Sea water does not explode and shoot high into the air without reason.
This was, of course, the work of Super-Class Sea Kings!
These massive beasts that dwell in the deep ocean possess a terrifying size that defies imagination.
Perhaps because they live in the boundless depths of the sea, they believe their bodies can grow indefinitely?
In any case, regular Sea Kings are already colossal, terrifying monsters.
But Super-Class Sea Kings are even larger and more powerful than standard Sea Kings!
Now, triggered by a submarine volcanic eruption, the Super-Class Sea Kings dwelling near the Calm Belt had risen up in a massive frenzy.
And the only ship in the vicinity — the pirates' vessel belonging to El and his crew — naturally became their target.
"Captain! Leave this to us!"
By this time, Crocodile and Doflamingo were already prepared to step forward.
To be honest, with their level of strength, dealing with these Super-Class Sea Kings wasn't exactly an impossible task.
However, even if the two of them joined forces, it wouldn't be easy to repel so many of these massive creatures attacking all at once!
If it were just the two of them out at sea, they would have already acted without hesitation.
But right now, El was standing right there!
"Hold your ground!"
El raised a hand to stop Crocodile and Doflamingo as they were about to charge into battle.
"You two stay here and watch the ship. Protect the crew."
El had brought quite a few people with him on this voyage.
Although it was planned that only El himself would be going up to Amazon Lily, he certainly didn't want anything bad happening to the rest of his crew.
"But…"
Faced with this sudden crisis, officers like Crocodile and Doflamingo felt they should be the ones leading the defense.
How could they let their Captain fight on the front lines alone?
"Hmph…"
El glanced at his two subordinates.
"With your strength, I have no doubt you could keep this ship safe amidst this frenzy. But… could you guarantee that not a single person gets hurt?"
"That…"
Crocodile and Doflamingo exchanged a look.
The truth was…
They simply didn't have that kind of confidence.
Dealing with one or two Super-Class Sea Kings was manageable… but there were simply too many right now!
Even with their combined power, there would inevitably be gaps in their defense.
If the ship or the Captain were to be harmed because they missed something, the consequences would be disastrous!
"Hahaha… That is exactly why I said I must handle this myself."
"You two just stay back and cover whatever I miss. Don't let these beasts damage my ship!"
This is exactly the danger of the Calm Belt.
Even sailing near its borders, it is almost impossible to avoid the threats lurking there.
Even someone as powerful as El had to treat this place with extreme caution. One could only imagine the level of danger involved.
To be honest, if the Amazon Lily islanders were desperate enough, they could find ways to agitate and draw out the Super-Class Sea Kings that live in these waters.
If they did that, even the mightiest forces of Marine Headquarters — who are capable of navigating the Calm Belt — would likely hesitate to provoke such an island.
However, this method would undoubtedly result in mutual destruction.
After all, Super-Class Sea Kings are creatures that almost no one can control.
If Amazon Lily were to enrage these deep-sea monsters, it is highly likely that the island itself would be caught in the chaos and suffer the consequences.
It was a last resort, a trump card only to be used if the Kuja Pirates lost their status as Warlords of the Sea and became the primary target of the World Government and the Marines.
But all of that was in the past now.
Now, the Kuja Pirates had the El Pirates as their powerful backer. Naturally, they no longer needed to consider such risky tactics.
More importantly, the Super-Class Sea Kings that every sailor in the world feared as unstoppable disasters…
Right now, in front of El… were nothing more than ordinary beasts!
Even Doflamingo and Crocodile — two of the most powerful pirates in the world — watched their Captain's bold and magnificent actions with hearts filled with genuine admiration.
This… was absolute, pure power.
"This… does it really have to be this excessive…?"
Doflamingo forced a stiff smile onto his face.
He knew his Captain was incredibly strong.
But… was he this strong?!
Standing beside him, Crocodile remained completely silent.
It was obvious that even he was stunned.
For Logia Devil Fruit users like himself…
They always held a massive advantage in large-scale battles or when fighting opponents of immense size.
Yet, even in the eyes of this powerful Logia user, what El was doing right now was terrifying beyond imagination.
El had unleashed almost the full extent of the Tailed Beast power flowing within him.
Combined with his Sage Body…
Not only did his destructive power rise instantly to its absolute peak, but in battle, El felt almost no fatigue or exhaustion at all!
Possessing a constitution perfectly suited for combat — superior even to Logia or Zoan type Devil Fruit users —
And supplemented by his mastery of Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, ordinary masters and strong fighters couldn't even stand upright in his presence!
Even these Super-Class Sea Kings were nothing more than intimidating targets with no real substance!
"They are nothing but… wild beasts!"
El's strength was overwhelming, and his stamina was practically limitless.
Even if he simply competed with these monsters in a contest of raw strength, the outcome was far from certain.
Furthermore, with his Sage Body combined with the coating of Armament Haki, the collisions, bites, and attacks of these Super-Class Sea Kings felt like nothing more than a gentle massage — they didn't hurt him at all!
BOOM!
El leaped high into the air and smashed his fist down hard onto the body of one of the Super-Class Sea Kings.
These beasts were truly enormous; El didn't even know exactly which part of the creature he had hit…
But the massive force, transformed and channeled perfectly, traveled instantly through the creature's entire body!
El wasn't just punching a single point. He wasn't simply punching a hole through the beast…
He was directly infusing his overwhelming power into the entire body of the beast!
Even including the massive portion of its body still submerged deep beneath the sea!
ROAR!!
That Super-Class Sea King was actually blasted completely out of the water, its entire body lifted and thrown by the sheer impact of El's strength!
Absolute Domination!
The force of El's blow landing on this Super-Class Sea King was no different from an adult punching a tiny fish fry!
"Trash!"
Using the momentum from that punch, El shifted his body sideways in mid-air,
Easily dodging the snapping jaws and attack of another approaching Super-Class Sea King.
"Nothing but beasts with slightly bigger bodies…"
"If sheer size was proof of true strength, that would be the biggest joke in the world!"
"Meteorite Impact!"
El waved his hand casually!
Above the head of the Sea King that had just tried to attack him, the sky seemed to darken and the air pressure shifted violently!
WHOOSH!
A gale swept across the ocean! A massive shadow appeared in the sky, instantly blocking out the sunlight!
WHOOSH… RUMBLE…
It was a Meteorite!
A meteorite of unimaginable size!
These Super-Class Sea Kings were already huge, seemingly reaching the very limit of what size could be.
Yet, in front of this massive rock falling from the heavens, they suddenly looked tiny and insignificant!
ROAR!
That Super-Class Sea King finally realized it was in grave danger.
