Chapter 51: Seeking Readership! The Fiercest Cat Meets Dragon!
"Black Cat, aren't these Marines a bit strange, meow?"
'Fishing Cat' stood at the stern, watching the Marine Fleet still hanging behind and chasing relentlessly. He asked the Telephone Bug in his hand strangely, because he only had this feeling subconsciously, and he couldn't really explain it specifically.
At this time, he needed 'Three-Legged Cat', who was a little bit smarter than him, to solve his doubts!
"It's cannon fire, meow!"
Sure enough, Black Cat did not disappoint him this time. He saw that the Telephone Bug, whose expression was like their third compatriot brother, looked very serious.
"Those Marines are gradually reducing the frequency of cannon fire, meow!"
'Three-Legged Cat', who was also standing at the stern of the Black Ship, said while thinking about the problem with suspicion, but 'Fishing Cat' on the opposite side showed joy and laughed loudly: "Is it because their cannonballs are running out, meow!"
The former immediately shook his head, denying this possibility.
"This is impossible. Everyone knows that in terms of wealth, the Navy of the South Sea ranks second in the Four Seas. Cannonballs are no different from bullets in our eyes to them, meow."
Just then, as the last roar exploded in the sea water not far away, the whole world suddenly became quiet, and the sound of sea waves hitting the Deck became the main melody again.
"Black Cat, they stopped firing, meow!"
White Cat 'Fishing Cat' shouted in surprise. Because the distance between the two Ships was not far and the cannon fire stopped, Black Cat 'Three-Legged Cat' could faintly hear it even without using the Telephone Bug.
"Strange, too strange. Obviously, we are still a long way from Reverse Mountain, and these Marines still have no intention of catching up, meow."
The latter looked at the surrounding Sea Surface and found that they were once again in a three-sided Surround situation, but those Warships were now just quietly following.
[Sound of footsteps]
Just then, a burst of rapid footsteps approached quickly from behind 'Three-Legged Cat'.
As he turned around to look, he found a Crew Member running up to him with a panicked face, and after opening his arms to the left and right, he shouted loudly: "Captain! Marines have also appeared in front of us! And... and espe, especially, no, super huge—!"
At the same time, the same situation was happening on the White Ship.
The next moment, Black Cat and White Cat transformed into somewhat blurred Afterimages at an extremely astonishing speed, rushing from the stern to the Ship's Bow, and also saw five incredibly terrifying Warships coming head-on.
"Wh-what is that thing, meow?"
White Cat 'Fishing Cat' murmured to himself with his mouth open in disbelief. Because he was a Cat-Cat Fruit Ability User, his Eyesight was very strong, so he could see more clearly than ordinary people.
The Warships in front were visually estimated to be several times larger than the South Sea Warships behind, especially the caliber of the Triple-Mounted Cannon Mounts on them was very frightening.
"If I guess correctly, that should be the legendary Marine Headquarters Warships, meow." 'Three-Legged Cat' replied to the other party with a pale face.
"Marine Headquarters?"
"Yes, I really didn't expect that the Nobles of the South Sea would really have such great ability to actually invite the Navy of the Headquarters to arrest us." 'Three-Legged Cat's' mood was complicated at this time.
He felt both despair and a kind of inexplicable flattered surprise. After all, looking at the entire South Sea Pirate Crews, he had never heard of anyone attracting the attention of Marine Headquarters. From this point of view, they were still quite powerful.
"Eiah, what am I thinking about at this time, meow?!"
On the opposite side, Dragon on the Warship, at this time received the inquiry from the lower-level Marines about whether to fire. His answer was of course no. With the Cannons of these Headquarters-Class Warships, as long as one shot hits, the opponent's Ship would basically have to stop. How could they practice then?
"Rear Admiral Aven, I'll leave this to you. You notify the Warships of the various Branches in the South Sea to go back, and by the way, please thank them and tell them they've worked hard."
"No problem, looking forward to your performance!" Rear Admiral Aven smiled gently.
Performance?
