Chapter 463: Deserter King
Chapter 463: Deserter King
"Ice Age!"
"Yatajo Magatama!"
Aokiji and Kizaru attacked Lu Li at the same time. At this point in the battle, even Ace was rescued by the enemy, and the navy suffered countless casualties. They could no longer care about so much.
Whether the headquarters of the navy can continue to exist has become a proposition that needs no consideration. Both sides have simultaneously used their fruit awakening abilities to the extreme in order to save Lu Li's life.
Seeing that Ace had been rescued, Garp seemed to have untied some of the knot in his heart, and began to deal with Whitebeard seriously.
He and Zhan Guo fought back and stopped Whitebeard who was going to help Lu Li. If they couldn't even kill Whitebeard, this battle on the top would be a complete loss.
As for Lu Li, they wanted to deal with him, but they really didn't have the ability to do so.
Now that the two admirals of the Marine Headquarters have died in battle, it is hard to say whether Aokiji and Kizaru can continue to suppress Lu Li. If they want to kill Lu Li, they can only wait and see when Lu Li's physical strength is exhausted so that he can no longer use those strange abilities.
On the battlefield, due to the death of two admirals and Ace's escape, the morale of the navy was extremely low, and a large number of deserters appeared. Even the people in charge of supervising the battle were somewhat shaken, so they let many deserters go.
This is obviously a taboo on the battlefield. If the soldiers see that they will not be punished for running away, their morale will naturally plummet and they will all want to run away.
If the soldiers on the battlefield were not originally elite officers, they would probably have all been defeated and fled by now.
In addition, what slightly alleviated the navy's decline was that after Ace escaped, Whitebeard had ordered everyone to retreat back to the ship.
After all, their purpose of coming here is to rescue people, not to fight with the navy, so there is no need to continue to add casualties.
Some fearless sailors at the front of the battlefield were shocked by the death of the admiral, but they were already blood-thirsty and wanted to climb up the ladder through military exploits, so they were still fighting hard to hunt down the pirates.
At the place where the two sides clashed, due to the accumulated fatigue after the war, the casualties were very obvious when the two sides fought.
At this time, a young marine with light pink hair stood up. It was Coby who had tried to stop Luffy before but was knocked away by Luffy's punch.
Coby looked at the purgatory-like battlefield, the place of dead silence caused by the battle between Lu Li and the three generals, and listened to the shouting and screaming around him. He was in great pain, holding his head, feeling like it was about to break apart.
He looked at the navy soldiers who were running away due to lack of morale, and then looked at the soldiers who were chasing the pirates with bloodshot eyes. He blocked their way, opened his arms and shouted, "Stop it now!! Stop trampling on lives!!!"
He had a very loud voice, and this shout stunned many nearby Marines. These battle-hardened colonel officers looked at Coby with strange eyes.
That look seemed to be saying, this guy wants to be a deserter, why can he be so righteous?
Their navy had already lost so much in this battle, and their strategic goal had not yet been achieved. Shouldn't they fight hard to stop Ace from escaping? Otherwise, wouldn't the comrades who died fighting side by side with them before become a joke and died in vain?
boom--
At this moment, as luck would have it, Lu Li was blown to the battlefield here by the impact force because he was resisting the joint attack of Aokiji and Kizaru.
"Stop it now, stop fighting. What do you think of your lives? Those sailors who escaped also have families waiting for them to return!"
Coby yelled again, trying to persuade the marines to stop.
Lu Li walked out of the pit, stretched his neck, and glanced at Coby, "Hey, isn't this the deserter king?"
Coby was just glanced at by Lu Li, and he froze because of the terrifying and ominous aura on Lu Li's body after he performed Bankai. His body trembled and he almost fell to his knees.
Out of curiosity, Lu Li took a closer look at Coby. He was shocked to find that Coby also had the core of the world!
Wow, there are both good and bad protagonists?
"Kirby, be careful!"
Coby's good friend, Belumebear, the son of Axe Monka, warned loudly, but how could his voice be faster than lightning?
The lightning that Lu Li released casually turned Coby into a piece of charcoal and directly took the core of the world into his bag.
"Land from!"
"Natural disaster!"
Several roars sounded on the battlefield at the same time. Aokiji and Kizaru arrived at the same time. In addition, the angry voice coming from a distance was Garp's.
