Chapter 276: Destroy the DW Organization!
The two warriors, who had just been locked in a fierce battle, suddenly turned their attention toward the World Governnt fleet stationed ahead.
In an instant, the enemy’s plan for a surprise attack was thrown into chaos.
"Wait... weren’t they just fighting each other a mont ago?"
"How the hell are they suddenly united!?"
Panic spread among the fleet’s ranks as confusion took hold.
"The Dragon Hunter Pirates and the Beast Pirates!"
"We are a fleet directly under the World Governnt! If you surrender now, I may consider sparing your lives!"
A tall, proud-looking nobleman strolled up to the bow of the leading warship. He gazed down at the two massive pirate crews with an expression of arrogance, as if he were lecturing a pair of rebellious children.
And then he said sothing so mind-numbingly dumb that even a decade of brain damage couldn’t excuse it.
"...Is this guy actually serious?"
King squinted, visibly cringing at the man’s words. "Yep. Definitely dumber than Jack and Quinn combined."
He wasn’t even angry—he was embarrassed for the guy.
Did this idiot have any idea who he was speaking to?
This wasn’t a skirmish between small-ti pirates. These were the Dragon Hunter Pirates and the Beast Pirates.
Two of the most dangerous crews in the New World—surrender just wasn’t in their vocabulary.
"Bang!"
Ryuunosuke didn’t even dignify the man with a verbal reply.
He simply threw a casual punch toward the air in front of him.
The force of the blow compressed the atmosphere so intensely that it released a shockwave like a cannon blast, tearing across the battlefield.
Up above, Kaido remained in his human form, hovering ominously in the sky. With a wild grin, he roared as he unleashed a destructive shockwave aid straight at the World Governnt fleet.
BOOM!
A column of mist and water surged upward as the sea erupted beneath the force.
The resulting wind was fierce—but as it cleared, the fleet erged largely intact.
No casualties. No damage.
Ryuunosuke narrowed his eyes. The commander still stood tall.
This guy wasn’t just full of hot air. He actually had the strength to back it up.
"You must be Ryuunosuke," the man called out calmly. "I am Onbu, leader of a special ops team under the DW Organization."
He smirked. "I ca here with one goal: to kill you."
"Oh?" Ryuunosuke raised an eyebrow.
Onbu continued, clearly confident. "You won’t be able to use your abilities this ti. You’re just relying on brute strength now, right? That last battle with Kaido drained you."
Ryuunosuke blinked. "Huh? What are you even talking about?"
"No need to play dumb," Onbu sneered. "You’ve been fighting Kaido for over ten days without a resolution. You’re spent. Weak. Your era is over. You’ve lost the right to stand against the World Governnt."
"Today, I’ll bury you at sea, pirate."
Without another word, Onbu charged forward. A booster pack on his back ignited with a whoosh as he accelerated like a missile toward Ryuunosuke.
But just as he was about to strike—
SLASH!
A flash of silver split the air. A blade ca down cleanly, severing Onbu’s arm at the elbow.
Before he could even scream, Ryuunosuke’s hand shot forward and clamped around his throat.
"I don’t know what nonsense you’re spewing," he said coldly, lifting Onbu off the deck. "But if you ca here to kill ... you should’ve expected to die."
"As a pirate, it’s normal to kill the World Governnt’s lapdogs, right?"
CRACK.
Without hesitation, Ryuunosuke snapped Onbu’s neck.
He tossed the lifeless body into the sea like garbage.
No last words. No dramatic farewell. Onbu didn’t even have ti to blink.
A captain—just like that—dead in seconds.
The remaining fleet mbers froze.
This wasn’t what they expected. This wasn’t in any of the reports.
Wasn’t Ryuunosuke supposed to be weakened? A dying beast?
Was the intelligence wrong? Or was he just that much stronger than they realized?
"W-What are you waiting for?!" the nobleman barked. "Kill them! Now! I’m the commander of this operation!"
His voice shook with panic. His hand trembled on the hilt of his saber.
He couldn’t die here. Not now. He was on the verge of becoming a Celestial Dragon. This mission was supposed to be his stepping stone to greatness.
And now? His fleet was faltering, and death lood.
"No... I won’t die here... I—"
BANG!
A single gunshot echoed across the sea.
A neat, circular hole appeared in the center of the nobleman’s chest.
He gasped, eyes wide with disbelief as he slumped forward.
From afar, Mine calmly lowered her sniper rifle—Romantic Turret—smoke curling from its barrel.
"The mont you stepped up as commander," she said coldly, "you sealed your fate."
The supposed leader of the fleet collapsed in a pool of his own blood.
No one dared step forward to take his place.
Kaido let out a laugh as he cracked his neck. "Four ships, huh? Ryuunosuke, let’s see who can rack up more kills!"
He was practically salivating for action.
"Fine by ," Ryuunosuke grinned. "Besides, I need to vent a little. All that Haki clashing in our fight—it built up inside . If I don’t release it soon, it’ll ss up."
"Glad we’re on the sa page!"
With a thunderous roar, Kaido leapt from the sky and brought his massive kanabo crashing down on the nearest warship.
CRASH!
Timbers splintered. Cannons exploded. Screams filled the air.
"You’re stealing my kills, dammit!" Ryuunosuke yelled as he charged forward, fists blazing with Haki.

Back aboard the Dragon Hunter ship...
"Alright, everyone relax," Najenda said as she exhaled and sheathed her weapon. "With the captain and Kaido out there, those guys are dead at."
She wasted no ti. "Start prepping food and drinks. It’s gonna be a celebration."
And just like she predicted, the battle ended swiftly.
Three heavily ard governnt warships, manned by elite soldiers, were annihilated within half an hour.
The sea turned crimson.
And when Ryuunosuke returned, he was dragging several corpses behind him.
"Captain, what’s all this?" Najenda asked, eyeing the bodies warily as she handed over a jug of wine.
"These guys aren’t ordinary," Ryuunosuke replied. "They reek of experints. Probably another one of Vegapunk’s pet projects."
His eyes darkened.
"One day, I’m going to kill that bastard."
Najenda grinned. "Got it. I’ll pass them over to Yahiko and the others for dissection."
"By the way, food and wine’s ready. You joining us?"
Ryuunosuke’s mood lightened. "A party?"
His eyes scanned the deck. "King, Quinn, Jack... you guys showed up too?"
He raised the jug in greeting.
"Kuina! Co here!"
He waved to the young swordswoman and walked toward the stern of the ship.
---
Kuina followed quietly, but her composure had cracked.
Earlier, she had kept a calm face—holding it together for the crew.
But now, away from the crowd, her hands trembled, and her eyes glistened.
Ryuunosuke didn’t speak. He simply placed a hand on her shoulder and sat beside her, offering the wine without a word.
