Chapter 246: Join the Battlefield, Edward Newgate! (Two in One)
The war between the Navy and the Beasts Pirates lasted from day to night.
In the night sky, the shining stars gathered into star belts at the horizon, surrounding the bright moon and illuminating the Island of Readchiled.
However, at this time, the people on Readchiled Island had no time to look at the beautiful night view in the sky.
"boom!!!!"
Deep within the island, the occasional sound of artillery explosions could be heard, and brilliant flames instantly illuminated half the sky. On the island, the roars of the navy and pirates echoed one after another, and the night, which should have been quiet, was filled with shouts and cries of killing.
When Kaido led his men to attack the Dawn warship in an attempt to rescue Jin, he took away several of his pirate group's most powerful cadres. However, there are still many hidden masters on the island of Redchiled.
Not all of the pirates in the Beasts Pirates are ambitious people who want to get to the top. Some of them are just forced to hide under the protection of the Beasts Pirates, keeping a low profile and just quietly waiting for the opportunity to leave the Beasts Pirates and sail out to sea alone.
The appearance of the navy also gave these pirates a real opportunity to leave Readchiled Island.
Without the restraint of Kaido and the cadres, when Garp and Zephyr led the team to kill on the Redchiled Island, those people who were not interested in the Beasts Pirates "took out" their hidden assets. To the west of the Redchiled Island, many small boats that should not have appeared suddenly appeared that night.
Under the cover of night, they hurriedly left Readchiled Island.
The cadres who went and never returned, the companions who escaped secretly, and the pirates who were defeated by Garp and Zephyr were deflated by what was happening before their eyes.
Under the powerful attack of the navy, the pirates were defeated step by step. When night fell, some pirates fled in all directions. However, some pirates were completely aroused and planned to have a good time before being killed by the navy.
But these people's ideas are still too naive after all.
After Garp and Zephyr took the lead in taking out several pirates with stronger auras by relying on their observation Haki, they began to keep an eye on the pirates' movements.
If they sense any signs that the pirates are about to attack civilians, both of them will rush into the enemy camp and deal with those people first.
Of course, although Garp and Zephyr tried their best to protect ordinary people, human power is limited. In such a battlefield, many civilians were still harmed by pirates.
In response, Zephyr and Garp could only speed up their actions with a sullen face. Facing these innocent people affected by the disaster, Garp and Zephyr could only send the pirates down to meet them.
The frontal battle on Readchiled Island was in full swing.
The battle between the "cadres" on the Dawn warship came to an end as Mihawk slashed his sword and killed the last enemy.
The bright moonlight fell on the deck. Mihawk held a long sword in one hand, raised his head tiredly, looked at the bright starry sky, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Blood had already covered the entire deck. At Mihawk's feet lay the bodies of several pirates. A little further away, the bodies of marines in white uniforms covered the entire deck.
"I've already won! Yunyi."
Mihawk lowered his head and looked around at the corpses of the navy on the deck with a slightly heavy expression. He turned his head to look at Jin, whose eyes were now numb. Mihawk walked to the bow of the ship and looked towards Lidchiled Island.
Jin, who was tied up tightly by seastone, had already given up hope. He had never thought that the Hawkeye Marine would be so strong and could actually kill all the leaders of the Beasts Pirates. Although Mihawk was supported by Jinbei, Tiger and others in the battle.
But Mihawk's strength in being able to do such a thing also left a deep impression on Jin.
He knew that even if his companions rescued him, they would never be able to defeat the Hawkeye Swordsman before them.
On the sea not far from the warship Dawn, there was a moment of silence on the Moby Dick. All the officers on the ship stood by the railing, paying attention to the direction of this war.
As Mihawk ended the battle first, Thatch was the first to notice the battlefield. He opened his mouth and said in a dry voice:
"The battle on Dad's warship is over."
"That Marine wins!"
