No matter the world, there will always be people who are good at arguing and debating.
In the real world, we might even fight over the taste of a certain food.
Little do people know that taste is a subjective matter, which is why it's called "taste."
In the real world, besides gender antagonism, the most frequent comparisons are between the military strength of generals from different dynasties.
Even in a world where supernatural powers don't exist, this is still the case.
It's easy to imagine how popular the debate about who is the World's Strongest would be in a world like One Pirate King!
However, Gawain had no interest in paying attention to the arguments of people all over the world.
At this moment, he simply stood in the center of the battlefield, silently observing everything around him.
Slaughter, death, screams, bewilderment.
He saw that some of the pirates at the forefront had already begun to quietly retreat.
He saw that even some people on the navy, and even on the Dark Bird Ship, were beginning to evacuate from the battlefield.
The retreating pirates were hacked to pieces by the eager-to-charge crew behind them.
The guys are charging in, and you're coming down?
Doesn't that mean the men's efforts were completely pointless?
Damn it!
And the retreating navy...
Same.
How could any army be without a supervisory team?
To die at the hands of the enemy, or at the hands of one's own teammates—this is the ultimate fate of everyone who steps onto this battlefield.
But the situation for soldiers in this world is far worse than in reality!
In reality, the course of war sometimes does not unfold according to the will of the higher-ups.
When one's own troops suffer too many casualties, a large-scale retreat by the entire army is necessary.
Even the general could only lament that he was born at the wrong time, and was powerless to overcome the will of countless soldiers and allow the war to continue in its desperate resistance.
And in the current Pirate World...
In this world, ordinary soldiers... have no will of their own!
Because every general here possesses strength far exceeding that of ordinary soldiers!
Even if all the soldiers are killed, they won't be considered to have lost until the generals have truly determined the victor!
Just like the massive war right before our eyes...
Although the battle lasted only half an hour.
Accompanied by dense crowds, powerful enemies, and the continuous emergence of various large-scale destructive skills.
Gawain was certain that in just half an hour, more than three million people had already been lost on this battlefield!
Three million lives were wiped out in half an hour!
War...
The blood beneath Yuanfei's feet could not describe anything!
Previously, Gawain, whose career had been delayed, hadn't had the chance to pay attention to these things.
But now...
Gawain followed...
Gawain fell silent...
This is what he must learn and be determined to continue.
Why...
After a sigh, Gawain looked around and then looked towards the rear of his own camp.
He reached out his hand, and the black hole that appeared before him immediately connected him to the distance.
He pulled a chair out of the black hole, then deactivated the black hole and placed the chair behind him.
Slowly sitting down in the chair, Gawain crossed his legs, placed his hands on the knee of the upper leg, and continued to observe everything before him.
Death is meaningless, but war is meaningful.
The only purpose of war is to end war in the world.
This is not the fault of one generation, but the tragedy of an entire era.
As Gawain pondered, his silent, upright figure was finally noticed by the successive waves of pirates.
"Hey, look over there!"
"That's Celestial Dragon!"
"He's tired, hahaha, he must be exhausted from fighting the emperors!"
"If we take him down, we'll win!"
"He can no longer stand; he even needs to sit in a chair!"
"Kill him!"
"Take his trench coat back and use it as a pirate flag!"
"Steal his wife!"
"Fuck him!"
"Fuck him!!!"
Amidst the shouts of countless pirates, the target of the initial attack by the pirates was abruptly changed.
Originally, the pirates' charge was not just one wave; they scattered into countless waves, impacting every part of the entire coastline.
At that time, their goal was the Red Line!
In the minds of ordinary pirates, they believed that once they reached the Red Line, they could defeat the Marines, then go on to take down Mary Geoise and overthrow the Celestial Dragon!
This unrealistic fantasy is also the hope that ordinary pirates are willing to die for.
Only the high-ranking pirates knew that their attack on Mary Geoise was merely a ploy to force out the real enemy.
As long as we pose a sufficient threat to Mary Geoise and force the real mastermind behind it all to surface.
Gawain is destined to face judgment from Mariejois for his role in creating this event!
What?
You're saying Mary Geoise won't try Gawain because he's Gawain Celestial Dragon favored by the Five Elders?
Fart?
Does valuing something mean you can do whatever you want?
