One Piece - I'm Whitebeard

Chapter 443: 444 Naval Battle 02



Both the Marine battleships and the Whitebeard Pirates continued to fire shells at each other. 

The Marines, in particular, were more fierce, with each battleship equipped with several laser cannons, causing a lot of damage.

The laser cannons are very powerful. They fire extremely fast and can pierce through a pirate ship with a single shot. 

Despite the commander and captains' desperate efforts to defend, these lasers are difficult to block.

"These Marine attacks are fierce. Everyone must hold firm and not be pushed back" 

Marco took the lead. He encouraged everyone while resisting.

Marco transformed into a huge phoenix, and the flames on his body extended to the maximum. He rushed to the forefront to resist all attacks from Marine with his body.

These attacks had little effect on Marco, causing only brief disruptions. Meanwhile, the other main commanders also stepped forward to help resist.

As a top-tier defender, Jozu transformed into diamond form and used his body to withstand attacks like Marco. Neither laser beams nor cannonballs can cause damage to him.

The fierce battle caused strong fluctuations, sending waves and tidal surges across the surface of the water. Below the surface, a huge figure was about to emerge.

Sanjuan Wolf had been hiding deep beneath the seabed, avoiding detection by the Marines. After receiving Benjamin's message, he began to slowly rise to the surface.

"Captain, we're about to enter the Whitebeard Pirates' area."

"Keep this speed and continue advancing. Open all protective shields and prepare to unleash all our powerful weapons once we're close. Aim to cause the greatest damage to the Whitebeard Pirates, and make sure the crew protects themselves," the captain ordered.

"Yes!"

The fifth and sixth search ships drew closer to the Whitebeard Pirates. 

Enel watched the assault teams with growing frustration, as his lightning was not only ineffective but was being used as energy by the enemy.

This was a blow to Enel's pride, but he was prepared. If the warships got too close, he planned to defeat them from within the protective shield.

Just as the warships were feeling confident, a massive shadow suddenly appeared beneath the water, right below the lead warship of the Marine assault team.

It was a huge hand. Sanjuan Wolf reached out and flipped the battleship from below the surface. Many crew members fell into the sea as a result.

"What is this? Captain, help!"

"There's something huge under the sea!"

As the crew members fell into the water, they screamed for help, but within moments, they were crushed by Sanjuan Wolf's massive hand and died.

The warship's protective shield wasn't perfect and couldn't defend against such huge force. The shield was weakest underwater, making it almost ineffective against the attack.

"No, be careful underwater! Launch the underwater torpedoes!" The captain quickly realized the underwater giant would likely follow up with another attack and gave the order decisively.

Several torpedoes were fired into the water, creating large waves. Due to Sanjuan Wolf's huge size, even without precise aim, all the torpedoes struck him.

There were continuous explosions underwater, causing Sanjuan Wolf some pain. He held his breath and said, "Damn Marines, you'll pay for this!"

Sanjuan Wolf began violently overturning other battleships. However, the ships behind were prepared. When Sanjuan Wolf struck again, steel chains shot out from beneath the battleships.

The tips of the chains pierced Sanjuan Wolf's skin like barbs, hitting him and also stabilizing the battleships.

"Did the surprise attack fail?" 

Benjamin asked, closely watching Sanjuan Wolf. He had hoped that Sanjuan Wolf's attack would destroy at least two or three battleships, but only one was overturned.

The battleships were more difficult to deal with than Benjamin had anticipated. Realizing it would be difficult to find another opportunity with them prepared, he ordered a retreat after seeing that Sanjuan Wolf's attack had not succeeded.

"It seems this is our only option," Jinbei said with some regret. He realized the Marines were fully prepared this time, and the chains seemed designed specifically to withstand attacks from Whitebeard.

"Sanjuan Wolf, return immediately. There's no point in continuing the fight with the Marines; you have no chance," Benjamin ordered.

"No, it's not over yet. My task isn't finished," Sanjuan Wolf said, dissatisfied. He believed he could do better and continue to overturn the ships with his strength.

Sanjuan Wolf didn't believe the Marines could defeat him. Their weapons only caused him minor pain and had no real effect. He felt no fear about the mission and was determined to make a big impact.

"Ahhhhh!" 

Sanjuan Wolf raised half of his body above the water, freeing his hands from the sea to avoid its resistance. This allowed him to use his full strength.

Sanjuan Wolf slapped two warships with his hands. In response, the captain of the assault squadron ordered, "Open the defenses and launch a full-strength attack! Hit him with everything we've got!"

Seeing Sanjuan Wolf ignore the retreat order and continue attacking the Marine battleships with his body exposed, Benjamin felt anxious.

"No, it's a real problem that Sanjuan Wolf isn't following orders. Jinbei, go and bring him back immediately," Benjamin said.

"Got it, I'll take care of it," Jinbei responded and quickly dived underwater. With his Fishman physique, he swiftly swam to Sanjuan Wolf's side.

"Sanjuan Wolf, retreat immediately! That's an order," Jinbei warned.

He then used his Fishman strength to create a massive wave, towering five or six meters high, and directed it toward the Marine battleships. 

The powerful wave, combined with the Marines' strong attacks, pushed Sanjuan Wolf back.
