He knew that Mod had made it clear that he wanted to let the zombie army fight freely, and the zombie army had indeed restrained some of the Whitebeard Pirates' forces.
The Warring States Period did not continue to struggle with this matter.
"Sakaski."
He looked down at Akainu under the execution platform.
Akainu understood, nodded to Sengoku, then took the initiative to enter, heading straight towards the main force of the Whitebeard Pirates.
The current situation is relatively clear, and there is no need for him to guard the execution platform as the last line of defense.
By putting pressure on the Whitebeard Pirates head-on, he can create a good output environment for the pacifists who are about to enter.
"Akainu."
Whitebeard looked at Akainu immediately.
After all, he was a naval admiral, and whenever he made a move, he immediately attracted Whitebeard's attention.
"The last monster has officially entered the scene."
The powerful captains of the Grand Fleet guarding Whitebeard's left and right sides stared at Akainu as he formally entered the arena.
This naval monster with rock berry fruit ability will probably become the biggest obstacle to their continued advancement.
"Gula la..."
Whitebeard's eyes sparkled.
If the visitor is a general, he alone can restrict it to ensure the efficiency of subsequent advancement.
Central area of the square.
Mod held up both guns and fired a few symbolic shots forward, while his eyes fell on Akainu's back.
Due to the entry of the Wild Beast Legion, the navy's strength was gradually stretched, and coupled with his own lack of cooperation, the Warring States Period sent out the last sharp knife guarding the rear.
"The last line of defense has also been mobilized."
Mod retracted his gaze, looked back at Garp and Marco who were fighting, and finally looked at Sengoku and Ace above the execution platform.
"So, when do you plan to debut..."
Chapter 86 Shadow Gathering Place
this war.
The Golden Lion Pirates who fell from the sky were no surprise.
The zombie army that was ambushing under the square before the war started was not a surprise either.
The pacifist who is about to enter the scene and attack the Whitebeard Pirates from behind will not be a surprise attack.
The real surprise—
They are a group of Straw Hat pirates who have joined forces with the Revolutionary Army and even Mod doesn't know where or when they will appear.
The number of troops that the Revolutionary Army will dispatch is also information that Mod is unable to grasp.
at present,
The only defenses on the execution platform were Warring States and Garp.
The Warring States Period needs to lead the overall situation and will not rush into the battle. Instead, it is more about always paying attention to the situation on the battlefield.
Garp couldn't kill Marco in a short time, but he could ensure that Marco couldn't rescue Ace.
in the air,
ground,
The situation is gradually becoming clearer.
There were only thirty minutes left before the execution began.
If nothing else, the Navy is fully capable of completing Ace's execution under the watchful eyes of the whole world and even the Whitebeard Pirates.
Therefore, as this war continues to this day, it has always been the Whitebeard Pirates who should be anxious, rather than the navy that can take advantage of it.
This expectation is based on the premise that there will be no changes.
And Maude was the only person present who had the most information.
He was very aware of the existence of the Revolutionary Army and the Straw Hat Pirates.
It is also very clear that Straw Hat Luffy will be the biggest weakness of the legendary naval hero Garp.
Once the obstacle from Garp is removed, unless Kizaru and Fujitora can free their hands to stop it.
Otherwise, Marco would have taken Ace directly to safety.
certainly.
The fundamental reason why Maud returned directly to the rear was to eliminate this possibility.
If Marco is allowed to successfully rescue Ace, this war will probably come to an end as quickly as possible.
This was not a development that Maud wanted to see before taking advantage of Whitebeard's experience.
"Do you want to take this opportunity to deal with Marco..."
Maud glanced at Marco, who was being beaten back and forth by Garp, and couldn't help but think.
If you want to focus on Marco, it will inevitably affect the recovery of zombie shadows one by one.
In this way, the gains outweigh the losses.
"Come on, take it one step at a time."
Mod thought for a while, and finally gave up the idea of getting rid of Marco first.
Compared with this, it is more important to ensure that every zombie shadow is recovered.
He no longer paid attention to the battle on Marco's side, and didn't bother to pay attention to the violent beasts raging around him.
Mod first looked up at the air combat situation above.
The hundreds of naval elites sent by the Warring States Period who were good at using moon steps did not attack the air fleet, but instead went to deal with the Golden Lion.
This decision allowed Kizaru to freely deal with the flying fleet.
Relying on the terrifying long-range strike ability of the Shining Fruit, Kizaru frequently defused the bombardment poured on the ground by the air fleet, and still had enough energy to attack the ship with laser beams.
