"As expected, they are the World Government's lackeys!"
Seeing the attire of these people, Gaban snorted coldly.
They had already guessed that this was an ambush by the World Government, but they couldn't help it since there were clues they had been searching for here!
"Roger, you are surrounded. Surrender quickly if you know what's good for you. That way, you still have a chance to live and go to Impel Down. Otherwise, there is only death!"
Army Marshal Jenore Bolton said.
To capture the Roger Pirates, the new Army General, the new CP0 Chief, Joshua Langer, and two top powerhouses from Celestial Dragon families, totaling five top powerhouses, plus numerous subordinates, were dispatched.
It can be said that the World Government dispatched all the subordinates they could currently send out. It was only because the Gorosei refused to personally take action, otherwise, the Roger Pirates would have been unable to escape.
"Hahahahaha, you want to capture our Roger Pirates? You alone are far from enough!"
Roger laughed heartily, while secretly feeling fortunate. He was fortunate that the Limitless Pirates had held back Garp and Sengoku, otherwise, they would truly have been on a path to certain death.
"Kamusari!!"
The Ace in Roger's hand was instantly drawn, wrapped in dark red dual-colored Haki. As lightning surged, he suddenly turned and charged towards the top powerhouse he perceived as the weakest.
"Nether Prison!!"
Rayleigh and Roger didn't need to be in complete sync, but their basic intentions were long understood. Before Roger made his move, griffin also erupted with terrifying lightning, acting in concert with Roger.
The sudden attack by the two of them, targeting the same person, the top powerhouse from the Celestial Dragon family, who had not expected them to suddenly attack him.
Even with his full defense, he was still instantly sent flying over a thousand meters by Roger and Rayleigh, suffering serious injuries, which created a gap in the original encirclement.
"Not good, attack together!!!"
Seeing this, Army Marshal Bolton immediately made his move, attempting to stop Roger and the others from breaking through.
At the same time Roger and Rayleigh made their move, Gaban also began to act!
"Axe Strike!!"
Holding the giant axe with both hands, he gathered all his strength onto the axe blade and struck fiercely. The massive axe slash cut through the sky, blocking the top powerhouses who intended to surround Roger and the others.
Although this slash was shattered by their combined attack, it did hold them back for a moment.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Roger and the others began to break through from the opening.
Unfortunately, if it were only Roger, Rayleigh, and Gaban, this opening would have been enough for the three of them to successfully break through and retreat.
However, the Roger Pirates also had other combat crew members and historians who could decipher Road poneglyphs but didn't have much combat power. Soon, Roger and the others were stopped.
Roger, being the strongest in combat, held back the most powerful Army Marshal Bolton and CP0 Chief, Joshua Langer. Rayleigh also held back two top powerhouses, and Gaban held back one top powerhouse.
The other Roger Pirates crew members broke through towards the direction of the "Oro Jackson." As long as they got on the ship, they could set sail.
But what they didn't know was that the World Government had already sent people to deal with the Roger Pirates' ship. The crew members currently guarding the "Oro Jackson" were desperately protecting the ship's safety.
"Roger, surrender quickly, or your crew members will all die!!"
Army Marshal Bolton mocked while attacking Roger with the CP0 Chief.
The Roger Pirates had many crew members, all elites, but facing the encirclement of many World Government personnel, casualties had already begun to appear.
"Hahahahaha, our Roger Pirates are the most free Pirate Crew! No one can restrain our freedom, not even the World Government!"
Even fighting one against two, Roger did not fall into a disadvantage at the beginning. As Ace swung, every move was his full-strength attack.
Although those who surrounded Roger and the others were all top powerhouses, there were also differences between top powerhouses. They were still quite far from Garp and Sengoku.
"Why waste words with him? After killing him, his remaining crew members won't survive!"
"Crushing Fist!"
As he spoke, CP0 Chief Joshua Langer's fist unleashed a grey crushing force. In an instant, the air was crushed, and space was almost shattered.
He had eaten the Paramecia-type Crush Crush Fruit. With this powerful Devil Fruit ability, he firmly held the position of CP0 Chief and was the latest top powerhouse cultivated by the World Government!
"Kamusari!!!"
