"Brian, you bastard, why haven't you made your move yet? Are you waiting to fall asleep?"
The pirate side still had one heavyweight nuclear weapon that hadn't yet entered the fray.
The famous Beast Brian had been standing on the ship's bow from the start of the battle until now, observing the enemy situation.
He even used his Observation Haki to continuously monitor the surrounding auras, just in case.
He had earlier detected the leaking auras of the two Admirals and immediately synchronized this information with Whitebeard.
This was to avoid being caught off guard and restrained if they suddenly encountered the enemy.
Hearing Shiki's furious roar, Brian shook his head somewhat helplessly.
He turned to the Griffin Girl beside him and said.
"Griffin, you and Feixue keep a close watch on the Navy's movements, especially those CP0 agents protecting the Celestial Dragon on their ship."
"If they make any move at all, strike directly and show no mercy."
"Don't worry about me. Just focus on protecting yourselves."
"Even if it's a Celestial Dragon, anyone who stands in our way is an enemy you can attack."
"Understood, Master. Please don't worry."
"Feixue and I will keep a close watch. Please be careful in your battle too."
Griffin nodded, her gaze fixed on several figures on a warship at the rear of the Naval fleet.
Beside her, Feixue similarly indicated her understanding.
Brian wouldn't completely ignore these powerful agents from the World Government's CP0 organization.
Even though the three of them were currently tightly protecting the Celestial Dragon with no apparent intention of joining the fight.
The Navy had already deployed all their forces thus far, and the outcome of the subsequent battle would depend on their four senior executives.
Whoosh~
After assigning the tasks, Brian's figure vanished from the pirate ship.
When he reappeared, he was already in the air beside Shiki and the other two.
"Shiki, you're not cutting it. Did you go soft just because two old men joined the other side?"
"You should really work on building up your strength when we get back. Don't tell me you wrecked your body from playing too hard these past few days."
"Gurararara, the kid's got a point. It does seem to me that Shiki here has gone soft."
"Tsk tsk, you two really went overboard those past few days."
"Ah, you young folks sure know how to have fun."
Brian opened with a series of critical hits.
Every word struck precisely at Shiki's kidneys.
Then Whitebeard quickly piled on, leaving Shiki feeling utterly defeated.
"What nonsense are you two talking about?"
"My body is in prime condition! How could I possibly be soft?"
As a man, you could say he was lacking in many areas, but you absolutely couldn't question his kidney function.
Even pirates felt this way.
Especially since Shiki was actually feeling somewhat drained at the moment.
But he was only twenty years old, still in his prime.
There were still vast forests waiting for the great Shiki in the future.
How could he let himself be taken down by just one tree like Charlotte Linlin?
As Brian and the others had said, that week he spent with Charlotte Linlin really had been too excessive.
Compared to Linlin's several times larger physique, his small frame was quite the contrast.
The fact that Shiki could still jump around and fight against powerful opponents at this point was already impressive enough.
Now, having been stabbed by both of them, it would be strange if he didn't explode.
Lies don't hurt people, but the truth is a sharp blade.
Shiki, well, he was broken.
Even his continuously outputted Conqueror's Haki became slightly unstable, and the already disadvantaged confrontation was pushed back further.
In an instant, the pressure on Whitebeard and Charlotte Linlin doubled once again.
At this point, even Linlin couldn't sit still anymore.
"Mamamamama, Shiki, you're really weak."
"Can you even handle this, you bastard? Just this level, and you're already showing instability."
"So young, yet so useless."
"Tsk~"
Linlin was also dissatisfied with Shiki's performance that week.
It was completely unsatisfying, truly not as good as Kaido.
Though she didn't say it outright, the meaning in her eyes was clear.
During that week, Linlin had nearly drained Shiki dry.
But with his small frame, no matter how much she drained him, that was all he had.
In this regard, he really wasn't as good as Kaido.
Kaido was still young now, with that robust build and tall stature.
He was a perfect match for Charlotte Linlin, and his strength was no less.
Otherwise, Linlin wouldn't have treated him so well.
In the original story, she even gave him the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, the Fish-Fish Fruit.
The two of them were truly meant for each other.
Shiki could only be considered one of Charlotte Linlin's passing flings, merely a medium for bearing children.
Thanks to Charlotte Linlin herself joining in, Shiki's already broken heart completely shattered.
"Ahhh, you three bastards, I'm going to kill you!"
Boom~
Feeling utterly humiliated, Shiki suddenly entered Berserk Mode, his aura surging violently.
Conqueror's Haki surged out, and the number of red lightning bolts increased dramatically.
The previously losing situation was instantly held back by him, stopping the continued decline.
Shiki was really not stable enough.
But then again, he was only in his early twenties now.
Though not a virgin, in front of the battle-hardened Linlin, he wasn't much better than one.
If you thought about it, could Charlotte Linlin be considered a succubus?
Watching the battlefield situation become increasingly absurd, with pushes back and forth, Brian felt somewhat numb.
The pirate world had so many weirdos, and Shiki was so easily provoked when he was young.
Unable to bear it, Brian had no choice but to employ the topic diversion tactic.
"This transaction with the Celestial Dragons is already completed, since we've obtained the supplies."
"But if we just return like this, I believe none of us would be willing, right?"
Seeing all three of them nod in agreement, Brian continued.
"Since two of the Navy's three Admirals have come this time, and all three of the new generation giants have mobilized."
"If they suffer any losses now, the Navy's morale will surely plummet, and our future activities in the New World will become easier."
"With Morgans around, we don't have to worry about the news not spreading worldwide."
"Gurararara, Brian does have a point. If we can really pull this off, it would be good for everyone."
Whitebeard nodded; it was indeed true.
If the Navy suffered another major loss here,
Coupled with the previous one, two significant losses in the New World would inevitably affect the Navy's future layout in the region.
Then any of their future activities in the New World would become much easier.
Such as plundering the Celestial Tribute and clearing out World Government affiliate nations.
Brian even had some personal considerations.
Only he knew that in less than a year, Rocks would ignite the God Valley War that would change the world.
Once the Navy lost its original control over the New World,
His own activities in the New World would also become much smoother.
This would help him accumulate sufficient strength and make more preparations in advance for the God Valley War.
"Mamamama, I agree, let's kill those two old guys first. After all, they're Admirals."
"Zeha ha ha, fine, I've also been looking at those two old guys with displeasure."
"Agreed, then let's focus on killing those two old guys first. If conditions permit, we'll take out the others too."
"Alright~"
In just a few words, the four of them directly determined their next action targets.
The two Admirals suddenly felt a chill run down their spines, as if they were being targeted by something.
