Chapter 140 Retreat
The top-ranking fighters recognized on the high seas are several pirate emperors and the admirals, the highest-ranking combatants in the Marine Headquarters.
Characters like Rayleigh and Garp also belong to the top tier.
……
There are many factors that influence a battle, including timing, location, number of people, and ability.
Even a powerful individual who is proficient in both types of Haki could be killed by a mere pirate's unique Devil Fruit ability upon first meeting.
Those who are among the top-tier powerhouses can only be dealt with by powerhouses of the same level.
-
Below that, Shanks was originally the closest to the top, but now it's Allen.
His most powerful offensive move is comparable to a strike from a top-tier expert.
The sword strike that cleaved through Beehive Island might even make one think that he had reached that level.
If he were on the pirate side, it's estimated that soon there would be reports of him being the "Fourth Emperor of the Sea," with his bounty exceeding 3 billion.
……
Dol knows Allen too well.
Although Allen hadn't told her about the drawbacks of using the kaleidoscope, based on her understanding of Allen's personality...
If Allen had truly reached the level of a general, he would definitely have gone to the marshal's office to request Sengoku to add another general to the rank.
Since there was no such attack, it means that the strike was not his usual method of attack, but rather a "powerful move" with a considerable cost.
This also explains why, after demonstrating such strength, he chose a hit-and-run tactic when facing the Red-Haired Pirates.
Allen would never have done this if he could have easily defeated his opponent head-on.
……
Dol realized this and found the sudden appearance of the Kuja Pirates troublesome.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea are an organization used by the World Government to maintain order on the seas, and strength is the primary criterion.
In other words, the Pirate Empress already possessed terrifying power to influence the situation on the seas several years ago.
After leaving the Seven Warlords of the Sea, her bounty would increase dramatically every two weeks, making her arguably the strongest pirate of her time.
One more thing...
When Hancock was still affiliated with the World Government, she attacked Allen, and now...
We must never let Hancock land on Beehive Island!
If someone with that kind of strength participates in the battle, Allen will be under immense pressure!
……
Taking a deep breath, Dol directed the crew to steer the White Wolf, blocking Hancock's Perfume Serpent.
This bright red ship has a strong Snake Island style, with carved beams and painted rafters, lifelike reliefs and gold accessories, making the ship look like a luxurious work of art.
Dole suddenly had an idea.
Speaking of which...
The architectural styles of Amazon Lily and Flower Country are very similar. Is there any connection between the two?
……
"Why are the navy here...? What's on that ship...?"
Boa Sandsonia strode to the bow of the ship, saw Dol on the opposite warship, and gritted her teeth, snorting coldly, "It's you..."
If Rayleigh hadn't ended the battle back then, she and this female marine would still be locked in a stalemate.
"I don't care why you're here, get out of here! Don't interfere with us!"
Sanda roared, his voice cutting through the sea breeze between the two ships.
……
"I should be the one saying that."
Dol stood proudly at the bow of the ship and sneered, "The navy is on official business. If you get out now, I'll deal with you when I have time."
With a wave of her hand, the cannons on the warships adjusted their angles and aimed at the Perfume Cruise Ship.
The naval soldiers on deck also raised their muskets, and the atmosphere became tense.
……
Why did you stop?
A majestic voice, imbued with honey and languor, rang out, as if it were not transmitted through the air, but echoed directly in one's very bones.
Before even seeing the source of the voice, the sailors on deck felt a wave of dizziness, their bodies went limp, and they almost couldn't even hold their guns.
Dor glared at them with exasperation, thinking of the old West Sea troops who had been sent out for training in recent years.
It's about time to recall them; at least they won't be unable to stand even that woman's voice!
……
That peerless figure passed over Sanda, looking down at Dor with a uniquely arrogant posture.
"You rude person, you are blocking my way, get out of my way."
Compared to Sanda's tone, her voice was calm, yet it carried the air of a superior issuing an order, brooking no refusal.
……
Dol's lips curled into a mocking sneer: "Isn't this the rather ordinary-looking female pirate Hancock? What, now that you've left the Seven Warlords of the Sea, are you coming to the Pirate Paradise to make a living?"
……
That's incredibly malicious.
As I've said before, the only thing Dol can learn from Allen is his sharp tongue.
……
As expected, Hancock's composure shattered instantly, and she glared at Dol.
"How dare you... utter such offensive words!!"
She had just raised her hand, preparing to act.
Mary, the youngest of the three sisters, whispered close, "Sister! That's the White Wolf's ship. That guy might be here!"
"We're here to rescue people. Let's not clash with the navy yet, let's take a detour!"
……
White Wolf...
After thinking for a moment, Hancock remembered who Mary was talking about.
It's that bastard!
She immediately activated her Observation Haki to cover the White Wolf, but did not detect Allen. As her Observation Haki spread...
No, they didn't actually need Observation Haki; some of the crew had already spotted the ravine running through Beehive Island.
"What is that?! Was Beehive Island like this before?!"
……
After traveling more than ten miles, Hancock saw the two sides fighting on Beehive Island, and her beautiful pupils contracted.
It's the Red-Haired Pirates!
Hancock took a deep breath as she recognized the people they were fighting.
That man is actually strong enough to fight the Red-Haired Pirates all by himself?! How is that possible?!
Although she had never met Shanks, Hancock had heard Rayleigh mention him.
Rayleigh called him someone who was capable of inheriting the will of the Pirate King and would eventually reach the pinnacle of the sea.
Even from this distance, Hancock could sense that Shanks' Conqueror's Haki was far stronger than her own; Rayleigh's words were definitely not an exaggeration.
Nevertheless...
Despite the onslaught from the crowd, that man remained calm and composed, handling the situation with ease!
Why are they fighting on Beehive Island?
Hancock couldn't figure it out, but now was not the time to think about it.
……
His gaze returned to Dor, sweeping over the cannons mounted on the giant White Wolf and the group of marines with hearts in their eyes.
Ha, apart from that rude woman, she's not worth mentioning.
"Drive past it, or we'll ram and sink that tasteless boat."
Hancock calmly gave the order, without any intention of explaining.
This is the arrogance of an emperor!
……
The giant serpent dragged the large ship along, and it looked like the two ships were about to collide.
"Alian really likes this ship. If you dare to ram it, are you prepared to face his wrath?"
Dol pointed to Beehive Island and said calmly, "Even Shanks couldn't do this much before he chased him here. He's the one who split this island in two."
……
The snake wasn't very intelligent and couldn't understand what Dol meant. Anyway, since its master hadn't given any orders, it just kept driving.
They drew closer, and the ripples between the two ships began to surge.
……
"Stop!"
Hancock let out a cold snort of extreme resentment.
"We...will go around it!"
