Chapter 216: Balancing Roger
In a corner of the battlefield, Kaido, wielding his spiked club, fought madly.
His body and the spiked club were covered in blood, whether his own or others was unknown.
"Thunder Bagua!"
Feeling the terrifying aura of each individual on the battlefield, especially the twin dragon fight in the sky, Kaido felt the immense pressure and motivation.
He still needed to become stronger; that kind of strength was what he yearned for.
There were too many enemies, each one very powerful.
Kaido leaped high, bringing his club down.
Compared to his future, his technique was still slightly immature, but it already exhibited considerable power.
Heavy breathing echoed.
His blood was boiling.
On this battlefield, the battle was ceaseless.
Although only an apprentice, Kaido, valued by the Rocks Pirates and merely twenty-one years old, already possessed powerful combat strength equivalent to a Core Cadre, exhibiting a huge threat.
His tall body and curved horns were very conspicuous on this battlefield, making him a target for many World Government Strongmen.
The strength of "\"King of Hell\" Blazer" was terrifying.
On this battlefield, the Undead Legion continuously expanded.
Wherever the Undead Fire spread, corpses were tempered by the Undead Fire and all turned into Undead.
They wouldn't fall.
Whether their bones were broken or their heads shattered, they could recover in a short time.
In God Valley, where the aura of death permeated, these Undead were still slowly growing stronger under the burning of the Undead Fire.
With this ebb and flow, all the warriors sacrificed by the World Government turned into assets for the Rocks Pirates.
And the members sacrificed by the Rocks Pirates were also recycled.
If the threat of "\"Death Gun\" Leon" was direct, then the threat of "\"King of Hell\" Blazer" was widespread.
Many ants can kill an elephant.
More importantly, the enemies faced the attacks of these Undead Legion almost indiscriminately.
Especially in the gathering places of the Celestial Dragons, thousands upon thousands of Undead continuously assaulted them.
"\"Hunter King\" Besoro" held back a Top Tier Combatant; this was also the purpose of his trip.
Having been re-established and gradually expanding, the Hunter Guild was something he couldn't possibly risk his life for on behalf of the Rocks Pirates.
"\"Weather Queen\" Charlotte Linlin", relying on her powerful strength and the strength of her Homies, steadily gained the upper hand, suppressing her enemies.
Thunder Cloud Zeus, Sun Prometheus, Emperor Sword Napoleon - each of the three great Homies possessed terrifying strength comparable to a Quasi-Admiral.
"\"Werewolf\" Quero", continued his group attack tactics.
Among the high-end combatants freed up by "Death Gun", were two of his cadres.
Another one, with their help, dealt with his opponent and then joined the wolf pack together.
The World Government seemed increasingly unable to cope.
If this continued, the final outcome seemed to be nothing but utter defeat.
The Rocks Pirates were terrifying to the extreme! They seemed to have no weakness at all.
Their strength was simply not something the future Two Emperors Alliance could compare to.
As the situation grew more chaotic, more members of the Rocks Pirates began to become active.
Even though Byrnndi World was blocked by Sengoku, the deaths of the Celestial Dragons continuously increased.
Two days had passed since the war began.
The original number of nearly a thousand Celestial Dragons was now less than a third.
This was still under the cover of numerous Strongmen.
The Celestial Dragons wanted to evacuate, but the Rocks Pirates absolutely wouldn't allow it.
Once the Celestial Dragons evacuate, the Strongmen protecting them would be freed up and join the battlefield.
Any advantage the Rocks Pirates currently held would be negated.
One had to admit the terror of the World Government.
Even such a powerful Rocks Pirates was still far weaker than the World Government in overall strength.
If not for the World Government having the Celestial Dragons as a burden?
If not for the internal power struggles within the World Government?
If not for the extreme performance of "\"Death Gun\" Leon", who initiated a hunting mode that largely reversed the battle situation?
Then, whether in terms of Top Tier Combatant or high-end combatants, the Rocks Pirates would have fallen into a disadvantage.
The number of high-end combatants in the World Government far exceeded that of the Rocks Pirates.
