Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Before long, a large number of pirates fell on the battlefield, instantly relieving the pressure on the marines.

Even so, the pirates still have the advantage in overall numbers.

At this moment, Whitebeard and Big Mom had already arrived in front of Kyle, their Conqueror's Haki swirling around Murakumogiri and Napoleon, as they slashed fiercely at Kyle.

Kyle raised his purple lightning, Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki simultaneously swirling around him as he met the attacks of the two.

boom--

The moment their ultimate Conqueror's Haki clashed, a terrifying aura exploded outwards, with aftershocks spreading outwards from the three of them. The candy-colored land beneath their feet gradually succumbed to the terrifying impact.

The overwhelming brilliance shot straight into the sky, instantly obliterating all the clouds within sight.

After a period of continuous exchange of fire, Kyle was instantly blasted away as the Whitebeard and the old lady exerted their combined strength.

His body was propelled by the immense force like a cannonball, but midway through, Kyle suddenly transformed into lightning, then flashed back several times.

This is the advantage of Logia-type Devil Fruit users: they can neutralize the power attached to them by becoming elemental.

As soon as Kyle returned, the two men with the white beard rushed over again.

Both of them understood that Kyle was the most troublesome person on the Navy's side right now. Once Kyle was dealt with, the difficulty of rescuing people would undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

But just then, a yellow flash suddenly shone down from the sky, causing the white-bearded man and the old woman to pause for a moment.

Kyle, on the other hand, gave a faint smile.

"It's finally here!!"

Without hesitation, Kyle ignored the old woman's attacks and went straight to meet Whitebeard.

Meanwhile, a yellow flash suddenly appeared in front of the middle-aged woman, and a golden, gleaming sword slashed down at her.

Clang!

The older woman used Napoleon to block the flash sword, her eyes flickering as she watched the figure slowly coalesce in the yellow flash.

"Kizaru!!"

"Sashiberdana, old lady!"

"It's been so long since I've seen you, you've gotten so fat, it's scary~~"

Kizaru's signature lewd face and lewd tone.

The word "fat" instantly ignited the woman's anger, and she growled:

"Kizaru, you're asking for it!!"

The old woman brought up Napoleon and swung her knife again, but the knife passed right through Kizaru after striking him. Kizaru's two halves of his body turned into flashes of light and dissipated, reforming their forms a short distance away, still with that nonchalant expression.

"Auntie, don't be so irritable!"

"At your age, be careful not to get sick from getting angry."

After saying that, Kizaru turned his gaze to Kyle on the other side and spoke:

"Lieutenant General Kyle, am I not too late?"

What if I said it's actually a bit late?

Kyle smiled faintly.

"Well, there's nothing I can do then. I've gotten here as fast as I can, but any faster... I simply can't manage it."

Kizaru shrugged helplessly, his expression perfectly controlled.

"Where are the others? How long until they arrive?"

"At the warship's speed, it should take about half an hour!"

"Half an hour..."

Kyle narrowed his eyes, glanced at the white-bearded man and the old woman not far away, then surveyed the battlefield, and nodded, saying:

"That's not a big problem; you can manage for another half hour!"

Are you sure?

Kizaru raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Our mid-to-low-level combat strength is at a significant disadvantage. We're fine with that, but are you sure they can hold out for half an hour?"

"It's definitely not possible now, but that might change later!"

Kyle spoke calmly, holding the purple lightning bolt in his hand, and slowly raised it.

In an instant, an inexplicable aura emanated from Kyle, and terrifying purple lightning shot out from the purple lightning, constantly surging.

Kyle simply uttered two words.

"Lightning strikes... Dragon and Serpent!!"

Before he finished speaking, Kyle slashed down with his sword, and countless bolts of lightning burst forth, transforming into countless wandering lightning dragons and electric snakes that spread across the entire battlefield.

"drink!!"

With a loud shout, the white-bearded man unleashed a shockwave that annihilated a large area of ​​thunder dragons and electric snakes. However, a large number of them continued to spread towards the battlefield, meandering along the ground and into the sky.

Furthermore, these lightning dragons and electric snakes seemed to be alive, automatically chasing after the pirates.

For a time, the screams of the pirates could be heard everywhere on the battlefield, and the crackling sounds were endless.

After this round, there were far fewer pirates on the battlefield, and the aura of many of the pirates who hadn't fallen had also weakened considerably.

Seeing this, Kyle narrowed his eyes and decided to try again.

However, his pupils suddenly contracted as a dark shadow loomed over him. Looking up, he saw the white-bearded man, his hands still wrapped in a white ball, standing in front of him and delivering a powerful punch.

Kyle immediately drew his sword to block, but the purple lightning was deflected by the terrifying shockwave from the white-bearded man's fist and struck him directly.

bang——

A dull thud followed, and a terrifying shockwave exploded from Kyle's chest. A tremendous force erupted from within Kyle's body, causing him to vomit a mouthful of blood on the spot.

But that wasn't all. Whitebeard raised his fist, imbued with a shockwave, and slammed it at Kyle again, his eyes gleaming with ferocity.

He wanted to overwhelm Kyle with an extremely fast offensive pace, giving him absolutely no chance to breathe.

To attack his pirates in front of him time and time again is simply disrespectful.

He absolutely cannot allow Kyle to continue attacking so recklessly, otherwise it would be a devastating blow to their pirate alliance.

Kyle's area-of-effect attacks are too strong; he can't limit him. He can only keep attacking the opponent to prevent Kyle from attacking others.

This is why the role of a top-tier expert on the battlefield is extremely crucial, because if a top-tier expert is not blocked by an expert of equal level, then facing the others is like a nuclear bomb attack.

Especially for powerful figures like Kyle, who are fast and have strong group attack capabilities, this is a complete nightmare for ordinary pirates.

The next second, Whitebeard's pupils shrank sharply, because Kyle had adjusted in a very short time, his fists wreathed in Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, and clashed with Whitebeard's fists.

A terrifying shockwave exploded from their fists, sending them flying backwards.

Their feet rubbed against the ground for quite a distance before stopping.

The white-bearded man looked up sharply and saw Kyle wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his breathing stabilizing at an extremely rapid pace.

This means that Kyle's injury is recovering rapidly, and at a much faster pace than before.

But after only a moment of shock, Whitebeard suppressed his astonishment and charged at Kyle again, wielding his naginata.

Even though Kyle's performance was somewhat unexpected, the strategy remained the same: to suppress Kyle with a ferocious offensive, giving him no chance to deal with their pirates!

Meanwhile, at Impel Down...
