Crocodile unleashed a sandstorm he had conjured in his palm, clearing out a large swarm of pirates that were attacking him again. He then turned to look at the main battlefield.
Although he had a cigar in his mouth and exuded a powerful aura, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
Crocodile no longer wants to protect a worthless, dilapidated ship. If Ace and the others are all killed, what's the point of protecting a ship without a One Piece? He might as well abandon the defense and join the great battle to the death!
"I have no objection!"
Hawk-Eye wanted to fight strong opponents, especially those who wielded swords, and the Holy Knights had many such strong individuals; he had long wanted to have a battle with them.
However, given Ace's previous lineup, there was no need for him to take action. But now it's different; enemy reinforcements have arrived, and it's time for them to make their move!
His hawk-like eyes quickly swept over Crocodile and Marco, then he turned and unleashed a Flying Slash, sending a large group of pirates flying!
"If we don't stop them, those pirates will soon discover that there's nothing on that ship. Then they'll face more than just powerful figures from the World Government; our place is just as important!"
Marco also wants to help Ace and the others, but they really can't lift the blockade right now!
Perhaps these pirates aren't as strong as the Five Elders and the God's Knights, but they have enough numbers to keep Ace and his crew exhausted!
Even if they lift the blockade and join the battle, it won't change the outcome much. It's better to buy Ace and the others more time!
" Katakuri! What's wrong with Mom? Why is she helping the Straw Hat Boy? Didn't she hate the Straw Hat Pirates the most before?"
Kaido and Big Mom joined the fight against the World Government, while Katakuri and King also led their men to join the effort to stop the pirates from approaching the Thousand Sunny.
Smoothie was puzzled by her mother's drastic change. When the Straw Hat Boy had the upper hand, she felt that her mother was just adding icing on the cake and helping the Straw Hat Boy was perfectly reasonable!
But now the Straw Hat Boy are completely at a disadvantage, and their mother isn't even thinking of running away, but is preparing to stick with the Straw Hat Boy all the way to the end. This is too strange, too abnormal!
"That's a good thing. It means Mom has changed, and Whole Cake Island will be more humane from now on!"
Katakuri glanced back at his elderly mother, who was locked in fierce combat. His gaze was no longer so cold. He felt that his mother's change was a good start, and that she would no longer trade her children's happiness for personal gain!
"Brother Jin! Should we help Boss Kaido? His enemy looks very powerful!"
Jack and King were also intercepting the pirates from one direction. They weren't just standing by and watching; since their leader had stepped forward, they wanted to stick together.
Since they can't participate in high-level battles, they'll contribute in other ways. King knows why Kaido attacked the World Government; it's a long-cherished wish they've waited for for many years!
"No need, simply guarding this place is the greatest help you can give him!"
King carries a deep-seated hatred for the World Government, but his strength doesn't allow him to take revenge. Now, he can only place his hopes on the Straw Hat Boy, who are probably the only ones capable of overthrowing the World Government!
As the battle intensified and time passed, Luffy and his crew were clearly struggling to keep up. They were all panting heavily and trembling, and many of them were injured!
They were strong, but the enemy outnumbered them and possessed immortality and inexhaustible stamina. Their flesh and blood bodies simply couldn't hold out for long. If this continued, they would either be killed or exhausted to death—a foreseeable outcome!
" Garp! Aren't you going to make a move? Your grandson's almost beaten to death, and the forces you mentioned probably aren't coming!"
Sengoku was still struggling to maintain his composure amidst the one-sided battle. He saw the God's Knights and the Five Elders being killed several times, only to be quickly resurrected. How could he possibly win a battle like this?
I finally managed to take one down, but the opponent just kept reviving and remained completely unharmed!
But you can only drag your exhausted body and grit your teeth to keep going. This kind of battle with no hope can only make you more and more desperate. Even if Sengoku was just an observer, he could feel that despair!
"It will come! The situation isn't that bad, and the children aren't that fragile. Trust them!"
Garp is God Realm powerhouse. Even if he didn't know that Vic was hiding in the shadows, with his speed, he could still save people at the crucial moment!
Moreover, Vic was lurking in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment, so his mindset remained stable. This was the sense of security that strength brought—like having enough food at home to keep you calm!
" Garp, you..."
On the battlefield, Luffy and Zoro, with their superior strength, could barely hold on, but Usopp, Brook, Chopper, and Robin were truly at their breaking point!
Although their enemies were no longer the immortal God's Knights, even the God's Knights Trainee were struggling to keep up!
They simply don't have the ability to make the other party need immortality to survive, so there's no difference between trainees and full-fledged trainees!
If they can't win, they can't win. Even if they join forces, they still can't win. The longer it drags on, the more obvious their disadvantages will become!
"Nicole Robin! You Devil Child, you filthy worm!"
You're the Straw Hat Pirates to Laugh Tale, right? If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened. Are you feeling desperate right now?
You are a sinner, a sinner who led your companions to their deaths. They will all die because of you today. Stop resisting and let this saint help you find release ahead of time!
The God's Knights Trainee fighting Robin and Chopper is a blond young man who looks to be in his late twenties!
He comes from the Donquixote Family, making him a relative of Doflamingo; they are related by blood.
However, after Doflamingo's parents moved away from Mary Geoise with the two brothers, the relationship between the two sides came to an end.
This young man is just like Doflamingo, with an extremely wicked personality. He attacks Robin and Chopper while verbally attacking Robin's heart, destroying her will to resist!
" Robin! Don't listen to him, we all volunteered!"
"Careful!"
Seeing that Robin's condition was obviously not right, Chopper quickly spoke up to remind her. With life and death at stake, how could she be distracted by other thoughts, especially those that would bring her immense guilt!
This is undermining a person's will. Robin carries too much on her shoulders, making it easy for her to get stuck in a rut. And the person who lured Robin into this emotional state is definitely not a good person!
But Chopper's warning came too late. In this life-or-death battle, even the slightest mistake could lead to utter destruction!
Robin was clearly greatly affected, which was part of the plan of the young man from the Donquixote Family. He had prepared his killing moves and was just waiting for Robin to show a weakness so he could deliver a fatal blow!
When Robin was awakened by Chopper's worried and anxious voice, her pupils contracted instantly; it was too late to dodge or retaliate!
The opponent's hand, entwined with Conqueror's Haki, was less than twenty centimeters from her chest. In less than half a second, the opponent would pierce her chest!
