Chapter 437 Tacit Agreement
All the Navy Officers were quite understanding of Sengoku's order.
After all, the Navy's current status was somewhat delicate.
If they pressed too hard, it would inevitably lead to Germa and the Beasts Pirates joining forces to attack them. If Mr. Nicholas hadn't appeared before, then even if the two sides joined forces, the Navy wouldn't have cared too much.
After all, Germa, lacking a Top-Tier Powerhouse to lead them, wouldn't cause too much damage to the Navy even if they teamed up with Kaido.
However, with the appearance of Nicholas, the situation changed again. A Top-Tier Powerhouse like Nicholas, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he could dominate the direction of a large-scale war.
After all, in One Piece, Powerful Figures can only be restrained by Powerful Figures of the same level, or suppressed by multiple Powerful Figures of the same level.
Otherwise, it is impossible to submerge a Powerful Figure with Human Wave Tactics. A Powerful Figure's Conqueror's Haki can directly clear the field, and even Captain-Class Officers may be directly knocked down.
And although Nicholas doesn't have Conqueror's Haki, if the Rumble-Rumble Fruit unleashes its power, the field-clearing effect will only be even more terrifying.
After all, Logia Type Devil Fruits are born for Team Battle.
So, the Navy is very happy to see Nicholas and Kaido fight each other first.
…
"Hey, King, the Navy guys have stopped."
Looking at the Navy Fleet that stopped far away, Queen, with a Cigar in his mouth, said to King with a somewhat ugly Complexion. Obviously, he wasn't brainless. Through the Navy's Action, it was easy to judge the Navy's Thoughts.
It could be said that they were prepared to go to War with the Navy, but after all calculations, they had overlooked a crucial point.
That is, a troublesome Weapon like Nicholas would appear in Germa.
Just…
King turned his head and glanced at Sengoku and others at the forefront of the Navy formation in the distance.
Now, there are not many choices left for the Beasts Pirates, and with Kaido's Personality, letting him run away is impossible unless the opponent can really kill him!
This is King's understanding of Kaido after following him for so long.
Although he was very surprised that Nicholas appeared in Germa 66, but Things have come to this point, and there is no time to reflect.
King stared at the Man standing on the Castle Wall of Germa 66.
"Wu ha ha ha ha——"
Kaido's loud and hearty Laughter spread throughout the Sea Area.
Nicholas heard Kaido's Laughter and calmly watched Kaido, who seemed to be brewing something.
Doflamingo looked at the terrifying Aura of Kaido, grinned, and sneered: "It's really exciting, what way will this Monster respond to Nicholas's Greeting?"
Hawkeye and Bear had Calm expressions. For them, there are very few Things that can cause their Emotions to fluctuate.
And Kaido, who was laughing loudly, suddenly stopped laughing, and then the Giant Dragon's mouth opened towards the Direction of the Germa War Fortress, and a scorching Breath gushed out from the Giant Dragon's Throat.
"It's coming!!!"
"Raise your vigilance!"
Seeing Kaido's Action, Judge shouted loudly, and hearing Judge's Order, all the Artificial Soldiers on the War Fortress had solemn expressions.
Under everyone's gaze, a scorching Breath with a diameter of dozens of meters and constantly expanding flew directly towards the Direction of the Germa War Castle. The Seawater along the way was evaporated, and even the Air became somewhat distorted due to the High Temperature.
Seeing the Breath in an instant, Judge felt Despair. This Degree of Attack is not something that the Germa War Fortress can withstand at all. Even if Artificial Soldiers are rushed up to self-destruct, relying on the Power of self-destruction, it is impossible to resolve this Terror Power.
And Vinsmoke Ichiji and his two Brothers looked at the surging Heat Breath and the scorching heat that was coming towards them, their eyes filled with shock.
Obviously, this is also an Attack that can easily destroy them.
The three Brothers really began to doubt Life at this time, and at the same time looked at Judge, after all, Judge said that they were the most outstanding Work of the Vinsmoke Family.
But no matter how you look at it, this most outstanding Work looks like a toy in the eyes of those guys.
"Boom—!"
The Heat Breath quickly crossed a distance of thousands of meters and arrived in front of the Germa War Castle.
"!!!"
"If we are hit by this estimate, I am afraid we will instantly turn into Ashes!"
"We are going to die!"
Feeling the High Temperature coming towards them, Vinsmoke Ichiji and his two Brothers calmly said terrifying Words. Obviously, before they were born, Judge had already used Technology to erase the Feel of Fear in their Bodies.
The scorching Heat Breath, like a Sea of Fire, enveloped the Germa War Castle, and the shocking High Temperature continuously turned the Seawater into Steam and rose up.
