The Big Daddy Pirates are indeed the strongest pirate group in the East Blue, and Eric will not risk his own life just for Commodore Nelson's double commission!
Just as he was looking for a retreating boat, the Dreadnaught Saber, which had a sea beast pulling the boat, had collided with the Marine's command ship, and the follow-up battle had officially begun.
Zoro immediately jumped on the warship and looked around for the 'powerful swordsman' who sent out the flying slashes.
When Basire approached the encirclement of the Marine fleet, the 40-meter barrier sword had already struck the four Marine warships on the right. A single encounter had turned the four warships into wreckage, and countless sailors fell into the sea.
The terrifying power of this sword almost made Eric, who was about to flee, become incontinent. It seemed that they had really encountered a terrifying man!
Eldoraggo on the other side also used a sonic cannon to pierce a warship.
Seeing this, the remaining three warships began to turn crazily, trying to escape. The Big Daddy Pirates were too terrifying and they couldn't deal with them at all!
Commodore Nelson, who had already withdrawn several hundred meters, turned pale with fright when he saw that his Marine fleet was being destroyed and sunk like tofu.
"Call for support, call for support!! East Blue's 8th branch Marine fleet failed to encircle and suppress the Big Daddy Pirates and suffered heavy losses. Five warships have been destroyed. We may be annihilated. Hurry up and send the nearest support from the Grand Line. The troops are coming!"
Nelson picked up the den den mushi and called Naval Headquarters frantically asking for help. He was rowing a boat with his own hands for the first time in years, just to quickly get away from the demons that were the Big Daddy Pirates!
"Captain Hina, who is cruising in the waters of Drum Island, is heading to the entrance of the Grand Line! Please protect your personal safety, Commodore Royale, and wait for support!"
The operator at Naval Headquarters immediately responded, but the waters of Drum Island are so far away from Reverse Mountain that even if they could fly, they would not be able to provide support!
Nelson hung up the phone angrily, cursed, and then continued to frantically row with his Lieutenant Commander and several soldiers to escape from the battle.
The other three warships could not escape Basire's claws, but he did not sink them directly. Instead, he asked the crew members such as Gin, Bear King, and Desire to go up and kill people to practice their skills.
Even Nami and Carmen were thrown in to see Marine's blood!
And Zoro had already started fighting with Eric. After knowing that the person who threw the flying slashes was not a swordsman, Zoro had lost most of his interest.
But Eric's sickle wind blade inspired him a lot, and he began to develop various flying slashing tricks, and slowly improved in his path as a swordsman.
As for Kuro, he, the Nyaban Brothers, and the others were riding fast motorboats to chase Commodore Nelson and the others who had slipped through the net.
Moreover, the cruel Kuro did not give Nelson a chance to beg for mercy. He even ignored the temptation of large amounts of money and directly killed them all.
Basire was on the Marine main ship, watching the fierce battle between Zoro and Eric with an expressionless face; he had no intention of taking action for the time being.
The wind blade emitted by the user of the sickle fruit ability is quite powerful. If it were a master with a powerful talent, its upper limit would be very high, and it would create huge wind blades with a wave of his fingers.
After eating this Devil Fruit, the starting point is comparable to that of a swordsman with flying slashes.
If he could develop a powerful wind blade that could split hundreds of meters with every wave of his finger, then he would be among the best in the New World.
Basire even felt that this ability should not be called the Sickle Fruit, but the Wind Blade Fruit.
He did not interfere with Zoro's combat understanding state and gave him a little more time to learn more sword skills.
"Captain Basire, we found some imprisoned pirates on the ship. Do we need to release them?"
Honey Queen suddenly ran over and said to Basire. She knew that he liked to recruit some powerful pirates, so when this happened, she immediately asked him how to deal with it.
"Really? Who has the highest bounty on his head? Are there any people with abilities?"
Basire said with some interest, because he had already encountered most of the pirate groups that appeared in the original work. And he didn't know whether there were other powerful pirate groups in the big East Blue sea.
"Um! The highest bounty is nine million. It seems there is no Devil fruit user."
She said a little bitterly, she felt that there should be no pirates Basire liked among them.
Even relatively strong people such as Pin Joker, Golass, and the Nyaban Brothers are just low tier members of the Big Daddy Pirates.
"That's right! How talented can the pirates that were caught by that trash be."
Give Momoo some extra food. He has been working hard recently, so let him have a good meal."
Basire said indifferently since he didn't want to recruit these losers, and even wanted to streamline the number of pirates on the ship.
If they can't even defeat normal people with the power of Pump-Pump Fruit. It's useless no matter how many of these minions there are. It's probably just a matter of Conqueror's Haki in the future.
And Basire has been exploring whether he has the potential of Conqueror's Haki.
Without the blessing of such qualifications, could he really reach the top of the world?
But he knew that only truly lawless and incredibly strong willed people could become First Generation Conqueror's Haki awakeners without powerful parents or ancestors.
People like the Four Emperors, Kaido and Whitebeard were all born from the grassroots, and their parents were not well-known powerful people.
But they also awakened the Conqueror's Haki!
Thinking of this, Basire felt that he was still a little constrained now.
Even Whitebeard and Red Hair, who are known to be loyal and heroic, have their own iron rules. If others touch them, they will die, and they must not be violated.
Perhaps Basire should also have his own absolute iron rules, and anyone who violates them will be killed.
Every king is very conceited and persistent. As long as he wants to do something, no one can stop him, not even his friends and relatives.
Perhaps it is this mentality that allows people to awaken the Conqueror's Haki!
···
Honey Queen couldn't help but tremble when she heard that Basire decided their fate without even looking at the pirates.
"Yes! Captain Basire!"
She said seriously, even though she was already Basire's woman, she still didn't dare to be arrogant.
And Zoro has slowly figured out Eric's tricks and shortcomings, so he quickly defeated him from behind.
The sickle fruit activates the wind blade, which can be produced by swiping your finger forward. If the opponent is behind you, you must turn around to counterattack.
However, it may just be that Eric hasn't developed his fruit much, which is why this shortcoming appears.
Basire didn't believe that he couldn't activate the wind blade by swiping his fingers backwards.
Pearl immediately grabbed a seastone handcuff and went up to handcuff Eric.
Next, if Captain Basire doesn't take action to subdue him, he may have to leave it to Lord Kuro to slowly whittle this Marine mercenary!
