Chapter 230

Hum~

Vast Haki surged into the sky.

Black air currents permeated the surroundings.

Tashigi, lying in Luo Xing’s arms, was the one who could most feel the terror of this aura.

Her heart trembled.

On one hand, she worried for the safety of her long-time colleague, Chaton.

On the other hand, she thought gloomily that she would probably never escape this man’s clutches again.

The terrifying aura finally brought Chaton, who had been blinded by jealousy, back to his senses.

A look of fear appeared on Chaton’s face.

Although he was an Admiral candidate, he was still a distance away from a true Admiral.

And the Fifth Emperor, Luo Xing, was one of the world’s top-tier powerhouses capable of killing Bullet.

If he rushed up rashly, the outcome would likely be his death without a burial place!

Chaton couldn't help but feel a sense of shrinking and retreat in his heart.

But looking at that detestable man still holding his dream goddess Tashigi, and Tashigi seeming to be dazzled by the man’s domineering aura,

Chaton’s monstrous jealousy erupted once again.

"Damn it! Hateful! I absolutely cannot let Tashigi be taken away by him!"

Chaton disregarded everything, unleashed his full strength without reservation, and continued to rush toward Luo Xing.

Luo Xing’s expression was indifferent; he held the beauty Tashigi in one arm and held the black blade Enma in the other, slashing from top to bottom.

"Purgatory: Yama!"

Hum hum!

A black sword wave, hundreds of meters wide, cut a deep trench across the sea surface, sliced through space at an incredible speed, and arrived in front of Chaton in an instant.

Chaton was horrified.

He didn't expect that man to use such a lethal move right from the start; was he not planning to test him a few times first?

Cold sweat ran down Chaton’s face.

He roared and bellowed, hurriedly channeling his ability and Haki, attempting to block the black sword wave.

But everything was in vain.

All his defenses, in front of this sword technique of Luo Xing’s that was imbued with Conqueror’s Haki, were like paper, easily torn apart, without the slightest significance.

Zichi!

The next moment,

the black sword wave sliced through the center of Chaton’s body, splitting him in two.

Blood sprayed wildly, staining the sea red; even a god couldn't save this person now.

Tashigi was stunned and closed her eyes, unable to bear looking at Chaton’s miserable state.

Luo Xing sheathed his blade as if he had just done a trivial little thing.

From Luo Xing subduing Tashigi and pulling her into his arms, to him killing Chaton with one sword strike, only a few minutes had passed.

Kong and Sengoku, who were in the midst of a great battle, had no time to react.

By the time they were ready to rescue, Tashigi had already been captured, and Chaton was already dead.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Army, and Air Force, Kong, immediately had bloodshot eyes and shouted in grief:

"Tashigi! Chaton!!"

Chaton and Tashigi had always been by Kong’s side, effectively Kong’s disciples.

Now that one was killed and the other captured, how could Kong not be filled with extreme grief?

"I will kill you, you bastard!"

This old man fell into a complete rage, wanting to kill Luo Xing.

But just as he took a step, a thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky, electrocuting him until he was charred.

Enel’s mocking voice said:

"Old man, you still want to go and disturb Young Master? Do you think this god is just a decoration?"

Kong spent a great deal of effort before he could use Haki to resist the current in his body.

His face became very ugly.

He was old and frail after all, and his strength in all aspects was not what it was in his youth.

Facing Enel, a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user with extremely high speed and powerful attacks, he was truly struggling.

He had no energy left to go and find trouble with Luo Xing.

"Damn it!"

Kong had no choice but to suppress his grief over Chaton’s death and observe other parts of the battlefield.

Sengoku, Kizaru, Aokiji, and the CP0 were all entangled by their respective opponents and couldn't get away.

And on the Beasts Pirates’ side, the giant battleship Sanjuan Wolf was wantonly destroying the Marines’ warships.

Wolf’s size was too massive; he could easily trigger tsunami-level waves, effortlessly flipping over a dozen warships.

Catarina Devon, Avalo Pizarro, and Vasco Shot also joined the action of destroying the warships.

If this continued, the Marines’ dozens of warships would all be destroyed before long!

203. Zoro’s Nine Sword Style: Asura: Drawing Sword: Dead Man’s Game! Tashigi is infatuated.

It wasn't just the warships being sunk; the war between the fifty thousand Marines and the criminal army and zombie army was also not optimistic.

Although the Marines had the advantage in numbers, the enemies were all like monsters.

They were fierce and unafraid of death; one of them could match ten Marines!

Kong made a rough calculation; the Marine casualties so far were estimated to have already exceeded ten thousand!

The intensity was rarely seen in the world, worthy of being called a bloody meat grinder.

While dealing with Enel’s lightning attacks, Kong shouted to Sengoku not far away:

"Sengoku, this can't go on; do you have any good ideas?"

Sengoku was entangled with the Knight of the Sea, Jinbe.

His strength, strictly speaking, was still above Jinbe’s, who had eaten the Dragon-level monster cell.

After all, his Zoan: Human-Human Fruit, Model: Daibutsu form combined offense and defense, and his vitality and recovery were astonishing.

However.

This was the sea, the Fish-Man’s home turf; Devil Fruit users were greatly restricted here.

Jinbe dove directly into the seabed, occasionally throwing powerful ocean current attacks at Sengoku.

Sengoku could only passively block or use shockwaves to counterattack Jinbe.

But Jinbe continued to dive into the depths of the seabed; no matter how strong Sengoku’s shockwaves were, they couldn't affect the deep seabed.

Sengoku was quite exasperated; he couldn't catch Jinbe at all.

Of course,

Sengoku could also ignore Jinbe and go help others defeat their opponents.

But if he did that, Jinbe could attack the Marine warships without restraint.

Jinbe, who could control ocean currents, destroyed warships faster than Sanjuan Wolf.

If he really ignored Jinbe, all the warships would be sunk in a matter of moments.

By then, their Marine side wouldn't even have a place to stand.

Sengoku was extremely helpless and could only continue to be entangled with Jinbe like this.

Hearing Kong’s anxious voice at this moment, he became even more depressed and irritable.

If he had a good idea, he would have said it long ago; why would he wait for Kong to ask?

Sengoku replied with a dark face:

"Commander-in-Chief Kong, the best way right now is to call the Five Elders and have the World Government send more troops to support us!"

Kong’s expression was awkward.

Where would the World Government have spare troops now?

It wasn't that the World Government only had these fifty thousand troops left, but that in order to maintain the rule of the Celestial Dragons, most of the government’s troops were stationed all over the sea.

Gathering these troops would take a lot of time; it definitely wouldn't work in a short while.

Kong then thought,