No matter the enemy, Roger was never afraid of a frontal attack. Ace, carrying terrifying Haki and lightning power, struck towards CP0 Chief Langer's fist. The crushing force that could crush everything was shattered by Roger's sword strike. The powerful Haki even sent CP0 Chief Langer flying back several hundred meters.
Although CP0 Chief Langer's Devil Fruit ability was powerful, his Haki and physique were far inferior to Roger's. Even with the top Paramecia-type Crush Crush Fruit, his true strength was much less than Roger's.
"Iron Arm·Critical Hit!"
As Roger attacked, Army Marshal Bolton's entire right arm turned into a black arm, and terrifying Haki surged out. He punched towards Roger.
Army Marshal Bolton, like Steel Bone Kong, was a pure body art and Haki powerhouse. He specifically tempered his right arm with Haki, and his right arm was his strongest part!
"Kamusari!!"
After just sending CP0 Chief Langer flying, Roger used the recoil to turn around. Powerful Haki power gathered on Ace again. As he spun, it was another move, Kamusari.
As the black arm collided with Ace, Roger's powerful force irresistibly crushed the Haki released by Army Marshal Bolton, and even sent Army Marshal Bolton flying back several hundred meters, just like CP0 Chief Langer before.
After temporarily repelling the two, Roger quickly went to support Gaban, helping Gaban to deliver a Kamusari attack that injured the top powerhouse of the Celestial Dragon family.
Immediately after CP0 Chief Langer and Army Marshal Bolton returned, Roger once again blocked them, preventing them from ganging up on Rayleigh and Gaban.
"Roger is very strong. Change tactics, wear him down!"
After witnessing Roger's powerful strength, Army Marshal Bolton abandoned the idea of killing him in a short time and changed his strategy to a war of attrition.
Even if they just wore him down, they could exhaust the other party. After all, no matter how strong Roger was, it was based on having stamina. They were going to exhaust Roger's stamina before killing him. They didn't believe that the two of them couldn't outlast one Roger.
World Pirates:
"Brother, you said, now that the three top powerhouses of the Marine are fighting against the Limitless Pirates, is Marine Headquarters Marineford not heavily guarded by powerful forces?"
World suddenly smiled as he looked at the newspaper he had received.
Ever since he obtained the explosive rock, he had been constantly hiding from the Marine. He also took this opportunity to improve the explosive rock by installing a timed explosion switch on its container.
As long as the container of the explosive rock was thrown out and the explosion switch was pressed, the explosive rock could be directly detonated. This was much simpler and more practical than the previous method of simply exploding the explosive rock.
With this great weapon in hand, his desire for destruction was unparalleled. He wanted to destroy this World, starting with the Marine, then the World Government, and finally the Celestial Dragons who ruled the World!
The current World had a much wider range of experience and knowledge than in the original work, and his thinking had also changed under the influence of his brother, becoming smarter and less irritable and mindless.
"Marine Headquarters Marineford is still guarded by Fleet Admiral Kong. If we were to attack Marineford by ship, we would probably be discovered before we even reached Marineford!"
"At that time, if Kong knew the characteristics of the explosive rock in our hands, they might be prepared."
"So, we either don't do it, or we do it completely and achieve the greatest destructive effect at once."
"Therefore, my suggestion is that it would be best to be able to fly from the sky, use your ability, brother, to amplify the explosive rock by a hundred times, and then throw it down, and finally detonate it after it lands."
"And by doing this, we can also retreat safely and not worry about being harmed by the terrifying explosion of the explosive rock."
Bin Jack said after pondering.
They had experimented with the power of the explosive rock amplified by the More-More Fruit a hundred times before. It can be said that the explosion took place on an island in the Calm Belt.
Just one explosive rock could shatter the entire island and sink it into the sea.
Even though they were more than a thousand meters away from the island, their ship was almost destroyed by the huge waves and terrifying explosion impact that were stirred up at that time.
Therefore, while they were excited about the explosion of this explosive rock, they were also very apprehensive. It had to be detonated in a safe location, otherwise, they would be affected themselves.
If they were caught in the explosion and died while playing, that would be tragic.
