Kizaru's warship began to sink slowly. The cautious Jeigolucia Satan and Tsugikoku Eriichi stopped fighting at the same time and stood on the deck confronting each other.
Borsalino had no intention of joining the battle, nor did he have the idea of siding with any side. After noticing that the warship was damaged, he organized the sailors on the ship to lower the lifeboat and let his subordinates leave first.
Kizaru understands what it means when gods fight, mortals suffer.
No matter how the war between Yoriichi Tsugikuni and the World Government develops, he will never let his subordinates stay here. The risk is too great.
"Everyone, abandon ship!"
"Don't stay here."
Kizaru shouted at the sailors on the side of the ship. At the same time, he seemed to have thought of something. He quickly turned around and entered the cabin to personally search whether there were any sailors who were still in the cabin and had not left.
Jeigolucia Satan noticed Kizaru's movements and immediately called out to Kizaru:
"General Borsalino!"
"Where are you going?"
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi has committed a capital crime by defying the World Government and attacking the Celestial Dragons."
"Borsalino, join us and execute him on the spot!"
After realizing that Tsugikuni Yoriichi was a difficult person, Jeigolucia Satan immediately wanted to recruit Kizaru, who was a ready-to-fight force.
When Ji Guoyuan heard this, he frowned and said coldly to Huang Yuan:
"Kizaru, are you planning to help these jiuyongjun accomplices?!"
"If that's the case, I will definitely not show mercy even to you!"
Yoshikazu Tsugakuni called Borsalino by his code name instead of calling him by his name directly, in order to distance himself from Kizaru as much as possible.
Although Tsugakuni Yoriichi still tried hard to argue his position, he knew very well that arguing his position would only be useful when facing questioning from other navy after killing the people of the current World Government.
If Satan Sheng and his group had left safely, he would probably not be able to stay in the navy.
The identity of a navy officer has more advantages than disadvantages for Yoshikazu Tsugakuni. If possible, he does not want to lose the identity of navy admiral, which will help his future actions.
Therefore, it is very important to shake Kizaru's position here.
In fact, whether it is Satan Saint or Tsugikoku Yoriichi, there is no meaning in trying to win over Kizaru to lean on themselves. As an admiral of the navy, how could Kizaru not have his own stance?
"That's really difficult—"
"As a Celestial Dragon, it is truly unacceptable to stop General Yoshiichi Tsugakuni from pursuing the Jiyu Army."
"but."
"It is indeed against the rules for General Tsugikoku Yoshiichi to attack the Celestial Dragons!"
"The position and ruling of the Knights of God are truly unfair, but as a navy, protecting the Celestial Dragons is our duty."
"It's really difficult—"
Borsalino, who had been called over, slowly turned around, looked at the two groups, and replied in a long tone. After talking for a long time, his words sounded like pure nonsense to Satan Saint and others.
Jiguo Yuanyi turned his head and looked at Kizaru, and his figure disappeared silently on the spot.
The next moment, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's figure suddenly appeared in front of Kizaru:
"It's difficult, so don't do it."
Tsugikoku Yoriichi's words fell into Kizaru's ears. The next second, Tsugikoku Yoriichi arrived in front of Kizaru and kicked Kizaru in the face with a whip kick. The terrifying domineering aura surged, and Kizaru's figure turned into a stream of light, instantly shattering the layers of walls on the warship and disappearing from everyone's sight.
Kicking Kizaru away, Jiguo Yuanyi grabbed the long sword in one hand and the scabbard in the other, glanced at Satan Sheng, and then slowly closed his eyes.
When attacking Kizaru, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi suddenly remembered what Kizaru had reminded the navy before: "Don't look here."
Previously, Yoriichi Tsugakuni had focused his attention on Satan Sheng and others and ignored his words. Now, after recalling Kizaru's "reminder", Yoriichi Tsugakuni used his observation Haki to discover that many navy officers and CP9 were still awake on the lifeboats on the sea.
Only some of them had burns and blood on their faces, looking like they had been attacked by Satan's holy power.
Yuichiro Tsugikuni wondered if Satan's ability to "shoot heads" was activated through line of sight.
Now that you have a guess in your mind, you need some action to verify it.
Blocking his sight didn't actually have much of an impact on Tsugikuni Yoriichi. His transparent world didn't need to rely on sight, and his observation Haki was also very strong. His perception of the surroundings was not weakened by closing his eyes.
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi is now also wondering how this Satan Saint he met now can, like some of the people with special abilities he met before, tell him what fruit he ate and what abilities he used as soon as they met.
