Chapter 536: SFDI - 536
Chapter 536: SFDI - 536
In war, intangible things like momentum and will are sometimes more important.
With Luffy bursting onto the battlefield and withstanding Kizaru’s attack, the pirates’ momentum clearly surpassed the marines’. The battle lines began to advance towards the execution platform.
The large bird in the sky also landed, throwing the group of people above onto the battlefield.
The Straw Hat crew officially joined the war, with Zoro and Sanji arriving at Luffy’s side almost simultaneously, blasting away the marines attacking Luffy from the left and right.
Brook and Franky followed closely behind, joining the three to form a solid defense line.
A marine raised a rifle, aiming at Luffy, about to fire, but before he could pull the trigger, a bullet shot in along his gun barrel.
His rifle bloomed directly, and he was blasted away. Not only him, but several marines holding guns and cannons around him had the same experience.
The fastest of the Straw Hat crew to learn Haki wasn’t Luffy, but surprisingly Usopp, although it was limited to Observation Haki.
Usopp completely inherited his father’s talent, and quickly awakened and mastered Observation Haki during special training.
Combined with the slingshot and bullets made by Drake, Usopp was already a very skilled sniper.
Although her legs were trembling in fear, Nami still guarded beside Usopp together with Robin and Chopper, allowing Usopp to output with peace of mind.
And the most dazzling of the Straw Hat crew was Merry. Merry alchemized the large number of weapons scattered on the battlefield onto his own body, and a Gundam then stood tall on the battlefield.
And the arms of the giant robot were each a huge machine gun with six gun barrels, giving the marines a performance of what is called a compassionate 3,600 rounds per minute.
Under Merry’s strong firepower, Luffy’s path forward was instantly clear.
The Straw Hat crew’s performance also inspired the Whitebeard Pirates’ fighting spirit, and the advance of the battle lines became even smoother.
The marines naturally also noticed this point, so their combat strength began to shift towards the Straw Hat Pirates’ direction.
The gun barrels on Merry’s hands were neatly cut off, which was caused by the slash of Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral Onigumo.
Although Merry displayed powerful destructive force, in terms of strength, he still couldn’t compare to a marine vice admiral.
But Merry’s weapons, including his armor, could be reconstructed at any time through alchemy, and he wasn’t afraid of a war of attrition.
So the severed gun barrels began to deform, forming a giant war hammer that slammed towards Onigumo, and the two began a fierce close combat.
Without Merry’s fire support, Luffy’s path ahead was immediately full of obstacles. And there was someone on the battlefield who particularly disliked Luffy.
"Straw Hat brat, you bastard!"
Moria roared, controlling a large group of zombies to charge over. But before those zombies could get close, a wave of seawater surged over, swallowing the zombies.
Moria’s zombie army feared salt the most, and after being soaked by the seawater rich in salt, those zombies all spat out the shadows in their bodies, returning to ordinary corpses and falling down.
"Fish-Man Karate: Shark Tile True Fist!"
Moria, who was left alone, hadn’t reacted yet, and a blue fatty blocked in front of him, giving him a solid punch.
Seeing the scene of Moria flying so far directly, Sengoku on the execution platform said coldly: "Jinbe, are you planning to betray the Navy?"
Jinbe snorted coldly and said, "I was never a subordinate of the Navy to begin with. Whitebeard Old Man is the one who has kindness towards me. Shichibukai or whatever, I’m done with it!"
Luffy and the others had already run past behind Jinbe, and Moria wanted to chase but was stopped by Jinbe.
Seeing Luffy getting closer and closer to the execution platform, someone had finally been unable to sit still.
"If we let the pirates get close here, the face of justice will be lost!"
Akainu said angrily, and then took a step out. At the same time, his arms transformed into scalding lava, and the dripping lava burned black marks on the stone ground.
"Meteor Volcano!"
The lava that Akainu launched flew into the sky, and then scattered into a large number of lava bullets that fell towards the battlefield, especially targeting the Straw Hat Pirates’ position.
Just as the lava bullets were about to land on Luffy and the others’ heads, a slash flew over.
At the instant the slash swept past, all of the lava bullets simultaneously had crisscrossing cut marks appear on them, as if they had been slashed by several swords at the same time.
Mihawk, who had only used his sword against Whitebeard since the start of the war, raised his eyelids, revealing those sharp eyes.
He could feel that the one who launched this attack was definitely a powerful great swordsman, and he was curious who had such strength.
"That person is...?"
"The Pirate King’s right-hand man!"
"Dark King Silvers Rayleigh!"
.....
The person who appeared last was too famous, and he was recognized as soon as he appeared.
Sengoku on the execution platform couldn’t help but frown. The Straw Hat crew’s intrusion had caused some trouble, but it was generally still within a controllable range.
But Rayleigh was different, he was a strong person who could truly influence the tilting of the scales of the war.
Unlike Sengoku’s troubles, the pirate side’s momentum was even stronger.
Dark King Silvers Rayleigh, he was a legend of the previous era. Especially the people of the Whitebeard Pirates, who had dealt with him more than once or twice.
As an opponent, he was the most troublesome, but as a helper, he was incredibly reliable.
Whitebeard curved his mouth, Rayleigh was his old friend after all. Although thinking about Ace’s identity, it wasn’t strange that Rayleigh would appear, but it had to be said that having such a helper was indeed worth being happy about.
Kizaru sighed, and with the current situation, he had to take action. He had originally wanted to slack off, and it truly hadn’t let anyone be idle at all.
Standing up, Kizaru transformed into a ray of light, approaching Rayleigh.
"Ama no Murakumo!"
Light formed a straight sword in Kizaru’s hand, a strike that slashed at Rayleigh’s raised long sword.
The facts proved that Kizaru, who was criticized by Zephyr for being unbalanced, didn’t have any shortcomings, and he was actually able to compete with Rayleigh in swordsmanship without falling behind.
These two could be said to be the true high-end combat strength, and this battle also made the war begin to head towards its climax.
The Whitebeard Pirates also discovered the Straw Hat crew’s effect, so they all supported them, allowing Luffy to shorten the distance with the execution platform again.
Akainu, who was in a high place, could clearly observe the situation of the entire battlefield, and of course, he also discovered the changes in the pirate formation.
And this scene, which was obviously unfavorable to the Navy, made Akainu smile.
"With the troops pressed so far forward, the rear must be empty!" Akainu said in a voice that no one could hear.
Whitebeard frowned. The advantage he had gained so far didn’t make him lose his head. Instead, he sensed the hidden crisis within it. But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t think of where the source of the crisis was.
Just then, he heard footsteps behind him.
"Squard, what are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you to tear open the Navy’s defense lines on the outside?"
The person who came was the captain of one of the pirate crews under Whitebeard, the Great Maelstrom Spider Squard.
He was Whitebeard’s son, and even though he was unusually silent, Whitebeard didn’t have any guard up. Until Squard got closer and closer.
"Squard, what are you doing!"
After hearing the voices of the people around him, Whitebeard turned around slowly, looking at Squard, who had a resentful expression.
Squard was holding up his long sword, the tip of the sword aimed at Whitebeard’s back.
And his blade didn’t pierce Whitebeard’s body, because a red-haired girl had appeared at some point, grabbing Squard’s long sword with those slender hands.
"Old man, you’re too careless during a war!"
