Chapter 498: War of Punks

The war finally breaks on the sea near Punk Hazard. A naval battle occurs with all the ships shoot their cannons at their enemies. Explosions happen all over the place, making the violent sea of New World churn up.

The Straw Hat Pirates also shoot their normal cannon while defending their ship from the incoming cannonballs. They are also preparing their big cannon for a big attack. Franky is pumping the cola energy barrels while Usopp still shooting their normal cannon.

"USOPP! GET READY!"

"ALRIGHT!"

Usopp gets inside the ship's head, followed by Nami and Chopper who want to hide there. Sunny opens its mouth, taking everyone's attention as a cannon barrel comes out of it. Leo goes to the back of their ship and tells the ships behind them to move aside.

"MOVE ASIDE OR YOU'LL GET CAUGHT UP BY THIS ATTACK!"

They hear him, but they don't move because they are confused. After all, the attack should be aimed at the front, so they don't know how the ones behind will get caught in it. Leo clicks his tongue and turns his arms into flame.

"I will burn you guys if you don't move now."

He points his flaming arm to the ship's behind, ready to shoot his flame anytime. Now the ones behind understand that he is serious, so they move their ships out of the way quickly. Leo puts off his flame and gives them a thumbs-up before going to the deck.

Shortly after that, the cannon barrel in Sunny's mouth and the one behind glow brightly, gathering everyone's attention. Doffy who is already in a bad mood frowns even deeper when he sees that. He doesn't know what the Straw Hat Pirates will do, but he has a bad feeling about it.

His executives also have the same thinking, so they warn their men. But it's too late to do anything already by now. The Gaon Cannon is ready to be shot and Usopp doesn't hesitate to pull the trigger.

*BOOM*

A bright light shot out from the mouth cannon. It releases a powerful air pressure, so it would push the ship back if they didn't shoot another strong air pressure from behind. That's why the ships behind need to get away or they would get caught up.nove(l)bi(n.)com

A great explosion is created by Gaon Cannon's attack. It destroys a few ships instantly and breaks a few more, making them sink into the sea. No one on those ships can defend against that shot, or to be precise, they can't even see it coming.

Everyone is shocked by what they see. That cannon is just too powerful. It can't be used many times, but this is enough to lower the enemies' morale and boost theirs. The ones who are not in the alliance are also glad they decided to not fight each other and focus on their common enemies.

The war gets even more intense, but the Donquixote Family gets pushed back quite easily. Doffy is ordering them to retreat. He wants to take the war to the island, so they retreat from the sea quickly.

Just like what Doffy wanted, the war moves to the island. The alliance enters the island and chases the Donquixote Family to the center of the island. They don't realize that they are being lured here, but they also don't have any choice other than entering if they want to win this war.

Suddenly after everyone gets onto the island, Doffy executes his plan. He makes his Bird Cage to trap everyone on the island. Previously, he planned to do it as a last resort, but he changed that plan and activated the Bird Cage quickly.

It surprises everyone, even those on Doffy's side. But they know it's their boss's power, so they are not panicking and become ecstatic instead. Their dropped morale rises again with the Bird Cage being activated.

Battles happen all over the place on Punk Hazard as tens of thousands of people are fighting. Doffy and the executives aren't fighting yet. They are going to the big lab facility that also becomes their base.

"Should I use that gas and turn them all into statues, Joker?"

"You will turn our men into statues too, so don't. They just have more numbers now, it doesn't matter at all. We'll still defeat them even though they have more numbers. We simply need to change our plan a little. Trebol, release the Chokers."

"Try it. You will lose before you can even kill me."

"Fufufufu, you will kill me? What a nice joke. You? Killing me? Seems like you learned how to joke too other than training so hard."

"I never said I am the one who will kill you."

Corazon smirks as he sees Doffy's smile gone. Doffy suddenly jumps high and a sword slashes on the spot he has just left. He looks to the side and grins again when he sees who it is before he stands on some strings in the air.

"Fufufufu, long time no see too, Law. Seems like the one Cora talked about is you."

"No matter who it is, I'll make sure today is your last day of having fun, Doflamingo."

"Ooh, so scary. Youngsters are so scary these days. Fufufufu, let's see how you will do what you said then."

The 3 of them are staring at each other intensely before they start to clash again. Meanwhile, the Straw Hat Pirates are still busy with the cannon fodders. There are too many of them here and they don't really know where to go without Law.

"They're like headless chickens, powerful headless chickens."

A black masked man is looking at them from the top of a high building afar from them. He has long blue hair and wears a long white lab coat. Behind that black mask is a too-familiar face. It's none other than Buggy.

He planned to not get any news about Straw Hat Pirates in New World. But his curious nature is too strong and he couldn't hold back. So he comes here alone to see how the kids are doing, especially Leo & Nami. He hadn't seen them for years, so he missed them.

When he arrived, the island had been covered by Doffy's Bird Cage. But it's not a problem at all for him. He just walks through the strings that chop his body apart. It's the 2nd time he does it as the 1st time was when he saved Corazon and Law.

If he wants, Buggy can cut this Bird Cage and save everyone. But this is not his war, so he won't join them unless it is truly necessary. Besides, he has another purpose here other than watching the war.

"SMILE, I wonder if an artificial devil fruit can also kill a devil fruit user if they eat it. Hmm, let's find a lab rat and try it."

Buggy plans to destroy SMILE to the core here. He can't let it spread after the Donquixote Family gets defeated. So he needs to destroy every piece and destroy the factory too.

"Caesar Clown, what an interesting name. Seems like he wants to compete with me as Clowns. Let's play with him then."