Just when Judge and others thought they could not stop this Strike and were preparing to rely on Tech Suit to evacuate the Castle Wall Top, a deafening muffled sound like an Explosion suddenly came from their ears.
Everyone couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound.
They thought that this Terror Attack would instantly destroy a part of the War Fortress.
However, in front of everyone's eyes, the surging Sea of Fire directly rushed along the Wall of the Germa War Fortress, rushing towards both sides.
This Scene is like an invisible Barrier blocking in front of the Germa War Fortress.
"What's going on..."
Judge, who was still in shock, looked blankly at Nicholas on the Castle Wall Top, who maintained a posture with one Hand outstretched.
Electromagnetic Barrier!
It was Nicholas who took Action to block Kaido's Heat Breath.
On the Warship.
Doflamingo looked at the way Monsters greeted each other and laughed excitedly: "As expected of the legendary Monsters, fufufufu!"
"But so so."
Crocodile, with a Cigar in his mouth, leaning on the Mast, watched Kaido's Heat Breath and slowly spit out a mouthful of Smoke and said.
…
In the distance, Kaido saw that the Heat Breath was blocked, and did not launch another Attack. Instead, he stepped on Flame Cloud and hovered above the Beasts Pirates Fleet.
Although he hoped to set off a War that would sweep the World, he was not a brainless Weapon.
He had been captured by the Navy many times, and he knew very well the Power of the Navy. If Nicholas hadn't appeared, then he wouldn't mind rushing through Germa 66 first, and then turning around to meet the Navy's 'painful Strike'.
That's right, he knew he couldn't beat the Navy, but it wasn't that easy for the Navy to kill him. If he wanted to leave with his flying Ability, who could stop him?
"Mr. Nicholas?"
Judge looked at Nicholas.
And Nicholas obviously understood Judge's plan, so he nodded.
Soon, Germa's War Castle began to move towards the flank of the Beasts Pirates, and their Cannons were aimed at the Direction of the Navy.
And King of the Beasts Pirates also captured the Information released by Judge. Under his Order, the Beasts Pirates Fleet also began to turn, and the Cannons were also aimed at the Navy. The two sides seemed to have reached a Tacit Agreement.
Obviously, as the Strongest Force in the field, neither the Beasts Pirates nor Germa 66 could watch the Navy reap the benefits from the sidelines.
Along with the turning of the Muzzles, Fuses were lit one by one.
Bang bang…!
The Muzzles of the Cannons spewed out flames, and Lead Bullets shot out from the Gunsmoke, turning into red Streams of Light, falling towards the Direction of the Navy Fleet like a torrential Heavy Rain.
The amazing Firepower instantly intertwined into a Firepower Net in the Sky.
"Hey, hey, this is too unreasonable!"
Watching the Barrage like a sudden Heavy Rain falling, many Marines on the warships showed expressions of Despair.
For Powerful Figures, the Threat of Cannons and Guns may not need to be taken seriously, but for these ordinary Marines, a Stray Bullet or a Solid Cannonball ejected can take away their Life.
"Great, great!"
Looking at the Barrage like a sudden Heavy Rain and the Firepower Net intertwined in the Night Sky, Kaido felt that his Blood was about to burn!
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 438 Air Strike
Whoosh——
Faced with this dire situation, where the Navy Fleet was about to be overwhelmed by the Firepower Net of Germa 66 and the Beasts Pirates, Kizaru, usually the most easygoing, stepped forward.
He had been standing behind Sengoku, his body transformed into beams of light in an instant, flying to the Sky right in front of the Fleet, and then reformed into human form.
"Hmm~~ So many Shells, this is really Trouble~~" Kizaru drawled, his hands, previously tucked in his pockets, were now forming the starting gesture for Yasakani no Magatama in front of his chest.
As Kizaru charged up, dazzling Radiance flickered before him, illuminating the Sea Area where the Navy Fleet was located, as if a small Sun had appeared above the Navy Fleet.
Only a moment later, countless Light Bullets shot out one after another from Kizaru's position, heading straight towards the Shell swarm falling like a torrential Rain.
The Light Bullets touched the Shells, detonating them instantly, causing violent Explosions in the Sky.
"Boom boom boom…!"
All incoming Shells were almost instantly detonated.
For the Navy, this kind of Cannon Fire battle was what they feared the least. For them, with Kizaru present, the Attack released from Kizaru's hands was the most unreasonable Anti-Air Weapon, enough to instantly defeat all the Firepower poured out by a Fleet head-on.
Just as the Beasts Pirates and Judge thought the Navy would take this opportunity to Attack, they saw an unexpected Scene.
Accompanied by the Sound of waves hitting the Hull, the Navy actually retreated.
"What is the Navy doing?"
