Chapter 289: The Appearance of Three Four Emperors

Momousagi looked up at Shirahoshi and Hancock, a trace of a smile appearing at the corners of her mouth:

"Then let's start the battle now! Shall we have a competition? You two!"

Shirahoshi remained as shy as ever, her hands clasped tightly: "Um... a battle competition? Isn't that a bit... not good?"

"I will compete with you!"

Compared to Shirahoshi, Hancock agreed immediately, the Pirate Empress's face full of arrogance:

"Everyone take their own subordinates and let's see who can eliminate the most enemies! But what is the bet?"

"Hmm..." Momousagi glanced at Uchiha Feiyu and thought for a moment: "How about this, if you lose, you must serve Lord Feiyu next month; the loser must do the support work."

Uchiha Feiyu's harem was so large now that he basically lived the life of an adult anime every night; support work wasn't just about pushing hips—with a group of women together, the games they played were quite wild.

"Very well, I accept your challenge!"

Hancock nodded impatiently and agreed.

The three women were similar in strength, and the power of their subordinates wasn't much different either, which was exactly why the result of the competition was worth watching.

As for subordinates, Shirahoshi had thousands of Merfolk warriors under her; even though most remained at Dragon Palace, there were still over 300 Merfolk on the giant Sea King currently, which could be considered an overwhelming victory.

Next was Momousagi. This time, after being promoted to Admiral, she had brought over 100 beautiful female Marines on her ship, double the number from before, and they had all been strengthened by Uchiha Feiyu.

Compared to the Merfolk, these female Marines already had some foundation, so while their numbers were smaller, their quality was higher.

Hancock had the fewest subordinates, only about fifty or sixty, but these women were the cream of the crop selected from the Amazon warriors of Amazon Lily. They were already proficient in Two-Color Haki, and after being strengthened by Uchiha Feiyu, their individual strength was far greater than that of the female Marines.

Among the Marines, strong women were a minority, and when you added the requirement of being beautiful, the number became even scarcer. While Amazon Lily lacked certain top-tier combat power, in terms of average strength, the elites among those Nine Snake Island warriors definitely possessed the strength of Marine Commandants.

So among the three, the stronger the subordinates were, the fewer there were; in a way, this could be considered a form of fairness.

"It's a deal! I'm heading out first!"

Momousagi, the Marine Admiral, had been prepared for a long time. With a long whistle, she transformed into a pink Shenron form. Her dragon tail coiled, and a large amount of Flame Cloud flew out, wrapping directly around the Marine warship as she flew into the sky and charged toward the Pirates opposite.

"Damn it, to think she dared to jump the gun!"

Hancock was furious, but there was nothing she could do. She could only rush out of the palace, take her subordinates, and steer her pirate ship toward Wano Country.

Shirahoshi, who was left behind, sighed softly: "Really... these two, did they forget my ability? I don't even have the heart to bully them."

As she spoke, Shirahoshi walked slowly out of the palace and arrived at the edge of the giant Sea King. Without any visible movement from her, the entire ocean instantly began to boil.

Sea Kings of all sizes, from several hundred to over a thousand meters, appeared on the surface of the sea. Scattered across those Sea Kings were over 200 Merfolk, who charged toward the Pirates below Wano Country at super speed.

Shirahoshi was, after all, Poseidon! A truly invincible existence in naval warfare. Never mind the group of Pirates before them; even if all the warships of the World Government and the Marines were brought over, she could destroy them all in an instant.

She couldn't even fathom how Momousagi and Hancock had the guts to propose such a competition on the open sea!

Having sailed her ship less than a few hundred meters, Hancock saw the ocean boiling and the countless Sea Kings gathering under Shirahoshi's command, and she was instantly stunned.

"Damn it! This is cheating, this is pure cheating!"

However, in Shirahoshi's eyes, Hancock's shouting was nothing more than the wailing of a loser. Waving her hand casually, Shirahoshi giggled: "This competition was proposed by you all; I didn't say anything!"

"Besides, Hancock and Momousagi, you are both Devil Fruit users. Since you can use your Devil Fruit Abilities, isn't it only natural for me to use my own Poseidon ability?"

