The news brought by Borsalino made Sakaski's breath stop, and the rage and murderous intent in his chest suddenly disappeared without a trace at this moment.
He looked at Borsalino beside him with some suspicion, and Sakaski's face showed shock and hesitation.
"Vice Admiral Garp and Major General Roca were both killed by Yoriichi Tsugikuni?!"
“How is this possible!!”
At this moment, Sakaski didn't care about maintaining his stern image. He tried hard to control his emotions and asked in a low voice in disbelief.
As an admiral of the navy, he is well aware of the strength of Garp and Loca, and more importantly, these two strong men are acting together with Commander-in-Chief Sora and Borsalino.
Although Sakaski guessed that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's current strength might have expanded to a terrifying level, he never imagined that in such a short period of time, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi would be able to kill Vice Admiral Garp and Major General Roca in front of General Sora.
This is no longer a matter of ability.
If Tsugakuni Yoshiichiro could really do such a thing, the dimension of his power would probably exceed that of any top powerhouse.
While feeling deeply shocked by the deaths of Garp and Loka, Sakaski also realized the seriousness of the situation.
If this news spreads, it will have a devastating impact on the morale of their navy headquarters, and
What's more serious is that if their navy headquarters can't defeat Tsugikoku Yoshiichi
Their naval headquarters might be wiped out!
"Sakaski, nothing is impossible."
"You should have also felt the domineering aura on that battlefield. The two sides fighting were Tsugikuni Yoriichi and the commander-in-chief."
"Why didn't the warriors under Tsugikoku Yoshiichi appear on this battlefield?!"
"Because they know that the outcome of the battle here has no way of determining the final outcome."
When Borsalino said this, he still lost his usual casualness and cynicism. Under his sunglasses, Borsalino looked deeply at Sakaski in front of him quietly.
"Are you coming to the commander-in-chief's aid?"
"But the mission assigned to me by Marshal Zhan Guo is to lead my men to attack this island."
"Have you reported the deaths of Vice Admiral Garp and Major General Roca to Marshal Sengoku?! What was Marshal Sengoku's reaction?!"
What surprised Borsalino was that Sakaski, who hated evil and had a fiery temper, did not rush to follow Borsalino to the distant battlefield to support Commander-in-Chief Steel after hearing the news.
Instead, he asked without warning whether Borsalino had reported the news to Marshal Zhan Guo.
This sudden question made Borsalino's expression change, and then he pretended to understand and explained:
"I felt your presence and came to find you as soon as possible."
"The news of the deaths of Vice Admiral Garp and Major General Roca has not yet been reported to Marshal Sengoku."
When saying this, Borsalino narrowed his eyes slightly, pushed up his sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and his whole temperament seemed a little deep.
"In that case, let's report this to the Marshal and let him make the decision."
"Before that, I will first carry out the task he assigned to me!"
Although he knew that Commander-in-Chief Kong was in danger, Sakaski still looked cold-blooded and rigid, strictly carrying out the so-called "orders from above."
But for Sakaski, is he really someone who will meticulously carry out orders from his superiors?
Of course not. Don't be fooled by the stereotyped image he presents and simply think that he is a lapdog manipulated by the upper echelons of the navy and the world government.
If Sakaski was really a "good dog" in the eyes of the upper class, he would not have ignored orders and ordered the firing on the refugee ship when he was in charge of handling the O'Hara incident.
You know, there were not only O'Hara scholars on the refugee ship at that time, but also CP agents from the World Government who were responsible for investigating the O'Hara incident.
Although O'Hara's refugee ship was saved from destruction thanks to Tsugikuni Yoriichi's intervention, it can be seen from this that Sakaski is not a pure "good dog".
Everyone who can become a naval admiral has his own logic in doing things.
The same is true for Sakaski.
He killed all the pirates and ordered the firing on the O'Hara refugee ship. The underlying logic was to find ways to prevent the world from falling into chaos.
The "rose" he buried deep in his heart is his "white moonlight".
It seems that Yoshikazu Tsugakuni's strength has leaped into another dimension. Even Vice Admiral Garp and Major General Loka were killed by Yoshikazu Tsugakuni.
It seems that it has become impossible to avoid chaos in this world.
At this moment, it seemed that he and a "mere admiral" could no longer swing the balance. Although he was confident in his own strength, he did not think he could gain any advantage from the hands of powerful men like Yixiao and Mihawk.
