Suppression
The Night Pirates transformed into war machines, attacking the members of the Whitebeard Pirates.
This also showcases the unique characteristics of the Night Pirates: the mechanical arms attached to their backs are not only flexible and have a wide range, but also possess great destructive power, giving them a significant advantage in battles where the opponents are evenly matched.
Countless members of the Whitebeard Pirates have been killed because of the mechanical arm.
There are also mechanical arms. Due to the cruelty of war, there are quite a few people with physical disabilities in the Night Pirates, but they all eventually underwent modifications by the Night Pirates' science department and were specially made with mechanical arms, thus being revived.
Even as members of the Night Pirates, they possess personal items that outsiders cannot obtain with their mechanical hands.
The modification of the robotic arm incorporates weapon design, including melee weapons and even firearms tailored to individual characteristics.
There is even the power of electricity, especially since the mechanical arms are alive. Whether it is a cold weapon or a firearm, they maintain the shape of an arm before use. During the battle, they can be controlled at will and suddenly appear, making them almost impossible to defend against.
Due to the wars of recent years, many members of the Night Pirates now have mechanical arms, making them a unique sight within the Night Pirates.
Most people will disguise it as a normal arm, while some will not hide it and will keep the original appearance of the prosthetic arm.
As an affiliated pirate crew, in a clash between powerful individuals, the Whitebeard Pirates were able to hold their own for a while.
However, in battles against lower-level pirates, the Night Pirates held a significant advantage, both in terms of numbers and strength.
The Night Pirates dispatched a total of 40,000 men to the battlefield against the Whitebeard Pirates, which is a huge number. There were seven armies in total, each with more than 5,000 men.
With the collision initiated, the site set up by the World Economic News in the Transponder Snail was also fully opened, and now this site is somewhat similar to the website in Teach's memory.
After it was launched, thanks to the World Economic News's powerful intelligence network, the news was immediately disseminated throughout the world, attracting a large influx of people to the site to watch the live stream and express their opinions.
"Don't underestimate the Whitebeard Pirates!" Jozu roared. Slada's words were undoubtedly a sign of contempt for the Whitebeard Pirates.
Jozu's arm muscles bulged with rage, his powerful movements compressing the air as he swung his fist at incredible speed, slamming it into Slada's face.
Slada's entire face was contorted and deformed by the punch. He took a slight step back, supporting himself on one leg, and sank deeply into the ground.
Withstanding the punch head-on, Slada swung the anchor, the domineering power covering the Ryou, and the huge anchor slashed directly into Jozu's waist and abdomen.
A diamond-like body doesn't mean invincible defense; it's the combination of Armament Haki that forms the foundation for Jozu's fame in the New World.
Jozu was jolted by Slada's powerful blow, but he did not retreat. However, his legs sank deeply into the ground.
"Just admit defeat honestly and hand over this area of the sea. That way, you can minimize your losses. Just wait and see, it won't be long before you're all wiped out." Slada laughed, emanating a terrifying aura. "The Whitebeard Pirates are no match for the Night Pirates. Admit it!"
All around, the Whitebeard Pirates were suffering increasing losses, but like Jozu, many members of the Whitebeard Pirates were still persevering.
Although the war between pirates is brutal, in order to reduce losses, it is normal to retreat when it is clear that one's own strength is insufficient. An island is just an island and is not that precious.
At worst, we can take back the lost territory later.
The strength of the Night Pirates was beyond expectations. In terms of both quantity and quality, besides Slada, there was another lieutenant, who was also a member of the Night Pirates. Slada's lieutenant was Kaguya, who had already grown up.
In addition, there are three captains of affiliated pirate crews, as well as other powerful individuals, making their combat strength truly formidable.
There are other strong members as well.
However, the Whitebeard Pirates were extremely stubborn, and the two sides were locked in a deadly battle. This was because of Slada's words, which showed contempt for the Whitebeard Pirates, and this angered Jozu and the others.
They all had deep feelings for the Whitebeard Pirates. It was impossible for them to admit that the Whitebeard Pirates were inferior to the Night Pirates. They refused to admit defeat and would fight to the death without regret.
This is no longer a typical territorial dispute between pirates; it's a bloody battle.
"Don't think this war is like the last one, a game of make-believe. The Night Pirates don't need prisoners. Since you refuse to retreat, you'll all die here." Slada sneered in a deep voice, this was their unwavering will.
They were determined to defeat the Whitebeard Pirates. As for death, they didn't care. They would retreat if they were seriously injured, and then return to the fray after recovering. The initiative was in the hands of the Night Pirates.
"Prepare for hell, before your Pops arrives."
"Surround the island, don't let them escape."
Slada shouted, and the main members of the Night Pirates quickly reacted, because Slada had already told them beforehand.
