I, Kizaru, only came to the chat group after I became invincible

Chapter 205 Army General
Otherwise, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, no matter how sidelined he was, he would not be without a few useful men under his command.

Without Borsalino's instigation and the temptation of pure gold, Cyborg Kong would have probably just lived his life like this. But now that he has pure gold and the ability to stay young forever, why can't he try to wash away the shame he carries?

Coincidentally, in Borsalino's plan for the future, there is no room for pirates to survive. As long as he can assist Borsalino in destroying all pirates, who will remember that Cyborg Sora was once defeated by pirates!

"Your Excellency the Five Elders are not going to summon us... Then Marshal Kong and I will go to the Army Command Headquarters and wait for orders!"

Spark Chero was a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up.

Although I didn't get to meet the Five Elders, it would be nice to have the opportunity to build a good relationship with the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Cyborg Sora.

"I am Marshal Kong's subordinate, so I will naturally stand by you!"

Captain Wesker is also very straightforward. He has no extra ambitions or inappropriate ideas. He is only grateful to the king who promoted him from a commoner to captain of the guard. When he doesn't know what to do, following the crowd is undoubtedly the best choice.

"Once we have wiped out those damned pirates, I will personally commend you two for your contributions to the Five Elders."

Cyborg Sora showed a rare smile on his face, and then he took the two deputy legion commanders to the army command headquarters to wait for orders.

Although nominally he was only going to the Army Headquarters on standby, but in the absence of the Five Elder Stars, Steel Bone Sora, the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies, had the authority to directly take over the command of the Army.

However, what Cyborg Sora did not expect was that when he was happily preparing to take over the command of the army, he met a guy at the army command headquarters who should not be there.

Iron Fist Liu Luo!

The current and only Admiral of the Army. He was once a rival of Sora Cyborg, but later Sora was transferred by the Five Elder Stars to become the Admiral of the Navy, so Ryuluo Iron-Fist succeeded Sora Cyborg as the Army General.

"Why are you here, General Liu Luo?"

Cyborg Kong frowned. If anyone was in charge of commanding the army, he would have enough ability and prestige to take over the command of the army.

But Liu Luo is not inferior to him in terms of strength or qualifications. The key is that this guy is the only general of the army. Even Steel Bone Kong, the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, finds it difficult to suppress Liu Luo within the army system.

But as far as Cyborg Sora knew, Ryuluo should still be patrolling the Red Earth Continent at this time. Even if he tried his best, he would not be able to return to Marijoa so quickly.

"What are you talking about, Marshal Kong? Knowing that there are daring lunatics who dare to attack the holy land, as an army general, of course you have to rush back to protect Mary Geoise as soon as possible. Otherwise, do you have to rely on those seagulls?"

Iron Fist Ryuluo, who was extremely strong and almost several sizes bigger than Steel Bone Kong, crossed his arms over his chest and shouted arrogantly.

Because the army has always been at a disadvantage in the competition for military funds, the top brass likes to call the navy "seagulls" to mock the navy for being like a robber and thief when competing for military funds.

As everyone knows, Cyborg Sora once served as the Admiral of the Navy. However, during his tenure as Admiral of the Navy, Cyborg Sora not only did not show any sign of favoring the Army, but when competing for military funds, he took advantage of his Army background and encroached on the share that should have belonged to the Army.

Hearing Iron Fist·Ryu Luo bringing up the old story, the high-ranking army officers present looked at each other in bewilderment. Several army generals who wanted to greet Steel Bone·Sora and reminisce about the past also subconsciously chose to avoid looking at Steel Bone·Sora.

"I see. Since General Liu Luo is here personally, the command of the front line will be handed over to you. I am here on the orders of the Five Elders. If you need any help, please feel free to ask."

Steel Bone Kong instantly realized Liu Luo's sinister intentions, but the experienced Steel Bone Kong did not have a conflict with Liu Luo. Instead, he took a step back and pointed out that he came here on the orders of the Five Elder Stars.

The implication of his words was almost as if he was pointing at Tiequan Liuluo's nose and asking him whether he had any objection to the decision of the Five Elders.