Seeing that Garp was firing on all cylinders at this time, his domineering aura burst out completely. With the impact of his fist bones, he actually forced Whitebeard back and rushed directly towards where Lu Li was.
Lu Li was not one to pamper old people, he slashed with his right arm to deal with the attacks of Kizaru and Aokiji, at the same time, in front of everyone's shocked gazes, he actually used his superb skills to take advantage of the thrust of Aokiji and Kizaru's attacks, adjusted his body in mid-air, and punched at Garp with his left arm.
The fist was wrapped in cherry blossom color, and under the entanglement of domineering aura, the fist intent that shook the mountains and split the sky burst out.
boom--
Amidst the tremendous roar, the space was distorted by the terrifying force, the earth collapsed in large areas, and the strong wind caused by the powerful shock wave made the two generals squint their eyes.
Lu Li stepped back under the huge impact and swollen left fist. "Tsk, you have quite a lot of strength now. I want to borrow the words that young marine said just now. What do you think of your life?"
Lu Li found this wave of actions of Garp very confusing. Not to mention whether Coby should be killed for his desertion behavior in the eyes of the navy, it was normal for him as a pirate to kill the enemy on the battlefield.
So many navy officers died in the past due to pirate attacks, but you didn't even blink an eye, sitting on the execution platform and chatting with your grandson Ace.
I killed Akainu and Green Bull, but you didn't seem to be very angry. Many marines died from my Thunder AOE, but you didn't get angry either?
How come you become so excited just because I killed a deserter?
"Boy..."
Garp's face was gloomy, and the domineering aura on his body flashed like black lightning, but when Lu Li asked this, his momentum stagnated.
Obviously, he heard the sarcasm in Lu Li's tone.
The life of his disciple, Kebi, is life, but the lives of other navy officers are not life?
For a moment, Garp was extremely confused because his position was wavering and the war had already been lost.
He didn't know whether Ace's rescue was what he really wanted, but the navy was being beaten to pieces, which was definitely not what he wanted to see. Garp wanted to continue attacking Lu Li, but he failed because without his help, Sengoku was slashed by Whitebeard with a huge wound, and with the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he coughed up blood and fell to the ground.
Then, Whitebeard swung his sword at Garp again, and the sword force also included Aokiji.
Whitebeard's ideas are different from those of the young people. He is not too optimistic about the situation on the battlefield. If necessary, he is always willing to stay behind to cover the young people and let them return to the new world.
In his opinion, Lu Li had already done too much extra work as a foreign aid, and he couldn't let such a promising young man fail here.
"All navy listen up, do not let Ace go!"
As Sengoku stood up, he coughed up blood and yelled, "Shichibukai, stop him!"
The threat in his tone was obvious. Although the World Government suffered heavy losses in this war, it was far from being fundamentally shaken.
The reason why the Celestial Dragons have the supreme status is because they still control the greatest military force. He believes that the smarter Seven Warlords of the Sea should be able to understand the situation. If they do not make an effort today, the World Government will settle accounts one by one in the future.
At this time, the Seven Warlords of the Sea like Hawkeye and the Pirate Queen were fine. One of them didn't care much and was just living a retirement life, while the other had been blinded by Luffy.
But Gekko Moriah and Doflamingo cannot ignore orders, especially the latter, who needs the protection of his status as a Seven Warlords of the Sea in order to continue to get along well in the New World.
Helplessly, Doflamingo could only rush towards Luffy and Ace, trying to stop them.
At the same time, those vice admirals who had originally had their own thoughts in the battle, seeing that the situation had become so bad, no longer dared to take it lightly and they all used all their strength to surround Ace.
Even though the navy lost two admirals, the navy still had the upper hand in terms of core combat power. Few of those who could become vice admirals were fakes.
"You really like to use your numbers to bully the weak..."
Lu Li looked at Aokiji and Kizaru who were attacking him, as well as the vice admirals who were surrounding Ace and Luffy, and symbolically made a seal with his hand.
bang bang bang bang bang...
A series of gas explosions sounded, with white smoke rising and more than a dozen Lu Li appearing on the battlefield at the same time under the shocked gazes of many powerful men.
"Hey, hey, hey...Isn't this too scary? Can this clone ability be split into so many?"
