Chapter 464: Chapter 464: The World Government at a Disadvantage
However, Roz was merely surprised; it did not mean he would fear the opponent. As Li Yuan's child, he had known no fear other than that of his father since childhood! "Wind God Slash!!"
Countless powers of wind quickly converged, transforming into a massive blade a hundred meters long. The invisible hurricane in the world was as if the Wind God had descended, wielding the hundred-meter blade and fiercely slashing down at Saint Lavende.
"Water Curtain of Heaven!!!"
Seeing this, Saint Lavende immediately mobilized his abilities, and countless streams of water cascaded down like a waterfall, blocking in front of him.
"Rip!!!"
However, this waterfall of water, even if it was dozens of meters thick, was easily torn apart by the Wind God Slash, and it directly struck Saint Lavende's serpentine body like a hot knife through butter.
The scales on Saint Lavende's serpent body were torn apart as if made of paper, and the blade even cut down to the spine, but it was resisted by the spine itself.
In an instant, countless serpent blood sprayed out, dripping and splattering in the air, creating a gruesome scene.
"Hahahahaha, damn World Government lackey, die for me!"
"Kill them, if we kill these guys, this world will be ours!"
"Celestial Dragons should not exist in this world; they should be completely exterminated today!"
"What a pity, the Five Elders were snatched by those five brats; otherwise, I would have gone to beat those Five Elders standing at the pinnacle of world power and see if they are that tough!"
"..."
As Gai Nie and the others attacked the Five Elders, the other pirate crew members also began to engage the World Government's top combatants! Everyone present was one of the strongest members of their respective pirate crews, so facing the World Government's top combatants, they were not the least bit flustered; in fact, they were madly excited.
This battle would determine the fate of the world. As long as they won this fight, the world would be ruled by them, the pirates. How could they not be thrilled? How could they not go crazy? "Hoohoohoo, damn Celestial Dragon, die for me!"
"Thunder Bagua!"
Transforming into his Human-Dragon Form, Kaido swung his kanabo and unleashed a powerful attack on the nearest Celestial Dragon's top combatant.
Deep in his heart, Kaido's hatred for the Celestial Dragons was no less than anyone else's, making him one of the most eager participants in this battle.
Now that the battle had begun, he no longer needed to suppress his hatred for the Celestial Dragons; he just needed to vent it fiercely and kill the Celestial Dragon in front of him! "Dirty pirate, how dare you invade Mary Geoise? Death will be your final destination!"
Celestial Dragon Ulysses Garcia looked at the charging Kaido with disdain, wielding a long sword covered in Armament Haki and slashing down with all his might.
"Bang!!!"
However, before his disdainful expression could even fade, he felt an overwhelming force sweep over his entire body from the blade.
His face still held a look of disdain, but his body was sent flying like a cannonball.
"A greenhouse flower dares to clash with my thunder, seeking death!"
Now it was Kaido's turn to mock the opponent, but mockery aside, Kaido's speed did not slow down at all. As thunder surged, he rapidly charged toward the direction where Ulysses Garcia had been sent flying.
"Ulysses Garcia!!!"
Another top combatant Celestial Dragon, Andy Williams, saw his comrade being sent flying by Kaido's kanabo and immediately wanted to rush over to help.
But as soon as he charged forward, he was blocked by several of Kaido's calamities.
Although Kaido's calamities alone were not as strong as top combatants, they had no problem teaming up to stop one! "Damn pirates, get out of my way!"
Andy Williams drew his long sword and slashed, sending a massive strike toward the flame disaster, but it was dodged, and in retaliation, a burst of flames was shot back.
"Hahahahaha, if you want to interfere with our boss's battle, you have to get past us first!"
The plague disaster Queen laughed heartily, and behind him, mechanical devices launched five massive missiles.
"Since you are seeking death, I will send you to hell first!"
Andy Williams was thoroughly annoyed by Queen and the others, so he decided to kill these troublesome guys before making any other plans! At this moment, Kaido was like a frenzied beast, wildly swinging his kanabo and relentlessly attacking Ulysses Garcia.
With his super strong defense and thick health, Kaido recklessly charged into the crowd.
"Damn pirates, how dare you disrespect the Celestial Dragons? Die for me!"
Kaido's reckless behavior angered another top combatant Celestial Dragon, Trevor Brooks.
"Elbaf Spear: Nation's Might!"
However, before Trevor Brooks could get close to Kaido, an overwhelming shockwave surged toward him.
"Not good!!!"
Trevor Brooks instinctively covered his hands with Armament Haki and blocked in front of him, but he was still violently struck by the terrifying shockwave, causing him intense pain as his body was sent flying like a cannonball.
"Mahh, Mahh, you damn Celestial Dragons, don't forget your enemies are not just Kaido, but also me!"
Charlotte Linlin revealed all her Homies, stepping on the thundercloud Zeus and arrogantly charging toward the Trevor Brooks who had just been blasted away.
Following Charlotte Linlin were her three strongest children: Charlotte Katakuri, Charlotte Smoothie, and Charlotte Cracker.
Their goal was the same as Kaido's subordinates: to hold back one of the Celestial Dragons' top combatants.
"Yohohoho, damn Celestial Dragons, how dare you imprison me for so many years? This time, let me destroy you!"
"Hahahahaha, what Rocks couldn't accomplish back then, let me complete it!"
"The blood of the Celestial Dragons still stinks as always, but I happen to love it!"
"Exterminate the Celestial Dragons, rule the world!"
"..."
Kaido and Charlotte Linlin charged at the forefront, while John, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, and Brandon were not far behind, rushing out alongside Kaido.
Their strength was significantly stronger than that of the Celestial Dragons' top combatants, and they were pushing their opponents back steadily.