Judge frowned deeply as he watched the Movement of the Navy. He didn't think the Navy retreated because of the apparent alliance between the Beasts Pirates and Germa 66, after all, the Cannon Fire from both sides just now hadn't even scratched the Skin of a single Navy Warship.
As the strongest force on the Battlefield at this time, every move of the Navy could be said to attract the Attention of everyone on the Battlefield.
Not only Judge, but many people in the Beasts Pirates also couldn't help but look at the Navy slowly pulling away.
"The Navy is retreating!?"
"What the hell are these Navy guys doing?"
The Pirates of the Beasts Pirates, who had originally thought they would be met with a terrifying Attack from the Navy, were all stunned as they watched the Navy slowly retreat.
"Could it be that they want to surround us!?"
Some Pirates reacted faster and directly stated their speculation. After all, in naval warfare, once surrounded, the side being surrounded would be in a very unfavorable Situation. Warships that had lost their mobility and Space at Sea were just living targets.
"Are you a greenhorn who just went to Sea for the first time? If the Navy wanted to surround us, their Formation would have already dispersed, instead of maintaining that kind of Formation!"
An older Pirate said angrily. These younger generations are really getting worse and worse.
"Although I don't know what the Navy is planning to do, what they are going to do next is definitely very detrimental to us."
Saying this, the older Pirate frowned as he looked at the distant Navy Fleet.
Far away.
Nicholas stared intently at the Navy that was slowly stopping, and then seemed to realize something, turning his head to Judge and said.
"Judge, immediately separate the Snail Ships that make up the War Fortress, and tell them to disperse and not gather together."
Although he didn't know why Nicholas suddenly said this, judging from Nicholas's previous performance and Strength, Judge immediately ordered the War Fortress to disintegrate.
Soon the War Fortress transformed into individual Snail Warships and quickly dispersed.
"Is this your 'Plan', Sengoku?"
Nicholas's Eyes narrowed, his Gaze seemed to cross the Sea and meet the Eyes of Sengoku standing on the Deck of the Navy flagship from afar.
"Admiral Sengoku, we have retreated to a safe Sea Area!!!"
The Navy General in charge of contacting the warships looked up at Sengoku on the Deck, waiting for the next Instruction.
"Understood."
Sengoku looked at the Germa War Castle that had begun to disperse in the distance, not caring too much. So what if they guessed his Plan?
Then, Sengoku looked at Akainu Sakazuki standing behind him, and Fujitora Issho who had been waiting for a long time.
"It's time to Attack, Sakazuki, Issho."
"..."
Hearing Sengoku's Command, Sakazuki and Issho didn't say much, but stepped forward silently.
Fujitora drew his Cane Sword and continuously slashed purple Spiral Waves towards the Night Sky.
A moment later,
In the Night Sky, dozens of Firelight faintly appeared, as if responding to some kind of summons.
If you looked closely, you would find.
Those were… dozens of Giant Meteorites with long trails of flames.
"Meteor Volcano."
After Issho took action to pull Meteorites from Space, Sakazuki also launched his Ability.
His arms and clothes turned into flowing Magma in an Instantly. The magma-ized arms were raised to the Sky, and then a large number of Fist-shaped Magma Pellets were sprayed out towards the area where the Beasts Pirates and Germa 66 were located.
These Magma Pellets rapidly expanded and enlarged when they left Sakazuki's arms. Instantly, countless Magma Pellets flew into the High Sky, reflecting the entire Sky into a crimson Color like sunset.
Seconds later,
Just like the Move name Meteor Volcano, countless Fist-shaped Magma Pellets fell from the Sky like a Meteor Shower, seemingly wanting to completely submerge the Beasts Pirates and Germa 66.
Following closely behind the Meteor Volcano were dozens of Giant Meteorites pulled down by Issho using the Gravity Fruit.
Beasts Pirates.
Many Pirates all looked up in horror at the countless Magma Pellets wrapped in High Temperature and dozens of Meteorites as large as or even larger than their Ships, falling like a Meteor Shower. At this moment, they seemed to be in the midst of doomsday.
This kind of Attack like a Natural Disaster was simply not something they could resist, and even if Boss Kaido and Lord Jin took action, they might not be able to block them all.
"Is this kind of terrifying Attack something a Person can unleash?"
Looking at the Meteor Fire Rain all over the Sky and the several Meteorites flying towards Germa, an unusual Emotion gradually rose in the Inner Thoughts of Ichiji and the other two.
After all, in just a few minutes, their worldview had been repeatedly rubbed on the ground.
These guys who took action one after another, even the guy who just intercepted all the Shells with Light, could treat them like toys and pinch them at will, right?
Germa's Technique seemed to be no different from children's toys in the Eyes of these guys.
"What!?"
