Chapter 157: The Runaway Saint Nasu Shurou

The battle resumed on the other side,

the enraged Kizaru, relying on his speed advantage, fought a stalemate with the equally flight-capable Golden Lion.

Mihawk, now freed, hovered above on a bamboo dragonfly, glanced at the situation of each battlefield, and swung his blade to strike Garling Saint.

Though Garling Saint is called the slowdown at God Valley, he is only a slowdown for Rocks.

Try swapping in the Runaway King?

Garling Saint could chop the Runaway King into mince.

Without Rocks' strength, facing Garling Saint, Kuma and Yuzhi Xiliu were struggling desperately.

Had it not been for the Bar-Bar Fruit and the Teleport Fruit, with their innate strength defying heaven, perhaps the two would have already fallen.

Fortunately, with Mihawk joining in, the offense and defense instantly reversed, leaving Garling Saint suffering unbearably.

Three days prior.

Garling Saint was merely curious about Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen and was dragged in by Nasu Shurou Saint in a confused state to lend support.

They said there was a great merit to be gained.

Who would have thought that Admiral Akainu of the Marines fell first, had his eyes gouged out by Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, beaten to the brink of death, and now bled so much.

It looked like he was about to die.

As the only two existences on the Marine and World Government side possessing Conqueror's Haki, Sengoku and Garp had no choice but to confront Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen.

Attempting to use Conqueror's Haki to jointly break through Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen's Conqueror's Haki defense.

This caused Kizaru to hold off the Golden Lion, thereby freeing Mihawk to turn and begin besieging Garling Saint.

Damn it, Nasu Shurou Saint is over there too; you can't bully people like this.

In reality, Nasu Shurou Saint was suffering just as unbearably at this moment.

Silas, as the vice-captain of the Luo Jie Pirates and a top-tier master of all three types of Haki, possessed a Conqueror's Haki coating that perfectly countered immortality.

Nasu Shurou Saint wanted to call for help but had absolutely no time to spare.

At first, the Den Den Mushi buzzed in his pocket, but later it was directly knocked unconscious by the Conqueror's Haki of Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen and Silas.

Moreover, Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen trapped Marineford with a Thunder Cage, preventing the Marines attempting to encircle it in the Marineford waters from entering.

The Marines from Headquarters had all turned into blood mud.

Nasu Shurou Saint admitted that in his entire life, he had never fought such a frustrating battle.

Originally a sure-win situation, but due to the idiot teammates defending Mary Geoise—Satan Saint and the other three, along with the rest of the God Knights—Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen managed to kidnap a hundred Celestial Dragons and Saint Elaine.

Although Akainu made an emergency decision, ordering all Marines to attack, it was utterly useless.

Twenty-five Marine Vice Admirals and fifty thousand elite Marines fell asleep the moment they faced Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen's Conqueror's Haki, not lasting even three seconds.

Damn it, someone is hacking.

How do we fight?

Satan Saint, you idiot, if you can't reach me, couldn't you send someone to check on Marineford?

While Nasu Shurou Saint was distracted, he was hit by Silas's flying slash, a great swordsman technique fusing Conqueror's Haki coating and Armament Haki Flowing Cherry Blossom, causing black smoke to immediately rise from his chest.

"Immortality, kowai na."

What a terrifying sentence,

Saint Saint Saiwen used to say it often on Luo Jie's ship; back then Silas didn't think it was strange at all, until he later met Kizaru.

Making Silas strangely feel:

Is it that anyone who eats a fast Devil Fruit will say "kowai na"?

And now, hearing "kowai na" spoken truly, Silas suddenly understood why Saint Saint Saiwen and Kizaru both liked saying this sentence.

Because it really feels good.

Clearly holding a massive advantage, yet still saying such a teasing line, delivering a double blow of mental and physical damage to the enemy.

Silas was soaring with joy, while Nasu Shurou Saint was both annoyed and depressed, wishing he could just retreat on all four legs.

Although the outcome wasn't fully decided, Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen's words on how to awaken Conqueror's Haki had very likely already spread.

This is the greatest harm to the World Government.

Henceforth on this Grand Line, the Celestial Dragons will become consumables for one after another of the ambitious, attempting to awaken Conqueror's Haki.

