OPI Chapter 51: The fierce encounter of the Black and White Cats with the Dragon
🕑 Added 2023-11-09 22:30:31 +0000 UTC“Black Cat, is there something wrong with these navy?”
Withe Cat stood at the stern of the ship and looked at the naval fleet that was still chasing after him. He asked a question to the Den Den Mushi in his hand, since he only had a feeling and could not clearly express what he felt.
At this time, he needs Black Cat who is a little smarter than him to answer his questions.
"It's the cannon fire, meow."
Sure enough, the black cat did not disappoint him this time.
“Those navies are gradually reducing the frequency of artillery fire, meow!”
As the Black Cat said this, he was also deep in thought. On the other hand, the Withe Cat showed a smile and said, "Could it be that they are running out of ammunition, meow?"
The former immediately shook his head and rejected this possibility.
"This is impossible. Everyone knows that the navy in the South Blue ranks second among the four seas in terms of wealth. To them, artillery shells are no different from the bullets in our eyes."
At that moment, when the last roar exploded in the sea not far away, the entire world suddenly seemed to fall silent and the sound of waves crashing on the deck was the only thing that could be heard.
“Black Cat, they ceased fire, meow!”
The White Cat shouted in surprise. Due to the short distance between the two ships and the stoppage of the artillery, the Black Cat could hear it without needing the Den Den Mushi.
“It’s strange, it’s so strange. We are obviously still a long way away from Reverse Mountain, and these navy still have no intention of catching up with them.”
The latter looked at the surrounding sea and found that he and others were once again surrounded by three parties, but the warships were just following quietly.
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps quickly approached from behind him. When he turned to look, he saw a crew member running towards him with a panicked expression, spreading his arms to the sides and shouting, "Captain! There are warships ahead! And they are huge, extraordinarily huge!"
At the same time, the same situation was happening on the White Ship side.
The next moment, the black cat and the white cat turned into vague afterimages at an extremely alarming speed and rushed from the stern to the bow. They also saw five incredibly large and terrifying warships approaching from the front.
"What the hell are those things, meow?"
The White Cat opened his mouth and murmured to himself in disbelief. Because he is a Cat-Cat devil fruit user, his visual ability is very strong, so he can see more clearly than ordinary people.
Those warships in the front are visually several times larger than those of the South Blue warships in the back, especially the caliber of the triple turrets above are very scary.
"If my guess is correct, it should be the legendary warship of the Navy Headquarters, meow." The Black Cat answered with a pale face.
“Navy Headquarters?”
"Yes, I really didn't expect that the South Blue nobles would be so capable as to invite the navy headquarters to catch us." The Black Cat was in a complicated mood at this moment.
He feels both desperate and inexplicably flattered. After all, looking at all pirate groups in the South Blue, no one has attracted the attention of the Navy Headquarters. From this point of view, they are quite powerful.
“Hey, what are you thinking about at this time, meow?!”
Opposite, Dragon on the warship received a question from the lower-level marines about whether to fire cannons. His answer was of course no. With the cannons of these headquarters-level warships, as long as one shot hits, the other side's ship will basically stop. Then How to practice?
“Rear Admiral Irwin, I’ll leave this to you. You can notify the warships of the South Blue's marine branches to return. By the way, I would like to express my gratitude for your hard work.”
“No problem, I look forward to your performance!” Rear Admiral Irwin smiled gently.
'Performance?'
Dragon glanced at the other party in confusion, but at this moment, the familiar sound of cannons sounded again, followed by two sharp sounds of breaking through the air.
The two men looked up and saw two red-hot shells approaching at high speed.
"Hey, I didn't expect that the pirates in the South Blue are quite brave and actually rushed towards us!" Rear Admiral Irwin raised his brows and said with some surprise.
At the same time, Dragon transformed into a light green whirlwind and soared into the sky. The raging wind blew the justice coat on Rear Admiral Irwin to the ground.
"Is this the ability of the Logia-type storm fruit? It's a bit cool~" Irwin looked at the flying green whirlwind with envy in his eyes.
On the ship of the Black Cat Pirates, the Den Den Mushi in the hands of the captain showed a fierce expression.
"Don't worry about the headquarters and branches. Since there is no way to retreat, the only way to survive is to fight. After all, the opponent is only three warships. Even if they are bigger, they will only have several times more people to survive. Fight them! Meow! "
Hearing the words of Withe Cat, Black Cat had to admit that the other party was more courageous than him in this situation, and he was indeed able to do so.
At this moment, he has fully realized the intention of the South Blue Navy. They didn't want to push them towards Reverse Mountain, they wanted to take them in front of the Navy Headquarters fleet!
“You are right, sometimes you have to fight hard when you should fight hard, and now is such a time, meow!”
After saying that, the body of Black Cat changed dramatically at a speed visible to the naked eye. His size was rapidly expanding, his pores grew thick white-yellow hair, the tips of his ears were rounded and blunt, and his pupils turned light green.
This is the hybrid form of the Zoan-type Pallas Cat fruit!
“Get ready to fight! Meow!” Black Cat shouted at the surrounding crew members, his voice becoming rougher than before.
"Meow!"
Nearly three hundred crew members of the Black Cat Pirates and the White Cat Pirates roared and meowed in unison, not only to cheer for the upcoming battle, but also to express their trust in the strength of the two captains.
These are two devil fruit power users, what are you afraid of?
However, in the next instant, some people noticed that the projectiles they had fired were returning in the opposite direction. The two dark projectiles became larger and larger in the sky.
"Be careful!”
The terrifying scream alerted all the pirates on both ships.
[Whoosh, whoosh!]
Fortunately, the captain they had always believed in did not let them down.
They watched as a white and a black figure moved at high speed, jumping on the tall masts and cutting the air with sharp claws. The two shells returning to their ships split into three pieces and exploded in the air in the blink of an eye.
"Wow!"
This impressive display thrilled the pirates on both ships. They always reacted that way whenever they saw their captains ripping apart the shells.
However, Black Cat and White Cat did not relax at all, but instead became more vigilant and nervous.
Because they knew very well that it was impossible for the cannonballs to fly back on their own, so for something so contrary to common sense, as a Devil Fruit user, the first thing they could think of was the ability of the Devil Fruit.
Coupled with the fact that as an Zoan-type user, he is more sensitive in terms of sixth sense, the unprecedented strong sense of crisis in his heart is even more shocking.
[Whoosh!]
Suddenly, a strong wind arose on the deck of the black ship, throwing more than a dozen pirates into the air. In that clear space, a tall Navy officer appeared.
