Chapter 197 Navy's Plan
Facing Golden Lion's angry roar, Sengoku's face remained expressionless. If he were to act irrationally just because of his opponent's words, he wouldn't be called the strategist Sengoku.
His incredibly calm brain was rapidly analyzing the situation on the Battlefield.
"Garp, be ready to intervene at any moment. Although Golden Lion is weakened, he is not someone Borsalino and those three youngsters can easily handle!
If the situation allows, you can even kill him directly. As for Golden Lion's Ability, let the World Government worry about that."
Sengoku said in a deep voice.
In front of Golden Lion, Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Kuzan, after a brief Stand-off with Golden Lion, decisively moved. The three of them rushed towards Golden Lion's Place almost simultaneously.
"Captain!!"
On the Pirate Ship, looking at the Three Admirals of Logia Type rushing over aggressively, many Pirates on Golden Lion's Ship roared in horror.
Golden Lion looked down, his eyes narrowed.
Several Sword Light suddenly flew out from Golden Lion's Position, from top to bottom, enveloping the Navy's location.
Lion's Thousand Severance Valley!
Almost at the instant Golden Lion attacked, Sengoku moved.
His Form suddenly radiated golden light, and as his Figure swelled, he transformed into a massive Golden Buddha. Then, he lightly stepped on the deck and leaped into the Sky. The stern of the massive Warship was lifted by his enormous weight, and then heavily crashed back down.
Buddha's Impact!
The giant Golden Buddha leaped high into the Sky, and at the same time, his body, shining with golden light, made a striking motion. A huge Shockwave formed in his hand almost instantly. The enhancement of Devil Fruit Ability and Sengoku's own Power made this Strike incredibly powerful.
Amidst the surging Air Wave, the Shockwave was unstoppable, directly shattering the several Sword Light unleashed by Golden Lion Shiki, and the powerful Shockwave directly blasted a Pirate Ship not far from Golden Lion's Flagship into Wood Splinters.
In the Sky, Sengoku, with his back to the Sunlight, was as awe-inspiring as a Buddha, making it impossible to muster any Resistance.
Golden Lion looked up at Sengoku, and amidst the moans and screams rising and falling around him, he said with disdain, "Sengoku, have you finally decided to take action?"
"No!" Sengoku looked at Golden Lion and said.
"Your opponent is not me."
After speaking, Sengoku directly changed direction and began to attack the other Pirate Crews on the Ice Surface.
As the Top Tier Power of Marine Headquarters, he was completely slaughtering these Pirates other than Golden Lion.
Moreover, this Battle is not the Marineford performance match; Sengoku is determined to get the MVP!
"Now is not the time to be distracted! Have you ever been Light Speed Kicked?"
As the Words fell, a kick came from behind Golden Lion, aiming at his Head where the Helm was inserted at a tricky Angle. If this Strike hit, Golden Lion would definitely be Severely Wounded.
"Hmm?"
Just as Borsalino's Light Speed Kick was launched, a huge Mast that several people could encircle with their arms came crashing towards Borsalino's Position from the side. Helplessly, Borsalino could only turn into Light and disappear to avoid this Strike.
"Gyahahaha, you guys are really infuriating! Who do you think I am? I am Golden Lion!"
Golden Lion floated in the Sky, his Complexion also suddenly turning ferocious.
With the great Battle approaching and being ignored by Sengoku, he completely unleashed the Aura and ferocity of a Great Pirate.
Despite facing almost the entire Combat Power of the Navy, and even feeling that if he didn't leave today, his chances were bleak, Shiki still had no intention of escaping. This was his Settling Things Battle with Roger, and no one could stop it, even if the opponents were Garp, Sengoku, Tsuru, and the Navy's Three Supernova along with a large number of Elite Marine.
"Roar!"
"Kill them!"
"Charge!"
Accompanied by Golden Lion's arrogance, the Golden Lion Pirates suddenly roared as if they had been buffed. Figures ran and leaped from the Ship's Bow, jumping onto the Ice Surface and rapidly charging towards the Navy. The other Pirate Crews around them also gathered, obviously knowing that dispersing would only allow the enemy to defeat them one by one, and only by uniting could they have a chance to fight.
On the Navy side, seeing the Pirates gathering and charging towards them, they felt no fear, only roaring loudly to boost their morale.
Before coming here, they already knew what they were going to do. Almost every Navy soldier who came here had made their Resolve.
The tragic Atmosphere of the Battlefield instantly permeated the air. There would be no passionate blood here, because in this scale of War, passion is the cheapest thing. In the Battlefield, everyone becomes numb. It's either you kill the opponent, or the opponent kills you!
In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided.
"Boom boom boom!"
