Kozuki Oden, who rushed onto the coastal wall, was immediately besieged by the navy.
Intensive gunfire suddenly rang out on the top of the wall, and bullets shot towards Oden like rain. However, facing the attacks of the soldiers, Kozuki Oden had no intention of dodging at all. He covered his eyes with his hands, and the powerful armament domineering instantly covered his whole body.
“Ding ding ding ding—”
The bullets hit Kozuki Oden's body, making a series of crisp sounds.
With the blessing of Armament Haki, Kozuki Oden's physical defense increased greatly, and the navy's guns had no way to hurt Oden.
And in just these few short seconds, Kozuki Oden had already quickly approached the defensive formation.
Taking his hands away from his eyes, Oden looked at the wall of people blocking his way and smiled:
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Kozuki Oden kicked the ground hard and rushed towards the crowd, and the double swords in his hands quickly slashed at the nearest navy soldier.
The sword was fierce. The young navy held his gun, his pupils shrank slightly, but his body was stiff in place. He was overwhelmed by the powerful aura of Kozuki Oden and could not move.
"What are you daydreaming about, idiot?!"
Just as the young marine was about to die under Oden's sword, a deep, low roar sounded in his ears. At the same time, the young marine felt a huge force pulling him back. A white shadow also quickly passed by the marine and met Oden's attack.
"Lieutenant Colonel Binky!"
The young marine suddenly came to his senses and saw the marines passing him to meet Oden, and he couldn't help but let out a low cry.
The one who rushed out of the crowd and took the initiative to fight Oden was the commander of this line of defense, Lieutenant Colonel Binji of the Marine Headquarters.
He was once Kuzan's subordinate and had studied in a naval school in his early years. He was upright and brave.
Facing the aggressive Kozuki Oden, Binky's brain didn't even consider whether he was the opponent's opponent. Without thinking, he stepped forward.
Binky's weapon is a ten-handed sword made of seastone. In the navy, there are quite a few officers who use this weapon. Because of the existence of devil fruits, the navy always encounters various people with special abilities when performing normal missions.
Seastone is very effective in dealing with these people.
Indeed, even without seastone, Haki can still have a huge impact on the ability user. People with strong Haki do not need seastone as "assistance" in battle.
However, not all navy officers are able to possess powerful armed color domineering. For the vast majority of navy officers, the benefits brought by seastone weapons are obviously far greater than the domineering that requires a lot of time to practice.
Not everyone can be like Tsugakuni Yoriichi and Mihawk, who can rely on their powerful domineering aura to "cut everything".
"clang--"
Binky's seastone ten-handed weapon met Kozuki Oden's long sword. The moment the weapons touched, Binky couldn't withstand the huge force coming from his hands. The arms holding the ten-handed weapon involuntarily tilted upwards, and the middle door suddenly opened wide.
Mitsuyu Oden quickly changed his moves, using his sword to control his ten hands and slashing at Binky's chest at high speed.
Can't avoid it.
Binky saw Kozuki Oden's attack, but his body could not keep up with the reaction speed of his brain, and he could not dodge Oden's attack at all.
There was no other way, Binky could only grit his teeth and use his strongest physical skills!
"Iron block!!!"
Binky let out a low roar, and at the same time, Oden's long sword cut his chest at the same time he used the iron block.
With an imperceptible sound, Binky flew backwards, blood spurted out from his chest, turning into a bloody rain and falling on the ground.
"Bang!"
Binky's figure fell from the air and hit the ground several meters away with a dull sound.
Lieutenant Colonel Binky
The sailors heard the sound and looked over to see Binky lying on the ground with his uniform stained with blood. They immediately let out a cry of surprise. Then, the sailors glared at Oden, drew their swords, and rushed towards Kozuki Oden with shouts.
On the ground not far away, there was a deep knife wound on Binky's chest, with his skin torn and flesh exposed. Blood kept oozing out of the wound, and Binky's mouth was bleeding. His face turned pale. As the blood flowed, Binky felt his body getting colder and colder, and his consciousness was moving away from his body.
"Is that the end?"
From the day he joined the navy, Binky had been mentally prepared. Every sailor fighting on the sea never knew in which battle they would die.
Although he was mentally prepared, when death really came, even someone like Binky couldn't help but feel a little fear.
