Chapter 18: The Golden Lion's troops shine! The monster girl army joins the battle!
"Haha, the captain is still in such a hurry."
"Brothers, let's go! Celestial Dragons, first come, first served!"
"Go go go, the Celestial Dragons are mine!"
Golden Lion's performance directly ignited the madmen under his command.
They jumped from the pirate ship, which had already reached a suitable height, onto the navy warship and began close combat.
For a time, these five warships on the sea became the main battlefield for the battle.
At this moment, the shells lost their original deterrent effect; the only thing one could trust was the weapon in one's hand.
Bloodshed and slaughter became the defining characteristics of the warships.
In no time at all, blood was flowing like a river.
Among them, the combat strength of several generals under the Golden Lion's command was particularly impressive.
"Hahaha, kill, kill, kill! Is this all the navy is capable of?"
"They can't satisfy me at all, they're all useless, useless, hahaha."
Billy the Wolf brandished his twin swords as naval soldiers came and went, each swing costing a life.
In just a short while, dozens of naval corpses had fallen at his feet.
He is the captain of the second division under the Golden Lion, with a bounty of 440 million Berries, and is extremely bloodthirsty.
He ranks among the top three pirates under Shiki's command.
Clang~
"Hmph, Navy, don't be too arrogant."
Faced with the rampant slaughter by the wolves, a swordsman from the Navy, wearing a rear admiral's coat, stepped forward and blocked his path.
"Oh? A rear admiral? Well then, you'll become the fifth rear admiral to die under my command, yahahaha."
"Arrogant and rude, watch me."
The two quickly engaged in combat. Although the wolves had the advantage in numbers, they were temporarily tied down.
At the same time, on another warship, Merlin, the Blood Butcher, the captain of the second division under the Golden Lion, was also restrained.
"A rear admiral, so this is all you've got. Watch me."
"Blood Slaughter Slash!"
A blood-red sword aura appeared, forcing the naval rear admiral back.
Looking around, the rear admiral's body was covered in wounds, demonstrating Merlin's formidable strength.
Merlin, the second strongest fighter under the Golden Lion, has a bounty of 520 million Berries.
Merlin seized the opportunity to finish him off, wielding his longsword swiftly and relentlessly engaging in close combat, causing the rear admiral to sustain numerous wounds.
"Don't be so arrogant, pirate, watch this."
At this moment, another rear admiral appeared on the side. The two rear admirals joined forces and finally fought Merlin to a draw.
The small battlefield here was once again tied down, resulting in a stalemate.
Battles fought by generals have always been able to determine the course of the battlefield.
These are two small battlefields that formed shortly after the start of the war, both involving major generals.
There were also smaller battlefields at the lieutenant general level, located on a warship on the right.
As one of the five lieutenant generals present, Lieutenant General Merck looked at the slightly chipped dagger in his hand and felt a heavy weight in his heart.
"Hahaha, Navy, have you seen my power yet?"
"Surrender obediently, and I'll spare your body as long as you're a lieutenant general. Otherwise, I'll chop you into mincemeat."
Ta-da!
Opposite Lieutenant General Merck, a mantis brandished its two sharp claws and spoke arrogantly.
One of the fifty sharp knives in Merck's hand was the one he had chipped in during the previous battle.
The strongest fighter under the Golden Lion, the captain of the First Division, the Bloodthirsty Mantis Meng Dan, with a bounty of 710 million Berries.
A vice admiral-level powerhouse, he is considered a prominent figure within the Rocks Pirates and is highly regarded by Shiki.
For this mission, all three division commanders under the Golden Lion were present, meaning they had practically brought out the most of their resources.
"Don't be so arrogant, pirates. You guys actually dare to covet the Celestial Dragons."
"That's wishful thinking. I should say the same thing to you: surrender if you know what's good for you, and I'll spare your lives."
"Otherwise, once the Kingdom of Fiore or even the headquarters arrives with reinforcements, you will surely die."
Lieutenant General Merck retorted in kind, stating that the two were evenly matched and neither could defeat the other in a short period of time.
Of course, if it's a protracted battle, Merck will have a hard time winning.
Meng Dan on the other side is a Zoan-type Normal-class Insect-Insect Fruit user in Mantis form, specializing in prolonged battles.
"Hahaha, since that's the case, let's see who's the best."
"Vice Admiral of the Navy, don't you dare burst into tears later."
"The Mantis Flashes!"
"You arrogant bastard, let me show you what justice really is!"
"Demon Slayer!"
Ta-da!
The two sides clashed again, sword energy flying everywhere, drawing in the entire warship.
Faced with such a battle, the other marines and pirates around them all chose to retreat.
To avoid accidentally getting involved and losing your life in a heartbeat.
The battle has only been going on for a little over ten minutes, and the members of the Golden Lion Pirates have indeed shown considerable bravery.
Battles below the rank of general will not be discussed for now, as they cannot affect the overall situation.
The others, in total, tied down two major generals, one lieutenant general, and one lieutenant general, Sengoku, who was comparable to a general.
It can be said that their record is outstanding!
However, this is far from enough.
The navy still has three vice admirals and eight rear admirals who are capable of fighting.
Brian, standing high in the air, watched the battle unfold below.
He focused his attention on the Celestial Dragons who were being protected by the two Vice Admirals and made up his mind.
"Griffin Girl, lead the monster girl army and attack with me. Defeat all the other marines below as quickly as possible."
"This mission has two targets: the Celestial Gold Saints and the Celestial Dragons protected in the middle."
"Yes, Master!"
"Sisters, follow me!"
"good!"
huh~
咻咻 咻 ~
Seven figures swiftly jumped off the pirate ship in the air, splitting into two groups to launch an attack on the navy ships on the two warships.
huh~
On the warship located to the left rear, streaks of green light sped by; they were terrifying blades of energy, like sharp claws.
These air blades, like slicing vegetables, reaped the lives of the navy in a spiral pattern.
puff~
Click~
The sounds of cutting echoed everywhere. The sailors couldn't even see the specific enemy before they were all killed, their bodies cut into pieces and falling to the ground.
"You're hiding your true colors, but if you're so capable, come and fight me head-on."
A major general on the ship clenched his fists, watching the scene with great emotion.
Even with his strength as a major general, he couldn't see the owner of that green energy blade.
His voice also attracted the attention of the air blade, which immediately changed direction and slashed towards him.
"Hmph, good timing."
"Storm Kick Slash!"
A large number of blue air blades were also emitted from the Major General's feet, constantly colliding with the green air blades.
Boom boom boom~
The collision generated a large amount of smoke and dust, obscuring the major general's vision.
snort~
puff~
A flash of cold green light streaked across the smoke at incredible speed, leaving behind a spray of blood.
The major general clutched his neck in disbelief, his eyes wide.
His Observation Haki was not up to par, and he was directly killed by an opponent whose speed surpassed his own!
pat~
A green figure appeared before him, looking down at the dying major general with a bored expression.
The first major general on this battlefield has been declared dead!
