Chapter 226 Running away

Chapter 226 Running away
"……it is good!"

Eagle carried the black knife diagonally on his back. Although it was much shorter than the original Supreme Sword, as a Seraphim, Eagle was still much shorter than his knife.

"Come with me, we have to dismantle that damn signal device first, otherwise it will only be a waste of time even if we escape."

The crocodile who successfully persuaded the eagle also breathed a sigh of relief. After tricking the eagle onto the boat, the rest would be easy. This guy was strong enough. With him around, even if the crocodile ran into Crocodile as soon as it went out to sea, it would be confident enough to escape unscathed.

Although the prototypes are all Shichibukai, the strength gap between the Seraphim is even greater than the strength gap between the prototypes, especially the Eagle who inherited the swordsmanship of the prototype. Except for the Snake Girl and the Little Bear, any two Seraphim joining forces are not his match.

The crocodile even doubted that his prototype might not be able to defeat the eagle. After going out to sea, with such a powerful fighter on the boat, there was basically no need to worry too much about safety issues.

The most important thing is that the eagle is only interested in swordsmanship, and the crocodile does not have to worry that the eagle will compete with him for the dominance of the team.

"After I go out to sea, I will go find the prototype."

Hawk nodded. He didn't want to be forced to return before meeting his prototype.

"Okay, but you have to listen to me after we go out to sea. I'll help you find the prototype, but if my prototype comes to you, you have to help me kill him!"

The crocodile agreed to the eagle's request without hesitation. As long as he could trick the eagle onto the boat, he would have the final say on when to go and whether Hawkeye could be found.

"it is good."

The eagle didn't care about the crocodile's schemes or plots. The worst outcome would be that he would have to fight strong enemies frequently. For the eagle who only wanted to improve his swordsmanship, the stronger the enemy, the happier he would be.

Just as several Seraphim reached an agreement and prepared to escape, the army general Iron Fist Ryulu who was fighting Kaido also fell into a crazy rampage.

Although the army had prepared a backup plan to blow up the city wall when it was designed and built, this was only an option as a last resort.

After all, the explosion would not only kill a large number of enemies climbing onto the city walls, but would also mean that the garrisoning army would be completely wiped out.

Unlike the navy which is wealthy and powerful, has branches all over the world and has three admirals at its headquarters, the army has always been unpopular in the world government system. Not only does it have only one army general, but even the army marshal is sometimes available and sometimes not.

In order to perform well in front of the World Government and the Five Elders in this battle, the Army has already put all its savings on the line. Even the officers and soldiers stationed at the Army Headquarters have come out in full force. More than 80% of the Army's elites have gathered on the city wall of just a few dozen kilometers.

Now, as this series of explosions sounded, the pirates on the city wall suffered heavy casualties, and the main force of the army was also almost completely killed or wounded.

This is no longer a serious injury or a major break. Even if the world government increases its support for the army after the war, in the foreseeable decades, the army, with only two or three cats and cats left at the headquarters, cannot expect to recover.

"Go to hell! You damned scumbags! Iron Fist Explosive Fist!"

The runaway Iron Fist Ryuluo vented all his anger on Kaido in front of him. If it weren't for this damned low-life pirate, with Iron Fist Ryuluo's strength he would have been able to save a group of people before the explosion as the seeds for the army's revival.

"Who are you calling a scoundrel? Thunderous gossip!"

Facing the runaway Iron Fist Ryuluo, Kaido not show any fear at all, but instead reveals a malicious grin on his face.

What Kaido likes most is that his opponents take the initiative to confront him head-on. In this sea, except for the monster Boros, Kaido has never retreated in a similar battle so far.

Even when facing Boros, Baishou had the courage to confront the overlord of the universe head-on, but unfortunately he really couldn't defeat him.

If it weren't for the fact that the consequences of being pinned to the ground by Boros were too tragic every time, Kaido might still be the same iron-headed kid until now.

'boom! ’

The black iron fist collided with the mace that was also wrapped in black lightning, and the two top-level domineering auras collided fiercely on the battlefield.

The aftermath of the collision cracked the ground beneath the feet of the two men, and countless cracks spread in all directions. The surrounding land was shaved off a thick layer by the explosive wind caused by the collision.

