one piece: gene extraction and fusion system-Chapter 214: The Crow’s Domain

Doflamingo came and went quickly.

He said he had other matters to handle in the New World, and after exchanging a few words, he departed without staying long.

The Black Crow Pirates' ship continued sailing across the vast sea.

Two days later—

Finally, an island appeared on the horizon, catching Mio's attention.

"Crow Island. Are you planning to use this as your base?" asked Hawkeye, standing beside Mio. The island in view resembled a black crow from the sky—a fitting look for the Black Crow Pirates.

"That's right." Mio nodded with a grin. "It suits us perfectly, don't you think? And with a base, we can start building our strength properly."

"But it looks like taking this island won't be as simple as walking in," Hawkeye said with a chuckle.

"Just a bunch of nobodies," Mio said flatly, his expression filled with disdain.

He wasn't bluffing.

Docked along the shore ahead were nearly ten pirate ships. Though they hadn't made a move yet, under the sweep of Mio's Observation Haki, he could clearly sense their intentions. The pirates were grinning, their eyes filled with bloodlust and excitement at the sight of Mio's ship.

Clearly, they were not here to surrender.

"They're here because we've been making waves lately," Mio said calmly. "Even though our strength is becoming known, there are always reckless idiots who want to step on others to rise to fame. In this era, defeating us would mean taking our name and position for themselves."

"So they're just waiting here for us to arrive?" Robin asked slowly. Though still young, he had sharp instincts and clearly understood the enemy's motive.

"It looks like this group belongs to the Jackal Fleet," Erica said as she handed a bounty poster to Mio, identifying the opposing force. "They're a pirate fleet from the New World, led by Hound Kasai Rei, captain of the Jackal Pirates. He's a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user and a physically dominant fighter. He hunts down pirates in the New World to seize their supplies and grow stronger. His bounty is 710 million."

"Just another loud dog," Hei Yan said coolly, his eyes showing nothing but contempt.

"Need a hand?" Hawkeye asked Mio, his gaze calm. Though he wouldn't join the Black Crow Pirates, as a friend, he was willing to lend his sword if necessary.

"No need." Mio shook his head, rejecting Hawkeye's offer. "They're nothing we can't handle."

"Hei'er."

Mio spoke softly, calling out.

High on the ship's flagpole, Hei'er slowly raised his head. His eyes gleamed with cold light as he turned toward the island. Then, he let out a sharp, piercing cry that swept across the sea like a wave.

At that moment, all eyes turned to him.

Hei'er spread his wings and took to the sky.

On the shoreline of Crow Island, the enemy was already preparing.

At the forefront stood Ge Xiling, eyes gleaming with excitement. Grinning wildly, he shouted to his men, "Brothers! If we take down the Black Crow, we'll be famous across the New World! Maybe we'll even rival that old man Whitebeard! Pick up your weapons! When I give the signal, we charge!"

Among pirates, there's never a shortage of ambition.

Ge Xiling was just that kind of man.

He believed that by killing Black Crow, he would inherit his reputation and influence, claiming his place among the New World's top pirates.

Wealth, women, status—he saw it all within reach.

And with nearly a thousand pirates under his command, he was confident in their strength.

But then—

"Boss, something's not right," one of his men said, his voice trembling.

The pirate looked up at the sky.

At some point, it had darkened.

Screams suddenly echoed from within the island.

Ge Xiling turned and looked behind him.

What he saw widened his eyes in shock.

From the island, thousands upon thousands of crows had taken flight, blotting out the sky in a great dark mass. Their combined cries shrieked through the air, harsh and unbearable. So many had gathered that the sun itself seemed to vanish behind them.

Hei'er let out another screech, his body surging with scarlet demonic power as he flew higher into the sky.

A moment later—

A terrifying sight unfolded.

The crimson aura that surrounded Hei'er suddenly spread like wildfire, covering crow after crow. Each was shrouded in this eerie power, as if donning armor made of demonic flames, their bodies radiating blistering heat.

Before long, the sky, once dark with their feathers, turned a menacing scarlet.

Hei'er cried out again.

His wings flapped violently.

His eyes glinted with icy command, directing the crows like a true sovereign of death.

And then, he dove.

Thousands—no, tens of thousands of crows, now clad in demonic flame, plunged toward the Jackal Fleet on the shore like a living storm.

Screams erupted.

One crow swooped past a pirate, and immediately flames burst across the man's body. He didn't even have time to scream before his flesh was charred into nothing but bone.

The horrifying scene struck terror into all who witnessed it.

"So this is Lord Hei'er's power? Unbelievable..." Araki gulped hard, stunned by the display.

"Hahaha! Those idiots thought they could take on Lord Hei'er? Let them burn!"

"What a glorious sight! Burn them all to ash!"

On the Black Crow ship, some pirates laughed maniacally while others stood in awe.

Because this...

This was a spectacle.

Countless crows, all wearing armor formed from demonic energy, tearing through the enemy ranks. Even with a thousand pirates, the Jackal Fleet was no match for the sheer numbers.

And these weren't just regular crows.

They were infused with Hei'er's demonic power. Once touched, their flames ignited, burning everything. Even if a pirate managed to kill one or two, there were always hundreds more.

Crow Island itself was a crow's nest.

No one knew exactly how many resided there.

But at a glance—at least 100,000.

That number alone was overwhelming.

But what was truly terrifying—

Was that Hei'er's power could reach every single one of them.

A force that could command such numbers...

It made one's scalp crawl with fear.
