The aftermath of Jack's battle was intense. Although it didn't destroy the entire Fullalead, Ginrummy and Sheepshead on both flanks could sense the commotion from Jack's fight.
As Jack's main battlefield quieted down, their fighting intent became even more intense.
"Captain Jack has already taken care of the enemy! Move faster, don't let Captain look down on us!"
Neither Ginrummy nor Sheepshead ever considered the possibility of Jack being defeated.
The battle time was too short. It was impossible to directly crush Jack in that span of time with the forces on Fullalead. Even if there were Admiral-level fighters on the island, it wouldn't be possible to instantly kill the fully-powered Jack so easily.
So the only possible reason the battle ended was that Jack had won.
The most reckless individual in the Beasts Pirates is Ulti, but the most reckless team is Jack's unit. Since their captain's fight was already over, they also chose to accelerate their own battles.
Just like Jack, Sheepshead also performed a sliding attack, but his method of attack was very different from Jack's. During the slide, Sheepshead's body curled up into a ball.
He turned into a mammoth ball several meters in diameter, with exposed tusks like the blades of a war chariot, rolling forward at high speed and mowing down the pirates in front of him.
Ginrummy's side was relatively more elegant. Her current Human-Beast form was not like Sheepshead's mammoth-human, but more like Maria's, modified through Queen's drug, possessing a unique structure like that of an elephant cavalry.
There was only one reason for doing this: she found the Elephant-Elephant Fruit's Human-Beast form too ugly.
And she wasn't the only one with that opinion. After all, Zoan-type Devil Fruits came in many varieties, and some Human-Beast forms really did look quite bizarre. This was also why Queen had a group of female fans within the Beasts Pirates.
His inventions were quite useful in certain situations.
The pirates of the Beasts Pirates, bolstered by Jack's victory, advanced with unstoppable momentum, beginning to regroup at Jack's position.
But the pirates belonging to Fullalead were in a different situation. They had to think about what to do next.
"Boss Gerst is dead."
"What do we do? Avenge the boss?"
"Avenge? What kind of stupid talk is that? If you want to provoke that monster, go ahead. As for me, I'm getting out of here."
The idea of revenge didn't gain any support. They had only gathered together because of Gerst's threat of force. If it hadn't been for fear of his Dero Dero no Mi powers, they would've fled the moment Jack began his rampage.
But they also weren't Gerst's match either. They had only stayed because they didn't want their bodies destroyed by Gerst's Dero Dero no Mi.
Now that Gerst was dead, there was absolutely no way they'd fight someone even Gerst couldn't beat.
Seeing that Jack didn't intend to attack them, they were already scrambling to escape. Revenge wasn't even an option.
"Shiryu was right. This guy isn't someone we can mess with. There are still plenty of ships over at Rocky Port. Everyone, maybe we'll meet again."
Without Gerst's leadership, these pirates completely fell apart, scattering like sand. Some even set their sights on the treasures Gerst had left behind. It was the wealth he had accumulated over the years, a rare fortune in these seas.
Although besides Gerst, there were still several pirate leaders on the island, those people were also facing serious trouble now.
"Personality-Switching Surgery!"
In the southwest part of Fullalead, Law's ability once again covered a small area, and the pirates within it fell into chaos under his attack.
"Ba*tard! Give me back my body!"
"Don't move! What are you doing to my body?!"
"Don't touch randomly! Take your hand off! He's not your captain, I am your captain!!"
More than a dozen pirates were in chaos, engaging in strange behavior with one another.
"Everyone quiet down! It's that guy's doing! Deal with him first, then talk!"
These people's bodies were not wounded, but their personalities had been swapped. At this moment, their souls had entered other people's bodies.
A person is only truly accustomed to their own body, and this ability can often produce remarkable effects.
A strong person can't bring out their original strength in a weak person's body, and a weak person can't fully use the true power within a strong person's body.
It could be called a great helper in group battles, capable of significantly weakening enemy forces. These pirates weren't strong enough to use Haki to resist the Op-Op Fruit's ability, so under Law's sudden attack, they instantly fell into chaos.
"Gentlemen, how do your new bodies feel? Even if you're not used to them, it can't be helped. This is an operation you can't refuse. ROOM!"
The surgical space expanded. As Law swung the Kikoku in his hand, several cube-shaped hearts appeared in his grasp, which he then tossed into the bag behind him.
Judging by how much the bag was bulging, he had already harvested quite a few pirates' hearts. Some pirates were even being forced by Law to fight on his behalf.
As for joining forces to resist, they had already tried that, but before they could get close to Law, he could crush their hearts.
Even though they had the numbers, Law still had time to destroy part of the hearts.
No one was willing to die for nothing. Nobody wanted to trade their own life for someone else's freedom.
Law was harvesting the pirates of Fullalead. On Jack's side, he was also clearing out pirates in the central area. Drake was coordinating upcoming operations with his team, and the Beasts Pirates' mercenary squad had already reached the place where hostages were held.
"Doskoi Panda, Criminal Brand. That should be the guy. You few, go confirm the secret code with him."
By using the phrase "Handsome Queen," they successfully identified their rescue target. Then they pried open the cell's lock. At first, they didn't understand why the pirates were picking the lock instead of just smashing it, but what followed explained everything.
"Who told you to come out? Get your ass back in there!"
"Aren't you here to rescue people?"
"We're pirate mercenaries. You think this is a charity rescue? Only paying clients get rescued. You're not our employer, so you're not included in the rescue plan. If you want to come out, fine…five million Berries per person.
Just five million, and I'll take all of you out.
Or you can stay here and wait. Maybe someone else will come save you."
The way things developed was always so full of twists and turns. None of the people locked up here had expected the story to take this kind of turn.
"Do we look like we have money? Those Fullalead pirates already looted everything valuable!"
"What does that have to do with me? But let me remind you of one thing: the people of Fullalead are pirates, and we are also pirates. Don't think just because we have our own rules, you can talk to me with that attitude!"
