NOVEL WEB Chapter 201: Chapter 201: One Against Two
G3 Fortress:
After identifying the pirates' target, the Navy concentrated its main forces here.
"Damn pirates, coming so quickly! This was supposed to be our war, but now it seems they're the ones launching the attack!" Sengoku lamented. Even as Fleet Admiral, he had to personally enter the battlefield this time.
The Navy needed time to mobilize forces from the Four Seas, but the pirates struck before reinforcements could arrive in the New World.
"The Navy currently fields 100,000 troops, with another 50,000 en route. The Army has 400,000, ready to be deployed from the Red Line," Vice Admiral Tsuru reported on their manpower.
"According to our intelligence, the pirates have 400,000 strong, with more joining from the New World and the Grand Line."
"Ugh!!!" Sengoku and the others were taken aback by Tsuru's report.
Rocks had once gathered the New World's pirates, launching an attack on a marine fortress. The numbers then were similar to now.
Rocks was dead, yet the New World's pirates rallied again under the Infinity and Flying Pirates, echoing Rocks' revival.
This new pirate alliance seemed stronger than Rocks' own, with powerful figures like Golden Lion, Whitebeard, and Li Yuan nearing Rocks' level.
Rocks was a lone powerhouse; now there were three nearly as strong.
Adding their crews' officers, the thought sent chills down the Navy's spine.
"Prepare for full-scale war. The pirates are coming!" Sengoku ordered decisively, maintaining morale.
A colossal island, twice the size of G3, approached G3 Island swiftly.
"Golden Lion!!" Sengoku saw Golden Lion on the island, ready to destroy it before it got closer.
But seeing not just Golden Lion, but also Li Yuan and numerous notorious pirates, he hesitated.
"Boom!!!"
The pirates' island collided with G3 Island, fusing them into a larger battleground.
"Hahaha, here's our battlefield! Attack, claim your Berries!" Li Yuan shouted, inciting his pirates to charge.
"Damn it, Li Yuan, stealing my lines again!"
"Gurararara, I'm not your subordinate, Li Yuan! Whitebeard Pirates, charge!"
"I'm a Silver Axe crew officer, don't command me! Attack!"
The battle erupted, tens of thousands of pirates storming forward, more disembarking from ships to join the fray.
"Boom!!!!"
Gunfire, clashing swords, screams, and cries filled the sky.
"All Navy and Army, attack!" Fleet Admiral Kong countered, rallying his forces.
"Mamamama, Sengoku, fight me!" Charlotte Linlin charged first, wielding Napoleon atop Zeus.
"Elbaf's Spear: Ikoku!"
Her shout unleashed a devastating shockwave towards Sengoku.
"Foolish woman!" Sengoku retorted, transforming into his massive Buddha form.
"Great Buddha Impact!"
With a push of his right hand, a powerful shockwave met Linlin's attack, the collision shaking the area for kilometers, forcing pirates to steer clear of the deadly aftermath.
"Gurararara, it's been a while, Garp! Take this!"
"Quake Blade!"
Whitebeard laughed, lunging at Garp, his supreme-grade naginata vibrating with seismic power.
If Garp dodged, the quake would kill a thousand marines behind him.
"Hmph, I'm not afraid of you, Whitebeard!"
Garp discarded his cape, his muscular chest exposed, Haki surging into his fist.
"Bone Fist!"
His blackened fist, infused with Armament and Conqueror's Haki, met Whitebeard's blade, blood-red lightning crackling, terrain collapsing, debris clearing a space for their duel.
"Hahaha, Z, let's fight!"
As Whitebeard charged, Violent King Brandon targeted Admiral Zephyr.
"Explosive Kill Fist!"
Brandon's muscles surged, closing in on Zephyr.
"Hmph, pirate, I'll bring you to justice!" Zephyr countered, his Haki-covered fist clashing with Brandon's.
Brandon, a Muscle Fruit user, excelled in combat, while Zephyr, rising through the ranks, became an admiral through mastery of martial arts and Haki.
Their battle was a fierce exchange of blows.
"Army General Hamadi Fisher, you escaped Baladi Kingdom, but not today!"
Li Yuan identified his target, Hamadi, a steam Logia user, aiming to end him.
"Explosive Step!"
Li Yuan dashed at Hamadi, his intentions clear.
"Sola, help me! I can't take him alone!"
Hamadi panicked as Li Yuan approached.
It wasn't cowardice; Li Yuan was simply terrifying.
His record of killing top fighters like Army General Kawaher, CP0 Deputy Chief Carlo Grosso, and CP0 Deputy Chief Segun Kormi was daunting.
Facing Li Yuan alone seemed suicidal to Hamadi.
Hearing Hamadi's plea, General Sola didn't refuse. As an ancient saber-toothed tiger user, he believed they could defeat Li Yuan together, even if it took time.
Li Yuan couldn't be as strong as Rocks, who once fought two admirals, leaving one dead and another injured.
"Tiger's Descent!"
In hybrid form, Sola lunged at Li Yuan, claws like swords.
"Hmph, both of you together is convenient. Saves me time!"
Li Yuan scoffed, withdrawing from Hamadi to focus on Sola's claws.
"Slash!!!"
His sword emitted three seamless intents and flowing Haki, cutting through Sola's claws.
"Heat Impact!!"
Hamadi, in steam form, propelled himself with steam, striking at Li Yuan with a hot punch.
Li Yuan repelled Sola, then turned his sword on Hamadi, slicing through the steam attack.
Seeing Li Yuan close in, Hamadi retreated, avoiding melee with the steam Logia's weakness.
"Life Return: Limb Normal Enhancement!"
"Explosive Step!"
Li Yuan pursued, enhancing his body to peak performance, swiftly closing on Hamadi.
"Three Elements Unity Secret: Conqueror's Infusion – Blood Dragon Sky Severing Slash!"
The sword, enveloped in Haki and blood-red dragon spirit, roared as it struck.
The overwhelming force slowed Hamadi's steam form.
"Heat-Cold Shockwave!!"
Hamadi, desperate, unleashed a mix of hot and cold steam, creating a shockwave.
Confident in his full-power attack, Hamadi hoped to at least stall Li Yuan.
"What!!"
But his shockwave barely delayed Li Yuan's strike, shattered by the dragon-like sword.
Hamadi instinctively blocked with Haki and steam, but the weakened slash still sent him flying, blood spilling from his mouth.
