The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 444 Someone Needs to Bear the Cost

General Sengoku is doing everything he can to resist Whitebeard's attack in order to prevent the enemy from launching another large-scale attack.

Such an impact would have resulted in enormous naval losses.

Suddenly, a deafening dragon roar resounded from the sky, sounding like a terrifying demonic chant.

The mere transmission of sound carries such terrifying pressure.

At that moment, countless powerful naval officers felt a chill run down their spines; they knew who it was.

The Four Emperors – Kaido of the Beasts!

The clouds churned high in the sky, and the previously somewhat gray sky suddenly flashed with light, turning the clouds bright red.

The next second, a terrifying pillar of fire pierced through the clouds and brutally struck the earth.

The terrifying temperature, like a giant pillar of lightning, instantly tore a hideous crack in the island's earth.

An astonishing pillar of flame continuously sliced ​​forward.

"Boom!"

Countless explosions rang out in succession, and many high-ranking naval officers turned pale.

"Damn it!!!"

The naval high command roared in anger, but they were powerless to stop it; they were all entangled and unable to break free.

The massive pillar of fire sliced ​​directly into the area where the naval warships were stationed in the blink of an eye, unleashing a deafening explosion.

"Boom!"

The devastating impact instantly shattered more than a dozen naval warships, and a large number of elite naval personnel were vaporized.

The frozen ice surface shattered into countless shards of ice that crashed down.

Steel-boned, hollow, and sharp as a knife, those are the elite naval personnel trained by the navy!

Having endured battles against the two Emperors, Whitebeard's violent attacks, and Kaido's powerful assault, they suffered heavy losses.

Kaido transformed into human form and plummeted from the sky.

"Boom!!!" A loud noise rang out, billowing smoke and dust filled the sky, and the ground shattered like tofu.

That incredibly strong physique is truly astonishing; just how thick-skinned and tough it is!

He just fell from such a height so carelessly; it was obviously intentional.

As the dust settled, Kaido appeared, carrying his spiked club.

He was seething with anger; those damned insects were shaking up Wano Country, like a bunch of dark, shady rats, and had made him waste a lot of time.

If it weren't for the concern that destroying Wano Country would affect the development of the Beasts Pirates...

Kaido launched a direct saturation attack, almost dashing his hopes of having a proper fight with the Navy's strongest warriors.

Moreover, Wano Country itself is the furthest from this battlefield, and he flew here alone after defeating his opponent.

That anger infuriated him; the World Government, or rather the Navy, regarded him as a brute!

"Garp!!!"

Kaido roared, and the Eight Guards were enveloped in astonishing Conqueror's Haki. Black Flash exploded, and the void trembled with a loud bang.

He'd been wanting to have a good fight with that old guy Garp for a long time.

Garp's expression changed slightly. Facing the combined attack of two Yonko, he could easily perish here.

"Fist Bone Impact!"

The fist trembled, black light flashed, and electric arcs filled the air. The destructive punch, carrying immense power, swept across the void.

"boom!!!"

The massive explosion tore apart the surrounding earth in an instant, unleashing a devastating shockwave.

"Click click click!"

Shooting beams of golden light tore through the ground and shot into the sky, the astonishing destructive shockwaves left behind by the impact.

Charlotte's expression finally relaxed a little; the Navy had lost this battle.

Kaido's arrival completely shattered the fragile balance on the battlefield.

Charlotte knew very well that he needed to quickly turn the tide, and there was no doubt that Garp was quite capable, so his target was Cyborg Kong.

"Kaido, I'm leaving this to you."

Charlotte shouted, and in an instant, he vanished.

Garp was about to make a move when Kaido immediately locked onto him, making a one-on-one battle more in line with his wishes.

Charlotte's retreat greatly excited him.

However, the other naval forces all changed their tune.

The Warring States period, in particular, understood that to achieve a swift victory, they needed to exploit the enemy's weaknesses.

"Berserk Slash!"

Charlotte roared, and countless golden slashes flew continuously toward Steelbone Sky.

Fleet Admiral Kong, the powerful figure who had traversed the seas, finally showed a change in expression.

"Steel Bones - Rampage!"

