The natural system started off strong, but the navy finally reached its peak!

Page 513

The world's greatest swordsman's goal seems to be merely to protect the naval warship behind him.

There was no particularly strong obstruction against their landing on the island.

So, amidst the loud voices and the remnants of the Straw Hat crew representing the shore...

Especially after Usopp, whom the two were most familiar with, interacted...

Dorry and Brogy confirmed that Luffy was deep inside the island and seemed to be in a bad situation.

Then the two giant captains no longer hesitated and left some of their giant crew members behind.

He stepped onto the land of Egherd and strode towards the central area of the island where the energy fluctuations were most intense and the battle sounds were the loudest.

Before setting off, they also heeded Nami's advice and took advantage of the Giant Warrior Pirates' reserves.

They brought some food meant for giants as a "gift" for their meeting.

They believed that Luffy must be just as hungry as he was back when they met in Little Garden.

Eagle Eye stood atop the reef, holding "Night," calmly watching the two giants rumble away into the distance without offering any resistance.

His mission was clear: ensure the safety of the warships and keep an eye on the remnants of the Straw Hat Pirates.

As for who the giants went to see or what they were doing, he didn't care as long as it didn't jeopardize his mission.

The world's greatest swordsman's "laziness" is also a state of mind.

The western side of the island.

Kizaru and Enel's pursuit and entanglement with Kuzan and Aramaki also reached a stalemate.

Kuzan, with his Ice-Ice Fruit's wide-range control and skillful use of terrain,

Combined with the endless harassment from Aramaki's Forest Fruits, they brought guerrilla warfare and delaying tactics to their extreme.

Although Kizaru's speed of light is fast, under complex environments and multiple interferences...

It would also be difficult to quickly lock down and severely injure two opponents who were both generals and were determined to escape.

In an instant, flashes of light and thunder raged, and frost and jungle fur danced wildly.

The four Logia-type Devil Fruit users fought fiercely in this area, but none of them could gain the upper hand, resulting in a dynamic stalemate.

The central area, the core battlefield.

After killing two of the Five Elders, Gern is now facing the biggest trouble since the start of the war.

The source of the trouble was Blackbeard, who was driven to the brink of despair and went completely insane!

A dual Devil Fruit user who has gone completely insane and is willing to die together with his opponent.

The threat it poses far exceeds that of a normal situation!

Although Gern still held the upper hand in terms of strength, he repeatedly inflicted further injuries on Blackbeard during their encounters.

His wounds multiplied, and he continued to vomit blood.

However, he could no longer use the same swift and decisive methods to instantly dismantle his opponents as before.

Blackbeard's desperate fighting style forced him to be more cautious, which greatly increased his energy expenditure.

The most obvious change is...

Since landing on the island, Gern's stamina has started to decline!

His breathing began to become slightly heavy.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and temples.

Even the previously rock-solid aura began to fluctuate.

The continuous bursts of high-intensity power, coupled with the awakening of his Devil Fruit, the drain on his ability to fight the Five Elders' immortality, and now his entangled battle with the mad dog-like Blackbeard...

Even someone as strong as Gern had to show signs of decline!

The lack of physical strength also caused Genie to experience several times.

They all attempted to break through Blackbeard's frantic blockade with a burst of speed.

Head straight for Im, who has been eyeing us menacingly from behind.

Break the deadlock!

But Blackbeard was like a piece of chewing gum that he couldn't shake off.

Every time Gern tries to break through, he is met with an even more frantic counterattack, sometimes even at the cost of injury!

In addition, Itsumade (Maz Saint) and Sandworm (Pete Saint) are really strong as support characters!

They actually managed to stop Gern time and time again!

For a moment, Gern was actually defeated by Blackbeard, this desperate man, along with two weakened Five Elders.

They were bogged down in the center of the battle, unable to break the deadlock quickly, and were mired in a war of attrition.

A stalemate! A complete and utter stalemate!

The eastern and western fronts were locked in a stalemate, while the central battlefield was consumed by attrition.

All of this was observed by Im, who stood high on the edge of the battlefield like a ruler.

At the same time, it naturally also saw that Gern was stuck in a stalemate in the battle.

So, having lost the threat they needed to be wary of, their gaze slowly shifted from Gern to the edge of the battlefield on the other side...

There stood Luffy, completely exhausted, having reverted to Gear 5, old and weak.

“Nika...”

Im's gaze lingered on Luffy, the disgust in his eyes even more pronounced than when he faced Gern.

"Tianzhen Geen... is temporarily entangled by that mad dog."

Although the mad dog was also nearing its end, it was enough to exhaust Tianzhen's strength.

Joy Boy's successor... Nika..."

A hint of mockery flickered in Im's mind.

"Oh……

"If I can't handle the mighty Tianzhen, surely I can handle you, this exhausted 'Sun God'?"

In Im's eyes, Luffy at this moment was as fragile as a candle flickering in the wind.

Let alone resist, they probably wouldn't even be able to move a finger.

A single, decisive blow will eliminate any future threat!

Without any hesitation, Im remained still.

Black tentacles split off again from the mutated swamp's body.

It skimmed along the ground at an astonishing speed, meandering towards the unconscious Luffy in the distant ruins!

......

at the same time

Luffy, who should have just turned around to the position Emmett indicated due to exhaustion,

He still didn't know what the killer move Emmett had told him was.

He sensed the danger with his Observation Haki!

"murderous look……"

Luffy's chapped lips twitched, but no sound came out.

He wanted to move, to dodge, but in his current physical state, he couldn't dodge.

"Hahahaha!!!"

"Crack! C ...

At that moment, two loud laughs rang out from behind Luffy (actually at the feet of the giant)!

Immediately afterwards, Luffy felt the light above his head dim.

Two enormous shadows, like moving city walls, appeared with lightning speed.

One on the left and one on the right, like the most loyal guards, suddenly stood between him and the attacking dark tentacles!

"Shield of the Sun!"

Dorry and Brogy both let out a roar at the same time

They slammed their enormous shields, comparable in size to small ships, into the ground side by side, the shield strikes hitting the tips of the attacking tentacles!

After the shield bash, before the tentacles could change angle or increase power...

Dorry and Brogy had already fully charged up their other hands, which were holding their weapons (a longsword and a giant axe)!

"Azure Demon - Earth-Splitting Slash!"

"Red Demon - Mountain Splitter!"

The two giants glared angrily, their muscles bulging, their weapons transforming into two intersecting streaks, flashing with cold light!

The dark tentacles were cleanly severed into three pieces!

Crisis resolved!

Dorry and Brogy retrieved their weapons and shields, their massive bodies turning towards Luffy, who was slumped on the robot's chest and was barely the size of their fingernails.

Dorry bent down, his enormous face close, his copper bell-like eyes scrutinizing Luffy's withered and aged appearance.

He paused for a moment, then broke into a hearty, even slightly mischievous smile.

"Hey! Straw Hat Boy! Long time no see!"

"How did you become such a withered old man? This is nothing like you!"

Brogy, also carrying an axe, laughed loudly, "Crack! Looks like you need to replenish your energy!"

Luffy blinked weakly, looking at the two familiar yet enormous faces before him.

First I got excited, then I collapsed back to my original state.

“Dongli…Broki…you…how…”

"Of course I'm here to pick you up, Sun God!"

"Don't say anything yet! Eat first!"

Without saying a word, Dongli directly handed over the food he had brought.

A giant meat steak, bigger than Luffy himself, was thrown down.
