Capítulo 436: Meteor Raid!
In the face of the imminent danger of being engulfed by the combined firepower of Germa 66 and the Beasts Pirates, Vice Admiral Kizaru, known for his typically lazy demeanor, took proactive action.
Originally standing behind Sengoku, he transformed into beams of light in an instant, shooting into the air directly in front of the fleet, then swiftly reassembled into human form.
"Hmm~ So many cannonballs, this is quite troublesome~"
Kizaru lazily commented as his hands, originally tucked in his pockets, formed the starting gesture of the Eight Trigrams-Jewel-Sign in front of his chest.
As Kizaru charged up, a dazzling radiance flickered before him, illuminating the area above the Navy fleet like a miniature sun had appeared.
Just moments later, an unending stream of light bullets shot out from Kizaru's position, directly intercepting the cannonball barrage raining down like a deluge.
The light bullets touched the cannonballs, instantly detonating them, causing violent explosions in mid-air.
"Boom! Boom! Boom...!"
Almost instantaneously, all the incoming cannonballs were detonated.
For the Navy, such artillery exchanges were what they feared the least. For Kizaru, releasing attacks like this from his hands was the most unreasonable form of anti-aircraft weaponry, enough to completely neutralize a fleet pouring down firepower.
However, just as the Beasts Pirates and Judge thought the Navy would seize this opportunity to counterattack, they witnessed an unexpected scene.
Accompanied by the sound of waves hitting the hulls, the Navy began to retreat.
"What's the Navy doing?"
Judge frowned deeply as he watched the Navy's movements. He couldn't believe the Navy was retreating because the Beasts Pirates and Germa 66 appeared to be working together. After all, the cannon fire they had just jointly released hadn't even scratched a Navy vessel.
As the strongest force on the battlefield at this moment, every move of the Navy was attracting the attention of everyone on the battlefield.
Not just Judge, many in the Beasts Pirates also looked towards the slowly withdrawing Navy.
"The Navy is retreating!?"
"What the hell are these Navy guys up to?"
The pirates of the Beasts Pirates, who had expected a terrifying counterattack from the Navy, looked on in astonishment as the Navy slowly moved away.
"Do they want to surround us!?"
Some pirates reacted quickly, voicing their speculation. After all, in naval warfare, once surrounded, the situation for the surrounded side would be extremely unfavorable; ships without mobility and space on the sea were sitting ducks.
"Is this your first time at sea? If the Navy wanted to surround us, they would have scattered their formation, not maintained it like this!"
An elderly pirate, clearly exasperated, spoke out. These juniors nowadays were really becoming more and more useless.
"I don't know what the Navy's planning, but whatever they're going to do next will definitely be bad news for us."
The elderly pirate frowned as he looked towards the distant Navy fleet.
Far away,
Nicholas narrowed his eyes at the slowly retreating Navy. Then he turned to Judge, seeming to realize something.
"Judge, immediately disperse the Snail Battleships forming the war fortress and make sure they stay apart, not clustered together."
Though Judge didn't understand why Nicholas suddenly said this, judging from Nicholas's previous actions and strength, Judge immediately ordered the war fortress to disassemble.
Soon, the war fortress broke apart into individual Snail Battleships and quickly dispersed.
"Is this your 'plan', Sengoku?"
Nicholas's gaze sharpened, and his eyes seemed to cross the vast sea to meet the gaze of Sengoku standing on the flagship of the Navy.
"Admiral Sengoku, we've withdrawn to a safe zone!"
The Navy officer responsible for communication looked up at Sengoku on the flagship, awaiting further orders.
"Understood."
Sengoku looked at the Germa War Fortress beginning to disperse in the distance and didn't pay much attention. Even if he guessed Sengoku's plan, what difference would it make?
Then, Sengoku looked towards Sakazuki and Fujitora, who had been waiting for orders for a long time.
"Let's move, Sakazuki, Fujitora."
Upon hearing Sengoku's command, Sakazuki and Fujitora didn't speak further but moved forward silently.
Fujitora drew his sword-cane and sliced out several purple spiral waves into the night sky.
Moments later,
In the night sky, dozens of fiery lights flickered, seemingly responding to some summons.
If one looked closely, they would see.
Those were... dozens of massive meteorites with long fiery tails.
"Meteor shower."
After Issho used his ability to summon the meteorites from outer space, Sakazuki also unleashed his own power.
His arms, along with his clothing, transformed instantly into flowing magma. The lava-filled arms were raised into the air, then expelled numerous fist-shaped lava projectiles towards the area where the Beasts Pirates and Germa 66 were located.
These lava projectiles expanded rapidly upon leaving Sakazuki's arms, instantly turning countless magma projectiles into the sky, casting the entire sky into a crimson hue like a sunset.
Seconds later,
Just like the technique's name, Meteor Volcano, countless fist-shaped magma projectiles fell from the sky like a meteor shower, seemingly aiming to completely engulf the Beasts Pirates and Germa 66.
Following this Meteor Volcano, dozens of massive meteorites brought down by Issho using his gravity fruit ability followed suit.
The Beasts Pirates.
Countless pirates looked up in horror at the countless magma projectiles and dozens of meteorites, each as large as their own ships or even larger, falling like a meteor shower. At this moment, they felt as if they were in the midst of doomsday.
This kind of calamitous strike was utterly beyond their ability to resist. Even Kaido's boss and the intervention of Nicholas might not be able to stop it all.
"Is this kind of terrifying attack something a human can unleash?"
Watching the sky filled with the meteor shower and the incoming meteorites towards Germa, the Yonji, Ichiji, and Niji trio felt a strange emotion rising in their hearts.
After all, in just a few minutes, their worldview had been thoroughly shaken.
These individuals who had acted one after another, even the guy who simply intercepted all the cannonballs, could handle them as if they were toys.
In the eyes of these people, Germa's technology seemed no different from children's toys.
"What!?"
Seeing the successive magma rain and the looming huge meteorites, Judge was a little numb.
As a scientist, he could easily estimate the destructive power of Sakazuki's Meteor Volcano.
But what made him feel most hopeless was the meteorites brought down by Issho.
The enormous mass, coupled with the speed at which they fell from high altitude, meant these meteorites contained terrifying energy.
In Judge's view, even Kaido's body probably couldn't withstand being hit by so many meteorites.
Moreover, besides the terrifying energy contained within the meteorites themselves, the colossal tsunami caused by their impact into the sea was also a huge problem.
Whether it was the pirates of the Beasts Pirates, the Vince Smoke father and sons of Germa 66, or even some of the Navy who witnessed this artificial disaster, they were all shocked.
Meanwhile,
The scorching flames illuminated the sea.
Countless lava projectiles and meteorites, accelerated by gravity, finally made intimate contact with the sea surface.
"Boom!"
The enormous fist-shaped lava projectiles fell first, instantly engulfing many unlucky ships in a sea of fire.
The high temperature carried by the lava projectiles caused the sea water to boil instantly.
Then,
The more threatening massive meteorites came crashing down!
At this moment, the location of the Beasts Pirates and Germa 66 resembled a hellish landscape.
