The sudden arrival of the Five Elders on the battlefield directly tilted the balance of power between the two sides.
In terms of numbers, there are only 6 people including the Five Elders and Kong Kong, but their combat effectiveness after they gather together cannot be simply measured by the number of people.
The New Navy has more top fighters than the World Government, but it is still unknown which side will have the advantage after the actual battle.
In a battle of this level, a strong man of Shimotsuki Koshiro's caliber can play a very small role. Not only him, but even strong men like Abel and Kuma would probably have a very limited impact on the battle results.
Of course, strong men like Abel and Kuma may not be able to influence the outcome of the battle, but with their strength, it is not a big problem for them to hold back one or two of the Five Elders.
However, among these powerful men in the New Navy, the only ones who can truly fight alongside Yoshikazu Tsugakuni are Ichisho and Mihawk.
Only strong people of their level have the power to threaten the lives of the Five Elder Stars.
The Origin Island, which was floating above the sea, suddenly lost its lift and was rapidly falling towards the sea below.
Yixiao withdrew his devil fruit ability from the island. Keeping such a large island afloat was actually very energy-consuming. At this time, facing the threat of the Five Elders and others, Yixiao also needed to focus on the enemy in front of him.
"Five Elders, you've survived by chance, why don't you stay in the holy land?"
"Why would you think of attacking our new navy? Wouldn't it be better to maintain the tacit understanding and decently maintain the false peace like before?"
"As long as you Tianlong people don't come down from the Red Earth Continent and affect the lives of ordinary people, I don't really care what you do on the Red Earth Continent."
"The work of clearing out pirates is already very heavy. Can you guys still find more things for me to do?!"
The top combat power of the World Government has surpassed their new navy, but Ji Guoyuan's expression remains calm, as if he does not feel the heavy pressure brought to him by the Five Elders and others.
Tsugakuni Yoriichi was actually very puzzled by the Five Elders' actions to destroy the balance. Before taking action, Tsugakuni Yoriichi wanted to understand the reason.
"snort!"
"You're just a rebel leader. What qualifications do you have to restrict what we Celestial Dragons do?!"
"You are just a wanted fugitive. If you keep a low profile, we will turn a blind eye."
"But you're trying to control the new world. Do you think we'll let you mess around?"
"Tsugikuni Yoriichi, you and your new navy will be completely wiped out by us today!"
"You can't get away!"
Satan Sheng's words were insincere, but Tsugikoku Yoriichi could also find clues from his words.
The World Government would take huge risks to attack its own new navy, probably because the development of the new navy has made these people feel threatened.
If you think about it carefully, what Jiguo Yuanyi has done over the years is indeed not small.
Whitebeard, Beehive Island and the world's number one scientist Vegapunk.
The demise of the two major forces in the New World are closely related to the results and reasons. Taking Vegapunk away from the control of the World Government may have touched the bottom line of the Five Elders and others.
Satan Saint can be considered a scientist, and only someone like him can correctly recognize the value of Vegapunk.
"I see."
"In that case, there's really nothing to say."
"But, do you really think you will be the winner?"
"I guess you've already prepared yourself mentally before you decided to land on this island."
Ji Guoyuan held the long sword in his hand horizontally, tilted his head slightly, and his eyes fell on Gang Gukong and others.
Kong Ganggu was seriously injured in the fierce battle with himself. Although he relied on the ability of life restoration to temporarily prevent the injury from worsening, his body was actually almost at its limit.
When facing the siege of a strong opponent, the wisest choice is to find the opponent's weakness and launch a fierce attack.
Gang Gu Kong does not possess the ability of super-speed regeneration like the Five Elder Stars, so it is very necessary to get rid of this domineering and powerful man first.
Ji Guoyuan changed his mind and took action immediately.
He had no intention of continuing to talk nonsense with the Five Elders and the others. His figure suddenly flashed and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
“Here it comes!!”
Although the domineering power of observation Haki was unable to capture the breath of Yoriichi Tsugakuin, Sora Aoi, who had fought with Yoriichi Tsugakuin for so long, had already adapted to Yoriichi's rhythm.
The moment Yuanyi's figure disappeared, Ganggukong quickly pushed away the two people beside him, lowered his body slightly, and prepared to deal with the attack.
"boom--"
Before Tsugikuni Yoriichi's attack came, a terrifying gravity was suddenly exerted on Kyousuke Sora and others.
