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

Chapter 219 The Battle to Slay the "Gods"!
"Newgate, how long has it been since we fought side by side like this?"

I saved you just two years ago.

"You were too slow that time, so it doesn't count!"

"."

On the deck formed by the collision of the ships, Rocks and Newgate stood together, facing the enemy before them.

The two were in incredibly high spirits.

Although they had joined forces in the battle of Osgu Island a year ago, it was ultimately just a withdrawal operation.

After Newgate arrived, they fought off the pursuers and held a pirate party together. After drinking, they parted ways again.

Unlike this time.

"If we win this time, that old geezer will be the king of the world, right?"

"The captain doesn't care about this thing."

"Hahaha, if Im were willing to marry the old man and then kill all the Celestial Dragons, maybe the old man would just hand over this position."

It can only be said that both of them know Monger too well.

Although he's a pirate, he has absolutely no interest in power or money; the only thing he's interested in is women.

If it weren't for this, Rocks would have doubted whether Mongo was actually a pirate.

After all, it's about money, power, women, and strength.

Isn't this what men pursue in this world?

Strength is something all men pursue.

Besides, pirates pursue money, power, or women.

Rocks was after power.

Therefore, he could not possibly be subservient to anyone, and he also harbored the ambition to become the king of the world.

Newgate is similar to Munger.

He had little interest in money or power. Although he valued his family, he visited the entertainment district quite often. At first, he went secretly, but later he started going openly.

The biggest difference between him and Munger is...

He's the type who's secretly passionate.

The two pirates' unbridled words made the veins on the foreheads of the four Five Elders throb, and the two leaders of the God Knights of the Figarand family directly rebuked them.

"Insanity!"

"How dare you insult Lord Im!"

"Let's do it together!"

Behind them, the four elders had all transformed into their Zoan-type Devil Fruit human-beast forms. Although they were not large, the human-beast forms were undoubtedly the most comprehensive of all Zoan-type Devil Fruit forms.

"Haha, good time!"

Rocks, wielding a long sword, and Newgate, wielding a naginata, exchanged a smile.

Buzz————————!
The clash started with a battle of Conqueror's Haki. None of the eight people present were without Conqueror's Haki. As Celestial Dragons who ruled the world, the Five Elders and Figarand father and son's Conqueror's Haki was not weak.

However, it's a six-on-two clash.

"Haha, looks like your domineering attitude isn't all that great after all!"

Black and red lightning intertwined in the air. As the core area of ​​the entire battlefield, the surrounding ships had long been cleared out.

The clash of Conqueror's Haki among eight people could even knock out a pirate with a bounty exceeding 100 million, but a clash is a clash of auras, and only the losing side will suffer the consequences.

The terrifying Conqueror's Haki clashed, creating a crack in the ship's deck, much like a materialized bolt of lightning. Keep in mind that these ships were made of Adam Wood, the most durable ships in the world.

However, faced with the domineering aura of the group, cracks inevitably appeared.

The surging waves dispersed in all directions.

Hines Oran's freezing ability had no effect on the center of the battle; it was shattered by the terrifying aura before it even reached it.

Like the center of a whirlpool, the astonishing fluctuations emanating from the center of the battlefield could be felt throughout the sea area spanning tens of kilometers.

"Tsk, that's really exaggerated!"

Even powerful figures like Roger and Garp, who were close to the level of generals, couldn't help but pause for a moment after sensing the overwhelming force at the center of the battlefield.

With their current strength, they probably couldn't even participate in such a battle.

But it doesn’t matter.

"Garp, today is your death day!"

"Haha, Roger, this time I'll definitely drag you into Impel Down!"

Top-tier experts have their own battles, and so do those of quasi-general level experts—battles that ordinary people cannot even approach.

In the center of the battlefield.

After a simple clash of domineering auras, the Five Elders and the two leaders of the Divine Knights realized with grim expressions that their combined domineering auras were no match for the two opponents.

"We didn't have a proper fight a year ago, so let's have a good battle this time!"

