Feeling the unique attention salute from the Whitebeard Pirates, Mod first raised his foot and lightly stomped on the ground, and then turned to the captains of Whitebeard's fleet, as well as Izo who had been eyeing him since the war began. Hook your fingers.
No need to say anything harsh.
With just one gesture, the meaning can be expressed clearly.
"That bastard!!!"
Seeing Mod's provocative gesture, several captains with hot tempers couldn't help it immediately.
"Don't be provoked by him."
Yi Zang lowered his gun slightly and said calmly: "The top priority is to attack the square. As for Bacardi Mod... don't worry, I will find an opportunity to deal with him!"
When he said this, Yi Zang's tone was full of confidence.
"Then leave it to you, Captain Izo."
The pirates around him trusted Izou's strength, including the captains who couldn't control their anger and forced themselves to calm down.
Things have priorities, and they are not willing to ignore the overall situation just to vent their anger. Moreover, it is now that Yi Zang has taken on the arduous task of solving Mord.
"Captain Izo, we must kill that bastard!"
"Um."
Izo nodded.
Upon seeing this, these captains who wanted to tear Maud out of his bones immediately led their crews to attack the naval forces at the edge of the square.
Yi Zang immediately looked at Maude in the square with sharp eyes.
From this moment on, his duty was to keep an eye on Maud.
As long as Mod uses the ability to change shape again...
Then, the armed lead bullets fired from his guns would hit Maud's body like a shadow.
"I won't let you do whatever you want again!"
A murderous intent flashed across Yi Zang's eyes.
on the square.
Maud stood tall and tall among the many marines.
"Are you going to restrict me or even kill me by attacking the shadow?"
Maud, who seemed to be aware of the killing intent, gently stroked the gunshot wound on her waist with her fingertips, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Oh, you don't know anything about the power of shadow fruit."
After muttering to himself, Maud moved away from looking at Izo and turned to look at the battle at the edge of the square.
When the fragmented island turned into a foothold, and the tall and hard surrounding wall was buried under the island, a straight and wide road appeared in front of the Whitebeard Pirates.
The opportunity is right in front of you, how can Whitebeard let it go
Using violence to start a group, the crew members under his command got their wish and boarded the square.
"Haha, coming up!!!"
"Fight a bloody path and rescue Ace!"
"Navy men, be mentally prepared!"
"Let them experience the power of the new world!"
After boarding the square, the pirates on Whitebeard's side rushed toward the naval forces deployed on the edge of the square like ghosts and wolves howling like ghosts.
"Never retreat, fight!"
"For justice!"
Facing the powerful pirates, the marines guarding the edge of the square did not give in at all.
They carried out the justice in their hearts with actions, waved their weapons, and faced the pirates on Whitebeard's side without retreating.
The two sides were like torrents coming from different directions, colliding hard into a ball.
for a while,
The sound of iron weapons, gunshots, and screams converged into one place, resounding over the square.
The battle line has finally been drawn here, and the Shichibukai have nothing to do even if they want to paddle.
"Fufu, come out of desperate situation, Whitebeard Pirates."
Seeing the pirates under Whitebeard rushing into the square, Doflamingo no longer had time to think about Mod. He raised his hand and threw a few parasitic lines towards the pirates.
In this chaotic battle of swords and swords, the parasitic thread, which was imperceptible to the naked eye, easily hit several pirates holding long swords.
"Huh!? I can't move?!"
One of the pirates stuck by the parasitic thread was shocked.
"Be careful, it's Doflamingo's ability!"
The other pirate, who was also hung up by the parasitic thread, had a slight understanding of Doflamingo's abilities. At the moment when his body was unable to move, he quickly spoke out to alert his companions around him.
The timely reminder gave other pirates enough room to react.
but…
The most cruel thing about the parasitic line is that it forces the enemies to kill each other.
"Get out of the way!"
The knife-wielding pirates parasitized by the puppet thread quickly killed their nearby companions.
The companion selected as the target of the attack cannot directly attack the pirate controlled by the parasitic line, and can only dodge attacks continuously.
The one who took action was in agony.
The beaten party is in a dilemma.
“Furfur…”
Doflamingo nodded slightly, and the interesting scene of Whitebeard's pirates "killing each other" reflected in his sunglasses.
In the face of the control effect of the parasitic thread, even if the controlled target falls down and dies, it can still continue to dance as a corpse.
This means that even if the other party is determined to deal with the target controlled by the parasitic line, it will be of no avail.
This group of pirates from the New World were certainly not stupid and went straight to the culprit, Doflamingo.
However, Doflamingo didn't even need to move, he could stop the pirates coming straight towards him by simply controlling the living puppet.
This operation, coupled with the mobilized navy around them, was enough to kill the pirates' idea of flushing out Doflamingo.
