Chapter 693 Encirclement and suppression(1/2)
Dragon Man Kaido flew upside down, his face was distorted, and he was in severe pain. He couldn't even open his eyes, and he didn't know where he was. The kick to his side made his brain freeze.
"boom!"
On the Oni Island, the huge skull was suddenly punched through a hole. Amidst the screams of countless pirates from the Hundred Beast Pirates, Kaido transformed into the most solid cannonball and was embedded in the depths of the Oni Island.
But unable to wait for the Beast Pirates to rescue their boss, it was like a slash of a crescent moon, following Kaido's trajectory and sinking into the ghost island.
The entire ghost island began to tremble, and countless pirates were accidentally killed because they could not dodge.
Even the sea waterfall in Wano Country in the distance stopped flowing for a moment. It seemed that even the flowing water was cut off by Skyler with his sword. The sharp sword force, accompanied by the sea wind, blew through every pirate's body.
, pierce into their hearts.
Some timid pirates were no longer able to hold the weapons in their hands at this time, and the sound of gold and iron colliding with the ground continued to sound, like a desolate piece of music.
On the other side of the ghost island, Smoker, who had turned into a sky full of smoke, couldn't help but stop his steps and pay attention to his surroundings vigilantly, as if he was also afraid of being hurt by the sword.
But the sailors in the detachment he led were fighting feverishly as if on stimulants. This made Smoker suddenly suspicious. Could it be that he was a coward?
Also not stopping were the combatants led by Jinbei. They did not follow the pattern of treating prisoners preferentially just because the pirates were frightened.
The evil must be eradicated! This is the policy of action that the Zhanye detachment has been implementing for so many years.
Even if they are facing pirates who have lost their will to fight and even throw down their weapons on their own initiative, the Zhanye detachment does not know what it means to be soft-hearted and use blades, fists, feet or guns to harvest the lives of the villains one after another.
Regardless of whether the headquarters requires these pirates to be captured alive, perhaps for the headquarters, the survival of some pirates will allow them to reveal more information.
But for the Zhanye detachment, enforcing the officer's justice is the highest priority action. To them, whether he is captured alive or not is just a subtle difference in the level of reward.
As for rewarding Zanye detachment, they have not valued this for many years, because the headquarters has already owed too many rewards to Zanye detachment. Killing the pirates can also reduce the debt pressure of the headquarters.
And as everyone in the Zhanye detachment was strangled, the pirates who had already put down their weapons also realized that the Zhanye detachment had no intention of giving them a way to survive.
But when they picked up weapons and wanted to fight back, they found that it was in vain.
It was clearly a detachment of only a thousand people, but when they challenged the Beast Pirates, whose number was nearly twenty times theirs, they did not show any sign of weakness. Instead, they defeated them with constant slashes like sharp knives.
"Hahaha~hahaha~"
A group of people burst into laughter because of the failure of the artificial Devil Fruit transformation. Tears were constantly flowing from their eyes at this time. In the midst of laughter, they played the GG of life.
The Givers could still play some role, allowing a small number of melee team members to get their hands on them, but before they could pursue them, beams of light took away their lives.
As for the extremely small but huge numberers, they became the target of the positron cannon. Even if they were lucky enough to escape, the extending buildings would be directly annihilated.
"It's amazing."
On the golden warship, Mihawk, who was looking at the direction in which Kaido fell, exclaimed in admiration. As for Skyler's single blow that caused the "feat" that it took him several hours to complete, Mihawk was not convinced.
Feel surprised.
In other words, Skyler's slashes were not enough to surprise or admire him. After all, the slashes displayed by Skyler were only at an ordinary level.
The only thing that could make Mihawk show respect were perhaps two swords. One was the sword that Skyler used to kill Whitebeard two years ago, and the other was a slash that had not yet been struck.
Skyler's ability to create such a massive effect relies more on his power and speed, which are even more terrifying than Kaido's. This kind of physique is enough for Mihawk to marvel at.
Mihawk has known Skyler for a long time, and their first meeting can even be traced back to the day Roger was executed twenty-four years ago.
Therefore, he knew what Skyler's physical talent was. Unlike the swordsmanship talent that Mihawk once felt was in danger and finally surpassed him, Skyler's physical talent was not amazing.
In kendo, Skyler showed early on that she had the talent to be a leader, but in terms of physical training, she has always been a chaser.
That talent, which was not considered too strong, was developed to the extreme by Skyler. It was developed enough to catch up with the small group of people at the top of the sea. It was actually amazing enough.
But the sudden change two years ago made Skyler's body even more powerful than imagined, powerful enough to defeat Kaido, which was enough for Mihawk to say he was amazing.
When Skyler heard Mihawk's praise, she smiled and nodded. She understood that although Mihawk said something great, she was not convinced in her heart.
It is estimated that after Mihawk returns, in addition to studying ways to improve his swordsmanship, physical training will also be put back on his agenda.
Skyler didn't say anything about this. After all, she was also curious about whether Mihawk's talent could allow him to reach places that no one before him had ever set foot on.
After all, the emperor and generals of the sea are the benchmark for the pinnacle of the sea. All powerful people have set this benchmark as their goal. After reaching it, everyone seems to naturally stagnate.
Even Roger and even Garp have difficulty escaping from this benchmark. It seems that everyone thinks that after reaching this level, they only need to consider maintaining their own status and do not think about taking a step further.
At most, it was just on the same floor, with a few more steps, but Skyler felt that she had climbed to a higher level. She was curious whether others could do the same.
Perhaps thirty years earlier, Garp, who had learned this news, would have chased after him and most likely climbed up. Unfortunately, Garp is too old now.
