Pirates' Max Level System

Ayidu, who had stopped Akainu, was very angry when he saw someone coming to rescue Kizaru. But when he saw that Aokiji, who came to rescue Kizaru, was a user of the Ice Fruit, in addition to anger, Ayidu showed a strong desire and murderous intent for the first time.

The body of the user with the ability of the Ice Fruit belonged to him, Ayi Du.

In order to keep Aokiji, Ayidu opened his mouth and gave orders to the owner of the tentacles without any concealment.

Immediately before Aokiji took Kizaru out of the realm of death, three tentacles sprang out of the sea at the same time, all aiming directly at Aokiji, rather than fighting for the unconscious Kizaru.

In the moment of crisis, Aokiji used his ability to create an ice peak. Aokiji stayed on the top of the ice peak and barely escaped from the gap between the three tentacles.

After their first strike failed, the three tentacles retreated back to the surface. Aokiji was currently hovering in mid-air using the "Moon Step," but if he lowered his altitude even slightly, the tentacles would surely attack again.

After unleashing his Devil Fruit power twice in the Death Realm, Aokiji had already exhausted most of his stamina. He also had to Moonwalk with a wounded soldier to Marshal Kong Kong's vehicle, which was a difficult task for him in his current state. Aokiji felt like Kizaru had become a hot potato, and he didn't dare let go.

"It's you who's controlling the monsters under the sea, the undead." Akainu angrily expressed his suspicions during the attack. This undead was distracted from controlling the sea monsters to deal with other people during the battle with Akainu. This showed how much he looked down on Akainu, especially since that person was Aokiji.

The main reason was that Ayi Du's abnormality was too obvious. He was giving orders to the monster under the sea in an inaudible way in front of Akainu. Even a fool could guess that it was Ayi Du who was commanding the monster with tentacles from a distance.

Ayi Du ignored Akainu, but what Akainu said was absolutely right.

The owner of the tentacles was the black shadow half the size of the fleet that had been lurking beneath the naval fleet. It was the ancestor of the deep-sea monsters, an octopus-shaped sea king variant called "Paul" by the ghost fleet.

Paul is the earliest octopus-like sea monster, and all subsequent deep-sea monsters are considered his descendants. Monsters like Paul will grow an extra tentacle every ten years from birth, and the size of the tentacle will increase every hundred years.

Paul currently has hundreds of tentacles, which is why when he stretches out all his tentacles, he can reach the size of half a naval fleet.

All in all, ghost ships, undead, and deep-sea monsters—it sounds like a perfect match, doesn’t it?

Qin Luo certainly could not have imagined what kind of terrifying monsters he had awakened from the shipwreck sea. Now that these monsters were awake, it was impossible for them to go back to sleep so easily.

The navy's patience was exhausted, and Marshal Steel, Air Admiral Zephyr, Garp and other vice admirals were sent out to eliminate the undead who had taken over the bodies. Zephyr went to support Aokiji, while Garp, who was not a devil fruit user, went to cause trouble for Ayidu.

"Fist bone, extra large iron ball."

With an angry shout, while the Kapu people were still on their way, a huge black shadow rushed towards Ayi Du.

Ayi Du hurriedly used his black shield to protect himself, but who could explain why such a large cannonball was flying towards him? A human-sized black shield could not completely block such a huge object.

The moment Ayi Du's black shield came into contact with the oversized iron ball, the black shield absorbed part of the impact, and the rest directly knocked Ayi Du away. The oversized iron ball exploded in the middle and enveloped Ayi Du.

When the smoke from the explosion cleared, Ayi Du stood on the sea with bruises all over his body. The realm of death had dissipated. He used his last strength to repair himself, and finally restored the rotten flesh of his body to a human form.

Chapter 403: The Monster Siege

The situation on the field was reversed in an instant. Originally, Akainu and Aokiji were in danger, but now it was Ayi Du who became a stray dog.

From the moment the death domain dissipated, the strange power that restricted the devil fruit abilities of Akainu and Aokiji also disappeared.

