Chapter 241

206、Navy suffers crushing defeat! Kid Alliance forms, seeking to join the Beasts Pirates' Apu!

The Navy began a massive retreat.

Luo Xing's side would not let the Navy retreat unharmed—they launched a full-scale assault.

In the sky, Jin's Lightning Wyvern and Fuzi Fu's Sabertooth Tiger pursued them.

On the sea, Shiryu, Evil Government King, and Carterine Diamante sailed their ships, laughing wildly as they ordered the Navy and World Government cowards not to run.

Underwater, Sea Knight Jinpachi periodically unleashed massive ocean currents to harass the Navy's warships.

With enemies attacking from three sides, the Navy was overwhelmed; several more warships were destroyed, and the thousands of sailors aboard were all killed.

Admiral Sengoku erupted in rage, transforming into a Golden Buddha, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that directly clashed with the strongest foes.

He was, after all, a veteran top-tier powerhouse who had once fought alongside Luo Jie, Bai Huzi, and Golden Lion.

With his overwhelming power, he actually held back the assaults of Jin, Shiryu, Jinpachi, and others.

Sengoku, expending his strength without restraint to unleash his Buddha techniques, roared:

"You all retreat—I'll hold the rear!"

Gura Gura Koku also joined the rearguard.

Aokiji froze the sea with Ice Age, blocking the Beasts Pirates' ships and Jinpachi beneath the waves.

With all three top-tier powerhouses unleashing their full strength, they finally bought the Navy's warships enough time to withdraw.

The battle dragged on for several more hours before finally ending.

Gura Gura Koku and Sengoku led the shattered remnants back to Marineford.

They had set out with dozens of warships; now fewer than ten returned.

They had departed with fifty thousand troops; only slightly more than twenty thousand returned unharmed—the casualty rate reached half!

As for elite combat power: Chato was killed, Momonosuke captured, the CP0 boss severely wounded, and all other CP0 members annihilated!

The number of fallen Navy Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals was incalculable!

Undoubtedly,

this battle for the Shichibukai Islands was a total, utter defeat for the Navy and World Government—with catastrophic losses!

Every one of those who returned, except Huang Yuan, who yawned and went home to sleep, wore faces heavy with sorrow.

Admiral Aokiji sighed.

He had hoped to achieve Great Merit in this battle, to gain leverage in his rivalry with Akainu for the position of Fleet Admiral.

But the enemy was simply too strong; even with all his strength, his accomplishments remained minimal.

Sengoku rallied himself and said to Aokiji:

"Aokiji, you stay here to reorganize the troops and treat the wounded—I'm going to Mary Geoise."

After saying this,

he departed for the holy land Mary Geoise with Gura Gura Koku and the CP0 boss.

They were, of course, going to meet the Five Elders.

The CP0 boss wore a grim expression.

This crushing defeat meant he did not know what punishment awaited him.

Gura Gura Koku and Sengoku also wore heavy expressions.

But compared to the Five Elders' punishment, they feared the future global situation even more.

The Beasts Pirates grew ever more arrogant and aggressive.

The Navy and World Government suffered defeat after defeat, their authority crumbling.

The entire world was about to descend into chaos!

Their prediction was correct.

As the famed journalist Morgens immediately broadcast the battle reports from the Shichibukai Islands to every corner of the world,

countless people were stunned and terrified, while numerous ambitious warlords could no longer suppress their burning fervor.

New World.

A desolate, uninhabited island.

The captains of three notorious Super New World Pirates—Kid, Apu, and Hawkins—were gathered here.

On the table before them lay a newspaper.

Kid grinned with ambition:

"The Navy and World Government are becoming more useless by the day—they've lost all ability to control the world!"

"In this chaotic era, it's our perfect chance to make our names!"

Apu's eyes flickered with a strange light as he said:

"Kid, what's your plan?"

Kid answered without hesitation:

"I'm going to take down Red-Haired Shanks! You two—wanna join me?"

In the original timeline,

Kid first challenged Shanks, lost an arm to him, and then sought alliances with Apu and Hawkins.

But in this timeline,

he had witnessed the terrifying battle between Five Emperors Luo Xing and the Underworld King Lei Li at Shichibukai Islands.

He understood that his gap with Four Emperor-level power was still immense.

So this time, he did not act rashly—he planned to find allies and act together.

Hawkins held his tarot cards and cast a divination:

"Our odds of defeating the Red-Haired Pirates are now less than one in ten; far too low."

Kid said:

"Of course, we won't act yet. We must cultivate for a time and first master the use of Haki!"

In the New World, without Haki, one can hardly take a single step.

Any famous pirate could slaughter them.

Hawkins said:

"After we grow stronger, our odds will improve. I also heard the Red-Haired Pirates' first mate was killed by Kaido and Big Mom. Our success rate will be higher."

Clearly, Hawkins had agreed to join the alliance to subjugate the Red-Haired Pirates.

Kid then looked at Apoo:

"What about you, Apoo?"

Apoo grinned, chuckling, "Of course, I certainly have no objections..."

Kid was overjoyed; the Evil Alliance formed by three Supernovas was born right then.

But Kid and Hawkins would not know,

that although Apoo appeared unchanged on the surface, he had long since made other plans in his heart.

Apoo intended to defect to the Beasts Pirates; Kid and Hawkins were his offering to join the Beasts Pirates!

The sea at the entrance to the New World.

Three pirate ships met there.

Judging by the pirate ship emblems, they were the Mad Monk Urouge, the Gluttonous Woman Jewelry Bonney, and the Fei Gang Capone Bege.

Bege, with a cigar in his mouth, spoke first:

"The era has entered a chaotic climax that no one can stop; only true strong ones can stand firm within it!"

"What are your two plans?"

The Mad Monk Urouge said:

"I intend to challenge the Emperor Big Mom."

Bege's eyes flashed.

He too planned to strike at Big Mom Charlotte Linlin first; after all, he had heard that madwoman's intelligence was not great, so the success rate of bringing her down should be greater than for the other Emperors.

But the deep-thinking Bege did not tell Urouge this.

Letting Urouge test the depths of the Big Mom Pirates first was not bad either.

The Gluttonous Woman Bonney said:

"My business is none of your concern!"