A little different from the others, Thatch is not concerned about the "King vs. King" on the coast. He is more focused on the battle between Mihawk and the cadres of the Beasts Pirates.
Because Thatch keenly realized that the key to this war between pirates and the navy might not be the decisive battle on the coast, nor the large-scale melee in the center of the island, but the battle on the warship.
Thatch originally thought that Mihawk would be defeated and killed by so many powerful pirates, but the final result was far beyond his expectations.
That Hawkeye Marine actually slaughtered all the enemies.
This terrifying fighting power made Sachi tremble uncontrollably, and his voice became a little hoarse.
"Jorakol Mihawk!"
"He's truly a powerful swordsman!"
"There is actually such a strong man in the navy!"
Flower Sword Vista looked at the figure standing in the moonlight in the distance and said solemnly. Then Vista asked Whitebeard:
"Dad, are we just going to watch from here?"
"The Beasts Pirates are about to be wiped out by the navy."
"That Kaido, the Beast King, I don't think he can hold on for much longer."
"Aren't we going to take action?"
While the few people were talking, on the coast of Redchiled Island, Tsugikuni Yoshikazu and Kaido were fighting fiercely. The two had been fighting for a whole day. Kaido has now gradually adapted to his body after the awakening of the devil fruit, and his combat effectiveness has greatly improved compared to during the day.
But even so, he was crushed by Yoshikazu Tsugakuni in the battle and had no power to fight back at all.
However, facing this unfavorable situation, Kaido, after a moment of anxiety at the beginning, quickly calmed down. Now, he paid no attention to the battle on the island, nor to the battle on the warship in the distance, and was completely focused on fighting against Tsugakuin Yoriichi.
He tried hard to block Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's attack, trying to reverse the situation and kill him in one fell swoop!
Under the moonlight, Kaido was a bloody mess, swinging his mace fiercely. In front of him, Tsugikoku Yoriichi, as if anticipating this, slightly tilted his body, dodging Kaido's attack with the mace, and then slashed back with a knife, slashing directly at Kaido's wrist.
The sword slashed down, and the blade directly embedded into Kaido's wrist. However, Kaido, who suffered such an attack, had a fierce light flash in his eyes, raised his left hand, and condensed black flames in his palm, and quickly grabbed Tsugikoku Yoshiichi.
Facing Kaido's counterattack, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi had no intention of winning, and quickly drew out his long sword. A large amount of blood was drawn out by Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's sword-drawing action. Then Yoshiichi quickly swung the sword towards Kaido's palm, and at the same time, he quickly dodged from the spot, leaving Kaido with nothing to grab.
The slash directly hit Kaido's palm. The black flame condensed in Kaido's palm was blasted away by Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's slash, leaving a long blood mark on Kaido's palm.
Two consecutive slashes left a lot of blood on the ground where Kaido was standing.
However, faced with such injuries, the flames surrounding Kaido quickly attached to the wound, and in the blink of an eye, the injury was healed.
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi looked at the scene in front of him with an indifferent expression. There was no disappointment on his face. Instead, his figure flashed and he rushed towards Kaido again.
Seeing Yoriichi Tsugakure rushing towards him, Kaido tightened the mace in his hand, aimed at the direction where Yoriichi Tsugakure was rushing, and swung forward quickly.
However, just as he swung his mace, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's figure suddenly disappeared from Kaido's sight. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the mace that was swung diagonally upwards. Kaido suddenly found that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi was standing at the end of his mace, looking at him indifferently.
Before Kaido could react, a slash had already hit his neck, cutting the artery in his neck and causing blood to spurt out. Kaido only had time to cover his neck when he suddenly felt a pain in his right arm that was holding the mace.
Looking carefully, he saw two more sword wounds on his wrist and elbow, with blood spilling all over the ground.
“Ahhhhhhh!!!”
