One Piece Superman One Piece World

A naval battle is not simply a test of the strength of the two sides.

What they are actually competing for is who is better adapted to naval warfare.

Compared to the huge fleets of Satan Saint and Borsalino, the lineup structure of Mihawk and his three companions is more flexible.

Mihawk is a simple swordsman who also masters floating skills like Moon Step. Even if he is accidentally knocked into the deep sea by his opponent, it will not affect his combat effectiveness at all.

Although Abel is a special ability user, the devil fruit he ate gave him the ability to fly, which gave him a natural advantage in fighting at sea.

Although Xiong cannot fly and is also a person with special abilities, his abilities allow him to cope with a variety of complex environments. In such sea battles, he does not need to control his own strength.

Compared to the new navy that can do whatever they want, Saint Satan and Borsalino, who lead a large fleet, are much more restrained. Saint Satan's combat power is actually very strong, but such a combat environment makes it impossible for him to fully exert his strength.

Although Borsalino's abilities are adaptable to naval warfare, the naval subordinates here will actually affect his performance.

Naturally, this point was easily grasped by several people in the new navy.

"call out!"

Just as Saint Satan was trying hard to think of ways to break the impasse, a very subtle sound suddenly came from the air.

A huge figure suddenly appeared behind Saint Satan, and the huge shadow directly enveloped Saint Satan.

"!!!"

Saint Satan turned around suddenly, and the bear's huge fist was already flying towards his head.

"Boom!!!!"

A solid punch hit Saint Satan directly in the face, and the huge force even deformed Saint Satan's face.

Xiong was a very gentle person, but the moment he recognized the identities of the Five Elder Stars of Satan, rage flashed in his eyes, and the hatred buried deep in his heart completely erupted at this moment.

The resentment of his parents' tragic death at the hands of the Celestial Dragons; the various hardships he endured in his childhood; and the anxiety Ginny felt when she was abducted by the World Government.

At this moment, it turned into indignation, which was vented towards Saint Satan.

A muffled sound was heard on the deck of the warship. Saint Satan was not knocked away by the bear under this heavy blow. Instead, his feet were rooted on the deck. The powerful armed color domineering extended out, strengthening the deck under his feet, allowing the floor to withstand this terrifying force.

Even under the protection of the Armament Haki, Satan Saint's cheek still showed obvious dents, and blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth, but Satan Saint just swayed his body slightly and stood firm.

He stared at the bear behind him with cold eyes, full of murderous intent.

"Um?!"

The strength of the Five Elders was somewhat beyond Xiong's expectations. He was determined to kill them with this attack. Even if he couldn't kill Saint Satan on the spot, he would still punch him into the sea.

But what surprised Xiong was that the Five Elders actually managed to hold on with their bodies.

The opponent's strength is even beyond that of the bear.

"Bartholomew Bear!"

"Not only the Lunaria clan, but also the Bakanni clan are surrounding Tsugikoku Yoshiichi?!"

"The New Navy really can't tolerate people like you!"

"Let's clip Tsugikoku Yoriichi's wings right here."

Although Saint Satan had blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, the toughness in his words was clearly revealed at this moment.

A cold atmosphere lingered on the deck. Xiong seemed to be aware of it and punched Saint Satan in the abdomen, trying to knock the man down.

"Snapped!"

But at this time, Saint Satan was already fully alert.

A big hand slapped out quickly, and Saint Satan's palm directly blocked the bear's fist. A violent wind swept across the deck. Just when the bear and Saint Satan were in a stalemate, a roar suddenly sounded on the deck behind the bear.

"Die, rebels!"

Lieutenant Admiral Maynard, the burly, dark-skinned commander of the warship, grabbed a machete in both hands, jumped out from behind the bear, roared, and slashed at the bear's head with the machete.

Maynard's strike was so powerful that before the machete even touched the bear, the bear could already feel a sharp gust of wind blowing from behind.

However, facing Maynard's attack, Xiong didn't even look back at the other party. He quickly changed his moves, and the fist that hit Satan Saint's face was quickly caught on Satan Saint's forehead, and slammed down to the deck.

Saint Satan tried to resist, but the moment he raised his hand, a strong shock wave suddenly pierced through his eardrum. The severe pain and strong dizziness made Saint Satan's mind go blank. Suddenly, he found that he had been knocked over by the bear, and his head hit the deck heavily, making a big hole.

However, Lieutenant General Maynard's fierce attack on the bear's head was blocked at the moment when it was about to hit the bear.

