"Whoever can rescue Miss Xiaqi will be favored! Men, charge with me!"
"Don't let those guys get there first! Only I can save Shakky!"
"No, I'm Shakky's biggest fan!!"
The captains of the various pirate crews roared like hot-blooded idiots, leading their underlings in a charge towards the tribunal.
Dimon actually knew quite a few of them; he had seen them occasionally when he was on Beehive Island.
To be honest, he admired the pirates' courage, even though Shakky, whom they were trying to rescue, wasn't there.
clack clack-
The seawater that poured into the square froze, and the ice spread rapidly, turning the square into an ice surface in the blink of an eye.
Even the pirate ships that fell from the sky were turned into ice sculptures in a very short time.
Amidst the steam billowing across the square, Aokiji wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stepped out.
Facing a large number of pirates, he assumed a fighting stance, his expression serious:
"Naval Headquarters Lieutenant Commander Kuzan, if you want to get through here, you'll have to step over my dead body!"
One of the pirates recognized Aokiji and immediately said, "I've heard of him! This guy is one of the Navy's most talented newcomers in recent years, a Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit user!"
"A Logia-type?!" One of the captains was taken aback, then sneered, "Just a newbie, nothing to be afraid of with a Logia-type!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man immediately led his men to meet Aokiji in battle.
Dimon stepped aside and went to the roof of a building by the roadside.
There were also naval snipers on the roof, but they were all unconscious.
"Young Aokiji is quite passionate."
Dimon sat down and watched the game leisurely, his impression of Aokiji greatly changed.
However, the pheasant wasn't the main point; he hadn't forgotten his purpose for coming here and picked out a few good leeks to taste.
The three generals at present are still too inexperienced and do not have the value to devour.
His real target should be the naval admiral-level combat force.
I had a buffet at the Deep Sea Prison earlier, and I've already digested it all today. I deliberately saved room for today.
"Sengoku, Zephyr, and Garp are facing Roger and his crew at the Bridge of Hesitation; now is the perfect time to strike..."
Dimon glanced at the Tower of Justice out of the corner of his eye.
The Tower of Justice, the temporary command center.
Lieutenant General Tsuru looked distressed: "We're under attack from both sides, and our formation is in disarray."
She picked up the Den Den Mushi and issued orders to the entire army.
"The troops at the main gate must immediately reinforce the island. The unusual tsunami just now helped the pirates break into the island!"
“Gion, immediately gather those who are still conscious.”
"Jiaji, are you still awake? If you are, answer me!"
As instructions were relayed down, He, as the chief strategist, had a clear understanding of the situation and immediately took steps to salvage the situation.
We can ignore the Bridge of Hesitation for now; with Sengoku and his two companions blocking the way, Roger's pirate crew won't be able to cross for a while.
As for Roger's remaining crew, the lieutenant generals have already gone to provide support.
Therefore, let's deal with this group of New World pirates who have come to their deaths first!
"What happened with that tsunami just now...?"
Beside him, the warden of the Grand Prison, Columbus, spoke in a hoarse voice.
A sudden tsunami without wind or waves seems highly unusual.
Vice Admiral Tsuru's expression darkened: "It is indeed very strange, very much like Whitebeard's ability..."
If the Whitebeard Pirates also show up, then things will get complicated.
However, according to the Navy's intelligence, the Whitebeard Pirates still haven't taken any action in the New World, and they won't know about Shakky's arrest.
"...I'll go check on the situation."
Are you going to send them out?
Lieutenant General Crane was slightly taken aback.
Then they saw Columbus covered in thick blood, which eventually transformed into a blood-red arrow that shot out of the Tower of Justice and headed straight for the island.
"Huh? They're here!"
On the rooftops near the plaza, Dimon's brow furrowed, and his Observation Haki immediately detected a powerful aura approaching.
A massive, blood-red arrow pierced the center of the plaza, turning into a pool of thick, red liquid.
The liquid writhed and gradually took on a human shape.
"Blood Puppet - Beast Cage!"
When Columbus appeared, he spread his hands, and a large amount of blood dripped from his palms.
The blood that fell onto the ice surface rapidly expanded, transforming into blood-red puppets.
Wolves, lions, tigers, and leopards!
Various ferocious beasts were born, numbering in the dozens.
At the tail of each beast, there was a bloodline connecting to Columbus's palm.
"What's this?!"
A pirate noticed something amiss, and then a blood wolf charged at him, baring its teeth and opening its gaping maw.
The pirate was startled and cleaved the Blood Wolf in two with a single strike.
But then, the blood wolf, which had split in two, became two heads. One head bit the pirate's right hand holding the knife, and the other head bit the pirate's neck.
