Chapter 141 Did you think you could defeat me by attacking together?
Ben Beckman knew Shanks' strength well, and because he knew it, he knew that Shanks hadn't held back at all in that move.
Perhaps that strike was just a basic attack, not the most powerful move, but its power was definitely not much less.
The outcome is now quite clear.
He had to admit a problem he had never even considered before: Shanks... was no match for Kyle now!
This realization was a bit hard for Ben Beckman to accept, but there was nothing he could do; it was the truth, and now was not the time for him to accept it.
Now they need to figure out how to defeat Kyle.
Since Shanks alone wasn't strong enough, they had no choice but to gang up on him!
Thinking of this, Ben Beckman immediately shouted:
"Everyone, attack together!!"
After he finished speaking, no one stood up to refute him.
Shanks is indeed the leader of the pirate crew, but at many crucial moments, Ben Beckman would step in to take charge. His strength is not much weaker than Shanks', otherwise the Shanks Pirates in later generations would not be called a "dual emperor" configuration.
However, it is impossible to know exactly how strong Ben Beckman is, since he doesn't have a particularly large record, making it difficult to speculate.
Strength is only one aspect of Ben Beckman; he is also the undisputed strategist of the Red-Haired Pirates, capable of making the right choices based on the situation at any time.
Since he's now saying to have everyone attack together, it means that in his judgment, it's no longer the time for Shanks and Kyle to fight one-on-one.
If it's a normal one-on-one fight, and the consequences of losing aren't significant, then they can accept it.
But in the current situation, if Shanks is defeated, then even if the rest of them are tied together, they might not be a match for Kyle, and then they're doomed.
That might really be like Kyle said, going to Impel Down to enjoy prison life.
They're at the age where they should be striving and making a name for themselves; they don't want to end up in jail.
In an instant, everyone stared at Kyle with tense expressions, each adopting a fighting stance.
Despite the tense expressions on the faces of the Red-Haired Pirates' officers, Kyle maintained a faint smile.
"Ready to attack together?"
"It should have been done a long time ago! I don't think this is just you ganging up on us!"
"If Redhead has the advantage, let him fight me one-on-one; if he doesn't, then gang up on me. Logically speaking, this is a bit shameful, but realistically, it's the right thing to do!"
"After all, it's only natural for the weak to gang up on the strong!"
"but--"
"You think you can defeat me by attacking together?"
Kyle's voice grew louder, and as the last syllable fell, he raised his Purple Lightning sword, from which terrifying and violent purple lightning shot out, and he swung it out fiercely.
"Lightning strikes like a dragon and a snake!!"
The sword energy unleashed was not bound by any particular form, but rather resembled a living purple thunder dragon and electric snake, meandering and swiftly moving along the ground or in the air, automatically chasing after the group.
! !
Upon seeing this, everyone's pupils contracted sharply, and long-buried memories resurfaced in their minds. They recalled the feeling of being struck by this purple lightning four years ago.
The purple lightning of today is far more violent and terrifying than it was four years ago; its power is undoubtedly much greater.
Without the slightest hesitation, everyone immediately went all out; now was not the time to let them hold back.
The key issue is that they cannot dodge these attacks, otherwise the ship will be finished again, and they don't want to experience the situation of abandoning ship and fleeing in a sorry state again.
The crowd attacked the incoming lightning snakes or dragons, blasting them apart into countless tiny bolts of lightning, creating a constant crackling sound on the ship.
Looking at his shattered thunder dragons and thunder serpents, Kyle showed little surprise.
The Red-Haired Pirates were later known as the Ironclad Pirates, and their combat strength was much more balanced compared to other Yonko-level pirate crews.
The officers on the ship were all very capable.
Even though they are still young, each of them is at least a lieutenant general, and not just the most ordinary kind.
Of course, as I said before, the difference in strength between lieutenant generals and other military officers is too great.
They might not be weak to others, but when faced with his words...
That's not nearly enough!!
Kyle slowly raised his hand and whispered a single word:
"Disperse!"
The moment the words fell, the serpentine lightning bolts on the ship suddenly exploded, and in an instant, a purple sea of lightning engulfed the entire vessel.
Looking out, there was no trace of any ships; all that could be seen was a huge purple ball of lightning, the lightning dissipating into the sea, and sea fish of various shapes rising from the seabed, their bellies turning white.
Before long, the lightning ball slowly faded and dissipated, and on the deck of the ship inside, the rolling lightning also gradually dissipated, leaving only some fragments of lightning.
Looking up, none of the people on the deck had fallen, but several of them were charred black, emanating a faint smell of meat, and with their mouths slightly open, a wisp of black smoke was being exhaled from their mouths.
These people staggered several times, but none of them fell down.
"Oh! Not bad. Although this was just a casual strike from me, the fact that you didn't lose consciousness already puts you ahead of most people in the world!"
Kyle spoke softly.
Generally speaking, he doesn't often show off when fighting with others, and he rarely rambles on and on.
Why do they act this way when facing the Red-Haired Pirates?
The most important reason is that the Red-Haired Pirates are also very good at putting on airs, and they always exude a lot of pretentiousness every time they appear in the original work.
In that case, Kyle will have to compete with the other person to see who can pretend better!
Below, Ben Beckman dispelled his Armament Haki and looked down at his own body, where he saw that some parts of his body were also charred, with wisps of black smoke rising from them.
The pain and tingling sensations mixed together, it was so comfortable!
This shows that his Armament Haki is useful, but not very useful. It does have some resistance to Kyle's Thunder, but it cannot completely defend against it.
Moreover, this is the power of countless scattered lightning bolts; if they were concentrated and erupted at a single point...
Ben Beckman frowned deeply, looking up at Kyle with an even deeper look of seriousness in his eyes.
He let out a barely perceptible sigh.
"Looks like we're in for a tough battle!"
He glanced at the others, who were also dispelling their Armament Haki. However, some of them were still charred black even after dispelling their Armament Haki. This was because their Armament Haki training was not up to par, and they were almost completely defenseless.
Their breathing was also more disordered than that of the others.
Ben Beckman began by asking:
"Can you guys still hold on?!"
"No problem! I can still fight!!"
The men replied immediately, their breathing rapid but their tone firm.
"If that's the case, then let's fight!!"
Ben Beckman growled and charged towards Kyle, followed by the rest of the group, all heading towards Kyle...