As a veteran who is from the same era as Cyborg Kong but is able to suppress Marshal Kong in terms of combat power, Iron Fist Liu Luo in his prime can be ranked among the top even among the top powerhouses.

However, he is too old. Although he has a strong enough foundation, coupled with years of training and actual combat, he can still stand firmly in the circle of top powerhouses.

However, it is obviously not a wise choice to go head-to-head with Kaido, the "strongest creature on land, sea and air".

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Feeling the huge strange power coming from the fist, Iron Fist Ryuluo almost bit his teeth before he could barely withstand Kaido's full-strength attack.

The previous fierce battle with the four Impure World Ninjas and Namikaze Minato had already consumed a lot of Iron Fist Ryuluo's physical strength. In addition, time is unforgiving, and Iron Fist Ryuluo is not like Steel Bone Kong who was restored to youth by "Pure Gold".

Dragging this old and frail body, Iron Fist Ryuluo could fight Kaido on equal terms at the beginning, but as time went on, this level of fighting became more and more burdensome for Ryuluo.

Especially after watching the last spark of the army being wiped out in the explosion, the irrational Iron-Fisted Ryuluo actually gave up his only advantage and chose to fight Kaido head-on. The natural consequence was that he was crushed by Kaido with his terrifying strength and physique.

"That's it... old man!"

The mace in Kaido's hand suppressed Iron Fist Ryuluo tightly. At the same time, his body suddenly expanded a lot, and his whole body was covered with a layer of azure dragon scales.

Before Iron Fist Ryuluo could react, the thick dragon tail behind Kaido had already brought with it a fierce gust of wind and blew towards Iron Fist Ryuluo.

'boom! '

With the blessing of Kaido's amazing super strength, the dragon tail wrapped in the domineering aura is no less powerful than the mace.

With just one strike, Iron Fist Ryuluo was blasted into the ruins of the collapsed city wall, and then Kaido in human-beast form turned into a blue dragon hundreds of meters long.

"Hot breath!"

Kaido in dragon form took a deep breath, and the upper half of his body swelled up like a balloon. Then, a breath of blazing fire instantly engulfed the place where Iron Fist Ryuluo was.

The ruins filled with alloy bricks and rubble instantly caught fire. Under the burning heat of thousands of degrees, even the incredibly strong alloy bricks gradually melted and deformed in the flames.

According to Kaido's observation Haki, Iron-Fist Ryuluo's aura was rapidly decreasing at an alarming speed.

No matter how strong one's attainment in Armament Haki is, it still requires sufficient physical strength to support it. And what Iron Fist Ryulu, who is a little older than Steel Bone Sora, lacks most is physical strength.

Even if we count Whitebeard who died at the hands of Borsalino, Iron Fist Ryuluo is still the oldest and most powerful person in this ocean.

Sensing that the enemy's breath had weakened to the extreme, Kaido, who was already overwhelmed, took a deep breath excitedly, and then exhaled a hot breath that was even more powerful.

"Firebreak!"

However, at the critical moment when the Army General was about to die at the hands of Kaido, countless thick vines rushed up from the ground, entangled with each other and turned into a thick wooden wall to block Kaido's attack.

The next moment, a figure wearing a CP0 robe broke out of the ground, threw out a vine to wrap around the dying army general and pulled him to his side, successfully escaping from Kaido's attack range before the heat broke through the wooden wall.

"Roar! Bad wind!"

The prey that he had caught was snatched away by someone. The furious Kaido opened his mouth and spit out countless wind blades, blasting towards the direction where the intruder was fleeing.

Compared to the hot breath which mainly relies on high temperature to burn the enemy, Kaido's bad wind is much stronger in both attack speed and attack power.

The key is that the breath of Iron Fist Ryuluo has been firmly locked by Kaido. Unless the intruder is willing to abandon Iron Fist Ryuluo, he will have to bear Kaido's wind blade breath.

"Damn it!"

Huangmu originally thought that he could at least save an army general before running away, so that he would have something to say when he met Ancient Saint Green.

But he still underestimated Kaido's murderous intent towards Iron Fist Ryuluo. While spitting out countless wind blades, Kaido, who had transformed into a blue dragon, also swung his tail violently and chased after him.

"Forbidden hatred!"

Although Aramaki did not want to fight Kaido, if he gave up Iron Fist Ryulu directly, not only would he not be able to accumulate merits to join the Knights of God, he might even be considered a deserter and held accountable.