Steelbone Scarface's face grew even more ferocious, his lightning-fast punches sending gusts of wind through the air.

"Boom!"

Explosions continued to ring out, but Steelbone Kong showed no joy on his face.

Because he was facing attacks from two legendary swordsmen, a battle that lasted all day, and given his current strength, he simply couldn't hold out for much longer.

He knew the navy had been defeated and that his aggressive command had caused heavy losses.

The original 100,000 elite naval troops are now probably less than 50,000.

Steelbone Sky, with a resolute expression, shouted loudly.

"As Fleet Admiral, I hereby order the Navy's elite forces to cover the retreat of all naval personnel."

The thunderous sound reverberated throughout the scene, revealing the unwavering spirit of a marshal, even though he knew that such a retreat would cause the navy to suffer further heavy losses.

But the battle was already on the verge of collapse, and he could not allow the remaining navy to be driven to the brink of destruction.

The naval officers immediately carried out the order, and it was clear to everyone that the navy had truly lost.

The feeling of powerlessness in the face of the Three Sovereigns is incredibly frustrating.

"Withdraw the troops!"

Charlotte was equally astonished; it was indeed a desperate choice, but also the most appropriate one at the moment.

As a veteran admiral who has served since the Rocks era, he possesses both reckless madness and calm judgment when faced with perilous situations.

Only seasoned veterans can make such calm and composed decisions.

Faced with such a situation, the members of the Twin Emperors Pirates would naturally not let go of the opportunity to beat a dog when it's down.

It roared madly and charged toward the navy.

At this moment, the entire naval formation, with its various officers and captains stepping forward, intercepted the pirates' pursuit.

"Steelbow Sky, it's a pity it's too late."

Charlotte moved swiftly and arrived in front of her opponent, then unleashed a powerful strike.

"Clang!"

The sound of fine iron clashing was quite jarring, and its rock-solid body was terrifying.

He truly deserves the name "Steel Bones".

Redfield also appeared on the other side, his blood-red umbrella unleashing a crimson slash.

Steel Bone Void's entire body is filled with muscles and air, and with a loud hum, his Armament Haki intensifies once again.

"boom!"

Having withstood the crimson slash, Steelbone Sky, now fully prepared to fight to the death, appeared incredibly terrifying.

With a quick, powerful swing of his hands, Steel Bone Sky swung them both away.

"The entire navy must withdraw; there is no need to turn back."

He roared, and at that moment all his strength exploded. This veteran, also from a legendary era, was finally ready to fight with all his might.

Countless naval personnel stared in astonishment at the figure with his back to the crowd on the battlefield; they could feel the will of the Air Marshal.

That was a farewell!

"Navy, retreat at full speed!!!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru shouted sternly, "Every minute we delay now will cause huge losses to the navy."

She felt Marshal Kong's firm resolve and knew she couldn't let him down.

The navy began a frantic, mad retreat, with no further hesitation.

Charlotte was slightly alarmed. This guy was squeezing out his life force to achieve the possibility of a final battle, and there was no doubt that such an approach would likely lead to his death from exhaustion.

"Is it finally time to fight to the death, Navy!"

Steelbone Sky remained silent, his cold, murderous face devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to that era when he was full of vigor and had a bright future.

The only way is to fight to the death and buy time for the next generation.

They represent the future of the navy.

Such heavy losses for the navy also require someone to bear the cost, and he is undoubtedly the best choice.

He must pay the price for his recklessness and be punished for his selfishness.

"Let's settle this once and for all, pirates!"

In an instant, a chilling killing intent burst forth, and its powerful aura terrified the weak.

Charlotte's gaze narrowed slightly. Steelbone Void's killing intent was astonishing, and it wasn't hard to imagine that he was an extremely ruthless person in his youth.

"Then let's give it a try, Navy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Crying Fist appeared in Xia Luo's hand, surrounded by an inexplicable aura.

Three figures launched their attack like ghosts.

Blade energy crisscrossed, fist winds were fierce, unleashing a series of destructive waves.

The eerie atmosphere sent chills down one's spine.

This is the simplest and most swift killing technique honed through countless battles.

Each strike was filled with terrifying offensive power.

Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr... the Navy's strongest warriors fought with all their might, buying time.
