Compared to the excitement of the Roger Pirates, the pirates under the Golden Lion immediately panicked.
"Shitā¦ Damn it, why did Ayr show up at such a critical moment!"
"I thought that by joining forces with Admiral Shiki and the Beasts Pirates, we could easily crush the Roger Pirates, but the appearance of the monster Ayr made our plan uncertain!"
"Damn it, what should we do now? I've long heard that Ayr was recognized by the World Government as the most dangerous pirate alive. Facing such a powerhouse, and the Roger Pirates together, do we even have a real chance of winning?"
Many crew members glanced around at each other nervously, cold sweat streaming down their foreheads as they looked at Ayr with terror in their eyes.
Although many among them had never personally witnessed Ayr's power...
This was the first time many were seeing Ayr in the flesh.
But Ayr's reputation in the New World was already earth-shaking!
"What are you all panicking for? No matter how strong Ayr is, he's just one man. In terms of numbers, we have the overwhelming advantage!!!"
"Even if Ayr's bounty is the highest among all pirates in the New World, you've seen Admiral Shiki's strength firsthand. I don't believe Shiki's strength is inferior to his!"
Despite the overwhelming fear felt by most of the pirates, a few still clung to their confidence.
After all, they had heard about Ayr's monstrous might, but had never seen it themselves.
As for the strength of the Golden Lion, they followed him because they had experienced it firsthand.
Compared to Ayr, they trusted the strength they had witnessedāthe Golden Lion!
ā
Meanwhile, aboard the Oro Jackson...
Seeing Ayr's sudden appearance, Roger's tense mood eased, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahahaā¦. Ayr, you arrived just in time! A little later and our Roger Pirates might have been wiped out here."
"I promised youāI'll settle the Golden Lion, and I'll make good on that promise too."
Standing at the bow, Ayr looked at Roger with a calm gaze.
"I knew you were a man who kept his word." Roger smiled slightly.
At this moment, Roger couldn't help but feel inwardly gratefulāsaving Ayr's life during the Battle of the Valley of the Gods had been one of the best decisions he had ever made.
If he hadn't saved Ayr back then, Ayr would never have come now.
"Save the formalities, Roger. After dealing with the Golden Lion this time, the debt between us will be repaid."
"It's up to you this time, Ayr!"
Ayr shifted his gaze away from Roger and locked eyes coldly with the Golden Lion.
"Shiki, didn't I warn you? I told you not to lay a hand on the Roger Pirates, didn't I, you stubborn bastard?"
Had the Golden Lion listened to him, Ayr wouldn't have needed to intervene.
His debt to Roger would have been cleared without bloodshed.
But now, because of the Golden Lion's ambition, Ayr had to get involved, and it truly annoyed him.
Hearing Ayr's words, the Golden Lion's expression darkened.
Two choices loomed in front of him: he could either retreat now with Kaido and abandon this operation...
Or he could go all out, join forces with Kaido, and attempt to eliminate the Roger Pirates and Ayr together.
Faced with these options, the Golden Lion fell silent for a long moment.
"Shiki, why are you hesitating? Don't forgetāwe prepared plenty of special weapons for exactly this kind of situation!!!"
From above, Kaido shouted angrily.
"Even with Ayr here, we're not going to lose!" Quinn roared, standing atop Kaido's massive head.
"You're supposed to be a great pirate, Shiki. Don't tell me Ayr's appearance alone scared you?" Jhin said coldly, arms crossed over his chest.
Golden Lion's brows twitched at their words.
The next moment, he suddenly recalled somethingāand a gleam of confidence returned to his eyes.
He laughed loudly.
"Jihahaha... That's right, Kaido! I almost forgotāwe're fully prepared for this!"
Indeed, for this operation, they had prepared bullets crafted from seastone!
Long ago, Quinn had developed the technology to forge seastone into weapons.
And recently, they had successfully mass-produced seastone bulletsāspecifically designed to suppress Devil Fruit users!
Although they didn't know exactly what kind of Devil Fruit Ayr possessed...
They knew without a doubt that Ayr was a powerful Devil Fruit user!
After all, in this world, no one could wield such monstrous abilities without the power of a Devil Fruit.
Thus, they were fully preparedānot only with seastone bullets, but also by luring the battle close to the sea itself!
Whether by shooting Ayr with seastone bullets or forcing him into the ocean...
Either way, if Ayr lost his Devil Fruit powers, he would lose the fight.
The Golden Lion fixed his sharp gaze on Ayr and said coldly:
"Ayr, you're strong, but... the winner of this battle will be us!"
Golden Lion had made up his mind to fight both Roger and Ayr!
If they won today, he would become the undisputed ruler of the New World!
As for defeat... Golden Lion refused to even consider the possibility!
"Really? I'm curious what gives you such confidence to think you can win," Ayr replied calmly.
Ayr possessed too many terrifying powers.
Even without relying on the Ten Tails, Ayr's other abilities were more than enough to annihilate armies.
Golden Lion and the othersāAyr didn't even take them seriously.
"Don't underestimate me, Ayr!" Golden Lion snarled coldly.
Since the Battle of the Valley of the Gods, the Golden Lion had relentlessly recruited powerful pirates across the New World.
He had honed his swordsmanship and further developed his Fuwa Fuwa no Mi (Float- Float Fruit) powers.
Today, his strength ranked among the apex in the New World!
"Enough talk, Shikiālet's start this war already!" Kaido roared.
Kaido was never a man of patience.
His greatest pleasure was waging war.
And now, gathered in this sea area, were four great forcesā
Whichever side won here...
Would utterly reshape the balance of the world!!!
Of course, Kaido dared to push for battle so brazenly because he had full confidence in himself.
And thanks to the seastone weapons, he believed their victory was inevitable!
