"These Army guys, you really can't count on them, they're too useless!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru, as the commander of this war, gritted her teeth and cursed as she watched the situation on the battlefield.
These Army soldiers were like lambs facing wolves when they encountered pirates, completely unable to withstand a single blow.
In terms of lower-level combat power, facing the massive numbers and strength of the pirates, the World Government side was currently at a complete disadvantage.
In terms of mid-level combat power, even with the Army, CP, and Marine, the Executive Officers of the major Pirate Crew were not weak, and with scattered Pirate Crew like Kaido's, the World Government side could not gain any advantage.
Overall, the World Government side was at a disadvantage, and it would remain so even with continuous waves of Marine and Army reinforcements arriving to join the war.
"Vice Admiral Tsuru, the pirates' firepower is too fierce, our casualties are heavy!"
A Marine soldier below came to report.
"Then try to avoid engaging with pirates who possess firearms."
Vice Admiral Tsuru also knew that the pirates' firearms were very powerful, but she had no good way to deal with them at the moment; this was the enemy's advantage.
Facing the pirates' advantage in lower-level combat power, the Marine side was at a disadvantage and simply could not dispatch Vice Admiral or even Rear Admiral to destroy the enemy's firearms, so they could only avoid them.
In response, Vice Admiral Tsuru specifically ordered people to collect the firearms dropped by the pirates, planning to bring them back for research after the war, hoping to improve the Marine's firearms as well.
"Hahahaha, you, a prospective Army General, aren't that great either. Take another punch from me!"
"Gravity Punch · Adamantine Cannon!"
Bullet transformed into his human-beast form and instantly rushed in front of the prospective Army General, Herman Tole, with a forceful push off the ground.
Dense Busoshoku Haki combined with gravity compression condensed onto his fist, and he punched towards Herman.
"Busoshoku · Iron Body · Steel!"
Herman's pupils contracted, and unable to dodge, he crossed his arms in front of him to block.
"Pfft!!!"
But the next moment, Bullet's fist suddenly changed direction and slammed into Herman's abdomen. Ryuo Haki instantly penetrated his Iron Body defense and struck his internal organs directly.
The crushing force of gravity, combined with the Haki impact and the absolutely powerful strength of the Adamantine Titan, caused Herman's internal organs to be damaged. He vomited a mouthful of blood and his body was sent flying into the sky.
"Moonwalk!!"
"Six Styles Mystery · Maximum Wheel · Six Kings Gravity Gun!"
Seeing this, Bullet pursued while the advantage was his, catching up to him in the sky, and then slammed his fists onto Herman's spine again.
"Crack!!!"
The powerful force brutally shattered Herman's spine, and his body was smashed back into the ground.
"Titan God Fist · Gravity Drop Cannon!!"
Bullet, showing no mercy after gaining the upper hand, rapidly swooped down from high in the sky using Moonwalk, slamming his pair of dark and dense fists onto the back of Herman's head and the back of his heart.
"Bang!!!"
With his spine broken, Herman had no power to resist whatsoever and was completely killed by Bullet, who crushed his heart.
"Huff!!!"
"A prospective Army General is nothing more than this!"
Bullet looked at the completely dead Herman and said contemptuously.
After a fierce battle with Herman for three days and three nights, Bullet finally completely killed him, not even allowing the opponent to escape.
Since Bullet awakened Busoshoku Haki and displayed his immense talent in it, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, progressing rapidly.
Ashura Doji, who was originally ahead of him, has been caught up to by Bullet, and in another year or two, he will completely surpass Ashura Doji and become the strongest Executive Officer of the Limitless Pirates!
After killing Herman, Bullet did not continue fighting but returned to the rear of the pirates to rest, eat, and replenish his stamina, planning to continue fighting after resting well.
War is a good place; it can temper his body art and Haki, allowing his strength to improve faster!
The war lasted for five days and five nights, and the top-tier combat power still appeared to be evenly matched.
But for the World Government, a draw meant failure. If even the World Government could only fight the pirates to a draw, what else could it be but failure?
"This cannot continue. The Celestial Dragons family must take action, otherwise the World Government will truly be defeated!"
"At the Celestial Dragons meeting, they must take action, even if it means sacrificing some interests."
The only Gorosei who did not participate in the battle, Saint Saturn, remained in Holy Land Mary Geoise to prevent anyone from launching a sneak attack on Mary Geoise at this time.
He was also there to request external aid when the war reached a stalemate, in order to completely crush the Pirate Alliance.
Saint Saturn immediately had the Celestial Dragons family hold another Celestial Dragons meeting. At the meeting, Saint Saturn conceded some interests.
He had the Celestial Dragons family send out two top-tier combatants, as well as some powerful slaves they had trained and forces protecting the Celestial Dragons, to participate in the war. Saint Saturn himself even joined the battle!
After five days and five nights of continuous fighting, even top-tier powerhouses had significantly decreased stamina and their condition had dropped considerably.