A biting cold enveloped his body, and Binky stared at the sky, which was gradually turning pale, his focus gradually fading.
"ah--"
A scream suddenly sounded on the high wall, and the navy soldiers surrounding Kozuki Oden were stabbed one after another and fell to the ground screaming.
"call out!"
After chopping down a dozen people who rushed up, Kozuki Oden didn't want to waste time on these "small fry", so he jumped out of the encirclement and quickly fell towards the land inside the high wall.
The many soldiers who were on duty on the high wall and were responsible for the second line of defense saw Oden leaving and were about to chase him when they suddenly heard heavy footsteps coming from the ice.
"roar!!!"
Little Oz, a giant crew member of the Whitebeard Haze Group, who was nearly forty meters tall, grabbed the Moby Dick, which was frozen on the ice, with both hands and rushed towards the high wall.
After a loud roar, the Moby Dick became a "battering ram" in the hands of little Oz, slamming into the guardrail.
"boom!!!"
In an instant, a big hole was blasted in the towering wall by Little Oz, and the wall collapsed. The sailors screamed and roared as they fell down with bricks and rubble. In an instant, smoke and dust filled the air.
Little Oz succeeded in his attack, and the navy soldiers on the harbor who reacted also aimed their artillery fire at Little Oz and opened fire.
However, the attack of these shells did not have much impact on little Oz.
"Boom!!!!" The Moby Dick was directly embedded in the guardrail by little Oz, turning it into a bridge from the ice surface to the inland.
The pirates were rushing towards this place frantically, facing the navy's artillery fire. Several captains of the Whitebeard Pirates were the fastest. They used the bridge to quickly rush to the top of the wall, resisting the navy coming to support here, and occupied the first foothold on the shore.
When the pirates rushed to the top of the wall, Kozuki Oden had already rushed into the square and was surrounded by the navy and fell into the siege of the navy.
A group of navy vice admirals including Huoshaoshan, Feishu, and Onigumo joined forces to stop Kozuki Oden who was rushing towards the execution platform.
Outside the battlefield, densely packed navy formed a circle, waiting for an opportunity.
A total of seven vice admirals besieged Kozuki Oden. In this battle, ordinary navy officers had no qualifications to intervene.
Kozuki Oden's powerful and domineering aura was surging on the battlefield. Although the vice admirals' attacks were coordinated tacitly, Oden wielded his two swords with great vigor. While resisting the vice admirals' attacks, he was even able to counterattack with his sword.
Under the siege of the vice admirals, Oden was able to handle it with ease. He even seized a flaw in Spider Demon and slashed with his sword, hitting Spider Demon's sword-holding arm.
With the joint efforts of the lieutenant generals, let alone suppressing Kozuki Oden, they could only hold on under Kozuki Oden's command.
Above the execution platform, Zhan Guo just glanced at the battlefield in the distance and couldn't help frowning.
"Oden."
“Gulala!!”
Whitebeard looked at Kozuki Oden who was fighting hard under the siege of the navy, murmured softly, and then couldn't help laughing out loud.
He has never been the kind of person who is stubborn and only complains about himself.
Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Oden and his sons coming to rescue him, he was worried about his sons' safety and hoped that Oden could retreat quickly with his men.
But since persuasion was fruitless and Oden and his sons had already penetrated deep into such a place, Whitebeard would not say anything to dampen morale.
With a burst of laughter, Whitebeard turned his head to look at the Warring States beside him and asked with a slightly proud tone:
"Zhan Guo, how are my brother and my sons?"
"You've put on such a big show to deal with our Whitebeard Pirates. Their strength shouldn't disappoint you, right?!"
"Can you, the navy, stop Oden?"
Whitebeard was talking to Sengoku beside him with a smile. Sengoku looked at Kozuki Oden in the crowd and remained silent.
And in the moment when the two of them were talking, the war that took place in Marinford was also broadcast to the people of the world.
The powerful strength of the Whitebeard Pirates shocked people all over the world. As Kozuki Oden got closer and closer to the execution platform where Whitebeard was, for some reason, an inexplicable sense of tension emerged in the hearts of the people.
What if Whitebeard was rescued?
This thought appeared in everyone's mind. Although the harbor was full of navy soldiers in uniform, ready for battle, the people could not stop themselves from thinking this way.