What made Liu Luo most uncomfortable was that Steel Bone Kong did not choose to leave because of his indirect remarks. Having such a big man staying in the Army Headquarters was equivalent to constantly weakening his authority.

What's more troublesome is that once Ryuluo makes a mistake in command or suffers a defeat, Steel Bone Kong can take over the Army Headquarters. Those high-ranking army officers who now choose to stand on Ryuluo's side will only become fence-sitters at that time.

"Then I would like to ask General Kong for his guidance!"

Iron Fist Liu Luo spoke with gritted teeth. Even though he had suffered a small loss, he was unwilling to lose the upper hand in words. He deliberately pointed out repeatedly that Steel Bone Kong, as the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces and the former navy marshal, was not the same as their army.

Unfortunately, compared with Cyborg Kong's "the fox borrowing the power of the tiger" without any worldly air, Liu Luo's reminder did not have much effect. The high-ranking army officers present were all smart people who could judge the situation. Even the army generals who had subconsciously avoided eye contact before, took the initiative to show goodwill and even flattering glances to Cyborg Kong.

As long as Marshal Kong does not lose the trust of the Five Elders, he will always be the highest-level military commander under the world government system.

Apart from Iron Fist Ryuluo, his former enemy and rival, even the high-ranking army officers who disliked Cyborg Sora the most were unwilling to offend him for no reason.

Cyborg Sora might not be able to get them promoted to Army Generals, but he definitely has the ability to ruin things when they have the chance to be promoted.

Just as a brief and silent power struggle broke out at the Army Command Headquarters, the first group of pirates in the bubble pod successfully boarded Marijoa.

"Kill them!"

"Kill these pirates!"

"I want to be free again!"

……

Almost at the moment they saw the first pirate appear, the slave gladiators stationed at the bubble pod terminal rushed over with roars.

They were also promised that they would regain their freedom if they killed pirates, and in order to increase the slaves' enthusiasm for fighting, the World Government also promised that the more pirates they killed, the more rewards they would receive.

The highest reward is even to become the king of a small country. The next highest reward is to obtain noble titles and fiefdoms, and the next highest reward is a large amount of treasure.

Stimulated by freedom and huge rewards, the fully armed slave gladiators burst out with amazing fighting power and at one point resisted the pirates who tried to rush out and control the terminal.

Every year, the Celestial Dragons would purchase a large number of slaves from slave traders. Some of the strongest slaves would be trained as gladiators and sent to the Colosseum for the entertainment of more Celestial Dragons.

These gladiators might have been just ordinary people at first, but after experiencing countless bloody fights and mutual eliminations, each of them could be said to be a seasoned warrior with skilled martial arts.

In particular, there are many gifted races among the gladiators, such as the fishmen, long-armed, long-legged, furry, and even giants. After rigorous training, the gladiators of these races can even face off against pirates with bounties of hundreds of millions of berries.

Thousands of such gladiators gathered together could easily destroy a kingdom, or even kill all the people in the kingdom!
Unfortunately, they encountered the core combat force of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates, which was led by eleven senior fighters and consisted of more than six hundred mid-level fighters. In addition, there were more than five hundred junior fighters whose strength was not much inferior to that of the mid-level fighters to assist them.

Each high-level fighter is equivalent to a pirate with a bounty of nearly 1 billion berries, and the average strength of mid-level or even junior fighters is not much worse than that of pirates with a bounty of tens of millions of berries.

The pirates did not expect that Marijoa's resistance would be so fierce that at the beginning even a senior fighter was besieged and killed by the almost crazy slave gladiators.

However, most gladiators were better at one-on-one duels. In such a melee, the training they had received and their previous combat experience were difficult to be directly used.

In addition, there are many Devil Fruit users among the pirates, especially a high-level fighter who has eaten the Animal-Type Bull-Bull Fruit, Yak Form, and has already mastered the awakening of the fruit ability. He rushed directly into the encirclement of the slave gladiators and activated the Musou mode.

Under the leadership of this group of powerful senior fighters, the pirates quickly gained a foothold and quickly began to strangle the slave gladiators.

Seeing that the desperate charge of the slave gladiators could not stop the pirates' advance, the agents of the CP organization decisively released the most special group of slaves.

