Chapter 408: Nature and Swordsman! (Two in One)
"This is it"
"Is this the power that Yuichiro has now?!"
The elevator slowly slowed down, and as it slowly came to a stop, Gang Gukong and others quickly walked down from the elevator.
Looking at the endless barren land in the distance, everyone's face showed shock.
Garp looked at the scene in the distance and was silent for a long time before he murmured in a deep voice, his eyes full of disbelief.
The thick fog that enveloped the entire holy land of Marinjoa has dissipated, and the bright moonlight is scattered on the holy land, illuminating the scene in the distance.
The Pangu City that originally stood on the holy land and symbolized the identity of the Celestial Dragons as the "Creator" has disappeared. There are countless pits on the red surface, and the gravel on the ground reflects the crystal light under the moonlight.
Under the burning of Yoriichi Tsugakuin's ability, mineral crystals precipitated from the soil.
The once prosperous Marinjoa is now only a town inhabited by Celestial Dragons that is still intact.
However, the high wall separating Pangu City and the Tianlong town was full of cracks due to the aftermath of the battle.
The holy land that was used as a battlefield was mostly destroyed.
The "ancestral land" of the Tianlong people, which had stood at the top of the world for eight hundred years, suffered heavy damage this night, and the losses were simply incalculable.
In the 800 years since the establishment of the World Government, there has never been a recorded incident of anyone entering the Holy Land.
However, since the appearance of Yoshikazu Tsugakuin, similar things have happened twice.
The last time, Yoriichi Tsugakuni and his subordinates also caused a big disturbance in the Holy Land. Yoriichi Tsugakuni even slaughtered many Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land. However, the impact of that incident on the Holy Land as a whole was actually not that big. The buildings were not seriously damaged. As for those slaves who were released, they could catch as many as they wanted.
As for the deaths of the Celestial Dragons, the number of "livestock" kept in captivity on the Holy Land would not affect the rule of the World Government at all.
But what happened in the holy land tonight was different. After becoming a person with special abilities, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni's destructive power became even stronger.
Pangu City, which symbolizes the special status of the Celestial Dragons, was destroyed by Yoriichi Tsugumi. It can be seen that under Yoriichi Tsugumi's attack, the strong people in the holy land also found it difficult to resist.
This also means that Yoriichi Tsugikuni already possesses the terrifying power to "destroy the world."
Looking at the ruins in the distance, Gang Gukong's eyes flickered with a hint of joy, but his face remained cold and serious. He turned his head slightly and spoke to his old subordinates:
"The battle looks to be over."
"We are a step late after all."
"Now, hurry up and check the battlefield to see if there are any survivors."
Cyborg Sora's tone was heavy, but Garp, Sengoku and Zephyr did not respond after hearing his words. Instead, they looked at the battlefield in the distance, and then, as if realizing something, they raised their heads slightly and looked up at the sky.
"Swish--" At this moment, a sound of breaking air came from above the heads of Ganggukong and others.
Ganggukong also noticed someone coming, and was not surprised. He glanced sideways towards the sky.
There were six people in total. In addition to the Five Elders, the so-called "highest authority in the world government", the leader of the Knights of God, Saint Garin, who rarely interfered in matters outside the Celestial Dragons, also came together.
The Five Elder Stars have all come out of combat, and each of them looks dusty and dusty. Although everyone's aura is still very strong, from Gang Gukong's perception, these people have more or less shown some fatigue.
It seems that resisting Tsugikuni Yoriichi's attack is also a difficult task for the Five Elders.
"Are you the only ones providing support?"
"You're still so slow, Cyborg, Sengoku, your navy is really lazy!"
Marcus Mazsheng glanced at Ganggukong, Zhan Guo and others, frowned, and asked with some dissatisfaction.
The three admirals of the navy went on a joint expedition, and the World Government also felt that its own defenses had become somewhat weak. When Saint Marcus Maz set out with the navy to conquer the Ten Thousand Nations, the Five Elders also dispatched the strong men of the Navy Headquarters to garrison in the Sabaody Archipelago.
With the abilities of people like Gang Gukong and Zhan Guo, they would be able to sense it when the golden phoenix appeared above the holy land.
After fighting fiercely with Yoshikazu Tsugakuni for such a long time, these guys from the navy finally arrived nearly half an hour after Yoshikazu Tsugakuni retreated on his own initiative. This made Marcus Mazsan think a lot.
"As soon as we noticed the unusual movement in the Holy Land, we took the elevator up."
"We have also received intelligence that the intruder is Tsugikuni Yoriichi."
"Faced with an opponent like that, with the Admiral out, the Navy can only rely on the four of us old guys!"
"We are truly sorry for being late."
Facing the accusation from Marcus Maz Saint, Steel Bone Sora took a step forward, walked past Zhan Guo, took over the conversation and began to explain.
