The situation on the battlefield was becoming increasingly strange, with pirates facing samurai and samurai facing each other. The two thousand samurai that Orochi had thrown onto the battlefield had completely upset the situation. His ambush tactics sowed distrust among the samurai, who were previously united against a common enemy.
Coming from different regions, the samurai did not even recognize each other, much less those from the same region, especially in the midst of such disorderly chaos.
As for the Beast Pirates, it is even more impossible to recognize who are the samurai under the command of Orochi and who are the samurai under the command of the daimyos.
A group of a thousand pirates facing a crowd of samurai, and yet, they dominated the field.
"How could it come to this?" On the deck of the flying warship, Gion watched with sadness and compassion as the samurai slaughtered each other, lamenting their plight.
For her, a samurai should die in frontal combat, not by the despicable betrayal of an ambush.
"In a sense, Orochi has really helped the Beast Pirates and, in some ways, us too..." Mihawk folded his hands on his chest and calmly watched all this happen.
Accustomed from an early age to living outside of Mary Geoise and constantly confronting desperate criminals, he had developed a tolerance for deceit, lying, and betrayal.
On the contrary, Gion, who grew up in the safe environment of the Navy Headquarters, she still has a more obvious innocence and childishness in her character.
At that moment, both of them once again noticed the arrival of a large group of samurai.
"This must be tens of thousands!" Gion covered his mouth in astonishment.
"Shimotsuki Yasuie, Shimotsuki Ushimaru, now all the characters are here." Mihawk focused his attention on Shimotsuki Ushimaru and muttered to himself. "So this is the direct descendant of Shimotsuki Ryuma."
...
The samurai army immediately noticed the abnormality on the battlefield, so they decided to first take care of Orochi, who was observing the battle in the distance. They quickly surrounded the battlefield and headed towards Orochi.
This attracted attention and panic from Orochi's side. "What do we do now? Damn Shimotsuki, why can't they leave us alone! They're idiots, traitors!"
Kurozumi Higurashi watched helplessly as Orochi jumped up angrily while cursing. She was so tired. "Stop scolding and prepare to fight. We have no way to retreat."
At this moment, Kurozumi Semimaru stood up and said: "I will stay here to stop them..."
Before Kurozumi Semimaru could finish speaking, a deep voice interrupted him. "Don't hurry..."
"Mr. Queen?" Semimaru was surprised to see Queen approaching.
"Don't worry, those warriors don't dare to fight you."
"What are you talking about?" A look of confusion appeared on Higurashi's ugly old face, while Orochi looked at Queen curiously.
"Because we have this woman on our hands!" Queen said without concern, as he stepped aside to show everyone Kozuki Toki, who was being dragged by two pirates and was completely tied with ropes and sea stone handcuffs.
"It's her..." Higurashi looked at the blue-haired woman in surprise, while Orochi showed a lustful expression, even with saliva pooling at the corner of his mouth. "She is so beautiful..."
"Great, she is simply the best hostage!" Higurashi exclaimed excitedly, then turned around in confusion. "But why don't you take her to the place where Oden is?"
"Hmph, our captain hates people interfering in his battles!" Queen curled his lips.
"Okay, hang it up and let's see if Shimotsuki and the others dare to approach."
"Yeah!" Orochi nodded repeatedly.
Effectively.
When Shimotsuki Ushimaru and the others approached they instantly noticed Kozuki Toki. Even Kin'emon and others who were in combat changed their expressions drastically after seeing her.
"Toki-sama!!!"
Ushimaru stopped his horse with a displeased expression, then ordered everyone to stop and shouted angrily at Orochi. "You actually use women as a shield!"
"Gufufufu!" Orochi enthusiastically displayed his insolence, while pointing a rifle at Toki tied to the post. "This is Kozuki Oden's wife. If you dare to take another step forward, I will shoot her with my own hands!"
Just as the tension reached its peak, an almost deafening roar shook the entire battlefield like thunder. "Oden Two-Sword Style: Tougen Totsuka!"
All eyes were instantly drawn to the source of this sound.
A red flash like lightning, sped over the blue dragon's body and rose into the sky, leaving a deep wound almost to the bone on Kaido's body.