Aokiji and Akainu felt a sense of comfort all over their bodies, and the energy that had been suppressed in their bodies for a long time gushed out. The sky and fog in the sea where they were were dyed red and blue.

"Monster, I'll smash your bones into powder before you come out and scare people again."

Garp was not affected by the Death Field, and was already moving quickly before the giant iron ball hit Ayidu. Therefore, it was not surprising that Garp appeared next to Ayidu faster than Akainu.

In a cluster of black smoke that had not yet completely dissipated next to Ayidu, Garp's right fist wrapped in armed color domineering shattered the smoke and hit Ayidu's face.

Ayidu gave a helpless smile. His energy was almost depleted and even his perception had decreased a lot. He didn't notice it until Garp was in front of him. Ayidu's current physical condition was naturally unable to defend against this punch.

Garp's "Fist Bone Meteor Hammer" hit Ayidu's left cheek hard, and Ayidu, who had just stood still, was knocked out again.

After crashing into two navy warships and three ghost ships in succession, Ayi Du's retreating figure finally stopped on the last ghost ship. However, the ghost ship that served as Ayi Du's landing point was also completely shattered in the violent collision and slowly sank into the sea.

Ayidu lay on the wreckage of the ghost ship, unable to move, the flesh on his left cheek completely gone. Under Garp's full-strength punch just now, the flesh on Ayidu's left cheek turned directly into minced meat and disappeared into the air, revealing the bones inside, and there were some slight cracks on the exposed bones.

"My main body is injured. This punch won't just let it go." Ayi Du felt a strange sensation coming from his left cheek. As an undead, he naturally didn't have the luxury of pain, but the injury to his main body still made him very uncomfortable.

A large amount of black substance flowed out of the mouth of the demon skull on top of the bone scepter in his hand, wrapping Ayi Du. He no longer had enough energy to repair his own injuries, especially since the injuries also affected his body.

Although the air was filled with thick fog and Ayidu was sent flying far away by Garp, Garp, Akainu and Aokiji had already locked onto Ayidu's presence. As long as the distance was within one kilometer, the three of them could instantly find Ayidu with their observation Haki.

Garp's move had just landed a direct hit, leaving no one unharmed except Liuyun and Qin Luo. Garp, Akainu, and Aokiji estimated that Ayidu was no longer able to stand. With the intention of eradicating the problem completely, the three of them rushed directly in the direction of Ayidu, intending to deliver a final blow even if he was still able to move.

Garp alternated between Moon Step and Shave, using the air and the naval ships as his platform to walk in front. Akainu transformed into a flying meteorite and followed Garp. After handing Kizaru over to Zephyr, Aokiji's feet erupted from the sea, carrying him like a skateboard, and he shot away.

Ayi Du stood up. The injuries on his body had healed and the black substance had disappeared. However, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but the previously white bone scepter had become dull and lifeless, and some slight cracks appeared on the demon skull on the top of the scepter.

Looking at the approaching Garp, Akainu, and Aokiji, Ayidu's expression was ferocious, and he had the urge to tear the three of them apart with his own hands. Considering that his strength had not yet fully recovered, Ayidu forced himself to suppress the thought in his heart.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After a few blinks, his eyes, which had been brimming with fire, became as still as a pool of stagnant water. With his mouth slightly open, he relayed his silent commands one by one.

"Your bones are tough, but I wonder how many punches you can take."

"I'll return all the humiliation I just suffered to you, Big Spitfire."

"Ice Age."

Garp, Akainu, and Aokiji surrounded Ayidu from three directions simultaneously, blocking all his escape routes. Garp was filled with fighting spirit, Akainu was filled with rage, and Aokiji was filled with a biting chill, all of them exerting their full strength in an instant.

"You will all become tributes to the Lady of Death." Ayi Du simply ignored the destructive attacks of the three people, and a cold voice came out faintly from his mouth.

Just as Garp, Akainu, and Aokiji's attacks were within twenty meters of Ayidu, more than ten tentacles shot out from the sea like sharp arrows. Each tentacle was five or six meters thick, instantly filling the area where the four were.