Moreover, when the battle line reaches the edge of the square, Doflamingo is not the only one taking action from the Shichibukai.
Needless to say, from the moment the Whitebeard Pirates broke into the square, their attacks never stopped.
The same is true for Hawkeye. Every time he slashes with his sword, he can cause huge trouble to the Whitebeard Pirates.
Hancock, who looked disgusted because he was surrounded by stinky men, was forced to speed up his attacks.
The actions of the Shichibukai formed a clear obstacle to the charge of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"After all, they are a troublesome bunch."
Whitebeard looked expressionlessly at the Shichibukai who were exerting their combat power.
Chapter 79 Oh, do you really want to die
In this large-scale war that mobilized hundreds of thousands of people, a level of combat power such as the Shichibukai was equivalent to a "general".
If one's own side lacks equal combat power, then the unchecked "general" will continue to sweep away one's own "soldiers", eventually causing a gap in the combat power of the two sides, and then an imbalance.
This is the value of top individual combat power in war.
With their strength, although they cannot determine the outcome of the entire war in one fell swoop, they can influence the direction of the entire situation at all times.
The Shichibukai's attack directly curbed the charging momentum of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Whitebeard was confident and looked at the nearby captains.
"Jozi, Bista, Bramank, and Lakyo, you go deal with those Shichibukai."
"no problem."
After receiving Whitebeard's instructions, half of the captain of the third team, Jozi, turned into a diamond. Using his shoulders as weapons, he was like a rhinoceros, knocking off various marines along the way.
Then, Jozi's eyes pointed at Doflamingo, who was playing with his companions.
"Then leave Hawkeye to me."
The captain of the fifth team, Foil Bista, gestured with his two swords and looked at Hawkeye, who was in a deserted place in the battle circle, with a fierce fighting spirit.
As a famous swordsman in the new world, being able to fight against the world's best swordsman, Hawkeye, on such an occasion is simply something Bista can only dream of.
"Hehe, if I say it, I'll choose that tyrant bear."
Bramank, the captain of the sixth team, who is chubby and wears a purple three-cornered hat with two pockets sewn on his chin, grins widely, revealing a row of gapped teeth.
"Although I don't want to fight with women, this is war after all, so I can't lose my temper."
Rakuyo, captain of Team 7 with messy brown hair and a mustache, waved a strange-looking bolas and looked at Hancock, the last Shichibukai in the distance.
A total of sixteen teams were divided under Whitebeard's command.
Strictly speaking, the division from the first team to the sixteenth team is based on "qualifications to join the team" rather than strength.
But in the pirate group, seniority often corresponds to strength.
The team system of the Whitebeard Pirates is a very clear example.
Leaving aside Ace who later filled the vacancy of the captain of the second team, headed by Marco, the captain of the first team, Joz, the captain of the third team, Bista, the captain of the fifth team...
These captains at the top of the list are all the top combat forces of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Therefore, the strength of captain Bramanke of the sixth team and Lacyo, the captain of the seventh team, is actually not much worse than that of Jozi and Bista.
It was precisely because they were not weak that Whitebeard sent them to contain the Shichibukai.
It is worth mentioning that Izo, the captain of Team 16 who was born in Wano, joined the Whitebeard Pirates later.
In terms of qualifications, he cannot compare with captains like Marco, but in terms of strength, he is not weaker than several captains ahead of him.
Foil Bista moved very quickly and took the lead, rolling up a shower of red flowers and attacking Hawkeye from the front.
"Um?"
Hawkeye raised his eyes and raised his sword to stop Bista's two swords from the front.
Clang!
The black knife and the two swords clashed with each other, and while a burst of sparks flew out, petals flew around.
"Captain of the fifth team of the Whitebeard Pirates, Foil Bista."
Hawkeye calmly looked at Bista in front of him.
Although they are both swordsmen and have never fought against each other, the reputations they have gained in the new world are the calling cards of each other's identities.
"First meeting, Hawkeye Mihawk, do you know me?"
Bista crossed his swords and resisted Hawkeye's black sword. In the competition of strength, he did not lose in the slightest.
Hawkeye said calmly: "It would be strange if I didn't know him."
"Hey… "
Bista grinned.
After Bista faced off against Hawkeye, the other three captains also faced off against Bear, Doflamingo, and Hancock.
When Bramank, who was best at sneak attacks, approached the bear, he suddenly took out a wooden hammer larger than himself from his chin pocket and hit the bear on the back hard, killing the pirates. The bear knocks away.
Jozi crashed directly into Doflamingo, but Doflamingo was very armed and took Jozi's brute force collision steadily.
but,
This collision directly interrupted his parasitic line.
"Fufu, you just missed an opportunity to hurt me, Diamond Jozi, captain of the third team of the Whitebeard Pirates."
"There are many opportunities, not least this one."