"Aaaaaah! What kind of monsters are these!?"
Amidst screams, the pirate was pounced on by two blood wolves and knocked to the ground.
At the same time, all the blood-red beasts launched an attack on the nearest pirate.
These blood beasts are immortal beings; they will split when they are killed, and the more they are killed, the more numerous they become.
"Why isn't my Armament Haki working?!"
"Damn it, if I kill it, it will split apart; if I punch it to pieces, it will reassemble!"
"That guy is controlling it!"
The pirates quickly discovered the culprit and focused their attention on Columbus.
Seeing several powerful pirates attacking him, Columbus remained expressionless, though blood oozed from his feet.
The blood spread rapidly, covering an area of hundreds of meters. The pirates who stepped into the blood were immediately stuck to it.
"Damn it, don't step on it! These things will invade my body!"
Some people are bound by blood, which seems to have a life force, drilling into any opening they see, such as the nose, mouth, and ears.
In the blink of an eye, a pirate was transformed into a blood-soaked figure.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he moved uncontrollably. The next moment, he raised the butcher's knife and pointed it at his companion.
Dimon quietly observed the abilities of this chief prison warden.
"Special Paramecia type, it is indeed very similar to Logia type, and its ability is quite good."
He alone easily suppressed numerous New World pirate crews.
Dimon felt like he was watching the Sabaody Archipelago arc, where Kizaru kept saying "How scary!" and then kicked a Supernova one by one.
Some of these New World pirates who came to Enies Lobby are far more powerful than the Supernovas.
Several have bounties exceeding 3 million.
Thinking of this, Dimon's lips curled into a slight smile.
"Then let's test if you're qualified to be eaten... Domain expansion!"
The shadow behind him transformed into a pitch-black curtain, from which a figure emerged.
The next moment, Kozuki Oden charged toward Columbus.
While suppressing numerous pirates in the New World, Columbus was searching for the person who caused the tsunami.
Those who can do that must be extraordinary individuals, and it should be easy to tell them apart!
Suddenly, his expression changed.
Two sharp blades pierced his chest from behind.
Columbus turned his head and stared intently at the attacker.
It was a dual-wielding samurai with a bowl cut hairstyle, his cold eyes emitting a faint red glow, and he couldn't sense any sign of life from him.
"Your Observation Haki didn't detect you... Who are you!?"
Kozuki Oden did not respond, but simply carried out orders faithfully.
He drew two swords with a fierce motion, and in the next instant, he unleashed Oden's Two-Sword Style: Momozono Flash!
Columbus was cut in two with a single stroke.
Chapter 74 Call Me Dio, Ora Ora Fist
"Director Columbus!"
Aokiji was stunned for a moment as he stared at Columbus, who had been ambushed and cut in two.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, a pirate captain punched Aokiji hard, sending him flying.
"Charge! Don't stop! Rescue Xia Qi!"
The pirates, their morale soaring, raced toward the distant courthouse.
However, their triumph was short-lived. The ice ahead began to melt, revealing a crimson hue.
Suddenly, lava erupted, and pillars of fire shot into the sky.
A navy officer wearing a baseball cap emerged from the lava, exuding an awe-inspiring presence. With each step he took, the ground beneath his feet melted into molten lava.
"Don't be so arrogant, you mere pirate!"
Akainu's face darkened, and he unleashed a powerful punch at the pirate captain at the front.
The arms formed from magma suddenly stretched out, and the enormous fist of lava swept everything aside.
"Big fire-breathing!"
Suddenly, screams sounded.
"Ahhh, it's so hot! It's burning me!"
"It's the Navy's magma brat, Sakazuki! Damn it, one Logia type after another!"
"Don't be afraid, there are many of us, he can't stop all of us!"
There were over a dozen New World pirate crews, numbering in the thousands, while on the Navy's side, most of the combatants below the rank of Vice Admiral were stunned.
The lieutenant generals then went to reinforce the battlefield at the Bridge of Hesitation.
The various pirate crews began to split up. Some were intercepted by Akainu, but many more tried to avoid them and invade from both sides.
Their goal was to storm the courthouse and rescue Shakky, not necessarily to fight the Navy to the death.
Among them were those who mastered the Six Powers of the Navy, leaping up and using the Moon Walk technique to cross over Akainu's head.
"Hahaha, the first person to rescue Shakky was me! The great captain of the Hell Pirates, 'Devil' Bill!"
Just as Bill was about to step over Akainu, a beam of golden light flashed from the side.
The next moment, the golden light condensed into a human form, and Kizaru kicked the person back from mid-air.
"No, we can't let you through easily, or we'll be in big trouble."