Stimulated by his injuries, Kaido let out a roar, turned his body, and swept his dragon tail directly towards Yuichiro Tsugakuten. Facing Kaido's violent attack, Yuichiro Tsugakuten's expression condensed slightly, and he suddenly raised his left hand and grabbed Kaido's dragon tail directly.
“Bang!!”
"boom!!"
The two men's domineering auras collided again, deafening thunder sounded on the shore, and the hurricane quickly rushed in all directions, and layers of waves suddenly rose on the sea.
The ground under Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's feet began to crack, but Tsugakuni Yoshiichi stood firmly in place without moving. Under Kaido's gaze, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi swung his sword and slashed at Kaido's dragon tail.
No one knows what Kaido's dragon tail is made of. Jigokuen swung his long sword, but it only cut into it a few centimeters before stopping abruptly. Moreover, there seemed to be no arteries or veins on this dragon tail, and no blood spurted out at all.
When Yuanyi put away the knife, he noticed a hint of white on the wound on the dragon's tail.
It seems that this dragon tail is purely skin and muscles wrapped around bones, with very little blood.
At this time, Kaido had quickly recovered from his injuries. He leaned his dragon tail against the ground and flew directly into the air, rushing towards Tsunekoku Yoshiichi. At the same time, Kaido grabbed the mace with both hands and roared as he swung it down:
"Descending the Third World: Inducing Naraku!!"
The domineering aura condensed on the mace and quickly attacked Yoshikazu Tsugakuin.
Yoshikazu Tsugakuni raised his head slightly and rushed forward quickly. At the moment when Kaido swung his mace, he swung the long sword in his hand horizontally. Instead of choosing to fight head-on, he quickly slashed on Kaido's mace, causing Kaido's attack to deviate in direction.
The next second, Tsugikuni Yoshiichirō quickly flew up with the mace, came in front of Kaido, and stabbed Kaido's heart directly with the knife.
At this moment, Kaido's reaction finally caught up with Yoriichi Tsugakuni's actions.
The body is slightly tilted to avoid the heart area.
"laugh!"
The long sword sank into Kaido's chest. Tsukuni Yoshiichi frowned slightly, kicked Kaido's body with both feet, and flew away. After Tsukuni Yoshiichi flew away, Kaido's palm slapped his chest, making a "bang bang" sound.
"Jumping around like a grasshopper."
"Navy, you really disappoint me!"
"Fight me head-on! Let's see who wins!"
After just a few rounds, Kaido's body was covered with large amounts of blood. Seeing that he could not catch Yoshikazu Tsugakuni, Kaido finally couldn't help but growl in anger.
It is true that Kaido is a strong man, but his skills are too crude in front of Yoriichi Tsugikuni, like a giant who can't fight at all.
With just a wave of his hand, Ji Guoyuan can leave sword wounds on Kaido's body.
And Yoriichi Tsugakuni has also prepared for a protracted war. Facing Kaido's counterattack, he has the ability to resist it head-on, but he rarely does so.
A physical contest with a Mythical Beast Devil Fruit user? Tsugikuni Yoriichi wasn't that stupid.
Every time he attacks, he tries to leave a deep enough wound on Kaido's body with the least amount of physical strength and domineering power. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's targets are very particular, basically attacking the arteries and blood vessels of Kaido's body. In simple terms, he will cut the part that will cause the most bleeding.
Tsugakuni Yoriichi had no intention of fighting Kaido for days and nights, to see who would run out of energy first? Just kidding, Tsugakuni Yoriichi, who had an absolute advantage in swordsmanship, was thinking about giving Kaido a good bleed.
It is true that Kaido's recovery speed is very fast, but Yoshikazu Tsugakuni does not believe that Kaido can replenish his blood without food!
After a day of fighting, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi could clearly feel that Kaido's speed had slowed down. And in Kaido's eyes, Tsugikoku Yoshiichi could also see deep fatigue.
