Chapter 80: Summit War, the Empress's Complaints About Red Dog

At this moment, the Marines deployed three admirals, plus a hundred thousand ordinary soldiers, all vice admirals from headquarters, and temporarily recruited all the Seven Warlords to join the war against Whitebeard.

However, the so-called Seven Warlords basically just showed up without doing any real work; Hawk-Eye unleashed a big move at the start, but after being blocked by some diamond, he didn't lift a finger again.

Heavenly Yaksha and Big Bear were just making up the numbers; only Moria was excited, because this battlefield would have many corpses, letting him build more zombie troops.

The newly appointed Seven Warlord, Blackbeard, had not shown up at all.

Even among them lurked a certain traitor; whenever the Empress acted, she completely ignored friend and foe, even ordinary Marines would be attacked by her.

Especially after that certain Straw Hat Kid descended from the sky, the Empress's gaze never left him, and stars sparkled in her eyes, turning her into a massive fangirl.

The Empress is actually easy to handle, not! First you need the courage to beat up a Celestial Dragon, even kill one; then she might pay you a bit of attention.

Second, you need the ability to be immune to her powers, not be turned to stone by her petrifying rays; otherwise she'll still look down on you.

After Luode came to the pirate world, his strength was a bit weak and time was pressing; he had neither the time nor the ability to seek out the Empress.

Otherwise, the Empress's ability would indeed be a tremendous help!

But Luode couldn't guarantee he wouldn't be affected; the Empress's ability is overly buggy, and besides, he's currently in a lewd developmental stage and doesn't want to offend the Celestial Dragons.

At this point on the battlefield, the fight was deadlocked; after the Straw Hat Kid brought along another Seven Warlord, Jinbe, the Okama Queen Iva, and a large number of Impel Down-turned pirates appeared, they actually slightly turned the pirates' disadvantage around.

After the Straw Hat Kid arrived, he even blocked a sneak attack by Crocodile on Whitebeard.

Then the Straw Hat Kid joined the battlefield, began leading the pirates whose morale had surged, and continued forward.

"Charge! We must definitely rescue Ace."

"Let these Marines know how formidable we are."

At high altitude several hundred meters above Marine Headquarters, where the Marines are numerous, Luode and Kaido had already taken invisibility potions in advance, now circling in the air and overseeing the entire battlefield situation.

"Kaido, don't make too big a commotion, hold your breath a bit; we'll lurk to the side, you wait for my signal, then we'll move in." Luode said, looking down at the battlefield.

For this operation, Luode had specially prepared the invisibility potion; as long as he and Kaido don't act rashly, they won't be spotted by anyone on the battlefield.

Wait until the last moment, then come out to reap the fruits of victory—that's the best approach.

"Hmph! I know that guy named Marco; his Phoenix Fruit is also very useful, a top-tier Mythical Zoan." Kaido said.

Now, as long as someone is a Mythical Zoan user, or even an Ancient Zoan user, Kaido wants to take a shot at them.

The Phoenix Fruit ability is strong among Mythical Zoans; down below, Marco's performance has been very eye-catching.

He can even go toe-to-toe with a Marine Admiral, Yellow Monkey, for a long time without losing ground, though after Yellow Monkey exerts a bit of strength, it's unclear.

As the saying goes, in the Summit War two admirals are just sparring, the fleet admiral hero is watching the show, the Seven Warlords are slacking off, and only one admiral is giving it his all.

No wonder he could someday become the fleet admiral of the Marines.

"Please, wait a moment! My father-in-law isn't in a hurry yet; this time we'll borrow Blackbeard's power to seize the ability of the Underworld Fruit."

"And I and Sylvanas will observe up close, then test whether our magic can steal the Devil Fruit ability." Luode said.

Seizing the Underworld Fruit, using Blackbeard's power is just to ensure 100% success; Luode's magical ability, as well as the Queen Empress's life-draining ability, could also possibly steal Devil Fruit power.

We must experiment first; otherwise, relying on others for everything would be too cheapening.

"The fighting down below is really intense! That old geezer Whitebeard also jumped in, but this idiot was actually ambushed by his own subordinate." Kaido said.

At this point Whitebeard is old and frail; if he didn't use his Tremor-Tremor Fruit power to launch himself away, even pre-demonic-blood Kaido could easily defeat him.

Whitebeard in his youth was the real monster, though compared to that fellow Big Mom, he falls a bit short; even as strong as Kaido, he has to admit it.

Big Mom, who possesses such physical prowess without any training, is truly a master of martial arts, the strongest in talent; even her Devil Fruit ability is somewhat useless.

