Kizaru's Shock: The Uchiha Clan's Foundation
Now, with two top-tier experts, Yaoyu and Yakumi, leading the reinforcements, and dozens of elite Night Owl Guard pressing down from the air, the Uchiha Clan's battlefield strength has completely overwhelmed the Navy's current entire configuration.
Akainu a man of deep intellect and exceptional strategic acumen; in the blink of an eye, he deduced all the risks of the battle.
This is a complex and ever-changing New World, where the Big Mom Pirates lurk in the shadows, watching with predatory intent.
If the navy forces a war, it will inevitably fall into a stalemate and a lose-lose situation.
At that time, the group of Big Mom lurking in the shadows will surely take advantage of the situation, launch a surprise attack from behind, and reap the benefits.
Besieged on both sides, outmatched in combat strength, and in a passive position in the battle.
Starting a war at this moment would result in devastating damage that neither the navy nor the entire World Government could withstand.
After weighing all the options, Akainu, who is usually decisive and ruthless, could only choose to remain silent and stand his ground, letting his anger surge in his chest, and refusing to rashly provoke a major battle.
On the other side of the sky, Kizaru, suspended among the golden particles, had his last trace of languid composure shatter completely.
His eyes behind the sunglasses suddenly narrowed, a storm raging in his heart, filled with disbelief, astonishment, and shock.
What the heck?!
He had previously witnessed ten Night Owl Guard crushing the Blackbeard Pirates, which he already found absurd, outrageous, and beyond his comprehension.
But only now did he realize that those mere ten people were not the Uchiha's trump card at all, but merely the tip of the Iceburg!
Akainu arrived at the battlefield late and was unaware of just how terrifying the Night Owl Guard, dressed in greyish-white uniforms, were.
Each of them possesses individual combat strength comparable to the Yonko Commander and on par with Marine Admiral Candidate Level.
Blackbeard's top officers, who dominated the Four Blues and were renowned throughout the land, were utterly no match for them, and were mercilessly crushed in one-on-one combat.
Kizaru quickly scanned all the Uchiha figures in the sky and earth, including those on the ground and in the air, totaling forty or fifty top elites.
The gathering of forty or fifty Yonko Commander Level experts in the same sea area was a terrifying combination that completely overturned his understanding of his decades of experience navigating the seas and holding a high position.
What chilled him to the bone and made his heart tremble was that this was by no means the full extent of the Uchiha Clan's power.
As the ancestral home and core of the clan, Origin Island must retain a large number of elite troops to guard the homeland, and it is impossible to send all of its combat power out.
Based on this calculation, the number of Yonko Commander Level powerhouses in the Uchiha Clan has probably already exceeded one hundred!
The Yonko Commander! At this moment, Kizaru was filled with utter shock and bewilderment: Are all members of the Uchiha Clan born monsters?!
The Ryokugyu beside him had also completely shed all its usual playful and carefree demeanor.
The plant vines wrapped around its body curled up tightly, and its emerald green eyes were fixed on the dense black shadows in the sky, with fear and shock surging in its eyes.
Previously, his assessment of the Uchiha's fighting strength was extremely conservative. Only now did he fully realize that the clan's foundation was unfathomable and terrifying to the point of despair.
The sheer awe and shock evoked by these Admiral is still only a glimpse into the whole picture.
The Night Owl Guard has a clear hierarchy and a very clear division of strength.
Even their basic combat strength as ordinary members is enough to easily surpass the elite vice admirals of the Marine Headquarters, far exceeding that of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Doflamingo. They are powerful enough to dominate any sea in the world.
Only those elites who successfully Awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan can ascend to the level of Yonko Commander, or even touch the threshold of Admiral-Yonko Level, and become the core fighting force of the Uchiha Clan.
All of this was a secret unknown to the naval leadership.
The total number of registered members of the Uchiha Night Owl Guard has now exceeded two hundred.
Among them, five top-tier elite teams were formed, on par with the Yashiro, Tekka, Yaoyu, and Yakumi teams. Each member was a genuine Yonko Commander warrior, capable of sweeping across the Four Blues and confronting the complete main groups of the Four Emperors.
Uchiha Natsu's years of forbearance and refrain from a complete confrontation with the World Government were never due to a lack of strength or resources.
The only reason was that he was deeply wary of the unknown hidden plans that Imu had concealed on the Void Throne, and was unwilling to rashly ignite the ultimate war that would overturn the entire world.
Above the sky, the Yaoyu and Yakumi silently overlooked the vast ocean, while the Mangekyo Sharingan light flowed endlessly, and the overwhelming pressure of top-tier Chakra continued to suppress the entire area.
They did not launch an offensive or initiate a preemptive strike, but with their overwhelming combat superiority, they completely blocked the navy's momentum and escape routes.
Between heaven and earth, the Uchiha united as one, their auras flowing seamlessly, their crimson pupils illuminating the entire ocean, and their overwhelming pressure enveloping all directions.
The Three Admirals, each with their own thoughts, stood in a tense standoff, while thousands of marines were on edge, their backs soaked with cold sweat.
The entire New World Ocean has fallen into an intractable dead end.
The gale-force winds lingered, the smoke of battle settled, and a chilling killing intent lurked in every inch of the sea breeze.
A massive storm, capable of overturning the world order for millennia, has been fully brewing and is just waiting for a spark to ignite it, which will then erupt and sweep across the heavens and the seas.
The seas of the New World remain turbulent, and the chilling atmosphere of the entire world is still palpable.
The terrifying aura of the Uchiha Clan, encompassing heaven and earth, firmly suppressed the sea. Dozens of Night Owl Guard stood in formation in the air, their power overwhelming the sea. On the ground, the clan members formed a formidable barrier, their fighting spirit palpable, creating an extreme static standoff with the elite fleet commanded by the Three Admirals.
There was no roar of cannons, no clash of weapons, but this deathly silence and stalemate was more nerve-wracking than any bloody battle. Every inch of the sea breeze was filled with deadly intent that could be detonated at any moment.
Just when the battle was completely deadlocked and neither side dared to make a move, a crisp "bru bru" sound suddenly pierced through the oppressive silence inside the naval flagship, breaking the deathly stillness of the sea.
The dedicated Den Den Mushi connected to the Marine Headquarters vibrated incessantly, its eyes grave. The emergency communication frequency indicated that the intelligence coming from headquarters was of paramount importance.
Far away at Marineford's Marine Headquarters, Fleet Admiral Sengoku sat in his office hall, his expression no longer as composed as before.
Previously, CP0's reconnaissance teams, which had been lurking around the West Blue, sent back crucial intelligence overnight, accurately identifying that a large number of elite Uchiha Clan had quietly moved across the sea and were heading straight for this deserted island in the New World.
The news that dozens of uniformly dressed and terrifyingly powerful Night Owl Guard had rushed to the rescue was like a heavy hammer blow to Sengoku's heart, setting off alarm bells in his mind.
He was acutely aware of the value of the Uchiha Night Owl Guard, and even more aware of how perilous the situation was on the front lines.
Without daring to delay in the slightest, Sengoku immediately made a personal call to Kizaru's private communications at the front line, eager to confirm the true situation on the ground and assess the risk threshold of this standoff.
High above the sea, Kizaru, suspended among golden particles, sensed the communication connection and reached up to remove the vibrating Den Den Mushi from his shoulder.