When Zhan Guo saw Gang Gu Kong doing this, he couldn't help but look sideways slightly, feeling a little grateful to Gang Gu Kong in his heart.
Facing the wrath of the Five Elders, although Zhan Guo is not afraid of the Five Elders, it is still very beneficial for him to avoid direct conflict with the Five Elders.
"Elevator?"
“You guys need it.”
When Marcus Maz Saint heard the word "elevator," his eyes widened slightly, and he was furious. Kong Gu's perfunctory tone was too strong. A group of top-tier navy fighters really needed to rely on an elevator like that to travel?!
"Saint Maz, now is not the time to talk about this."
Just when Saint Marcus Maz was about to "lose his temper", Saint Satan spoke up in time to stop him.
Next, they, the Celestial Dragons, they, Marinjoa, will be under the threat of powerful people like Yoriichi Tsugikoku for a long time.
Although the Holy Land's defense force is strong enough, at this time, they should unite all the forces that can be united.
The power of the navy is something they cannot ignore.
Moreover, Satan Saint also realized that the reason why Tsugikuni Yoshiichi did not continue to fight but chose to leave was probably largely due to the arrival of these navy.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi, who was already coming with great momentum, probably wanted to kill all of those in power.
The reason they were able to repel Tsugikoku Yoshiichi was probably not only because of their own powerful strength, but also because of the group of veterans who came to support them.
“There are a lot of important things going on right now.”
"It's pointless to criticize them for whether their support came in a timely manner or not."
"Zhan Guo, how about the Wan Guo Front?"
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi and his Sword of Dawn appeared in Bankoku. What is their purpose?"
"How's the battle report from the front line?!"
The losses suffered by the Holy Land and how it needs to be rebuilt after the war have nothing to do with the Navy.
Pangu City was destroyed by Yoriichi Tsugakuin, and even the terrain of the Red Earth Continent underwent a certain degree of change.
The "ancient relics" buried under Pangu City are now exposed on the surface. Some things cannot be seen by people in the navy.
Now we have to divert the navy's attention with something else.
And since Tsugikuni Yoriichi has retreated, there is no need for people like Gang Gu Kong to stay and wander around the holy land!
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi and his men appeared in Wan Guo?"
"How can this be?"
Hearing Satan's words, the attention of Sengoku and the others was indeed drawn. They were just wondering how it was impossible for Tsugikoku Yoriichi to appear on the battlefield of the Ten Thousand Nations and then attack Malinjoa in the Holy Land.
But such doubts disappeared in an instant.
Sengoku looked deeply at Markus Mazsei, who was supposed to be with the navy to fight against the Big Mom Pirates. He understood and quickly replied:
"As for the specific situation, I haven't received any relevant information yet."
"The battle situation in Kuzan is progressing smoothly. Sakaski also sent back a battle report earlier. Everything is going well."
Speaking of this, Zhan Guo felt something was wrong in his heart and frowned slightly.
"The enemy that attacked the holy land has been successfully repelled."
"You'd better go back quickly."
"There's something unusual happening on the front line."
"We also need to clean up the mess and appease the 'people'."
Seeing Zhan Guo's expression change slightly, Satan immediately spoke. Zhan Guo did not doubt him. Compared to the extent of the damage to the Holy Land, he was more concerned about the situation on the front line. After apologizing, Zhan Guo, Zephyr, Garp and others hurried away.
Before leaving, Ganggukong looked back at the ruins in the distance. Suddenly, he noticed a black shadow quickly disappearing into the ruins.
"Is it from the Knights of God?"
Ganggu Kong didn't think much about it and followed Zhan Guo and others back to the elevator. Under the watchful eyes of the Five Elders, the group stayed in the holy land for only a few minutes and then left in a hurry.
After Steel Bone Sora, Garp and the others had left for a long time, Nasu Shoulang Sheng asked in a deep voice:
"Did Steel Bone Sora notice anything?"
The others were silent upon hearing this. Only Saint Satan shook his head after a brief pause.
"It doesn't matter if you noticed something or not."
"None of it makes any sense."
"For us, the biggest trouble right now is Tsugikoku Yoriichi!"
"He has firmly stood against us and is the greatest threat to the World Government!"
"We must find a way to get rid of him!"
After Saint Satan finished speaking, the group of people fell into silence.
Eliminate Tsugikoku Yoriichi
It's easy to say, but if it were so easy to do, would what happened tonight still happen? They would have killed Jiguo Yuan with one strike long ago.
"At this point, we can only take it one step at a time."
"Strengthen your defenses and be alert for him to appear again."
"We can't deal with him anytime soon, and he can't deal with us either!"
Saint Shepard ten Pitt's words were somewhat discouraging. Hearing this, Saint Nasu Shoulang said somewhat unwillingly:
"Are we just going to wait passively?"
His words silenced the other Five Elders. After a long moment, Saint Wouchuri suddenly spoke:
"Maybe."
"We can take the initiative to find him something to do so that his attention won't be fixed on us all the time!"