Garp, Akainu and Aokiji were each besieged by four or five tentacles, the teeth and barbs on the tentacles emitting a cold light.

Thinking that if they were hit once, they would suffer the same fate as Kizaru, the three of them felt a chill in their hearts, knowing that besieging Ayidu was no longer realistic, and turned their attacks to the incoming tentacles, temporarily resolving the immediate crisis.

After the three of them escaped the tentacles, they looked back at the place where Ayi Du had been. He was nowhere to be seen, and even the wreckage of the ghost ship had vanished. The moment the tentacles appeared, one of them carried Ayi Du away into the sea, and the wreckage was further smashed and sank into the sea.

Garp, Akainu, and Aokiji each retreated a distance to prevent Ayidu's surprise attack. However, the surprise attack did not come. The tentacles that they thought had escaped the attack range once again emerged from the sea below their feet.

Each of them was surrounded by six tentacles. As the space widened, the tentacles' attacks became more fluid and organized. Like two human hands, these tentacles coordinated tacitly, bringing down a torrential onslaught on the three men, wave after wave, without pause.

Faced with such an attack, it would be difficult for Garp, Akainu and Aokiji to even dodge, let alone fight back.

At this time, Ayi Du was brought by the tentacles to the tentacle's body, the head of the deep-sea monster named "Paul".

Suddenly, some light appeared on the dark seabed. It turned out that the deep-sea devil, which had been silent all the time, opened its eyes. Its eight eyes, as big as cars, emitted a deep yellow light.

"Paul, long time no see. Lady Death must have been waiting for a long time."

Ayi Du's tone was as if he had met an old friend. His hand touched the head of the deep-sea monster. The scene was indescribably strange.

The response to Ayi Du was the actions of the deep-sea monsters.

In the naval fleet, nearly a hundred tentacles rose into the sky, and there was a tentacle next to almost every naval warship.

Chapter 404: Embarrassing Defense

As soon as these tentacles appeared, they began to lash out at the nearby naval ships frantically.

Large naval warships were already riddled with holes by these tentacles, and ordinary small naval warships were even turned into pieces by the tentacles' attacks.

Even some naval warships were joined by multiple tentacles, forcibly dragging the warships into the sea. Once these tentacles succeeded, the lives of the naval soldiers on the warships would basically be gone.

In the waters where the naval fleet is currently located, shipwrecks and casualties are almost certain to occur continuously. Once a naval vessel is reduced to pieces, the sailors on board who do not have time to reach other warships before falling into the sea will only die.

The navy knew that the waters beneath their fleets were teeming with monsters like deep-sea monsters and ghost ship undead. Unless they were at the level of a lieutenant colonel, any navy soldier who was dragged into the water or fell into the water had no chance of escape.

From the beginning of the battle until now, the navy has lost count of how many lives have been taken by the deep waters beneath their feet. It is as if a demon dwells beneath this sea, and those who fall into it will die.

To ordinary marines, each tentacle was equivalent to a sea king. Both were equally massive, both possessed devastating power, both were equally agile in the sea, and both had the same stench.

And it wasn't just the deep-sea monster named "Paul" that took action. Other deep-sea monsters, three-headed sea snakes, and manta fish also emerged from the sea to join the hunt for food. Only the sneak-attack Skeleton Demon Fish remained in the dark, focusing only on taking out the navy soldiers deployed to the sea.

The killer's most powerful weapons are patience and concealment. Among the many underwater monsters summoned by Qin Luo, the Skeleton Demon Fish is not very powerful, even at the bottom. But whether in terms of number or the survival of the tribe, the Skeleton Demon Fish far exceeds several of the most powerful creatures.

“So this play is really difficult to perform.”

At this time, the navy ship Qin Luo was on was also under attack from two tentacles. Seeing the tentacles that could be dealt with with a single blow or even a single word, he, as "Major Sato," had to act as if he couldn't handle them. The strong stench made Qin Luo feel nauseous.

