Chapter 515: The Third Division Returns
Of course, this was a development even Ryuunosuke, the one who started everything, had never expected.
No one in their right mind would imagine that a pirate's live broadcast could shake the institutions of kingdoms all over the world.
Ryuunosuke certainly had not thought that far.
From the beginning, his only goal had been simple.
Pick up a huge wave of casual fans, convert that into reputation, and enjoy watching the numbers on his panel climb.
That was all.
"It really is satisfying watching that reputation climb this fast."
He was grinning foolishly at the panel when Whitebeard's voice rumbled beside him.
"Ryuunosuke, should you not be taking a look?"
"These Guardians and Evictors do not look like opponents your crew can handle easily."
"Hmm?"
Ryuunosuke looked up at the large projection.
Right now, Meliodas, captain of the Fourth Division, was locked in combat with Fuugetsu, fighting at King's side.
On another part of the battlefield, Escanor and Madara from the same division were clashing with Krul Bussurd.
Seeing it was the Fourth Division out there, Ryuunosuke relaxed.
If it had been anyone else, he might have had to worry.
But the Seven Deadly Sins were different.
Those lunatics could not even bring out their full strength until they had taken a serious beating first.
And even if they were killed in battle, it was not a true end for them.
Judging by the time, they should also be arriving properly soon.
"It is fine. Those guys like getting smashed first and then going all out," Ryuunosuke said with a smile.
Whitebeard felt a chill run down his spine.
What kind of twisted training philosophy was that?
He really could not understand this crew.
If you can win easily, why choose to torture yourself first?
"Boom."
At that moment, a colossal force descended from the sky.
A massive meteorite came crashing down from the heavens and smashed straight into the battlefield.
"Hahahaha! I did not expect to stumble into a battle at this level the moment we arrived."
"My Comrades, move out."
A bold voice echoed from within the dust and shockwaves.
For a brief second, many thought it was Navy Admiral Fujitora and his gravity powers.
But the voice did not match.
This was not Fujitora.
It was the Akatsuki squad, the Third Division of the Dragon Hunter Pirates, finally entering the fray.
In the next instant, the four fighters who had been brawling nearby flickered away and reappeared behind Yahiko with a teleportation technique.
The Path of Heaven stood at their head.
The four of them lined up respectfully behind Yahiko.
"We have stayed away from front line work for a long time."
"It is about time the outside world remembered our strength."
"Let us begin."
As Yahiko spoke, he opened his arms and unleashed a powerful Shinra Tensei that blasted him outward into the sky.
The other one then slammed his hand against the surface of the sea.
White mist billowed upward.
One after another, enormous summoned beasts emerged from the fog.
Every summoned creature radiated chakra and stood directly on the water, as if the sea were solid ground.
Because the entire Pain unit had been strengthened, the beasts they summoned had also grown to terrifying sizes.
The familiar two headed hound now towered close to one hundred meters high.
The chameleon's body stretched more than one hundred meters in length.
Even before counting their actual combat power, their size alone was enough to crush morale.
And even if the summoned beasts were destroyed, they would simply be called forth again in the next moment.
The battlefield was quickly swallowed by surging white mist.
Those who had been fighting were forced to break off their duels.
Even with powerful Observation Haki, charging around aimlessly in that dense fog would make the battle meaningless.
On top of that, the coordination within the Dragon Hunter Pirates was unnervingly smooth.
The Third Division had long been the force that quietly defended the very last line in the rear.
Now that they had finally been unleashed, everyone else naturally cleared the stage to give them a perfect battlefield.
…
Soon Doflamingo and his forces began to pull back from their respective clashes.
The Empress had already withdrawn.
Crocodile had also left.
Hawkeye was still somewhere behind, rowing that tiny coffin boat of his.
Moria, however, ran straight into Rikudo.
One commanded an army of zombies.
The other commanded an army of spirit beasts.
Their armies collided in an instant, and the fight between the two camps erupted violently.
Yamu, on the other hand, closed in on Moria himself.
Both men were pure offense, their attacks crashing against each other over the heads of the zombies and spirit beasts.
Yahiko and the remaining members of the Pain unit moved to block another path.
They spread out and completely cut off Feng Yue's way forward.
"Mr Feng Yue, it has been a long time," Yahiko said with a light smile, standing in his path.
Although they had never crossed fists before, Fuugetsu did not dare treat Yahiko lightly.
Anyone who could serve as a division captain for the Dragon Hunter Pirates could not be underestimated.
"Captain Yahiko," Feng Yue replied bitterly.
"I did not come here to oppose your Dragon Hunter Pirates."
"Why are you targeting me?"
He was almost in tears.
He had only come here hoping to take advantage of the chaos, maybe find a cheap opening, or even find an opportunity to get Jin out.
Before he could make any moves at all, the Dragon Hunter Pirates had already marked him.
Then he had been dragged into the brawl, battered by the Fourth Division.
Now that Meliodas and the others had finally stopped, the captain of the Third Division appeared right in front of him.
It felt like facing those endlessly respawning monsters that fresh parties came to grind over and over.
"The captain has declared you an enemy."
"So if you have something to say, you should tell the captain face to face."
"Universal Pull."
Yahiko did not bother talking further.
A tremendous attractive force erupted from him, ignoring Feng Yue's defenses and dragging his body helplessly forward.
"Water Release, Rising Dragon Shatters the Sky."
In the next moment, a massive water dragon surged up from the sea, wrapped Feng Yue completely, and carried him high into the air.
The spectators were stunned.
"He can control seawater?"
"That is crazy."
"Devil Fruit users are practically half crippled in front of him."
Onlookers all over the world instantly turned into self appointed battle analysts and commentators.
Feng Yue, however, was completely bewildered inside the spiraling dragon.
He was not a Devil Fruit user.
Sea water did not restrain him at all.
Aside from being impossible to interrupt, this technique was not dealing much damage to him.
"Boom."
A second meteorite came roaring down.
It smashed directly into Feng Yue as he was carried high in the sky.
The colossal impact crashed through his body.
"Gah."
He vomited a mouthful of blood.
One blow had already seriously injured him.
If this continued, he would be worn down and killed in the most humiliating way imaginable.
"Damn it, why is everyone in this Dragon Hunter Pirates crew a monster?"
Feng Yue had sensed earlier that Yahiko's raw aura was not particularly overwhelming, which was why he had dared to talk so calmly.
Now it was obvious that Yahiko's greatest threat lay in his strange abilities.
"However, when it comes to speed, strength, and defense…"
"If that is all you have…"
Feng Yue narrowed his eyes.
In the next instant, his figure vanished from the sky, dissolving into afterimages.
The next time he appeared, he was right in front of Yahiko.
A flash.
Blood sprayed.
Yahiko's body collapsed under his strike.
"Retreat."
Without hesitation, Feng Yue turned and darted away from the battlefield.
If he stayed any longer, he might end up pinned down and beaten to death by Ryuunosuke's monsters.
Even so, he was not without gain this time.
He had taken down one of the Dragon Hunter Pirates' division captains with his own hands.
"Universal Pull."
Just as Feng Yue thought he was about to escape, that same terrifying attractive force locked onto him again.
His body was yanked backward against his will.
That all too familiar sensation, that all too familiar voice…
"Wait… no!"
"Let me go!"
A moment ago, Feng Yue had been proudly thinking about having killed Yahiko.
But that familiar aura told him the truth.
What he had just done was nothing more than a joke.