At this moment, Gorosei Saint Saturn, bringing two top-tier powerhouses and a group of mid-level combatants to join the battle, was simply a game-changer for this war!
"You two go deal with Violence King Brandon, I will deal with Silver Axe!"
After arriving on the battlefield, Saint Saturn immediately ordered the two top-tier combatants to deal with Brandon, whom he considered the easiest person to take down.
With the two top-tier combatants plus Admiral Zephyr, he believed it wouldn't take long to take down Brandon, who had been fighting continuously for five days and five nights.
"Damn World Government, treating me like a soft persimmon again!!"
Seeing the two enemies with top-tier combat power suddenly joining the battle, Brandon's face turned terrifyingly grim. The last time, the World Government treated him as a breakthrough point and sent three top-tier combatants to Siege him.
Now they are still treating him as a soft persimmon and sending three top-tier combatants to Siege him again. Is there no end to this!
"Limit Enhancement!"
Although he cursed the World Government countless times in his heart, his body immediately pushed the power of his Muscle-Muscle Fruit to the extreme. His entire skin became hot, and his muscles bulged further from their original state, reaching the limit of his physical body.
Only by doing so could he barely hold on under the Siege of the three top-tier combatants. Now he couldn't even run, and could only hope that someone would notice he was being attacked and come to support him.
"Silver Axe!!"
Saint Saturn's gaze fell upon Silver Axe, who was fighting Kong. Silver Axe was one of the individuals he believed he could take down!
"Gorosei Saint Saturn, hahahaha, do you really think I, Silver Axe, am easy to bully!"
Seeing Saint Saturn arrive, Silver Axe laughed wildly, but his body honestly retreated backward, not wanting to be surrounded by the opponent.
However, Saint Saturn blocked his retreat path first, leaving him nowhere to go.
"Bloodthirsty Demon Sword, it's too troublesome!"
The two Army General, Sola and Hamedy, Siege Nox for five days and five nights without gaining any advantage. In fact, due to his Blood-Thirsty Seven Star Sword, they were covered in sword wounds of varying depths and lost a lot of blood.
Their originally rosy complexions were now pale, looking severely anemic, and their strength had even declined considerably as a result.
But looking at Nox's appearance, there was no sign of weakness or lack of stamina whatsoever, which was quite bizarre.
If this continued, it was possible that they would be the ones to collapse first and be defeated!
"Hahahaha, mere Army General, daring to block me, it's simply wishful thinking!"
Seeing the two guys in such a state, Nox knew that the time had come!
"Life Return · Limb Limit Enhancement!"
In an instant, Nox adjusted the range of his limbs, maximizing the strength of his four limbs. Blood constantly oozed from his limbs, and steam continuously rose, as if he were a steaming roasted duck.
"Blast Step!!"
His feet instantly stepped on the ground dozens of times, erupting with a speed that the two Marine General couldn't even keep up with in an instant.
"Not good!"
Sola and Hamedy subconsciously felt the danger and immediately focused their Kenbunshoku Haki on Nox.
However, at this moment, a sense of fatal threat surged into his heart, causing his heart to pound, his blood to boil, and cold sweat to pour all over his body.
This familiar yet unfamiliar sense of fatal crisis was all too familiar to Hamedy. In the past, whenever this feeling appeared, it was when he was closest to death.
And at this moment, Nox's Kenbunshoku Haki suddenly broke through. He saw the Bullet rapidly shooting towards Hamedy from behind him in his mind.
He also saw that in order to dodge this Bullet, Hamedy was willing to completely endure Nox's full-power attack. Ultimately, Hamedy dodged the Bullet, was severely injured by Nox's attack, and escaped the battlefield.
With extreme speed, Nox arrived in front of Hamedy in the blink of an eye. The blood dragon formed by Haki combined with Sword Intent coiled around the blade of the blue longsword.
Neither Hamedy nor Sola noticed that the sword in Nox's hand had been replaced. It was no longer the Seven Star Sword, but a double-edged sword similar to the Seven Star Sword.
"Three Elements Combined Mystery · Overlord Wrapped · Blood Dragon Severing Sky Slash!"
With a single slash, the blood dragon followed, and the solidified blood dragon roared out, the sharp sword light soaring like a dragon towards Hamedy.
Feeling the fatal danger, Hamedy elementalized most of his body, solidifying a small portion, and used Busoshoku Haki and the power of his Steam Fruit to try to block Nox's attack while also trying to dodge the fatal crisis from behind.
Nox's speed was too fast. Besides Hamedy, who was directly involved, Sola, who was not far away, had no time to react before Nox had already rushed in front of Hamedy.
"Rip!!!"
The blue longsword broke through Hamedy's Busoshoku Haki on his hands like a hot knife through butter, and slashed into his flesh.
But just as the blue longsword touched Hamedy's flesh, most of the power in Hamedy's body suddenly disappeared, and even his elementalization power was forcibly suppressed.
His originally elementalized body solidified, turning back into its most original human form.
