Just how fierce is the Navy’s artillery? You can understand from this scene.

With a simultaneous volley, countless fireballs and smoke rose from the Edd War Island Reef Group. Amidst the deafening explosion, it seemed as if even the atmosphere trembled.

The accompanying journalists on the Navy warships held a livestream Den Den Mushi, transmitting this scene worldwide. Those watching the flames on screens were all stunned by the sight.

When they came back to their senses, the air was filled with cheers!

This was the first time the Navy displayed their immense power before the world. Those who were already inclined towards the World Government and the Navy naturally felt uplifted by it.

“That’s right! Blast them hard!” A wealthy noble, watching the battle unfold, couldn’t help but excitedly swing his fist adorned with jeweled rings.

However, there were also commoners who had benefited from the Whitebeard Pirates, covering their mouths in shock and worryingly watching, concerned for the Whitebeard Pirates.

The pirates watching were even more disheartened. Undeniably, they were intimidated by the Navy’s might…

“Hmph! The firepower of hundreds of warships!” In some part of the New World, Kid, the captain of the Kid Pirates, was also watching, unable to hold back a cold snort, “Ten times the scale of the Buster Call, the marines are really going all out this time…”

Members of the Hawkins Pirates were also gaping at the footage in astonishment. Their captain, Hawkins, was stoically performing a divination. As he did, he murmured, “Whitebeard Pirates’ evasion chance: 52%… It seems the Navy might not have it easy after all…”

There were simply too many islets in the Edd War Island group. The Navy’s simultaneous volley this time was essentially a random attack. At least for now, they hadn’t figured out where the Whitebeard Pirates were hiding on those islands, so they had to resort to this blunt approach.

After the first volley, Navy soldiers quickly reloaded the cannons, while Fleet Admiral Sengoku used a telescope to observe the surrounding sea.

While the Subordinates of the Whitebeard were attacking the Navy, Sengoku noticed that their actions weren’t a chaotic rush. They seemed planned and methodical. With so many pirate crews acting in unison, Sengoku found it hard to believe that there wasn’t someone commanding them. The only one capable of orchestrating such coordination would be that old man, Whitebeard. In Sengoku’s assessment, these pirates must have established contact with Whitebeard’s main base on the island; otherwise, this level of coordination would be impossible.   

So, what would that old Whitebeard do?

“Still not showing yourself?” Sengoku muttered to himself, unable to find any ship on the sea’s surface. Then he commanded, “Prepare for the second volley!”

Following Sengoku’s orders, the cannons of the Navy warships began adjusting their angles, preparing for the second simultaneous volley.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

Just as the Navy was about to fire, in the middle of the fleet’s formation, the sea suddenly bulged massively. Several ships caught within this bulge were lifted off by the surging sea!

Amidst the violent shaking, the Navy soldiers on board were thrown around, and some even fell into the sea.

While they were bewildered, trying to understand what had happened, the bulging sea suddenly splashed open, and a gigantic head emerged from the water!

It was a head adorned with curved horns and wild brown hair… a giant!

“Roar!!!!”

The moment it surfaced, the giant let out a roar as if it came from the depths of the wilderness. The roar was so powerful that some nearby Navy soldiers, who were dumbfoundedly looking at the giant, were caught off guard. The tremendous sound wave from the roar ruptured their eardrums, and they rolled on the ground in agony.

“Oz… Oz?!” Moria, riding on one of the warships, stood up in surprise upon seeing the giant. He looked in the direction of the giant and said, “No… that’s not Oz!”

Indeed, this giant was not the legendary demon Oz from the Kingdom of Ilusia, but his descendant.

Little Oz! Another demon with a colossal stature like his ancestor!

As Little Oz emerged from the sea, a thick membrane covering his body suddenly ruptured. Although it was just a brief moment, Sengoku and his crew caught a glimpse of it.

“Is that… coating?!” Vice-Admiral Garp exclaimed in astonishment. “He used this method… did this guy walk from the ocean floor?”

Little Oz’s body was towering, even taller than the giant Vice-Admirals serving in the Navy. However, such a height was still inadequate for the abyssal ocean. If it were any other sea, Little Oz wouldn’t have been able to achieve this.

However, the Edd War Sea was different. The seabed here was covered with coral reefs, with the Edd War Island Reefs as the highest point, sloping like a ramp extending outward to a vast area. So Vice-Admiral Garp’s statement that Little Oz had walked from the ocean floor was indeed a plausible scenario.