Looking at the continuous Magma Fire Rain and the huge Meteorites whistling towards them, Judge was already a little numb.
As a Scientist, he could naturally easily estimate the Destructive Power caused by Sakazuki's Meteor Volcano.
However, what made him feel most Despair was still the Meteorites pulled down by Issho.
The Giant Mass, coupled with the Speed brought by falling from the High Sky, made these Meteorites contain Terror Energy.
Even in Judge's view, even with Kaido's Body, if he was hit by so many Meteorites, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Moreover, in addition to the Terror Energy contained in the Meteorites themselves, the terrifying Tsunami they would cause when they crashed into the Sea was also a huge Trouble.
Whether it was the Pirates of the Beasts Pirates, or the Vinsmoke father and sons of Germa 66, or even some of the Navy, all were horrified by the Scene of this man-made Natural Disaster.
At the same time,
Blazing Firelight reflected on the Sea.
Countless Magma Pellets and Meteorites, after being accelerated by Gravity, finally made intimate contact with the Sea Surface.
"Boom!"
Giant Fist-shaped Magma Pellets landed first, and many Ships with bad Luck instantly fell into a Sea of Fire.
The High Temperature carried by the Magma Pellets also instantly made the Seawater boil.
Subsequently,
The more threatening Giant Meteorites smashed down!
At this moment, the place where the Beasts Pirates and Germa 66 were located was like purgatory.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 439: Hell
Sengoku stood on the Deck of the Warship, his gaze calmly watching the Beasts Pirates Fleet and the distant Germa 66 War Castle engulfed in a Sea of Fire.
Countless fist-shaped Magma Bullets were launched from Sakazuki's arms, then fell diagonally from the Sky, smashing towards the distant Beasts Pirates and Germa.
The Firelight from the burning Ships and Magma Bullets dyed the Sea Surface completely red, reflecting onto Sengoku's face and body.
In the lenses of his eyes looking towards the Beasts Pirates in the distance, reflected was a Hell-like Scene.
And in his eyes behind the lenses, was an indescribable Calm...
Only after Sakazuki and Issho's scorched-earth tactics, the remaining living resistance force of the Beasts Pirates and Germa 66 would be pitifully small.
At that time, the Navy's High-End Combat Power and those scum Royal Shichibukai, under the cover of Navy Firepower, would encircle and kill those guys who cause turmoil in the Grand Line.
For Sengoku, naval battles were unlike land battles. On the Grand Line, the only Base was the Ship underfoot. Once the Ship was destroyed, except for a small number of Powerful Figure, only death awaited the others.
And Sakazuki and Issho's coordinated scorched-earth tactics were the arrangement Sengoku had made for this naval battle.
Directly using this large-scale scorched-earth Attack to completely clear out the opponent's Cannon Fodder, then relying on High-End Combat Power to target the opponent's Powerful Figure. As for those surviving guys, the remaining Navy would be enough to clear them out.
"..."
Watching the Beasts Pirates and Germa 66, as if fallen into Hell, Doflamingo finally shifted his Line of Sight, turning to look at Sengoku in the distance, standing on the Deck without any Emotion Vibration.
Obviously, this Scene before his eyes made Doflamingo deeply feel a lack of Safety.
Boom, boom—!
Countless fist-shaped Magma Bullets successively smashed onto the Sea Surface.
Violent Explosions, and a large amount of Steam generated by the Magma High Temperature, swept towards the Beasts Pirates' Ships.
The originally massive Beasts Fleet, under this wave of scorched-earth tactics, naturally could not escape. The Magma Bullets fired by Sakazuki smashed them full of holes, and the giant Tsunami caused by the Meteorite also directly slapped those already burning Ships directly into the Sea.
As for the fate of the Pirates on the Ships, it naturally goes without saying.
Even if they were lucky enough to survive being hit by the Tsunami, the High Temperature carried by the Magma Bullets had already boiled the Sea Surface. Falling into the boiled Seawater, they could not escape death either.
From the moment Sakazuki and Issho launched their Attack, within just a few tens of seconds, the Beasts Pirates' Ships had already suffered heavy losses. Many Ships were still burning, and sinking into the Sea was only a matter of Time.
As for the Sea Area where they were, it was everywhere filled with burning Ship Wreckage, and drifting Corpses of Beasts Pirates Member.
As for the Germa side, although they also suffered heavy losses, because they dispersed in advance, their losses were considerably less than the Beasts Pirates side.
"Brother Kaido, this can't go on!!!"
After King kicked away a Magma Pellet falling towards them with one Foot, he looked at Kaido and said anxiously.
"That's right, Lord Kaido, if we don't stop the guys from the Navy side, if this continues, the only Ships we can save in the end will be just these few around us!"
