At the heart of the battlefield, smoke filled the air, and the sounds of battle were deafening.
Hancock, Kuzan, Shiryu, Toki, Crocodile, and Dragon formed a solid encirclement, trapping the pirates within.
Each of them gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes fixed on the pirates, wary of any counterattack.
Toki's gaze was icy as she issued a final warning: "Lay down your weapons now, and we can arrange for you to enjoy a free stay in Impel Down's luxurious prison."
Kuzan stood beside her, his face stern, his voice cold:
"The situation is clear. Once the battle in the sky is over, you won't have a chance."
The pirates glared at these powerhouses with anger and resentment, their faces etched with despair and helplessness.
The pirates had no intention of surrendering, their eyes burning with fighting spirit:
"There's no need for words. We are the Beasts Pirates (Big Mom Pirates)!"
"The moment we became pirates, there was no turning back. And we still have the strength to fight!"
The pirates' voices were filled with determination to fight to the death, knowing that once they laid down their weapons, endless darkness and despair awaited them.
Only by fighting, only by holding on until the last moment, could they possibly see a glimmer of hope.
"What an indomitable fighting spirit,"
Dragon nodded slightly, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, but he did not relax his guard.
He knew that these pirates were not to be trifled with, each possessing great strength and unwavering will.
Hancock waved her arms, eager to fight:
"In that case, come on! Let's see how strong your resolve is!"
Shiryu licked his lips, the blade in his hand gleaming with a cold light:
"Let the final battle be decided here!"
Crocodile stood in the rear, coldly watching everything, his sand swirling around his body, ready to launch a fatal blow at any moment.
The battlefield plunged into chaos once more, with both sides clashing mercilessly.
Hancock's beauty was matched by her lethality, each punch and kick carrying unparalleled power, knocking one pirate after another to the ground.
Kuzan remained calm and collected, his ice abilities maximized on the battlefield, freezing large numbers of enemies and incapacitating them.
Toki's swordsmanship was sharp and precise. Although the scales of victory seemed to be tipping in favor of the Navy, the war was not over, meaning there could still be variables.
Shiryu's blade flashed, his speed and power displayed to the fullest on the battlefield.
Dragon's storm abilities whipped up gusts of wind on the battlefield, sending enemies staggering and unable to defend themselves.
Crocodile's sandstorm was like the Grim Reaper's scythe, tearing apart any enemy who stood in his path.
Although the pirates fought fiercely, their lines gradually collapsed under the combined assault of these powerhouses.
Katakuri and the few remaining officers led the pirates in a tenacious resistance against the Navy's attack.
However, with the addition of Crocodile and the Kuja Pirates, their high-end combat power was no longer dominant.
Now, they were struggling to hold their ground.
Everyone was giving it their all, but a sense of despair had begun to spread, and they knew in their hearts that the hope of victory was fading away little by little.
The pace of the battle quickened, the forces of both sides colliding relentlessly, creating deafening booms.
The air was thick with the smell of blood and gunpowder, and everyone on the battlefield was fighting for victory with their lives and beliefs.
Just then, a loud crash echoed from the sky, as Jin'an and Kaido's battle reached its climax.
The two figures collided violently, creating an earth-shattering explosion.
A powerful shockwave swept across the battlefield, sending everyone staggering back.
A glimmer of hope rose in the hearts of the pirates, knowing that if they could hold on until the last moment, the scales of victory might tip in their favor.
"Don't give up!"
One pirate shouted, his voice filled with hope amidst despair.
"For our captain, for our glory!"
Another pirate shouted, encouraging his comrades.
However, Hancock, Kuzan, Shiryu, Toki, Crocodile, and Dragon did not give them any chance.
Their attacks became even more fierce, as if to completely crush the enemy's hope in these final moments.
"You brought this on yourselves," Kuzan said coldly, conjuring an ice blade in his hand and instantly striking down a pirate.
"Let's end this," Hancock's voice was cold and merciless, her beauty becoming even more deadly at this moment.
"Let us send you on your final journey," Shiryu licked his lips, the blade in his hand flashing once more.
Toki's long sword sliced through the air, creating sharp sword qi that struck down the enemies one by one.
Crocodile's sandstorm swept everything away, completely engulfing the enemies.
Dragon's storm raged across the battlefield, finally engulfing all the enemies and completely crushing the pirates' last stand.
Only a few pirates remained on the battlefield, their eyes filled with despair and helplessness.
The battle in the sky was not yet over.
However, they could no longer resist.
Katakuri and the others were seriously injured, covered in blood and dirt.
They tightened their lines, the few remaining officers standing back-to-back, warily guarding against the Navy soldiers who had surrounded them.
Everyone's eyes showed fatigue, but they still maintained their final stubbornness and unyielding spirit.
Katakuri took a deep breath, feeling a sharp pain in his chest.
He knew that his injuries were quite serious, but he could not fall.
He glanced at Queen beside him, whose face was pale, clearly at his limit as well.
Cracker gripped his weapon tightly in one hand, while the other hand covered a wound that was bleeding non-stop, gritting his teeth and persevering.
Owen's forehead was covered in sweat, and his body was covered in wounds from the previous battle.
"Hold on, don't give up!"
"Mama will defeat all enemies!!"
Katakuri encouraged in a low voice, his voice hoarse but still full of determination.
The Navy soldiers gradually approached, their eyes showing a hint of awe and caution.
Although the Navy had gained an absolute advantage, they still did not dare to take it lightly when facing these powerful pirate officers.
After all, these people were the top combatants of the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, and a slight mistake could still lead to a fatal counterattack.
Katakuri knew the severity of the situation and felt a sense of sorrow in his heart.
They, who were once rampant and invincible, were now forced to the brink of despair.
He could hear the rapid breathing of his companions, and he knew that everyone had reached their limit.
