The fleet, hidden above the clouds, slowly descended.
Kru and Leia, already in mid-air, flew ahead, leading the charge towards Achi and Seth.
"Protect His Majesty!"
"Shoot them down!"
"Fire!"
Kru didn't possess Noro's defensive capabilities, able to ignore bullets, but bullets were still ineffective against him.
The hawk's body was completely black, fully covered in Armament Haki. A hail of bullets striking him only produced sparks.
Leia was not like Kru, the hawk-like man, charging head-on.
She was relatively graceful.
The griffon vulture spread its wings, easily dodging the dense rain of bullets.
The fleet landed, and the Beasts Pirates crew members leaped to the ground.
Englar Alaric and Raja stood at the forefront, the lion and tiger cracking their knuckles.
Raja looked at Achi and Seth in front, scoffing, "Cats and dogs are fit to be kings!"
Old Englar, for once, didn't refute Raja, nodding in agreement. "They're more like pets."
"Tell me, how many small animals do we have to kill before they kneel and surrender?" Raja's tiger eyes gleamed with cruelty.
Englar Alaric chuckled mockingly. "We'll know once we start killing!"
"Indeed!"
The two exchanged glances, then shouted in unison with perfect synchronicity, "Beasts Pirates, kill them all!"
"Oh!"
"Oh!"
…
A tiger's roar erupted, and Raja had already transformed into a striped tiger, pouncing forward.
Englar Alaric, not to be outdone, transformed into a lion and followed closely behind.
The Beasts Pirates crew members, wielding their weapons, followed the lead of Captains Englar Alaric and Raja, attacking the Zou army.
The hawk and griffon vulture moved through the hail of bullets as if no one was there. Seeing the two getting closer.
A dog guard next to Achi was about to step forward with his sword, but Achi stopped him. "You are no match for him. Let me handle it."
"Your Majesty!"
The dog guard's voice was filled with self-reproach and guilt. As the king's guard, to let the king personally take action, how incompetent he was.
Achi patted his shoulder, comforting him. "No need to blame yourself. All of you go help resist the pirates. Leave this to me and Seth."
Since they couldn't do anything about them, there was no need to waste bullets here.
"Yes, sir!"
The dog guard nodded unwillingly, leading the other guards away from Achi's side.
Achi's expression was solemn. He forced a smile at Seth. "Today, we fight side by side again."
Seth returned Achi's smile, proclaiming passionately, "For Wano, Zou Island has an inescapable duty!"
"Sigh…"
Noro, high above in the clouds, heard this and doubted his own ears.
Shouldn't your slogan be: For Zou Island?
Achi and Seth exchanged smiles, then drew the longswords from their waists, facing Kru and Leia.
However, the two, whose index fingers had just been severed by Noro, found that with a slight force on their swords, blood spurted from their wounds.
Fingers connected to the heart. The excruciating pain made it difficult for them to grip their swords tightly.
Kru had transformed into his human-beast form, his feet retaining their claw shape. Armament Haki gathered on his sharp claws, and he swooped down from above, striking Achi with a claw.
Achi covered his beloved sword with Armament Haki, swinging it to meet the attack. Upon closer inspection, one could even see lightning crackling on the blade.
Clang!
Sword and claw clashed, producing the sound of metal striking stone. Sparks flew at the point of impact.
Kru's eyes were mocking, scoffing, "You said they couldn't stop me, making it sound like you could."
Achi gritted his teeth, struggling to hold on. With his severed finger, he couldn't exert his full strength, and blood continued to flow from the wound with each collision.
But as a king, he refused to show any fear, shouting, "Mere pirates, do not be so arrogant!"
Kru chuckled contemptuously. "And what will you do if I am arrogant?"
Saying this, Kru exerted more force, pushing Achi back repeatedly.
On the other side, Leia's long, powerful legs kicked towards Seth.
However, Seth, unlike Achi, chose not to meet it head-on, but quickly leaped away with the agility of a cat.
Leia's foot landed, kicking a large hole directly into the ground.
Seth, who had leaped away, couldn't help but be speechless at the deep pit Leia had created.
This woman's legs are so powerful!
Leia's attack missed, and she sneered, "Not bad speed, but no matter how miserably you flee, you can't escape a griffon vulture's pursuit."
Leia's hands transformed into wings, flapping twice. In the next instant, her figure became a blur, kicking towards Seth.
"So fast!"
Seth only felt a flash before his eyes, and Leia's long leg was already before him.
Unable to dodge, he could only hastily raise his longsword to block.
Bang! Longsword and long leg collided. Seth was sent flying backward by the immense force, crashing into a distant boulder.
The boulder instantly collapsed. Seth coughed up a mouthful of blood, quickly standing up, his eyes wary as he looked in Leia's direction.
Meanwhile, Englar Alaric and Raja had already engaged in battle with the animals of Zou.
All the animals of Zou possessed innate lightning abilities, and also had the characteristics of various animals.
It was not wrong to say that they were born warriors.
Every one of them was a Zoan human-beast form, wielding lightning. Could you withstand that?
However, the Beasts Pirates crew members were even stronger.
The most advanced weapons researched by Queen, daily training that pushed their potential by Matty Tao, and ample meat. These people were all tall and burly, fearless of death.
What's more, Captains Englar Alaric and Raja were charging at the front.
Any animal couldn't withstand a single round against the two Kings of Beasts, being torn to shreds.
Blood stained their fur, and a perverse, satisfied smile hung on their lips.
High above in the clouds, the Tengu Serpent watched the battle below with interest.
Englar Alaric and Raja were purely slaughtering the weak. Kru and Leia were also gaining the upper hand in their battle against the two kings.
The current kings' strength was average, not possessing the combined strength of the later Nekomamushi and Inuarashi, who could fight Jack.
And it wasn't nighttime now, nor was there a moon. No unexpected events would occur.
They weren't worthy of him taking action. Kru and Leia were more than enough to deal with them.
Rather die than submit?
Heh.
The samurai and commoners of Wano had also shouted such things.
In the end, didn't they still kneel and beg for mercy?
Kill until heads roll, kill until blood flows like rivers, kill until everyone's guts shatter.
He didn't believe Zou wouldn't kneel!