Saint Marcus Maz and Saint Nasu Shoulang were also affected by this huge gravity at the same time. They were pressed to the ground and their movements were greatly affected.
"This is."
Gang Gukong glanced in the direction of Yixiao from the corner of his eye, and his pupils shrank.
The battle had developed to this point, so naturally, the new navy would not insist on letting Tsugakuin Yoriichi and Sora fight one on one. Although Yixiao was facing the threat of three of the Five Elders, including Satan Sheng, he immediately found a breakthrough in the battle and wanted to help Tsugakuin Yoriichi kill Sora first.
Yuanyi and Yixiao have been together for many years, and they have a tacit understanding between them. They don't need to communicate with words during the battle, and even eye contact is not needed.
The moment after Yixiao's gravity was applied to Ganggu Kong and others, Jiguo Yuanyi, holding a long sword, suddenly appeared in front of Ganggu Kong, and the long sword in his hand was also slashing towards Ganggu Kong's neck.
The offensive was fierce.
The shadow of death loomed over Kong Gang's head, and the figure of Yuichiro Tsugakuin was reflected in his pupils. At this time, Yuichiro Tsugakuin's lower half of the body had turned into golden flames, reducing the influence of gravity on himself in this way.
Yuichiro's sword was very fast, and under the influence of the huge gravity, Gang Gu Kong had no time to dodge.
"call out--"
A sharp sound of breaking through the air came from the side of Gang Gu Kong. Suddenly, a black tail turned into a shadow from the hem of Nasujuro Sheng's cloak and swept out quickly, slapping the blade of the long sword in Yuichiro's hand. At the same time, Nasujuro Sheng also swung the long sickle in his hand and slashed directly at Yuichiro's head.
On the other side, Marcus Mazsheng also reacted quickly. He grabbed Cyborg Kong's shoulder with one hand and pulled him to the side. With the other hand, he took out a pistol from his waist and shot directly at Yuichiro's body.
Keeping his sword in hand, Yoriichi Tsugakuni was confident that he could cut off half of Kyousuke Sora's head, but correspondingly, Yoriichi Tsugakuni's body would also be hit by the attacks of the Five Elders.
Nasujuro Saint's attack posed limited threat to him, but Macas Maz Saint's bullets made the alarm bells ring in Yoshiichi's heart.
Sea floor stone!
The bullets fired from the gun in Nasujuro's hand are made of seastone. The power of the devil fruit cannot affect seastone, and the gravity of a smile has no effect on the speed of the seastone bullets.
Decisively giving up attacking Ganggukong, Ji Guoyuan paused, pulled back the long sword in his hand and quickly blocked it in front of him, knocking down several flying bullets.
As the bullets fell from the air, Yuanyi moved the long sword in his hand again, and the blade slammed directly on the seastone bullets. Several bullets quickly turned into a stream of light and shot directly towards the attacking long sickle.
"clang!!!"
“Puff puff—”
A crisp golden sound rang out on the battlefield, and a seastone bullet accurately hit the long sickle swung by Nasujuro Sei. The huge force directly changed the angle of the long sickle's downward strike, and it fell almost close to Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's body, and the sickle blade directly sank into the soil.
The other two seastone bullets shot directly from the sides of the long sickle, piercing through Nasu Shoulangsheng's body and making two muffled sounds.
After being struck by the seastone bullet, Nasujuro Sei quickly emerged from his phantom beast form. A bald old man in a white kimono crouched on the ground, holding a long sword. Two bloody holes pierced his chest, and blood continued to flow from the wounds.
“This guy!!!”
The seastone bullet did not stay in Nasu Shoulang Sheng's body. Several strands of black flames emerged directly from Nasu Shoulang Sheng's body and quickly covered the bloody hole on his chest.
In just a blink of an eye, the wound was healed. Nasujuro Sei suddenly raised his head and stared at Tsugikuni Yoriichi with murderous intent in his eyes.
The terrifying gravity exerted on Steel Skeleton and others suddenly disappeared. A little further away, the three Five Elders, led by Saint Satan, also noticed Yixiao's actions and quickly attacked him.
Although Mihawk, Abel and others came to help in time, Yixiao had no way to continue to put pressure on Kong and others.
However, Yixiao's assistance has also helped Yuichiro Tsuchikuni. Between offense and defense, Yuichiro Tsuchikuni has seized the initiative.
After re-condensing into a physical form, Yunyi stepped on the handle of the sickle. After failing to kill Gang Gu Kong Kong, Yunyi quickly changed his target. The sword moved with him, and he swung it towards Nasu Shoulang Sheng who was half-crouching on the ground.