Abel had fallen from the air without anyone noticing, and stood behind the bear, using his sword to block Maynard's attack.

The crisp sound of the blades colliding was drowned out by the loud noise of Satan Saint knocking the ground, and the strong airflow swept the wooden debris and stirred it in all directions.

Most of the sailors on the ship had no idea what was happening. In the strong wind, they could only cover their eyes with their hands, trying to stand firm to avoid being blown away.

"Satan Saint!"

Maynard's pupils shrank when he saw this scene, and Abel seized the opportunity when he was distracted. The next moment when Abel blocked the long knife in his hand, Maynard saw the knife flashing in front of his eyes, and hot blood spurted out from his chest. With severe pain, Maynard subconsciously put away the knife and flew back.

Abel had already cut a horrific wound nearly half a meter long on Maynard's chest, with the skin and flesh turned inside out and blood gushing out of the wound.

In just a few seconds, a strong feeling of weakness came from Maynard's body. His dark face turned pale at this moment. His burly body swayed slightly, and he fell directly on his back into a pool of blood, his life or death unknown.

The sailors on the deck saw their commander being chopped to the ground by the enemy. After a brief moment of shock, their anger overcame their fear.

At the roar of a young sailor, the sailors on the deck responded one after another, roaring and rushing towards Abel and Xiong fearlessly.

"Kill them both and avenge Lieutenant General Maynard!"

"kill!"

Looking at the attacking navy, Abel's face turned cold and he tightened the long sword in his hand. The flames behind him made a loud bang. The next moment, Abel's figure turned into a stream of light and flew directly through the navy's formation. Countless navy soldiers screamed and fell in a pool of blood, and Abel cut a bloody path for them.

At this time, Xiong had completely handed his back to his comrade-in-arms. He grabbed Satan Saint's hair, stared at the other party's murderous eyes, and swung his fist towards Satan Saint's face again.

"Asshole, are you kidding me?!"

The extremely insulting attack made Saint Satan furious. He let out a loud roar, and the terrifying domineering aura directly dissipated from Saint Satan's body.

As the bear punched down, the scepter in Saint Satan's hand suddenly blocked his face.

"clang!!"

A loud bang sounded on the deck, and under the domineering power, the bear's attack was blocked by Saint Satan.

Saint Satan's body began to change rapidly. A sharp spider leg appeared directly on the bear's vest and fell rapidly towards the bear's heart.

The bear noticed something, patted his thigh lightly with his left hand, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the sight of Saint Satan.

The attack failed, and Saint Satan, who had transformed into a demon with human body and spider legs, stood up with a gloomy face, looked around, and anger surged in his chest.

"Boom!!!!" At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the hull of the warship where Saint Satan landed. A strong shock wave was emitted directly from the sea and hit the hull of the warship.

The terrifying pressure directly deformed the central area of ​​the ship, and the power of the shock wave was not reduced. In just a moment, this hundred-meter-long warship was actually broken in half by the shock wave.

The deck began to shake violently. Many sailors were not prepared for this sudden attack and were shaken off the deck and into the sea.

Saint Satan decisively abandoned the ship, bent his spider legs, and his huge body flew directly into the air, landing on a warship not far away.

"Wow—"

Seawater poured out of the cabin, and the warship, which was blown into two, began to sink rapidly. Maynard's adjutant reacted quickly. Before leaving, he picked up Maynard, who was lying in a pool of blood, and quickly left using the Moon Step without being drawn into the vortex formed by the sunken ship.

Although they escaped, the sailors on the ship were not so lucky. Even though the sailors who came to the New World with the ship were the elite among the elite, not all of them could escape from such a shipwreck.

On a warship not far away, Mihawk and Borsalino, who were fighting each other, also noticed something unusual in the distance. Borsalino paused for a moment, and Mihawk found an opportunity to slash Borsalino's arm, leaving a long bloody mark.

Fortunately, Borsalino was distracted for only a moment, and he dodged in time so the wound on his arm was not deep, otherwise, this moment of distraction would have cost him an arm.

When facing a "light swordsman" like Borsalino, Mihawk did not hold back at all.

Borsalino, who was criticized by Zephyr for the "Dependence Fruit", didn't know who influenced him. He has been training in physical skills in recent years. Even when facing a top swordsman like Mihawk, he is only slightly inferior.

However, with the help of the power of the devil fruit, Borsalino was able to fight against Mihawk. In a short period of time, it was impossible for the two to determine the winner.

