"Power Braking!"
Renedia's hands sparked with electricity as she slammed them onto the deck, causing the Death Star to accelerate directly towards the three warships.
Under normal circumstances, the ship could evade the warships' cannon fire and approach, but with this ability, it happened much faster.
Boom!!
Before the three warships could adjust their angles, the Death Star, surpassing the specifications of a fleet warship, crashed into the angled bow of one of the warships, denting its hull and sending wood fragments and iron plating flying.
The materials used for this ship are certainly beyond those of standard warships, so the heavy impact does not damage the Death Star at all.
Renedia extended her tool hammer into a long sheep horn hammer and leaped down from the front of the deck, rapidly sweeping it across the navy gathered on the deck.
Boom!
Fueled by power, the hammer face instantly unleashed a burst of force, sweeping the front line of the navy off their feet and into the sea.
Renedia landed on the deck, baring her small tiger teeth, "Smash their teeth to bits!"
Apart from the unfortunate ones stunned by Sage, the remaining five hundred pirates drew their weapons and leaped towards the warships.
The Navy Headquarters warships were not fleet warships but iconic patrol warships of the Grand Line, with standard personnel above three hundred. With three warships, there were about a thousand, facing five hundred pirates...
"The advantage is ours."
Sage emerged from the captain's cabin with a wine glass, perched at the deck's edge, overlooking the battle below.
His perspective had become obstructed, so he came out to watch.
"Starry Sky Pirate Flag! Black Ship! It's Disaster Pirates!"
"It's the Disaster Pirates!!"
The navy noticed Sage above and raised their long flintlock guns, ready to pull the trigger.
Screech!
Thump!
Just then, the front line of flintlock rifles was severed, a cold flash slicing through and blood spraying from the navy's chests.
Lily appeared at the side of the navy, her footsteps barely touching the ground before she vanished, her hand wielding White Lightning like a bolt of lightning. She rapidly slashed through another line of navy, cutting open their chests and spilling blood.
Five hundred pirates clashed head-on with the gathering navy, a cacophony of clashing swords and gunfire ensued, and both sides were entwined in battle.
Sage watched them engage in battle, gently rocked his wine glass, took a sip, and remarked, "Oh... quite impressive, these Headquarters navy."
The slave workers from the Bridge Kingdom endured maximum physical labor daily, transporting building materials beyond their strength. Any mistake resulted in punishment, and the climate on the massive bridge was bitter cold.
Those who could survive under such conditions and were still able-bodied to jump onto the ship when Sage arrived were naturally extraordinarily resilient.
Nonetheless, they found themselves merely equal against these navy forces.
Sage vaguely recalled that the basic training for navy recruits at Headquarters involved two thousand push-ups, about a hundred rope climbs, a two-hundred-circle long run within an hour, grinding their bodies to exhaustion, and continuing combat training until they collapse.
Their training volume was not insignificantly small.
Three hundred personnel per warship, but there were three here, and as they engaged, the other two warships closed in, side-to-side, allowing navy reinforcements to flood in.
The numbers seemed a bit daunting.
However...
"If battles at sea simply rely on numbers, wouldn't that be too naive?" Sage smiled faintly.
"Fire!"
A navy captain leading the navy troops just reached the battleground and was about to issue an order when a shadow swiftly struck.
Boom!!
The object slammed into the navy captain's chest, unleashing a massive force, sending him crashing into the navy behind him, spilling debris and falling below deck.
Marika smiled gently, tossing another solid projectile from her hand, its immense power transforming it into a shadow that smashed into the approaching navy troops, like a powerful bowling strike, scattered the approaching troops, crashing into deck structures or being flung into the sea.
"Ah, one at a time, please. If the numbers are too high..."
Watching the navy troops continue to charge, Marika embraced the thick mast. With a single breath, a muffled sound was heard, and the mast was pulled from the base, cradled in her arms.
This sight made the advancing navy halt in disbelief, gritting their teeth.
"That's just not fair!"
Boom!!
The massive mast hurled forward like a colossal spear, its tip thrusting into the navy ranks, scattering a large contingent of navy.
Elsewhere, ten navy soldiers surrounded Gin, attacking with swords or thrusts.
"Kami-e."
Gin's body moved like paper, evading all attacks with the force of blades. His body straightened and, wielding a cane with iron balls, swung it in a circular motion. The iron balls struck their heads, bringing them to the ground.
Simultaneously, he lowered his body and charged like a leopard, his footsteps landing multiple times on the deck, increasing his speed. He charged quickly to a navy squad, swinging the iron balls with the cane's circular motion, delivering a powerful strike.
Bang!!
The ground cracked with a large indentation, the navy squad sent flying in all directions.
Bang bang bang!
A navy squad fired, aiming forward, only to hit a round iron shield, sparking out.
Pearl brushed his moon-shaped hair bangs, laughing heartily, "Give up, you can't harm me. I'm the handsome man, the invincible man, I'm Pearl the Absolute Defense!"
"Die!"
Two navy soldiers attacked from behind, striking his unshielded neck.
"Tekkai."
Clang!
The blade struck as though it met iron, unable to penetrate.
"Heh heh heh, did you think I only had a shield? My body is also very strong now!"
Pearl bared his teeth, swinging his fist with the small round shield, striking the two navy soldiers on the head, knocking them unconscious.
"I'm the invincible Pearl!"
He spread his limbs, flicking several Firefly Stones from his fingers, causing flames to ignite across the deck.
"I'm also the fiery Pearl! How's that, pretty cool, right!"
Bang!
The sheep horn hammer struck the back of his head forcefully, making him spew blood and his head crash into the deck.
"Re-Re-Redenia-sama..."
He struggled to lift his head, looking pitifully at Renedia, who had attacked him.
"You fool!"
Renedia angrily exclaimed, "Why use fire?! What if the ship catches fire, we're still on board! You idiot, want Sage's plundering plan to fail? Quickly dip your head into seawater, let the parasites crawl in, maybe after eating away your brain, you'll be a bit clearer!"
"Su-Sumi-masen!" Pearl shouted.
Sage took another sip of wine, looking at the navy advancing amidst the pirates, having just taken down some pirates and approaching his way.
The navy wore a Justice cape on his back, and judging from the aura, his position wasn't low.
Sage glanced at Lily and a few other officers, chuckling, "Well, don't disappoint me."