As she spoke, the Sea King beneath Shirahoshi accelerated, leaving Hancock's pirate ship far behind.

Hancock gritted her teeth, her eyes red with anger, and suddenly snorted: "Fine, fine, fine, so you're playing mind games with me! Flying, controlling Sea Kings... don't think you've won yet, I have my own ultimate move!"

As soon as she finished speaking, two white rings of light appeared on Hancock's fists. The rings expanded continuously, directly enveloping Hancock's upper body. Then, Hancock clenched her fists and swung them left and right, as if smashing against an invisible wall.

"Sea Quake!!!"

A violent, piercing sound suddenly erupted in the void, like glass shattering—only it wasn't glass that shattered, but the surrounding atmosphere.

A subtle tremor came from beneath her feet, quickly expanding until the entire ocean felt a slight swaying sensation, and then—the seawater receded like a low tide, dropping several dozen meters instantly.

But... this was only the prelude. The seawater had been receding for barely ten seconds when the sky suddenly darkened.

Looking closely, everyone would realize it wasn't the sky that had darkened, but the boundless seawater of the ocean rising up to form a wall of water over a hundred meters high, pushing forward like a mountain! "This is... going too far!"

Uchiha Feiyu, sitting on the giant Sea King, sighed. At the same time, a blood-red light soared into the sky, forming a red energy shield that enveloped the entire giant Sea King.

The overwhelming tsunami crashed into the blood-red energy shield but caused no damage to it. The giant Sea King continued to swim slowly through the sea; for a Sea King several thousand meters large, a tsunami a few hundred meters high was indeed no threat.

For Momousagi, who was flying in the sky, and Shirahoshi and her subordinates, who were Fish-Men and driving a large number of Sea Kings, this seawater was equally useless. But for the pirate ships surrounding Wano Country, this level of tsunami was practically apocalyptic!

At this moment, the pirate ships were in a state of panic: "What... what is this?! Is the world ending?" "A tsunami of this magnitude, could it be the Tremor-Tremor Fruit of that old guy Whitebeard! Damn it, has this perverted Devil Fruit found a new successor again?"

"Stop talking, hurry and find a way to block the tsunami! I'm a Devil Fruit user; if I fall into the sea, I'm dead for sure!"

The Pirates who could make a name for themselves in the New World were not easy to deal with; at the very least, the captains of the pirate crews definitely mastered Two-Color Haki, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to survive in the New World.

And those who mastered Haki generally had one or two long-range attack methods, whether it was air cannonballs fired through martial arts, long-range attacks controlled by Haki, or simply things like Flying Slash—at this moment, they all bombarded the massive wall of water without reservation.

However, seawater was not something that could be dispersed by pure brute force alone—it wasn't that it was impossible, but the power required to calm a tsunami of several hundred meters by brute force alone was inconceivable, and clearly not something these ordinary New World pirates could achieve.

Boom!!! Splash!!! Various attacks smashed into the tsunami, at most causing the massive wave to stall for a moment or creating some indentations. Then, the hundreds-of-meters-high tsunami closed in from both sides, and amidst a series of loud crashes, a large number of pirate ships were turned into scrap, and most of the pirates on board were crushed into meat paste by the two massive waves.

"Damn it!! Hancock, what are you doing?"

"Sister Hancock... this is too much of a cheat..."

Watching the pirate ships being swallowed by the tsunami, neither Momousagi nor Shirahoshi looked pleased. This Sea Quake move could be said to hurt both the enemy and oneself; it was basically no different from flipping the table.

It was just that neither Momousagi, Shirahoshi, nor Uchiha Feiyu cared about such attacks, which was why their side had no casualties, but in essence, this tsunami did not distinguish between friend and foe.

"Just tell me if I won or not! Or... do you want to welch on the bet?"

Hancock didn't care at all, standing at the bow of the ship and saying with a grin.

After such a massive tsunami, eight or nine out of ten pirate ships near Wano Country were gone—after all, among the pirates who could make a name for themselves in the New World, there were quite a few capable guys who could protect their ships even when facing such a tsunami.