After all, Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen used the heads of twenty Celestial Dragons to successfully make three crew members awaken Conqueror's Haki, making Nasu Shurou Saint's heart itch.

He wished he could return to Mary Geoise to try it personally.

Had it not been for the few members of the Morning Star Pirates participating, each a master of Conqueror's Haki coating, they would not have been so passive.

Suddenly, the momentum of three clashing Conqueror's Hakis startled everyone currently fighting.

Garp and Sengoku were seen combining their strength, charging Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen with Conqueror's Haki, while Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen stood immovable, his red-black Haki momentum even stronger.

Holding his own against two.

The three waves clashed wildly; Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen's Conqueror's Haki held a clear advantage, wildly crushing the momentum of Garp and Sengoku.

This scene further solidified Nasu Shurou Saint's resolve to flee immediately.

No, not flee.

But to find a place undisturbed by others, quickly call Satan Saint, that idiot, to request reinforcements,

for only with the arrival of Imu-sama does the World Government and the Marines have a chance to win.

Otherwise, although the top Marine combatants won't all perish immediately, once Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen frees his hands, he will surely deal with them one by one.

Satan Saint, you idiot.

This matter is not over.

Just now, Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen used the ability of the Magma Fruit; Nasu Shurou Saint witnessed it with his own eyes, and the Age-Age Fruit was precisely what Satan Saint gave to Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen.

I must report this to Imu-sama; Satan Saint is an insider planted by Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen within the World Government.

If not for this, how could they have successively offered the Teleportation Fruit, the Sweet-Sweet Fruit, and the Age-Age Fruit?

Saint Saturn even told them the Age-Age Fruit was trash. Trash your ass! It can even simulate Sakazuki's Magma-Magma Fruit.

If it can even simulate the Magma-Magma Fruit, the strongest Natural-type attack, what more is needed to be considered powerful?

Must it simulate the ability of my lord Imu for you, Saint Saturn, to call it strong?

Also, why can Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen consume two Devil Fruits at the same time?

All of this must be reported to my lord Imu.

Thinking this, Saint Nasurao slashed a sword with all his might to gain leverage and leap into the air, then, without looking back, kicked off four horse-bone legs and fled directly.

"Nani?!" Lei Li's face was completely bewildered.

He never expected Saint Nasurao to flee the battlefield; the opponent possessed an immortal body.

Lei Li originally wanted to chase Saint Nasurao, but upon sensing that Kuzan was pressing Master Tenghu, he had to raise his rapier and charge toward Kuzan.

"Mr. Tenghu, I am here to aid you."

If nothing unexpected happens, the Navy's defeat is already unmistakably revealed.

Precisely because of this, Kuzan was absolutely burning with rage, yet Master Tenghu also did not want Kuzan to affect the battles of the other companions, so he too ignited the entire field with his fury.

The opponent's abnormality made Master Tenghu and Kuzan realize simultaneously—

During the Ohara Buster Call, the opponent held back.

"Mr. Tenghu, you are a man of benevolence and righteousness."

"Alas, you serve bandits."

Kuzan pointed to the rear of the battlefield, where the Navy corpses had been chopped into bloody mud by several Great Swordsmen of the Morning Star Pirates.

"Is this what you wish to see?"

Master Tenghu mourned silently for two seconds.

"Mr. Kuzan, I have reasons I cannot but act; this is the captain's order."

To liberate all slaves, to ensure everyone eats their fill, and for the day when the people reign supreme, Master Tenghu swears to uphold the captain's every resolution with his life.

Until he dies fighting for his dream.

Kuzan exhaled a breath of cold air, sensed Lei Li attacking with his rapier, and could only continue to meet the assault.

Fortunately, Sengoku only sent fifty thousand Navy elites, twenty-five Admirals, and hundreds of officers to fight, rather than throwing all forces into the fray.

Otherwise, the Navy would be beaten into extinction.

And Saint Nasurao's battlefield desertion directly refreshed Kuzan's understanding of the World Government's highest officials.

The Celestial Dragons... indeed deserve to die.

Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen also deserves to die.

But now that the Navy's defeat is unmistakably revealed, does the Navy still have any hope of winning?
