----------
Under the Allosaurus's destruction and the bombardment of cannonballs, the tavern was completely reduced to ruins, with most of its ceiling blown off.
"Kujaku!"
Soon, the Allosaurus spotted the Kujaku that Daichi was carrying, and the numerous wounds on her body instantly made its eyes bloodshot. It opened its gaping maw and charged madly at Daichi.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
"So noisy."
Daichi stood by the bar, his cold gaze fixed on the charging Allosaurus. He made no move to counterattack, merely speaking indifferently.
"Page One."
"Roar!"
Just as the Allosaurus was about to bite Daichi, another, even larger Spinosaurus suddenly burst out from the side, biting the Allosaurus's neck!
The Spinosaurus's sharp teeth, like blades, pierced through the Allosaurus's tough skin, and crimson blood splattered.
Tobi Roppo, Page One!
"Roar! Roar! Roar!!!"
The Allosaurus cried out in pain, and its massive body was violently pushed dozens of meters by the Spinosaurus, collapsing several houses consecutively.
"Rumble!!!"
A large amount of smoke and dust filled the air.
"Captain Drake!"
The other Marines were greatly alarmed at the sight.
They were already outnumbered, and if not for Rear Admiral Grus's clay golems drawing fire, they would have suffered heavy casualties long ago.
If Captain Drake was defeated, they would all be finished.
They wanted to provide support, but their path was blocked.
"You guys don't have the energy to care about others!"
Ulti blocked the Marines' path, her irritable gaze quickly locking onto Grus. She leaned forward, her legs bent and gathering strength.
"You're that ability user who controls dolls, aren't you? Stay right there, I'm going to smash your head in!"
"Beast Pirates Tobi Roppo Ulti!"
Grus's expression changed drastically. The Marines' intelligence contained information about Ulti; she was a very formidable genius girl!
It's coming!
Observation Haki had already captured her next move!
But, so fast!
"Clay Wall!"
Grus waved his hand, creating a clay wall in front of him.
Almost simultaneously, Ulti's body pierced into the clay wall like a javelin, her sharp horn stretching the clay to its limit as she rapidly approached Grus's head.
Ulti's Charge!
"Ha~ Ha~~"
Grus gasped in horror. If he had been a step slower, his body would have been impaled by her horns.
"Sizzle~~"
On the rubber-like stretched clay surface, a Haki flow appeared!
Grus's pupils contracted.
"This kind of thing!"
Ulti's eyes widened, and a "clang" sound echoed as her horns coated with Haki, their tips instantly tearing through the clay!
"Puff!"
The horn pierced into Grus's chest, and blood splattered out!
"Rear Admiral Grus!"
Watching Rear Admiral Grus spit blood and be sent flying by Ulti, the SWORD members' faces turned pale.
Rear Admiral Drake, Rear Admiral Kujaku, and Rear Admiral Grus, the three leaders of this operation, had all suffered severe injuries.
Hachinosu's terror far exceeded their expectations.
"Damn it, retreat first!"
The remaining officers shouted.
If they didn't leave now, they would surely be annihilated.
Their most important task now was to bring the news back and request Admiral Kizaru to rescue Captain Drake and the others.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"
After firing another round of rockets, the Marines fled in a panic.
The disheveled captains were enraged and chased after them with their swords drawn: "Damn Marines, do you think you can escape!"
"Kill the Marines!"
"Chase them, don't let the Marines escape!"
By the tavern bar.
Speed led a group of Beast Pirates and gathered around Daichi.
"Daichi, should we pursue?"
"No need."
Daichi waved his hand casually.
Having the captains pursue was enough. If all the small fry were wiped out, who would bring him information?
He had already obtained his target, especially the perverse woman he was carrying on his shoulder. The other Marines held little value to him.
The real big fish were yet to come.
For now, he would just observe the battle.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
In the distance, two massive dinosaurs were madly tearing at each other, their fighting styles almost identical.
On the other side, Ulti was continuously beating the clay Marines. Compared to the stalemate on her brother's side, Ulti held an absolute advantage, and victory was only a matter of time.
Daichi watched Ulti for a while, then shifted his gaze to the battle between the two dinosaurs; this battle was more visually appealing.
Two dinosaurs fighting!
"Drake, huh."
Daichi stroked his chin.
If Drake stood in front of him, he might not even recognize him, but in his memory, there was only one Marine officer who could transform into a dinosaur.
Red Flag Drake.
One of the "Worst Generation," who would join the Beast Pirates after entering the New World and be promoted to the Tobi Roppo.
However, he was an undercover agent.
The dinosaur battle didn't last too long. The Spinosaurus was nearly twice the size of the Allosaurus, almost completely suppressing it.
But when the Allosaurus shrunk its body and transformed into its most combat-effective Human-Beast Form, the Spinosaurus's strength advantage disappeared, and its massive size became a target.
The tide of battle quickly reversed.
Page One was only 16 years old, and neither her Haki nor her martial arts skills could compare to Drake, who was an elite Marine.
"X-Hunting Ground!"
Drake leaped into the air, swinging his axe and sword in a cross, forming an X-shaped slash that heavily struck the Spinosaurus's head.
"Boom!"
Rolling smoke and dust swept across the land!
When the smoke and dust dispersed, Drake stood in front of Page One, covered in blood, his sword pressed against Page One's throat.
The outcome was decided.
"Pay-Pay!"
On the other side, Ulti had also easily dealt with her opponent. When she discovered that Pay-Pay had been defeated, her emotions instantly ignited, and she immediately transformed.
Pachycephalosaurus Human-Beast Form.
Ulti furiously charged at Drake: "You bastard, how dare you hurt Pay-Pay! I'll never forgive you!"
"Puff!"
A trickle of blood flowed from Page One's neck!
"Pay-Pay!"
Ulti stopped her charge in fright.
"Big sis, don't worry about me."
Page One's face was grim, showing no concern for his own safety.
"Kill him!"
"Pay-Pay!"
Ulti was furious and anxious, looking at Daichi for help.
"Don't be impatient, Ulti."
Daichi calmly walked towards Drake.
Drake's face was gloomy, and he tightly gripped his sword: "Release Kujaku and Grus, and in exchange, I will spare him."
"You want to negotiate with pirates?"
Daichi grinned, pulled a sharp dagger from his embrace, and plunged it into Kujaku's thigh without hesitation!
"Ugh!"
Kujaku let out a painful groan, her weak body unable to even struggle, only able to endure the piercing pain.
Blood flowed down the blade.
Drake's pupils trembled.
Daichi pulled out the blood-stained dagger, his cold gaze fixed on Drake, commanding without question: "You can't escape. Immediately put down your weapon and surrender. Don't make me say it a second time."
"..."
Drake's face turned pale.
He could clearly feel that if he didn't obey the other party's command, Kujaku would be killed in the next moment.
He had no bargaining chips at all!
At this moment, he could only place his hope of survival on his fleeing subordinates.
"Clang!"
The sword and axe fell to the ground.
