Chapter 411: 412 Onigashima War 03, Katakuri Mission
"Hurry up, the battle has already started. Move all this gunpowder immediately!"
After Katakuri arrived on Onigashima, he quickly confirmed the battlefield. The fight was already in full swing, and the island was engulfed in chaos.
Katakuri immediately ordered his crew to start transporting kegs of gunpowder from the ship. Meanwhile, other crew were also busy giving commands.
A large number of gunpowder barrels were transported from the ship and piled up like a hill. Smoothie then asked, "Brother Katakuri, what should we do now?"
According to their original plan, the gunpowder was supposed to blow up the Beast Pirates' troops from the other side. However, it now seems they can't transport it there.
Katakuri and his sibling now saw countless beasts on the battlefield and many pirate ships around. They couldn't quietly set up the gunpowder near the battlefield without risking an explosion.
Katakuri pondered for a moment before decisively saying, "Set it up near the battlefield."
"But there are many Beast Pirates around. We can't do it quietly," Smoothie replied immediately.
"We split into two teams. I led Smoothie, Cracker, and others to distract the pirates and fight them. Perospero led the other team to set up the gunpowder. We need to catch their eyes away from this," Katakuri explained.
After the plan was set, everyone started to act on it. Katakuri led most of the elite fighters to charge into the battlefield suddenly.
Even though they were only on the outskirts, they immediately drew the attention of the Beast Pirates.
Some pirate groups were stationed nearby and immediately launched an attack on Katakuri and his team.
"Stay cautious and focus on protecting yourselves," Katakuri instructed everyone.
"Our goal is to hold them off. There are too many of Beast Pirates; it seems endless at first glance. If we fight hardly, we will inevitably be brought down."
Smoothie agreed with Cracker and the other leaders, then quiicly dove into battle, fighting the surrounding pirate groups. Though not strong individually, these pirates posed a collective challenge akin to fighting an entire group alone.
"Now's the time. Let's move quietly," Perrospero instructed his team as they began discreetly arranging the gunpowder.
The arrangement of these gunpowder is also very simple. They didn't arrange the barrels neatly to avoid attracting attention. Instead, they broke open the barrels and scattered the gunpowder loosely on the ground.
In addition, they also spilled some gasoline along the way, but only in specific areas.
"Katakuri and his siblings are here? Looks like their mission's is going well. We need to keep them covered,"
Benjamin, in the middle of the battlefield alongside Aokiji and Enel, observed. There was no fighting around them for the moment, nor did it seem likely anytime soon.
If anyone attack Benjamin hastily, Aokiji and Enel will easily repel them.
Therefore, Benjamin had enough time to survey the battlefield. He noticed Katakuri and his sibling arriving and setting up gunpowder.
He decided it was necessary to create some commotion on the battlefield to divert the attention of the Beast Pirates, preventing them from discovering Katakuri's movements.
"Enel, it's time to cover them," Benjamin said to Enel.
Enel swayed his shoulders and turned his head. He clenched his fists in anticipation and grinned eagerly
"Yaahahaha"
"Finally, a chance to stretch my muscles."
Enel float into the sky, his figure hovering above the battlefield. Around him, dense electric currents crackled like a spider's web, emitting a faint blue glow when concentrated.
"Is he going to attack? Everyone, be ready!" Quinn said, eyeing Enel intently.
"On Whitebeard's ship, we doesn't have much information about this guy. I have no idea what kind of fruit power he has, but since he have same rank as Aokiji, that guy definitely not simple!"
Jack said uneasily. He felt unsettled by this unfamiliar and potentially dangerous opponent.
"The former Big Mom pirate crew members are here too. If they find out their Mother is alive, will they switch sides immediately?"
King observed as Katakuri and his sibling fighting on the outskirts.
"Hmph, they join Whitebeard pirates right after the war. I doubt they'd care about Big Mom," Jack scoffed disdainfully.
"Anyway, let's negotiate. If we can recruit them, we'll bolster our forces and weaken Whitebeard's," Quinn proposed.
In the end, Jack was assigned the task, while the other two dealt with Aokiji and Enel. Enel emitted a powerful blue current in the sky, intentionally charging up for what lay ahead.
A strong light to catch everyone's attention.
"Yaahahaha"
"Get ready for a power of God!"
Enel laughed arrogantly. He continued to unleash thunderbolts from the bright light, targeting the rear of the Beast Pirates.
Meanwhile, the battle between the Beast Pirates and the Whitebeard pirates intensified in the front zone area.
Enel's lightning strikes created small craters and injured people nearby. His lightning had a wide range, and he could control where it struck, leaving those affected unable to fight back.
First of all, Enel is up in the sky, and there is a certain distance between them. Therefore, many people know that Enel attacked them from the sky, but there is no way to retaliete.
"This guy… Damn it, he's the user of Rumble-Rumble fruit!" Quinn muttered secretly, realizing the tricky nature of this ability.
Lightning abilities are superior to others. The strikes cover a wide range, move swiftly, and can break through defenses effectively. Quinn and King knew this was bad news.
"Maybe he's not that skilled with his fruit ability. I'll fight him!"
King declared, watching Enel relentlessly attack their forces.
King, though not the oldest among the Three Disasters, was undoubtedly the strongest. Dressed in black with goggles, he exuded a stylish demeanor.
With that, he transformed into a flying dinosaur, a Pteranodon.
Seeing something coming towards him, Enel glanced sideways.
"Is this Ancient Zoan, Dragon-Dragon Fruit Model: Pteranodon?"
