Chapter 277

"Sss~"

Usopp stared at the pirates around him, listening to their words, deeply shocked: "Are there really this many famous pirates?! Could they all have been gathered here by that person?!"

"No, we didn't come because we were summoned."

Lao Cai of the Eight Treasures Navy turned to look at them upon hearing this: "We all came here of our own accord to fight."

Eddieo, the Martial Destructionist standing beside him, clashed his fists together and grinned at the Straw Hats: "I've hated those self-important World Government bastards for a long time."

The nobleman Cavendish bit a rose, glowing brilliantly, his face brimming with confidence: "This battlefield is the perfect stage to display my charm and strength—how could I possibly miss it?"

He caught sight of Luffy among them, paused in surprise, then rushed up to Luffy and asked him:

"Are you the Straw Hat kid?"

"Yeah, what of it?"

Luffy stared at him, puzzled.

Cavendish pinched his chin, sizing Luffy up from every angle.

"What the hell are you trying to do?! Want to fight?!"

"No."

Cavendish pinched his chin, gazing at Luffy in confusion: "You're even more unimpressive than I imagined—don't even look strong. How did you cause such a commotion in the War at Marineford?"

Hearing this, Luffy grew furious:

"What did you say?!"

"I'm stating facts."

The two were about to start quarreling.

A cold voice rang out nearby.

"Fighting is forbidden here."

Everyone turned to look.

A graceful woman stood there, clad in a white coat, dual swords at her waist, her blue high ponytail flowing—her eyes icy, her entire presence radiating a chilling, piercing edge.

The pirates under Eddieo gazed at the woman with a hint of reverence.

"It's the female swordsman of the Sky Disaster Travelers."

"Such overwhelming pressure."

"She's definitely a Grand Sword Saint."

Other renowned pirates with bounties over a hundred million also grew solemn as they looked at her.

Upon seeing Nami, Cavendish turned away, abandoning his argument with Luffy, and walked off: "For the sake of that person, I'll let it slide this time—we'll settle this on the battlefield next time."

Luffy watched Cavendish's back, frowning: "What the hell was that cabbage guy thinking? I didn't even provoke him."

Nami glanced at Zoro.

Zoro was staring intently at her, hand resting on his scabbard, eyes gleaming with battle lust.

But Nami only looked at him once before turning away.

…

After the meeting ended, with Luo En, Kaido, Zefa, Lei Li, Doraque, Ma Erke, Empress Boa Hancock, and others participating.

The battle deployment for this war was now fully complete!

The vanguard First Division.

Led by Jack and Quinn, the Beasts Pirates' fleet would launch a frontal assault on the Red Continent from the Crimson Seas.

Commander "Drought" Jack.

The Second Division, led by the Four Army Commanders of the Revolutionary Army, would follow closely behind the First Division with a fleet of two hundred thousand revolutionaries, landing from three directions to attack Mary Geoise.

Commander Belo Betty!

The Third Division, led by Garp's remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, would assist and cover the First and Second Divisions.

Commander Garp!

The Fourth Division, a combined aerial strike force of the Straw Hat Alliance and numerous pirates including Cavendish, would be dropped by Luo En's ability into the Navy ranks once the war began, creating chaos.

No commander!

The Fifth Division, Medical Division.

Composed of Law's Red-Haired Pirates, Chopper, Ivankov, Franky, and others.

Commander Trafalgar Law!

The Sixth Division, Air Division.

Composed of Conis, Amazonian warriors, and other ability users skilled in long-range attacks, riding floating ships in the sky, striking with fruit powers, cannons, and iron arrows wrapped in Armament Haki.

Commander Luo Bin!

The Seventh Division, Surprise Attack Division, composed of Ayn's New Navy!

At this moment.

The Seven Divisions had all been fully assembled on the sea!

Everyone stood on their ships, gazing with reverence at the shore of Punk Hazard.

Capone Bege, chewing a cigar, couldn't help but sigh: "It feels like half the top powerhouses of the sea have gathered here."

"What an incredible sight!"

Greenbean stared at the shore, rubbing his head: "If the Navy saw this, they'd probably be terrified out of their wits."

Many pirates, gazing at the figures standing on the shore, couldn't help swallowing hard.

Rayleigh, former Marine Admiral Black Arm Zephyr, one of the Four Emperors Kaido, Revolutionary Army leader Dragon, Empress Boa Hancock, Tyrant Bartholomew Kuma, Phoenix Marco, Fire Fist Ace, Sabo, female swordsman Nami, and…

Under the gaze of everyone.

A tall, slender figure stepped out from between Empress Hancock and Kuina.

He walked to the front of these renowned, sea-shaking powerhouses.

Even Kaido, as arrogant and unruly as he was, now stood behind that man with his arms crossed, saying nothing more.

He acknowledged that fellow's strength.

Under the gazes of awe and reverence from the crowd,

the young man draped in a black coat, a blood-red saber at his waist, his black hair streaming in the wind behind his head, lifted his head, revealing a pair of azure-blue eyes beneath his Liu Hai.

He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his expression calm as he looked out at the many fleets and people on the sea.

Under the gaze of those calm eyes of his,

everyone felt an inexplicable pressure.

Some were even overawed by his presence and couldn't help swallowing hard.

Someone stared at him and murmured.

"It's just like an emperor…"

At this moment,

heaven and earth fell silent.

The wind and the seawater seemed to stop as well.

"Everyone."

Luo En's calm voice rang out across this silent world, making everyone's heart tremble.

"The time has come."

"Follow me, and together we shall overturn this world."

When the words fell, after a brief silence,

across the entire sea—

whether the Zoan Devil Fruit users of the Beasts Pirates, or the Revolutionary Army soldiers gripping their weapons with resolute expressions, or the pirates from various crews—all raised the blades and swords in their hands, gazing at the top powerhouses led by Luo En on the coast ahead, and shouted in unison!

Countless voices gathered together, erupting into a heaven-shaking, earth-rumbling roar above the sea!

Straw Hat Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Law, Kid, Killer, Bege, Jack, Queen… one after another, familiar figures from the sea stood on the deck, towering among the crowd—some calm and composed, some with sharp gazes, some with cold expressions, some with battle intent boiling over.

The combined presence of countless people surged upward, piercing straight through ten thousand fathoms of clouds.

241, the war has begun—bring the ship alongside!

Just as Luo En had said, the Summit War was merely the prelude.

The First Division, the Beasts Pirates' fleet, set sail in grand formation toward the Red Sea beneath the Red Continent.

The moment the Beasts Pirates' fleet made contact with the Navy's front-line warship group.
