Among the dozens of figures that appeared on the battlefield at this moment, each of them was a top-level warrior who roamed the sea in his lifetime.
During the long eight hundred years of the World Government's rule over the world, countless geniuses were born in every era. After being baptized by the sea, these people stood at the top of the world and successfully entered the sight of the World Government.
Some of these people are ambitious people who attempt to overthrow the rule of the world government, and some are loyal dogs who follow the trend and maintain the rule of the world government. But without exception, after their death, they all become one of the most important pawns in the hands of the world government.
I don’t know what means Im used to awaken the bodies of these people so that they can be active in this world again.
What Tsugikoku Yoshiichi could sense at this moment was the terrifying aura that was enough to make people tremble with fear emanating from these former top powerhouses.
Overlord Haki? The qualities of a king?
There are countless people with such qualifications in this ocean, but there are only a few strong ones who can stand at the top of the world.
And almost every one of the people who appeared in front of Tsugumi Yoshiichi at this time could be given the title of "King".
Even in Yoriichi Tsugikuni's perception, the aura emanating from Pirate King Roger was not the most powerful among these people.
Figures gathered and a smell of decay filled the air.
Zhan Guo was probably shocked by the scene. Under the pressure of these people, he felt dry mouth and tongue. He stared at the scene in front of him in amazement. He took a half step back involuntarily and felt a little timid in his heart.
If he was just dealing with one or two people, he would not have shown such an attitude, but at this time there were dozens of strong men appearing in front of him and Ji Guoyuan. If you counted carefully, there were as many as 65 people.
With such a powerful force of this level and such overwhelming numbers, Zhan Guo at that time had no way of imagining who in the world could resist such a force.
Navy Headquarters? New Navy? Or maybe pirates?
According to Zhan Guo's understanding, even if all the forces in the world were to come together, they might not be able to fight against so many powerful people.
"So, this is the confidence of the World Government."
"Hahahahahaha, I'm really naive."
"They thought that we could overthrow the World Government just by the two of us."
"After so many years in the navy and as a naval marshal, I thought I knew the Holy Land very well. But reality finally slapped me in the face. It turns out that I actually knew nothing about the Holy Land at all!"
Zhan Guo's eyes became dim, and his tone was full of dejection. Before he even fought with the enemy, Zhan Guo had already fallen into despair.
This time when he came to the Holy Land, he already had the intention of dying. When he realized that the enemy was no match for him, even the hatred in his heart dissipated a lot, and only the intention to die remained.
Perhaps, everyone who has reached the age of the Warring States period and has experienced the things that happened during the Warring States period will have the same thoughts as those during the Warring States period.
An old man is an old man after all, and he can no longer be as enterprising as he was when he was young.
Ji Guoyuan swept his eyes over the powerful men in front of him one by one. His gaze stayed on each person for just a moment, and he had a rough judgment of the strength of these people based on the strength of their breath.
Unlike Zhan Guo who was full of despair, Ji Guoyuan danced lightly with the long sword in his hand, with an indifferent expression on his face. He didn't feel that such a scene would make him feel despair at all.
Im's methods are indeed very powerful. Not only are they unexpected, but the power he wields is far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
but
Im doesn't seem to be someone who is good at fighting. Although he possesses powerful strength and strange and unpredictable methods, in the eyes of Yoshikazu Tsugikuni, he doesn't seem to be a guy who is good at fighting, so relying on him is just a matter of strange methods.
If Im was really good at fighting, she should be very clear that when one's strength reaches the level of Tsugikuni Yoshiichi, it is a very ridiculous thing to rely on numbers to win.
Yes, each of the corpses of these strong men that Im is controlling at this time is extremely powerful. Even if it can only exert 80% of the combat power of these strong men when they were alive, it is enough to destroy any force in this world.
But unfortunately, the strong people these people can deal with do not include Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
If these people could exert 100% of the strength they had before birth, Tsugikuni Yoriichi would not have stayed in the holy land for long and would have taken Sengoku away from here immediately.
But in the end, these people can only exert 80% of their strength.
This 20% difference compared to top-level experts like Yuichiro Tsugikuni is a qualitative difference.
In the eyes of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, this was nothing more than 65 more powerful people at the same level as the Five Elders. The Five Elders might be insurmountable mountains in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, they were just weaklings who could be killed at will.
