Chapter 603: The barrier magic covering Nine Snakes Island!
Seeing Kizaru's puzzled expression, Wood did not show off, but directly gave his opinion.
"For the World Government, the navy is nothing more than a tool and lackey.
This wave of operations by Akainu can be said to have taken the initiative to serve as a gunman for the World Government.
If the navy gets lucky and kills me on Kuja Island, the World Government can take over my company's property and territory with peace of mind.
If the Navy fails this time, they can use the excuse of misunderstanding and the Navy's prerogative to prevaricate me when they come to see me, and force the Navy to bow their heads and admit their mistakes.
As far as the World Government is concerned, no matter whether they win or lose with this wave of naval operations, they are almost guaranteed to make a profit without losing any money.
If the Navy wins, the World Government is the biggest winner. If the Navy loses, the World Government will just ask the Navy to find a few scapegoats to appease my anger."
After hearing Wood's analysis, Kizaru was immediately stunned, because he found that what Wood said was quite reasonable, and it was indeed in line with the principles of the World Government.
As for why he didn't think of this before, it's not that Kizaru is not smart enough, but that he is just a high-level wage earner, and those who can see through these tricks are usually those who are truly in power.
"So General Kizaru, I'm afraid your plan will come to nothing this time. You will have to fight this battle if you don't want to fight."
After hearing Wood's words, Kizaru also looked ugly at the moment, because after Wood's analysis, he found that the current situation was indeed the case.
As a naval admiral, if he still does nothing, or even leads the navy to retreat, then this behavior is no different from betraying the navy.
And if he chooses to fight Wood and Nine Snake Island, he will definitely have a place among the scapegoats that the World Government will make amends for Wood in the future.
As for killing Wood here, it is probably the only way to break the situation at the moment.
In this way, Kizaru not only has no faults, but even has great achievements. It is not a dream to rise to the top directly.
But killing Wood... is this idea realistic? Not to mention that he is just a monkey now, even with two more generals, it is estimated that Wood can only be defeated, but cannot be forced to stay.
The World Government tolerates Wood so much not only because he is rich and has vast connections, but also because he is already one of the unshakable behemoths on the sea.
Once Wood cannot be killed for sure and he turns to join the revolutionary army, that will be the last thing the world government wants to see.
Damn it, that bastard Sakaski, I really deserve to die this time!
After thinking about it for a while, Kizaru really couldn't think of any other way to break the situation besides defeating Wood, so his face became extremely ugly, and he directly greeted Akainu's family more than once in his heart.
Looking at Kizaru with an ugly face, Wood showed his signature professional smile again, looked at Kizaru and said: "General Kizaru, we are all smart people.
I like to deal with smart people the most, so I have an idea..."
"boom------!"
A huge explosion sounded again from Nine Snakes Island, followed by a burst of golden light and sharp sword energy exploding in a forest on the island.
A large number of trees and huge rocks were lifted into the sky like broken building block toys.
And between these huge rocks and trees, two figures can be vaguely seen, and they are constantly colliding.
Because the speed of the two colliding parties was too fast, the navy and Amazon warriors fighting on Nine Snakes Island at this moment could only see two streams of light, one yellow and one black, and from time to time a large amount of firelight collided with the ground in mid-air.
And every collision between these two figures will cause the entire island to shake violently.
The Nine Snakes Island of Nuoda seemed to be transformed into an arena for a duel between two people at this moment. Although they were not the only ones fighting on the island, the focus of most people was focused on them.
"So strong, is this the battle of the first level of strong men on the sea?"
"Although I have long heard that the ancient weapon Wood has strength comparable to that of the Four Emperors and Admirals, I never expected that he can actually be evenly matched with my uncle."
Zhan Momomaru waved the battle ax in his hand and pushed the pirate empress in front of him away while panting. Then he looked at Wood and Kizaru who were constantly colliding in the air, and couldn't help but said in surprise.
"Huh, evenly matched? I'm afraid you have something wrong with your eyes. Kizaru is very strong, but his biggest advantage is just his faster speed.