Moreover, the will of the God's Knights will not change with the Five Elders!
Gawain has quite a few things on his record that the God's Knights have already noted down.
In short, before Gawain sat down, the pirates' objective was very clear and effective.
Once they broke through the naval defenses, they achieved their goal of harassing Mary Geoise.
Even Gawain will face considerable trouble.
But now...
Gawain's sitting down, in effect, diverted the pirates' attention to a considerable extent.
Those pirates who had already fought their way up to the top discovered that Gawain, that bastard, had actually just sat down.
They even abandoned the Red Line and charged towards Gawain instead.
Well then, hehe.
At least for the time being, Gawain doesn't need to worry about pirates spreading out and attacking the Red Line.
As for the pirates attacking him...
In the distance, Teach stuck out his tongue and licked his bloodied fist.
Across from Teach, Ace was struggling to get up from the ground.
Supporting himself with his upper body, Ace raised his head and gritted his teeth as he looked at Teach.
"I really regret it. I should have worked harder to improve my Armament Haki in the past!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ace's body trembled slightly, and he used a lot of effort to stop himself from falling further.
As for Teach...
By this point, Teach had lost all interest in looking at Ace.
His short stature meant he was already slightly weaker than him, and the Yami Yami no Mi's suppression of Logia was simply too great.
As a result, Ace was utterly defeated by Teach, and in a way that was more like a defeat so profound that he couldn't even do a sit-up...
So, Teach waved to Ace and turned to look at where Gawain was sitting in the distance.
Staring intently at Gawain's posture, Teach spoke to Ace without turning his head.
"Tch ha ha ha, the son of Pirate King Roger, the young man favored by Rayleigh and Gawain, Fire Fist Ace."
That's all there is to it, nothing special at all!
You can stay lying here, kid. I have more important things to do.
It's a rare opportunity to truly clash with that guy!
If you don't seize this opportunity, you may never have another one like it!
"Tch ha ha ha!!!"
Amidst the laughter, Teach suddenly sprinted forward, raising his right hand high towards Gawain's position as he charged.
"Get ready, Celestial Dragon!"
Dark Water!!!
As Teach's voice rang out, darkness pierced through the sunlight like tentacles, reaching the spot where Ben Gawain was leisurely swinging his leg.
Gawain remained completely unfazed by Teach's attack, which came closest to him.
Just before the Dark Water was about to rush towards Gawain...
A large white dog, crackling with lightning and auspicious clouds, suddenly leaped out of thin air!
"Captain, hahaha, I, Oden, have come to protect you!"
As long as I'm here, I will never let any scoundrel touch a hair on your head!
As soon as he finished speaking, Yamato stretched out his body, suddenly stretched out his neck, and bit down into the roaring Dark Water!
In an instant, the Dark Water gathered on Yamato's face, tormenting him with its devouring Yamato!
Yamato is the Devil Fruit of Okuchi no Makami, and Okuchi no Makami, without a doubt.
Any god with a large mouth is probably related to the power of devouring.
Thus, the devouring of the Okuchi no Makami and the absorption of the Dark Water immediately began to clash!
From afar, noticing Yamato's appearance, Teach grinned disdainfully.
Revealing his missing teeth, Teach muttered something under his breath with a cold laugh.
"Tsk tsk, Oden, even at a time like this, someone still brings up that coward's name."
Well, let's just say it's... tsk tsk!
As expected of a dog, even its Devil Fruit form is a dog!
Celestial Dragon, Gawain!
Are you really going to rely on a dog to protect yourself when you're exhausted?
Dark Hole!!!
At this point, Teach suddenly bent over while running and then slammed his hands hard on the ground.
As Teach moved, boundless darkness immediately began to spread from beneath Teach feet.
In just a moment, the rapidly spreading darkness had already swallowed up countless things!
"Aaaaaah!"
"It was swallowed!"
"What is this?!"
"My body feels like it's sunk into a swamp!"
"Help me!"
"They even ate the soil!"
"How terrifying!!!"
Amidst the screams of countless people, in just a moment, the Dark Hole rapidly spread to Gawain's vicinity.
Just as the Dark Hole were about to spread to Gawain's front.
Sudden...
Wow!
With a crisp sound, an incomparably dazzling light exploded in front of Gawain.
