Not long after Jiguo Yuanyi and Yixiao left, Garp rushed to the battlefield.
At this time, the wreckage of the warships destroyed by Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's slash floated to the surface of the sea one after another, blocking the entire sea route.
Garp's figure descended from the sky and stood on a floating board, looking at the scene in the canyon with a shock in his heart. In the sea, from time to time, surviving sailors swam out of the sea, but many people were buried in the sea along with the warships, and not even a body was left.
In the river channel where the current was almost forbidden, a very faint red blood stain appeared.
It only took a few minutes from the time Garp felt Tsugikuni Yoriichi's domineering aura to the time he rushed to the battlefield.
But in such a short period of time, the vanguard led by Kuzan was almost wiped out.
"Kuzan."
Garp stood on the float, scanning the battlefield for Kuzan. This young admiral was one of Garp's most promising mid-century navy officers.
Since his youth, Kuzan's growth experience has been inseparable from Garp. It can be said that Kuzan was almost trained by Garp himself. This emotional bond is even deeper than the emotional bond between Kuzan and Zephyr.
I thought that even if a battle broke out between Tsugikoku Yoshiichi and Kuzan, it wouldn't be as tragic as it is now.
But unexpectedly, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's mentality seemed to have changed.
The friendship between the Navy Headquarters and Yoriichi Tsugakuni was gradually eroded by the actions of the World Government.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Karp can also come to his senses.
There were only a few navy officers who were truly friends with Yoshikazu Tsugakuni, and when Yoshikazu Tsugakuni left the navy, he took hundreds of navy officers with him.
During the growth process of Yuichiro Tsugakuni, only Zephyr, Garp and others had some influence on him. Most of the time, Yuichiro Tsugakuni relied on his own talents and grew up wildly.
What's more, this is not the first time that the Navy Headquarters has taken action against Yoriichi Tsugikuni and his new navy under the orders of the World Government.
Even though in the past, Ji Kuniyoshi tried his best to avoid conflict with the Marine Headquarters for the sake of Zefa and others.
But this is not a reason for the Navy Headquarters to act so arrogantly.
This time, the large-scale deployment of the World Government and the Marine Headquarters has obviously touched the bottom line of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, and he will no longer show mercy to the invading navy.
Perhaps this is the warning that Yoriichi Tsugikuni gave to these old guys.
Garp's face was solemn as he quickly searched for Kuzan's traces. After searching for a long time, he still couldn't find Kuzan. Just when Garp's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, a shout from a distant corner of the shallows attracted Garp's attention.
"General Kuzan!! General Kuzan!!"
On the shallows, seven or eight sailors who survived Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's attack swam ashore. When they found Kuzan who was seriously injured, they were a little panicked. They didn't know what to do for a while and could only shout at Kuzan, hoping to wake him up.
The sailors who had just escaped death had no time to worry about their own situation, but instead were worried about the seriously injured Kuzan.
Looking at Kuzan holding the broken sword, how could these marines not understand why they had a chance to survive?!
However, the soldiers' shouts were of no use, as Kuzan was seriously injured and his life was hanging by a thread.
"Kuzan!!"
"Get out of the way!"
Just as the soldiers were shouting around Kuzan in confusion, Garp's voice like a bell reached their ears.
Immediately afterwards, Garp pushed aside several soldiers and came to Kuzan's side. Looking at Kuzan's miserable appearance, Garp was filled with anger, but for a moment he couldn't find someone to vent his anger on.
Blame Tsugikoku Yoriichi?! Since he was already on the right side, he had no right to blame the other party.
Blame the Celestial Dragons? Given his position, he probably couldn't vent his anger on the Celestial Dragons.
If Kuzan's injuries were not treated in time, he would die. Although Garp was full of anger at this time, he didn't care about so much. He quickly tore his cloak, gave Kuzan some simple treatment, then picked up Kuzan and quickly flew away in the direction he came from.
Even when Kuzan lost consciousness and was being transferred by Garp, he did not let go of the broken sword in his hand.
Great Sword 21 - The famous sword Kumu.
This weapon was the trophy obtained by Kuzan and Yunyi when they joined forces to defeat the Golden Lion. To a certain extent, it is also a symbol of the life-and-death friendship between Kuzan and Yunyi.
But at this moment, the once good friends had to turn against each other.
Garp carried the unconscious Kuzan and rushed back quickly. Halfway through, Garp passed by the Five Elders and the Knights of God.