Just comparing raw physical strength, Kaido has never seen anyone able to burst her iron balloon; moreover, Charlotte Linlin also seriously trained for a period when she was young, ever since she settled in Totto Land.

She basically spends all day eating desserts and sleeping; even so, she maintains strength comparable to his. If she were willing to train hard, she'd be the strongest among the Four Emperors. All day she dreams of being some kind of nun—how nostalgic can you be, you damned old hag.

But now the situation is completely different; after gaining demonic energy and rage, Kaido is the strongest, his power having risen to a terrifying level.

At this point on the battlefield, things began to change; after Whitebeard joined the fight, he quickly took care of several giant vice admirals, leaving only Marine Admiral Red Dog able to hold him back.

There's no way around it; a Yonko-level existence can only be roughly matched by a Marine Admiral, aside from that certain hero, the other headquarters vice admirals are simply not up to snuff.

Soon Red Dog clashed with Whitebeard.

The power of volcanic lava and the fierce clash of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit made the battlefield instantly resemble a natural disaster.

The other two admirals were just holding him down; for a while Whitebeard couldn't free his hands, and after entering the harbor interior, the Marines also activated their secret weapon.

One huge robot after another, shaped like the Seven Warlords' Violence Bear, began appearing on the battlefield; the Marines finally deployed their secret weapon, the Pacifist.

To carry out the final encirclement and suppression of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Damn it, how, how can there be so many bears?!"

"What, what on earth is going on? Why? Why are there so many bears?" Okama Queen Ivankov looked at the nearby Big Bear, then at the distance, and spoke of the bears surrounding everyone.

Since they started fighting Big Bear just now, he noticed Big Bear's condition was off, as if he no longer recognized this comrade of his—they're executives and close friends of the Revolutionary Army! "Whoosh! He's no longer the Big Bear you knew; this guy underwent Vegapunk's final remodeling not long ago, becoming completely a cyborg, with his last consciousness erased; he's now a pure war machine." Doflamingo said, appearing on Big Bear's shoulder.

After undergoing the cyborg experiment and having his self-awareness erased, Vegapunk installed some laser weapons on Big Bear's body, but his strength compared to before can't be said to have increased; it can only be said to have weakened somewhat.

"How could this happen! Damn it, don't worry about the bear, I will definitely save you." Iva said.

After the Pacifists joined the battlefield, the pirates' side as a whole fell into disadvantage; the Straw Hat Kid going to rescue Ace was again blocked by Hawk-Eye's sword swing.

"Damn it! Bastard, get out of my way! Gum-gum, gum-gum, go wild!" However, the Straw Hat Kid's fist didn't swing out; instead it hit the ice wall on the ground.

In that very instant, he suddenly realized that if he really threw that punch, his arm would surely be cut off.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the great clown Bucky came to the rescue, and the Whitebeard Pirates' flower sword Bitas also arrived on the battlefield.

At this point Red Dog stood on the platform, began using Meteor Volcano—each massive flaming volcanic fist—crazily smashing down onto the battlefield, dealing heavy blows to the pirates inside the encirclement.

"This move's power is huge; this guy is practically a humanoid casting machine, but if I were him, I'd hide in the crowd and avoid close-quarters combat." Sylvanas said, watching Red Dog unleash Meteor Volcano with great divine might.

Such large-scale control of volcanic lava power is indeed formidable, and this guy can also be immune to some physical attacks.

In this situation, there is such a terrifying range attack.

All the more reason to stay in the rear and launch large-scale attacks, rather than charging forward on the front lines like a soldier.

I don't know whether my necromantic power can injure him.

These days she also planned to follow Luode's advice, waiting until after this seizure of the Underworld Fruit.

Besides developing Devil Fruit abilities, one must also learn this world's Observation Haki and Armament Haki.

"Hahaha! The physical fitness of humans in this world is at monster level, ridiculously strong, these Logia Devil Fruit users."

"Although long-range spellcasting is also a strong suit, they are more skilled at offensive combat." Luode spoke.

This is the cognitive error caused by different systems.

In the Aizelasi world, powerful spellcasters definitely hide in the back to cast magic, receiving protection from the frontline warriors.

"Who would run up to you and engage in close combat! Even if they are ogre mages or orc warlocks, this kind of race with strong physique would not go up to fight in melee."

"This guy's ability is equivalent to that of a top-tier fire mage." Xierwansi spoke.

At this moment, the battlefield also underwent an astonishing change; Caomao Xiaozi actually burst out with a powerful Conqueror's Haki.

The two executioners who were about to execute Aisi were directly knocked unconscious.