As Teach pressed his hands to the ground to manipulate Teach Dark Hole, Borsalino, who had just arrived, grinned lewdly.
"Oh my god, how terrifying! Is this the future of the Whitebeard Pirates, Blackbeard?"
The Yami Yami no Mi, what a terrifying ability! It seems to counteract my abilities?
Then something interesting happened.
Hey Blackbeard over there, which do you think is stronger, the Yami Yami no Mi or my Glint -Pika Pika no Mi?
Otherwise, let's give it a try!
As soon as he finished speaking, Borsalino gently raised his right hand.
"The Yasakani no Magatama!"
As the name of the move was uttered, endless light surged towards Teach in the blink of an eye!
Facing the countless lightsabers, Teach and then raised his hands.
"Muda, everything you've done is useless!"
The Yami Yami no Mi contains the purest darkness in the entire world!
Even light will be swallowed up by darkness!
Just as Teach roared, endless darkness surged into the sky like tentacles, blocking Kizaru's path.
No matter how many light swords the Yasakani no Magatama unleashed, they were all completely devoured by the Dark Hole.
Looking at the extremely arrogant Teach, the Fleet Admiral in the distance narrowed his eyes.
"Borsalino is so lazy! He's only been fighting Rowan for a short while, and he's already started slacking off!"
Almost all the energy of Logia was useless in the face of that Devil Fruit!
But if we continue to let His Gawain make a fool of himself like this...
That would be a huge disgrace to our navy!
At this point, Sengoku and the crane beside him exchanged a glance.
After one glance, he suddenly leaped into the air, and then his entire body transformed into Golden Great Buddha nearly 800 meters tall!
Upon seeing the golden Buddha suddenly appear on the battlefield, the nearby pirates all roared in shock!
"That's Fleet Admiral!"
"Ah, it's the Buddha Form!"
"Damn it, it's Zoan Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Buddha Form!"
"Even the Fleet Admiral has made a move!"
"Brothers, keep it up! Even the Fleet Admiral has made his move; the enemy has run out of cards!"
Amidst the countless shouts, the gigantic Sengoku the Buddha coldly glanced at the surrounding battlefield.
He then quickly located Blackbeard's position.
With just two steps, after crushing hundreds of square meters of ground, the Buddha Form leaped up and instantly landed in front of Blackbeard.
"Blackbeard!"
Suddenly leaping into the air, the golden Buddha Form roared coldly.
"The ocean is not yet at a level where a brat like you can act arrogantly!"
Get back to your godfather and hide under my ass!
The Buddha Impact!!!
Boom!
The Buddha Form suddenly stretched out its right palm and then pressed it down hard on Teach.
In that instant, boundless Haki swirled in Sengoku's palm, and his extremely skillful Armament Haki, after being wrapped in the thick Conqueror's Haki, easily shattered the deep Dark Hole!
Feeling the Conqueror's Haki emanating from the Sengoku, Teach gritted his teeth in envy!
Even this Celestial Dragon's dog possesses Conqueror's Haki?
Damn it!
Damn it!
Is your Conqueror's Haki just for bowing down to the Celestial Dragon?
You've truly disgraced the name "Conqueror's Haki"!!!
As he roared inwardly, Teach raised his hands, desperately fighting against the Buddha Form's palm crashing down from the sky!
However, no matter how hard he tried, his body grew lower and lower under the pressure of the Buddha Form!
Stalemate, stalemate!
Teach, having exerted all his strength, gradually bent over.
Boom!!!
He couldn't hold on any longer; the impact of the Buddha Form of Light was too great, truly too great!
Crack!
In an instant, Teach was completely pinned to the ground by the Buddha Form.
At that very moment, countless cracking sounds echoed from Teach's bones!
"Aaaaaaah!!!"
Teach's screams echoed throughout the battlefield. Because the Yami Yami no Mi had enhanced Teach's pain receptors, the pain he was experiencing was beyond everyone's imagination!
Hearing such a scream, the Whitebeard man was immediately drawn to it. He had just wiped away the blood and tears from the corner of his eyes and quickly looked at his son with worry!
Meanwhile, in the distance.
Marco and the others, who were preparing to perform, all looked at Teach with deep emotion.
He actually acted out all the scheduled injury scenes himself!
Teach, you're such a loyal friend!