Queen, who had cut open a Meteorite with a Laser, also looked at Kaido and said anxiously, because just now, he had seen several Firelight flashes in the Sky in the distance, obviously the next wave of Meteorite Attack was coming!
And Kaido, circling in the Sky above the Ships, also looked at the Beasts Pirates' Ships around him that had fallen into a Sea of Fire.
Under this offensive like the end of the world, even Ships cannot escape, people naturally go without saying.
Those Beasts Pirates Pirates, either were directly smashed to pieces along with their Ships by Magma Bullets and Meteorite, or they sank into the boiling Seawater.
In these two situations, no matter which one, both are certain death.
And those Pirates on the Ships that haven't been hit yet, could only constantly pray not to be hit by Justice from the Sky.
However, this kind of prayer was obviously useless. Unless they could sail the Ships into Kaido and his group's protection range, otherwise under this frequency of Attack, and without someone among them possessing Lucky Haki, Ships destroyed and people killed was just a matter of Time.
Along with the continuation of the Attack, the sound of Ships burning and the Explosion sound of Shells detonating, as well as those desperate screams, echoed in the Sky above the Beasts Pirates Fleet.
Kaido glanced at the situation around him, his eyes were full of indifference.
The number of fist-shaped Magma Bullets fired by Meteor Volcano was really too many, to block all of them was simply impossible.
However,
for him, guys who die so easily, dead is dead. Anyway, as long as he wants to recruit, there are as many of these guys as he wants. On the Grand Line, there are countless Pirates who want to seek refuge under his command, using the Banner of the Hundred Beasts.
But he also cannot let those guys from the Navy so easily kill these guys under his command.
Just then, from the Sky came the whistling sound of Meteorite breaking through the air again. This time, it was three Meteorites lined up in a line, and the landing point of these three Meteorites, precisely, was Kaido circling in mid-air.
Obviously, such a big Target appearing in Issho's Observation Haki, there was no reason not to throw a Stone at it.
Meteorite fell from the Sky.
Kaido also directly chose to take action.
Incomparably sharp Giant Wind Blade instantly appeared beside the Giant Dragon, and flew towards the Meteorite falling from the Sky.
Crack crack—
Wind Blade instantly sliced through the Meteorite accompanied by an ear-piercing sound.
Neat cuts appeared on the Meteorite surface, in a brief moment, the Meteorite then shattered into countless Stone Blocks, scattered and smashed towards the Sea Surface.
The sharp Wind Blade forcibly penetrated the two Meteorites located in front, completely cutting them into countless Stone Blocks.
And facing the last Meteorite.
Armament Haki instantly covered the Giant Dragon Tail.
Then directly lashed out at the Meteorite attacking from the Sky.
Boom!
Along with a terrifying Explosion sound, instantly that giant Meteorite was smashed into countless fist-sized Stone Blocks.
Instantly, countless Stone Blocks fell from the Sky like a torrential Rain, splashing countless Waves on the Sea Surface.
And after shattering the Meteorite, Thunder and Lightning flashed around Kaido, while black-red Electric Arc faintly flickered on his body. Within his Dragon Eyes was filled with bone-chilling Killing Intent, falling upon Sengoku in the distance.
And Sengoku's Gaze was still Calm, without the slightest Disturbance.
This made Kaido unable to help but recall the Years of Research by Vegapunk. At that Time, Sengoku beside him seemed to have this kind of Eyes.
This made Kaido's Eyes become even colder.
He must kill this guy here.
Kaido's Thought was instantly dyed by violent Killing Intent.
Then the giant Azure Dragon Form directly stepped on Flame Cloud, winding and rushing towards the Navy Fleet.
He would let his own Fury submerge those guys!
When at a Distance of several hundred meters from the Navy Fleet, Kaido under Dragon Form suddenly opened his mouth, a scorching Firelight condensed in his mouth.
"Heat Breath!"
Flame Breath containing High Temperature Destructive Power, directly rushed towards the Navy Fleet.
It is conceivable what kind of terrifying Attack this Breath containing terrifying heat would cause if it hit the Navy Fleet.
And facing this Heat Breath of Kaido, Sengoku, Tsuru, Sakazuki, Borsalino, Issho, all standing on the Deck, watched with Calm Complexion.
And almost at the instant when the Heat Breath Firelight approached the Navy Fleet, a tall Figure instantly appeared in front of the Navy Warship.
Then this Figure unhurriedly took off the Glove on his Right Hand, revealing the Palm of his Hand with a Paw Pad.
Swish—!
The Heat Breath spat out by Kaido was instantly deflected to the distant Sea Surface, causing a huge Explosion.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 440 Limited Ability
Along with the distant explosion on the Sea Surface, a shockwave rapidly swept outwards.
