One Piece: New Century Hextech Warriors

Chapter 98 Teacher Kai, you're definitely going to be the punching bag!

Ten minutes ago.

"Huh? Kaido came in person?"

Sith was lying on the beach sunbathing when he heard the message from his clone and immediately jumped up.

He couldn't understand it at all. Even if Kaido suffered a defeat and was seriously injured, he wouldn't abandon the territory he had built up over many years and just run away.

It's absurd for a pirate emperor to turn around and come here to wipe out their surveillance force.

Sith immediately had someone bring him a map, glanced at it, and then slapped his thigh in frustration.

"I was careless!"

In the southeast corner of the Kingdom of Prometheus, there was an inconspicuous little island, which was marked with the name "Sphinx" on the sea chart.

From the intelligence department's perspective, there was nothing noteworthy about the island, so Gion and his group naturally paid it no mind.

But Sith knew very well that this island was Whitebeard's home!

The truth is now quite clear: Kaido must have known Whitebeard's weakness, so he simply abandoned the Wano Country battlefield and launched a long-distance raid to try his luck, hoping to at least turn the tide.

All tactical changers are truly adept at this.

"I bet it was an older woman who did it again."

Sis silently greeted the woman's parents.

So that's why the Big Mom Pirates haven't made a move. Turns out they were waiting here.

After finding out the truth, he immediately ran to Gion to report, just in time to witness the common people pleading for mercy.

Upon hearing Sith's resounding words, the common people immediately stopped crying and looked at Sith with the eyes of someone looking at a savior.

Finally, a young navy officer is willing to help them!

Gion froze for several seconds, then gently tugged at Sith's sleeve, frowning as she said, "Sith, did you hear me clearly? That's not an ordinary pirate, it's Kaido!"

She exhaled a breath of stale air, shifted her gaze to the ground, and deliberately avoided Sith's eyes.

"There's nothing we can do."

She said those words through gritted teeth, overwhelmed by a torrent of guilt.

Gion certainly wanted to stay and help everyone, but she didn't forget that she was a vice admiral and had to be responsible to the navy.

Suddenly, Sith stepped forward, stretched out his right hand, and abruptly pressed down on Zhiyuan's chin, lifting her head to face him.

Gion gasped in surprise; the spot that had been touched was burning hot, and Kakei, who was next to her, almost fainted.

"Uriel Sith, that was supposed to be my move!"

If there hadn't been people all around, Jiaji would have been rolling on the ground in pain.

Sith didn't mean anything by it; he simply wanted to bring Gion to her senses.

Seeing that Gion had overcome his shock and negativity, he released his hand and said, "Lieutenant General Gion, I just looked at the map and found that there is a Sphinx Island nearby."

"I heard from a rumor that that place seems to be Whitebeard's hometown, which would explain Kaido's actions."

He turned the light around and looked straight toward the Sphinx Isle.

"Kaido must have decided to gamble on a surprise attack on Wano Country to force Whitebeard to withdraw his troops because of the unfavorable situation there."

"Now is Kaido's weakest moment. What we need to do is not retreat, but resolutely hold him off here and show the guys from the New World the Navy's determination!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it sounded like thunder to everyone.

Gion stared blankly at the blond man in front of her, suddenly feeling that he was as tall as a giant.

"Your speculation makes a lot of sense."

Gion was a smart man and quickly understood what Sith was trying to say.

She had always thought that Kaido had defeated Whitebeard and was using the momentum of his victory to provoke the Navy, and that the Navy was no match for him.

But if, as Sith said, Kaido is just trying to make a last-ditch effort to steal a base, then the war in Wano Country is probably not over yet, and Kaido might still have Whitebeard's pursuers chasing him.

In this way, they would not be dealing with a fully healed Kaido, but rather a gambler who had suffered a setback and was eager to turn the tables.

If the Navy can seize this opportunity and teach Kaido a lesson heaped upon him, it will definitely make pirates all over the world behave much better.

Conversely, if Kaido were to turn the tide and the Beast Pirates were to become the dominant force, the situation would be very bad. For the Navy, Whitebeard would be much easier to communicate with.

More importantly, Sith's words actually provided Gion with an excuse to fight.

For her, whether they were member states or non-member states, as long as they were innocent and vulnerable, they should be protected by that coat printed with the word "justice".

She wanted to retreat before because she had no chance of winning, but now it's different.

