Chapter 213: The Balance Shattered Again
In the distant sky, a black dragon sped, with Sengoku standing on its back.
On the other side, a Quetzalcoatlus was also making its way, its speed no less than the black dragon's, carrying Marine Vice Admiral Zephyr.
Army General "White Ghost" was also flying, but his speed was much slower.
Both the CP0 Director-General and Army General "The Storm Dragon" took some time to bring along the nearest Strongman.
As for the others, bringing them along would be a waste of time; they might not even arrive by the time the War ended.
As it stands, they might still make it for the later stages of the Great Battle.
As for "White Ghost," it's purely up to luck.
A day passed just like that.
A day and a half had already gone by since the War began.
The slaughter grew increasingly fierce.
Underneath the seemingly evenly matched Battlefield, the scales were actually slowly tipping towards the Rocks Pirates due to their formidable strength.
In terms of battle experience, battle will, and the ferocity of combat, the Rocks Pirates held the Advantage.
The Slave rebellion further threw the Situation into chaos.
The War launched by the Rocks Pirates gave them a glimmer of hope for survival.
The Rocks Pirates had members of various races, and God Valley also had Slaves from various races.
These Slaves were successively rescued.
The World Government forces tried to stop them, and a chaotic Battle ensued.
Some Slaves had even lost the will to live, wanting only death and liberation.
But before dying, they also wanted to fight desperately, at least taking down one Celestial Dragon with them.
These Slaves, who had already resolved to die, were terrifying and would stop at nothing.
The high and mighty Celestial Dragons faced the counterattack of these Slaves.
To protect the Celestial Dragons, the Strongmen on the World Government's side had no choice but to free up their hands.
This gave the Rocks Pirates an opportunity.
Within that short time difference, they further gained the Advantage, eliminating those World Government Strongmen.
War is like this; one mistake can change the battle situation.
These Celestial Dragons, without a doubt, became their burden, and they had to be protected.
Especially in the eyes of the Strongmen belonging to various Families, protecting the life safety of their masters was more important than defeating the Rocks Pirates.
The orders of the World Government had never had anything to do with them.
This also led to some Strongmen on the World Government's side watching with cold eyes.
The Rocks Pirates also saw this Situation and tacitly did not interfere.
However, once these Strongmen made a move, the Celestial Dragons would become their primary target.
Anyway, more than half of these Celestial Dragons were already dead; killing a few more wouldn't be excessive.
Byrnndi World's overwhelming strength was completely Suppressing a World Government Strongman before him.
That Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit User of the Emperor Crocodile Devil Fruit.
.
.
his state could only be described with one word: "miserable"!
Since joining the Rocks Pirates, Byrnndi World's strength had become even more terrifying.
With the boost from the Moa Moa Fruit, providing all-around Advantage, this Strongman, cultivated by who knows which Family, was completely being beaten down.
That he could persist until now was entirely due to the powerful vitality granted by the Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit.
Last time, because he failed to protect a Celestial Dragon, he suffered severe punishment.
His appearance this time was solely to make up for his past mistakes.
But he hadn't expected the enemy he faced to be so terrifying.
"Momo: Hundredfold Speed!"
"Momo: Hundredfold Power!"
Byrnndi World's figure vanished into the air.
All that was felt was a blur before the eyes, and a terrifying fist came into view.
It smashed directly onto his head.
The next moment, Byrnndi World began a frantic assault.
Taking advantage of the opportunity before he could react, dozens of fists landed on his body in quick succession.
He struggled to resist but was unable to do so.
He wasn't as agile as Byrnndi World, and even his strength was weaker.
If he tried to transform into his full Beast Transformation form, his body's agility would decrease, turning him into a living target in front of Byrnndi World.
The members of the Byrnndi Pirates were also constantly fighting.
Although the number of Cadres was relatively small, each one possessed extraordinary strength.
Finally, half an hour later, the Emperor Crocodile Devil Fruit User died, beaten to death by Byrnndi World.
His Human-Beast Form slowly reverted to its original appearance, leaving behind only a bloody corpse.
With this, the Balance of the War was once again shattered.
"Captain World, go help Lyon."
A High-Ranking Cadre, panting, came before Byrnndi World and said, then immediately rejoined the Great Battle.
Simply eliminating one Top Tier Combatant was not enough.
On the Battlefield near the Red Line, three Top Tier Combatants of the World Government, in order to protect the Celestial Dragons and their assets, were being jointly surrounded and held back by numerous Cadres.
Several Cadres had already been forcefully knocked down.
Top Tier Combatants were indeed Top Tier Combatants.
If they were allowed to join the Battlefield, the Situation would quickly change.
And there was no telling when the World Government's reinforcements would arrive.
The World Government's strength was beyond imagination.
Many Strongmen were ones they had never encountered in previous Wars.
Now that they were suddenly exposed, who knew what other strength was hidden.
Having finally broken the stalemate, they had to seize this opportunity to quickly expand their Advantage.
"Understood."
Byrnndi World understood this point and immediately headed to the Battlefield where Lyon 'Death Gun' was located.
Many World Government Strongmen tried to stop him, but they were all held back by the Rocks Pirates' Cadres.
The Advantage in military strength was also constantly depleting the stamina of these Strongmen.
The War had already lasted for a day and a half, and the Rocks Pirates' Army of 200,000 had only suffered a quarter in Losses.
That is, 50,000.
It seemed like a lot, but in reality, they were just cannon fodder, fully serving their intended Role.
The Aura of War permeated the Battlefield.
Everyone had forgotten fear and continued to slaughter.
A portion of the Pirates were also taking advantage of the chaotic Battle to constantly sneak into the Celestial Dragons' Mansions, plundering the Celestial Dragons' Treasure.
Byrnndi World's arrival allowed Lyon to be freed up again.
He was the killing Weapon of the Rocks Pirates; the death of most high-end combat power was inseparable from him.
The Top Tier Combatant that Lyon was facing was quickly heavily injured under their combined surrounding.
After that, Lyon no longer paid attention, as Byrnndi World's strength was sufficient to kill him.
Fighting until now, his bullets had long been exhausted, and several of his guns were damaged.
For a Gunman, their Weapon was the most important thing.
Without bullets, it was like a tiger without teeth.
His Body Technique was powerful, its maximum power was achieved when matched with his Marksmanship.
In reality, at this level, it could only be considered ordinary and leaned towards technique.
As for him being constantly held back, he was no longer as threatening.
Although he still had the Penetration-Penetration Fruit Ability, his opponent was also a powerful Ability User.
Quickly arriving at a corner of a Mansion, Lyon picked up an iron box full of bullets and slung it onto his back.
When the War began, he had anticipated the scenario where his bullets would run out and had specifically placed backup bullet caches in several locations.
The hunting hour began again!