"Retreat! Retreat! The boss is about to unleash a powerful attack!" The main members of the Night Pirates shouted to the others, urging them on.
Upon hearing their words, the members of the Night Pirates retreated, moving away from Slada, and, following Slada's orders, formed a crescent formation to try and surround the Whitebeard Pirates.
This was Slada's first display. A violent wave of energy suddenly erupted from Slada's body, causing his body to swell and grow larger, and his tail, covered in scales, became even thicker.
In a mere instant, Slada transformed into a terrifying crocodile, a colossal beast ten meters tall and over a hundred meters long.
The Emperor Crocodile, a super Hunter that stood at the top of the ancient food chain, has finally been revealed to the world.
The terrifying prehistoric beast, coupled with the sand and dust swirling around Slada's transformation, instilled a chilling fear in all who beheld it.
Many people stared wide-eyed. Although many had witnessed Kaido of the Beasts's complete beast form, they were still shocked by Slada's transformed appearance.
Compared to Kaido presence, Slada is more ferocious.
Kaido, who was watching the war closely, admired Slada even more, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh with regret, wondering why such a talent wasn't Beasts Pirates.
"Destroy, Jozu, my goal is to make you all perish here." His dark golden beast eyes were filled with savagery and extreme cold-bloodedness, and his crocodile mouth, which seemed capable of devouring everything, roared.
Slada's tail swept out with tremendous force, crushing a large number of Whitebeard Pirates members under its unparalleled power, their screams echoing throughout the area.
Jozu's eyes narrowed. Facing Slada now, he dared not relax for a moment. His muscles tensed and his blood surged. Hearing his companion's screams, Jozu roared angrily and charged forward with a burst of energy.
While Slada has become even more terrifying, his agility has been greatly reduced, which is his advantage.
Knowing Jozu's formidable defense, Slada needed even greater power.
Boom!
Just as Jozu charged forward, in that instant, Slada, transformed into a ferocious Emperor Crocodile, suddenly stomped his limbs on the ground. The terrifying force caused the ground below to crack and collapse, creating a depression tens of meters in size.
It charged forward with ferocious speed, appearing in front of Jozu almost in the blink of an eye.
"Aww!"
Slada's gaping maw, filled with sharp teeth, opened as if to devour the heavens and the earth, and fiercely bit down on Jozu. Its terrifying bite force even created a wind cave within its gaping maw, unleashing a chilling gust of wind.
In the collision, Jozu forcefully rammed into Slada, and with the boost from Armament Haki, Jozu's diamond fist unleashed even greater power.
Jozu's fist, powerful enough to easily shatter a small mountain, blocked Slada's charge, but couldn't advance an inch. Slada's scales covering his entire body displayed astonishing defensive power; when his fist collided with Slarda's, it only sparked countless dazzling sparks.
The power of Slada in his complete form is even more terrifying. Emperor Crocodile is also known as the Muscle Crocodile, which speaks volumes about the terror of his power.
"Roar!"
The stalemate lasted only a moment before the Emperor Crocodile suddenly let out a terrifying roar. A terrifying force erupted from its massive body, and its sharp teeth and massive jaws opened and closed with Savage Power, directly shattering the terrifying impact of Jozu's punch.
A violent shockwave erupted.
Jozu was thrown back by the force of the impact, and in the midst of it, Slada instantly moved his limbs, causing the ground to tremble violently, and slammed into Jozu.
"Hmph!" Jozu's eyes narrowed, he gritted his teeth, and did not back down at all. He touched the ground with both feet to stabilize himself, took a step forward with his right foot, and swung his iron fist, which had turned into a diamond, unleashing the power of his physical body without reservation.
A terrifying impact force erupted, tearing the surrounding air to shreds, and in an instant, it collided powerfully with the oncoming Emperor Crocodile.
Boom!
A terrifying roar, like a mountain collapsing, resounded through the sky, as if two meteorites had collided. The sound waves and air currents simultaneously transformed into a terrifying shockwave that spread and exploded in all directions.
The ground within a radius of several hundred meters collapsed, forming a huge crater, and the aftershocks spread for thousands of meters.
The aftershocks on the nearby sea created huge waves that crashed against the shore and washed away into the distance.
Both Slada and Jozu are among the strongest in the New World. Although they are not quite as terrifying as the world's top powerhouses, their destructive power is still astonishing.
As a result, their first encounter unleashed tremendous destructive power, almost completely altering the surrounding terrain.
The terrifying aftershocks lasted for several breaths. Suddenly, Jozu's body jolted, and he was uncontrollably thrown backward. His legs, which were stuck in the mud, slid out two deep trenches, each tens of meters long.
Slada, however, with his limbs covered in scales and bulging with ferocious muscles, suddenly thrust forward with tremendous force, slamming a claw into Jozu's body.
