"kill!"
Following Smoker's order, the new navy members drew their long swords from their waists and rushed directly towards Carrot and Coby.
The ordinary soldiers who will be left behind by the new navy at the Wanguo headquarters are generally the weaker ones in the army. The stronger navy are basically sent to other areas to carry out the task of hunting down pirates.
The dispatch system of the new navy is quite different from that of the naval headquarters. The navy stationed at the headquarters of Marinford are often elite recruits from all over the world.
But the new navy is just the opposite. Most of the ordinary navy temporarily stationed at the headquarters are still young sergeants in the training stage. Only the commanders are the elite among the new navy, because only the most elite commanders can train the most elite subordinates.
Smoker stood at the outermost edge of the battle formation, watching coldly as his subordinates surrounded and killed Carrot and Coby.
However, compared to these grassroots sergeants of the new navy, Carrot and Coby are obviously the more "elite" ones.
The three members of the New Marines formed a small formation, swords drawn, and attacked Carrot and Coby from different directions. Facing the pirates, they no longer distinguished between men and women. Furthermore, Carrot, who appeared somewhat frail due to her female identity, became the New Marines' primary target.
Two trios rushed towards Carrot, and one trio rushed towards Coby.
Although the deck was spacious enough and the new navy had a sufficient number of people, only nine people launched an attack on the enemy at the same time. After all, the attack space was limited, and if there were more people, they would only hinder each other and would not be able to maximize their individual abilities.
"Be careful, Kirby, these guys are tough!"
These new navy officers under Smoker are basically young people who graduated from naval academies. Although the strength of their two-color domineering is average, they are quite skilled in using it. Therefore, their offensive is full of threats in the eyes of Carrot.
Gallot, who was surrounded by six people, reminded Coby and took action first. Before the navy who were surrounding her could get closer, she had already found a target and attacked first.
With her extraordinary agility, Garrot dodged the slash of the marine in front of her by turning her body to the side, and then raised her back leg and hit the opponent's lower abdomen with a knee strike. The marine who suffered a heavy blow immediately paused, and his body immediately went limp, losing his combat effectiveness.
Just when Gallot succeeded in her attack, the other five marines also approached. Facing the encirclement, Gallot jumped up and jumped out of the encirclement directly. While dodging, Gallot's toes hit the back of a marine hard, and then he successfully squeezed into another marine.
The rest of the people quickly adjusted their posture after reacting, turned around and rushed towards Gallot. However, Gallot, who had jumped out of the encirclement, had enough space. She moved around and attacked continuously. In less than a minute, she had knocked all the navy soldiers who attacked her to the ground.
At the same time, the battle on Coby's side also came to a temporary end. Unlike Carrot's fighting style, Coby's fighting style can be said to be "open and close".
Relying on his outstanding Armament Haki, Coby did not dodge when facing the attack. He directly attached Armament Haki to his arms, forcibly resisting the attacks of the navy, and then relying on his outstanding strength and physique to directly counterattack.
The three opponents couldn't even last a single round in front of Coby before being knocked to the ground.
“Tsk—”
Smoker, who was standing outside the battle formation, saw the performance of Carrot and Coby. He actually didn't expect these young marines to be able to defeat the two of them, but when he saw that the other party knocked down nine marines so easily, Smoker's face finally showed some dissatisfaction.
Even though they have the advantage in numbers, they have no way to make use of it, which is not what Smoker wants to see.
But at the same time, Smoker also had a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of Carrot and Coby.
If the opponent's strength was only at the level shown, there would be no way for the two of them to leave the ship safely!
On the deck, there was no need for Smoker to give any orders. When the sailors who were surrounding Carrot and Coby saw their companions being knocked down by the enemy, three teams of three soldiers immediately rushed out from the team and surrounded and killed them.
The other navy members were not completely idle either. While their companions were attacking the enemy, they were also carefully watching the fighting methods of Carrot and Coby, hoping to find some flaws or breakthroughs from them.