But the strange thing is that Mihawk never used the terrifying slashing blow he had used before during the battle with Borsalino. Instead, he restrained his strength, trying to overwhelm Borsalino with his sword skills.

Under Mihawk's fierce attack, Borsalino had more defense than offense, and used the characteristics of the Pika Pika Nomi to maneuver. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to end the battle, and did not fully utilize the attack characteristics of the Pika Pika Nomi.

These two people seemed to have a special tacit understanding. Although the battle was fierce, to outsiders, it was far less grand and dangerous than the other battlefield.

"Are you targeting the Five Elders?"

"Are you the only three who attacked us?"

"Will Tsugikoku Yuichi not come in person?"

Borsalino turned his attention back to his own battlefield, and asked while fending off Mihawk's attack.

Judging from his relaxed tone, the battle with Mihawk had not yet exhausted him.

"The goal? Originally, it was just to drive you away."

“But now, the goal is different.”

While Mihawk was fighting Borsalino, he was also keeping a close eye on Kuma, Abel and others with his Observation Haki. Like Borsalino, he also had some strength left.

Although the attack was extremely fierce, it was just the result of his careless move.

"Yeah."

Borsalino murmured softly, with a twinkle in his eyes.

Tsugikoku Yoriichi probably didn't know that the Five Elders had left the Holy Land, otherwise, he would have led the team to kill them personally. The new navy also discovered the trace of Saint Satan by accident.

"With your two companions, I'm afraid they can't do anything to Saint Satan..."

Borsalino had a half-smile on his face, and suddenly he sighed.

No one knew what Borsalino was thinking at this moment, and Mihawk, who was fighting with him, narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.

Although he didn't know what Borsalino was thinking, as a great swordsman, he could clearly feel Borsalino's negative and lazy emotions the moment he fought with Borsalino.

The admiral in front of me.
interesting.

Another battlefield.

Saint Satan, who had just escaped from the Maynard battleship, had just landed when he heard a sharp scream from the air.

Saint Satan raised his scepter without thinking and blocked it in front of him. The next moment, Abel's swooping figure was forcibly repelled by Saint Satan.

However, the deck under Saint Satan's feet, which had been strengthened by his Armament Haki, suddenly cracked and could not withstand such a strong attack.

The sailors on the ship could also feel that the ship began to shake violently, and the wind and waves on the sea became noticeably stronger.

Saint Satan, who blocked Abel's attack, felt a familiar breath appearing behind him. He slowly turned his head with a gloomy expression and looked at the bear staring at him coldly from behind. Saint Satan couldn't help feeling annoyed.

One in the air and one on the deck.

Abel and Xiong sandwiched the devil-like Saint Satan in the middle, both of them staring at the "supreme power in the world" with eager eyes.

The vice admirals of the navy had no way of intervening in a battle of this magnitude.

When the sailors on the ship saw the two engines confronting each other, they quickly left the warship on a lifeboat under the orders of their superiors. While evacuating, they also rescued their comrades who had fallen into the sea.

The naval commanders were well aware that they and their subordinates could not help.

Moreover, the lieutenant generals brought by Borsalino were all veterans, and some of them had even witnessed Saint Satan taking action. So they tactfully withdrew at this moment, leaving the warships empty to serve as battlefields.

Mihawk and his men who were sent to intercept the World Government and the Navy have already engaged the enemy.

The fleet led by Ji Kuniyoshi was also heading towards Fishman Island as planned.

Although the sea conditions in the New World were bad, they were safe along the way. Apart from encountering some ignorant pirates, Yuichi and his crew did not encounter any other enemies.

"Bulu Bulu——"

At the bow of the warship Aurora, Yoshiichi Tsugikuni, who was enjoying the warm evening sea breeze, suddenly felt a vibration in his chest.

He took out a Den Den Mushi, hesitated for a moment, and picked up the receiver:

"The fleet led by Kizaru has been destroyed by Mihawk and his men. They have sustained some injuries and are currently resting and recovering on Thunder God Island."

"Something unexpected happened. On this mission, one of the Five Elder Stars, Sartan, also joined Marinford."

"Kizaru and Satan protected a ship and escaped."

A laughing voice came from the Den Den Mushi, and upon hearing that, Jigoku Yuan's lips curled slightly:

"well done."

"Let Mihawk and the others rest. I will take them with me when I return to Bankoku."

"The Five Elders? Humph, they are really active."

"But, it won't last long!"

Mihawk and the others were growing very fast, and although the ambush failed this time, the mission of expelling them was successfully completed.

After accumulating more strength, their new navy will be able to reach the holy land again!