The giant tree man formed by entangled vines reappeared and stretched out two big hands to grab Kaido.

If he had just arrived at the battlefield, Aramaki would still have the confidence to fight Kaido.

However, he was repeatedly beaten up by Minato and four Impure World Ninjas, and later the arrival of King Jin also caused considerable trouble for Aramaki. No matter how arrogant Aramaki was, he had realized that his strength might not be as strong as he imagined.

Especially when the opponent is a notorious monster like Kaido, Aramaki doesn't have much confidence in a one-on-one situation, not to mention that if he is held back by Kaido, those immortal monsters will probably catch up soon, and by then, it will be difficult for him to escape since his true form has been exposed.

"Get out of here! Fire Dragon Torch!"

Kaido, who was tightly held by the tree man, let out a deafening roar, and his twisting dragon body ignited with hot flames, and in the blink of an eye, he burned the tree man created by Aramaki into a torch.

Seeing that the furious fire dragon was catching up with him, Huang Mu, who didn't want to get killed, was forced to give up Iron Fist Liu Luo.

"asshole!"

Before he had time to rejoice that he had escaped, Iron Fist Ryuluo's face changed drastically after being left behind. But when he wanted to resist, Kaido, who had transformed into a fire dragon, had already pounced on him aggressively.

"Rising Dragon Flame Bagua!"

The fire dragon slammed into Iron Fist Liu Luo's hasty defense, and the army general, who was unable to resist, was thrown into the sky by the fire dragon.

The huge impact force almost made the army general lose consciousness instantly. When Iron Fist Ryulu, who had flown high in the sky, finally came to his senses, he was greeted by Kaido's hot breath.

At the critical moment of life and death, Iron Fist Liu Luo barely released the last bit of Armament Haki, trying to resist the flames that were coming towards him. Unfortunately, the army general was already at the end of his strength at this time, and he only lasted less than ten seconds before being completely swallowed up by the heat.

"Roar!"

Sensing that Iron Fist Ryulu's aura disappeared in the flames, even Kaido couldn't help but let out an excited roar.

Defeating a top-level warrior is already as difficult as ascending to heaven, and killing him is twice as difficult as ascending to heaven.

It is for this reason that Borsalino's deeds of killing Whitebeard and severely injuring Red Hair in the Battle of Marineford seem so shocking.

But starting today, Kaido also has a record that can be compared with Borsalino to some extent.

Although Iron-Fisted Ryulu had experienced a series of fierce battles before, and this army general was older than Whitebeard, the value of Kaido's record was not much lower.

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, the target escaped, the mission failed..."

Looking at the fire dragon roaring towards the sky in the distance, Minato's sunny and handsome face showed a somewhat helpless expression.

He had tried his best to keep Aramaki's real body, but the life-saving ability of the Sen Sen Fruit was ridiculously strong, and Minato, who lacked control, was unable to stop the other party from escaping.

"He actually managed to escape from you, Minato? He seems to be a rather troublesome fellow."

Orochimaru, who was on his way, was also slightly surprised, but then he couldn't help laughing.

The Golden Flash, which could make the mission completion rate 100%, had its first failure record. The difficulty of Aramaki was a little beyond Orochimaru's expectations.

However, the more difficult it is, the more valuable it is to study Aramaki's devil fruit ability. In this way, Minato's failure can be considered good news. Of course, the premise is that Aramaki can be caught later.

"I can try to chase..."

Minato was still a little unwilling. Although he didn't particularly care about his mission completion rate, Aramaki was an important target that Orochimaru had specifically named to be captured, and his value was immeasurable.

Being let by Huangmu escape from him like this felt more painful than messing up the S-level missions continuously.

"There's no need to take risks, Minato. That guy will fall into my hands sooner or later. Your chakra should be almost exhausted. It's time to retreat."

Orochimaru knew very well how much Borsalino had prepared for this battle. No matter how many cards the World Government showed, they were destined to be crushed by Borsalino.

Aramaki, who works for the World Government, will only end up in jail. Under such circumstances, Orochimaru naturally does not want to see Minato take risks in order to capture Aramaki.

After all, in the foreseeable future, Minato will sooner or later become the strongest fighting force in his hands, and Marijoa cannot be allowed to suffer any loss.