At the same time that Ji Guoyuan attacked and killed Nasu Shoulang Sheng, a golden flaming arm quickly grew out of his back and grabbed directly towards Gang Gu Kong on the other side.
By attacking instead of defending, Yuichiro will not give his opponent the chance to rescue Nasujuro.
All the changes in offense and defense happened in an instant. Ganggukong, who had just gained his footing after being pulled by Saint Macas Maz, raised his head and saw a golden flaming fist rushing towards him.
He didn't care about anyone else at all. Steel Bone Kong's fist was quickly covered with domineering aura, and he directly counterattacked the Fire Fist.
"Buzz—"
Kong Gu's domineering aura was indeed powerful. He could even disperse Tsugakuin Yoriichi's fire fist with one punch. However, Tsugakuin Yoriichi's main target this time was not Kong Gu.
"asshole--"
An angry roar came to an abrupt end. Gang Gukong turned his head slightly, only to find that Nasujuro Sheng on the other side was directly slashed by Jiguo Yuanyi's sword. Before enduring the slash, Nasujuro Sheng quickly put himself back into the phantom beast state.
However, the black cloak covering his entire body did not help Nasujuro Sei to withstand Yoriichi's slash. The sharp long sword penetrated directly into his shoulder, cutting off half of Nasujuro Sei's body and piercing through the other side of his lower abdomen.
There was no gushing blood.
The severed body of Nasujuro Sei was suddenly covered by black flames. Black flames burst out from the wound and merged together in mid-air.
The black flames pulled at the two severed halves of Nasujuro's body, and it seemed that it could repair such an injury.
“.”
What happened on Nasujuro's body was not unexpected by Tsugikuni Yoshiichi. He was also aware of the Five Elder Stars' ability to regenerate at super speed, and knew that relying on such a slash would probably not be enough to end his opponent's life.
In order to deal with such a situation, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi was actually prepared.
At some point, the ring that Yuichiro was wearing on his right index finger had been taken off and was tightly held in Yuichiro's left hand.
At the moment when Nasujuro Sei's body was recovering quickly, Yuichi did not stop for a moment and directly punched Nasujuro Sei's left half of the body, and his arm passed through his chest.
When Marcus Maz finally reacted and shot at Tsugikuni Yoshiichi, Yoshiichi quickly pulled out his arm and left the place in a flash. He also left the ring in the heart of Nasu Juro.
"Bang——"
The black flames that emerged from Nasujuro's body had soon entangled his two halves together. The flames covered the surface of the wound, making it unclear how the wound was recovering under the flames.
Marcus Mazsheng, who fired a shot to force Tsugakuni Yoriichi back, quickly appeared beside his companion, blocked his companion who was repairing his body behind him, and looked at Tsugakuni Yoriichi not far away with a wary look on his face.
Kong Gu Kong did not give Yuichiro Tsugakuin a chance to stop. At the same time Yuichiro gained his footing, Kong Gu Kong's figure appeared above Yuichiro's head and punched Yuichiro directly in the head.
Facing Kong Gang's attack, Yuan Yi swung his sword to block it, and the two began to fight. The powerful domineering aura stirred up gusts of strong wind, shooting towards the surroundings.
For a short period of time, Sora Aragaki was still able to fight with Yoriichi Tsugakuko. Marcus Mazsheng did not go to help Sora Aragaki, but instead stood beside his partner, waiting for his partner to recover.
"What's going on?!"
"What's going on?!!"
More than ten seconds passed, and Saint Marcus Maz did not wait for Saint Nasu Shoulang to stand up again. Instead, he heard Saint Nasu Shoulang's terrified roar.
Saint Maccus Maz quickly shifted his gaze away from the two people fighting, Yoriichi Tsugikuni and Sora Hyōgo, and looked back slightly, only to find that the wound on Saint Nasu Hisahirou, which was wrapped in black flames, showed no signs of healing.
This scene also made Marcus Mazsheng's expression pause.
Nasu Shoulangsheng's vitality is extremely tenacious. Even though his body was cut off, he did not die immediately. With the blessing of his ability, Nasu Shoulangsheng will not be in danger of his life in the short term. However, Nasu Shoulangsheng, who has not been able to repair his body for a long time, can't help but become panicked.
Not knowing what Tsugikuni Yoriichi had done to his body, Nasujuro Seiji gradually felt weak and lost his usual composure.
