Seeing the large amount of black flames reappear, Dragon was still somewhat frustrated!
He had already seen hope of victory, but the enemy was like water in a sponge; just when he thought he had none, someone else could always squeeze some out!
This made Dragon sigh with admiration. The foundation laid by a regime that had ruled the world for nearly a thousand years was something his Revolutionary Army, which had only been established for a few decades, could not compare to. Even if they included some of the top pirates in the New World, they still couldn't match it!
The battlefield situation changes constantly, and even the most composed person will lose their composure!
Dragon knew that Vic was lurking in the shadows. He was just a little frustrated, not completely desperate, but he didn't ask for help. He knew who Vic's real enemy was.
After witnessing the immortality of the God's Knights and the Five Elders, and seeing the endless stream of enemies, the Straw Hat Grand Fleet were somewhat desperate, because they knew that even if they joined forces, they couldn't defeat any of them.
Kaido also somewhat disheartened. He couldn't avenge himself again. After waiting for so many years, it felt like he had waited in vain. So his attacks became even more ferocious, hoping to completely kill the ram's skull mask man in a short time!
The Big Mom is quite single-minded now; all she sees is fighting, as if that's her goal for the rest of her life!
As for Kid and Law, they were somewhat worried because they were now on Luffy's side, so even if they ran away now, they could still escape!
The Holy Knights and the Five Elders won't chase after them; they don't have time to bother with them!
However, they have indeed attacked the World Government, which is no different from rebellion. Once the World Government has completely dealt with Luffy and his crew and is free to deal with them, it will be their turn!
However, they were not completely hopeless. Just as Tsuru said, there were still forces that hadn't been brought to the table yet. The Red Hair Pirates and the Thunder God Pirates were both on Luffy's side, and the World Government was not guaranteed to win!
Akainu broke out in a cold sweat, feeling a bit scared but also relieved that he hadn't intervened. He had held back time and time again, almost becoming a Ninja Turtle.
When Kaido and his crew joined the Straw Hat Boy ' camp, he saw such a huge advantage that he almost couldn't resist ordering the entire Navy to launch a counterattack against the World Government!
In fact, Akainu now understands that only powerful Conqueror's Haki can inflict true damage on an immortal body.
At most, only two retired old men in their navy possess Conqueror's Haki: Sengoku and Garp.
Neither this generation nor the next Awakening Conqueror's Haki. The only exception is Kuzan, who left the Navy after fighting him. What does this indicate?
This shows that the World Government is consciously guarding against their navy. Many of the ideas that the World Government has passed on to the navy are deliberately set up to suppress the Awakening of Conqueror's Haki!
As for why Sengoku and Garp were able to Awakening Conqueror's Haki?
One possibility is that their talent was too strong, and no matter how much they tried to suppress it, it was useless. They broke through the suppression directly with their powerful talent!
Another point is that they live in an era of unbridled growth, a fact that the World Government has not yet realized.
It wasn't until after a certain incident ( the God Valley Incident ) that the World Government realized the threat posed by Conqueror's Haki and the issue of loyalty within the Navy, and thus began to deliberately suppress the emergence of Conqueror's Haki within the Navy!
This also explains why the Navy hasn't produced another Conqueror's Haki Awakening since their generation. The only one to Awakening, Kuzan, did so only after leaving the Navy. It's terrifying to think about!
The expressions on the faces of the Sengoku and their men were also quite interesting. The rapid changes in the situation had left them overwhelmed. How many unexpected things had happened in less than half a day?
They thought the Five Elders were doomed, but then they summoned the Holy Knights, and the situation was instantly reversed!
Just when everyone thought the Revolutionary Army would suffer a disastrous end, they received reinforcements. After all this back and forth, Sengoku is no longer willing to draw any conclusions so easily!
Just like Garp and Tsuru said before, there are still people who haven't appeared yet, so it's too early to draw conclusions. He just needs to stand by Garp's side!
Without Dragon, a free agent capable of breaking the deadlock, Luffy's side was instantly put at a disadvantage!
Because apart from Dragon and Luffy, the others don't have an overwhelming advantage at all, and they will inevitably fall into a disadvantage as time goes by. Now that the God's Knights Trainee have joined, the time they will fall into a disadvantage has been shortened infinitely!
At this moment, Dragon was being besieged by three God's Knights: the Yeti -like, hairy God's Knights who escaped from Kid after the arrival of the God's Knights Trainee; Saint Shepherd Sommers who escaped from Sabo; and the gas-masked God's Knights who escaped from Jinbe!
With these three God's Knights working together, Dragon was unable to kill his opponent instantly; he was effectively tied up!
The same applies to Luffy: the blond God's Knights escaped from Franky and Brook, the strong middle-aged God's Knights who escaped from Chopper and Robin, plus Maffey and Jiringomu who were already besieging him.
Luffy is currently being besieged by four God's Knights, and even in his Nika Form, Luffy's struggling!
Those who previously had an advantage, such as Sabo, Zoro, Kaido, Nami, Ace, Kuzan, now have God's Knights Trainee joining their battle, and their advantage has vanished!
After a group of God's Knights Trainee joined the fray, everyone on Luffy's side was put on the defensive!
They can hold out for a short time, but as time goes on, the Five Elders and the God's Knights ' immortality will become apparent, while Luffy and his crew will be defeated due to the massive depletion of their stamina and Haki!
"Bear! Has your attack that killed Saturn recovered? Things look a bit bad on Dragon and Straw Hat Boy's side!"
While using Death Wink to fend off the pirates' attacks, Ivankov approached Kuma and asked a question.
Although he was constantly resisting the pirates' advance on the Thousand Sunny, he was also keeping a close eye on the battle on the main battlefield.
Seeing that the World Government had sent reinforcements again, and that Dragon and his group were instantly at a disadvantage, his heart sank. He could only hope that the cooldown of the attack that Kuma used to kill Saturn had expired!
"No!"
The Kuma deflected the pirates' attacks with the fleshy paws on its hands, then turned to look at Ivankov before looking away.
However, he still didn't say much. Saturn wasn't actually killed by him; it was Vic who used him to kill him!
He knew that Vic wanted him to kill Saturn to avenge his family and Ginny, but he wasn't sure if Vic would actually do it. He couldn't tell Ivankov the reason right now.
"Oh no! Does that mean we're doomed today?!"
Hearing the two emotionless words from the Kuma, Ivankov felt even heavier. They had underestimated the behemoth that was the World Government!
A powerful force that has ruled the world for nearly a thousand years cannot possibly be without its own armed forces!
Moreover, that Imu has the ability to grant others lifespans. The Five Elders are the kind of people who are out in the open, like the tip of Iceburg!
How many such powerful individuals are hidden in the shadows? Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine!
"Hey! Hawk-Eye! Marco! Something's wrong! Ace and the others are strong, but they can't handle the sheer number of enemies!"
I think we should abandon guarding this ship and go support them. What's the point of us guarding this ship if even they can't survive?
