Chapter 237
Hum~
Vast domineering pressure surged skyward.
Black qi spread everywhere.
Peach Rabbit, lying in Luo Xing's arms, felt the terror of this momentum most acutely.
Her heart trembled violently.
On one hand, she worried about the safety of her colleague of many years, Chatun.
On the other, she quietly thought she would likely never escape this man's clutches again.
The terrifying momentum finally brought Chatun, whose mind had been lost to jealous rage, back to his senses.
Fearful expression appeared on Chatun's face.
Though he was an Admiral candidate, there was still a gap between him and a true Admiral.
And the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing was one of the world's top-tier powerhouses capable of killing Barrett.
If he rashly charged forward, the likely outcome would be death with no place to bury his body!
Fear and a desire to retreat arose in Chatun's heart.
But seeing that detestable man still holding his dream goddess Peach Rabbit in his arms, and Peach Rabbit seemingly dazed and captivated by the man's domineering bearing,
Chatun's overwhelming jealous rage erupted once more.
"Damn it! Hateful! I absolutely cannot let Peach Rabbit be taken by him!"
Chatun disregarded everything, unleashing his full strength without reservation, and continued charging at Luo Xing.
Luo Xing's expression was indifferent; with one arm holding the beauty Peach Rabbit and the other wielding the black blade Enma, he slashed downward.
"Purgatory · Yama!"
Buzz! Buzz!
A black sword wave hundreds of meters in size carved a deep trench across the sea surface, slicing through space at an incredible speed, instantly arriving before Chatun.
Chatun was horrified.
He hadn't expected that man to use such a killing move right from the start; did he not intend to test the waters first?
Cold sweat streamed down Chatun.
He roared and shouted, frantically activating his abilities and domineering pressure, attempting to block the black sword wave.
But it was all in vain.
All his defenses, before Luo Xing's sword technique wrapped in Conqueror's Haki, were like paper, easily torn apart, meaningless in the slightest.
Sizzle!
In the next moment,
The black sword wave sliced straight through the center of Chatun's body, cleaving him in two.
Blood sprayed wildly, staining the sea red; even a god could not save this person now.
Peach Rabbit froze, closed her eyes, unable to bear watching Chatun's miserable state.
Luo Xing sheathed his blade as if he had done something trivial.
From Luo Xing subduing Peach Rabbit and pulling her into his arms, to him instantly killing Chatun with a single sword strike, no more than a few minutes had passed.
Garp and Sengoku, who were in the midst of battle, had no time to react.
By the time they prepared to rescue them, Peach Rabbit had been captured, and Chatun was already dead.
Fleet Admiral Garp's eyes immediately turned red, and he cried out in grief:
"Peach Rabbit! Chatun!!"
Chatun and Peach Rabbit had always followed Garp, equivalent to being Garp's disciples.
Now one was killed and one was captured; how could Garp not be heartbroken?
"I will kill you, you bastard!"
This old man fell into complete rage, intending to kill Luo Xing.
But before he could even take a step, a thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky, electrocuting him until he was charred outside and cooked inside.
Enel's voice sneered:
"Old man, you still want to disturb my young master? Do you think I, the God, am just a decoration?"
Garp exerted great effort to resist the current inside his body with domineering pressure.
His expression became very ugly.
After all, he was old and weak; his strength in all aspects was not comparable to his youth.
Facing Enel, a user of the Goro Goro no Mi with extremely fast speed and extremely powerful attacks, was truly somewhat difficult.
He had no strength left to trouble Luo Xing.
"Damn it!"
Garp could only suppress the grief over Chatun's death and observe other parts of the battlefield.
Sengoku, Huang Yuan, Aokiji, and CP0 were all tied up by their respective opponents and could not break free.
Meanwhile, on the Beasts Pirates side, the massive warship Saint Juan Wolf was wreaking havoc on the Navy warships.
Wolf's size was too huge; he could easily trigger tsunami-level waves and effortlessly overturned more than a dozen warships.
Moon Hunter Catarina Devon, the Evil King, and the Great Wine Barrel also joined the action of destroying warships.
If this continued, the Navy's dozens of warships would be completely destroyed before long!
203, Zoro's Nine-Sword Style · Asura · Draw Sword · Play of the Dead! Peach Rabbit was stunned.
It wasn't just warships being sunk; the war between the fifty thousand Marines and the criminal and zombie legions was also not optimistic.
Although the Marines held a numerical advantage, the enemies were all like monsters.
They fought with ferocious momentum, fearless of death; one of them was worth ten Marine soldiers!
Kozuki Steel Bone roughly calculated that the Marine casualties so far must have already exceeded ten thousand!
The carnage was unprecedented in the world, a veritable bloody meat grinder.
While fending off Enel's Lei Ting attacks, Kozuki Steel Bone shouted loudly at Sengoku not far away:
"Sengoku, this won't work. Do you have any good ideas?"
Sengoku was currently entangled with the Sea Knight Jinbe.
Strictly speaking, his strength still surpassed that of Jinbe, who had eaten a Dragon-level Monster Cell.
After all, his Zoan-type, Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Buddha Form, combined offense and defense, with vitality and recovery power that were both astonishing.
However.
This was the Great Sea, the home ground of the Fish-Men; Devil Fruit users here would face severe restrictions.
Jinbe dove directly into the seabed, occasionally hurling powerful sea current attacks at Sengoku.
Sengoku could only passively block or counterattack Jinbe with shockwaves.
But Jinbe continued to dive deeper into the seabed; no matter how strong Sengoku's shockwaves were, they could not reach the depths of the ocean floor.
Sengoku was somewhat furious, utterly unable to catch Jinbe.
Of course,
Sengoku could also ignore Jinbe and go help others defeat their opponents.
But if he did that, Jinbe would be free to attack the Marine warships without restraint.
Jinbe, who could control sea currents, could destroy warships faster than Saint Juan Wolf.
If they truly ignored Jinbe, within a Yishiban Society, all the warships would be sunk.
By then, the Marine side would have nowhere left to stand.
Sengoku, utterly helpless, could only continue to be entangled with Jinbe like this.
Hearing Kozuki Steel Bone's anxious voice at this moment, he grew even more depressed and agitated.
If he had a good idea, he would have spoken up long ago; why would he wait for Kozuki Steel Bone to ask?
Sengoku replied with a stern face:
"Fleet Admiral Kozuki, the best course of action right now is to call the Five Elders and have the Jiezhengfu Sect send more troops to support us!"
Kozuki Steel Bone's expression turned awkward for a moment.
Where could the Jiezhengfu Sect possibly find extra troops now?
It wasn't that the Jiezhengfu Sect had only these fifty thousand soldiers left in total; rather, to maintain the Celestial Dragons' rule, most of the government's forces were stationed across the Great Sea.
Gathering these troops would require a great deal of time; it was definitely impossible within a Yishiban Society.
Kozuki Steel Bone then thought of something else,