A large amount of blood gushed out, and even someone as strong as Kaido let out a piercing and terrifying scream, before falling with a crash.
Queen's eyes almost popped out when he saw this scene: "Are you kidding? The captain has been defeated, right?"
Oden, who was high in the sky, was preparing to completely finish off Kaido, but at that moment he saw a flying warship approaching. The next moment he felt that something was wrong, so he lowered his head, and his eyes were filled with fury and shock. "Toki!!!"
At the same time, on the floating warship, Mihawk coldly looked towards the battlefield and said: "Kaido has lost, now it's your turn, Byrnndi World..."
"Hmph! I can finally act, right? I really want to vent my anger!"
...
Kozuki Oden landed from the air, but his eyes were not on Kaido, who was half-kneeling in front of him. Instead, he turned into a red beam of light and passed over the latter's shoulder, and exploded towards the position where Toki was.
"Ah, ah, ah, Oden is coming!" Orochi stepped back tremblingly.
"Don't worry, he can't hurt us." At this time, Semimaru stepped forward and made a gesture of overlapping his middle and index fingers. "Protective barrier!"
Instantly, a transparent glass-like shield appeared in front of them, forming a kind of bowl that enveloped the entire group.
[Clang!]
As soon as the shield was formed, the red lightning violently crashed into it.
But what left Oden helpless was that no matter how hard he slashed with his swords, he couldn't break through the barrier.
"What to do? What to do? How can I save Toki..." Just as Oden was frantically slashing at the barrier, an extremely sharp sound of breaking through the air appeared in everyone's ears.
This made everyone instinctively raise their heads to look towards the source of the sound.
"That is..." Everyone could clearly see a huge fireball falling from the sky like a meteorite.
And it seemed to be pointing directly at the place where Oden was!
[Rumble, rumble...]
"Oden-sama!" Kin'emon and the rest of the Kozuki family followers looked at the cracked earth and the dense column of smoke that rose, and they all screamed in horror.
The next moment, a red bolt of lightning shot out first from the dense smoke, followed closely by a black bolt of lightning, both moving at an incredibly fast speed.
[Bang! Bang! Bang!]
One could hear air explosions in the sky, vaguely seeing two beams of light like lightning chasing each other and colliding with each other.
Orochi and others were not affected at all due to the transparent barrier.
"Who is that person?" Orochi looked at Queen in confusion. "Is he a member of your Beast Pirates?"
"Ah this..." Queen didn't know what to say.
At the same time, Kaido and King were also watching the confrontation. And they realized that the World Government had taken action.
"Damn!" Kaido stood up with gritted teeth and clenched his fists angrily.
"What should we do next?" King asked softly at his side.
Kaido took a deep breath to contain his anger, but the discomfort towards the newcomer was already ingrained in his heart. "Keep doing what we have to do."
"Kill them all!"
"Understood!" King obeyed Kaido's orders without hesitation.
...
[Boom!]
Oden, covered in sweat, clashed his two swords against Byrnndi World's hundredfold black fist, causing a head-on collision once again. "Who are you and why do you want to interfere in Wano's war!"
"I am the World Destroyer!"
"Byrnndi World!!"
[Clang!]
Sword and fist met once more. The air around them was compressed into visible waves, and the resulting energy generated hurricane-force winds that surrounded them like a tornado, emitting a sharp metallic sound.
But soon, Byrnndi World and Oden were violently separated. They were both thrown backwards by the explosive shockwaves.
"More-More Hyakubai Soku!"
[Swoosh!]
In the next instant, Oden instantly passed by where Byrnndi World had been standing. However, the latter moved even faster, like a black lightning bolt that rose to an even greater height in the sky.
But what happened next in the sky made everyone, including Oden, stop their movements.
"More-More Hyakubai Saizu!" With a scream, Byrnndi World's entire body began to inflate like a balloon under the influence of the power of the Devil Fruit.
He was originally around four meters tall, but now, under the astonished gaze of tens of thousands of people, he grew to forty meters, one hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred meters, and finally reached an astonishing height of four hundred meters.