He had fought against the New Navy and knew how powerful they were.
The outcome of a one-on-one fight is unpredictable, so wouldn’t a one-on-many fight be a sure defeat?
"This guy Borsalino."
Sakaski was not a fool. He felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Borsalino's behavioral logic, but he could not catch Borsalino's tail.
"Moses Moses—"
"Marshal Zhan Guo, the operation failed."
“.”
In front of Sakaski, Borsalino took out a special Den Den Mushi and dialed a "dedicated line" with the Marshal.
Sakaski also turned his attention back to Huangmu who was not far away.
While the two generals were chatting, Huangmu, who had just been pierced through the body by the Borusali laser, did not act rashly.
Although he was proud, he also knew that he could not stop the two naval admirals. After seeing Borsalino, he had already begun to think of retreating.
But Sakaski would never give Aramaki such an opportunity. While Borsalino was contacting the headquarters, he attacked boldly. With a punch, lava flooded over Aramaki, the New Navy and others in the distance.
The attack was fierce, but in Huangmu's eyes, Sakaski's attack seemed to be missing something.
It was murderous intent. But it lacked the strong murderous intent just now.
Huang Mu had a vague sense of something in his heart, but he did not dare to be careless in the face of the huge lava eruption. His already huge body firmly blocked the new navy. The color of the bark on his body also changed, becoming a dark emerald green color close to black.
“Dongdongdongdong——”
The lava bombarded Huang Mu's body, burning him so much that he screamed. However, Sakaski's attack did not cause any real damage to his body. The charred skin on the tree trunk that blocked the lava was quickly replaced by new skin.
It's simply that Huangmu doesn't feel pain.
Borsalino, who was in contact with Sengoku, put away the Den Den Mushi thoughtfully. He had received the latest order from Marshal Sengoku.
What surprised Borsalino was that upon hearing about the death of his old comrade Garp, Sengoku's tone was surprisingly calm:
"Were both Major General Garp and Major General Roca killed?"
"Borsalino, you and Sakaski will lead our navy to the island. Establish a foothold first to defend against the new navy's counterattacks and attacks. Do not rashly advance into the island."
"If there are any new instructions, I will inform you as soon as possible."
In just three simple sentences, Borsalino did not hear any fluctuation in Zhan Guo's voice.
"As expected of the Warring States Marshal"
Borsalino muttered to himself, silently put away the Den Den Mushi, and shouted directly to Sakaski who was not far away:
"General Sakaski, the Marshal ordered us to establish a foothold first and not to venture too far into the island."
It was clearly an internal military order, but Borsalino shouted it out loud and clear, and almost everyone on the battlefield could hear it.
Even the new marines in the distance heard it. The new marines, who themselves lacked top-tier experts, were already considering withdrawing when they saw two admirals from the Marine Headquarters enter. Upon hearing this, Aramaki acted decisively. He threw his tree-like hands over everyone in the Marine Headquarters while shouting behind him:
"Retreat first, I'll cover your retreat!"
"Report the battle situation here to Mr. Yixiao!"
Upon hearing this, the New Navy members began to retreat rapidly, and the tree man's big hand also covered Borsalino, Sakaski and others.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't treat me as if I don't exist—"
Borsalino looked calm. He raised his head slightly to look at the huge wooden hand covering him. He raised his arm slightly and extended his index finger. Then, a laser beam shot out and directly hit the wooden man's arm, exploding.
The power contained in the tiny laser was unimaginable. The huge wooden man's arm, which was dozens of meters long, actually exploded directly. For a moment, wood chips flew everywhere, and strong winds swept across the battlefield, pressing all the headquarters navy to the point that they could not stand up straight.
On the other side, Sakaski also swung his fist. His giant lava fist expanded to the same size as the wooden man's arm. He used force against force and actually pushed the wooden man's arm back directly.
One of his hands was cut off, and the other was suppressed by Sakaski's power. A low cry came from the mouth of the tree man that Huangmu transformed into, and his upper body rooted in the ground leaned back and fell straight to the ground.
Thick dust was swept away rapidly in all directions by the hurricane.
The small flowers in the grass were uprooted by the hurricane's brilliance, and the crystal pollen had unknowingly stained the uniforms of the new navy and was inhaled into their mouths.
