Chapter 364: Dimensional Strike!

The Thousand Sunny.

While the Straw Hat crew on the deck were still heatedly discussing the joy and shock brought by their skyrocketing bounties, the sea breeze seemed to carry a strange, salty stench.

Usopp, leaning against the ship's railing, had been listlessly scanning the distant horizon.

Suddenly, his movements paused. He rubbed his eyes hard and squinted again, looking carefully at the distant sea surface.

His expression changed slightly as he asked with a hint of confusion:

"Huh? Everyone, look! It looks like a massive fleet is approaching over there."

"Look at that fluttering caramel-colored flag... doesn't it look a bit familiar?"

Hearing Usopp's reminder, Law suddenly turned his head.

When Law's gaze pierced through the thin sea mist and saw the oppressive, massive sails,

and the eerie, malicious grinning skull wearing a hat painted on the sails, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Straw Hat Captain! Crimson Lotus Captain! Everyone, prepare for battle!"

"That's the main fleet of the Big Mom Pirates, one of the Four Emperors!!"

As Law's urgent warning rang out across the deck, the distant mist was forcibly torn open by a gust of wind.

Over a dozen ships with exaggerated designs and massive sizes lined up in a long formation on the sea, aggressively crushing the waves as they approached the Thousand Sunny at full speed.

At the bow of the largest lead ship stood Big Mom's fourth son, Oven, who possessed the Heat-Heat Fruit ability, and her third son, Daifuku, who possessed the Puff-Puff Fruit ability, side by side.

These two high-ranking officers, famous in the New World, now had bloodshot eyes, emitting an undisguised, violent killing intent:

"Straw Hat! You arrogant brutes who don't know the heights of the heavens!"

"Even if you run to the ends of the earth today, don't think you're leaving alive!"

"Hand over your heads obediently to appease the soul of Brother Katakuri in heaven!"

This revenge fleet of the Big Mom Pirates had no intention of wasting words.

With only endless slaughter and destruction in their eyes, they directly entered the highest level of combat readiness.

"Fire! Blast that little wreck of a ship to pieces!"

Accompanied by the commander's order,

countless heavy cannonballs rained down on the solitary Thousand Sunny like a shower of black meteors.

"If you want to touch our ship, you'll have to ask the blades in my hands first!"

Zoro snorted coldly, crossing his hands to draw the famous swords at his waist, his figure flickering on the deck like a ghost.

Exerting force with both arms, he instantly slashed out several sharp, peerless blue flying slashes.

The sword qi crisscrossed, precisely slicing the incoming Haki-infused cannonballs in mid-air, triggering a series of violent explosions.

Meanwhile, Sanji, who was in a state of irritability because of that bounty poster, treated the enemies before him as targets for venting his anger.

He took a sharp drag of his cigarette and charged into the air like a bolt of black lightning.

His right leg ignited with blazing flames, and with kick after kick, he violently exploded several incoming high-explosive incendiary rounds.

However, the enemy's gunfire was far too dense, as if it would never end.

Facing this overwhelming and fierce attack, Tatsuya stepped forward.

He slowly raised one hand, his palm aimed at the sky covered by cannonballs.

A large number of heavy cannonballs carrying destructive power were firmly fixed in mid-air the moment they touched this gravitational field.

Then, Tatsuya's gaze sharpened, and he gave his wrist a light turn.

The frozen cannonballs instantly changed their trajectories and smashed back at several times their original speed.

"Boom! Boom!"

With two earth-shattering roars, the two vanguard ships at the front of the Big Mom fleet didn't even have time to make any evasive maneuvers before they were instantly blown apart by their own shells, turning into two massive fireballs on the sea surface with debris flying everywhere.

Although the counterattack from Tatsuya and the three main combatants temporarily blocked this wave of deadly assault, Law was still extremely anxious:

"We can't get bogged down here! The enemy has too many troops!"

"Once Big Mom's main fleet or even she herself arrives, we're finished!"

"Franky-ya, is the Coup de Burst still usable?!"

"We need to evacuate this sea area immediately!"

Franky turned his head and rushed toward the engine room at the bottom of the hull, teeth clenched, shouting back:

"Dammit! The continuous acceleration just now consumed too much energy. Refilling the cola will take a bit more time!"

"Everyone, hold on! Give me two minutes!"

Meanwhile, on the enemy's lead ship in the distance,

seeing that they had lost two warships, Oven and Daifuku were not only unfazed but were sneering repeatedly.

In their eyes, this tiny pirate ship was nothing more than a turtle in a jar.

The two shouted to the subordinates behind them:

"Brothers, our luck is good! We actually encountered them before the other fleets!"

"Eliminate them and avenge Brother Katakuri! Mama will surely reward us handsomely!"

