Chapter 383: Conflicts Across the Islands
boom!
Rumble!
The massive black shield sent dozens of soldiers in the front row flying, their screams of agony echoing through the air.
"Ah! Run!!"
Splash!
In that instant, someone shouted, and then hundreds of soldiers began to flee. Oren, hiding behind the soldiers, glint in his eyes, chose not to flee with them.
"Tch! A bunch of useless trash! You're scared off so easily? But now that you've already started, how can it end so simply?"
Slad looked at the panicked soldiers with a disdainful expression, and as he spoke, he slowly raised his right hand, palm facing forward.
"Cloud Shield - Thrust Arrow!"
As Slad's voice rang out, sharp arrowheads instantly emerged from the massive black shield that had been standing in front of them. The next moment, a dense barrage of black arrows shot out from the shield.
Swish!
call!
A dense swarm of arrows hurtled towards the fleeing soldiers, even stirring up a gust of oppressive wind.
"Ah!!! Help!!!"
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft...
The arrows, flying at breakneck speed, struck the soldiers' bodies in mere moments. Accompanied by screams and groans, the fleeing soldiers fell to the ground one after another.
The people standing behind Slard all watched this scene calmly, without anyone uttering a word of objection or showing any discomfort.
call!
As a gentle breeze swept by, the previously chaotic scene began to quiet down. When the shield that had blocked their path disappeared, a scene of utter carnage was revealed before them.
Within a hundred meters ahead, soldiers lay scattered, their bodies covered in blood. Some were already dead, while others trembled in agony, as if struggling for help, but all their efforts were in vain.
However, at this moment, Slad and the others did not focus on the horrific scene on the ground, but instead looked up at the only figure standing in front of them.
"Huh? Slad! Someone actually blocked your attack? Who is this guy?"
Dick, standing shoulder to shoulder with Slard at the front of the group, looked with interest at Oren, who was still standing in front of them, and asked in confusion.
"Hehehe! The fact that he can stand among these soldiers means he belongs to this orchard, but judging from his current appearance, he probably isn't the owner of this orchard!"
Slad stared intently at the now ragged Oren, nodding to himself. To survive his attack, and to appear to have only suffered superficial wounds, showed that this guy was no ordinary person.
"Hmm? If that's the case! Then let me test this guy's strength."
As soon as Slard finished speaking, Dick strode forward, his fighting aura gradually increasing with each step.
"Phew! Damn it! I shouldn't have come to join this mess! I never expected to run into the Cloud God Slard! This is going to be troublesome!"
Just before Dick took a step, Oren, battered and bruised from the arrows, kept his eyes fixed on Slad, who remained motionless, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
"Hmm? He's not making a move! Who is this person? Hmph! In that case, we can't just sit here and wait to die!"
When Oren saw that it wasn't Slad walking towards him, a silent sense of relief rose within him, mixed with a hint of anger at being looked down upon.
boom!
As soon as Oren finished speaking, he suddenly exerted force with his feet, charging towards Dick at lightning speed. The sound of his feet stomping on the ground was surprisingly faint.
"Hahaha! You're pretty brave! You just charged in like that without a care in the world? Come on! Let me test your strength!"
boom!
Dick looked at Oren charging towards him, an excited expression on his face. As soon as he finished speaking, he lunged forward.
boom!
boom!
The next moment, their fists collided solidly, and the shockwave generated by the immense force swept outwards.
At the same time that Dick and Oren were fighting, Verus, who was in the attic in the middle of the orchard, had already received information about the conflict.
boom!
"Bastard! How dare you kill my men on my turf! I don't care if you're a Devil Fruit user or not, you're going to die here!"
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Willus instantly flew into a rage, his furious roar echoing throughout the attic.
"Someone! Go and tell those lazy bums to come back immediately! My orchard has been invaded, and these good-for-nothing bastards are still out there having a good time? They deserve to die!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Verus's order, the subordinate who came to report immediately turned and ran out.
"Hmph! Damn pirates..."
After his men left, Verus didn't rush to the battlefield in a rage. Instead, he sat down, cursing and swearing, the anger in his eyes gradually subsiding. Then, he pulled a Den Den Mushi from his pocket.
Bubbles! Bubbles!
Click!
"Hmm? Verus? What's the matter with calling the Den Den Mushi at this hour?"
The moment the Den Den Mushi in Verus's hand connected, an angry voice rang out, causing Verus, who was about to speak, to frown deeply.
"Daro! What happened that made you lose control of your emotions like this?"
After a moment of contemplation, Verus slowly asked.
"Hmph! Get to the point! I don't have time to waste with you! You despicable bastard! How dare you attack the World Government! You're courting death!"
As soon as Verus finished speaking, Darrow's angry voice rang out again through the Den Den Mushi, this time seemingly not directed at Verus.
"Well then! In that case, I won't disturb you any longer..."
quack!
Before Verus could finish speaking, the Den Den Mushi was abruptly disconnected. Looking at the now silent Den Den Mushi, Verus fell into deep thought.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
A moment later, just as Verus was about to get up, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the attic stairs, and a subordinate ran up in a panic.
"Report...Report! Lord Verus! Three of the four captains are unable to return, they say...they're currently embroiled in a conflict with pirates at the casino..."
boom!
Before the subordinate could finish his report, he saw Verus kick the table in front of him away, sending it flying. The subordinate immediately shut his mouth, trembling as he watched Verus walk towards him.
"What did you just say? They're fighting with pirates? Pirates? Pirates again..."
Verus walked up to his subordinate, looking down at him with barely suppressed rage. He clearly sensed something was wrong.
"Yes...yes! That's what they said! I even heard fighting sounds coming from the Den Den Mushi..."
Facing the enraged Verus, the subordinate forced himself to suppress his fear and continued speaking.
"Damn it! Go! Take everyone and come with me! I want to see who these pirates really are!"
Enraged, Verus roared and strode down from the attic, issuing orders to his men as he went.
Meanwhile, in the western part of Wilmis Island, a once extremely luxurious casino was now completely covered by a sandstorm.
From the outside, the casino was almost completely obscured, let alone its interior. Accompanied by screams of agony, the entire casino was gripped by a climate of terror.