Before Sakaski and Borsalino knew it, a large number of headquarters navy soldiers behind them fell to the ground without any warning and fell into a coma.
Even the generals Sakaski and Borsalino were caught in the trap at first. After realizing that something was wrong, they immediately burst out with powerful domineering aura, forcibly offsetting the effect of Aramaki's devil fruit.
When the two men looked up at the fallen wooden man, they found that the tree man had become a "human-shaped" green forest. Where could they feel the breath of Huangmu?
"oh--"
"Nice ability, very interesting guy—"
Borsalino acted a bit cold-blooded. Many navy soldiers from the headquarters were pierced by Aramaki's vines, sucked dry of water and lost their lives, but at this moment, he could still sigh at the excellent ability of his opponent.
It's hard to imagine that he is the admiral of the Navy Headquarters.
I don’t know whether to say he is cold-blooded or that he has a “big heart”. He is so used to seeing people die that he no longer cares about life and death.
Under the leadership of Sakaski and Borsalino, the landing force of the Navy Headquarters finally stabilized its position on the island.
The new navy did not take the initiative to attack the positions occupied by the navy headquarters. The originally tragic battlefield suddenly became strangely quiet.
On the sea.
On the command ship No. 0, Zhan Guo stood at the bow, looking up at the floating island suspended on the sea in the distance with a calm expression.
There was no joy or sadness in his eyes, only deep fatigue.
From time to time, powerful domineering aura burst out from the island, and black lightning flashed in the sky above the island from time to time. After the thunder disappeared, a strong hurricane swept out from the island, and even stirred up waves of more than ten meters high on the sea.
Suddenly, a black magic circle with intricate patterns appeared out of thin air on the deck behind Zhan Guo. Black lightning flashed on the patterns of the magic circle, and the Five Elder Stars slowly "floated" up from the magic circle and appeared on the deck.
Marcus Maz Saint seemed to have understood the battle situation on the island. As soon as he appeared, he directly asked Zhan Guo at the bow:
"Warring States!!!"
"Why didn't you order the generals to come to Cyborg's aid?!"
"Did you know that Garp and Loka were killed by Yoriichi Tsugakuin?!"
Marcus Maz Saint's voice was very loud, and the other Five Elders who appeared on the ship with him also looked at Zhan Guo with different expressions, waiting for his answer.
"The new navy is very powerful. There is a user of the Nature-type Mori-Mori Fruit whose strength is probably comparable to that of an admiral."
"I made this decision so that the troops could arrive at the island smoothly and have a place to stay on the island."
Zhan Guo spoke calmly, slowly turned his head, and looked at the five elder stars behind him with tired eyes.
"A natural system comparable to that of a general?"
"Is that Aramaki from the new navy?"
"Is he so powerful?"
Seeing the tired look in Zhan Guo's eyes, the Five Elders could not blame him too much. Moreover, Zhan Guo's decision could not be said to be wrong. They also understood that the Marine Headquarters was short of cutting-edge combat power.
Aokiji is seriously injured, and Zefa needs to stay at the headquarters.
It was thought that by letting Kong, Garp and others attack Tsugikoku Enishi and other new naval high-ranking officials, they could "achieve success in one battle", but what was shocking was that Garp and Roca were killed in such a short time.
At this point, if the Five Elders do not step forward, the action of the Marine Headquarters will undoubtedly fail.
"Zhan Guo, take your men and clean out those rebel scum."
“Don’t let us down again!”
Izambalon V. Nasujuro was very decisive. After warning Sengoku, he took off into the air and flew towards the floating island in the distance.
The other five elder stars also looked at Zhan Guo coldly one after another, and flew away from the ship. For a moment, bursts of sonic booms were heard from the air.
After taking a look at the backs of the Five Elders and others as they left, Zhan Guo tightly grasped the handrail in front of him with both hands, directly squeezing the iron handrail out of shape, his eyes full of bloodshot.
Defeat the New Navy?!
Oh!
Would he, Zhan Guo, still consider such a thing at this time? The strength of the Navy Headquarters was greatly damaged. At this time, it was necessary to properly balance the strength of both the Navy Headquarters and the World Government!
If their naval headquarters still wants to retain a certain degree of autonomy, this is what must be done!
As for how to balance.
How else can we balance it?!