Now he has shown most of his strength, but my husband is not serious yet!
In the top battle two years ago, Kizaru and Aoki barely suppressed Wood. Now Kizaru is the only one, what can we do to him?"
As if to verify what Hancock said, almost immediately after she finished speaking, Kizaru, who was holding the Amancongyun Sword, was chopped away by Wood's sword.
The figure flying upside down at high speed flew directly out of Nine Snake Island and directly onto the sea.
And this was Wood's purpose in the first place. Kizaru and the others, the former three admirals of the navy, had devil fruit abilities that were perfect for firing map cannons.
After using AOE skills one by one, not to mention how many people on the island can survive, the entire Nine Snakes Island cannot withstand their torment.
If Wood and Kizaru were completely serious, they wouldn't even need the so-called "Demon Slayer Order". The aftermath of their battle alone would be enough to sink this island.
If Nine Snake Island sinks, then everything will become meaningless, so Wood chose to chop Kizaru into the sea with a knife, which was what he had discussed with Hancock at the beginning.
In terms of current strength, Wood is stronger than Kizaru, and even defeating him is not impossible.
But compared to Akainu and Aokiji, Kizaru is the most troublesome admiral for Wood.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The ability of the opponent's "Sparkling Fruit" is too incredible. Even if he cannot defeat the enemy, with the speed given by the fruit's ability, Kizaru will fight no matter who he faces on the sea.
Almost always invincible.
It's a very simple reason. If I can't fight, can I still not run?
Regardless of whether his fighting style is vulgar or not, if Kizaru is determined to entangle someone, there will definitely not be many guys in the sea who can get rid of him.
Watching the battlefield move from Nine Snake Island to the sea, and seeing the huge noises coming from the sea from time to time, Zhan Momomaru quickly calmed down.
"So what if I am entangled by the ancient weapon Wood? With the remaining strength of Nine Snake Island, do you think you can save this island?"
Zhan Momomaru used his weapon color to cover the ax in his hand. Although he withstood Hancock's "aromatic feet", his body was also pushed back several meters by the impact.
In terms of strength, Zhan Momomaru cannot be Hancock's opponent, and just like Kizaru versus Wood, even if his strength is not as good as his opponent, there is still no problem in entangling him.
The Kuja Pirates are the original pirate group of the Shichibukai, and the overall strength of the pirate group is actually at the bottom among the Shichibukai.
Like Hawkeye and Jinbe, the Pirate Empress Hancock was able to obtain the title of "The King's Shichibukai" almost solely through her own fighting power.
As for the strength of the other cadres of the Nine Snakes Pirates, to be honest, they are probably much better than the cadres of the Don Quixote family, or even the cadres under the fat man Moonlight Moria.
Apart from Hancock, the most capable people in the entire Kuja Pirates are her two younger sisters, Sonia and Mari.
These two people with the ability of the Snake Fruit faced Luffy who had not yet learned Haki two years ago and were completely defeated in the fighting arena. This shows their level of strength.
The few rear admirals accompanying him now, although they are all bitches who don't even deserve their names, can still easily overwhelm Hancock's two younger sisters.
As for the other members of the Nine Snakes Pirates and even the other Amazon warriors on the island, it goes without saying.
"Pacifist, change the battle mode, give up the enemy locking system, and prioritize the covering strike on Nine Snakes Island!"
After hearing Zhan Momomaru's order, the nearly ten remaining pacifists on the Navy's side also had their eyes flashing red. They immediately changed their original battle goals and began to bomb the Nine Snakes Island indiscriminately.
When the female warriors of Amazon Lily saw this situation, they naturally hurriedly set up their bows and arrows to besiege the pacifists.
However, it is a pity that even if a bow and arrow is attached with a certain degree of domineering, when it hits a pacifist whose body is made of steel, it will only leave small dents, and it cannot hurt the pacifist at all.
causing substantial harm.
Yellow lasers continued to explode on the island, and just when those lasers were about to hit the buildings on the island, an invisible protective shield suddenly lit up and bounced the incoming lasers away.
