Crack!
A crisp, ear-piercing sound of bone breaking rang out. Borsalino's face was distorted. He dodged the longsword, but the cabin door opened, and Kaos's powerful back kick landed heavily on his chest.
Borsalino instantly spewed blood and shot out as a golden light, splattering blood along the way.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Kaos's attack wasn't over. Various blades, spears, swords, halberds from the Gate of Babylon shot through the air, all aiming to shred Borsalino.
Especially the Chains of Heaven; if even one bound him, countless others would follow, and Borsalino would be like a crab in a pot, his fate entirely up to Kaos.
And the Goddess of the Sky wasn't just watching. She transformed into a majestic and awe-inspiring Thousand-Armed Guanyin, her overwhelming palms filled with murderous intent, whether pushing or grasping, they were all extremely lethal attacks.
This battle wasn't 1v1; it was Kaos ganging up on Borsalino.
Ding-a-ling-a-ling~
The entire sky echoed with the sound of metal clashing. A light sword appeared in Borsalino's hand, and as he rapidly fled, he occasionally deflected the blades, spears, swords, halberds, or Chains of Heaven that rushed at him.
He could see that these attacks were constantly shrinking his range of movement.
He had been careless.
"Heaven's Net and Earth's Snare."
Kaos's mind stirred. The Goddess of the Sky, who had maintained the form of the Thousand-Armed Guanyin, exploded into countless Chains of Heaven, connecting with the other Chains of Heaven formed from blades, spears, swords, and halberds. They quickly sealed off the sky, attempting to completely trap Borsalino.
Not good!
Borsalino's face changed drastically as he watched the constantly shrinking cage.
The most inhumane part was that sharp, cold spikes began to emerge from inside the Chains of Heaven, and they were even covered with Armament Haki.
Borsalino glowed all over, like a cross-shaped sun, preparing to fight with all his might.
But just then, the Heaven's Net and Earth's Snare exploded, transforming into a fifty-meter-tall giant sword.
"Little Croc, retreat!"
Kaos's expression was solemn. He directly abandoned the attack and appeared on the giant sword. At the same time, a Chain of Heaven wrapped around Crocodile, and they quickly soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon.
It wasn't that Kaos didn't want to deal with Borsalino, but if they didn't leave now, it would be too late.
Just a few breaths after Kaos left, a huge roar came from another direction. A powerful and fierce aura sliced through the sea, finally stopping on the surface and causing a massive explosion.
"Did he escape?"
Tsuru, stepping on Moonwalk, created a crater in the sea beneath her. A large amount of steam rose from her body, and her sharp, chilling eyes looked in the direction Kaos had fled.
Her wildly dancing ponytail fell, and her aura was strong and imposing.
Tsuru's appearance made Borsalino breathe a sigh of relief.
He had been careless this time.
He had almost suffered a great loss.
"Boss, why are we leaving in such a hurry? I can deal with that CPO right away."
A thousand meters up in the sky, Crocodile stood on the golden giant sword, somewhat confused about Kaos.
"Your Observation Haki hasn't been fully cultivated yet. A powerful figure has arrived from the Marine side."
Although Kaos didn't know who the opponent was, that aura was truly powerful. It put a lot of pressure on him.
Moreover, Borsalino wasn't that easy to kill. If they continued to delay, the Marine might have other reinforcements, and then they wouldn't be able to leave even if they wanted to.
"Boss, aren't you too cowardly?"
Crocodile crossed his arms and let out a slight snort.
He felt that running away without even seeing the opponent's face was very undignified. This was an insult to his pride.
"You useless piece of trash, you deserve to become a cripple in the future and be the first one to be cut down."
"You can't even deal with an enemy in ten full minutes, what's the use of you!"
Kaos cursed him mercilessly, the deep disdain in his eyes piercing Crocodile's heart like a sharp sword.
"I wasn't using my full strength, otherwise that guy would have been dead long ago."
Crocodile's face flushed as he argued.
"Keep blowing smoke."
Kaos sneered repeatedly, turning his head, not even bothering to look at Crocodile.
Crocodile clenched his fists, veins throbbing on his forehead.
In these three months, he had already experienced this man's sharp tongue, and he thought he had gotten used to it and was unperturbed.
But every time, he still couldn't control himself.
After all, he was still a young man of eighteen or nineteen, and the harsh realities of society and life experience had not yet settled in. He was relatively prone to impulsiveness.
Holy Land. Mary Geoise.
"What did you say? The celestial tribute from the Gilgamesh Kingdom was stolen by the Golden Emperor Gaia Kaos?"
In the office of the World Government's highest authority, five old men, some standing, some sitting, all looked at the reporting personnel.
"Yes."
"Tell us the details!"
One of the Gorosei, wearing a flat hat, had a gloomy face, clearly suppressing his anger.
If this news reached the Celestial Dragons, it would be chaotic again.
But what angered him most was the Golden Emperor; this was simply a blatant provocation to the World Government.
After hearing the report, the Gorosei all sat on the sofa, with a stack of news materials about Kaos on the table in front of them.
"You all know the value of the Gold-Gold Fruit, and now he is openly plundering the celestial tribute. We can no longer let him run rampant."
The Gorosei with a birthmark on his forehead snorted coldly.
"Have Sengoku return and personally apprehend him."
"The Golden Emperor must be under our control."
"And raise his bounty!"
This time, the Gorosei were clearly taking a harsh stance. They directly ordered an Admiral to personally apprehend him. In the past, such situations were only for powerhouses of the caliber of Whitebeard, Golden Lion, The Lone Red, Wang Zhi, John, and others.
And Kaos, relying on the Gold-Gold Fruit and his self-destructive behavior, successfully stood on the same level as these legends.
Kaos was completely unaware of all this and continued to court death by plundering the celestial tribute from other affiliated countries.
In just one day, he plundered ten escort merchant ships.
However, their value was not as high as what the Gilgamesh Kingdom offered, mainly because it was mostly gold.
The celestial tribute from one of the merchant ships, apart from a small amount of gold, silver, and jewels, mostly consisted of various spices, medicinal herbs, and so on.
Even so, the Goddess of the Sky was replenished to a height of fifty meters. Kaos was happy.
But the World Government was extremely enraged, especially the Celestial Dragons.
How could the news of ten consecutive ships being plundered be concealed?
Moreover, Kaos now had his own trending topic, and the news of him plundering the celestial tribute had spread throughout the sea.
Many Pirate Crews, besides wanting to capture Kaos, also felt a hint of admiration.
After all, there were only a handful of pirates on the sea who dared to plunder the celestial tribute and defy the World Government in such a way.
However, surviving was the real skill.
New World, a certain Marine fortress.
"Bururu~ Bururu!"
A Den Den Mushi rang. In the office, Sengoku was discussing matters with several Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals. The ringing Den Den Mushi on the table interrupted the meeting.
"This is Sengoku."
Sengoku answered the phone, already guessing who it was.
"Sengoku, return immediately!"
A majestic and deep voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
"I'll go back after I've finished giving instructions."
Sengoku had a hint of helplessness; this wasn't the first call he had received from Kong.
The situation in the New World was somewhat chaotic now, especially after the Roger Pirates entered the New World.
"You can rest assured and come back. Garp and Zephyr are enough for the New World."
Kong hung up the phone after speaking.
Sengoku rubbed his forehead; this was the only way.
Zephyr guarded the fortress, and Garp went out to hunt, a perfect collaboration.
Next, Sengoku gave some instructions, then led his adjutant and left the New World.