"Flying ability? Brother, are you saying we should cooperate with Shiki?"
World asked.
Currently, those with flying ability who could fly over Marineford or Holy Land Mary Geoise were only those with flying abilities like Golden Lion.
"Don't cooperate with Golden Lion, it's too dangerous. Once you cooperate with Golden Lion, when you fly into the sky, that will be his home ground, and you won't be able to defeat him!"
"We don't necessarily have to use Golden Lion's ability. As long as we find a Devil Fruit that can make people fly and then Training one or two people who can fly ourselves, it will be safer to do so."
Bin Jack said.
"Okay, let's do it!"
World said.
To destroy the World, he had plenty of patience.
The great battle between the Marine and the Limitless Pirates had lasted for three days and three nights. The original G2 Fortress had already been occupied by the Pirate Crew.
A continuous stream of Pirate Crew rushed down from the pirate ships. The injured Pirate Crew returned to the pirate ships for treatment, and after their injuries healed, they went back to fight the Marine.
In just three days, the number of deaths among the Marine and Army combined was nearly 200,000, and the Limitless Pirates also lost nearly 40,000 people.
The entire G2 Fortress was now filled with continuous fighting, cannons roaring, the entire fortress was a river of blood, and corpses lay everywhere.
"Hahahahaha, Vice Admiral Zephyr, that's all there is to it!!!"
Ashura Doji was bathed in his own blood at this time, wildly swinging the di mie sword in his hand at Zephyr.
For three days, he had been fighting Vice Admiral Zephyr alone. Although he was exhausted and covered in injuries at this time, his eyes were still so bright.
Five years ago, he and Bullet could only barely stop Zephyr after he had fought for five days.
Two years ago, he and Chinjao could already easily stop Zephyr.
Now, he alone could stop Vice Admiral Zephyr for three days. This made him see that the gap between himself and Zephyr was getting closer and closer, which also meant that he was getting closer and closer to the strength of an Admiral.
As long as he was given a few more years, he was absolutely confident that he could completely catch up to the strength of an Admiral and, when fighting an Admiral one-on-one again, he would definitely no longer be at a disadvantage.
"Hmph, battle is not just about the present, but also about the future. You, as you are now, have no stamina left!"
Zephyr snorted coldly.
In these three days, Zephyr fought steadily, leaving Ashura Doji helpless.
But Ashura Doji had to fight desperately to stop Zephyr from affecting the battles of other Executive Officers.
Therefore, Ashura Doji's stamina consumption was very high. In just three days, Ashura Doji's stamina was almost completely exhausted.
As he spoke, Zephyr's body suddenly emitted wisps of white smoke, clearly indicating that he was instantly boosting his overall strength using the Life Return technique.
"Arm Punch·Gun Shot!!"
Zephyr suddenly accelerated, his speed so fast that Ashura Doji almost didn't react.
Ashura Doji gathered all his remaining strength onto the di mie sword, squeezing out his last bit of stamina.
As a Grand Swordmaster, no matter what, you must believe in the sword in your hand. Even if the enemy is unstoppable, you can still gather all your belief and strength into this single sword, unleashing a power that surpasses your own limits!
"One Sword Style·Shura One Sword Slash!"
Ashura Doji's body also instantly emitted white smoke, and the Shura phantom suddenly solidified.
As the Shura raged, the power of this sword instantly sublimated, surpassing the power of any sword Ashura Doji had ever swung before!
"How can there still be such powerful strength!"
The moment the fist and sword collided, Zephyr felt the terrifying power from the fist. He didn't expect that even after using Life Return to strengthen himself, he still couldn't block the power of this sword.
"Ah!!!"
"Charge at them!!"
Ashura Doji's eyes turned red, desperately squeezing out his own power. With the sublimated power, he powerfully defeated Zephyr's arm punch and sent Zephyr flying back several hundred meters with a single slash.
"Cough cough, have I reached my limit?"
However, after sending Zephyr flying, Ashura Doji instantly fell to the ground, exited his human-beast form, and returned to his human form.
He felt as if his entire body was torn apart, and he had no strength left at all.
That last sword had exhausted all his strength. Although he had sent Zephyr flying, he had also lost because of it!