Facing the incoming shockwave, Kaido didn't even blink, but instead stared intently with his cold Dragon Eye at Bear who had appeared on the Navy Ship Bow in the distance.
Clearly just an inconspicuous Paramecia Type Paw-Paw Fruit, but under Bartholomew Kuma's Development, it erupted with completely different Power.
This is the terrifying aspect of Powerful Figure on the Grand Line.
For them, even some inconspicuous Fruits, they can make them unleash terrifying Power.
It's just a pity,
In this World, the Strength of some Fruits already dictates the upper limit of their Strength. It's like no matter how perfectly Bear develops the Paw-Paw Fruit, his Strength is still not a match for those Sea Emperor.
Subsequently, Kaido withdrew his gaze from Bear and instead turned his head to scan the other warships around him. Standing on those warships were Hawkeye, Crocodile, and Doflamingo.
"Wororororo, this is truly interesting, even you guys have been mobilized. It seems you have become Loyal Dog of the World Government guys."
Kaido said mockingly.
"Tch, what an arrogant Weapon."
Looking at Kaido's mocking look, Doflamingo said somewhat unhappily.
After all, he should have been the Master of those World Government guys, but now he has to be subordinate to those guys.
As for Hawkeye's words to Kaido, he didn't take them to heart at all. For him, his relationship with the World Government was more akin to cooperation, and there was no superior-subordinate relationship between the two sides.
As for Crocodile's words to Kaido, a smile appeared on his Face, and then his Arm instantly Elementalization, turning into a Sand Blade, and slashed towards Kaido. The giant Sand Blade instantly slashed at Kaido's Neck.
However, Crocodile's Complexion was gloomy as he landed a Strike, because his Strike did not cause Damage to Kaido at all, and was directly blocked by Kaido's tough Dragon Scales.
"Worororororo, you guy should be the one who has been constantly challenging Whitebeard before, right? I didn't expect that after so long, your Strength is still not very good? Such an Attack can't even tickle me."
Kaido continued to spew Trash talk. For him, the People on this Sea who can break through his Defense can be said to be very few, and this also includes those Powerful Figure who wield Legendary Sword and have good Strength.
As for the other guys, they can't even penetrate his Scales.
While Kaido was in a Stand-off with the Navy, the Giant Snail that made up the Germa War Castle had already begun to quietly retreat.
Obviously, on this Battlefield crowded with Powerful Figure, these behemoths are just living targets.
The Beasts Pirates side is the best example.
Although some of the Meteorite's offensive was easily resolved by the Beasts Pirates, Sakazuki's Meteor Volcano's Power reached its maximum.
The entire Beasts Pirates was almost completely annihilated in the Navy's Destructive Blow, with only some Ships near the Beasts Pirates Flagship spared.
"Oh~~ Little mice are trying to escape? How terrifying, even though there are such terrifying guys, they still choose to retreat steadily?"
On the Warship, Admiral Kizaru Borsalino looked at the Germa Giant Snail Ship that was quietly retreating in the distance, gently stroking his Chin with his hand.
Apart from Kizaru, other Strongest also noticed the movement over there.
"Borsalino, Issho..."
Sengoku suddenly spoke.
And the two obviously understood what Sengoku meant. Obviously, according to the Operation Plan, Issho would use his Ability to completely sink Germa 66 into the Seabed of the North Blue, but now with the appearance of Nicholas and the retreat of Germa 66, the most stable Method is to have Kizaru, who is the fastest, and Issho join forces to deal with Germa 66.
"To fight against such a guy? It's really a headache."
Kizaru said somewhat helplessly. If possible, he would rather solo Kaido than face Nicholas.
But as a Marine, Order is still the priority.
Although it may be a bit different from the original Operation Plan, isn't the Battlefield changing rapidly?
At this moment, a Figure with Wings burning with Flame rapidly approached the Battlefield between Kaido and the Navy. It was King in his Pteranodon Form.
Having flight Ability, he can be said to be one of the few Existence within the Hundred Beasts Pirates who can fight alongside Kaido. Although his Strength in this Form will be greatly reduced, he is at least qualified to fight.
Like Queen and those guys, after losing their Ships, they basically have no Combat Power.
"Even if I can help Boss Kaido share some Pressure!"
King looked solemnly at the Giant Dragon in front and the almost terrifying lineup of the Navy.
However,
Facing King's Support, the Combat Power on the Navy Warship didn't care at all, and let him come to Kaido's side.
"Damn it!"
Looking at the Navy's indifferent attitude, a Gloom shrouded King's heart.
"If that's the case..."
King made up his mind, his Giant Wings vibrated, and he came to Kaido's Giant Head.
If he could persuade Kaido to leave, they could rely on their two people's flight Ability to retreat from this Battlefield at the fastest Speed.
