I'm a big pirate, and you said I just went out to sea?

Chapter 181 The Fall of the Divine Knight Im!

"Monger!!!"

How could Lucas Saint, the commander-in-chief of the Knights of God, tolerate such blatant humiliation?

But you have to endure it even if you can't stand it!

With Grindelwald down, it meant he had no chance of getting support in the short term and could only be overwhelmed by Shimotsuki Ryoma.

Moreover, as time went by, the domineering aura surrounding Frost Moon Dragon Gate grew stronger and stronger.

Lucas Saint even felt a hint of fear.

He will die!

Since we can't rely on Glindwin, we'll have to look for someone else.

"Naval trash, hurry up and stop that damned samurai!"

"Where is the general? Where is the general?"

"Elephant Mountain, Portman, those two old giants can stop you?"

"Field St., Alison Palace, I need half a minute to recover!"

"It will only take half a minute!"

"."

The biggest difference between Armament Haki application and Conqueror's Haki entangling is that Armament Haki application only affects the recovery speed of the immortal body, but cannot completely prevent the immortal body from recovering.

But the Conqueror's Haki's Entanglement can achieve this.

Saint Lucas felt that as Shimotsuki Ryuma continued to leave wounds on his body, the amount of Extra Conqueror's Haki accumulating within him was increasing, and it was even beginning to affect his contract with that person.

Once the contract expires, it is equivalent to the breaking of his immortality.

Given his current injuries.

It's basically a dead end!
Fortunately, his Celestial Dragon status brought him great advantages. Even though he knew that the enemies chasing him were very strong, some vice admirals and rear admirals of the Navy still abandoned the enemies in front of them and chose to go to his rescue.

As a result, it was naturally cleaved in two by Shimotsuki Ryoma's sword.

Wano Country has been destroyed.

If Monger wasn't lying, then those who helped these world nobles were his enemies, and anyone who was his enemy was ruthless enough to be killed!
In a short time, the number of naval casualties increased noticeably.

Until a voice sounded.

"Damn it, aren't you a Celestial Dragon or a World Noble? Why are you running away? Fight back honorably!"

"Hey, Garp, are you out of your mind?"

"I'm just not happy!"

Among the crowd, Garp, who had just defeated a pirate, was covered in blood. He was very sad because he was not strong enough. Even if he tried his best, he could only watch helplessly as his comrades fell.

When the Celestial Dragons, who called themselves the Knights of God, appeared, Garp thought they would bring hope to the Navy.

In hindsight, he was completely wrong!
Garp, from his position, could see things clearly. The situation had been very favorable. The Navy had gradually suppressed the pirates, and the leader of the CP organization named Grindelwald had also suppressed the members of the White Wolf Pirates. A counterattack was only a matter of time.

Who knew that after that Celestial Dragon messed up and was chased, he ordered the leader of the CP organization named Grindelwald to come to his rescue, which resulted in the leader of the CP organization being ambushed and captured, and another Celestial Dragon also ending up being captured by pirates.

Now, this Celestial Dragon has ordered his navy to act as his human shield.

Isn't this just sending their navy to their deaths?
Only Elephant Mountain, who understood the Knights of God, knew that if they had no other backup plan, their only chance to turn the tide was to save Saint Lucas.

Even if it costs lives, we must give Lucas a chance to recover.

Because Saint Lucas is immortal.

If he has just half a minute to recover, he can hold off Shimotsuki Ryoma for a long time.

At that time, the key to victory or defeat will be—

"Father, hold on! I'll come to help you as soon as I get rid of Munger!"

On the other side, although Monger laughed loudly just now, it was really difficult for him to fight three people at once. Moreover, what he wanted was not to resist, but to suppress, so he had to transform into the form with the largest attack range.

The half-human white wolf resembled a primordial behemoth. The average giant was about twenty meters tall, and the fully transformed Munger was no less impressive.

To be honest, at first, Monger didn't understand why his body, which was about two meters tall, could expand to nearly twenty meters, and why his body didn't expand like a balloon, but was solid muscle.

But later, Munger came to a change of heart.

There are Devil Fruits in this world that grant abilities to those who eat them.

There's no need to be so clear about Devil Fruits.

Although this is not his strongest form, it is definitely the most suitable form for him now.

With a casual swipe of his claw, Monger exerted an unparalleled sense of oppression on Claude and his companions. The claw, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, tore the ground apart like tofu, forcing the three to leave with their backs to him.

However, the monstrous form that he fully transformed into greatly increased his vulnerable area, so much so that when faced with enemy attacks, he could not dodge immediately and could only take the hits head-on.

