The moment Cass knelt, the navy surged toward him.

"Die!"

Snack wouldn't let such an opportunity pass by. He swung his blade horizontally, his Armament Haki becoming even more intense, and slashed towards the direction of the Marines and Kass.

"One cut in two - Explosive cutter!" Snag's eyes were ferocious, and a gale almost swept out from the blade, cracking the ground as it passed.

If this strike lands, Cass and the marines gathered around him will likely be cut in two.

Bang!

Just then, as if struck by a heavy blow, his chest caved in, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

"cough!"

Snag slid several meters on the ground, coughed up a few more mouthfuls of blood, and looked up, shouting, "Who is it?!"

Two figures slowly approached from a distance.

"This willpower is still a bit weak."

An elderly man with short hair dragged a familiar figure along as they slowly approached.

Beside him, an elderly man wearing glasses withdrew his hand and walked over as well.

"Douglas Cass's willpower is about arousing people's emotions and will, but the clone soldiers themselves don't have much emotion. Unlike normal humans, they can't unleash strong emotions like ordinary marines. In the end, their thoughts are too simple, which is both good and bad."

The old man said calmly, "They can reliably unleash this kind of defense formed by will, but if they want to improve it further, they can't do it on their own for the time being. Only normal humans with complex thoughts can be aroused to have even greater power. Courage and willpower are the most precious when they come from people with complex thoughts."

"Pfft, hahaha, I don't understand any of this, but it's already quite impressive that I've been able to withstand this man for so long!"

The short-haired old man chuckled, casually tossing down the Rezan he was carrying, and looked at Cass, saying, "Well done!"

"Marshal Sengoku, Lieutenant General Garp..." Cass looked at the two, bowed his head and said apologetically, "I am very sorry that I failed to defeat Snag."

"I'm not a marshal anymore, just call me Grand Inspector."

Sengoku chuckled and waved his hand, then looked at Snag, "Well... next up is you."
