A strange sensation, as if the air in the entire space had frozen.
Before they could react, a low sound of air being pierced rang out without warning.
Bang!
A violent, tidal wave of shockwaves, with an imposing and unparalleled posture, rapidly crushed towards the distant sea.
Wherever it passed, the sea surface seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand.
Then, with a crushing force, it headed straight for one of the pirate ships.
Boom!
The tens-of-meters-long pirate ship was instantly cut in half.
The invisible shockwave, with its power undiminished, instantly engulfed the flying Fish-Man giant.
Accompanied by the sound of bones shattering.
The seven-to-eight-meter-tall Fish-Man giant, at this moment, became like a sandbag, directly swept away by the crushing airwaves towards the distant sea.
Finally, on the sea five to six hundred meters away, it exploded.
Boom!
Violent airwaves rolled back, and the resulting tsunami-like waves.
The seawater that fell like a torrential rain, like a downpour, jolted the stunned people awake.
"Enemy attack! It's an enemy attack!"
A pirate cried out in terror.
Looking at the pirate ship, cut in half and scattered across the sea.
And the sea surface, which had been torn open, creating a vacuum zone where seawater poured in.
At this moment, it was truly a shocking and lingering horror.
Looking at the center of the shockwave's explosion, where the sea waves had not yet subsided.
They knew clearly that if their pirate ship had also been in the path of the attack, they would have been doomed.
Especially Ain, who was not far from the shockwave and had narrowly escaped.
The moment she landed back on the deck, her pretty face turned deathly pale.
"Ain, you're lucky to have such good luck..." Binz hurried forward.
In their eyes, Ain and the Fish-Man giant were only seven to eight meters apart.
If the shockwave had deviated even slightly and swept Ain in, her small frame would have been either dead or severely injured in the attack.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that the attack just now seemed..." Ain said, regaining her composure slightly.
However, before she could finish, a sudden voice startled everyone.
"Quickly see if there's an unknown pirate ship approaching in the direction of the attack, flying a blood-red pirate flag!"
The Navy new recruits, who had just caught their breath, turned pale.
After witnessing such a fierce surprise attack, they had initially fantasized about Navy reinforcements arriving.
Giving them a glimmer of hope for survival.
However, the pirate ship now approaching, with its pirate flag fluttering in the wind, clearly shattered this last shred of hope.
Looking at the colossal pirate ship before them, it felt like the grim reaper's summons.
Even Zephyr and Ain's faces turned pale.
It seemed heaven itself was trying to destroy them!
"Pirates?"
Baccarat's withered face twitched slightly.
A fierce look then flashed across her face as she said, "Hmph, no matter who you are, old man Zephyr is our prey."
"My precious son, kill all these Navy new recruits before he arrives."
"It doesn't matter who this pirate is. As long as we can kill these Navy new recruits and severely injure the former Marine Admiral, we will achieve our goal. The Seven Warlord position will be within reach!"
In Baccarat's eyes, she had never intended to kill Zephyr from the start.
Killing a former Marine Admiral was a different matter from killing Navy new recruits.
The former would enrage the Marine Headquarters and the World Government.
But the death of new recruits was commonplace on this sea.
In this maritime situation, the Marine Headquarters would absolutely not go to war with a madman.
"Ain, hurry and escape! If even one of you can get away, that's one. I believe that with Laxus's training, you have a chance to escape!" Zephyr roared urgently, clutching his severed arm.
However, as soon as these words were spoken, Weevil, who was blocking him, moved instantly.
"Mom, I know!" Weevil sniffled, and with a flicker of his body, he moved like a phantom, crossing tens of meters.
He appeared before Ain in a flash.
The naginata in his hand, glinting with Armament Haki, slashed directly downwards.
The sudden attack shook everyone's nerves.
Especially seeing the Armament Haki flowing on the blade.
And the horrifying scene of Zephyr losing an arm earlier.
They clearly remembered the bloody scene.
Facing Ain's small frame, they didn't believe she could withstand an attack that even Zephyr couldn't endure.
"You die! Only then will my mom be happy!" Weevil said with a low, nasal voice.
The speed of his slash increased sharply, and the momentum became even greater.
Facing Binz and the new recruits behind him, Ain's face turned pale, and she had no choice but to raise her dagger to block, without attempting to dodge.
Clang!
A crisp metallic collision suddenly sounded.
Immense power was unleashed, and violent air currents rolled back.
Ain, with her eyes closed, felt a sense of suffocating pressure.
However, facing the long-awaited attack, the violent force that should have been transmitted through the dagger.
At this moment, she felt nothing.
Nor did she feel any sense of mortal danger.
Most importantly, the noisy battlefield had fallen into a dead silence at this moment.
It could be described as so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
A jumble of thoughts flashed through Ain's mind.
Without time to think, she hurriedly opened her eyes and looked forward.
The first sight that met her eyes made Ain's pupils contract sharply.
A shining bald head stood directly before her.
Ink-black Armament Haki covered half of his head.
The fiercely slashing naginata was chopping directly onto the bald head.
However, the originally sharp attack, falling on the seemingly unarmed bald head.
Gave the impression of being unable to shake it in the slightest.
Strange!
Too strange!
Especially seeing the banana-tight clothing and the red cloak.
Especially the unchanging, listless dead fish eyes of the person under attack.
At this moment, let alone the pirates present, even the "incompetent" Weevil was questioning his own existence.
"Sorry about that. I was just about to land, and it seems my landing spot is a bit inconvenient for you." Kai said, his dead fish eyes flickering, as if nothing had happened.
"However, is that slash meant to tickle me?"
"Or are you hungry and haven't eaten, why do you have so little strength?"