This remained true even after the hunting spree by "\"Death Gun\" Leon".
A large number of pirates tied down a portion, and the Celestial Dragons, being a burden, also helped the Rocks Pirates tie down a large portion.
This led to the current advantage.
Hades although he did not participate in the battle on the surface, he was constantly observing the situation on the battlefield from the shadows.
"Divine Premonition" simulated a miniature God Valley battlefield in his mind.
The reason the Rocks Pirates were so successful was also related to Hades, the battlefield commander, directing things from behind the scenes.
The Den Den Mushi Jammer was shut off after the war reached a certain point.
News of this battle needed to spread to effectively strike at the World Government's prestige.
The crewmates Hades had arranged in God Valley were his messengers and command nodes, used to control the war situation and mobilize the strength of the Rocks Pirates for targeted strikes.
The protection provided by those Great Pirates for "\"Death Gun\" Leon" was actually Hades's command from the shadows.
Without Hades's command, how could the Rocks Pirates be so "orderly"?
The balance was about to be broken.
Rocks was completely tied down.
"\"Tyrant Dragon\" Zak" was at a disadvantage.
"\"Golden Lion\" Shiki", Wang Zhi, and Silver Axe's great battle against the three Five Elders was evenly matched, with slight advantages difficult to convert into victory.
"\"Hunter King\" Besoro" was in a stalemate with a Top Tier Combatant.
"\"Violence King\" Kosa" and Steel Bone Kong found it difficult to determine a winner.
"\"Destroyer\" Byrnndi World" was locked in a fierce struggle with Sengoku.
"\"Demon King\" Nash" also found it difficult to deal with his enemy.
Besides that, "\"Whitebeard\" Edward Newgate", "\"King of Hell\" Blazer", and "\"Weather Queen\" Charlotte Linlin" gained clear advantages.
Among them, Blazer and Charlotte Linlin had a chance to defeat their enemies in a short time.
However, could they hold out until then?
Hades had already "seen" it: in the distant sky, pterodactyls were soaring across the sky.
Army General "\"The Storm Dragon\"", and Marine Vice Admiral "\"Black Arm\" Zephyr", who already possessed Top Tier Combatant strength.
The World Government still had four Top Tier Combatants who were either protecting the World Nobles or being delayed by the high-end combatants of the Rocks Pirates.
At this point, whether the situation would change depended on whether Charlotte Linlin and the others could deliver.
Of course, there was also "\"Death Gun\" Leon".
There was still half an hour.
Now, he could no longer focus on the God Valley battlefield; there wasn't much else he could do.
Unless he personally joined, but that was impossible.
His gaze turned towards the distant Great Sea.
Over twenty kilometers away, a pirate ship was rapidly approaching God Valley, preparing to go around to the side with fewer docked ships to land on the Island.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Roger!"
A glint flashed in Hades's eyes as he chuckled excitedly.
Roger in the distance also seemed to notice his presence.
Their gazes collided across dozens of miles.
"What's wrong, Roger?"
Rayleigh couldn't help but ask, seeing Roger like this.
"We have trouble."
Roger said solemnly, his expression grave.
The two pirate ships slowly approached, and soon both saw the other.
They slowly stopped when they were two hundred meters apart, facing off against each other.
"My apologies, Roger, but this path is blocked!"
Hades stood on the Three-Headed Dragon Head, looking down at the Oro Jackson ahead.
Likewise, on the Goddess Figurehead, stood Roger's figure.
He wore a red captain's coat and had a large beard.
"Why aren't you participating in the battle, Hades?"
As a Core Cadre of the Rocks Pirates, to not be on the God Valley battlefield truly made him feel puzzled.
"If you're asking why, it's to stop you, Roger." Hades swung the Death Scythe Nightmare in his hand, a smile on his face.
His aura was ready, clearly prepared for battle.
"What if I insist on passing, Hades?!"
Roger gripped the handle of his sword, slowly drawing out Ace.
An invisible aura began to envelop his entire body.
"Then defeat me. Come, Roger!"