"Oh!! For Mama! Kill Straw Hat!"

The pirates excitedly raised their weapons and cheered, as if victory was already within their grasp.

However, just as the officers and crew of the Big Mom Pirates were cheering and preparing to launch a second, even more intense round of shelling,

a sudden change occurred.

The originally turbulent sea surface suddenly fell into a dead silence.

The sea breeze stopped, and even the sound of waves hitting the hull seemed to be erased by some invisible force.

Immediately afterward, the entire ocean began to churn violently, as if it were being boiled on a volcano.

Bubbles as large as houses began to surface, and as they burst, they emitted an ancient scent from the deep sea.

Accompanied by terrifying screeches that could shatter an ordinary person's eardrums and strike the depths of their soul,

"Rumble—! Rumble—!"

After several earth-shattering roars, the sea surface instantly exploded, and water columns shot straight into the sky!

Five or six super-sized ancient Sea Kings, with bodies too massive to describe, tore through the seawater and surged out from the dark, lightless depths of the ocean!

Their bodies were like several continuous ranges of living mountains.

Those pairs of beastly eyes, as large as the sun and moon, emitted a cold, fierce light, standing directly between the Thousand Sunny and the Big Mom fleet!

Seeing these deep-sea behemoths suddenly burst from the sea, the brains of the Big Mom Pirates' officers and crew instantly short-circuited.

"What's going on?!"

"How could ancient Sea Kings that live in the Calm Belt suddenly appear in this sea area in groups?!"

Then, when the terrifying shadows of the Sea Kings completely enveloped their fleet,

this confusion transformed into insurmountable terror within a ten-thousandth of a second.

Big Mom's fleet attempted to turn their cannons to launch a counterattack against the giant beasts blocking their path.

But the movements of these deep-sea behemoths were exceptionally violent, giving them no room to breathe.

One of the Sea Kings with a sharp dorsal fin simply swung its mountain-sized tail, whipping up a terrifying hurricane.

With a dull "thud," the giant tail acted like a flyswatter, instantly smashing several sturdy warships on the flank to pieces, with wood chips and steel flying everywhere.

On the flagship, those arrogant Devil Fruit users attempted to use various flashy abilities to fight back.

But in the face of the towering waves that these ancient Sea Kings could whip up just by using their massive bodies,

all their abilities seemed pale and powerless.

The violent waves smashed the decks, and those with abilities fell like birds with broken wings, ruthlessly swept into the churning seawater.

The moment they touched the seawater, they lost all ability to resist.

Their bodies went limp, and they could only sink straight toward the cold, dark seabed with eyes full of despair.

As for the ordinary pirate crew members on the ships, they were like insignificant ants before these giant beasts, with no chance of escape.

This aggressive and heavily armed fleet of a Four Emperor, which usually could sweep through most forces in the New World, was destroyed in an instant before this natural disaster that exceeded human understanding.

Most of the warship wreckage, along with the desperately screaming pirates, followed the giant waves directly into the abyss-like maws of these super-sized Sea Kings.

Watching this visually impactful and shocking scene,

on the Thousand Sunny anchored in the distance, the eyes of the entire Straw Hat crew were nearly popping out.

"This... what is going on?!"

"So scary... in an instant, a Four Emperor's fleet was..."

Nami, recovering from her massive shock, watched the terrifying beasts still thrashing in the sea and stepped back repeatedly.

"Franky! Is it ready yet?!"

"Run while we can! Otherwise, it'll be our turn for a one-day tour inside their bellies!"

While everyone was in a panic, only Tatsuya stood quietly at the very front of the deck.

He gently touched the special conch shell kept close to his chest, and a complex smile filled with deep shock slowly curled at the corners of his mouth.

He knew this wasn't some natural phenomenon.

Looking at the main fleet of a Four Emperor that had been annihilated in an instant without even a chance to resist,

at this moment, Tatsuya truly felt the world-destroying terror of one of the three legendary Ancient Weapons, "Poseidon," the Sea King.

This wasn't a battle on the same level at all.

This was a completely one-sided, irrational "dimensional strike."

No matter how strong your Haki or how strange your Fruit ability, before the god who can control all the Sea Kings in the world, you are but a drop in the ocean.

Just then, in a patch of calm and safe sea that the Sea Kings seemed to have intentionally left open,

Franky, below in the cabin, finally wiped away a handful of sweat and finished the final cola refill.

He rushed to the stern and let out a loud roar to the sky:

"SUPER! Energy full! Coup de Burst ready! Everyone, hold on tight!"

"Boom—!"

Accompanied by a massive blast of air violently ejecting from the stern, the Thousand Sunny shot off the sea surface like an arrow from a bow and soared into the sky.