Although his monster-like talent allows him to maintain his condition better than others, there is nothing Garp can do if he wants to make further progress.
Like Karp, there are many people, such as people of his contemporaries, or Sakaski, Porusalino, etc., who are gradually beginning to enter old age.
There is no time or energy for them to catch up with Skyler's height.
As for the younger ones, they are either the new generation of young people like Ace and Luo who have not yet fully developed and grown up, or they are "mediocre people" like Eniro who have obvious talents but lack of ambition.
Therefore, in Skyler's eyes, if we don't wait for the growth of Ace, Law and Luffy, the only person who may try to reach the same level as her in a short period of time is Mihawk.
Mihawk is not young, but he is far from the age to start taking care of his old age. His talent lies in the sea, and he can be regarded as the best in countless eras in history.
The most important thing is that Skyler knows that Mihawk is as competitive as she is. When he finds that he is not at the top of the mountain, he will definitely try his best to climb. Skyler has known this for a long time.
Apart from anything else, Mihawk's accomplishments in slashing and non-cutting, as well as his integration of various other techniques, are not comparable to what he himself was two years ago.
Mihawk's talent allows him to complete a large amount of savings in just two years. In Skyler's view, Mihawk now only needs to make the final touches before he may cause a qualitative change.
But to what extent quantitative change requires accumulation, and what kind of process qualitative change is, Skyler herself cannot tell, so there is no better way except to show Mihawk her current level.
Skyler now understands that Mihawk's behavior of searching for young swordsmen everywhere and setting goals for them is not just for show, but out of curiosity and expectation.
Although she is not so obsessed with cultivating an enemy of her future self like Mihawk, she is looking forward to "the same kind". After all, she can't even find anyone to discuss it now.
If it was really necessary, Skyler wouldn't even mind showing off her strongest slash and letting Mihawk's eagle eyes analyze it, but now no enemy could bear her slash.
Thinking of this, Skyler gently adjusted his sunglasses, looked in the direction of Kaido's fall, and said half-jokingly: "I'm really worried about killing Kaido accidentally."
"Perhaps we should give him a way out, so that he can only retreat if he needs to show stronger strength?"
Mihawk suggested very seriously that he had previously wanted to provoke Kaido to make him stronger, but Skyler was obviously not suitable for this.
"It's worth considering, but I won't allow him to escape."
Skyler nodded. With Kaido's current strength, she didn't need to spend the expected four days to clean it up. She had enough time.
But she didn't want to be self-defeating. Letting go is a technical job, especially letting go of people like Kaido. If you let it go less, Kaido won't be fooled. If you let it go too much, he can really seize the opportunity.
Therefore, it is extremely difficult to create a false opportunity for Kaido. If Kizaru is there to guide him, maybe Skyler can do a good job.
But she, and Mihawk, are not very good at this. Let alone the enemy, they rarely show off to their own people or friends.
At this time, someone finally slowly approached the place where Kaido fell, which had been silent for a long time.
"Boss Kaido! Boss Kaido!"
Equipped with a mechanical left arm that obviously didn't match well, Jack kept turning over the ruins of the building, trying to find Kaido.
And when he opened the first floor of the ceiling, he finally saw Kaido.
At this time, Kaido was lying in the blood and wine. It was obvious that he was in a wine storage room, with broken bottles and barrels, and spirits constantly pouring out.
The strong alcohol washed over Kaido's body, turning his wounds that had been bleeding out until they turned white. His mechanical left arm, which was soaked in a lot of alcohol, flickered with arcs of electricity from time to time.
The mace Hazaijie, which had a section cut off, was smashed into the ground at this time. Only one handle was still on the ground. Kaido's right hand was holding half a barrel, and he opened his mouth wide and swallowed.
Drinking liquor.
"Boss Kaido! Are you okay?!"
Jack instantly jumped down, hugged Kaido, and made him sit up. Originally, he wanted to pick Kaido up directly, but Kaido's struggle forced Jack, who was still seriously injured, to let go.
Kaido, who was sitting on the ground, had a drunken blush on his face, and looked at Jack with his eyes, but Jack couldn't bear to look at him because Kaido was in such a sorry state at this time.
The eyeball of the right eye was completely red due to blood congestion, but only the pupil was faded like a painting after the tide, light and turbid, and the signs of rupture of the eyeball were also very obvious.
Although the left eye was not actually damaged, as long as you look at Kaido's left eye, you can't help but see his ugly right eye, as well as the missing corner and wound on his forehead.
"Jack, am I a failure? Why did Jhindu choose to betray me?"
Kaido didn't seem to notice Jack's evasive eyes and said in a disappointed tone. Jack immediately shook his head and said, "No, Boss Kaido, it's Jhin's own problem!"
"Abel spent so many years with me, but I finally let him down."
Kaido's tone was still disappointed, and Jack retorted: "No! It was that bastard who disappointed everyone!"
"And Derek, I obviously trust him so much, but he"
"Drake?"
Jack was stunned for a moment. Wasn't Drake still fighting side by side with Boss Kaido just now? He was also beaten by the navy. Then because of the subsequent battles, he didn't have the extra energy to pay attention, but Drake was not one of his own.
?
Kaido noticed Jack's confused expression and said: "He is a marine, he has always been a marine! I trust him so much! I even let him take over the position of Yan Calamity!"
"What?!"
Jack was shocked, Drake was actually a marine?! And he had always been a marine. In other words, from the moment he joined the Beasts Pirates, he was already an undercover?
This undercover agent has been undercover for so many years and has become the second in command of the Beast Pirates?!
For a moment, Jack didn't know how to digest the news. After all, in his opinion, Drake was a young man in a very similar situation to him.