Lox laughed loudly, gripped his longsword with both hands, and then slammed it down heavily.

"A terrifying blow!"

Although he was a student of Monger, Rocks' swordsmanship was completely different from Monger's. He simply carried on Monger's pursuit of power, rather than mechanically copying Monger's swordsmanship.

The sword technique, resembling a cannonball, hurtled towards the Five Elders and Figarand, while Newgate, standing beside them, was equally determined.

"Shaking Wave - Sky-Rending!"

Both of their attacks were imbued with Conqueror's Haki. From a bird's-eye view, it would be noticeable that after the two unleashed their attacks, the ships that collided in the center of the battlefield seemed to sink by more than ten meters.

All the ships were sinking in the face of a tremendous force, but this force also pulled at the surrounding seawater like a spider web, like water droplets that were reluctant to fall.

The sea did not capsize, nor did the ships sink; however, the effects of the attack spread to far more distant places.

The ice that had been frozen by Hines Oran was torn apart piece by piece. Even though Hines Oran was not the main target, the aftershocks of the attack caused the ice to split into four or five pieces, once again revealing the surging seawater beneath the ice.

Faced with the combined attack of the two, the six opponents were equally unwilling to back down.

"You think you can stop us?"

"Don't be too arrogant!"

"When I ruled this world, you weren't even born yet!"

"An ant dares to shake a tree?"

"."

Strands of black and red lightning shot into the sky, filling the entire heavens.

Not all of the Five Elders can use Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, but those who have reached this level, even if they are not as good, will not lose to Rocks and Newgate when they work together!
boom! !

A deafening roar erupted from the center of the collision, and a violent storm suddenly burst forth under the compression of the air, allowing the entire battlefield to feel what a battle between top-tier experts truly meant.

This attack also signaled that the eight were going all out. Among the Five Elders, Topman Vochuli Saint, who possessed the strongest defense, was the first to charge forward. He was also one of the two strongest among the Five Elders.

"Roar------"

The Conqueror's Haki that erupted with a roar transformed into a tangible impact, crashing into Rocks and Newgate. At the same time, Izannbaron V. Nassjuro, who had transformed into a centaur, and Figarando Lucas, both drew their swords and attacked Rocks from the side.

On the other side, a giant sandworm shrouded in black smoke surged forward, flanked by the two beings in human-beast form: Jeygolucia Satan Saint and Figarando Claude Saint.

Even if Monger didn't fight desperately, he wouldn't be able to withstand such a combined attack from six top-tier powerhouses from the World Government.

But Lox and Newgate are two different people.

They shared the burden and entrusted their backs to each other.

Few strong individuals possess such tacit understanding.

They cooperate well because they both possess top-tier Observation Haki, allowing them to anticipate the next move of those around them.

However, top-tier pirates like Rocks and Newgate, who entrusted their backs to others based on trust, simply did not exist in the past!

No matter what, they must always be vigilant and watch out for what's behind them. Even now, with six people working together, they still have to worry that if Rocks and Newgate fight desperately, they might take one of them away.

An immortal body can withstand one or two attacks imbued with Conqueror's Haki, but it will still die when faced with an excessive amount of Conqueror's Haki.

Although they are in the same camp, they each have their own ulterior motives.

"The old man was right after all. You are a bunch of scum of the world, parasites of the nation, garbage of society. You can't even trust your own companions. How can you possibly win against us?"

Rocks's sword clashed with the swords of Saint Izambaron V. Nassjuro and Saint Lucas, while a giant boar, the beast form of Saint Topman Vochuli, attacked from the side.

But Rocks gave a cold smile.

After clashing with Saint Izambaron V. Nassuro and Saint Lucas, he immediately turned around and faced Newgate's enemies.

If it's just one person, then after they've exhausted themselves in one strike, that's the best time for the enemy to attack them. But if two people cooperate, they can save that momentary gap to adjust their condition.

then.

The scene shifts to Newgate desperately holding off the boar's charge with his naginata, while Rocks battles Jaigolusia Satan and Claude in their human-beast forms.