This is not the result of physical energy consumption during the battle, but the result of bleeding by Yoshikazu Tsugakuni. Even Kaido would become weak after losing this much blood.
The battle duration estimated by Whitebeard was simply based on Kaido's physical fitness. In the case of heavy bleeding, it would not take that long for Tsugakuni Yoriichi to deal with Kaido.
For ordinary humans, when the amount of bleeding reaches 800ml, they will become extremely weak. When the amount of bleeding reaches 1500ml, they will experience symptoms such as shock, which is life-threatening.
Kaido has not yet transcended the concept of humanity in this regard.
The amount of blood loss Kaido had suffered from fighting with Yoshikazu Tsugakuni until now would have made him dead by ordinary people's standards. However, until now, Kaido had only shown symptoms of weakness.
In Yoriichi's opinion, after tonight, Kaido might not be able to stand up again!
If the amount of bleeding doubles on the current basis, even Kaido will not be able to withstand it.
As the balance of victory tilted significantly towards Yoshikazu Tsugakuni, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni naturally also became aware of the existence of the Whitebeard Pirates.
In fact, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi had already noticed the Whitebeard Pirates when they appeared in the waters around Redchiled Island, but the other party had been holding back, so Tsugakuni Yoshiichi did not adjust his plan.
The biggest variable in this war may lie in the Whitebeard Pirates.
After this battle with Kaido, Tsugikoku Yoshikazu was also somewhat frightened by the power of the World Government. You may not believe it, but there are at least five people in the World Government who have awakened Mythical Beasts of Kaido's level!
According to the limited information provided by Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the Five Elders who stand at the pinnacle of power may all be people with the ability to awaken the mythical beast species.
After Kuniyoshi planned to deal with the Beasts Pirates and return to Dressrosa, he calmed down and continued to hone his strength.
Facing Kaido, Yoriichi Tsugakuni is still confident that he can kill him.
But if there were five such people, Yunyi would not have the confidence to defeat them all.
After briefly leaving the battlefield, Tsugakuni Yoshiichi ignored the incompetent and furious Kaido, turned his head to glance at the Moby Dick on the sea, and then turned his attention back to Kaido, raised the long sword in his hand, and rushed towards Kaido again.
On the deck of the Moby Dick, Whitebeard watched the battle on the coast, pondered for a long time, and finally sighed softly, muttering to himself:
"Now that we're here, we can't bear to watch our former crew members die at the hands of the navy!"
"The Fish-Fish Fruit must never be brought back under the control of the World Government."
As he spoke, the Ame no Murakumo in Whitebeard's hand directly smashed the deck and pierced into the ground. Whitebeard's cloak moved without wind. Whitebeard bent his knees slightly, clenched his fists, and his solid muscles began to bulge. A powerful aura rose from Whitebeard's body.
"Dad?" Marco turned his head in confusion when he saw Whitebeard's actions beside him.
At this moment, Whitebeard threw a punch in the air towards the battlefield on the coast, and cracks appeared in the air, as if broken glass.
The sea surface in front of the Moby Dick suddenly split apart at this moment, and the crack suddenly spread towards Yoshikazu Tsugakuni who was fighting fiercely with Kaido.
"Hmm?"
Tsugumi Yuichiro felt a silent pressure coming at him and couldn't help but let out a light exclamation.
The air on the sea surface began to vibrate violently. The next moment, a crack suddenly appeared on the coast. A roar came into his ears. Tsugikuni Yoshiichi quickly gave up attacking Kaido and dodged away.
Kaido also noticed it, pointed his dragon tail at the ground, and jumped back to fly away from his original position.
The moment the two retreated, a crack appeared in front of Tsugakuni Yoriichi and Kaido, extending deeper into the island. A thick, earthy smell emanated from the crack.
After a fierce battle for a whole day, Yoriichi Tsugakuni and Kaido were separated by brute force at this moment.
"Whitebeard Pirates."
"Have you finally taken action?"