If Ji Guoyuan thought about it, he wouldn't even need to strike a second time when dealing with a strong man of the Five Elder Stars' level.
Im doesn't take tools like the Five Elders seriously because she has more than sixty such substitutes, while Tsugikuni Yoriichi can ignore the Five Elders because his sword can easily chop these guys into pieces.
"Marshal Zhan Guo, why do you have such an expression?!"
"The battle hasn't even started yet, are you ready to admit defeat?"
Ji Guoyuan glanced at Zhan Guo beside him, and suddenly asked with a smile.
Ji Guoyuan's tone was relaxed, without any of the tension of facing a powerful enemy. Even Zhan Guo felt ashamed of himself for being able to be so relaxed at such a time. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, speechless.
Sengoku knew that Tsugakuni Yoriichi was very strong, but he still didn't have a clear idea of how strong Tsugakuni Yoriichi was.
Judging others by himself, Zhan Guo thought that he could deal with one or two of the enemy's puppets, but he could not deal with this number no matter what. Even if Zhan Guo felt that Jigoku Yoshiichi was several times stronger than himself, being able to deal with a dozen or twenty of them was probably the limit of the limit.
Could it be that Tsugikuni Yoriichi is still powerful enough to defeat everyone? !
Zhan Guo would not have such an illusion, and therefore he would no longer have any hope of survival.
"Yuichi, you have the ability to fly. I'll cover you. Please leave here quickly."
"After leaving the Holy Land, hide and don't let the people there catch you."
"If it were you, there would be a glimmer of hope for escape."
Zhan Guo clapped his cheeks with both hands, and the crisp sound of slaps rang out. In this way, Zhan Guo reawakened his spirit and body, allowing him to get out of the fear.
Sengoku said these words to Tsugakuni Yoriichi, then moved his feet, stood in front of Tsugakuni Yoriichi, and protected Yoriichi behind him.
He had already realized this before coming to the holy land.
Now, even though he knew that it was impossible, he still wanted to protect Jiguo Yuanyi's departure.
There was clearly a huge fear in Zhan Guo's heart, but when he said this, his face was extremely calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
You know, after making this decision, the situation that Zhan Guo would face was one of certain death.
Being able to overcome one's own instincts in the face of death is not an easy thing.
Those Five Elder Stars who died at the hands of Tsugakuni Yoriichi lived for a long time, but they were still in an ugly state when they died. Compared with the Warring States at this time, the difference is obvious.
“Things like faith and belief are sometimes truly marvelous.”
Yoshiichi Tsugakuni sighed inwardly, and his attitude towards Sengoku's back softened. It was not until now that Yoshiichi Tsugakuni truly let go of all his guard against Sengoku.
"call out--"
A sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a little further away, the figure of a man in a straight-collared suit turned into a stream of blood-red light, and in the blink of an eye he appeared in front of Zhan Guo.
The man had long nails and his hands were empty without any weapons. The moment he flashed, his right hand stabbed directly into Zhan Guo's heart. The speed was so fast that Zhan Guo, who was distracted for a moment, had no time to react.
Seeing that Zhan Guo's heart was about to be pierced by the enemy, Ji Guoyuan stretched out his left hand, gently pulled the corner of Zhan Guo's clothes, and pulled Zhan Guo away. At the same time, the long sword in Ji Guoyuan's hand also slashed down quickly at the enemy who flashed over.
“Hmm?!”
It was not until Zhan Guo narrowly avoided the opponent's fatal blow that he recognized the man who attacked him with a quick glance.
Although the face of the corpse was somewhat deformed due to dehydration, Zhan Guo still recognized the strong man who attacked him based on his attire and some physical features.
This was the top powerful man who was famous in the world decades ago and was known as the Red Earl.
However, the next moment after Sengoku identified the identity of the attacker, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's slash came down with a loud bang, instantly enveloping the Red Earl.
The two people's terrifying domineering aura collided directly with each other, but the Red Earl's defense only lasted for a moment, and his aura was completely defeated by Tsugikuni Yoshiichi.
The slash instantly pierced through the Red Earl's body and shot towards the puppets behind him.