In that case, the Navy, lacking air Power, would not be able to pursue at all.
"Boss Kaido, our losses are too great, it's time to retreat. And this is obviously a Conspiracy of the Navy!"
King said anxiously to Kaido, but Kaido remained unmoved.
"Naive."
Sengoku looked coldly at King's Action. Obviously, he mobilized so much Combat Power this time not just to Severely Wounded the Beasts Pirates, and Kaido obviously realized this, so he was indifferent to King's persuasion.
Sengoku seemed to be aware of something and met Kaido's ice-cold Eyes.
Unless an uncontrollable change occurs, otherwise...
The only result waiting for the Beasts Pirates is annihilation!
"King, you go, you can't help here, you will only tie my hands."
Kaido turned his Head and spoke to the Pteranodon beside him.
"Boss Kaido!"
King never expected that the first Words Kaido said was to let him leave.
However, seeing Kaido's determined Eyes, King also knew that he would only be a burden to Kaido.
So he vibrated his Wings and planned to accelerate away.
Suddenly, a terrifying Gravity descending from the Sky struck without warning.
"What?!"
King, who was flying at high Speed, had not reacted when he was directly pressed towards the Sea Surface by this Gravity.
On the Navy Warship.
Fujitora lowered his head slightly and pressed the Cane Sword that was slightly out of its Sheath back into the Sheath.
"Although 'Ability' is limited, it can still be of some use."
King, who was grabbed by Kaido's claw, felt the continuous Gravity and frowned as he looked at the Navy on the Warship.
It has to be said that under the Pressure of Gravity, it is already a luxury for him to fly freely into the Sky.
Their Situation has become extremely pessimistic, and it can be seen that the Navy really intends to leave the Beasts Pirates who entered the North Blue from the New World completely in the North Blue.
"Hey, Boss Queen, we just ran away like this, what about Boss Kaido and Boss King?"
On the Beasts Pirates Ship, a Pirate looked at the Giant Dragon and Pterodactyl in the distance and asked Queen curiously.
"Are you stupid? They can fly, can you fly? Stay here and wait for death! If you are willing, I will leave a Ship for you."
Hearing Queen's Words, and looking at the corpses of those Companions floating on the Sea Surface, the Face of the Pirate who spoke turned green.
Staying in this Situation is really just courting death.
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 441 The Sky Cracked
Sengoku looked at the Giant Dragon before him, golden light suddenly erupted from his body, and his body rapidly transformed into a giant golden Buddha at an astonishing speed.
Mythical Zoan Human-Human Fruit - Buddha Form.
Bathed in golden Buddha Light, Sengoku was solemn and majestic, exuding a terrifying Aura.
The giant Buddha raised his right Palm towards the Giant Dragon, who stood on Flame Cloud above the Sea Surface.
——
A sound like a Buddha's Bell Toll reverberated through the Air.
Battle was imminent.
"Leave the others to you, I'll handle this guy."
As Sengoku finished speaking, Borsalino and Issho floated into the Sky and flew towards Germa, while the Seven Warlords of the Sea directly confronted the Beasts Pirates Remnant.
Sakazuki followed closely beside Vice Admiral Tsuru, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
On the Beasts Pirates' side, seeing Sengoku's Buddha Form and the actions of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, including King, everyone felt a weight in their hearts.
Only Kaido, who knew no Fear, continued to stare coldly at the giant Buddha atop the Warship.
Within his Dragon Eyes, a formidable Fighting Spirit was brewing.
As their Auras clashed, Dark Clouds gathered in the Sky, accompanied by constant Thunder.
Gales swept across the Sea Surface.
At this moment, both Kaido and Sengoku knew.
Regardless of who won or lost this Conflict, one side would meet its end here.
This was a battle of life and death!
"Ugorogorogo... What a truly terrifying person."
Kaido narrowed his Eyes, a flicker of Lightning flashing within his Pupil.
Then, tornadoes spontaneously arose beside the Giant Dragon, Silver Snake danced wildly.
The Aura emanating from him alone caused astonishing changes.
Sengoku, facing the Giant Dragon amidst wind, rain, and Lightning, remained composed, regarding the surging Presence as if it were nothing, like a living Buddha.
"Then... I shall subdue the Dragon today."
He declared.
Thunder Sound erupted almost simultaneously.
Kaido moved.
The majestic and domineering Divine Dragon instantly shifted to his strongest Dragon Form, wielding a Spiked Club wrapped in Black-Red Lightning, transforming into a bolt of Thunder in the Sky.
Thunder Bagua!
With extraordinary Speed, the Power of this Strike was fully unleashed upon the golden Buddha before him.
It could be said that this Strike was undoubtedly the strongest Thunder Bagua Kaido had ever unleashed.
