Alabasta Kingdom.
Nanohana, this is a port in the Alabasta Kingdom.
At this moment, a ship landed at the port, and a group of people disembarked.
And this group of people was none other than Shokku no Dōru, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Shokku no Dōru looked at the crowded port, with countless pirates and merchant ships constantly sailing, a cruel smile appeared on his lips.
But soon, he quickly withdrew it.
Not long ago, he received news that the ancient weapon "Pluton" was buried in the Alabasta Kingdom.
The ancient weapon Pluton was a terrifying warship capable of destroying an island with a single cannonball.
Therefore, after learning of Pluton's terror, Shokku no Dōru eagerly came to the Alabasta Kingdom.
"Operation Utopia has begun."
The subordinates subdued by Shokku no Dōru, listening to his words, revealed cold smiles on their faces before leaving and disappearing into the crowd shortly after.
Shokku no Dōru smiled and then also left.
Although the title of Seven Warlord of the Sea was glorious, everything still depended on strength.
The ancient weapon Pluton was the first step in his rise.
...
Compared to Shokku no Dōru's preparation for Operation Utopia, on the other side, the Ward Pirates were in the South Blue, engaging in a fierce battle with the fleet led by Wang Zhi and Gin no Ono.
"Hahaha, I am Bondiwaldo, known as the 'World Destroyer'."
"To defeat me, you underestimate me too much."
"Wang Zhi!"
Bondiwaldo, who possessed the Momu Momu no Mi, was extremely powerful.
Although not a Marine, he had mastered the Six Powers.
Furthermore, he had mastered Armament Haki, reaching Level 5, allowing him to coat his entire body.
His strength was that of a formidable figure from the same era as Roger and Whitebeard, and he was someone feared by the World Government and the Marines.
To this day, his opponents included Sengoku, Garp, Z, Roger, and Whitebeard.
Such a person should not have become a Seven Warlord of the Sea.
To put it bluntly, in terms of personal strength, he could contend for a Yonko position.
However, he was still somewhat short of a Yonko, thus he could only be considered an Executive-level fighter.
Due to the existence of the Xuanwu Navy, and the threats posed by the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates, they had to bring the Ward Pirates into their faction first.
In fact, after that war, Sengoku, Kuzan, and others not only wanted to capture the Great Tengu Seifū but also to capture Bondiwaldo at that time.
Unfortunately, those who made a great name for themselves on the sea would not be fools.
Therefore, they had all left ahead of time.
Wang Zhi, with a headache, slashed out with his sword, and a massive sword aura flew out, instantly slicing a mountain-like cannonball in half.
Boom!
After the explosion, a massive roar kicked up huge waves that surged into the sky and then crashed down everywhere.
The warships of the Xuanwu Navy became extremely unstable under the impact of these waves.
The fierce battle also shifted at this moment.
Bondiwaldo, using the power of the Momu Momu no Mi, amplified his pirate ship a hundredfold, making it incredibly massive, like a giant aircraft carrier, as it sailed through the vast ocean.
And the course of this giant aircraft carrier was in stark contrast to the Xuanwu Navy warships, which were like tiny boats on the vast sea.
Wang Zhi and Gin no Ono, witnessing this scene, were filled with dread.
"Retreat!"
"Maximize the engines and get away from here."
The massive pirate ship charged forward on the vast ocean, and Wang Zhi and the others could only shout for all warships to retreat.
"Hahaha!"
"Trying to escape from here?"
"That's impossible!"
"Today, I will send this Xuanwu Navy fleet to its doom in the South Blue!"
"The South Blue will also be the dominion of the Ward Pirates."
Bondiwaldo stood atop three greatly enlarged cannon turrets, laughing heartily in the face of the strong wind.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The cannons, positioned high above, relentlessly unleashed fierce cannon fire towards the struggling warships on the sea.
Wang Zhi, seeing this, his expression became extremely grim.
But within his capabilities, Wang Zhi also retaliated with his sword, unleashing fierce cutting techniques against the continuously descending cannonballs.
However, this was merely a drop in the bucket.
It was too difficult for the Xuanwu Navy to face this colossus.
The navigator altered the course, struggling constantly on the vast ocean, trying to escape the charge and cannon fire of the giant pirate ship.
Yet, even so, facing the falling speed of the giant pirate ship, the cannonballs hitting the warships, or the massive waves created by explosions near the warships, the Xuanwu Navy warships were unable to retaliate.
Amidst the roars and screams, the Xuanwu Navy warships and soldiers were being destroyed, either killed by cannonballs or drowned by the sea.
"Damn you, Valdo."
"The justice of the Xuanwu Navy will surely fall upon you sooner or later."
Due to the distance and the violently shaking warships, he had the will but not the power, and could only watch helplessly as warships were destroyed and soldiers fell.
"Hahaha, you won't see that day, Wang Zhi!"
Bondiwaldo knew of Wang Zhi, but that was when he was with the Rocks Pirates.
Without the Rocks Pirates, Wang Zhi, despite his current strength, was no match for him.
The enlarged Ward Pirate ship charged down, and the warships where Wang Zhi and Gin no Ono were located were within the range of the collision.
Boom!
The enlarged Ward Pirate ship descended, crushing all the warships below, simultaneously creating massive ocean waves that surged outwards in all directions.
Some Xuanwu Navy warships that had just escaped the impact were caught by the surging waves and were flung away.
At the same time, the Ward Pirate ship began to shake violently.
On the Ward Pirate ship, Bondiwaldo, looking at the fleet of fifteen warships led by Wang Zhi being completely annihilated by him, roared with excitement.
"Who am I?" Bondiwaldo raised both hands, clenched his fists, and roared towards the sky.
"World Destroyer!" The members of the Ward Pirates, hearing their captain's cry, shouted in unison with perfect coordination.
The rolling waves, due to the fierce battle, continued to surge outwards, submerging many islands in their path.
The warships engaged in battle, and the fallen soldiers of the Xuanwu Navy, their bodies could still be seen floating on the sea.
And this scene was also rapidly transmitted by hidden intelligence personnel.
Thus, a news report of Bondiwaldo standing on his enlarged pirate ship, destroying Xuanwu Navy warships, quickly spread across the seas.
Upon receiving the news, various forces were thrown into an uproar.
The losses incurred this time were undoubtedly the greatest since the establishment of the Xuanwu Navy.
For this reason, many factions secretly rejoiced, while at the same time, they were curious about what reaction the Xuanwu Navy Marshal Benedict would make next.
