One piece: Establishing a Pirate Family

Chapter 251: The Beasts Pirates vs. the Rockefeller Pirates

Kaido hesitated.

The memory of Charlotte's devastating attack was still fresh in his mind.

But he couldn't retreat now.

His seastone mace crackled with Armament Haki and Flowing Sakura, and lightning coiled around the weapon like a living serpent.

With a fierce expression, he swung the weapon downward.

"Roaring Thunder Bagua!"

Kaido's mace rushed toward Charlotte's face with terrifying speed.

Charlotte remained calm, raising his Seven-Star Sword to meet the attack.

CLANG!

A deafening sound of metal clashing against metal rang through the battlefield.

Charlotte barely budged, while Kaido's forehead dripped with sweat.

The sheer power of the counterforce made his arms tremble.

Charlotte smirked.

As their weapons locked, Kaido's Haki surged, creating an oppressive shockwave.

Charlotte responded in kind, unleashing his own Conqueror's Haki, causing the air to distort around them.

The violent clash of their Haki sent shockwaves across the battlefield, shaking the ground and causing weaker-willed warriors to collapse.

Even Charlotte's own crew winced in pain, the immense pressure weighing down on them.

Fortunately, Barrett reacted in time. His own Haki surged, shielding Charlotte's crew from the worst of the impact.

But Charlotte's wives and children still struggled to endure the residual force.

If one of the pregnant women miscarried, Charlotte would lose his mind.

Kaido noticed Charlotte's protective stance toward his ship and crew.

A wicked grin spread across his face.

Instead of focusing his Haki on Charlotte, he deliberately directed the force toward Charlotte's ship.

That was the signal.

Jhin and Quinn, who had been watching the battle closely, immediately understood Kaido's plan.

"NOW! ATTACK THE SHIP!" Quinn roared.

The remaining three hundred Beast Pirates raised their weapons and charged toward the Poseidon.

A few Zoan Devil Fruit users led the charge, their animal forms tearing across the battlefield.

Esdeath's eyes flashed with icy killing intent.

"KILL THEM ALL!" she commanded.

The swordsmen of the Rockefeller Pirates leaped off the ship, drawing their blades.

Barrett jumped forward—only to be intercepted by a massive, masked figure with black wings.

"Flame Disaster, Jhin."

Barrett narrowed his eyes.

Jhin stared at him coldly. "Douglas Barrett… the Devil's Heir. Vice-captain of the Rockefeller Pirates."

Barrett grinned, flexing his massive, muscular arms.

"Let's see if you live up to your reputation!"

With a roar, he charged forward, his Haki-covered fists colliding with Jhin's blade.

CLANG!

A massive shockwave rippled through the battlefield.

Neither man backed down.

Meanwhile, Quinn was wreaking havoc among the Rockefeller Swordsmen Corps.

Every time he fired a laser, another swordsman collapsed, mortally wounded.

He smirked.

"WHAT'S WRONG? CAN'T KEEP UP?!"

But as he laughed, five elite swordsmen surrounded him.

Quinn gulped, realizing his mistake.

He had drawn too much attention.

"Damn it… there are too many swordsmen!" he muttered.

His expression turned serious.

With a mechanical whir, Quinn's massive body transformed into a full Brachiosaurus.

His cybernetic modifications activated, and he unleashed a barrage of missiles toward the swordsmen.

The battle intensified.

Esdeath and Caesar found their own worthy opponents among the Zoan users.

Caesar, in his long dragon form, hovered above the battlefield.

"DRAGON BREATH!"

A massive fireball erupted from his mouth, incinerating dozens of enemy pirates.

Esdeath's Holy Realm Sanction sword gleamed with frost.

Every pirate that approached her was instantly frozen, then shattered into pieces by a follow-up strike.

Meanwhile, the youngest Rockefeller children stood at the ship's railing, cheering.

"Big sis! Big brother! Watch your back!" Sif called out.

Robert, standing next to Caesar, pointed excitedly.

"Brother! Aim THERE! And THERE! You're missing the good spots!"

The little brats were giving battle commands as if they were generals in an army.

BANG!

Elena, Martha, and the other six pregnant women suddenly punched the kids on the head.

"Stop disturbing them! Back inside!"

The women grabbed the kids by their ears and dragged them into the cabin.

"Nooo! Mom, let us fight!"

The children struggled and whined, but their mothers didn't budge.

Toki, watching from the side, felt a pang of envy.

She turned to look at Charlotte, who was still locked in battle with Kaido.

Her face flushed red.

Charlotte, meanwhile, had been keeping an eye on the battlefield.

Seeing his crew holding their ground, he relaxed slightly.

His men had the advantage.

"BASTARD!" Kaido roared.

He had noticed Charlotte's split attention and was furious.

"HOW DARE YOU IGNORE ME?!"

Kaido swung his mace downward, aiming for Charlotte's skull.

But Charlotte effortlessly dodged, sidestepping the attack at the last second.

Kaido's mace slammed into the ground, creating a massive crater.

Charlotte smirked.

"Getting tired, Kaido?"

Kaido's face twisted in rage.

"I'LL CRUSH YOU!"

He transformed into his full dragon form, coiling above Charlotte like an enormous serpent.

With a deep breath, he unleashed a massive blast of fire.

"Boro Breath!"

Charlotte didn't move.

The moment the flames approached, he raised his sword.

His Haki-infused blade sliced through the fire, cutting the attack in half.

Kaido's eyes widened in shock.

Charlotte grinned.

"That won't work on me."

Kaido, still in shock, suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Before he could react—

Charlotte vanished.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared above Kaido, his sword raised high.

The blade crackled with red and green lightning.

Kaido's heart pounded.

Charlotte smirked.

"Let's finish this."