In any case, they are waiting in comfort, hoping that Kaido, who has been defeated by Whitebeard, will come to them. The advantage is in their hands!

"Siss, will you help me?"

Gion asked in a deep voice.

Sith grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth and his signature bright smile.

"Isn't that obvious!"

He had been getting battlefield information from Seven Tunes and knew that the Beasts Pirates had suffered heavy losses, with the three flagships and the true fighters all welded to the spot and unable to attack.

While Kaido is still able to fight, he was also seriously injured by Whitebeard and is estimated to have only about 60-70% of his strength.

In that case, he's really confident he can drive Kaido back!

Sith's Conqueror's Haki has stagnated for a long time. Unlike Armament Haki, which can be improved through training, Conqueror's Haki can only be improved through life-and-death trials with strong opponents.

Kai-sensei's teaching level is widely recognized. If I had the chance to fight him, my Conqueror's Haki might have a chance to improve.

Furthermore, Sith is expected to soon be undertaking an escort mission for a study tour. Before accomplishing that earth-shattering feat, it is essential for him to accumulate a significant number of battle achievements to gain the complete trust of the World Government and the Navy.

Sorry, Teacher Kai, you're definitely going to be the punching bag!

With a swish, Gion drew her long sword, its gleaming blade shimmering in the sunlight. The sea breeze billowed her "Justice" coat, making her look like a heroine from a fairy tale.

"Everyone!"

The crisp sound echoed across the coast, as if possessing some kind of magic, making the marines shudder and their fear vanish.

"During this time, we relied on the help of the Kingdom of Prometheus to successfully complete our mission. Many of you should have become friends with the people here. The Navy once promised to protect the people who fought for the Navy."

"But right now, this land is about to become scorched earth, and its people are about to become slaves and corpses. Tell me, are you willing to accept this?!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a marine raised his arm and shouted, "I don't want that kind of thing!"

The marine roared loudly, and a few crystal tears flew out.

He already had a girlfriend in the Kingdom of Prometheus and was planning to propose to her after the mission was over, but then this happened.

He didn't want to leave, but he had to obey orders from headquarters. Just as he was struggling with this decision, Gion's words suddenly gave him hope.

"I don't want to either! I'm willing to fight alongside Vice Admiral Gion!"

"We still have Major General Sith; we definitely won't lose!"

"Kill Kaido!"

Most of the marines immediately roared, their boiling blood making the temperature inexplicably rise a few degrees.

"There are still many normal people among the Marines."

Sith slowly swept his gaze across the excited crowd and couldn't help but smile.

While the Navy is essentially the World Government's dog and contains many scoundrels, it must be said that there are still many who still believe in justice.

Gion looked at the crowd, who were affected by her emotions, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Then let's do as Major General Sith says."

"Just drive away that mere pirate emperor!"

The sailors immediately cheered: "Awooo!!!"

After Gion finished his pre-battle pep talk, he turned to Kake and said, "Lieutenant General Kake, if you and the others wish to leave, please do so."

Even a desperate, weakened Kaido is still a very dangerous opponent. Gion doesn't want to use her status to coerce her subordinates, and she won't stop anyone from leaving.

"Don't worry, Gion. Now that I've said all that, I don't think anyone will leave."

He gave a wry smile.

He cursed Sith inwardly. Why did he drag everyone into this risk when they were about to retreat?

But since the goddess has spoken, what else is there to say?

Let's work like crazy!

With the plan finalized, everyone immediately began preparing for defense.

Not long after.

The bright sunshine suddenly turned dark, and large, dark clouds covered the sky. The marines of the Kingdom of Prometheus looked up, all with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

High in the sky, a hundred-meter-long azure dragon slowly flew by, its passage accompanied by howling winds and darkened clouds. Just glimpsing its domineering aura was enough to send chills down one's spine.

"They're here."

Sith squinted at the colossal object in the sky, his face beaming with excitement and fighting spirit.

"Oh my god, Lingling really wasn't lying to me, there really is a navy stationed here."

Kaido stared at the Marines below with eyes the size of an ordinary person's head, as if they were a group of ants.

If I can't handle the white-bearded guy, I can at least handle you guys.

"It's been a while since I've clashed with the Navy. I'll vent my anger from Newgate on you guys first!"

Azure Dragon's whiskers and hair stood on end, and a chilling aura of Conqueror's Haki descended from the sky.