"It was blocked by unknown forces and could not destroy the target building. The unknown forces are being analyzed...
The analysis of the power is completed, but the identity of the power is unknown. Through database analysis, its power is as high as 80% similar to the ancient weapon Wood..."
The main combat power of Kuja Island was basically blocked by them. Originally, Zhan Momomaru wanted to use the pacifists' indiscriminate attacks to destroy the entire island.
But when he saw a hemispherical protective shield suddenly light up on the city on Nine Snake Island, and heard the pacifist's analysis report, Zhan Momomaru's face instantly showed an ugly look.
Ancient weapon Wood is by far the most mysterious and powerful person on the sea. As for why he is called "mysterious", it is not because he often disappears, but also because the power he uses has always been unknown.
The Yonko Pirates, who are known throughout the sea, have fought against each other many times, and the Navy has more or less figured out the capabilities of the Yonko and his cadres.
But only about the ancient weapon Wood, everyone on the sea knew almost nothing about him except that he was a great swordsman.
It could be said that he is a Devil Fruit user, but many people have witnessed Wood swimming in the sea, and he does not have the weaknesses that a Devil Fruit user should have.
But if you want to say that he is not a devil fruit user, he has all kinds of magical abilities.
Especially during the "War on the Top", first there was the ability to slash the wind, then there was the ice ability that was not weaker than General Aokiji, and then there was the super strong recovery and regeneration ability, and the most outrageous thing was that it was followed by
Resurrected the dead Whitebeard.
A variety of abilities that go against common sense can almost only be explained by those with devil fruit abilities.
However, the ancient weapon Wood is not afraid of sea rocks and sea water, which has led to his whole body being shrouded in layers of mysteries, and has even become the most mysterious existence on the sea.
Many people are also speculating that Wood is actually some kind of special race that was eliminated eight hundred years ago, or that they are like Kaido and Big Mom, a human with a special physique, or someone
The product of scientific research results.
After all, Wood also has a special ability, which is that he can increase his strength by burning his life. This special ability is no longer a secret after "The War at the Top".
Just like Doflamingo commissioned Caesar to study Wood's abilities, the Navy's scientific force has naturally studied Wood's "unidentified" power.
Through power analysis, the pacifists have just discovered that the huge protective shield that appeared on Nine Snake Island is as high as 80% similar to the power system used by Wood in the "War on the Top".
"Damn ancient weapons, have you even thought of this situation? Most of the rumors about him in the sea are indeed true.
He is strong, possesses the overall situation and strategy, and is also...well, extremely lustful."
Zhan Momomaru's original idea was to use the firepower of the "pacifists" to sink the Nine Snake Island first while he held the Pirate Empress and Kizaru held Wood.
In this way, the Pirate Empress Hancock, as a Devil Fruit user, will inevitably be at a disadvantage if she loses the island as a foothold.
Moreover, the navy will have more upper hand when fighting the warriors of the Amazon Lily Kingdom.
Because fighting on Nine Snake Island is the territory of the Amazon Lily Kingdom, the Amazon warriors who grew up here know better how to use the terrain here to fight.
However, due to the barrier magic that Wood had set up on Nine Snake Island in advance, Zhan Momomaru's previous idea came to nothing.
The lasers of the "pacifists" were unable to penetrate Wood's barrier magic, not to mention the cannonballs on the navy warships.
As the Amazons on the island fought and retreated, and finally retreated into Wood's barrier magic, the navy had no choice but to dock the warships in pursuit and land on the island to fight.
Seeing the orders issued by Zhan Taomaru and the navy landing on the island one after another, both Hancock who was fighting with him and Granny Ye who was directing the battle in the palace were greatly relieved.
Although Wood set up defensive barrier magic on Nine Snake Island, although the pirate world is very tolerant of various powers, the magic elements in this world are quite lacking.
For example, the magic power that Wood usually consumes when using magic is stored in his own body and is restored by himself through extremely fast magic recovery speed.