The Navy warships were originally arranged in a well-organized formation on the sea surface. However, with Little Oz suddenly emerging from the middle of this formation, it immediately disrupted the Navy’s battle formation.

The area where Little Oz stood seemed to have shallow waters. When he stood up, surprisingly, more than half of his body was exposed above the sea surface.

Even so, the Navy sailors on the warships had to tilt their heads upward to see Little Oz’s head. For a moment, the Navy was stunned, unsure how to react.

After emerging from the water, the first thing Little Oz did was put on a straw hat, then lowered his head to look at the warship closest to his right side.

The next moment, he reached out towards this warship. With one hand grasping the ship’s bow and the other holding its stern, he exerted force, effortlessly lifting the warship from the sea as if pulling out a radish.

Then, raising his hands above his head, he lifted the warship high up.

The Navy sailors on the ship, screaming in horror, tumbled into the sea like dumplings. Little Oz paid no heed and forcefully flung the warship forward!

Whoosh! The flung warship, accompanied by a deafening roar, crashed towards another warship on the sea’s surface!

“Jump overboard now!!!” The commander on that warship yelled desperately upon seeing the looming shadow in the sky.

However, it was too late. Except for a few agile sailors near the ship’s side who managed to leap off in the nick of time, others were caught off guard and hadn’t even started moving when the plummeting warship collided with theirs!

Crash! Like popping beans, under immense pressure, both warships shattered. Countless sailors were presumably crushed into minced meat. With a thunderous boom, the plummeting warship directly smashed the other warship into the sea, causing massive waves to shoot high into the sky.

The Navy sailors on the surrounding warships stared blankly at the scene, unable to snap out of their daze for quite some time.

As the waves gradually subsided, countless ship fragments floated up from the seabed, accompanied by a burst of red dyeing the seawater. The sailors couldn’t help but gulp down a mouthful of saliva subconsciously.

So… terrifying!

People watching this scene through the projector were equally stunned. This monster suddenly emerging from the depths had firmly captured everyone’s attention.

However, it wasn’t over yet; Little Oz’s rampage had just begun. This time, instead of targeting one warship, he held one warship in each hand, using them like hammers, smashing them alternately at nearby warships!

The large standardized warships of the Navy seemed like mere toys in Little Oz’s hands, being swung around…

“Quick! Retreat!” Commanders on the warships within Little Oz’s attack range yelled in horror, directing the Navy sailors to steer away.

Unfortunately, due to their previous bombardment of the Edd War Island, they had dropped anchor to maintain formation. With the ships stationary on the sea surface, it wasn’t easy to move suddenly.

This delay resulted in Little Oz destroying more than twenty warships consecutively!

The warships on the periphery, farther from the action, hurriedly turned their hulls, aiming their cannons towards Little Oz’s position, intending to open fire and attack him.

If targeted by the concentrated fire from the Navy, Little Oz would be in trouble. His enormous body would be an easy target, not even requiring precise aiming. As long as they fired in his direction, there was a high chance of hitting him.

However, just as the Navy warships were preparing to fire, the sea surface began to bulge repeatedly!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

One, two… ten… over a hundred!

A large number of resin-coated ships kept emerging from beneath the sea surface, appearing within the gaps of the Navy formation!

The Navy sailors watched in shock as these various-looking pirate ships continuously appeared. Then, to their horror, they noticed that the pirates holding torches on the sides of the ships had already ignited the fuses of their cannons!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Amidst the smoke, the pirate ships opened fire at the defenseless Navy warships at close range. Some strategically positioned pirate ships even managed to attack two warships simultaneously!

While their cannons were inferior to those of the Navy, the simultaneous broadside at such close range was not to be underestimated. For a moment, the Navy fleet suffered heavy losses.

More and more pirate ships emerged from the sea floor. The other pirates under Whitebeard’s command, which Sengoku had been searching for, had made their entrance in this unexpected manner.

“It seems they sailed from Fish-Man Island; only there could they get resin coatings…” Sengoku held up his telescope, watching the scene without much surprise. After all, hadn’t he ordered the fleet to bombard Edd War Island to force these pirates out?

Though their attack method caught Sengoku off guard, now that they had appeared, things became simpler!

If the pirates were attacking with unconventional tactics, then the Navy was ready to counter with conventional warfare.

“Summon the Warlords and Vice Admirals for battle!” Sengoku commanded, “If my estimation is correct, the main forces of the Whitebeard Pirates will soon join the battle…”