And the three people he was fighting against were not weaklings.

"That damn pirate!"

While attacking Mongols, Saints Claude and Grandreid glared fiercely at the enormous creature before them.

Although Claude Saint and Grandiard Saint had considered inheriting the entire Figarand family after their father's death.

But the premise is a peaceful handover!
If Saint Lucas dies, and that Wano Country samurai turns around and teams up with Monger, then forget about Saint Lucas.

Even they are in mortal danger!

“Granreed, Lord Stephens and I will hold off the attacks for you. Go help your father. Remember, your father must not fall!”

"Claude said in a deep voice."

Before the fight started, he never expected that Monger would be this strong.

They were outnumbered three to one, yet they couldn't gain the upper hand?
However, after fighting for so long, Claude Saint had roughly figured out Monger's strength. Although he could barely fight the three of them to a draw, he was only able to withstand their attacks by relying on his huge size.

In fact, after such a battle, they were unharmed except for some physical exertion, while Monger had many more wounds.

When Conqueror's Haki cannot completely suppress them.

Immortality remains their greatest asset!

"Phew, looks like we can't stop them now."

As if he could see the near future, Munger stopped forcing himself.

He can now handle two opponents without any pressure.

But fighting three opponents at once is really going to be a nightmare.

However, his efforts were not in vain; at least Glindwin fell, didn't he?

The immortality of the Knights of God has two forms.

One type is like Figarando's family, who didn't eat any Devil Fruits at all, relying entirely on their own strength, and only had a contract with Im.

Another type is those who, although they have a contract with Im, have eaten a Devil Fruit.

The former is tricky.

There is no other way but to forcibly break the immortality by using Conqueror's Haki or to slow down the recovery of the immortality by using Armament Haki.

But the latter is simpler.

Even if immortality can remain in effect indefinitely, once the person is weakened and rendered powerless, then even with immortality, they are useless.

Just like Grindelwald and Kurt Saint, who were captured alive by Newgate and his men.

They remain immortal.

However, high-purity sea stone, combined with chains as thick as a baby's forearm, bound them together like dumplings and then threw them into the sea.

Anyone who eats a Devil Fruit would be paralyzed if Im himself came here!

Think about it now.

The immortality of the Knights of God can only be one of Im's abilities; it's unknown whether they have any other abilities besides immortality and teleportation.

In short.

Realizing he couldn't stop the three people from going out to provide support, Monger stopped trying and transformed back into his beast form.

Although his size has decreased, the pressure on Claude Saint and Stephens has increased exponentially.

Because Monger changed into his most suitable form for combat, and their numbers have decreased!
"hold onto!"

Claude Saint looked at the wounds on Monger's body and said in a low voice.

"He can't outlast us!"

The immortal power of the Knights of God has gradually manifested itself on the battlefield.

Eleven powerful, and seemingly invincible monsters.

If Kurt Saint hadn't been captured by Newgate and Ripley, and if Lucas Saint, who was suspected to be the leader of these monsters, hadn't been chased and made a sorry state by a Wano Country samurai, the morale of the pirates would have collapsed.

even so.

The pirates' momentum was no longer as strong as it had been at the beginning.

The saying goes, "One should strike while the iron is hot, but the momentum will wane after a second attempt, and exhaust it completely after a third." For a motley crew, being able to force the World Government, the most powerful force in the world, to this point is already something to be proud of.

But it's not enough!

In the top-tier battlefield, Munger and Frostmoon Dragon Gate joined forces to gain the upper hand.

However, in secondary battlefields...

The navy, with its Knights of God, still holds a certain degree of initiative.

Therefore, after capturing Grindelwald and Kurt Saint, Newgate, Lipley, and Linlin, the three strongest fighters of the White Wolf Pirates, immediately went to support the others.

when!
At the critical moment, Grandreid, the dutiful son, finally stood in front of his elderly father and took the blow for him.

Shimotsuki Ryoma naturally wouldn't complain about this.

The fact that Monger was able to hold out against three opponents until now speaks volumes about his strength.

It was him, on the contrary.

Even though there was only one enemy and he had the upper hand, he was unable to defeat his opponent.

"In the end, I've become rusty."

Will the dead forget the skills they possessed in life? Shimotsuki Ryoma believes not. So perhaps the only thing that changes is their mindset.

Throughout his life, he always held onto hope for the future.

But now, after death.

All he can see is the present moment.

So he hesitated, wondering if what he was doing was the right thing to do.

But when he saw Shimotsuki Kozaburo, dressed similarly to him, not far away...