Dragon looked at the other party with doubt, but at this moment, the familiar sound of Cannons actually sounded again, and then two sharp sounds of breaking through the air entered his ears.
The two looked up and saw two red-hot Cannonballs coming at high speed.
"Hey, I really didn't expect that the Pirates of the South Sea would be quite brave, and actually take the initiative to rush towards us!" Rear Admiral Aven raised an Eyebrow and said with some surprise.
At the same time, Dragon transformed into a light green whirlwind and soared into the sky. The turbulent wind force blew Rear Admiral Aven's Justice Coat on his Body with a whooshing sound.
"Is this the Ability of the Logia Type Hurricane Fruit? It's a bit cool~" The latter looked at the flying green whirlwind, and his Eyesight revealed a look of envy.
On the Ship of the Black Cat Pirates, the Telephone Bug in 'Three-Legged Cat's' hand showed a fierce expression.
"Don't care about Headquarters Branches anymore. Since there is no way to retreat, then kill a Route to survive. In the end, the other side is just three Warships. Even if they are larger, at most they are just a few times more numerous. Fight them, meow!"
Hearing 'Fishing Cat's' words, 'Three-Legged Cat' had to admit that in this situation the other party was more courageous than himself, and it was indeed possible.
At this moment, he had completely realized the intention of the South Sea Marine. It was not to force them to approach the Grand Line, but to force them to face this Marine Headquarters Fleet!
"You're right, sometimes you have to risk your Life when you have to. Now is that time, meow!"
After speaking, 'Three-Legged Cat's' Body underwent a drastic change at a speed visible to the naked eye. His body size was rapidly expanding, thick yellowish-white fluff grew from his pores, his ear tips became rounded and blunt, and his pupils turned light green.
This is the Beast-Human Form of the Zoan Cat-Cat Fruit Pallas Cat Form!
Pallas Cat, also known as Pallas's Cat, is recognized as the Cat with the strongest combat power, the fiercest Personality, and living in cold regions. It is said that they have not evolved much in five million years, so they have retained the most primitive form.
"Prepare for battle! Meow—!"
'Three-Legged Cat' shouted loudly at the surrounding Crew Members, and his voice became rougher than before.
"Meow!!!"
Nearly three hundred Crew Members of the Black Cat Pirates and White Cat Pirates roared in unison and made cat calls, both to cheer for the upcoming battle and to express their trust in the Strength of the two Captains.
These are two Devil Fruit Ability Users, what is there to be afraid of?!
But the next moment, some people discovered that the Cannonballs fired by their side actually shot back the way they came in mid-air. The two dark Cannonballs became larger and larger in their Eyesight.
"Careful!!!"
The shrill scream made all the Pirates on the two Ships also notice this.
[Whoosh whoosh]
Fortunately, the Captains they had always believed in did not disappoint.
I saw two Afterimages, one white and one black, leaping over the tall Masts. As sharp cat claws tore through the Air, the two Cannonballs that flew back to their respective sides were instantly cut into three sections, and in the blink of an eye, they swept past the Ships and exploded on the Sea Surface one after another.
"Wow!!"
Such an amazing scene made the Pirates on the two Ships excited immediately. Every time they saw the scene of the two Captains 'tearing apart' Cannonballs with their hands, they had this reaction.
But the faces of 'Three-Legged Cat' and 'Fishing Cat' who fell back on the Deck did not relax at all, but became more vigilant and nervous.
Because they knew very well that Cannonballs could not fly back by themselves. So for such a thing that violated common sense, as Devil Fruit Ability Users, the first thing they could think of was also the Ability of Devil Fruit.
In addition, as Zoan Ability Users, they are more sensitive in terms of Sixth Sense. The unprecedented strong sense of crisis in their hearts is even more hair-raising.
[Whoosh!]
Suddenly, a gust of strong wind rose from the flat ground on the Deck of the Black Ship, blowing more than a dozen Pirates with drastically changed faces high into the air. Then, in the suddenly cleared area, a tall and sturdy Marine Officer appeared in the wind.
