Chapter 125 Beehive Island- Uninvited Guests
New World·Honeycomb Island
The harbor of Beehive Island was filled with the wreckage of a half-sunken merchant ship, with several corpses gnawed by Sea Kings hanging on the deck.
As the night shrouded Beehive Island, flames shot up into the sky, wine barrels rolled, and the pirates' laughter and women's screams mixed together.
"Hahaha! Whitebeard's territory is ours now!"
In the tavern, a drunk was pressing a flintlock against a dancer's temple: "Dance faster for Laozi!"
The sound of gunfire coincided with the woman's screams, and brains splattered on the rum barrel on the bar.
"Hahaha! Whitebeard's wine collection is ours!"
The one-eyed Pirates kicked open the cellar door, followed by dozens of thugs with green eyes.
They pounced on the barrels labeled "Edward Newgate Exclusive" like hyenas, and one thin man even lay down beside the barrel and caught the wine with his mouth.
A drunken Pirates, carrying a bottle of wine, kicked open the door of the warehouse, which was filled with treasures, weapons and fine wines that the Whitebeard Pirates once treasured.
"Grab it! Take as much as you can!"
Pirates rushed in frantically, scrambling for the spoils. Some even drew their swords against each other for a box of gold. Blood splattered on the jewelry, reflecting a greedy red light.
In the fortress in the center of the island, two men were sitting on a throne made of bones, watching all this with cold eyes.
"Whitebeard is dead, Kaido is being held hostage by Red Hair, and Big Mom is busy having a tea party..."
Silver Axe John wiped the blood-stained axe in his hand and sneered, "This ocean is finally ours."
Ochoku leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingertips lightly on the armrest, his eyes dark. "But Marine won't sit idly by."
"Marine?"
Silver Axe scoffed. "They're too busy cleaning up New World's mess right now to bother with us."
"and..."
He stood up, his axe blade carving a deep groove in the ground. "Even if they come, they'll have to ask Laozi's axe first!"
Through the castle's floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the Pirates "enjoying" the fun in the square:
There was a fish-man chained up as a living target;
The nurse from Whitebeard's Protectorate Island is being sold at the auction block;
Drunk Pirates urinated on a Whitebeard statue;
Silver Axe suddenly swung his axe, smashing the entire window pane and yelling, "You bastards! Attack the last island tomorrow!"
The thugs raised their bloody swords and cheered, no one noticed that on the dark horizon, a dark shadow was rushing across the sea.
Ochoku was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Don't be too confident. Sakazuki... isn't someone you can easily mess with."
Silver Axe snorted disdainfully. "Lava brat? Back on Rocks' ship, he was just a recruit!"
As the two of them were talking—
"boom--!!!"
A terrifying and oppressive feeling, like a deep-sea monster awakening, suddenly enveloped the entire Honeycomb Island!
The air seemed to be crushed by an invisible pressure; the songs of celebration, the lewd laughter, and the clashing of swords all came to an abrupt end at this moment.
The originally reveling Pirates seemed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand around their hearts. Their bodies were cold and even breathing became difficult. Wine glasses fell to the ground in piles, spilling out the reflection of fear in the wine.
Silver Axe and Ochoku suddenly stood up, fighting spirit and warning signs pounding wildly in their hearts, their eyes fixed on the coastline.
I saw a black shadow breaking through the waves, dragging a water wall that was a hundred meters long. Like a meteor falling from the sky, the violent air waves overturned the entire fortification!
Wherever it passed, the Pirates guarding the shore didn't even have time to scream, their bodies exploded into a bloody mist under the impact of the Ultimate, and their body parts flew everywhere, dyeing the golden streets red!
"Swish!"
The black shadow rushed in front of the two men like a black meteor. The smoke and dust raised by the aftermath had not yet dissipated, and a suffocating smell of blood and fighting spirit had already crushed them.
It was a burly figure as tall as an iron tower - with broad shoulders and back, and muscular like a mobile battle fortress.
The blood-red eyes looked like two volcanoes about to erupt in the night!
"Douglas Bullet?!"
Silver Axe's pupils contracted violently, and he clenched the axe handle tightly in his hand. The veins on the back of his hand bulged, and even the heavy battle axe trembled slightly because of his grip!
Ochoku's face was ashen, and his voice was so low that it seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat: "This madman...why is he here?"
Bullet crossed his arms over his chest, his chest rising and falling slightly, and one could almost hear the roar of fighting spirit surging in his body.
The corners of his mouth slowly curled up into an arrogant and contemptuous smile, and his voice was like an iron hoof crushing bones: "Heh... a mere remnant of the Rocks? You dare to call yourself emperor?"
"Bullet!" Ochoku asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing on Beehive Island?"
Bullet said indifferently: "Intuition."
"intuition?!"
Silver Axe laughed in anger, crushing the ground beneath his feet with his foot, "Are you f*****g kidding me?!"
Bullet ignored him and just slowly raised his head, his scarlet eyes piercing through the night, as if he had already seen the storm that was about to sweep in the distance.
"My intuition tells me—"
"A real war is about to begin here."
"And I will find an opponent worthy of fighting here!"
Before he finished speaking——
"boom!!!!!"
A huge surge of Conqueror's Haki erupted instantly, sweeping across the entire island like a raging wave!
That Haki was ferocious, unruly, and extremely wild, roaring at the sky like an unrestrained ancient beast!
The Pirates of the entire Beehive Island were like straw in a wheat field, swept away in an instant, and fell down in large numbers!
Countless pirates foamed at the mouth, their eyes rolled back, and they fainted on the spot!
Even Silver Axe and Ochoku, who always prided themselves on being rebellious, were shocked by the Conqueror's power and took several steps back.
Cold sweat streamed down their foreheads, and their chests felt as heavy as if a mountain was pressing down on them.
They were actually forced into a half-kneeling position!
"This...this kind of Conqueror's!!!"
Silver Axe gritted his teeth, his legs trembling slightly, and he managed to keep from kneeling by holding the axe handle tightly.
Ochoku's body tensed up, a storm rising in his heart: "This man... is no ordinary Conqueror's owner!"
"He... is simply a fighting monster in human skin!"
Bullet looked down at the two of them, his eyes filled with naked disappointment.
"Don't worry—"
His voice, full of feral disdain, rang out again, "I have no interest in... Whitebeard's tattered legacy."
"Because you are not even qualified to be my opponent."
After he finished speaking, he ignored the two of them and turned straight towards the depths of the fortress.
The golden door shattered under his kick, and he strode forward as if this Beehive Island had become his personal training ground.
Silver Axe was shaking with anger and smashed the throne into pieces with one blow of his axe: "What a b*****d! Who does he think he is?!"
Ochoku reached out to stop him, a gleam in his eyes: "Don't be impulsive!"
"Didn't you understand? He said—there's going to be a war here!"
Silver Axe's expression changed. "Could it be... Marine is here?!"
The two looked at each other, and a strong sense of unease rose in their hearts at the same time.
At this moment, Bullet was already standing in the shadows at the highest point of the fortress, his scarlet eyes like two blazing torches piercing the darkness.
He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and a passionate smile full of desire appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Come on—Rogge."
"Let me see if the so-called Xuanlin Admiral... is worthy of my full-strength battle!"
The sea breeze roars and war drums can be heard faintly in the distance.
The silence before the war was completely torn apart!
