Chapter 387: Greetings from the Totto Land's Prince and Princess

Boom!!!

"Wuu wuu wuu…"

"Crash…"

A deafening explosion resounded as shockwaves rippled across the sea. Waves churned violently, whipping the sails until they were taut. Caught off guard by the powerful blast, numerous Marines were flung into the air, landing with dizzy thuds—or even falling overboard. The massive warship nearly capsized, and the surrounding vessels also rocked precariously. Sailors lost their footing and nearly got swept away.

"Admiral Sengoku—"

"What just happened?"

"Gulp! That lightning bolt was…"

"Does this sea region even have weather like that?"

Glancing at the sky, which was now blank and back to normal, and then back at the warship's bow—where a massive golden Buddha radiated a solemn aura—the Marines felt cold sweat sliding down their backs. Had Admiral Sengoku not blocked that terrifying lightning strike, many of them and their ship would have been obliterated, with no time or space to evade.

"What's going on here?"

Whether Fist of Love Garp, Black Arm Zephyr, or the other Marine officers present, all looked on in bewilderment.

"That can only be the work of Kukulkan Thor—the so-called 'Thunder God,' one of Fallen Angel El's monstrous children!"

Sengoku was both furious and startled. His gaze locked onto the massive airborne warship in the distance, his eyes full of wariness. Clenching his teeth, he said:

"Our intel was right. The eldest son of the Kukulkan family really is a Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit user!"

"Yahahaha, since we're here, let's have some fun!"

An arrogant voice boomed, echoing across the sea.

That colossal warship floated ever closer. Huge figures swooped down from above. Thor and Sif, each with black wings on their back, descended on flapping wings. The Ace Brothers had shifted into special hybrid beast forms, sprouting demonic wings. Meanwhile, Gerd and Hajrudin rode the thunderclouds Zeus and Hera respectively, all bursting with fighting intent. Behind them trailed a vast "angelic" legion, brimming with murderous aura.

"They're here, huh?"

"Heh heh, all of them are big customers!"

All at once, Admiral Sengoku, Vice Admiral Garp, and Admiral Zephyr exchanged grim looks, raising their guard. Wasting no time, these leaders leaped onto the frozen sea below, ready to fight.

"Fallen Angel Pirates—what do you mean by this?"

Standing tall in golden light, Sengoku emanated a natural air of authority in his Great Buddha form. He stared coldly at Thor, Sif, Gerd, Hajrudin, and the Ace Brothers:

"Are you planning an all-out war against the World Government?"

"Apologies…"

Brandishing his Thunder God's Hammer, Thor fixed his gaze on the Marine "Trio" in front. His entire body crackled with electricity as he grinned:

"It seems you already know who I am, so I won't bother introducing myself. Let's just say hello, since we'll be seeing a lot of each other!"

"Indeed," Sif interjected, a hand resting on the hilt of her sword, her tone teasing.

"As the eldest son and daughter of the Kukulkan family, we've finally grown enough to step forward and handle our duties as Totto Land's prince and princess—heading off to battle everywhere. Naturally we'll be crossing paths with top Marine officers, so let's get familiar."

Standing among them, Gerd—one of the "Five Great Calamities," also known as "Heavenly Calamity"—smiled gently. Strictly speaking, she was the commanding officer of this fleet, and it wasn't the place of her younger children to speak directly with Sengoku, Zephyr, or Garp. But seeing her kids' outstanding performance filled her with pride—she was happy to let them take the stage, standing by as support.

Sengoku and Zephyr and the rest all wore dark expressions, obviously displeased. Yet they couldn't ignore the oppressive aura of Thor and Sif. Before they realized it, even El's children had become such a formidable force. The Fallen Angel Pirates were truly daunting, likely even stronger overall than the Navy itself. If not for the World Government backing them, the pirates might long ago have stormed Marine Headquarters. The Marines were forced to be more vigilant.

"Heh, aren't you punks a little full of yourselves, brats from the Kukulkan clan…"

Garp's eye twitched, fixing an irritated glare on the tallest figure—Thor.

"That milk on your breath's still fresh. Taking us on face-to-face? You're a long way off… Better call your old man!"

"My old man? If he really showed up, you'd just get upset again."

Thor sneered, glancing slyly at Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr. A mischievous smile crossed his face:

"The 'Rice-Cracker Three Admirals!'"

He remembered clearly how his father had once strolled up to G-1 Fortress with him and Dar in tow—how just standing there had the "three of them" sweating bullets, on high alert. With a single strike of "Conqueror," El had flattened G-1 Fortress, leaving them on their knees, battered and humiliated before walking away. Before departing, El had dubbed them the "Rice-Cracker Three Admirals." Next day, The Totto Land Times published embarrassing photos of their kneeling defeat along with the epithet El granted them, spreading the nickname "Rice-Cracker Three Admirals" throughout the seas, turning them into a laughingstock.

"Tch…"

"That bastard…"

Recalling that humiliation, Sengoku, Garp, and Zephyr flushed with anger, fists clenched. "Rice-Cracker Three Admirals" was an unbearable slight, their humiliation still fresh in their minds.

They'd spent countless days and nights training, hoping someday to redeem themselves. Yet they still hadn't challenged Fallen Angel El again—and now his children had stepped forward instead.
