One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 718 Fire Demon
"Bang bang bang!"

Three red flares lit up, not very noticeable in the dusk, but all the navy were horrified when they saw them, because this was a signal for retreat, and retreat meant the navy had lost! They had sent out a large army, but they actually lost to the pirates! This was really hard to accept.

"Everyone! Retreat in an orderly manner! Major General! Lieutenant General! Stop the enemy! Buy time for everyone! Quick!"

Although they were reluctant a thousand times, the Navy was a military organization that had been established for many years after all, and they knew what to do at this time. The more they could not panic at this time, they had to remain calm. Only by maintaining formation and retreating slowly could they be considered as retreating. If they all ran back in a swarm, it would become a rout and they would be killed by the enemy.

"What's going on? Wasn't he fine just now?"

After dodging Jin's attack and returning to the team, Sakaski asked after erecting a lava wall.

"I don't know! But it looks like the Five Elders ran away."

Borsalino also took the opportunity to run over, knocking the attack away while speaking to Sakaski.

"Those bastards! Do they know what they are doing?!"

Hearing Borsalino's words, Sakaski was immediately furious. This war was started by them, but in the end they abandoned the people and ran away!
"Be careful with your words, Sakaski, there are so many people here."

Kuzan took Dai's punch and took the opportunity to retreat, and came directly to the navy's formation. He heard Sakaski's words at the first time and reminded him quickly, who knows if there are any bastard spies in the navy.

"Humph."

Sakaski snorted coldly. Although he didn't say it directly, his meaning was very clear. Is there anyone among the people present who doesn't hate the Five Elders at this moment? If they hadn't retreated suddenly, the outcome of this battle would still be unknown!
"Don't say more, don't forget our identity."

Borsalino also shook his head and reminded them. His words were a double entendre. First, they were candidates for admiral of the navy. If such treasonous words were heard by others and reached the ears of the Five Elders, it would be difficult for them to do anything next. Second, they were still the thorns of the revolutionary army in private. If Sakaski did not speak out, a thorn would be planted in the hearts of the navy present, and this thorn would very likely become a help to them in the future.

"Okay, I've said too much, but this won't work, Kuzan! You retreat first! Use your ability to build an ice bridge! Let everyone retreat quickly!"

Sakaski said after releasing lava to block the ice ball thrown by Jhin.

"Okay, then you guys hold on, I'll be back as soon as possible."

Kuzan didn't waste any time, and this was not the time to waste, so he immediately turned around and rushed out, while Sakaski used all his strength to release rolling waves of lava, which almost covered the entire island in front of him.

"Flame Demon! Tyrant!"

As Sakaski roared, his entire body began to melt and reorganize. In just a dozen breaths, Sakaski had transformed into a huge lava giant, looking down at the people of the Four Emperors.

"Oh my, oh my, Sakaski, when did you become this powerful?"

Borsalino looked at Sakaski and said in surprise that the lava giant in front of him was not just big in size. Although the natural fruit was powerful, it would be difficult to control large-scale elements before awakening. For example, Kuzan could now achieve the Ice Age, but he could not control it perfectly. He could not do things like connecting other islands in the future. It was no problem to freeze the places within his sight, but once beyond that, he could do it at will. And now what Sakaski had turned into was obviously controllable.

"Fire Fist!"

Sakaski did not answer Borsalino's question, because now all his attention was used to control the fire demon. If he was distracted, he might disintegrate into lava on the spot.

"Ice Canopy!"

Faced with thousands of tons of lava falling on their heads, Jhin naturally did not dare to be negligent. Immediately, a semicircular shield formed by ice enveloped them, and then quickly expanded to withstand Sakaski's attack. After Sakaski's attack, the size of the Fire Demon was obviously reduced, but Sakaski did not stop, and punched down one after another. Countless cracks suddenly appeared on the ice canopy. Until the ice canopy finally couldn't hold on and shattered, Sakaski's Fire Demon also completely dissipated and turned back to the size of an ordinary person.

"Go!" Sakaski shouted, and Borsalino immediately picked up Sakaski and instantly turned into a stream of light and flew to the back. He just realized that this so-called Fire Demon was not actually an awakened fruit ability, but a simple stacking. It completely consumed its own physical strength to create enough lava and then shot it out in one breath. Sakaski is now probably exhausted and needs to rest as soon as possible.

"Don't run!"

Dai looked at Sakaski and the others who were running away and immediately wanted to chase after them, but was stopped by Jin and Katakuri on the left and right.

"do not go!"

“Don’t forget the plan!”

The two of them whispered at the same time, and the so-called plan was the order that sounded in their headphones not long ago.

"Tsk, these guys are really lucky."

Dai lifted up the mask and spat, then put the mask back on. Then the three of them ran wildly in another direction. No one could pass here now, after all, the lava on the ground had not cooled down yet. Sakaski's move directly changed the terrain here.

"Are they chasing us?"

Looking at Sakaski and Borsalino running towards him, Kuzan, who was controlling the ice slide to send waves of people, asked loudly.

"No! Get on board! We don't know why the enemy didn't catch up with us, but we must retreat immediately! What's going on with the ship?"

Sakaski shook his head, but then he realized that the number of ironclad ships seemed to be a little small. There were only a few in total, so why are there even fewer now?
"They were sunk. The pirates brought out a new type of ship. All five ironclad ships were destroyed, and they did not cause any damage to the enemy. You can ask for the details. Anyway, the situation is very bad."

Kuzan said, shaking his head.

"Tsk, forget it, let's not worry about that for now. How long will it take for everyone to get on board?"

"About half an hour, but Marshal Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp haven't shown up yet. Instead, Mr. Zephyr came back first. Borsalino, please go check it out."

Kuzan said this, looking at Borsalino who was leisurely on the side.

“Oh, I see. Isn’t it right over there?”

Borsalino pointed in another direction and everyone looked over there, only to see surging waves. Garp was paddling desperately while pulling Sengoku. At this moment, Sengoku was soaking in the water, feeling so hopeless.

"Did you see anything?"

Kuzan quickly turned his head and spoke to Sakaski as if he had seen nothing.

"I just hurt my head and I'm temporarily blind." Sakaski sat down on the ground and closed his eyes to rest.

"So Borsalino was the only one who saw it?"

Kuzan turned his head to look at Borsalino, but found that Borsalino had disappeared. This cunning guy had already run away. After all, Zhan Guo was the admiral of the navy, and seeing him in such an embarrassed state, he might be in trouble.