Boom!
Slada's giant claws sank deep into the ground, and beneath them lay Jozu, completely immobilized by Slada's power. Despite his struggles, he was utterly suppressed.
"All of you, charge! Kill them all, leave no one alive!" Slada said coldly. He knew that killing Jozu would be difficult and hard to do, but he didn't care about the other Whitebeard Pirates. They had an absolute advantage right now.
Jozu's suppression by Slada further demoralized the Whitebeard Pirates, who suffered repeated defeats and dwindled numbers under the siege of the Night Pirates.
The entire battlefield was a scene of carnage. Those who had witnessed the previous war clearly felt that this war was completely different from the last one.
Besides plundering territory, the Night Pirates also aim to defeat the Whitebeard Pirates, showing a completely different attitude, which can be felt from Slada's words.
The Whitebeard Pirates' relentless fighting to the death was somewhat laughable to many pirates; if it were them, they would have retreated long ago. What could be more important than life?
It was just an island, but they underestimated how much the Whitebeard Pirates valued the Whitebeard Pirates's honor.
More importantly, Slada's strength was simply too great, unexpectedly suppressing Diamond Jozu and dealing a major blow to the Whitebeard Pirates.
Later on, the Night Pirates had already formed an encirclement, so even if the members of the Whitebeard Pirates and their affiliated pirate crews wanted to escape, they couldn't.
This is not just a battle for territory; battles for territory alone are not that brutal.
In the ocean, when powerful figures like Jhin and Katakuri appear, if there aren't enough strong opponents to counter them, they usually just cede their territory. It's simply not worth risking your life for a battle you can't win.
At most, I'll fight for a bit, then quit; that way, I can save some face.
Jozu struggled weakly, but to no avail. He was pinned down by Slada and pressed to the ground. Although he couldn't see, he could clearly hear his companion's screams and the sound of him falling.
Slada was also unable to make any further moves; all he needed to do was restrain Jozu and prevent him from acting.
Many members of the Whitebeard Pirates, worried about Jozu, recklessly rushed over in an attempt to rescue Jozu, only to be killed by Slada.
The Whitebeard Pirates' numbers were dwindling, and those who survived were the elite. Compared to the Whitebeard Pirates' losses, which were visibly severe, the Night Pirates suffered far fewer casualties. Once someone was seriously injured, they would immediately withdraw.
The weaker members of the Night Pirates didn't need to throw their lives away. People of different strengths have different battlefields, and now their battle is over.
Therefore, they surrounded the battlefield while providing some support.
After all, Slada's goal was to wipe out all the members of the Whitebeard Pirates, which was also their goal. The Whitebeard Pirates fueled their desire to conquer them.
Jozu's stamina was constantly being depleted. Slada's terrifying power forced him to continuously diamondize for defense. More importantly, Jozu was constantly struggling, trying to break free from Slada's grasp.
The more Slada struggled, the more firmly Jozu held him down.
"Damn it!" Elsewhere, the Whitebeard Pirates members watching the live stream were furious.
Seeing the numerous corpses of their comrades lying on the ground, the arrogant Night Pirates wantonly slaughtered their companions, and Slada's words had already spread throughout the world.
"... Just the Whitebeard Pirates, nothing without Whitebeard!"
"... The Whitebeard Pirates are no match for the Night Pirates, admit it!"
"Don't think this war is like the last one, a game of make-believe. The Night Pirates don't need prisoners..."
"Prepare for hell, before your Pops arrives!"
It's incredibly brainwashing and exudes a powerful Haki, clearly conveying contempt for the Whitebeard Pirates. It also makes the significance of this war for the Night Pirates clear: a bloody battle to crush the Whitebeard Pirates as stepping stones.
Even Teach and the others hadn't expected Slada to be so eloquent, prolonging a war that could have ended much earlier. This also reflected the sentiments of many members of the Night Pirates.
Of course, this also reflects Slada 'Slada terrifying strength, which allows him to easily suppress Jozu.
This also broadened the horizons of many people, even surprising Teach and other members of the Night Pirates. After all, the Night Pirates' territory was vast, and although there were some opportunities for them to meet, they couldn't properly spar due to the war.
Slada has a very domineering personality. Anyone who knows him knows that it is difficult to suppress him without absolute strength.
In Teach's eyes, Slada has the potential to be a king, that is, Conqueror's Haki, but this aspect was suppressed after he joined the Night Pirates.
Meanwhile, the Emperor Crocodile's abilities also stimulated his potential. Combined with the Devil Fruit's power, it gave Slada a special power, similar to Bullet's demonic aura, Slada called the Savage Power. However, he did not control it and found it extremely difficult.
However, once mastered, it greatly enhances one's combat strength.