However—
Even in the face of Kaido's assault, Sengoku's expression remained impassive, neither sorrowful nor joyful, neither dodging nor evading.
He directly raised his right Arm, slightly bent, and channeled all his Power into his Palm.
Furthermore, Conqueror's Haki, intertwined with purplish-black Lightning, enveloped his Palm, and with a perfectly timed thrust of his Arm, he intercepted Kaido's Spiked Club, which had arrived with incredible Speed.
Boom—!
A heaven-shaking Rumble suppressed all other Sounds in the world into Silence.
In that instant, it was as if time itself had paused; Thunder fell silent, Wind News ceased, and raging waves stilled.
Two immense Powers collided in Space, and Conqueror's Haki erupted from both figures.
Countless Black-Red Electric Arc, like Spider Web, spread wildly across the Sky around them.
The Space between their Palms and the Spiked Club seemed to Crack.
Rumble—
Moments later, everything returned to normal. The clash of Powers triggered Thunder, generated Gale, and unleashed raging waves.
Countless Lightning Snake rapidly spread within the Dark Clouds, accompanied by deafening Rumble.
Everyone, whether awestruck or horrified, watched the two Figures enveloped in Black-Red Electric Arc at the storm's epicenter.
…
"He's truly remarkable, Sengoku."
Nicholas couldn't help but sigh, observing the scene in the distance.
As someone who, alongside Garp, had driven Pirate King Roger to the brink of destruction multiple times, his Strength was undoubtedly monstrous.
"The Sky... Cracked!!!"
Vinsmoke Niji, noticing the Sky's appearance, exclaimed blankly.
Following his Words, the others also looked towards the churning Dark Clouds and clearly saw a massive Crack appearing in the cloud layer centered on the two figures. Through this enormous Crack, they could even glimpse the moon hanging high in the Sky.
"The Navy is truly serious this time."
Judge gazed up at the cracked Sky, his brow furrowed deeply.
Although he lacked Observation Haki to foresee the future,
he could already discern the Beasts Pirates' defeat from the Navy's arrangements since the War began.
"Is that truly a level Humans can reach?"
Judge remarked with emotion, clearly aware that Germa's current Technology was far from achieving such a Degree.
…
"Yo, look what we have here, a Sand Crocodile and a Flamingo?"
Queen, spotting Crocodile emerging from a Sand Whirlwind on the Deck and Doflamingo swinging on String to land on the Mast, wore a 'look what I found' expression.
Facing Queen, Crocodile took a deep drag of his Cigar, then turned his gaze to Queen, the strongest presence on this Ship.
While other Ancient Zoan Ability User of the Beasts Pirates possessed some Presence, they were undoubtedly far inferior to Queen.
With Crocodile's Pride, he naturally intended to target Queen.
As for Doflamingo, he had no wish to engage Queen at all. He chose to slack off in this War, as Sengoku and the Navy gave him an unsettling Feel. This was also the reason why he opted to clear out the Beasts Pirates Remnant alongside Sand Crocodile.
Doflamingo leaned back against the Mast with his legs crossed, five Parasite String, almost invisible to the naked eye, extending from his fingertips. In the chaotic Battle, he controlled several low-ranking Captain from the Beasts Pirates, manipulating them to slaughter their Companions while observing the other two Battlefields.
"Fufufufu... What a truly anticipated War."
"Doflamingo!"
The Beasts Pirates Officers whose bodies were controlled glared at Doflamingo with gritted teeth, their Eyes seeming to wish they could flay him alive and devour him whole.
Being controlled like Puppets was undoubtedly a Disgrace for these individuals.
"Interesting."
Their hateful gazes only heightened Doflamingo's amusement. He immediately directed these puppets to charge towards and continue Slaughtering the Beasts Pirates' soldiers.
"Captain!?"
"Don't come near me! I can't control myself!"
"Attack Doflamingo! That Weapon is controlling us!"
The individuals controlled by Doflamingo shouted incessantly while swinging their Swords at their Companions.
"Doflamingo, I'll kill you!!!"
"Fehehehehehe...!"
Doflamingo chuckled cruelly, his Sunglasses reflecting the exasperated manner of his controlled Puppets.
Crocodile, currently engaged in battle with Queen, was clearly annoyed by Doflamingo's twisted amusement.
He swiftly used several Desert Treasure Sword to behead the controlled Puppets.
"Hmm?"
Doflamingo's Laughter faltered, and he glared coldly at Crocodile.
"Sand Crocodile, didn't you see I was having fun?"
Doflamingo's Eyes were filled with cold Killing Intent as he stared at Crocodile.
"Oh, I thought you couldn't handle those few, so I lent you a hand."
Crocodile replied indifferently and casually.