In an instant, figures flashed on the battlefield. It was unknown whether these puppets were controlled by the same person. When facing the attack of Jigoku Yoshiichi, no one chose to fight back, but they all chose to dodge.
They had gathered such a powerful force, and even though the slashing attack released by Tsugakuni Yoshiichi was terrifying, these people only needed five or six people to work together to resist, and they were still able to withstand the slashing attack that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi would subsequently launch.
It seems that the person who controls these dead people is not a good fighter.
"Is it Im?!"
"You're really weak!"
The many puppets that flew away actually gave Ji Guoyuanyi the opportunity to defeat them one by one. If these puppets gathered together, it would bring Ji Guoyuanyi great trouble.
Tsugakuin Yoshiichi is very domineering. None of these puppets can compare to Tsugakuin Yoshiichi in dominance.
However, the domineering aura of a single person cannot withstand Yuichiro Tsugakuten, but the combined domineering aura of many people can. Facing more than sixty strong men, even if Yuichiro Tsugakuten can win, the consumption of his own domineering aura will become extremely huge.
However, if they are defeated one by one, the consumption of Yoshikazu Tsugakuni himself can be reduced to a minimum!
With this thought in mind, Jiguo Yuanyi didn't even look at the body of the Red Earl who had fallen to the ground and was completely motionless. He casually shot out a wisp of golden flame and landed on the body of the Red Earl. His eyes were already aimed at several puppets with stronger auras, and then he dodged and moved.
These are two enemies wearing naval uniforms. Although the styles of their uniforms are very different from the current naval styles, the seagull logos on their chests are conspicuous enough to reveal their identities.
The aura emanating from these two marines was relatively strong among these people. Coincidentally, because they were dodging Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's slash, the two of them were standing relatively far away from the others.
In just a flash, Yoshiichi Tsugakuni appeared between the two of them. His ability to see, hear and kill obviously allowed him to avoid the puppeteer who was secretly controlling these puppets. The two navy men were still looking elsewhere until Yoshiichi Tsugakuni appeared between them, and did not notice Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's figure.
It was not until Ji Guoyuanyi drew his sword that the two puppets realized that Ji Guoyuanyi appeared beside them and wanted to leave.
But it was already a little late when I remembered to leave at this moment!
Ji Guoyuan swung the long sword in his hand twice, cutting the two puppets in half. When Ji Guoyuan was about to burn the bodies of the two men with golden flames, black flames burst out from the wounds of the two men and rushed towards Ji Guoyuan fiercely.
All the puppets on other battlefields looked in the direction where Yuichiro Tsugakuin was at the moment, and then more than a dozen puppets directly followed the black flame's attack and slashed in the direction where Yuichiro Tsugakuin was.
Among these people, there is the Pirate King Roger.
"Buzz—"
More than a dozen domineering auras of varying intensities erupted above the holy land. The powerful auras merged and collided with each other, causing untimely bursts of thunder to ring out under the bright night sky.
The thunder could be heard from far away, making it difficult for the people of the Sabaody Archipelago under the Red Earth Continent to fall asleep. Even those who had already fallen asleep were awakened by the loud thunder.
The backyard of a bar in the Sabaody Archipelago.
Rayleigh was sitting on a stone pier with a bottle of wine in his hand, looking up at the night sky above with a serious face and deep eyes.
Beside him, Xia Qi silently lit a cigarette, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
The domineering aura of dominance surged above the holy land. When the thunder exploded, both Rayleigh and Xia Qi's faces suddenly changed, and they looked at each other in disbelief.
Even the two people in the Sabaody Archipelago could sense the battle on the holy land.
Each of those domineering auras frightened Rayleigh. However, among those many domineering auras, Rayleigh felt a familiar domineering aura.
It’s not Yoriichi Tsugakuni but his former captain, Pirate King Roger!
Standing up, Rayleigh wanted to leave, but Xia Qi, who was standing beside him, was quick-witted and grabbed Rayleigh's wrist.
"I'm going to take a look."
The two looked at each other, Rayleigh sighed lightly and said in a deep voice.
"I know, but don't go."
"Roger is dead, there's no doubt about that."
"If you go, you won't be able to come back!"
Xia Qi shook her head but didn't let go.
Rayleigh stared into Xia Qi's eyes, then finally sighed softly and sat back on the stone pier.
"What happened?"
