Chapter 99: Reinforcements arrive! The unbalanced battlefield!
"Ha~~~"
"Ha~~~"
The three of them were all panting heavily.
Fifteen minutes!
It had only been fifteen minutes.
But!
In this short amount of time, the three of them were already covered in scars, making them look extremely miserable and battered.
"It's over!"
Snow spoke indifferently, his eyes devoid of any emotion, and even more so, devoid of any guilt toward Locke. That was already a thing of the past; he had let Locke go, but now! He had to be responsible for his duty.
Just at this moment...
Splash~~~
Splash~~~
Along with the sound of crashing waves, a heroic voice reached everyone's ears.
"Gurararara~~~"
"As a dignified Navy Admiral, are you actually attacking three brats?"
"Murakumogiri: Sky-Quaking Slash!"
Whitebeard: Edward Newgate was already standing on the bow of his pirate ship, speeding toward them. His speed was incredibly fast. With a deep leap, his tall figure held the Murakumogiri and brought it down in a slash from above. The astonishing power of the Murakumogiri, combined with the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, seemed as if it would swallow everything whole.
It was truly too astonishing; the terrifying slash smashed down directly.
"Die!"
Facing this strike from Newgate, Snow did not dare to be the least bit careless. He spread his hands, and his whole body transformed into a pure white cloud, which was instantly covered in pitch-black Armament Haki.
"Cloud Giant!"
A massive cloud giant emerged and met Newgate's strike.
BOOM!!!
Two top-tier powerhouses collided with a violent roar. In an instant, it felt as if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was splitting; it seemed as if the world between heaven and earth was about to be destroyed.
Newgate was also an Emperor-level powerhouse. Although! Newgate's age right now wasn't too great, only around thirty years old, but! This was already completely sufficient.
Based on Newgate's strength, entering the Emperor-level meant that even when facing these older-generation powerhouses, he was not the least bit inferior.
"Hoo~~~"
Kaido let out a long breath and said weakly: "Saved!"
"Yeah!" Locke wiped the sweat from his forehead and said just as weakly: "To be precise, it should be called surviving."
"Although!"
"We already knew about Whitebeard's support."
"But!"
"If he had been even a little bit slower, we probably would have died."
That's right!
Locke, Kaido, and Snake were not idiots challenging him; the three of them knew that not only did the Navy have support, but they had support on their side as well. Previously, the other officers were away for various reasons.
And Newgate had chased after them right after leaving that side.
Therefore!
It was precisely because they had support that they chose to attack.
Otherwise?!
Hehehe~~~
I'm not joking!
Although the three of them were all teenage monsters, it didn't mean they were idiots! They were facing top-tier powerhouses of this sea, real-deal Emperor-level powerhouses!
And facing such powerhouses, good heavens! The three of them were going to challenge them as if they didn't want to live?
Stop kidding!
It would purely be like a joke. Trying to succeed in such a battle was simply like courting death; it was an unrealistic thing.
Precisely because of this!
The three of them were purely testing to see just how massive the gap was between themselves and true Emperor-level powerhouses like Snow.
Anyway, with Newgate's support, there wouldn't be any problems.
Facts proved!
The situation of the three was controlled quite well.
"Then..."
"Next!"
"Let's continue the mission!"
"Yeah!"
The three of them stretched their muscles slightly, preparing to continue the mission. This wasn't a joke, but a solid fact; it was time to start.
Destroy the entire G3 Branch!
I'm not joking!
When Snow and Zephyr, these two Emperor-level powerhouses on the Navy side, were blocked, the entire battlefield had actually begun to gradually collapse toward the Navy side. After all! Although the G3 Branch had lost about 1,500 people, the remaining 1,500 or so elites were still extremely terrifying in strength.
Precisely because of this!
As long as one wasn't an idiot, everyone knew what the result would be.
It's just that!
Now that Locke, Kaido, and Snake, these three monsters, had freed up their hands! Then! The result would be completely different, or even say, entirely unlike before. The gap in strength was immediately displayed; this was no longer a battle on the same level.
This is the peculiarity of war on this sea!
Numbers!
Elites!
They were never the core that determined the battle; what was needed were powerhouses.
When a powerhouse of a completely OB level appeared on the battlefield of both sides, then! This war was actually already doomed. I'm not joking; does a war of this level even need more words?
Obviously!
This was a doomed matter; the strength was right there before their eyes.
"Hehehe~~~"
Lei Ounai had a smile on her lips and teased interestingly: "Little rabbit, it looks like you've lost!"
"Lost..."
Gion murmured these two words, her expression very solemn. She looked around, but she had to admit that it was indeed the case!
After all!
The facts were just like that; everything was a result right before their eyes. There was no way around it! The situation of everyone was a result right before their eyes. You don't want to admit it? Sorry! It was still a meaningless thing, even if you didn't want to admit it.
But it still had to be admitted. ===== CHAPTER 101 =====
