Chapter 503

Konan's cold voice gave Whitebeard and Garp a pause.

Why wouldn't they be confident?

With the two of them joining forces in this world, besides the god, who could stand against them?!

Thinking of that possibility, both their hearts sank.

Unless the god truly appeared!

For a moment, anxiety filled them.

And just as unease settled in their hearts, the other pirates of the Avengers had already begun to revel.

"Garp has actually left the Marines and is preparing to attack the Ninja Pirate Crew. We've already won this war!"

"With Garp joining, how can the Shinobi Nation fight us? Who can stop Garp?!"

"This is simply, a sure victory!"

In their hearts, they had already determined that they would achieve victory in this war.

Because of Garp, because of this former Marine hero.

Because in this kind of war, someone with Garp's true strength could completely guide the direction of the war!

The morale of the people of Shinobi Nation was the opposite of the Avengers. Their hearts sank to the bottom.

They never imagined that Garp would actually appear in this war.

Who among them could resist him?

"Damn it!"

"Aren't these guys afraid of divine retribution?!"

"What do we do now? Could it be that we've really lost this war?!"

"No, we definitely won't lose! No matter who the opponent is, no matter how strong the opponent is, we are the Shinobi Nation! We are the Sage Shinobi Nation that will bring peace and justice to this world!"

Some hearts were filled with uncertainty, but there were also those who remained firm in their beliefs.

But no matter what, this war, having progressed to this point, must reach a conclusion.

Everyone had already run out of options.

Unless...

"I surrender! I choose to surrender!"

Suddenly someone yelled, swinging the sword in his hand towards the comrade beside him, and under the comrade's incredulous gaze, stabbed the sword into his chest.

This was a pirate of the Shinobi Nation, having just joined not long ago. 

So, under this life-or-death reversal of the situation, his heart couldn't bear the pressure, leading to this reaction.

"Do you want to die!"

Someone roared. It was a member of the Ninja Pirate Crew from the Sage Shinobi World.

In the teachings of the Sage Shinobi World, those who betrayed their beliefs, betrayed their comrades, were unforgivable, deserving of everyone's scorn.

Therefore, seeing this pirate's actions, he couldn't help but speak out directly against the surrendering pirate.

But he was stopped by a powerful pirate from the Avengers Alliance.

"Hehehe, you want to kill that guy? I won't allow it!"

The pirate spoke, his tone arrogant.

"All brothers who want to join us, take advantage of this good opportunity and come over quickly. It'll be too late if you wait!" He yelled loudly. 

The previous pirate's rebellious surrender, in his eyes, was a perfect opportunity.

A good opportunity to make the Sage Shinobi Nation completely collapse.

Because this was the way of the pirates, their hearts always contained weakness. When faced with life or death, they were hesitant.

At times like these, once someone took the lead, it could cause a chain reaction.

Sure enough, this pirate's words made many people even more hesitant.

The Sage Shinobi Nation's rise in such a short time naturally couldn't guarantee that every member had unwavering faith.

More people simply wanted to receive the Shinobi Nation's protection, to enjoy the shade under a big tree, to bask in reflected glory.

So, upon discovering that the big tree was about to fall, that the fierce tiger protecting it was very well about to die, their hearts wavered, shaken, wanting to surrender.

This angered many in the Sage Shinobi Nation, who wanted to stop it but were tied down by their opponents.

"Let them go."

Ranzuki spoke. Konan's words just moments ago weren't loud, but he had heard them.

Therefore, he knew that in this war, in the end, they would absolutely still win.

Since these people wanted to surrender, then let them personally walk onto the dead end they had chosen!

With Ranzuki's words, the faint guilt in the hearts of many hesitant people instantly vanished. They started walking towards the Alliance's side.

People on both sides subconsciously began to separate, returning to their own camps.

At this moment, one could see that the number of people on the Sage Shinobi Nation's side had suddenly decreased significantly.

Originally, they had the advantage in numbers, yet now, they had become the side with fewer people.

It wasn't because of battle losses. 

In the previous fighting, both sides' losses were actually about the same, around ten thousand dead on each side.

The reason for this disparity was because many people had surrendered.

"It seems that we've won this war."

A major figure among the pirates spoke, looking at the people of the Sage Shinobi Nation opposite them, already full of confidence.

Only Garp and Whitebeard, because of Konan's words just now, were still apprehensive.

Whitebeard couldn't help but ask, "So, is the god going to appear?"

Saying this, his gaze focused directly on Konan.

Garp also had a solemn expression. 

If the god truly appeared, then...

"Originally, that wouldn't have been the case, but since Garp chose to join this war, then be prepared to face a Diety."

Konan spoke. She could sense Madara's presence.

However, Uchiha Madara did not appear.

As if he hadn't heard Konan's words, he stood in place without moving.

This made Konan frown, then her heart skipped a beat.

As if understanding something, Konan gritted her teeth, then loudly addressed the people: "Since everyone is still standing on the Sage Shinobi Nation's side, then regardless of your reasons for standing here, it proves one thing: you are members of the Sage Shinobi Nation.

"I've said before, the Sage Shinobi Nation's purpose in appearing in this world is only one thing, and that is to bring freedom and peace to this world!

"This is my ideal, and it's also our ideal.

"Now, someone wants to stop us from realizing our ideal, wants to defeat us, wants to eliminate us!

"ARE YOU WILLING TO JUST LIE DOWN AND SURRENDER?!"

Konan spoke loudly, her voice spreading in all directions.

"No!! NO!! NO!!"

Immediately, there was a resounding response.

It's said that the power of faith is the most terrifying, and ideals are the source of faith!

At this moment, the hearts of the people of the Sage Shinobi Nation once again boiled with passion.

"To die for a just ideal, I have no regrets in this life!"

Someone yelled loudly. 

It was a member of the Sage Shinobi World.

"I have no regrets! I have no regrets!"

The Sage Shinobi Nation's momentum had returned!

This scene caused the expressions of many in the Avengers Alliance to change, their hearts trembling.

Especially Garp. 

He saw the same determination and fervor in the faces of these people from the Sage Shinobi Nation as he saw in his own Marine subordinates.

It was the outward manifestation of inner faith.

"In that case, then I'll just send you all to your deaths!"

A voice rang out. It came from Kaido. 

He had already returned to his human form, a club gripped in his hand. 

His towering figure carried a terrifying sense of oppression, his tone filled with cold-blooded brutality.

After saying these words, he moved.

At this point, the disparity in numbers had reversed. 

There was no longer a need for him to transform into a giant dragon to hold back the majority of people.

He could finally, in human form, start a massacre!

"Fight!"

In the next moment, both sides charged towards each other once again.

The great war erupted anew.

A song of blood and sorrow began to play.