The strongest combat force on the navy warship where Qin Luo was currently was a lieutenant colonel. Objectively speaking, he was "absolutely" unable to deal with Paul's tentacles. As a result, this ordinary navy warship happened to be attacked by two tentacles. It was really unlucky.

It is not easy for Qin Luo to directly control the location and number of tentacles that appear. Even "Paul" may not be able to confirm where his tentacles appear and who they will attack. These are all random.

However, if it weren't for Qin Luo, Major Sato's "occasional" outburst before his death, the entire warship would probably have been dragged into the sea and eaten by other monsters hidden in the sea.

In this situation, asking Kizaru to rescue the various naval warships is actually the best option, but Kizaru is now seriously injured and unconscious, so how can he save people?

The firefighter job was assigned to other lieutenant generals by Zhan Guo and Gang Gu Kong. Regardless of whether these lieutenant generals were willing or not, the current situation did not allow them to think too much.

So the fire brigade was set up, but Qin Luo couldn't guarantee its efficiency. It was estimated that it would not be as fast as Kizaru could handle it alone.

The warship Qin Luo was on was just a microcosm of the entire naval fleet. Similar things were happening on nearly a hundred naval warships, and some of them were even facing much greater dangers than Qin Luo's.

Continuous screams drifted across the sea of ​​the battlefield, but the heavy fog made it impossible to see where the shouts came from, which undoubtedly made the uneasy people even more violent.

At this time, Navy Marshal Kong Kong's vehicle, "Navy No. 1", was also facing the danger of being forcibly dragged into the sea.

No less than twenty-six tentacles are besieging "Navy No. 1", of which fifteen or sixteen belong to "Paul", and the rest are tentacles of ordinary deep-sea monsters.

Navy One stood out among the other naval vessels, standing out as unique and powerful. Its position was also smack in the middle of the entire fleet. Those sea monsters weren't clueless, and they immediately recognized the uniqueness of Navy One.

Those tentacles and sea monsters are either eager to show off their achievements to their master or looking for more delicious tastes, so who else can they mess with if not you, "Navy No. 1" this time?

"Shockwave."

At this time, Zhan Guo had transformed into the form of a giant Buddha. A shock wave with thunderous force knocked a tentacle away, preventing the tentacle from entangled with "Navy No. 1".

"If this goes on, there will be no end." Seeing that after one tentacle was repelled, another one appeared, Zhan Guo said to Marshal Ganggu Kong breathlessly.

While they were talking, the three-headed sea serpent found its chance and bit Zhan Guo. However, Zhan Guo didn't care. As long as it didn't attack "Marine One", Zhan Guo was confident that he could slowly deal with all these tentacles and sea monsters by himself.

……

In the form of a giant Buddha, the golden Warring States had increased his physical strength to a terrifying level. Coupled with the armament domineering aura, the three-headed sea snake that attacked him had its teeth broken directly.

Zhan Guo turned around and slapped the three-headed sea snake with its teeth broken, pulling it back to the bottom of the sea.

"Do you have any better ideas?"

Gang Gukong felt a little regretful that he should not have lost his patience and sent out the Navy Vice Admiral. Now, in such a big "Navy No. 1" which was being given special care, there were only two high-end combat forces, him and Zhan Guo, who could come out to deal with it.

"I've seen that these larger tentacles should all be from a big guy. If we only attack its tentacles, I guess we'll be dead." After repelling another giant sea monster that treated "Marine No. 1" as a cake and wanted to take a bite of it, Zhan Guo said to Marshal Steel Bone Kong while panting.

"Finger gun. Do you mean to attack the main bodies of these tentacles?" Marshal Gang Gukong used his finger gun to cut off a smaller tentacle that was only two or three meters thick in half and then looked at Zhan Guo.

"Yes." It's not that Zhan Guo was frugal with words, but that he was fighting with three tentacles this time.

"Lan Jiao·Battle Axe." Gang Gukong did not rest. After dealing with the monster in his hand, he immediately went to help Zhan Guo.

Cyborg Sora was getting anxious. If this continued, even if these monsters were eliminated, most of the entire navy fleet would probably be dragged down by these monsters to be buried with them.

