One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 716: Escape! (Monkey God! Start!)

"What's going on! What's going on?"

When the captain of the naval ship that came to the rescue saw the mess on the sea, he couldn't help but murmur.

"Captain, don't worry about it, save people first!"

The deputy captain looked at the naval soldiers struggling to survive on the sea and immediately reminded them.

"Yes, yes, yes, hurry! Rescue them! Then send out a scout ship to investigate the surroundings to find out what's going on! Retreat immediately after rescuing them! Don't stay too long, there may be enemy cadres here. Also, notify the headquarters immediately and report the situation. Hurry, hurry, hurry, act!"

The captain of the rescue ship was also a veteran of many battles. Although he was a little panicked at the beginning, he immediately reacted after being reminded by his subordinates and issued orders in an orderly manner.

The crew members who received the order immediately began to rescue people. However, when the rescued navy members reported the situation they encountered here, the rescue ship and the headquarters in the rear all felt that the world had changed.

Artillery attacking beyond visual range at a terrifying speed, attacks launched from underwater, machines flying in the sky, all of these challenged their cognition.

"Those things are definitely not done by the power of the fruit, absolutely not!"

The staff officer of the headquarters said as he punched the table.

"No matter what, return home as soon as possible. Don't stay there any longer. We can't guarantee that the enemy hasn't gone far. Now the Lieutenant General and Major General are fighting on the island. There are not enough strong men to send to you. Come back quickly!"

The staff officer of the headquarters immediately gave the order.

"Yes! We will be back as soon as possible!"

The rescue ship reported back, but they did not hang up the phone. Instead, they kept communicating in order to prevent any further situations from happening here. Although this would most likely cause problems with the Den Den Mushi, now was not the time to care about these things. The war was already heading in a direction that they could not understand at all.

"Report! Notice from the Marshal! Everyone get ready! Be prepared to retreat at any time!"

Just as the staff officers were silent, a messenger suddenly ran in and said.

"What? What's going on?"

The chief of staff snatched the document from the messenger in surprise and began to read it. The other staff officers immediately gathered around and wanted to know what had happened.

"Marshal Zhan Guo and his men have been defeated. To be more precise, the situation that occurred on the Five Elder Stars' ship caused problems on the entire battlefield. They are now retreating, and we must provide support immediately."

The chief of staff looked gloomy. This news came too suddenly. They were unstoppable at the beginning, but they were defeated only half a day later. This was true for both the battle between high-powered forces and the sudden naval battle. It was too sudden, so sudden that they had no time to react. "Quick! Notify all fleet members to build a pontoon bridge as quickly as possible! Bring everyone back! No room for error! What the hell is this!"

While the headquarters was having a headache, the navy on the island was in big trouble because Lily's suppression and exile of Nasujuro Saint directly led to a huge tilt in the balance of combat power. Afterwards, Lily found Kaido, who was still fighting head-on with Satan Saint at this time. There was no superior-subordinate relationship between Kaido and Satan Saint based on the ability of the fruit, which resulted in that in the battle between the two, although Kaido had a certain advantage, he could not determine the outcome as quickly as Lily.

However, Lily's arrival immediately shocked Satan. He didn't expect Nasujuro to be defeated so quickly. After all, Nasujuro was better at fighting than him, but he failed to block Lily's attack. It seemed that the threat of Lily needed to be increased again! But now was not the time to think about these things. At this moment, Satan had already started thinking about how to escape. It was difficult for him to deal with Kaido. If there was another Lily, he might be seriously injured if he was not careful. It was a real serious injury. Even if all the navy here died, it didn't matter to him, but he himself must not be seriously injured, otherwise, it would affect the awakening of that adult.

With this thought in mind, Saint Satan suddenly began to attack frantically. Dark purple venom bullets kept spitting out of his mouth. The dense venom swept over like a wave, directly covering everything in front of him. A sweet and fishy smell came wherever it passed.

However, Kaido and Lily were not pushovers either. Lily was covered in flames and turned into a veritable fireball. Under the cover of this scarlet flame, the venom that was like a wave could not get close to her at all. Kaido was similar, but he used bad wind. Under the cutting of the wind blade, a hole instantly appeared in the venom wave, and Kaido took the opportunity to drill through it. As a result, the figure of Saint Satan could no longer be seen behind the venom wave. Only a black pentagram array remained in its place, emitting a hint of ominous breath.

"Ran?"

The instant disappearance of Saint Satan made Kaido a little unsure. Did this guy really run away or hide somewhere? And what was this thing on the ground?
"He should have left. The same thing happened to Nasujuro before. After enduring my attack, he suddenly disappeared. He also left this thing behind. It could be the ability of a Devil Fruit user, something like teleportation. But why is it only effective against the Five Elders?"

Lily looked at the magic circle on the ground, held her chin up and thought for a while before saying.

"Who cares? Let's go check on the three of them. Let's end this war quickly. We have won this war. Uh-huh!"

Kaido said with a smile while carrying the Eight Precepts.

"Victory is certain, but we haven't fully achieved our goal. We originally wanted to force the World Government or the Navy to reveal their trump cards, but now it seems that their goal is just to fight a battle to test the waters. These guys from the World Government are really patient."

Lily curled her lips and said unsatisfactorily that after all, among the several goals of this battle, the most important one was not achieved, which was really hard to be satisfied with.

"Oh, blah, blah, blah! Maybe those guys don't have any trump cards. Uh, that doesn't seem likely. Anyway, it's good to have fewer deaths. Have you checked the situation on the front battlefield?"

After Kaido told a joke that he himself didn't believe, he simply chose to change the subject.

"I went there. Jin, Dai, and Katakuri were fighting fiercely with the three new generations of the navy. It's hard to say who has the upper hand for now, but they're almost equal. As for Quinn, the Azure Dragon and the Suzaku were all deployed. Although they didn't use any special weapons, they did make an appearance."

"What! That bastard Quinn! I wasn't on board when my Azure Dragon was unveiled! This is really too much! I'm the real captain of the Azure Dragon! I should have made my debut with the Azure Dragon!"

Kaido's focus is a little bit off. To put it simply, in Kaido's view, the Azure Dragon is his own vehicle. He has always wanted to drive the Azure Dragon to make a perfect appearance in front of everyone, but due to various reasons, the Azure Dragon's appearance has been later and later. As a result, this time he finally got the chance, but that bastard Quinn got there first! It's so infuriating! No! He's going to beat Quinn up!
"It's up to you, but it's better to end this war quickly. If we don't achieve our desired goal, there's no need to drag it on."

Lily shrugged, and after she finished speaking, she transformed into Suzaku again and flew towards the direction where Big Mom was. Kaido could only mutter a few words helplessly and head towards Shiki. He was not worried about Whitebeard at all. Although the old guy Garp was indeed very strong, Whitebeard's strength was also obvious to all. Compared to Whitebeard, the situation on Golden Lion's side might be a little troublesome. The defense of that guy Sengoku's golden skin was terrifyingly high.
