Seeing Goenitz appear, an unfamiliar Top Combatant blocked his path.
The World Government's strategy was clear: wipe out the Monster Legion first.
As for the Pirates' reinforcements, they could spare people to hold them off at any time.
But Goenitz ignored him outright, circling past him at astonishing speed.
He charged into the ranks of the Monster Legion's three heavy hitters, helping shoulder the pressure.
Only then could the Monster Legion hold out longer.
The others, whether Typhon, the Liger Mammoth, or the immortal "Pighead Emperor" Crute, would not fall so easily.
The Hundred-Armed Octopus Shark, for instance, only had to face a single enemy, Saint Herentin.
With Goenitz, a master of Body Techniques versed in all kinds of methods, joining them, the pressure on Meruem and the other two suddenly eased considerably. They gave him grateful looks as they searched for chances to counterattack.
Aside from Meruem, neither Carnage Kabuto nor Ulquiorra was in good shape.
Carnage Kabuto's massive size meant he bore the greatest pressure.
Ulquiorra's body was relatively more fragile, making him the main weak point in their defenses.
After joining them, Goenitz took the initiative to attack their strongest opponent, "Black Arm" Zephyr.
He severed the connection between Zephyr and the World Government's other fighters, disrupting their coordination.
Zephyr was the spearhead of their attacks and had created countless openings for the others.
Powerful though he was, Goenitz had nothing to fear from him in the short term.
Goenitz's fighting spirit soared. Powerful opponents so well suited to him were few and far between.
In fact, Goenitz's appearance had startled many people.
They had almost thought the Flying Pirates had arrived, only to discover he was alone.
Where had Goenitz been before this? Or had he simply been lucky enough to be nearby and arrive ahead
