One Piece: New Order

Chapter 402 402: Doberman's Death (In the Name of Justice)

Early morning.

New World, Totto Land waters.

Oven and Daifuku found the latest map and studied the Marine deployment. After identifying a weaker section in the blockade, they led the gathered pirates toward that direction with a fleet of dozens of ships.

But not long after setting out, they spotted a panicked figure frantically flapping its wings in the sky. It was a Zoan Devil Fruit user.

A bad feeling instantly rose in both their hearts.

Oven snatched the person straight out of the air and immediately activated his Devil Fruit ability, soaring upward before violently dragging him down.

Boom!

The figure crashed onto the deck.

The Devil Fruit user, who had an eagle head and wings, was still dizzy from the impact when Oven grabbed him by the throat with one hand.

"Where did you come from? What's the situation outside right now?"

With all communication cut off, they had practically become blind. They desperately wanted information from the outside world.

The eagle-headed man was just about to curse at him when he clearly saw Oven's face, causing his words to instantly stop.

The man recognized him.

Fear immediately appeared in his eyes as he stammered, "O-Oven-sama! I'm one of Kaido-sama's subordinates!"

Oven slammed him onto the deck and shouted furiously, "I didn't ask whose subordinate you are! What I want to know is the situation outside!!! Speak!!!"

Only then did the man react as he hurriedly answered in panic, "It's over. Everything is over. Wano has been destroyed. Nothing is left. The Marines have started attacking. Marines are everywhere. I already changed directions three times, but every route was blocked by the Marines. And not far behind us right now, there are... there are Marines too!!!!"

Hearing this, Oven's pupils suddenly shrank.

He instantly rushed to the railing and looked into the distance. Far away, dense black dots were beginning to appear on the horizon.

He could not stop himself from gritting his teeth.

"Damn it!!!"

* * *

New World, encirclement fleet.

The areas surrounding Whole Cake Island and Wano were naturally the most dangerous battlefields, so someone had to take responsibility for attacking them.

On the Wano side, Zephyr had personally volunteered to go there.

As for Whole Cake Island, Doberman had taken the initiative and claimed this most dangerous position for himself.

Totto Land used Whole Cake Island as its center, with countless surrounding islands packed closely together. Meanwhile, the Marine warships moved forward at full speed, visibly devouring the pirates' territory and compressing the little space they had left to survive.

On one rapidly advancing fleet, Doberman stood at the bow of the central warship. His eyes followed the direction the birdman had come from, and he could vaguely make out a massive group of pirate ships in the distance.

A savage grin appeared at the corner of his mouth. "What a huge catch..."

As for whether he could swallow them all, that was never within his consideration. If he could not finish them off, then the fleets arriving later certainly could.

His mission was simple. Intercept them. Trap them here completely...

He pulled out the communicator hanging at his waist and pressed it. Weak static crackled through the device as his voice echoed across the fleet.

"All personnel enter combat status. Target ahead. All warships, advance at maximum speed. Lock these pirates down!"

One response after another rang out.

"Understood."

"Understood."

"Understood..."

Every warship began accelerating in succession, competing fiercely as they rushed forward, as though trying to see who could reach the battlefield first.

Standing atop the central warship, Doberman raised his binoculars and looked toward the leaders of the massive pirate fleet.

His expression darkened as he muttered, "Charlotte Oven... Charlotte Daifuku..."

To be honest, against those two, Doberman had no confidence in winning. But just because he could not win did not mean he would not be able to stop them.

Without hesitating in the slightest, Doberman turned and walked into his room. He opened the locked drawer and took out one, two, three… a total of six cylinders filled with purple liquid.

They were none other than Dyna Stones...

These had originally been prepared just in case, but now it seemed his precautions had truly been necessary.

Doberman unlocked every single Dyna Stone and attached them one by one behind his Marine coat. The "Justice" cape covered them completely, leaving no visible traces.

Then he turned and walked toward the outside.

But suddenly, as if remembering something, he stopped.

The room fell silent for several seconds before Doberman turned back, picked up the Den Den Mushi on the table, and dialed out.

Three seconds later, the call connected.

On the other end came Onigumo's voice. "What is it, Doberman?"

A faint smile appeared on Doberman's lips as he called out softly, "Onigumo."

Onigumo sounded confused. "Hm?"

But deep down, he already felt something was wrong, and a bad feeling quietly rose in his heart.

Doberman looked out through the window at the magnificent sea outside and smiled. In this bitter life, after reaching the very end, he realized he only had two or three true friends...