"It's your turn! Go ahead and kill all those pirates!"

The CP agents opened the seastone handcuffs worn by the slaves and drove these powerful slaves, who were once famous on the sea, to attack.

Although the number is not large, there are many big pirates with bounties of hundreds of millions of berries among these slaves.

The leader is even more amazing, it is Bartholomew Kuma who once served as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

Although the bear was taciturn in the past, he was not like a walking corpse, allowing the CP agents to drive him out of the cage with whips like a wild beast.

"Wow! That guy...could it be...Tyrant Bear?!"

The bear's tall, almost inhuman body was extremely eye-catching, and attracted the attention of many pirates almost as soon as it appeared.

Even for the pirates in the New World, the deterrent power of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is extremely strong. Seeing such a ruthless character appear in the enemy camp, the pirates' offensive momentum was somewhat frustrated.

Especially after those pirate slaves joined the battlefield, the morale of the slave gladiators was boosted by the addition of such a group of fresh forces, and the battle line was once pushed back to a position not far from the bubble pod.

"Asshole! Don't be so proud! The Seven Warlords of the Sea are nothing but slaves of the Celestial Dragons! Go to hell!"

The pirates saw that the situation was not good and it would take some time for the subsequent reinforcements to arrive, so several senior fighters decided that the animal-type user with awakened devil fruit would be responsible for stopping the bear, and the others would help stabilize the front line.

No matter they were slave gladiators or powerful slaves, they were all vulnerable in front of a pirate with a bounty of 900 million berries.

It is already very difficult for slaves who have been abused and tortured for years to survive. No matter how strong they were in the past, they will inevitably continue to weaken after becoming slaves.

"Bull horn collision!"

The user of the Bull-Bull Fruit's Yak Form ability transformed into a giant yak, knocking away all the slaves who tried to stop it along the way, and finally crashed into the bear.

The huge bear was knocked back by the powerful 'yak' and couldn't help but spurt out a large mouthful of blood.

However, before the user of the Bull-Bull Fruit could feel happy, the bear had already raised his paw-covered hand.

'puff! '

There was only a slight sound of air explosion, and the 'yak' that was as strong as a bull demon disappeared directly on the spot. It was actually blasted to an unknown place by the power of the Meat Ball Fruit.

The CP agents who saw this were overjoyed and tried to drive the bear away and kill all the remaining pirates.

Unfortunately, the bear seemed to have forgotten that he was the user of the Meat-Puff Fruit and just waved his hands around.

The pirates also realized that something was wrong with Kuma, so they took the initiative to avoid the former Shichibukai and killed all the CP agents who tried to drive Kuma away.

The bear, without anyone to drive it away, soon calmed down again, and watched the bloody fight between the pirates and slaves with lifeless eyes.

Soon, as the second and even third batches of pirates boarded Marijoa in bubble pods, the slave gladiators were also killed.

"Blatter, batter..."

Later, Esdeath climbed up to Marijoa, walked on the blood-soaked ground and came to the front of the bear, looking at the huge guy in front of her with interest.

"This guy should be pretty strong, right? How did he become a slave?"

Esdeath asked with a bit of curiosity. She just happened to have some impression of the senior fighter who was slapped away by the big guy in front of her. He was a guy with good strength, but he was killed instantly by this big guy with a slap.

If he hadn't lost his self-awareness, this big guy would have been a pretty good opponent.

"I'm very sorry, Lady Esdeath. I don't know why Tyrant Bear became a slave. I only know that he used to be a Shichibukai, but was later stripped of the title by the World Government..."

The pirate called over by Esdeath was big and strong and covered in blood, looking like the perfect example of a ferocious monster.

However, in front of Esdeath, who was only half his height, this extremely ferocious pirate was like a pug, and even spoke in a humble voice.

"Shichibukai? That's interesting. Take him back and find a doctor to treat him."

Only then did Esdeath recall that Borsalino seemed to have mentioned the Seven Warlords of the Sea to her, but she couldn't remember the details for a while.

However, picking up such a big guy made her feel much better. Even if she couldn't make this guy regain consciousness, his extremely strong physique could also be used as an excellent human sandbag.
