Kyle constructed another hidden passage, and without hesitation, pulled the trigger. The Sea Stone bullet flew out along the hidden passage Kyle had created.
Aokiji, who was using an ice saber to block Esdeath's shura sword, suddenly felt a strong sense of danger on his forehead.
He instinctively elementalized and quickly moved his body.
"Bang!!!"
A Sea Stone bullet appeared abruptly and blew apart Aokiji's head!
"Ice Slaughter - Instant Slash!"
Esdeath seized this opportunity, and her shura sword instantly slashed towards the shattered ice sculpture on the ice ground.
"Tear!"
A streak of bright red blood spurted from the ground and splashed onto the ice ground. Aokiji emerged from the ice ground not far away, clutching his chest.
Even though his body was ice, being wounded and then invaded by the ice's cold still made him feel bone-chillingly cold.
"Limitless Pirates' strongest sniper, Kyle!"
Aokiji said gravely, touching the constantly bleeding wound on his cheek. He then froze the wound with his ice to prevent the bleeding from stopping.
If he hadn't reacted quickly just now, that bullet would have probably hit his head directly. And that was a Sea Stone bullet; if he had been hit, coupled with Esdeath nearby, he might have been instantly killed!
Thinking of this, even as a Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit user, he instantly felt a chill down his spine.
"Can't find him!"
He wanted to use Kenbunshoku Haki to trace the direction from which the bullet was fired to find Kyle's figure, but he couldn't find him!
When he wanted to continue searching carefully, Esdeath had already raised her shura sword and slashed towards him again, preventing him from searching for Kyle carefully at all.
He could only secretly keep a portion of his attention to prevent being ambushed again.
And after Kyle sniped Aokiji, he immediately shifted his position.
From then on, Kyle roamed the entire battlefield, specifically sniping those top combatants. Although Kyle couldn't kill them in one shot, he could cooperate with the Pirate side's top combatants to suppress the World Government side's top combatants.
Furthermore, Kyle's presence made all the top combatants extremely wary, to the point that they didn't dare to go all out when attacking; they had to guard against Kyle's next snipe.
This resulted in Kyle single-handedly threatening all the World Government's top combatants, causing their combat power to implicitly decrease by ten percent!
As the battle continued, the World Government's reinforcements from the rear were rushing over.
But at the same time, the Limitless Pirates also dispatched all their Fishman troops, a total of 100,000 Fishman troops, to dive into the Sea with more torpedoes and submarines to intercept the incoming warships.
They would destroy the incoming warships as much as possible, and if they couldn't, they would at least delay them from coming to the battlefield for support.
"Damn it, the battle situation is in an absolute disadvantage!"
Carlo Palada, the only top combatant from the World Government who had not been deployed and was specifically guarding the rear, watched as the World Government's situation fell into an unprecedented disadvantage, making him extremely anxious.
"The number of top combatants appearing on the Pirate side is even greater than we previously predicted, especially those Pirate Crew, besides the Captain, also have many top combatants under their command. These were things we hadn't considered before!"
Before the war began, they had already analyzed the Pirate side's top combatants, but because they had underestimated the combat power of the members under the command of those Pirate Crew, they were now in an absolute disadvantage.
The World Government and Marine had previously focused only on the Captains of the various Pirate Crew. Even people like Reinhardt under the Flying Pirates and Rhea of the Limitless Pirates, who hadn't made many moves, were not counted among the top combatants.
After all, the World Government had long given up on the New World, which meant they hadn't had many encounters with Rhea and the others, so they didn't know that some members under the command of Pirate Crew had grown to the level of top combatants.
But these were not the most important things. What worried Carlo Palada the most were the three men in the sky blocking Nox.
Under his observation, Aymar had received special attention from Nox and was already seriously injured. If this continued, Aymar would definitely be dealt with by Nox.
Even if Aymar wasn't killed by Nox, he would soon withdraw from the team surrounding Nox. At that time, Garp and Ivanov alone would not be able to stop Nox, and might even be counter-killed by Nox.
If Nox couldn't be held back, then this war would also end here.
That was the World's strongest man, an existence capable of killing the Gorosei. If he couldn't be held back, he couldn't even imagine how many top combatants present would be killed by Nox.
Nox's threat was countless times greater than Kyle's hidden sniping!
"We must hold back Nox!"
Thinking of this, Carlo stepped on Moonwalk and rushed towards the battlefield where Nox was.
"Chaos!"
At this moment, Nox slashed his Seven Star Sword towards the weak point of Garp's fist, but at the critical moment, an invisible chaotic force enveloped Nox, causing the trajectory of the descending Seven Star Sword to deviate slightly!
As a result, that slash, which could have sent Garp flying hundreds of meters down from the sky, only pushed Garp back a dozen meters.
"A strange Devil Fruit that can influence my thoughts!"
After Carlo appeared, Nox immediately locked onto him. That force just now had affected his judgment, causing that slash to deviate from his intended trajectory.
"You guys attack, I'll be responsible for restraining him!"
Carlo shouted loudly.
The Devil Fruit he ate was the Paramecia - Chaos Fruit. It didn't have extreme offensive power or extreme defensive power, but it had an extreme auxiliary effect in this battle.
"Crushing Vacuum!"
"Bone Fist - Star Shatter!"
"Thunderclap!"
Hearing Carlo's words, Garp and the other two immediately attacked Nox frantically again. Carlo, acting as support, stayed away from their battlefield and was responsible for assisting and interfering with Nox from the side.
With Carlo's addition, Garp and the others could truly hold back Nox, unlike before when every moment felt like walking on a tightrope, where a slight mistake could lead to the tragedy of someone being instantly killed.
"Interesting, that strange power can not only affect my mind but also influence reality, causing chaos in fundamental rules like magnetic fields and gravity fields!"
While fighting Garp and the other three, Nox began to analyze the ability of this Devil Fruit, and at the same time, he was looking for an opportunity to break the stalemate and achieve an instant kill.
Watching Garp and the others finally manage to stably hold back Nox with his assistance, Carlo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This way, the battlefield was at least stabilized. Once the World Government's reinforcements arrived continuously, their World Government would have a chance to reverse the disadvantage.