Shepard X. Pitt, who had transformed into a sandworm, was immediately blasted into the ship's cabin by Newgate's Tremor Force the moment he collided with Newgate. If it weren't for the sturdiness of Adam Wood, Newgate's punch would have caused the entire ship to explode.

Even if it explodes, I won't feel bad, after all, it's Im's ship.

In contrast.

On the Millennium Falcon, just a ship away, Lingling, who was fighting Ortega and Stephens, almost cried with heartache as she looked at the damaged ship.

You two bastards!

Enraged, Lingling grabbed Ortega with one hand and pressed down Stephens, who had transformed into a giant griffin, with the other, and threw them both away.

"This is my home!!!"

I grew up on the Millennium Falcon. Although I also lived on land, I spent far less time on the ship than on land.

Therefore, in Lingling's mind, this ship is her home.

Now that someone has come to the Millennium Falcon to cause damage, it's like they've come to her house to cause trouble. How can Lingling not be angry?
"Cough cough, what a monster!"

The so-called being thrown off actually meant being slammed from the Millennium Falcon onto Ortega's flagship. Ortega and Stephens climbed up from the ship, which had almost been smashed through, and looked at Lingling with fear in their eyes.

It's useless, completely useless!
As a top user of Armament Haki, Ortega has never seen an enemy who can completely ignore his attacks.

She clearly only looks like a tall girl.

(Young Lingling)

But every time he sparred, Ortega felt like his hand was about to break.

If it weren't for his immortal regenerative abilities, and the fact that he had a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit user by his side to take the beatings with him, he wouldn't have survived.

Ortega doubted he could have made it this far.

To suppress the girl in front of them, two of them wouldn't be enough; at least three would be needed!

But looking around...

Where can their world government spare any manpower right now?
The intensity of the battle on the Five Elders' side was beyond his imagination. He originally thought that the six top experts would be enough to suppress Rocks and Newgate.

But who would have thought that Rocks and Newgate, working together, would achieve a result greater than the sum of its parts, while the Five Elders, the six top experts, were not entirely in sync.

This has led to a situation where, although they would have been able to suppress Rocks and Newgate when fighting separately, now that they are teaming up, the situation is evenly matched.

The battlefield in the sky was even worse.

The colossal demon, along with Marcus Mazsan, who had transformed into a bird-serpent, could only barely restrain Harald, who had transformed into a blue dragon.

Even the only one among the Five Elders who could fly had cursed him countless times in his heart.

Why are you guys the ones who can gang up on the opponent?

If it were me, would I get beaten up?

The giant demon summoned by Im was stronger than that of an ordinary general-level powerhouse, and coupled with the bird-serpent incarnation of Marcus Maz, it did cause Harald a lot of trouble.

But it's just a hassle.

Sometimes, when he sees the situation on the battlefield is not good, Harald can even withstand the attacks of demons and Marcus Mazs, and breathe dragon breath towards the battlefield.

For Harald, it was just saliva.

But for those fighting on the broken ice, it was like a meteor shower from the sky, burning the world to ashes.

The strongest warriors and the most ordinary soldiers are no different from gods and mortals.

Therefore, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this battle a war of gods.

Of course, this also applies to the White Wolf Pirates.

That was the God-Slaying War, where the Celestial Dragons were killed and those who called themselves "gods" were trampled underfoot!

The situation has reversed.

In every past battle, the White Wolf Pirates were at a disadvantage, and each time Monger had to fight against many enemies and hold back the vast majority of them in order to have any chance of winning.

But as time has passed, things have come to this point.

On the most advanced battlefield, Monger's side has already gained the upper hand!

A fierce wind howled high in the sky.

Both Im and Mongo's Observation Haki allow them to survey the entire battlefield.

The situation is improving across the board.

Monger looked at Im, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Im, if you have any other tricks up your sleeve, bring them on."

"otherwise."

"Once you lose to me, you won't be able to use it even if you wanted to!"