Kizaru was so shocked when he saw this scene that he kept complaining. He had seen the ability of Lu Li's clone before. Even Sakaski had to be a little more serious to break it up. How could an ordinary lieutenant general be a match for Lu Li's clone?
They originally thought that this was some kind of limited ability, so Lu Li had never used it in the battle between them. But now it seems that not only is there no cooldown limit, but Lu Li can even create more than a dozen powerful clones at a time!
Lu Li's shadow clones rushed to the battlefield, blocking those powerful lieutenant generals one by one, giving Whitebeard's side an environment to retreat calmly.
As for Lu Li himself, he didn't seem to have any intention of retreating. Instead, he attacked Aokiji and Kizaru fiercely.
"Brother Lu is so awesome!"
Luffy, who was running away, saw a shadow clone clearing a path for them and laughed.
As for Coby's death, he had just seen it, but he didn't feel much sadness.
Luffy is the kind of person who is wise but appears foolish, has high emotional intelligence, and is not naive at the same time. The two met on the battlefield with different positions, and the former friends had already parted ways.
He had shown mercy once when Coby came out for the first time to stop him from rescuing Ace and just knocked Coby down. At that time, their friendship was over.
He could still clearly distinguish the positions. Now it was Brother Lu who helped him rescue Ace and was protecting them as they rushed out. How could he be angry because Lu Li killed a navy man he knew on the battlefield?
In the high-rise building at the rear, Rafar was no longer calm as he watched this scene. If he hadn't been concerned about his own image, he would have probably started to curse.
It can carry, fight, output, run fast, recover, has AOE and single target capabilities, and it can also create shadow clones. He really wants to ask Lu Li where he gets so many soul sources. Wouldn't it be possible to create so many shadow clones without draining them all?
"Monelle, are you still not well?"
Rafar's tone revealed a hint of anxiety. If Lu Li continued to kill like this, the entire battlefield would be wiped out by Lu Li alone.
Normally, Lu Li's attributes were explosive, so he shouldn't be that durable, but Rafar didn't dare to bet on Lu Li's durability.
Now they had to kill Lu Li before the losses got any further. And since they had to show their cards and expose their fighting power, after killing Lu Li, they had to get rid of Whitebeard as well.
"The medium core of the Demon Subduing Forbidden Spell is still being activated. We are already speeding up."
Monell answered, with beads of sweat on his forehead. They never expected that the Rune Adventure Group would be beaten like this by a single explorer.
The most outrageous thing is that this explorer seems to be only a fifth-level primary explorer, otherwise it is impossible to explain his low basic attributes.
At this time, the battlefield where Lu Li, Aokiji, Kizaru, Whitebeard, Sengoku, and Garp were fighting had turned into an absolute death zone. Even if they tried to control the battlefield and not destroy it, they would still beat Marinford to pieces.
The fierce battle between pirates and navy was still going on. Among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Doflamingo was stopped by Lu Li's shadow clone. He was not panicked or anxious, but instead had a businessman's smile on his face.
Anyway, he wasn't working for the World Government, so no one could accuse him of being lazy when he was stopped by Lu Li's shadow clone. "Tian Zai, long time no see. Oh, I don't think we've met before, but you should know me."
"Look... Doflamingo."
Lu Li's shadow clone said, "Why, do you want to report to me the business financial status of the past ten years?"
As soon as Lu Li opened his mouth, Doflamingo had a little high blood pressure. He thought to himself, you, the beast strategist, really think of me as your subordinate company?
But Doflamingo couldn't show his dissatisfaction, so he could only smile and say, "I have had a pleasant cooperation with the Governor of the Beasts Pirates over the years. I recently thought of a big business deal and wanted to talk to Lord Calamity about it at the right time."
He used honorifics when he spoke. As the Joker of the New World, Doflamingo was best at socializing. He knew who he could be aggressive with and who he could be timid with.
"Not bad, we can indeed use your connections, and I do have something I want to entrust to you, but this is not the place to talk."
The shadow clone said, "I will go to Dressrosa later."
While the two were plotting, something unexpected happened on the battlefield where Lu Li's real body was.
Lu Li swung his knife and predicted Kizaru's landing point, leaving a long knife wound on Kizaru's chest.