After hearing what Saint Wochuli said, the other few Wuwu Elders instantly understood what he meant, and a slight smile appeared on their faces.
Wanguo, the waters near Nut Island.
Under the watchful eyes of the navy, Marcus Mazsheng and Ji Guoyuanyi, who were fighting in the void, actually passed through the black teleportation array one after another and disappeared inexplicably in the air.
Apart from the blood spilled on the sea when Marcus Maz Saint was beheaded by Tsugikoku Yoshiichi before he left, there was no trace of the warring parties in the air.
This sudden change was completely beyond the expectations of the New Navy. In the first few minutes after Tsugakuin Yoshiichi and Marcus Mazsheng left, people's hearts were still calm, but as time passed, the New Navy couldn't help but become anxious.
I began to worry about the safety of Yuichiro Kiyomizu.
On the navy's command ship, Akainu was sitting on a bench by the side of the ship with his legs crossed, one hand dangling on the railing, looking sideways at the sea view.
The moon is bright tonight.
It's a pity that the beautiful moonlight is now obscured by the fleet of floating warships, making the sea view in the distance less charming.
On the deck not far away, Akainu's adjutant stared at Mihawk, Kuma and others on the deck, not daring to relax for a moment. He looked very nervous, in stark contrast to the relaxed Akainu.
Akainu looked at the discounted night scene for a long time, then turned around and asked Mihawk and the others:
"Your purpose in intercepting our navy should be for the Five Elders, right?"
"Now that the Five Elders and Yoriichi Tsugikuni have left, how long do you plan to stay?"
"Aren't you going to look for Tsugikoku Yoriichi's whereabouts?"
"That guy rashly rushed into that strange magic circle. He might have fallen into a trap and is now in a difficult battle. Aren't you going to help him?"
"Is there any point in wasting time here with me?"
Somehow, Akainu, who has always been ruthless and has a hot temper, was able to talk calmly to "navy traitors" like Mihawk.
“.”
Mihawk, Kuma and the others didn't say anything, they just glanced at Akainu.
Akainu seemed to have opened up his chatterbox. Seeing that Mihawk and the others didn't respond, he didn't care and continued to talk to himself:
"You're blocking this place because you're afraid I'll bring people to support the Five Elders after you leave, right?"
"If you're worried about that kind of thing, I think you can rest assured. The mission I received is to conquer the nations, not to protect the Celestial Dragons."
Akainu crossed his legs with a slight smile on his face, and no one could tell whether he was telling the truth or not.
"From what you said, it seems that as an admiral of the navy, you don't care about the life and death of the Five Elders?"
"Why, isn't it the Navy's job to protect the Celestial Dragons?"
Mihawk knew a little about the navy, and after hearing what Akainu said, he sneered and spoke.
Mihawk
"I remember you were always by Tsugikoku Yoriichi's side, right?"
"The fact that you ask such a question shows that Tsugikuni Yoriichi isn't even ready to become a marine!"
"The navy's duty is to obey the orders of their superiors."
"The order I received was to destroy the Big Mom Pirates."
As Akainu spoke, he took off his military cap, smoothed his flat head, and spoke with a smile.
"Is that why you can attack ordinary people without any scruples?"
"Just because of orders?"
Xiong couldn't help but question Akainu in a deep voice after hearing his words. He was full of disgust towards people like Akainu.
"Ordinary people?"
"That's a pirate."
"The Big Mom Pirates can't have gotten all their food, clothing, and other necessities through plunder, right? The people of Bankoku are actually the pirates' logistics personnel."
"These people deserve to die."
Akainu scratched his scalp, put his hat back on his head, and adjusted the brim.
"You" Xiong felt a tightness in his chest, but for a moment he couldn't find any words to refute Akainu, and was a little speechless.
"Isn't it about time I put my men down?"
"Your target is the Five Elders, my target is the Big Mom Pirates."
"Our goals are inconsistent and there is no overlap."
"We've wasted enough time. I don't have time to wait with you any longer."
Akainu said as he slowly stood up, the smile on his face gone.
Mihawk saw Akainu's momentum change, and his eagle eyes also cast a look at him. Without any nonsense, he pointed the long sword in his hand, and pointed the tip of the sword at Akainu:
"Before leaving, Yunyi instructed us to stop you from slaughtering ordinary people in the country."
"Even if he's not here, we'll get this done."
"You can't leave!"
Hearing Mihawk's words, Akainu's face quickly darkened. The cigar hanging from the corner of his mouth was bitten off by Akainu and fell on the deck. Lava flowed down his face.
"Notify Vice Admiral Kuzan and Tsuru to take over command of the troops."
"I'll first get rid of these guys who are hindering the navy's operations!"
Akainu spoke loudly to his adjutant, then leaped up and rushed directly towards Mihawk. As he swung his fist, a rolling heat wave rushed towards Mihawk.
