"Is this the strength of a Navy Rear Admiral? How utterly useless."
"Not satisfying at all. How boring."
Flapping her wings, Wyvern Girl Feixue looked down at the fallen Rear Admiral with clear disinterest.
This was her first battle since birth.
In just a few minutes, she had effortlessly eliminated large numbers of marines along with a Rear Admiral.
Yet Feixue remained unsatisfied.
This was only natural - a Vice Admiral level combatant facing a Rear Admiral.
While not exactly like crushing an ant,
for a Beast Girl of her combat prowess, it was still far too easy.
Beast Girls were nearly invincible against opponents of the same rank, only true geniuses could pose a challenge.
Clearly, among the present Rear Admirals, there were no such true geniuses.
"Whatever, Master said to finish the battle quickly and not waste time."
"I need to be even faster."
With that, Feixue paid no further attention to the Rear Admiral, transforming into a green flash as she resumed her slaughter.
All that remained was the unnamed Rear Admiral, struggling as he died.
As Feixue continued her killing spree, leaving rivers of blood in her wake, the Navy side finally lost their composure.
"Damn pirates! Don't get too arrogant! You're just a mere Zoan Type user!"
"Armament: Iron Fist!"
Boom~
Clang~
A tall figure appeared before Feixue, his Armament Haki-covered fist sending her flying.
Feixue's body crashed through the ship's cabin, sending wooden splinters flying everywhere.
The blow halted her advance.
"Oh~"
"A Navy Vice Admiral. Not bad, this should make things more interesting."
Feixue stood up from the wreckage, shaking off the wood fragments completely unharmed.
Seeing Vice Admiral Star before her, she grew excited.
Only opponents of similar strength could provide Feixue with sufficient entertainment.
Without wasting words, she fully extended her broad wings, transforming into a green flash that appeared mid-air.
Looking down at Star, she immediately dove down for the attack.
"Wyvern Burst!"
The green scales covering her body bristled, coated with a faint layer of Armament Haki.
Combined with the momentum from her diving altitude, the impact was terrifyingly powerful.
Star's expression changed dramatically as he quickly covered his entire body with Armament Haki, choosing to attack proactively.
"Armament: Steel Fist!"
The muscles in his arm bulged, instantly doubling in size as he threw a punch.
Boom~
The collision between the two created powerful shockwaves that sent nearby weaker pirates tumbling and flying through the air.
Crack~
Crack~
The deck where Star stood developed numerous cracks that spread throughout the entire warship.
Unnoticed, the warship was becoming increasingly damaged.
Whoosh~
After the impact, Feixue's body twisted strangely mid-air, her lower dragon claws extending.
"Wyvern Mark!"
"What?"
Caught completely off guard, Star was sent flying.
He crashed heavily through the ship's cabin, smashing through several rooms before finally stopping.
It took Star a while to emerge from the cabin, a clear dragon claw mark visible on his chest.
"Huff, huff~"
Star was breathing heavily. Though the previous exchange had been brief, it had taken a significant toll on him.
Maintaining Armament Haki over one's entire body consumes tremendous physical energy—not every Vice Admiral is called Garp.
'Damn it, where did this madwoman come from? How is she so powerful?'
'And judging by her appearance, she's also a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user. Where did she appear from?'
'Even though we're both at Vice Admiral level, I'm no match for her. This is truly terrifying.'
'The Rocks Pirates shouldn't have such combat power. Those intelligence officers are utterly useless—what kind of intel have they been gathering?'
At this moment, Star found himself sharing the same thought as Sengoku.
Brian's emergence had been far too sudden for the Navy, with no prior intelligence about him whatsoever.
Perhaps Headquarters had some minor information on him, but nothing noteworthy.
Having crossed over more than six years ago, Brian had laid low for the first four years.
After setting sail in the subsequent two years, he rarely revealed his true capabilities publicly.
He frequently operated in the black market, collecting Devil Fruits and rare materials, seldom appearing in the open.
Only certain forces active in the New World's black market had some impression of this "Beasts" who had been active for two years.
His most recent large-scale overt operation was the annihilation of the Frank Family less than half a month ago.
With everyone on the island wiped out, naturally no information leaked out.
Just a few days later, he encountered the Rocks Pirates.
After a fierce battle, he smoothly joined the Rocks Pirates as an executive.
Then he immediately set sail on missions—all within exactly half a month.
This created an absurd intelligence gap that caught Sengoku and all the Navy forces completely off guard.
For them, this was a major blunder, and the losses would be devastating.
"Hmph, you still have time to think about other things? You're truly seeking death."
Whoosh~
While Star was distracted, Feixue's figure reappeared beside him.
"Wyvern Claw!"
Catching him off guard, she sent him flying heavily once again.
Feixue immediately pressed her advantage without hesitation.
"Armament Haki: Iron Body!"
Star was forced into passive defense.
But the scales of victory had already tilted—his injuries began accumulating rapidly.
Simultaneously, the other Beast Girls were also making significant progress in their respective battlefields.
"Tiger Kill!"
Tiger Girl Yin's sharp claws continuously unleashed waves of air blades, bombarding the Rear Admiral before her without giving him any respite.
"Tempest Kick!"
The Rear Admiral, already covered in wounds, could only defend helplessly, but it was ultimately futile.
The area around them was already littered with corpses—those who had carelessly or foolishly stumbled into their battlefield and been easily eliminated.
Yin grew more ferocious as she fought, crimson steam beginning to emanate from her body, making her appear increasingly savage.
Her attacks grew more violent, overwhelming and relentless in their intensity.
Thump~
Cough, cough~
Soon, the battle reached its conclusion.
Seizing an opportunity in her frenzied state, Yin pressed close with her right claw and unleashed a massive wave of air blades.
These blades broke through the Rear Admiral's defenses, inflicting fatal wounds.
A several dozen-centimeter gash appeared on his chest, revealing still-pulsating organs beneath as blood sprayed out.
After vomiting several mouthfuls of blood, the Rear Admiral collapsed.
The second Rear Admiral of this battle had fallen!
On the same warship, in another corner.
In the span of a few moments, Leopard Girl Xuan's battle was about to conclude.
"Jaguar: Heavy Hammer!"
"Jaguar: Wild Hammer Dance!"
The long Spiked Club in her hands gleamed with a cold light, swung by Leopard Girl with such force that fierce winds howled around it.
Her opponent was a Rear Admiral specializing in physical combat, his fingers extended as he continuously countered.
"Finger Pistol!"
"Iron Body: Finger Pistol!"
Boom~
Boom, boom, boom~
Their clashes repeatedly produced air explosions, causing extensive damage to the warship beneath them.
Deep pits continuously appeared on the deck, the entire warship cracking apart, with some pits already beginning to let seawater seep in.
With seawater flooding in, the warship was at risk of sinking.
"Ha~"
"Jaguar: Wild Dance Hammer!"
Crimson steam emerged similarly as Leopard Girl entered Berserk Mode, and with her stamina fully restored, she utterly overwhelmed the Rear Admiral under her Spiked Club.
"Hmph, trash."
By the time the skill ended, the Rear Admiral had been pummeled beyond recognition, reduced to a lifeless pulp.
The third Rear Admiral on this battlefield was declared dead!
She then looked up and saw that Tiger Girl had already finished her fight, smiling at her.
Xuan snorted coldly—she had been a step slower again.
Ignoring that damned woman Yin, she vented her anger on the other marines.
The warship once again echoed with numerous screams.