Cannon Fire roared, and huge Explosions erupted Instantly.
The sounds of Swords colliding, Gunshot and Cannon Fire, and shouts of Slaughter almost instantly filled the Battlefield.
Nicholas, who was silently observing from a Distant Place, felt no passion from the Battlefield at all.
Being an Observer and being in the midst of it are completely different Feelings.
There is no exciting Music that makes one's blood boil here, only painful groans, screams, and the sounds of Slaughter.
Only after completely defeating the Enemy is it time to vent Emotions.
In the Battlefield, perhaps in the previous moment, a Marine had slashed his Long Sword across a Pirate's Neck, but before he could pull out his Sword, he was shot in the Head by a Pirate with a Gun in the Distance. And that Pirate who had Head-shot the Enemy, before he could turn his Muzzle, was punched through the Chest by a Strongest Navy soldier.
It can be said that in this chaotic Battlefield, unless you are one of the small group of People standing at the top of the Sea, you may lose your Life at any time.
As the collision continued, both sides' personnel began to rapidly deplete, but the speed at which Pirates fell was obviously several times faster than that of the Navy.
Even though the Strength of many Pirates was obviously stronger than that of the Navy, the Navy had Sengoku, who was Ravage on the Battlefield.
It could be said that Sengoku, who had transformed into a Buddha, was almost a Battlefield meat grinder. Every Shockwave would take away a large number of Pirates. Even the Captains of the Pirate Crews under the Flying Pirates were almost taken away in a few moves.
Unlike the Marineford performance match, the Navy, with a large number of Elite Headquarters Vice Admiral and Rear Admiral cooperating, their combined Power was enough to crush any large Pirate Crew in the New World.
(During the Marineford War, the Navy's lineup was completely aimed at annihilating the Whitebeard Pirates. Garp, Sengoku, the Three Admirals, Elite Headquarters Vice Admiral, and 100,000 Elite Marine - with this lineup, what could a Whitebeard Pirates in a period of decline fight with? The reason why the Whitebeard Pirates were not completely annihilated was probably because of Monkey D. Luffy's sudden intrusion. It can be said that Monkey D. Luffy alone tied down more than half of the Navy's Top-Tier Combat Power: Sengoku, Garp, Kizaru, Aokiji, with only Akainu fighting in the promotion match.)
"Acts of Sin, I will never tolerate them! Scorching River Great Eruption!"
Accompanied by Sakazuki's Voice, a giant Magma Fist composed of Magma flew towards Golden Lion in the Sky.
"You are truly arrogant, Kid! Lion Majesty - Lion Swarm!"
Accompanied by Shiki's Words, he reached out and suddenly gripped the Ice Layer below. Accompanied by a burst of earth-shattering Rumble, the Ice Surface around Sakazuki suddenly surged, and five Lion, tens of meters tall and made of Ice, bit towards Sakazuki.
"Boom!"
The giant Magma Fist collided with the Ice Lion, and Instantly a large area of Steam formed, completely shrouding Sakazuki's Figure, making it impossible to know the Situation in the thick fog for a while.
Just as Golden Lion was about to turn around.
The Water Vapor generated by the High Temperature, accompanied by an Icy Aura, rushed towards him. Golden Lion's eyes focused, and his Form suddenly turned, about to jump away.
At this moment, an even more Sen Han Icy Aura suddenly swept in.
"Ice Age!"
A low voice simultaneously came from the Steam.
"Crack crack crack!"
The Water Vapor shrouding Golden Lion was Instantly frozen, and at the same time, Golden Lion, who was within it, was also frozen.
Almost at the same time as Kuzan provided Control, a Hell Hound composed of Magma broke through the Ice from below and bit towards Shiki, while Borsalino in the Sky also assumed an Attack posture.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Kuzan's brow furrowed.
"Lion Majesty - Imperial Palace Earth Roll!"
"Crack crack crack!"
The frozen Golden Lion clenched his single Hand, and then the Ice Layer covered by Ability quickly shattered, and rapidly gathered around him, then transformed into a huge Lion, violently shaking its Head.
It swallowed towards the Bug in front of it.
Seeing that the Situation was not good, Borsalino directly made a horizontal shift, pulling himself out of the Attack Range.
Sakazuki, who rushed over, was swallowed by the giant Ice Lion in an instant, and then heavily smashed onto the Ice Surface.
Instantly, the huge Ice Surface began to split apart, and Seawater faintly overflowed from the Cracks.
The huge Aftershock generated by the Attack also flung Kuzan away, rolling dozens of meters on the Ice Surface before stabilizing himself.
The moment he landed, Kuzan once again activated his Ability, re-freezing the shattered Ice Surface.
