Chapter 154 - Chapter 156

Amell came floating down from the sky and landed in front of all the commanders. "You need to work on your motivational speech, Cal." He turned around and looked at her with a teasing smile.

"I understand, boss. I will work hard on it!" She answered seriously like it was a command. This caused Vash to facepalm himself. But now that Kaido had arrived his fighting spirit had been awakened once again. He glared at the three big ships approaching the island. He was having a hard time to hold himself back, something that Amell noticed, and he made a mental note to take a look at Vash's mental health in the future.

"Toshiro, do your thing now," Amell said and glanced at the blue-haired twin. Toshiro nodded and jumped off the ship and landed on the ocean. It froze as soon as he approached so he landed on the frozen water like it was solid ground. "This is gonna be fun," Toshiro said as a rare smile showed itself on his lips. He put his right hand on the frozen ground and immediately the entire ocean for miles upon miles started to freeze. It didn't take long until even the water around Kaido's fleet of ships was completely frozen.

"Damn it, they froze the ocean!" Jack that stood behind his captain on said angerly. King was also there, and he was a lot calmer than Jack, and he said in a serious tone, "It's Toshiro. He is one of the more powerful commanders. His fruit is even more powerful than Aokijis, so trying to destroy it will be a waste of time and energy." King feared Toshiro greatly for the sheer power behind his ice. It was common knowledge among the top brass in this world that Toshiro's power was more powerful than Aokiji's.

"What are we gonna do then? We are sitting ducks here!" Jack roared back at King. He hated feeling weak and he hated losing in any capacity. This is when Kaido started speaking and Jack immediately went quiet. "Walk across the ice!" He said in his usual ice-cold tone of voice.

"Won't that brat just unfreeze the sea?" Jack asked respectfully.

"No, he won't. Amell might be a bastard in all sense, but he is not a coward. He won't resort to cheap tricks like that." Kaido took a swig of his bottle of alcohol and then threw it to the side. "Get moving! We're going to WAR!" Kaido's voice caused vibrations to spread throughout his ship.

"YOU HEARD THE CAPTAIN, WE'RE GOING OVER THE ICE! GET MOVING!" Jack roared loudly so everyone on all the ships heard it.

"Aye!" Jack's crew yelled, and they were the first ones to do as commanded. The other ships were lagging slightly behind, but after realizing Kaido was looking around glaring at them all, they also joined dash towards the island.

"You two go as well! Kill them all, but leave Amell to me!" Kaido said to his two closest subordinates.

"Finally!" Jack ran and jumped down on the ice. "Leave this to me, lord Kaido!" King said and followed Jack. He also ran and jumped but instead of landing on the ice, he transformed into a large prehistoric bird and immediately took flight against his enemies.

"Amell... I don't care what I need to do here, but I will not leave until one of us dies. And I promise that it will not be me!" His voice was low and sounded very much like drunken mumbling.

The beast pirates were charging for their lives, but thanks to the very long distance between the two groups they weren't very close yet. Though this was only true for the foot soldiers and the weaker members, Some of them had already covered a large distance, and King was one of them. He had already covered the entire distance, and he only had a hundred meters left.

"Block this!" He opened his mouth and used his flaming breath attack. He sent an enormous stream of fire at Amell and the commanders. Amell glanced at his own berserker, "Guts, you're up," He said in a commanding tone.

Guts nodded and started gathering magic around his arms. Guts magic was a little different than the other commanders, his magic was the only one purely based around physical prowess. Guts magic power was also the only one that was visible to the naked eye. So when he started gathering magic, red energy started to appear around him. There was only one way to describe this energy, and that was raging, and angry.

"HAAH!" Guts let out a warcry as he slammed his hands together. From that, he caused a red-coloured shockwave to appear and clash with the stream of fire coming towards them. As soon as they clashed in the air, the two attacks that caused a massive explosion that forced the weaker people to cover their ears from it.

Down on the ice, Ginrummy, a headliner of the beast pirates stood wide-eyed after bearing witness to that clash, 'H-He matched King's attack by causing a shockwave with his hands, what a monster,' Her cautious personality kicked in and she suddenly felt much less inclined to just mindlessly rush into this battle as Kaido commanded. She glanced up at Amell and his commanders and suddenly felt an incredibly intense feeling of fear come over her, 'Are we dead?' she asked herself before taking a small unconscious step backwards.