He felt relieved.

Perhaps Monge was hiding something from him.

But as a dead person, he didn't really have many choices, did he?
"Dragon Slash!"

Having just arrived from the battlefield against Monger and helped his father block a blow from Shimotsuki Ryoma, Saint Grand couldn't help but catch his breath.

The worst is yet to come!
Although his father was seriously injured, for those of them who were immortal, as long as they could dispel the Conqueror's Haki clinging to their injuries, they could recover.

He only needed to buy his father half a minute.

Then his father could return to the battlefield!

As for whether he can buy his father that much time.

Grand-Reid had absolutely no doubt.

joke!

He is a top-tier swordsman and also possesses an immortal body!

Who can defeat him in half a minute?

That Monger won't do!
While pondering, Saint Grande was also staring intently at Frost Moon Dragon Horse.

He won't make the same mistake his father did.

Although Shimotsuki Ryoma is very strong, with his immortality, he is absolutely...
Huh?
Grand Saint saw Shimotsuki Ryoma make a gesture of drawing his sword.

Similar to the previous moves.

However, he did not see Shimotsuki Ryoma draw his sword.

His vision began to tilt.

He seemed to hear his father's roar—

How dare you!!!

In the distance, as one of only two people on the entire battlefield to see Frostmoon Dragon Horse's movements, Munger's eyes flashed with an unprecedented brilliance.

Kill upon sight!

Overlord color entanglement!
Only he saw it: in that instant, Shimotsuki Ryoma blocked Grand Saint's Observation Haki and then unleashed a slash at unprecedented speed.

The Conqueror's Haki surrounding this strike was so intense that even Munger, who was thousands of meters away, felt a stinging pain.

With a single strike, he severed Grand's head and shattered the demon's pact!
Instant kill!

Completely ignoring the instant kill of an immortal body!

Although Monger is already very strong, he may not be able to deliver a decisive blow like Shimotsuki Ryoma.

to be honest.

His advantage lies not in his extreme attacks, but in his powerful physique and recovery ability.

Compared to him.

Shimotsuki Ryoma is a fragile little guy.

If Shimotsuki Ryoma were to slash him, he might not die, but if he were to deliver a full-force punch to Shimotsuki Ryoma, Shimotsuki Ryoma wouldn't be able to withstand it.

That dragon horse might become a dead horse.

Moreover, Monger also saw that after unleashing this strike, Shimotsuki Ryoma's body became much more ethereal, meaning that releasing this move was not easy, and he was not a truly living person.

His physical strength is dwindling with every use.

Even so, the death of Grand Saint marked a reversal of the tide of the war.

Now, no one can save Lucas Saint!

"Haha, even the foreign players are getting results, so I can't fall behind!"

Monger stared at Stephens, whose face was pale and Stephens, and Claude Saint, who looked somewhat lost, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

In Munger's view, the war was nearing its end.

Although the whole process took less than an hour.

However, with Grindelwald's capture, Saint Granreid died.

The situation has been completely reversed.

If the World Government wants to turn the tide, the only option is for the Five Elders to personally intervene.

But he had checked it before the war started.

The Five Elders aren't here at all. Even if they could arrive using that teleportation array, he and Shimotsuki Ryoma could send them back the moment they arrived!
What if the real body arrives?

snort?
Do you really think his massive Observation Haki is just for show?
Thinking of this.

Monge's tense heart relaxed slightly.

However, accidents often happen at such times.

An evil aura suddenly arose.

As I just mentioned, only two people present saw Shimotsuki Ryoma's actions.

One is Munger.

The other is——

"Truly disappointing. After years of comfort, is this all the God Knights have achieved?"

A calm voice suddenly rang out.

The girl who had been assisting Ortega in fighting Harald suddenly underwent a dramatic change in her aura.

This change drastically altered Harald's expression, who had always believed the girl was just an ordinary member of the Knights of God.

"not good!"

Munger and Shimotsuki Ryoma also noticed a change.

But it was too late.

"Become my servant!"

Behind the girl, a pair of enormous demon wings unfolded.

A huge magic circle appeared beneath Harald's feet.

【Devil's Pact!】

In an instant, Harald was fighting Ortega.

His entire body was stuck in the mud.

Sensing the aura emanating from the girl, Munger's expression finally changed. This aura, this Conqueror's Haki, could only belong to Im.

Monger had always thought that the one who attacked Harald was just an ordinary member of the God Knights, after all, the girl who was covered in a cloak did have her own Devil Fruit ability.

But he never expected that Im could possess the God Knight's Descent.

"You old woman, you have no shame!"