Excluding the Five Elders, the twenty-five top combatants were being dealt with as follows: the Beasts Pirates, Big Mom Pirates, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, John, and Brandon were handling eight, while the Flying Pirates were dealing with seven, leaving the remaining ten to the Infinite Pirates.
However, when the twenty-three cadres of the Infinite Pirates appeared, they completely dominated the ten top combatants of the Celestial Dragons.
The twenty-three powerful combatants from the Infinite Pirates included: Esdeath, Akame, Asuna, Barrett, Hermes, Chinjao, Ashura Doji, Nepal, Howard, Kano, Karu, Kumas, Mari, Gerald, Amy, Enel, Tesoro, former Shichibukai Atle McClane, Doflamingo, Fujitora, Akainu, Weevil, and Green Bull.
Among these twenty-three, the vast majority did not adhere to the rules of combat, directly engaging in two-on-one fights.
The Celestial Dragons' top combatants were already weak, and facing the Infinite Pirates' two-on-one tactics, they found it nearly impossible to withstand.
In an instant, the battlefield of Mary Geoise was overwhelmingly in favor of the pirates, who had maintained the upper hand from the very beginning.
The only two who had not yet engaged were the Golden Lion and Li Yuan, both of whom were waiting for the World Government's strongest, Imu, to appear.
At the same time, they were observing the entire battlefield. Seeing the one-sided situation of the World Government, they couldn't help but smile.
"Hahaha, Li Yuan, it seems your Infinite Pirates really have a lot of top combatants!"
However, the Golden Lion's smile quickly faded as he realized that the Infinite Pirates' top combatants were indeed numerous, far surpassing those of the Flying Pirates! He did not want to see this situation.
Once, he had thought that even if the Infinite Pirates had more top combatants than the Flying Pirates, it wouldn't be by much—just a few more at most.
Now, seeing the true strength of the Infinite Pirates on display, it was clear that they had more than doubled their numbers!
If the Flying Pirates were to engage the Infinite Pirates in battle, there was no doubt that the Flying Pirates would suffer a humiliating defeat!
Fortunately, he had not clashed with the Infinite Pirates before; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable! "Hahahahaha, Golden Lion, you didn't want to have more children, while I have eight! They have all grown up now, and they are eight top combatants, the strongest kind, while you only have two children, and they lost to my two daughters. How can you compare with me!"
Li Yuan laughed heartily.
Hearing Li Yuan's triumphant laughter, the Golden Lion gritted his teeth.
Ever since he had been surpassed by Li Yuan, he had always felt suppressed.
Even now, he felt he could not compete with Li Yuan. If it weren't for the fact that they had not clashed over the years and had gotten along well during their time on the Rocks ship, sharing common ambitions, they would not have been able to join forces against the World Government.
"Hmph, the war has just begun. The world king you speculated about has yet to appear. As long as I defeat him, I will be the king of the world!"
"But don't worry; after all, we've known each other for decades. If I become the king of the world, I won't kick you while you're down. You can still share the world with me!"
As he had said before, he was someone who could accept defeat. As long as this world war followed the previously agreed-upon rules, if Li Yuan won, he would naturally admit defeat!
But for now, the outcome was still uncertain. As long as he won, the position of world king would be his! "Hahahahaha, is that so? Then let's wait and see who will become the new world king!"
Li Yuan laughed.
He liked the Golden Lion's straightforwardness and willingness to accept defeat.
Moreover, he did not want to reach a point of mutual destruction with the Golden Lion, as he considered him a friend after all these years!
Time rewind:
Core area of Pangea Castle: Sitting on the Void Throne, Imu protected the core area of Pangea Castle with his abilities during the explosion, preventing it from being destroyed.
"Another airstrike explosion, simply damn it!"
As the dark power surrounding him faded, even though Imu's face was not visible, his voice conveyed endless anger.
However, even though he knew who was responsible for all this, Imu did not rush out immediately to kill the enemy.
Instead, he quickly made his way to his backyard, where there was a massive, earthy-yellow rock straw hat. Seeing that the hat had not been destroyed, Imu let out a sigh of relief.
Immediately, a surge of dark power erupted from beneath Imu's feet, flowing into the base of the straw hat.
"Crack!!!"
The rock straw hat suddenly stood upright like a manhole cover.
Where the straw hat had originally covered, a massive underground entrance appeared.
Seeing this, Imu rushed down as fast as he could, not knowing how deep he traveled underground through this passage. When he reached the bottom, his vision suddenly opened up.
There was a space as large as two football fields, filled with various high-tech machines.
Most notably, there were over a hundred things resembling nutrient tanks, each containing a person lying inside.
They were naked, and various nutrients were injected into their bodies through technological means.
Most importantly, these people were all still alive, and judging by their muscular bodies, each one was incredibly strong.
However, on their chests, there was a dark mark that filled their chests, inscribed with mysterious runes.
"Fortunately, nothing happened here!"
Looking at everything here unchanged, Imu breathed a sigh of relief. The massive explosion had made him most afraid of the aftershocks burying and destroying this place.
"Give me your power!"
With a wave of his hand, the dark runes on the chests of these hundred-plus individuals suddenly lit up with black light. The black light then flew out of the nutrient tanks and into Imu's body.
"Truly wonderful!!"
The moment these dark powers entered Imu's body, he felt an incredible sense of comfort, as if he had become young again, his body filled with vitality.
Meanwhile, the bodies of those hundred-plus individuals seemed to shrink slightly due to the departure of the black light. Although it was not obvious, they had indeed shrunk a little.
Consultation of Opinions: Some readers suggested that after finishing the pirate section, I could write about Dragon Ball, as the pirates are considered a lower world while Dragon Ball is a higher world.
Are there any readers who have opinions on this? I want to see how many readers agree with crossing over to Dragon Ball. (End of this chapter)