No navy officer had any intention of opening fire. Shooting rashly in such a relatively limited space would only accidentally injure their companions.
The soldiers who surrounded Garrott and Coby in this round could hold out longer. Obviously, they also had some basic understanding of the enemy's fighting style through the hard work of their partners before.
However, the gap in absolute strength cannot sometimes be made up by some simple, improvised tactics.
After a few muffled sounds, several sailors fell out of the battlefield, causing the eyelids of the surrounding sailors to twitch slightly.
Two groups of nearly twenty navy soldiers were knocked down by the enemy and lost their combat effectiveness. The morale of the new navy has obviously declined.
Smoker's expression grew colder, and he waved behind him.
Seeing this, the adjutant standing behind him nodded silently, quickly drew out the long sword from his waist, then leaned forward, quickly crossed the army formation, and rushed towards Coby and Garrott in the center.
Smoker's adjutant is a captain. Those who can become captains in the new navy are all outstanding guys.
Coby, who had just knocked the enemy away, had no time to catch his breath when a white shadow suddenly flashed across his sight.
He only had time to cross his hands above his head before the shining long sword came down and hit Coby's arms. A crisp golden sound was also heard on the deck.
“That’s a lot of force!”
When Coby looked up, he saw a square-faced man wearing a military cap and a cloak, and his expression changed immediately.
This enemy was obviously different from the ordinary navy he had encountered before.
Before Coby could think about it, he had just seen the person coming when the other party suddenly drew his knife. At the same time, he raised his leg and kicked Coby in the waist and abdomen.
When Coby raised his arm to block, his abdomen was completely unprotected, and the opponent accurately seized this flaw of Coby.
However, Coby also has rich combat experience, and unfortunately, his speed is not slower than his opponent, and his combat awareness is also pretty good. When the opponent raised his leg to kick, Coby exerted force with his feet, jumped back lightly, and accurately controlled the distance between the two sides, narrowly avoiding the opponent's kick.
However, the lieutenant had no intention of chasing Coby even though his attack missed. Instead, he slashed at Garrott beside him with the long sword in his hand.
At first sight, he actually planned to attack both Coby and Carrot at the same time.
Carrot obviously noticed the sudden appearance of the navy. When the other party swung his sword, he jumped back like Coby and quickly created distance.
Coby and Gallot, who were standing parallel to each other, looked at each other and quickly reached a tacit understanding. They adjusted their postures and attacked the naval lieutenant from the left and right.
Coby took the lead and rushed forward, punching the lieutenant in the face. The lieutenant held the long sword in his hand and quickly blocked Coby's fist, but at the same time, a delicate cry came from behind Coby.
“Drink!”
A figure jumped out from behind Coby and kicked the lieutenant in the chest.
The lieutenant, unable to react, was struck hard in the chest, losing his balance and falling backward. With the gate wide open and exposed to numerous holes, Coby seized this opportunity and suddenly changed his tactics. He suddenly grabbed the lieutenant's right arm with one hand, dove down, and landed directly on the lieutenant's body, quickly grabbing the lieutenant's trouser leg with the other hand.
With a loud shout from Coby's mouth, the lieutenant was thrown heavily to the ground by Coby's back throw.
The huge impact force caused the lieutenant's body to emit a dull loud noise the moment it touched the deck.
The lieutenant's armament color was unable to cover his entire body. He groaned softly after being hit hard, and felt severe pain all over his body. He could no longer stand up and attack.
Under the combined attack of Coby and Carrot, the lieutenant sent by Smoker was defeated in an instant.
The enemy's strength was more or less beyond the navy's expectations. Seeing that their commander was actually defeated by the enemy, the navy's ferocity was completely aroused.
At this moment, they no longer had any thoughts about strategies and battle formations. Dozens of navy soldiers in the front roared, and then rushed forward to attack Coby and Carrot.
