Chapter 204: Chaotic Shamboli Islands

Shamboli Islands.

Lawless zone.

Smuggy, one of the Four Great Captains of the Big Mom Pirates, dragged a young female pirate wearing a captain's hat into a bar.

She hung the young pirate from the bar's ceiling.

Then, Smuggy pressed her left hand against the woman's body and held two glasses beneath her curves.

"Ahh~"

The young pirate screamed in agony as her body twisted into a rope-like shape; semi-transparent liquid seeped from her body and dripped into the glasses Smuggy held.

"Hmm, the witch Suzy, with a bounty of fifty million Berries—tastes decent."

Smuggy took a sip of the juice in her hand and nodded in satisfaction.

Then she waved for someone to take away the rapidly aged witch Suzy.

"Brother, any news on the Godslayer Lin Yu?"

Smuggy sat beside Katakuri, handed him the other glass of juice, crossed her long leg, and asked casually.

"We still have no word of him—he likely hasn't reached the Shamboli Islands yet."

Katakuri unwound the bandages on his left arm and continued asking Smuggy:

"How's Kureha? Did he leave?"

Both the Four Emperors Big Mom and Kaido want to capture Lin Yu and obtain his Airship Technology.

So when they met in the lawless zone of the Shamboli Islands, they immediately clashed in battle.

In the end, Big Mom's crew, with two Great Captains and many high-ranking officers, emerged victorious, successfully repelling Kureha and the Six Supernovas of the Beasts Pirates.

Katakuri and Smuggy even captured two stubborn members of the Six Supernovas.

But Kureha managed to rescue the two captured Six Supernovas by unleashing a massive, indiscriminate gas bomb, foiling their success.

Smuggy downed the juice in her glass in a few gulps and set the cup down:

"According to DaFu's patrols, Kureha and his crew are still drifting around the outer seas of the Shamboli Islands—they clearly haven't given up."

"Shall I lead a force to sink their ship?"

Katakuri pushed the glass of juice in front of him toward Smuggy and shook his head directly:

"There are many high-ranking CP0 agents from the World Government roaming the island—they're likely after the Godslayer Lin Yu too."

"Plus, the Marine Headquarters nearby is assembling elite Marines to prepare for battle against Bai Huzi's crew. Kureha's presence helps ease some pressure from the World Government and the Marines."

"So as long as Kureha doesn't set foot on the island, we leave him be."

Pirates are enemies to each other, but when facing the Marines and the World Government, they become natural allies.

"Understood, brother."

Smuggy took the juice Katakuri offered, took a sip.

Then Katakuri continued:

"Also, have Owen and DaFu closely monitor the Marine Headquarters and the World Government's movements."

"If a Marine Admiral arrives, we leave immediately—safety first!"

Although Lin Yu's Airship Technology is crucial—it could determine whether Mother or I become Pirate King.

But in Katakuri's eyes, the safety of his brothers and sisters is the most important, the top priority.

And Marine Admirals are clearly not something Katakuri and the others can currently oppose.

So he must be cautious and prudent to protect his siblings' safety.

"Yes, brother."

Smuggy downed the juice in one gulp, picked up her longsword, and walked out of the bar.

She always strictly followed Katakuri's orders.

On the outer seas of the Shamboli Islands.

A massive ship of the Beasts Pirates drifted on the ocean.

"That bastard Katakuri—I'll remember this grudge, Kureha."

"Two against one? They've lost all face!!!"

Kureha, the Beasts Pirates' top commander "Art Disaster," transformed into a Brachiosaurus serpent, coiled on the deck, repairing his detached dinosaur body while cursing.

Kureha had assumed that with the Six Supernovas, he could complete his mission—capture the Godslayer Lin Yu or obtain his Airship Technology.

But he never expected Katakuri of the Big Mom Pirates had prepared even better—he arrived with Smuggy, another Great Captain, catching Kureha completely off guard.

While the Six Supernovas were tied up by Big Mom's high-ranking officers like Owen and DaFu,

Kureha alone had to face the brutal attacks of two Great Captains—Katakuri and Smuggy.

If he hadn't finally gone all out and unleashed a massive, indiscriminate poison gas bomb, not only would Runti and Xiao Pei have been captured—he probably would've been trapped there too.

Even so, the low-ranking Beasts Pirates under his command were engulfed by his own gas bomb and all perished, leaving only the Six Supernovas.

His mechanical body was also shattered in multiple places, and he's been repairing it for a long time without success.

"Aaahh, my head hurts so much!!!"

Runti, a girl with two horns and blue hair, stepped out of the cabin, pounding her head.

"Kureha, thank you for saving me and Xiao Pei," Runti shouted upon seeing Kureha.

"It's nothing," Kureha glanced at Runti and kept repairing his body.

After thanking him, Runti ran over, punched Kureha in the arm, and snapped:

"Couldn't you have given us the antidote beforehand?"

"Your poison this time was seriously intense."

"Xiao Pei and the others are still lying in bed!!!"

Queen's wide-area poison gas bomb not only wiped out the entire Beasts Pirates crew, but even the five Flying Six members barely managed to withstand it and are still bedridden to this day.

In contrast, the Big Mom Pirates suffered minimal casualties thanks to Smoothie's squeezing ability providing treatment.

It was simply a case of killing one hundred enemies while losing a thousand of one's own!

Queen glanced at Ulti and laughed:

"That was my latest research; if it couldn't even poison you lot, I might as well give up researching toxins altogether."

"As for the antidote, there is absolutely no way I would have brought it out in advance."

Having said this, Queen turned around and continued repairing the Brachiosaurus body.

Seeing Queen in this state, Ulti immediately felt so angry that she wanted to take the opportunity to punch him again.

Afterwards, Ulti squatted beside Queen, handing him tools, and asked:

"What do we do now?"

"Those people from the Big Mom Pirates won't even let us set foot on the island."

Queen said indifferently:

"We and Katakuri aren't the only ones targeting Lin Yu."

"The World Government, the Marines, the Revolutionary Army, the Four Emperors' pirate crews, rookie pirates, and so on and so forth."

"As long as we can create chaos, we will be able to fish in troubled waters."

Hearing this, Ulti asked directly: "Then how are we supposed to create chaos?"