It could be said that after this tsunami, although only ten or twenty percent of the pirates remained, their strength actually accounted for more than half of all the original pirates.

Unfortunately, their bet was based on the number of pirates, so even if Momousagi and Shirahoshi killed all the remaining pirates, the winner would still be Hancock.

Momousagi sighed:

"Fine, this time I'll count it as your win! Tina, Ain, let's go clean up the battlefield first and finish off the remaining group of pirates!"

As she spoke, the pink giant dragon had already flown above the many remaining pirates. The massive Marine warship descended from the sky, and in an instant, many powerful female Marines leaped from the ship, slaughtering the remnants of the pirate forces.

A look of helplessness also appeared on Shirahoshi's face as she commanded her Sea Kings and Merfolk to charge over.

……

Atop a giant Sea King, the White Bone Banner in Uchiha Feiyu's hand swayed gently; streams of fresh blood emerged from the originally azure sea, flying toward the White Bone Banner like swallows returning to their nests.

Along with those streams of blood came dark, eerie sounds, resembling wails and howls, yet they were quickly gulped down and thoroughly absorbed by the not-so-tall White Bone Banner. Faint blood-colored traces appeared on the originally pale banner surface, and a pale Nether Ghost Fire coiled around the entire White Bone Banner.

Of the over a thousand Pirate ships and nearly one hundred thousand Pirates, more than half had died in the preceding tsunami. Having gathered enough Blood Sacrifice from nearly 100,000 living souls, this Nether Bone Banner had leaped across several levels in a short time.

However, for Uchiha Feiyu, this magical treasure currently only served to store Qi and Blood and Soul; unless it absorbed the Qi and Blood and Soul of another hundred people, it was not as useful as his own strength.

At this moment, the Nether Bone Banner was still continuously absorbing Qi and Blood and Soul. After all, the war had not yet ended. Although the number of remaining Pirates was small, their quality was high; with Shirahoshi, Hancock, and Momousagi not having taken direct action, they could barely entangle with the remaining women for a while.

Just then, a giant roar came from the sky above Wano Country, and a cyan Shenron and a giant fat woman with pink hair stepping on black clouds descended from Wano Country simultaneously.

At the same time, a Pirate ship also appeared in the distance. Although it was only one ship, Uchiha Feiyu felt the aura coming from it, and the corners of his mouth immediately curled into a smile: "Very good... have all three Four Emperors of the Pirates come? Are they preparing to start the final decisive battle directly!"

A far-reaching Haki instantly erupted from Uchiha Feiyu's body, as if the heavens were shocked and the earth was trembling; the sea, originally filled with the sounds of slaughter and surging waves, fell silent in an instant.

The Conqueror's Haki, powerful to an almost unbelievable degree, caused the three Four Emperors to change color simultaneously. Amidst the heaven-shaking dragon roar and flashing lightning, three powerful bursts of Haoshoku Haki also erupted, barely resisting the intrusion of Uchiha Feiyu's Conqueror's Haki.

It was just that the expressions on the faces of these three legendary Great Pirates were not very pleasant; although Haoshoku Haki could not fully represent a person's strength, it was absolutely a manifestation of individual strength.

At such a long distance, the three Pirate Emperors could only barely hold their ground against Uchiha Feiyu's Conqueror's Haki, which undoubtedly already explained the gap in strength between the two sides.

However, Uchiha Feiyu did not take action directly, but instead used Conqueror's Haki to send a message to Shirahoshi, Hancock, and Momousagi: "I will leave these three guys to you... test your strength!"

"If anyone can win first, I will give you a reward too! Hmm, I can grant one small, reasonable wish."

Hearing Uchiha Feiyu's Conqueror's Haki transmission, the eyes of Shirahoshi, Hancock, and Momousagi lit up instantly, as if they had been injected with adrenaline, their morale greatly boosted:

"Rest assured, Lord Feiyu! I will go and finish them off right now!"

"I will definitely work hard! The one who wins this time will also be me!"

"Stop joking, the one who wins will definitely be me."
