Above the clouds, on an unknown Sky Island, some people were hunting down the Millennial Dragons. Many small boats were released into the sea from two large ships, and the people on them were charging towards the Millennial Dragons while carrying specially crafted harpoons.

There are individual differences between races, and Millennial Dragons are no exception. The probability of the Millennial Dragons living in the East Blue encountering danger is the smallest as the strength of their prey is weak, which leads to their overall strength being lower.

But this is the New World, and the dangerous climate forces its inhabitants to evolve to become stronger in order to adapt to the ever-changing weather. The climate here affects not only the Blue Sea, but also the White Sea in the sky.

Even though these Millennial Dragons live in the sky, their strength far surpasses that of their brethren living in East Blue.

Although they do not possess any special abilities, these Millennial Dragons are much stronger in terms of speed, power, and physical strength compared to their brethren living in East Blue.

And this has made the hunting operation even more difficult for these people.

Originally, their goal was to capture these Millennial Dragons alive, as live ones are worth more than dead ones. However, Millennial Dragons were not willing to be caught without putting up a fight; even the domestic geese from one’s backyard would run around and elude capture, let alone these creatures with “dragon” in their names.

Millennial Dragons are usually scattered in the form of small tribes throughout various sea areas. Only once every thousand years, when Warship Island emerges from the sea, do all the Millennial Dragons from around the world gather together.

There aren’t many Millennial Dragons here, only a dozen or so scattered around, and among them are several young Millennial Dragons.

With their wings, they have the advantage of flight and theoretically, they have the ability to escape from here. However, the reality is much more complicated. The Organ Dealing Assassination Group has captured several Millennial Dragons, and this has enraged the other Millennial Dragons, causing them to choose to fight instead of flee.

In addition, Millennial Dragons have a strong sense of territoriality. Faced with these invaders, they did not choose to simply flee, but instead fought to protect their homes.

The bodies of the Millennial Dragons and the broken ships that fell into the Blue Sea serve as the evidence of the battle.

“These guys are really stupid. Wouldn’t the loss be smaller if they just ran away?”

“Well, they are after all just beasts. Even if they are called Millennial Dragon, they are just slightly rarer beasts. Is there anything wrong with that?”

“Of course, that’s fine. But in that case, a lot of preparation will go to waste.”

“Don’t worry about that, quickly send people down to salvage the bodies. Sea Clouds here are too thin, and those bodies have fallen straight back down below.”

The dead people meant nothing to him. New World has no shortage of manpower. But losing the body of a Millennial Dragon would be a huge loss.

“We sent someone already. Don’t worry.”

At this moment, a Millennial Dragon suddenly charged out from below the Sea Clouds, overturning one of the small boats that they had sent out.

Millennial Dragons in this area prey on Sky Fish and are able to move around in the Sea Clouds for short periods of time. The long hair on their bodies doesn’t get wet when they enter the Sea Clouds, but instead forms a special membrane that keeps the water out and reduces resistance.

The people on the boat looked at the Millennial Dragon that had emerged with eyes full of money symbols. Due to hype, a single piece of dragon bone could fetch a fortune. [TN: Nami’s eyes!]

If eating the dragon bones didn’t work, it must be because of not using them the right way. It can’t be a problem with the bones themselves.

Moreover the dragon bones could be sold for sky-high prices, not to mention dragon blood and dragon meat. This group was best at trafficking organs, and a Millennial Dragon’s body was a treasure trove to them.

“You guys, go catch it! Can’t believe there are other Millennial Dragons coming out to die!”

Several small boats approached, but before they could take action, a current broke through the Sea Clouds and surged upwards, bringing with it another ship that had been sent out to salvage the dragon corpses earlier.

Their way of descending was unique. They first removed the Coating on the ship to dive, and after breaking through the Sea Clouds, opened a giant parachute to safely land. However, when they were halfway down, they encountered Arceus, who was controlling the Knock Up Stream.

“Everyone, let these people know our power!”

This situation doesn’t need much explanation. It’s clear that they are on the same side as the Millennial Dragons. Since the enemy is clear, there is no need for further justification to start a battle.

Arceus was right behind them, and Babanuki’s experience was still vivid in their minds. They were all ordinary members, but Babanuki had been promoted to a junior officer because of his Super Strength skill.

Higher status, powerful abilities, who wouldn’t want those things? While they might get a bad draw from the lottery, pleasing Arceus could potentially lead to gaining even stronger abilities.

Despite their objective being treasure hunting, they were armed to the teeth with weapons. After the order to attack was given, they exhibited absolute firepower suppression.

Although they only had one ship, the range of their artillery was almost one-third larger than that of the other side.

On the sea, artillery battles are always an essential part, whether you’re a Marine or pirate. There are only a few people who can produce destructive power that surpasses that of a cannon with human strength.

And for most people, the intimidation of artillery shells is greater than that of human strength.

Since the last battle with World, where they ran out of artillery shells and had to resort to boarding the other side’s ship, some members of the Beasts Pirates seem to have developed a fear of insufficient firepower. So, every time they set sail, they load their ammunition storage to the brim.

“Damn it, where did these pirates come from?!”

The sudden barrage of bombardment left the Organ Dealing Assassination Group stunned. Despite having plenty of enemies, their current mission was extremely covert and they had already spent a considerable amount of time searching for a way to reach the Sky Island.

Why are they being attacked for no reason here?

Furthermore, there is an even worse situation. Their main goal is to hunt the Millennial Dragons and capture them alive. So, they were only carrying harpoons, nets, and potent tranquilizers, and the number of artillery shells was only half of what they usually have, and they had already consumed a lot on the way.

Although they are not facing the same opponents, it is a complete reversal for the members of the Beasts Pirates.

They had indeed prepared many backup plans, but all of them were intended to target the Millennial Dragons. The unexpected attack by the Beasts Pirates had disrupted all their arrangements.

Furthermore, their personnel were currently extremely scattered, and they were unable to mount an effective counterattack for the time being.

To make matters worse, the Millennial Dragon that had been saved by Arceus earlier let out a loud roar and its unique roar was heard by the other Millennial Dragons in the gaps between the exploding artillery shells.

The message was clear – they are our allies who have come to help us.