Facing Kizaru's precise strikes, the ships frozen in the sky were completely moving targets.
Every once in a while, a ship is shot down by Kizaru.
This can be regarded as the disadvantage of the golden lion using its ability to lift the ship into the air.
As he was getting older, when faced with the surveillance of hundreds of elite navy and Fujitora, he had no energy left to consider the safety of dozens of ships.
Even if he could deal with the navy while controlling dozens of ships to adjust their positions to avoid attacks.
Kizaru's Shining Fruit ability is still the biggest nemesis of the flying fleet.
In the final analysis, it was because Kizaru fired so fast that at close range, the huge ship could not avoid Kizaru's beam attack.
In other words, as long as those hundreds of naval elites are strong enough, Kizaru can completely destroy the entire air fleet on his own.
Golden Lion never dreamed that his flying fleet, which had been running rampant more than twenty years ago, would be so powerless in this war.
He would never have thought that there would be monsters like Kizaru and Fujitora in the navy who were very unfriendly to him.
Changes in twenty years.
Let the Golden Lion see the twilight of the old era and the edge of the new era.
This is undoubtedly cruel to him.
The disadvantaged Golden Lion and Flying Fleet were noticed by Mod.
The arrogant and arrogant attitude when he first appeared was in sharp contrast to his current situation.
"Times have changed, Golden Lion..."
Maud muttered to himself, then immediately retracted his gaze from the sky and turned to look at the battlefield ahead.
Although the individual strength of the zombie warriors is outstanding, the elites of the Whitebeard Pirates are not vegetarians.
With the comings and goings, the zombie army began to reduce in number.
As the zombie warrior fell, the shadow residing in the corpse immediately flew towards the sky.
But in an instant, under the control of Maud, he fell back to the ground, then walked along the ground and came to Maud at an extremely fast speed.
This is - similar to the ability of Shadow Gathering Ground.
As long as Maud has a thought, even if his shadow is scattered to the ends of the earth, he will return to Maud as quickly as possible.
"Even if the quality of the corpse and shadow is very high, if you can't use Haki..."
While Maud fired casually and perfunctorily, she gathered the recovered shadows under her palm.
As the war heats up, pirates and marines will fall every second, and the zombie army is no exception.
Under the targeted offensive of the Whitebeard Pirates, the rate of attrition of the zombie army gradually increased.
The spitted out shadows returned to him one by one under the control of Maud.
Due to the page limit of the hunter's notebook, it was impossible for Mod to write everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates into the notebook.
therefore,
The zombie army's relentless killing spree did not actually bring substantial benefits to Mod.
Unless they can happen to kill a captain or the captain of the Grand Fleet...
But that possibility is obviously very low.
In itself, Mod went to great lengths to get zombie legions to appear in the battle at the top, not just to let them help him gain experience.
The shadows that broke away from the zombies walked through the ground, came to Maud's side, and were all compressed in the palm of his hand.
As long as Mod is willing, he can kill these shadows at any time to gain relevant experience points and replenish his physical strength and domineering energy.
But until then…
These shadows have further use value, and they are also the capital for him to gain Whitebeard's experience points in one fell swoop.
"I don't know how many shadows I can bear..."
Maud thought to herself.
Inside the battlefield.
As zombie warriors fell to the ground one by one.
Smoker and Tina, who chose to stay where they were and continue to fight the Whitebeard Pirates, began to feel a little uncomfortable.
Once the zombie army weakens, there will be no way to share the firepower between the two of them.
In that case, if they continue to be stubborn, they will probably have to confess there.
"How stubborn, these two guys..."
Mod looked at Smoker and Tina who gritted their teeth and refused to retreat, and couldn't help but shook his head.
You are neither zombies nor Wang Luffy...
If you don't know how to adapt, you will suffer losses sooner or later.
Chapter 87 The Appearance of the Straw Hats
This war continues to this day.
Those who can still stand firm are all weaklings.
Smoker and Tina are not weak, but they cannot withstand the enemy's overwhelming numbers.
Moreover, there were captains of the Grand Fleet and Whitebeard Pirates who were more powerful than them.
If the zombie army hadn't shared most of the firepower for them and were under heavy siege, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for even a minute.
In such a precarious situation, Smoker and Tina could have made a tactical retreat, but they had to stay on the field to fight.
The two of them seemed to want to use the zombie army's crazy offensive as a cover, and then try their best to knock down the Whitebeard Pirates.
The idea is good, and it can also implement its own justice.