Chapter 405: A Different Akainu

Looking at the worried and angry expression on Marshal Ganggu Kong's face, Zhan Guo knew what Ganggu Kong was thinking.

After sending a shockwave from his right palm, sending a tentacle lashing towards the cockpit flying, Zhan Guo comforted Cyborg Sora, saying, "Don't worry. It's just the two of us here now. Even if we have any plans, we can't carry them out. Let's wait for them to come back. I've already sent the signal."

The "they" mentioned by Sengoku naturally refers to Garp, Aokiji, and Akainu. As for the fire brigade composed of the other vice admirals, it's not that Sengoku looks down on their strength, but the current navy fleet really needs this fire brigade. Otherwise, his plan won't even begin, and the entire navy fleet will be submerged in the sea.

As for the signal, Zhan Guo didn't say anything. When he saw so many tentacles besieging "Navy One", Zhan Guo knew that he and Marshal Kong Kong alone could not defend this flagship of the Navy. So he fired the signal flare that had been agreed upon.

When Garp went to rescue Kizaru, Sengoku told Garp that things were not going to be easy tonight and asked him to pay attention to the signal flares. With Sengoku's instructions, and the fact that the signal flares were shining with colorful lights in the foggy night sky, Garp would not fail to notice them.

"Aokiji, Akainu, listen to me, something might have happened on Marine One, we need to rush back."

Garp's whole body was covered with Armament Haki. Just when he was about to be hit directly in the face by the tentacle, he forcibly smashed the two tentacles that were attacking him from the front and back.

Garp's left and right fists were condensed with extremely strong Armament Haki. The two tentacles hit by his Fist Bone Iron Fist first showed cracks, and then exploded into a rain of flesh and blood.

At this time, three tentacles that were frozen and then cut off were floating on the sea. The strong smell of burnt squid filled the mist, and the sea water in this area was dyed dark green by the flesh and blood of the deep-sea devil.

Of the more than ten tentacles that had previously besieged Garp, Aokiji, and Akainu, only seven remained. Aokiji and Akainu each dealt with three, while the stronger Garp shattered the rest.

"Who fired the flare just now, Marshal Ganggukong or General Xianshi?"

Aokiji sprayed ice crystals from his hands, pushing himself to avoid the attacking tentacles while freezing a part of the tentacles, and took advantage of the gap to ask Garp.

The frozen tentacle was very cunning, and it immediately left without giving Aokiji the chance to hurt it further. It retreated into the sea for a while to deal with the frozen ice, and then rejoined the battle. This was also a headache for Aokiji. Such a cunning monster, if you don't seize the best opportunity to freeze the entire tentacle, a little frostbite will be of no use to it.

"It's Sengoku." Garp panted as he dodged the siege of tentacles. He was a little anxious when he saw the signal just now. Although he fought off two tentacles, he was not having a good time either.

He was hit head-on by a tentacle, and not only did cracks appear on the Armament Haki covering his body, but the teeth on the tentacle directly pierced through the Armament Haki, making a hole in his waist.

"Are you sure?" Akainu's right hand, transformed into magma, helped Garp block a tentacle that was about to attack. However, a tentacle this big, except for the fact that it suddenly emerged from the seabed, it was a bit unexpected. It would not be easy to attack from outside.

"Of course, neither Zhan Guo nor I are the kind of people who would joke at a time like this." Seeing someone helping him block the attack, Garp got a moment to treat his wounds and catch his breath.

Garp tore off his clothes and tied them around his waist to stop the bleeding temporarily, then took out Garp's healing medicine from his arms. Uh, why does it look like senbei?

Akainu didn't expect that old man Garp was still acting funny at this time. Listening to the "crunch, crunch" sound of Garp eating senbei, Akainu thought he was stupid and ran over to help Garp block the attack of the tentacles.

"Thank you very much, Akainu. Would you like one?" Garp thanked Akainu for his help and threw a piece of senbei over. The scene looked like he was about to have a cigar.
