*Title Hidden*

Zap~

A fist crackling with lightning gradually grew larger and larger in Bizarre's eyes. Delia's fist, enveloped in lightning, smashed directly onto Bizarre's iron jaw. Soldier against soldier, king against king, this had always been the tradition of the one piece world.

In a situation where high-end combat power isn't too strong or have been defeated, one's strongest would typically deal with the enemy's strongest. The number on Combe's head was very conspicuous, so Delia was easily able to lock onto the target.

This was Thunder Punch, but not quite Thunder Punch. It wasn't listed in Luxray's skill set, but being able to mingle with single-digit Numbers, even if those with greater potential hadn't fully matured yet, she wasn't lacking in combat talent.

Manipulating electricity was Luxray's most basic ability. Attaching lightning to fists to increase their power was the most basic usage, though it paled in comparison to the explosiveness of Thunder Punch.

Bizarre, who had been fighting Combe for a while, was no match for the vigorous Delia. He was slightly stronger than No. 61 Combe, but facing single-digit Delia, he was naturally not her match and was sent flying with just one punch.

As he climbed up from the beach, his eyes locked onto Delia's neck, where the pink No. 5 stood out vividly even against the backdrop of her blue fur.

Whitebeard's subordinate captains aren't newcomers who are clueless about the New World. Their biggest enemies in the New World are the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, and they had some understanding of the way the Beasts Pirates categorized strength by numbers.

Although this method exposes their own strength to a certain extent, it also puts pressure on the enemy. No. 61 Combe could hold out in a prolonged battle against him, but facing this No.5, a devil fruit user, he knew he didn't stand a chance.

"Damn it. Why hasn't Pops' reinforcement arrived yet?"

Just as Delia was about to follow up her attack, two distinct gunshots echoed from afar. The sense of crisis in her heart made her choose to retreat. Just as she moved, two bullet holes appeared at her feet.

Then a burly man with a longsword and a Y-shaped double chin appeared.

A cigar hung from the corner of his mouth, and a simple Whitebeard's flag was engraved on his right shoulder.

15th Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates - Fossa.

Seeing this, Delia didn't continue her attack on Bizarre. Instead, she looked into the distance. Luxray not only granted her the ability of x-ray vision, but in its powered-up state, her naked eyes could function as binoculars.

At this moment, she could see the ships of Whitebeard Pirates gradually approaching the coast, as well as the people on the bow.

Clad in a pink kimono, and a red obi with spots irregularly tied around his waist. His lips were adorned with lipstick. Unlike Kikunojo, it was immediately apparent that this was a man.

16th Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates - Izou.

Smoke was still emanating from the twin guns in his hands, indicating that the two shots just now were fired by him.

"You're quite quick to arrive. Hey, 61, can you still hold up?"

Due to their unfamiliarity, Delia addressed him by his code number.

"I'm Combe, and I can still fight."

"You go hold one off; I'll wrap up the fight as soon as possible." Saying this, Delia tossed a vial to Combe - an internally supplied potion of the Beasts Pirates, capable of not only healing wounds but also restoring stamina.

Combe had his own supply, but he didn't expect the battle to drag on. Carrying limited potions, he had already distributed his own potion to other severely injured members beforehand.

In a one-on-one scenario, Delia still had some confidence, but two would be somewhat difficult. Whitebeard Pirates, except for the still vacant Second Division, had now developed into a large pirate crew with 16 divisions.

Each division commander was an expert with impressive strength. The numbering of division commanders didn't necessarily represent their strength or rank. Although there were rumors outside that these people were all powerful, there was still a significant gap between them.

Izou and Fossa were at the level of senior officers, but not quite among the elite officers.

"I'll do my best, but..."

Even if the potion could restore stamina, he wasn't sure how long he could hold out against Whitebeard's division commander. Delia had already proven the disparity between their levels, and it wasn't merely a matter of stamina.

"Don't worry, I'll be there to assist you soon. It's not a big deal, but what exactly is on this island?"

The fact that the Whitebeard Pirates had dispatched two division commanders was unexpected. According to Delia's estimation, even if Whitebeard sent out just one division commander, it would have been enough. Considering how vast his territory is, manpower shouldn't have been so abundant.

The fact that the Whitebeard Pirates dispatched two division commanders indicated that there was something they needed here.

"I'm not sure either."

"Where are those pirates from before?"

"We hadn't been here long before both of them died during the fight."

"."

An unexpected result occurred, one that Delia hadn't anticipated. However, she didn't have time to dwell on it now; dealing with the immediate battle at hand was the priority.

"Isuka! Plan B, take care of yourself!"

The original plan was to let her gain some fighting experience, but to prevent any mishaps, she had contingency plans in place. These included Plan C, which involved an immediate retreat if they weren't a match, and Plan B, which entailed stopping whatever she was doing and switching to supervising Kikunojo.

Kikunojo was much more powerful than ordinary pirates. Normally, Delia would allow him to slack off, but there's no way she can waste his strength at a time like this.

Saying that, her body began to fill with electricity, a charging technique that enhanced the power of her subsequent electric-type attacks. The electrical currents enveloping her body also provided her with the ability to resist special attacks.

"Combe, I'll leave this place to you."

"Yes!"

Combe, whose stamina had been restored by the potion, once again used Razor Shell, while Fossa took another deep drag from his cigar. As the crimson cigarette end touched the blade, his longsword was immediately enveloped in flames.

While the water blade clashed against the fire blade, Delia rushed towards the coast.

Compared to this tired subordinate crew, it was clear that the members of the main Whitebeard crew who were full of energy posed the greater threat.

Moreover, once Izou, with his twin guns, joined the battlefield, it would be an even bigger problem. Firearms were more effective against opponents weaker than oneself.

Although they were called guns, ordinary firearms had their limits. In the New World, renowned marksmen didn't compete merely in marksmanship; they were the basics of the basics in the New World.

They compete based on their skills with Observation Haki and Armament Haki. Observation Haki is used to lock onto the opponents, and Armament Haki increases their power. Without these two, their guns were mere firestick in the eyes of opponents of the same level.

Earlier, Fossa had sensed that the situation on the island was not right, so he had rushed over to the island first, while Izou led the team to land. However, Izou didn't know yet what a blow this battle would deal to him.
