Chapter 124

In just an instant, the battle became even more intense.

The Marine forces continued to use their warships to launch artillery attacks, trying to prevent the massive wooden ship from landing on the Sabaody Archipelago.

At the same time, as the warships drew closer to the massive wooden ship, many figures on the warships leaped over, charging toward the wooden ship and launching attacks on the people from the ninja world.

Facing the Marines' frantic assault, the powerhouses from the ninja world one after another unleashed their respective specialized ninjutsu.

Some stood on the wooden ship to block the Marines' attacks, while others couldn't wait to rush out and slaughter the enemy.

On one edge of the massive wooden ship, a young man with golden hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a black robe embroidered with red clouds that swayed in the wind, was scanning the Marines frantically charging toward the massive wooden ship with an excited gaze.

This person was none other than Deidara of the Akatsuki organization!

At this moment, a wild and arrogant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and in his eyes, which were not covered by his long hair, he looked at the explosive points with a very disdainful expression.

"Trash, absolutely trash!"

His expression was seen by the Marines charging from directly in front, and suddenly, an unnamed fire of rage ignited in each of their hearts.

"Look, there's a yellow-haired guy over there, he actually dares to stand there and mock us!"

"Nani, this bastard is too arrogant, daring to look down on us like this; I've decided, I must be the first one to kill this guy!"

"Damn bastard, daring to look down on us Marines, I'll definitely make you regret having such thoughts!"

A group of Marines had ugly expressions, roaring as they charged toward Deidara, and some of them even hurriedly aimed their guns at Deidara, pressed their fingers down, and fired directly!

"Fire!" the Captain leading the squad ordered.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A dozen gunshots rang out, and the bullets flew rapidly, striking Deidara's body in the blink of an eye.

However, before the Marine soldiers could even show a smile, they heard a "poof" sound, and the body of that yellow-haired bastard on the edge of the ship suddenly exploded, turning into a puff of white smoke.

Immediately afterward, they saw a strange white giant bird descending from the sky, and standing on it was a person—none other than that "exploded" yellow-haired bastard.

While they were stunned and shocked, the mouth on Deidara's palm chewed rapidly, and then clusters of white clay were spat out, transforming into small flying birds that flew toward these Marines.

"What is that?" A group of people looked at the small birds flying toward them, their faces showing expressions of suspicion.

At this moment, seeing that they didn't dodge and even wanted to use their swords to slash at the small flying birds, Deidara showed a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Let me show you what true art of explosion is! Hmm!"

"Katsu!"

Following his low shout, those small birds that had already approached the Marines suddenly expanded and then exploded directly.

"Boom!"

The sudden explosion blew those dozen people away, killing some and injuring others, all of them falling into the sea.

The explosion here also instantly attracted the attention of many people on the scene, including Sengoku, who looked over here and happened to see the scene of a dozen Marines being blown away, his brow twitching involuntarily.

At the same time, Felix and the newspaper staff also hurriedly aimed their Den Den Mushi at this side, capturing the scene of the explosion just now.

Such footage made people watching the live battle broadcast from screens all over the world gasp in amazement, while also making them very curious about the white giant bird Deidara was stepping on, because it didn't look like a living creature.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, reputation points +99999!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host, reputation points +99999!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host, reputation points +99999!"

Seeing the system notifications scrolling by, Lin Xuan's attention was also attracted.

"Sure enough, the people from the Akatsuki organization didn't let me down; they started helping me farm reputation points so quickly!" A happy smile appeared on Lin Xuan's face.

All along, Lin Xuan had always felt that the Akatsuki organization was just a group of mental patients who went around causing trouble under the slogan of world peace.

And Deidara was one of them; his obsession with art reached the extreme, and in order to realize the art of explosion, he even went as far as to self-destruct to complete his final explosive art!

However, whether they were crazy or not didn't matter anymore; in fact, the crazier these guys were, the more they could farm reputation points for him!

"The ability is explosion; could this guy be a user of the Bomb-Bomb Fruit?"

On a massive Marine warship, a Vice Admiral narrowed his eyes, then suddenly leaped, charging rapidly toward Deidara.

Deidara had already made another move, raising his hand and waving it, and several clusters of white explosive clay flew out, which he tossed in front of a group of Marines.

Explosive Clay: Puppet Technique!

As Deidara formed hand seals, those clay clusters squirmed rapidly, turning into crude human shapes and engaging the Marine soldiers in combat.

"Little bug, prepare to die!"

Just as Deidara saw the clay clones had approached the Marines and was about to form seals to detonate the clay, he heard an angry shout from the side.

Immediately afterward, he saw a massive body at least seven or eight meters tall charging rapidly toward him, and a giant fist smashed over without any hesitation.

"Boom!"

Deidara was smashed down from the sky by that fist, falling into the sea along with the white clay flying bird.

The power of this punch was very strong; when the fist landed, a gust of wind was whipped up all around.

At this time, the surrounding Marine soldiers also saw clearly who had made the move, and their faces showed expressions of excitement.

"It's Vice Admiral John Giant who made the move!"

"Truly worthy of Vice Admiral John Giant, he's really too powerful; he took out an enemy as soon as he made a move."

"The Giants are indeed powerful; after this punch, I felt like I couldn't breathe!"

The nearby Marines began to discuss excitedly, and their gazes toward the Giant Marine John Giant couldn't help but show a bit more admiration and worship!

John Giant landed on the ship, looked at the spot where Deidara had fallen into the water, his face full of disdain, and said: "A little bug dares to be presumptuous in front of me; blowing you to death with one punch is already a mercy to you!"

In his view, Deidara was a Devil Fruit user, and now that he had been punched into the seawater, he had completely lost his combat ability.

So, next, he just needed to let him drown in the sea.

John Giant turned around and walked away, preparing to continue dealing with other enemies.

However, several white shadows suddenly broke through the water from within the sea, striking him directly.

"Boom!"

John Giant was injured by the sudden attack, a gruesome wound appearing on his shoulder, and blood dripped onto the deck along his arm.

"Nani, that guy actually didn't die?"

"How is that possible? Isn't he a Devil Fruit user? Why didn't he lose his strength after falling into the sea?"

"Damn it, what kind of monsters are these guys?"

The nearby Marines saw this scene, and their gazes hurriedly looked toward the sea surface.

Then, they saw a figure appear on the sea surface—it was none other than that yellow-haired guy who had just been knocked into the sea by Vice Admiral John Giant.

It was common knowledge that Devil Fruit users were "hammer-heads" (unable to swim).

Although Lin Xuan and his group had shown the ability to stand collectively on the sea surface earlier, everyone thought that must be some kind of Devil Fruit ability technique that helped the others, similar to how Aokiji could freeze the sea surface to let everyone stand on it.

However, the situation before them now completely overturned their understanding!