The moment their figures met, Garp turned his head slightly and glanced at the Five Elders. He had no intention of stopping to say hello and quickly disappeared into the strait.
"Um?!"
"Why did Garp go back? Is the person he's holding in his arms Admiral Kuzan?!"
The Five Elders and the Knights of God, who were hurrying on their way, stopped and landed on several floating boards, looking in the direction where Garp had left.
In a quick glance, Saint Satan also saw clearly Garp and the person in his arms. His face showed surprise and shock, as if he could not believe that the admiral of the navy was defeated by the enemy in such a short time.
"It's General Kuzan, no doubt about it."
"What on earth happened?!"
"The Admiral of the Navy was defeated just like that!?"
The expression on Marcus Mazsheng's face also became extremely solemn.
There is a reason why the admirals are called the strongest force in the navy. Even the Five Elders attach great importance to strong men like Kuzan.
But what was unexpected was that a strong man of Kuzan's level was defeated so easily. This was something the Five Elders had not thought of at first.
"The enemy's strength is probably beyond our initial estimation."
"He must have gotten stronger again."
"What should we do? Should we continue the operation?"
Izambaron V. Nasujuro's emotions fluctuated violently, and he subconsciously touched his neck while saying this.
For some reason, seeing Kuzan who was seriously injured and dying at this moment reminded him of the experience of being beheaded by Yoshikazu Tsugakuin.
Although he possessed an "immortal body", Izambalon V. Nasujuro felt a strong throbbing in his heart for no reason. The uneasy feeling was like a warning to him, making him want to retreat.
However, the other Five Elders did not have the same experience as Izambaron V. Nasujuro. Kuzan's serious injury made them more determined to attack Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
Yuichiro Tsugakuni is really too young, and no one can be sure whether his strength will become even stronger if he is given a few more years.
I can't afford to wait, and I can't afford to take the risk.
"Let's go and see what's happening up ahead."
"Our intentions must have been exposed, but so what?!"
"We must bring down Tsugikuni Yoriichi and his new navy, Toru."
Before Saint Satan could finish his words, a golden light suddenly flashed across the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the light descended behind the Five Elders.
Saint Satan sensed something strange, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he quickly turned his head to look behind him. What he saw was a young and indifferent face. Light and shadow penetrated from the top of the canyon to the bottom of the valley, shining on the young man's face. The flame pattern on the enemy's forehead was extremely eye-catching in the sunlight.
The black knife slashed towards the back of Saint Satan's neck. Seeing that the blade was about to hit him, Saint Satan suddenly activated his ability.
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi!!!"
Low cries came from Topman Wakulisheng and others, and everyone's attention was focused on Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
In the face of Tsugikuni Yoriichi's attack, except for the attacked person, Saint Satan, who reacted the fastest among the others, the leader of the Knights of God, Saint Figaland Galin.
The rapier at his waist had already been drawn out. At the same time that Jigoku Yoshiichi swung his sword and slashed at Satan Sheng, Garin Sheng also stabbed towards Jigoku Yoshiichi, and the tip of the sword reached Yoshiichi's chest.
At the critical moment, Jigoku Yoshiichi was planning to take off Satan Sheng's head in exchange for his life, but he suddenly felt a momentary delay in his body.
This is one of the abilities of Jaigolucia Satan, the Evil Eye.
One of the legendary abilities of the Ox-Ghost is that anyone stared at by its evil eyes will experience hallucinations and soon die from the wear and tear of their spirits. This is a curse, but it is also one of the abilities closest to that of a god.
Although Saint Satan's abilities are not as strange and terrifying, they should not be underestimated.
If the target of his ability was not Yoriichi Tsugikuni, ordinary enemies would be unable to move at all under his ability.
However, even such a terrifying ability could only delay Tsugakuko Yuichi's movements for a moment.
However, it was this momentary delay that gave Satan Saint a chance to escape. Satan Saint quickly leaned back, and the sharp black knife in Jiguo Yuanyi's hand almost slashed across Satan Saint's nose, narrowly avoiding Jiguo Yuanyi's attack.
At the same time, Garin Sheng's stab also hit Yunyi's chest.
However, what was strange was that the position of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's heart turned into a circle of hollow at this moment, and at the edge of the hollow, golden flames were burning quietly.
"Elementalization?! Nature?"
"How is this possible?!"