How could such a disorganized attack have any effect on people of Coby and Carrot's level?
The two men fought back while being surrounded by the navy. One navy after another was knocked down by them. The battle gradually became one-sided.
On the battlefield, Coby knocked down another navy with a punch. Up to now, a certain emotion in his heart was activated. Not only did he not feel any fatigue in his body, but Coby felt that the blood in his body began to boil, and he became more and more courageous as the battle went on.
As for Carrot, relying on her nimble body, the offensive of the new navy posed no threat to her. Instead, such a battle made the innocent and cheerful Carrot feel like playing. Her smiling face made the surrounding navy even more indignant and worked harder.
"Get out of my way!!!"
Just when Coby and Carrot thought they could easily deal with these marines and take Luffy away, a loud shout came from outside the battle formation.
A cloud of white smoke surged past the feet of the crowd and arrived in front of Coby in just a blink of an eye. The white smoke turned into a fist, attached with armed color domineering, and smashed into Coby's chest fiercely.
The sudden attack was somewhat unexpected. Coby's confidence had soared due to his consecutive victories, and at this moment his vigilance was weakened. The enemy's attack took advantage of this opportunity.
“Bang!!!”
The smoke fist hit Coby's chest hard. Although Coby didn't have time to dodge, he protected his chest with armed color domineering in time. Under the heavy blow, Coby flew back, and his boots rubbed violently with the iron plate under his feet, leaving two black shoe marks.
“Hmm!”
With a low groan, Coby stood firm. When he looked up, he saw the smoke attacking him rapidly retreating.
At the same time, the navy who surrounded him and Gallot quickly made way for them.
At the end of the road, a young general with ten hands behind his back and white hair was staring at Coby with a cold face.
The cloud of smoke also quickly shrank back to the position of the general's right fist.
There is no doubt that the attack just now should have been released by this young general.
The hands can turn into smoke.
"A devil fruit user?!"
Coby was a man of some experience, and when he saw Smoker's strange attack pattern, he immediately confirmed that the other party must be a devil fruit user.
Although there is no way to determine what kind of devil fruit ability the other party is using, this most basic judgment should be correct.
Smoker had no intention of talking at this moment. He just wanted to catch the two criminals in front of him as soon as possible!
Smoker had a premonition that the shaking of the ship just now was unusual. If his guess was correct, at the same time when these two people invaded the deck, someone should have sneaked onto the warship!
Moreover, the opponent's ability should not be very bad. At least, it should not be weaker than the two people in front of him.
When Smoker thought of this, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
He would never allow pirates to slip away under his nose, and would never allow such a thing that threatens the prestige of the new navy to happen.
"Give up!"
Smoker let out a low roar, and his lower body suddenly turned into a ball of white smoke. As the smoke shot out, Smoker's upper body quickly pressed towards Coby, and his ten hands, which were originally behind his back, were also tightly clenched in his hands.
Coby found the right moment and punched the moment the opponent approached him, but to his surprise, Smoker's body suddenly turned into a ball of white mist and exploded.
A small ball of white smoke wrapped in ten hands attacked Coby from the bottom up. At the same time, a figure quickly condensed into a physical entity behind Coby. While using ten hands to attack, Smoker clenched his right fist and smashed it straight towards Coby's back.
One in front and one behind, attacking from both sides.
Coby obviously sensed the threat from behind him, but at this moment, he could only take care of one thing.
Reaching out and grabbing the attacking Jutsu, facing the attack from behind, Coby could only cover his back with Armament Haki, ready to take the attack.
However, Gallot's reaction helped Coby get out of trouble.
Carrot's hands were flashing with electric sparks as she flew over and slammed into Smoker, who had condensed into a physical form behind Coby.
"Ability user?!"
Smoker's contact with the Minks was obviously very rare. Facing Carrot's attack, he didn't dare to fight at all. After muttering in surprise, he quickly transformed into an element and disappeared.