On the warship Dawn, Jiguo Yuanyi looked at the battle situation of Marinford and gently pressed the long sword at his waist.
He was thinking about whether to intervene in the battle between the navy and the Whitebeard Pirates.
With his ability, it only takes a few minutes for him to fly to the Navy Headquarters, and then help the Navy to eliminate all these pirates.
but
This approach is quite different from what he hopes to achieve.
From the perspective of the New Navy, this war actually has two directions, both of which are in line with the interests of the New Navy:
First, if the Navy won a bitter victory, the strength of the Navy Headquarters would be greatly weakened, and the New Navy would be able to expand into the New World after stabilizing its base. At the same time, the damage to the headquarters would give Dragon's Revolutionary Army ample room for development.
Secondly, the Whitebeard Pirates won a tragic victory, and after handing over a large number of pirates, they rescued Whitebeard and left the Marine Headquarters. Even if Whitebeard survived, it would not have a significant impact on Tsugakuko Yoshiichi's consolidation of power. This is because the core structure of the Whitebeard Pirates is actually an elite group system based on family ties.
Whitebeard has never been an ambitious person, otherwise, the world would probably be much more chaotic than it is now.
After the external forces that were dependent on the Whitebeard Pirates were stripped away, the existence of the Whitebeard Pirates itself would not affect Yoshikazu Tsugakuni's next plan.
Of these two war trends, one must be satisfied.
That is, the navy must suffer heavy losses in this war.
If Kuniyoshi intervenes in the war, the navy will be able to retain its strength to the greatest extent.
"Da da." Yoriichi closed his eyes gently, and rhythmically tapped the long sword at his waist with one hand. After thinking for a long time, Yoriichi Tsugakuin turned his head and looked in the direction where Mihawk had left.
"The Navy is a military."
"From the day they became navy, they were determined to fight against the pirates."
"Life and death are determined by fate."
"What I need to do now is to focus on the present."
"The battle between Mihawk and Pluto Rayleigh must not affect the ordinary people on the island in any way."
Yunyi thought in his heart and slowly withdrew his gaze.
Under his observation Haki, the auras of Mihawk and Pluto Rayleigh were getting closer and closer.
Now he cannot leave Shampoo and Blade. Mihawk is a kendo "idiot". If he fights with Rayleigh, even if the battlefield is remote, if he is not careful, it will bring devastating disaster to the people on the island.
In the scene on the deck, Kozuki Oden successively knocked away several vice admirals who were besieging him. At this time, the only one standing in front of him was Flying Squirrel.
Just when everyone thought that Kozuki Oden could break out, a laser suddenly shot out from the platform in the distance, flashed across the sky, and instantly shot towards Kozuki Oden who was about to swing his sword to kill the flying squirrel.
"Hmm?"
Oden's observation Haki was extremely powerful. At the moment the laser hit, he let out a light exclamation, and then quickly returned to defense at a speed a hundred times faster than a sword attack, blocking in front of him.
In the previous battles with the vice admirals, Oden even consciously saved his Haki and did not use all of his powerful abilities.
It wasn't until the laser hit that Oden took it a little more seriously.
"boom!!!!"
The powerful domineering aura attached to the second generation Kitetsu's sword. Oden swung his sword and the laser beam was immediately blocked. After hitting Kitetsu's sword, the golden laser light quickly changed direction and reflected into the sky.
Oden put away his sword and looked intently in the direction of the platform where the laser was shot. However, two of the three chairs on the platform were empty. Only Sakaski was sitting on the chair, holding his chin with one hand.
"The samurai of Wano Country—"
“How terrifying—”
"Mr. Samurai, have you ever been kicked by the speed of light?"
A dazzling golden light suddenly appeared in the corner of Kozuki Oden's eyes, and a slightly lazy voice suddenly sounded from behind Kozuki Oden.
When Oden heard this figure, he couldn't help but look surprised.
It was not until this voice reached his ears that Kozuki Oden's observation Haki belatedly realized that someone had appeared behind him!
Turning back hurriedly, a golden light had already filled Kozuki Oden's entire vision.
The golden light hit Oden's face, and his body instantly turned into a stream of light and flew away into the distance.
Although Kozuki Oden was already approaching the execution platform, the distance between him and Whitebeard widened again.