But that was enough...

Already more fortunate than most...

Lowering his head toward the Den Den Mushi, he slowly spoke. "After the war is won, remember to carve a gravestone for me and throw it into Totto Land's waters."

After pausing briefly, he added, "Use the best stone possible."

The Den Den Mushi in his hand suddenly tensed, mirroring Onigumo on the other side.

"Doberman! Do—"

Click.

Doberman closed the Den Den Mushi and placed it back onto the table. Facing the faint reflection in the glass, he adjusted his uniform one final time before holding the sword at his waist and walking out…

* * *

On the other side, Oven and Daifuku did not flee either. Instead, they commanded the pirates to charge forward.

It was not because they did not want to run. They simply could not.

The Marine warships were far too fast. They were visibly growing larger with every passing second...

* * *

Center of the Marine fleet.

Doberman stood on the bow deck and watched as the two sides drew closer and closer together. The outlines of Oven and Daifuku on the opposite side had already become visible.

His right hand drew the longsword at his waist.

Buzz!

Armament Haki coated the blade.

With his left hand, he picked up the communicator and pressed it down as his voice echoed across every warship simultaneously.

"Everyone! Do you see the pirates ahead?! Those are the remnants of the Charlotte Family! That is the pirates' final struggle!

"The Four Emperors are dead! Eight hundred years of suffering are about to end in our hands!

"On this beautiful sea, there should not be even the slightest place left for filthy pirates to exist!

"For the sake of this world, offer up your lives! In the name of Justice, raise your blades and guns!

"Fight until we sleep forever upon the battlefield!!!!"

Doberman took a deep breath, and his furious roar shook the heavens.

"Sound the horns!!! Charge!!!!"

The moment his words fell, sharp Marine alarms blared almost simultaneously across every warship.

Wooo! Wooo! Wooo! Wooo!

The shrill warning sounded like the call of death itself as it spread through the air and reached the ears of the pirates, causing all of them to stare in fear at the warships ahead.

The alarms screamed continuously, yet the ships did not slow down at all. It was as if they intended to ram straight into them.

Oven and Daifuku were equally shocked as they cursed loudly.

"Madman!"

The two immediately activated their abilities and charged toward the fleet, trying to break the situation apart. Otherwise, if those warships really rammed into the ships and sank them, then everyone here would die...

* * *

Center of the fleet.

Doberman looked at the two incoming figures and revealed a twisted smile. "Already unable to hold back? What foolish pirates..."

He stomped his foot and shot into the sky.

Both arms became coated in Armament Haki as he gripped his sword with both hands and slashed toward the crimson figure and the blue steam giant.

Slash!

Oven's heated wind punch was torn apart instantly.

The enormous steam genie was also cut cleanly across the waist, but it reassembled almost immediately.

Doberman did not pause. The sword in his hand, coated in Armament Haki, shot forward and pierced through the steam genie once more while he himself turned into a blur and charged straight at Oven.

Sizzle!

The sound of flesh being burned rang out.

Oven had originally intended to clash fists with him, but right before the collision, Doberman suddenly changed moves. His entire body hardened with Armament Haki as he grabbed Oven's arm with deadly force.

Even though his palms were burned cooked, under the Justice cape, the six hidden Dyna Stones cracked apart.

Doberman tightly locked onto Oven's wrist. The pain of his flesh literally being burned alive had already made him unable to think.

At the very last moment, he dragged Oven along with him and rushed toward Daifuku.

....

....

....

BOOM!!!!!!

It was as if a second sun had risen in the sky.

No matter what, Oven and Daifuku never could have imagined that the enemy would start the battle by dragging them into mutual destruction like this...

Just as they had said before...

A madman...

The violent shockwave swept outward and forcefully separated the pirate fleet from the Marine fleet.

But it only lasted briefly.

The scorching violent air currents carried gigantic waves that smashed both fleets away from each other.

Several minutes passed.

Before the sea could even calm and before the ships could stabilize, the piercing alarms once again rang in the pirates' ears.

That massive Marine fleet relied purely on the terrifying momentum of the warships themselves to smash through the giant waves and charge forward.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Countless cannonballs rained down like a storm.

The enormous pirate fleet instantly collapsed into chaos as ships scattered in every direction trying to flee, while the Marine warships closely pursued them with blaring horns aimed straight at the pirates…

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

One warship after another slammed directly into pirate ships.

Numerous soldiers gripped their blades and guns with bloodshot eyes as they leaped off the decks and jumped onto the shattered pirate vessels.

"KILL!!!!"