Isn't it good to have an opponent like Wang Luffy? As soon as they meet, they tell their opponent that he is a "rubber man who ate the rubber fruit", even though he is Nika
But in Wang Luffy's self-perception, he is still very honest, isn't he?
"Um?!"
Seeing that Jigoku Yoshiichi closed his eyes, Jaygolucia Satan murmured softly. Although there was a hint of surprise on his face, the surprised expression quickly disappeared.
After a soft murmur, the black hexagram array under Saint Satan's feet began to spread rapidly towards the direction where Ji Guoyuan was standing. The people of the Knights of God now seemed to have no intention of joining the battle. They quickly dispersed in all directions and came to the side of the ship one after another, clearing the deck.
And Yuichiro Tsugikuni, who was standing at the cabin door, also felt an ominous aura approaching him rapidly. Without thinking much, he burst out with domineering aura and flew up directly.
At the moment of taking off into the air, Jigoku Yoshiichi immediately launched two slashes towards the direction where Satan Saint was.
The thunderous sound brought by Ba Chan's blast instantly filled the entire world.
"A pure swordsman, huh?"
"Since the beginning, I haven't used any other abilities. My Haki and Slash are very powerful, but my attack is too ostentatious."
The powerful slashing blow flew rapidly towards Saint Satan. After secretly analyzing it in his mind, Satan bent his six limbs and flew directly into the sky, disappearing from the deck in an instant.
After Satan Saint entered the form of "Bull Ghost", both his speed and strength increased greatly. Moreover, when he was in this state, his body exuded a terrifying domineering aura. When the domineering aura collided with each other, there were crackling sounds of thunder accompanying Satan Saint's movements.
Satan's every move is strengthened by various forces.
Although Jigoku Yoshiichi's slash was fast and had a large range, it was not difficult for Satan to dodge it.
"If this is all you can do, then he must die here today!"
Satan lowered his head slightly in the air and saw that Jiguo Yuan's missed slash left an "X"-shaped crack on the deck, and thought to himself.
In the air, Yoriichi Tsugikuni didn't care whether his slash was successful or not. He swept his observation Haki over the warship and realized that the navy had not completely retreated, so he stopped attacking Satan Saint with his slash.
Instead, his figure flashed and he flew rapidly towards Saint Satan.
Satan seemed to have no ability to float in the air. After losing the upward force, he began to fall slowly. Tsugikuni Yoshiichi also tried to seize this opportunity to attack and kill his opponent.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi's Observation and Killing skill is not very useful in aerial combat. If he wants to stay in the air, he cannot stop releasing his domineering aura. Even if he uses inertia to attack, there will be traces when the domineering aura drives his body.
Realizing that Yuichi Tsugakuma was attacking from the side, Satan Shengyi turned his head and his eyes fell directly on Yuichi Tsugakuma. Yuichi Tsugakuma's body, which was moving rapidly, suddenly stopped in mid-air and hovered in the air.
"Hmph!" With a cold snort from the mouth of Saint Satan, Satan quickly swung his staff and hit Tsugikuni Yoriichi directly on the head.
Although Tsugukuni Yoshiichi could clearly sense his opponent's attack, his body was completely paralyzed at that moment, and he had no way to evade it. The crutch came and hit Tsugukuni Yoshiichi directly on the head.
“Bang!!!!”
After a muffled sound, the sound barrier appeared around the rapidly falling Tsugakuinichi, and Tsugakuinichi's figure suddenly penetrated the deck of the warship and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Satan Saint's figure quickly landed on the deck. Although he had succeeded in one attack, he did not relax. He knew that this level of attack would not be able to kill Tsugikuni Yoriichi.
The moment his attack struck Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's head, he saw that his attack hadn't even cracked his opponent's head. The seemingly powerful counterattack wasn't enough to kill Tsugikoku Yoshiichi.
"Is this the strength of Haki of Tsugikuni Yoriichi?"
Saint Satan, who had landed on the deck, looked at the hole not far away and murmured.
However, just as he finished speaking, a long knife pierced out from the deck under Saint Satan's feet.
"Bang!"
As the sound of the deck cracking was heard, the wet Ji Guoyuan suddenly soared into the sky and approached directly in front of Saint Satan. The long sword in his hand had turned red, and a flash of fire directly engulfed Satan's vision.
"What?!"
Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's attack came too quickly. Not only was Satan unable to sense Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's breath before the attack, he was also unable to react in time when the attack came.
He only had time to let out a low cry before Tsugikuni Yoriichi's long sword pierced directly into Satan Sheng's heart.
“Ahhhhhhhh!!!”
A deafening scream rang out, and Jaygolucia Satansheng's body tilted and began to fall backwards.
