On the Warship Deck
"Vice Admiral Vergo was also taken down?!"
Stainless's expression grew increasingly grim.
The situation was spiraling out of control; all three Warlords were tied up, and even Hawkeye, on whom the Marines placed high hopes, was unable to disengage from his battle with Crocodile.
Of the five Vice Admirals dispatched this time, he was the commander and hadn't gone to the front lines. Now, only one of the other four Vice Admirals remained.
Vice Admiral Vergo was taken down by Trafalgar Law, while Yamakaji and Vice Admiral Doberman, along with all the landing Marine soldiers, were turned to stone, leaving only him and Vice Admiral Bastille.
They had to use their trump card!
"Dispatch the Seraphim!"
"Understood!"
S-Hawk, S-Crocodile, S-Shark!
Two handsome youths with black wings and flames on their backs appeared in the center of the battlefield.
Plus a chubby shark.
"S-Hawk, go take down Buggy!"
"S-Crocodile, S-Shark, assist the Warlords!"
Stainless issued his commands.
S-Hawk was the strongest, not only possessing the modified body of the Lunarian race but also imbued with Hawkeye's swordsmanship.
It was most suitable for him to deal with the enemy leader.
The orders were confirmed.
The three small ones observed the battlefield and quickly found their targets.
S-Hawk looked at Buggy on the high platform of the circus tent, drew a magnificent greatsword from his back, and swung it with all his might!
A massive slash traversed the battlefield, splitting the Cross Guild headquarters and Buggy in two, then continued with undiminished force towards the mountain behind!
"Boom!!!"
The massive mountain split down the middle!
Such a terrifying blow immediately brought the war to a halt.
"This is..."
Hawkeye stared at S-Hawk in astonishment.
The previous slash was incredibly familiar, as if he had personally unleashed it!
Who is this kid?
Why does he look so similar to him?
"See that? That's the World Government's secret weapon, artificial humans created using us as blueprints!"
Crocodile was equally shocked.
He only knew that the World Government had created weapons based on them, but he never expected them to be completed to such an extent.
They could even replicate Hawkeye's swordsmanship!
And that peculiar body!
The legendary Lunarian race!
"It's the Lunarian race, how can there be so many?!"
Moria exclaimed in horror.
He had fought Kaido, and all his companions were killed by the Beast Pirates' officers. One of the Beast Pirates' officers was from the Lunarian race!
King the Conflagration!
Therefore, he would never be mistaken!
Rumor had it that the Lunarian race was long extinct, and King was likely the last one, but now there were three Lunarians appearing before him.
Unbelievable!
He wanted them, he really wanted them!
Moria's eyes gleamed with desire.
He wanted their corpses!
The strongest aspect of the Lunarian race was their invincible bodies, capable of adapting to any environment. If he could turn them into zombies, they would surely become his trump card!
"Lunarian?"
Jinbe, seeing Moria distracted, didn't seize the opportunity to attack. He followed Moria's gaze, and when he saw S-Shark, who looked remarkably like him, his heart skipped a beat.
He didn't have any children!
Aside from the skin color, everything else was identical to him!
This was the World Government's secret weapon?
The three Seraphim joined the battle, once again turning the tide of the war.
Meanwhile, on the Grand Line
Lulusia Kingdom
The war had lasted for several days, with both sides in a stalemate.
Marine Stronghold
Kizaru picked up a steaming bowl of noodles.
"The Revolutionary Army is stalling for time."
"That seems to be the case for now."
Fujitora echoed.
They had clashed with the Revolutionary Army's commanders several times, but each time without a decisive outcome. The commanders would retreat when the time was up, clearly just to tie them down and buy time for revolutions in other countries.
Several times, they had cornered the commanders, but Dragon would always appear to help the commanders escape.
Then they would return a couple of days later.
With such a shameless fighting style, they had no good solution.
However, they also had their own reasons.
After a moment of silence.
Kizaru and Fujitora picked up their chopsticks and slurped their noodles.
Eat noodles, eat noodles!
One was passively slacking off, and the other held goodwill towards the Revolutionary Army. During battles, let alone giving their all, not holding back was already considered professional.
And this time, the Revolutionary Army had deployed all its elites, with overall strength not weaker than a Yonko crew, so they naturally weren't easily repelled.
"Report!"
While they were eating noodles, a sweating staff officer ran over.
"Admiral Kizaru, Admiral Fujitora, orders just came from headquarters! Fleet Admiral Akainu wants you to return to headquarters as soon as possible!"
"Hmm?"
Both looked up simultaneously.
They were being called back?
The staff officer glanced left and right, then leaned in and lowered his voice: "Fleet Admiral Akainu said that the Holy Knights have been dispatched!"
Kizaru slurped his noodles vigorously.
If the Holy Knights were dispatched, then there was indeed nothing for them to do. Those Celestial Dragons didn't like fighting alongside the Marines.
"Since that's the case, I can only go back, I suppose."
Kizaru muttered with feigned reluctance.
"What about you, Issho-san?"
"I still want to stay a bit longer."
Fujitora shook his head.
He could not feel justice in this war; the only sounds he heard were the despair and anger of the common people.
He wanted to stay and help those who needed it, even if it was just a small effort, it was better than standing by.
"Sigh."
Kizaru sighed softly and got up to leave.
Having spent some time with Fujitora, he had come to understand Fujitora's character. It was just a pity that the world wasn't so beautiful.
The more one struggled, the more pain one would experience.
Forget it, he was just a corporate slave; he had no right to dictate others' justice.
The Next Day, Morning
Revolutionary Army Temporary Operations Command Center
The commanders were crowded together, all bandaged.
Fighting an Admiral was extremely difficult.
"Kizaru left?!"
"That's right!"
"Fujitora also withdrew from the battlefield. He's leading a portion of Marine soldiers to help the displaced citizens rebuild their homes."
Everyone was quite puzzled.
Two Admirals suddenly withdrawing from the front lines seemed abnormal no matter how one looked at it.
"Could it be a conspiracy?"
"Unlikely!"
"Fujitora wouldn't do that."
"He's truly helping the citizens!"
Although Fujitora was an enemy, constantly raining meteors down on them, they greatly respected his character.
On the battlefield, Fujitora had spared them more than once to save people. In his eyes, the lives of the common people were the most important.
This justice was definitely not feigned.
The wind howled, and Dragon arrived at the temporary operations command center.
"Dragon?"
"I've already heard about it."
Sweat subtly beaded on Dragon's face.
"There's only one possibility for the Admirals to withdraw from the front lines!"
"The Holy Knights have been dispatched!"
"Everyone, the real war is about to begin!"
The Revolutionary Army's enemy had always been the World Government, not the Marines, especially the Holy Knights. When they entered the fray, that was when the true war would begin.
"Everyone, are you prepared?"
"Of course!"
Everyone responded in unison!
Even if it cost them everything, they would fight the World Government until the very last moment!