The attack missed and Jialin Sheng's face changed. He quickly dodged and jumped back quickly, leaving the floating board under his feet.
The next moment after Jialin Sheng flew back, the golden flame that "grew" from Ji Guoyuan's back condensed into a giant fist, which directly hit the place where Jialin Sheng originally stood.
"Bang——"
In an instant, the float was shattered.
When the waves splashed up, Saint Satan and Saint Garin flew out one after another. The stirred up sea water turned into rain flowers, pouring down and landing on the Five Elder Stars and the Knights of God who had already scattered.
The waves disappeared, and the figure of Yuichiro Tsugikuni appeared in the center of the water curtain formed by rain flowers.
Everyone looked intently and happened to see the golden flames "seeping" back into Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's skin and disappearing. The waves that were stirred up did not touch Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's body at all.
"Your reaction speed is very fast!"
"You managed to dodge this?"
Ji Guoyuan gently placed the long sword in his hand against his shoulder, and looked at the frightened Saint Satan with a deep gaze.
He and Yixiao rushed to the Crimson Canyon to intercept and kill him, so how could they just strike once and then leave like that?!
The movements of Garp, the Five Elders and others could not be hidden from Yoriichi Tsugikuni at all. In order to avoid being entangled by Garp and also in the hope that Kuzan could receive timely treatment, he pretended to leave.
The goal is to kill the Five Elders!
In his will, Yoshiichi Tsugikuni had no intention of showing mercy to Kuzan's men, but he found it difficult to kill Kuzan or watch him die.
Jiguo Yuanyi is not a hesitant person, but he can't be ruthless and heartless.
Because of this, taking advantage of the time difference and killing the Five Elder Stars became Tsugikuni Yoriichi's plan.
If possible, he would get rid of the Five Elders here.
But now it seems that he may not be able to do it under the protection of so many people.
However, Yunyi didn't care. Being able to slow down the marching pace of these people and give the new navy on the "bridgehead" more time to make adequate preparations was also part of the plan.
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi, since you're here, then stay here forever!!"
"That's perfect, it saves us the trouble of looking for you!"
When Shepard ten Peter Saint saw Yuichi Tsugakuin appear, he put his hands behind his waist and took out two peculiarly styled pistols and pulled the trigger at Yuichi Tsugakuin.
"Bang--"
Gunshots rang out in the canyon. Two bullets, blessed with armed color domineering, flew at a high speed and arrived in front of Yuanyi in an instant. But just at the moment when the bullets were close to Jiguo Yuanyi, the gray-white bullets suddenly exploded, and the white stone foam formed a cloud of mist, which instantly enveloped Jiguo Yuanyi.
Although I don’t know what these powders are made of, I can guess that they are not supplements.
Ji Guoyuan held his breath and concentrated, dancing the long sword in his hand. Before the stone foam could fall on him, a gust of wind from the sword directly dispersed the stone foam.
The moment Shepard ten Pit Saint made his move, the Knights of God wearing light helmets attacked Yoriichi Tsugikuni from all directions.
It is worth noting that several people from the Knights of God deliberately avoided the stone foam in the air, while some people ignored the stone foam and directly rushed towards Yoshikazu Tsugakuni. Afterimages appeared around Yoshikazu Tsugakuni.
"It should be something like seastone powder, not some highly toxic substance."
"Otherwise, some people wouldn't have to avoid it deliberately, while others wouldn't have to."
Although he thought so in his heart, Tsugikuni Yoriichi had no intention of breathing. Facing the siege of the Knights of God, Yoriichi lightly slashed the wings behind him, suddenly rose into the air, and disappeared on the spot.
"Where are you going?!"
Just as Yoriichi Tsugakuni was about to leave the battlefield, Izambaro V. Nasujuro, wearing a black robe and holding a black scythe as tall as two people, appeared above Yoriichi Tsugakuni's head and slashed at him.
Yoshiichi Tsugikoku, who was in the air, seemed to have expected this. He lightly blocked the long sword in his hand, deflecting the slash of Izambalon V. Nasujuro and passing by the opponent.
"stand"
Izambaron V. Nasujuro tried to stop Tsugikuni Yoriichi, but strangely, when he opened his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Izambaron V. Nasujuro belatedly covered his neck. Although the black flames had covered the wound, his pupils were still filled with surprise.
When was he stabbed?! Nasu Juro was completely unaware.