However, although his screams sounded very shrill, his actions were not slow at all. He waved his hand and grabbed Ji Guoyuan on the chest. At the same time, Satan staggered backward and stood firmly on his feet, glaring at Ji Guoyuan.
And just at the moment when Satan's eyes fell on Yuichiro Tsugakuten, Yuichiro Tsugakuten felt the sluggishness coming from his body again. At this moment, his body seemed to be out of control again.
The enemy's strange ability made Yoshiichi Tsugakuni feel very uncomfortable. The next second, Satan's big hand grabbed Yoshiichi Tsugakuni and held him in his hand.
"That's all, Tsugikoku Yoriichi."
Grabbing Tsugikoku Yoriichi with one hand, Satan's gloomy face finally showed some joy. At the same time, the knife wound on Satan's chest was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Hmm?!”
Suddenly, Saint Satan seemed to feel something. He lowered his head slightly and looked at his heart. He found that after the wound on his chest healed, a burn scar was left, and there was a slight pain on this scar.
With every breath, there was a faint tingling sensation in the heart area.
"What's going on?"
He murmured softly, and Saint Satan's face darkened again.
The wound on his chest had clearly healed and no more blood was flowing, but Satan Sheng felt that his body was not as strong as before. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's attack had left an indelible mark on his body!
Yoriichi Tsugikoku, who was held in Satan's palm, seemed to have noticed something. He opened his eyes and his gaze fell directly on Satan's chest.
Satan's snow-white beard fluttered in the sea breeze. Through the hole in his clothes, Ji Guoyuan saw the scar on Satan's chest.
Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's gaze swept across Satan's face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
"Although it's still unclear how the opponent activates that immobilization-like ability."
"But judging from the battle just now, the 'Headshot' ability is no longer activated."
"Does it have anything to do with my sight?"
"Then could the ability to freeze someone be related to line of sight? Is he looking at me?"
"My previous guess was wrong. Is it related to the hexagram formation under his feet? Or is it a double-conditional trigger?"
"Although these two abilities are a bit tricky, they don't pose much of a threat to me."
"But correspondingly, it's not easy for me to kill him. Super-speed regeneration?"
"Since the red sword can leave scars, then..."
At this moment, Jiguo Yuanyi was thinking of a lot of things in his mind. He was surrounded by domineering aura, which suddenly opened up a small gap for himself.
The moment the gap appeared, Jigoku Yoshiichi raised his sword and cut Satan's wrist with it. As blood spurted out, Jigoku Yoshiichi broke free and soared into the sky, flying into the air and putting some distance between himself and Satan.
After a while of fighting, the bow of Kizaru's warship had sunk several meters into the sea, and the deck was about to be level with the sea surface. Under the surging waves, seawater had already seeped onto the deck.
The navy's lifeboats have already left the command ship one after another.
Kizaru, who had been knocked flying by Tsugakuin Yoshie before, had boarded a lifeboat at some point. Both of Kizaru's nostrils were stuffed with tissues, and he was sitting on the board of the boat with his arms and legs spread out, looking powerless. However, there were no scars on his body, and he was not even stained by seawater.
As Tsugikoku Yoshiichi soared into the sky, he took in the situation around him, and then a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Ability people, fighting at sea is the most foolish thing!"
Ji Guoyuan murmured softly, raised the long sword in his right hand, and terrifying domineering aura began to condense in the sword. The next moment, Ji Guoyuan swung the sword towards the command ship on the sea. The black slash, which was dozens of meters wide and spanned hundreds of meters, fell rapidly towards the sea with thunder.
On the deck of the warship, the Knights of God and Satan looked up at the sky, only to see the sky darken, and then a buzzing sound exploded in everyone's ears.
“Bang!!!!!”
The warship was chopped down and instantly turned into countless pieces, which splashed everywhere along with the waves.
On the boundless sea surface, a terrifying crack suddenly appeared and extended to the sky. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the sea water in the crack stopped flowing at this moment.
A knife cuts the sea apart.
Faced with the strange abilities of the Five Elders and the powerful Knights of God, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni chose to let Kizaru's warship be buried with them!
The waves, carrying countless lifeboats, spread rapidly in all directions. The distant warships were also affected by the waves at this moment and began to shake violently.
When the waves hit, the major generals and lieutenant generals on the warship "showed off their skills", either using the power of devil fruits to resist, or stepping into the sea using moon steps and using their bodies to maintain the stability of the warship.
After several minutes of surging, the sea water began to flow back into the "crack".
Tsugumi Yuichiro slowly descended from the air and gently tapped a piece of broken wood floating on the sea. Looking at the sea slowly returning to calm, he slowly put the knife back into its sheath.
