Pirates: Usurping a Kingdom Is Surprisingly Easy

"Boom boom boom…" "Bang bang bang…"

On the battlefield in the West Blue, artillery roared, smoke billowed, and the sounds of battle were incessant. The Eight-Treasure Marine Corps, the official pirate force of Kano Country, and the Samurai Army, the official pirate force of Wano Country, had both dispatched more than half of their strongest experts to join this war for supremacy. Wano Country had long wanted to overthrow Kano Country and become the overlord of the West Blue.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot hold two tigers, and one sea cannot hold two heroes! They disliked the title 'West Blue Twin Heroes.' They wanted to be the overlord of the West Blue!

"Heheheh~, overthrow these crude warriors!" Daimyo of Kai, held a long blade and commanded his pirate underlings to continuously fire upon the Marines of Kano Country. Various cannonballs poured onto the Eight-Treasure Marine Corps' formation as if they were free. These pirate underlings and samurai, each with a samurai sword at their waist, now held firearms and cannons, firing wantonly with arrogant expressions. After experiencing the pleasure of suppressing with firepower and bombarding the ground, who the hell still liked to rush in with a blade and fight those Kano Country warriors to the death? After bombarding the Marines of Kano Country into a mess, they could slowly go up and harvest those crude warriors.

"Kill! We are the overlords of the West Blue!" Daimyo of Omi was equally excited, his eyes filled with fanaticism; he had long wanted to kill the bastards of the Eight-Treasure Marine Corps. The Hasshoken of Kano Country, with generations of development, had surprisingly become more and more effective against their Wano Country sword techniques. This was completely unacceptable! Kano Country must be destroyed, even if it meant spending centuries of the family's savings to buy weapons from the underground dark world, they would not hesitate.

"Use all the plague bombs and gas bombs!" Daimyo of Suruga ordered his family soldiers with ruthless eyes.

In Wano Country, pirate samurai families occupied rich territories. Each territory had a Daimyo who commanded his own army. Wano Country had a total of 8 Daimyo, corresponding to the Eight-Treasure Marine Corps of Kano Country. The Shogun of Wano Country was sworn allegiance to by all Daimyo. In fact, compared to the King of Kano Country, the Shogun of Wano Country had slightly less actual power, because some Daimyo had already surpassed the Shogun in strength and influence. Unlike the King of Kano Country, who had considerable control over the Eight-Treasure Marine Corps.

However, after launching this war for supremacy, the internal interests of Wano Country were aligned, and they were unprecedentedly united. The entire nation had gone completely mad for this war of conquest. Even the smaller families took out their family reserves, frantically purchasing weapons from the underground dark world, hoping to snatch a piece of the pie in this war. After the war was won, they might be able to get a piece of territory and become a Daimyo. And the 8 Daimyo also wanted to double and redouble their own territories. As for the Shogun of Wano Country, of course, it was to expand territory, achieve hegemony, restore his power, and make these Daimyo obedient.

If they successfully defeated Kano Country, they might be able to turn Wano Country into the Wano Empire, just like the Goa Empire in the East Blue. He would no longer be a Shogun; he wanted to be an Emperor! He wanted to be the overlord of the West Blue!

Within the Kano Country camp, Chichilia, a pillar of the 2nd Treasure Marine Corps, hiding in the trench, cursed. The firepower suppression from Wano Country was truly terrifying now, almost comparable to a Marine's Buster Call. How many weapons had these crazy brats bought from the underground dark world? If this continued, and if they couldn't cut off Wano Country's weapon supply, he would even consider purchasing weapons from the underground dark world himself. After all, letting Wano Country deplete their own forces like this was too costly. It was just a matter of spending money anyway. If they kept the money now instead of spending it, would it become reparations after defeat, or the enemy's spoils of war!

"Chinjao, that guy, better find the source of the underground arms quickly." Chichilia's eyes were full of displeasure. Among the 8 great families of the Eight-Treasure Marine Corps, Chinjao's family was the most fond of saving money. Now, Chinjao couldn't even open his family's Treasure Jade Ice Mountain, which was truly embarrassing. The Eight-Treasure Marine Corps had lagged, leading to the war becoming even more chaotic.

"Father, the enemy's plague bombs are so terrifying! We must retreat," Uholia, the female pillar, who had a masculine appearance, looked at her subordinates turned into mummies by the plague bombs, her eyes filled with anxiety. If it were guns and ammunition, they could still hold on. But these plague bombs and gas bombs were simply unstoppable. Even experts who had awakened Armament Haki were struggling, let alone ordinary soldiers. The effect of these plague bombs was too terrifying. Even she, a minor expert in Armament Haki with a bounty of over 200,000,000 Berries, dared not touch these viruses and gases.

Where on earth did those bastards from Wano Country get these terrifying weapons? Such terrifying effects made them think of Queen the Plague, the infamous figure under the Four Emperors in the New World. Could these cannonballs be the work of this All-Star? Were the Four Emperors' Beasts Pirates going to interfere in the West Blue's war? If a Four Emperors force participated, then they would have to complain to the World Government, asking the World Government to teach Wano Country, that despicable country collaborating with the Four Emperors, a lesson and strip them of their allied nation status. But now, Chinjao and the others hadn't found any evidence, so they couldn't apply for help from the World Government. Of course, as the strongest pirate allied nations in the West Blue, they also didn't want to ask the World Government for help; it was too shameful and weak. They wanted to solve Wano Country themselves. This was the pride of their Kano Country.

"This is bad! Pillar, Don Chinjao has charged out!" Just as Chichilia and Uholia were preparing to retreat and preserve their forces, one of their subordinates cried out in alarm. A sturdy figure was seen, enduring Wano Country's artillery fire, erupting with shockwaves, and bravely charging into Wano Country's formation.

"Foolish!" Chichilia immediately cursed. This reckless commander was too rash. This would put the Eight-Treasure Marine Corps in danger. But they couldn't ignore this commander; they had to follow him in the charge. Otherwise, Don Chinjao would be ganged up on and killed by Wano Country's pirate Daimyo in minutes.

"Counterattack! Counterattack! Charge for me!" "Protect the Great Pillar!" Chichilia shouted frantically, and he himself led the charge, his fists enveloped in thick Armament Haki, blasting a bloody path through the artillery fire.

"Damn it, I'm going all out too!" Uholia cursed crudely, her fists also wrapped in slightly weaker Armament Haki, fearlessly charging with her father. The other Pillars, seeing Don Chinjao leading the charge, could only brace themselves and rush into the fray together. They had originally wanted to wait for Wano Country's artillery fire to weaken before considering how to counterattack. But now, they could only follow the charge, using their lives to unleash the fighting spirit and morale of Kano Country.
