#183 - Chapter 183 The Sudden Arrival of the Pirate Army

On the sea, the wind howled and the waves surged.

Jin An held the Wild Goose Wing Saber, the blade flashing with a cold light under the lightning.

He fixed his gaze forward, steadily blocking Kaido's sudden, lightning-fast attack.

“Rumble!!!”

The two men's power collided like a flood, creating a deafening roar.

Both had reverted to their human-beast forms, their optimal combat states.

In this form, they not only possessed the nimble and rapid movements of humans but also combined the diverse natural attacks of their animal forms.

Kaido suddenly swung his massive spiked club, the club whistling through the air as it struck directly at Jin An's head.

Jin An instantly sidestepped, then the Wild Goose Wing Saber spun nimbly in his hand, the blade stabbing straight at Kaido's chest.

Not to be outdone, Kaido blocked with his left hand and retaliated with the club in his right.

The clash between the two was like a storm of lightning, swift and violent.

They moved and dodged on the sea, their movements as fast as lightning, blade and club constantly colliding in the air.

The light of the blade and the shadow of the club intertwined into a howling storm, so intense it was overwhelming.

Each collision of weapons ignited dazzling sparks, as if forging a star-studded feast.

“This battle is not like the one I had with Roger before.” Jin An understood that against an opponent like Kaido, he had to go all out and could not afford any slackening.

Each swing of his blade contained absolute power and exquisite skill.

The blade light was as smooth as flowing water, while carrying the sharpness to tear everything apart.

Kaido's attacks were even more violent and fierce, each swing of the spiked club carrying a heavy sense of oppression and destructive power.

“Thunder Bagua!”

Kaido roared, the spiked club carrying lightning as it slashed horizontally.

His offensive was like a torrential storm, giving Jin An no chance to breathe.

Forcing Jin An to retreat continuously.

But Jin An was able to skillfully defuse each of the opponent's attacks.

‘It seems that even if Kaido didn't eat the Azure Dragon Fruit, he still developed these moves.’ Jin An mused.

The two constantly changed positions, and the scene of the battle became more and more intense.

Kaido struck fiercely, the spiked club sweeping across, bringing a gust of wind.

Jin An met him head-on, the Wild Goose Wing Saber rising against the wind, the two colliding again, erupting in a deafening roar.

The sea waves were stirred up by their power, splashing in all directions, as if the entire ocean was trembling for this battle.

For a time, the blade light flickered, and the shadow of the club was like lightning. Both of them used all their strength, sparing no effort in this life-and-death duel.

“You're nothing more than this!”

Kaido laughed wildly, his power surging out again.

“You're not any better!”

Jin An snorted coldly, the light of the Wild Goose Wing Saber suddenly strengthened, directly threatening Kaido's vitals.

The marines controlled the warships to slowly approach the shore.

Even with such a huge tonnage, the warships were still swaying on the rough sea, as if they could be overturned at any time.

Faced with such bad sea conditions, not to mention relying on warships to fight.

Several marine soldiers standing on the deck watched the duel between the two people in the distance, and a chill could not help rising in their hearts.

“Is this the influence that the strong can create?”

“Can humans really fight against this kind of power?”

The soldiers stared intently at the two figures engaged in fierce battle, and a deep sense of powerlessness rose in their hearts.

At this moment, only Jin An and Kaido were fiercely dueling on the sea.

Each of their collisions stirred up huge waves, agitating the surrounding sea water high, and the fierce aftermath constantly impacted everything around them.

Ordinary marines could only stand in the distance, watching all this nervously.

“We can't intervene at all,” an old soldier said, gritting his teeth, “Their battle is completely beyond our imagination.”

“Keep watching, don't be careless!”

Another officer shouted, but the hand holding the weapon couldn't help but tremble.

All the marine soldiers on the warship clenched their fists, holding their weapons, their eyes filled with awe and fear.

The sea wind howled, the waves beat, and the warship was constantly bumping, as if it would be swallowed by the aftermath of this earth-shattering battle at any time.

Those marine soldiers standing on the deck did not dare to take their eyes off the two fighting.

“Hold on!” a captain shouted loudly, trying to boost morale.

He loudly ordered, “Stay alert! Don't relax!”

His eyes kept scanning back and forth between the battlefield and the surrounding sea, and a trace of anxiety appeared on his face from time to time.

“Pay attention to any disturbances in the direction of the bow!”

What they feared most was that enemies would take advantage of the chaos to join the battle, which would seriously affect Jin An and the entire navy's situation.

Several marine soldiers quickly turned their eyes, weapons aimed at the direction that was warned, their breathing short and rapid, and sweat had soaked the military uniform on their backs.

Everyone was silently praying in their hearts, hoping that this alarm was a false alarm.

Unfortunately, things went against their wishes, and the thing that the marines feared most still happened.

Suddenly, a huge warship cut through the sea mist, appearing magnificent and ferocious.

That ship was much larger than the existing warships, and it could sail as steadily as Mount Tai even in the face of bad sea conditions.

The marines suddenly became nervous, and couldn't help but gasp, all eyes were attracted by this behemoth.

In the heavy fog, the giant ship cut through the sea and quickly approached.

“Hahahaha, Golden Lion asked us to attend the party, I didn't expect it to be quite lively.”

Suddenly, a wild laugh came from the giant ship, the sound was deafening, with unparalleled arrogance.

Standing on the deck was the notorious Avaro Pizzaro.

Avaro Pizzaro had a grim smile on his face, his eyes flashing with fanatic light, waving his hand and ordering:

“Open fire directly on Marineford, I want to leave no grass growing there!”

His voice was full of malice and determination.

The surrounding sea area became noisy because of Avaro Pizzaro's order.

Behind his huge warship, pirate ships emerged like ghosts, densely occupying the entire sea surface.

All of these ships raised giant cannons, and the dark muzzles were all aimed at Marineford.

“Damn it, it's Avaro Pizzaro!”

“Evil King, what is he doing here?”

“Everyone prepare for battle! We can't let them succeed!”

The marines' vigilance worked, and they had already discovered the enemy's situation when they first appeared.

Evil King Avaro Pizzaro, that name represents endless terror and blood.

His style of doing things is like his nickname, cold and ruthless, leaving no life.

Faced with this sudden and huge pressure, the marines had no other choice but to do their best to defend the line.

The giant ship's artillery fire poured down like raindrops, the sea waves were torn apart by the huge impact, and the momentum was earth-shattering.

However, the marines understood that before General Sengoku and other support troops arrived, they had to defend this last line of defense of Marineford.

Although the situation was critical, although the enemy was strong, the marines did not retreat in the slightest.

They were willing to defend this sea area with their lives until General Sengoku and other support troops arrived.

Even if there was endless darkness ahead, they would do their best to protect the light to the end.
