Chapter 155: Puyol Dies
Chapter 155: Puyol Dies
Puyol felt his vision blur, his mind a mess.
Intense pain spread from his head throughout his entire body.
It brought him close to losing his mind while simultaneously keeping him conscious.
Blood constantly flowed from his head.
Dimly, he heard footsteps and struggled to stand up.
Supporting himself with his hands on the ground, he immediately collapsed again, his eyes wide as he looked towards the direction of the sound.
Yet, his vision was blurry, only able to see a dark shadow.
The head is sturdy, yet also fragile.
Rocks D.
Xebec's ruthless kick, utilizing the Conqueror's Haki Infusion technique, had struck Puyol's head.
That he was still alive now was a testament to Puyol's strong physique and vitality.
Puyol's neck was already broken, his skull shattered, his entire head a chaotic mess like paste.
Bone fragments were mixed in the fragile parts of his head, constantly bringing Puyol unbearable pain.
Blood flowed from his seven orifices, his vision severely damaged.
Even recovery would take a long time, and complete recovery from such an injury was simply impossible; there would be severe after-effects.
But now, he wouldn't have that chance.
"Silver Axe, finish him off!" Rocks said calmly, ignoring Puyol lying on the ground.
"Captain, leave it to me." Silver Axe nodded seriously, without any hesitation.
He raised his axe and brought it down, directly severing Puyol's head.
Marine Admiral "Evening Elephant" died in battle!
With the war having reached this point, letting Puyol live for even one more second was a waste for the Rocks Pirates.
Efficiency was the most important thing now.
"Keep killing! I don't want to drag this out anymore!" Rocks' powerful words carried absolute, unquestionable authority.
As soon as he finished speaking, Rocks rushed towards the nearest target.
His powerful Observation Haki, although not capable of covering the entire sea area for hundreds of kilometers like Hades, could easily cover tens of kilometers.
Rocks D.
Xebec was largely aware of the combat situation on the battlefield, especially the situation of the Top Tier Combatants.
Silver Axe raised his axe, holding it with both hands.
His not-so-tall body contained terrifying strength.
His gaze beneath the silver armor revealed intense killing intent.
His gaze turned towards the Marine Vice Admiral who had been startled by Rocks.
At this moment, the Vice Admiral was stunned, lost in the scene of Marine Admiral Puyol's death.
Soon, with a flash of the axe, the Marine Vice Admiral's body was split in two.
As a pirate who had joined the Rocks Pirates in its early days.
Silver Axe held great reverence for Rocks.
He would execute Rocks' orders without fail.
Since Captain Rocks said kill! Then kill!
The suppressed Allied Forces simply couldn't spare combat power to contain Silver Axe.
One can imagine the fate of the members targeted by Silver Axe.
"Golden King" Donovan was currently in combat with Army General "Brown Anaconda".
They had been opponents since the early stages of the war, and the opponents they faced in between had changed many times.
However, in the end, they were still opponents.
Donovan's Golden Sea.
The Devil Fruit Awakening's assimilation of the ground, creating precisely controlled, high-speed flowing liquid gold that produced high heat.
Brown Anaconda's mud swamp.
The two forces clashed constantly.
In Donovan's hands, the Gold-Gold Fruit, aside from not being able to elementalize, showed no difference in how its ability was manifested.
They were old opponents who knew each other's strengths and weaknesses.
Although there might be a slight gap in strength, in actual combat, neither could gain the upper hand.
They had been in a great battle for over two days and two nights, their consumption was immense.
In the past, they would have stopped, temporarily ceased combat, and resumed the war after recovering.
But things were different now.
This was the final battle between the Rocks Pirates and the Allied Forces.
Rocks D.
Xebec had issued a death order to fight to the end and completely defeat the Allied Forces.
Rocks D.
Xebec was approaching.
He was simply too conspicuous, his terrifying, unconcealed aura as dazzling as the sun.
He was here to reap.
The war had lasted so long, and everyone had suffered significant consumption.
But Rocks, aside from some loss of stamina, still maintained his peak state.
After dealing with Black, there was no obstruction from strongmen like Kong and the CP0 Director-General.
No one could restrain him.
Just as planned beforehand, Rocks began to reap.
The targets he focused on were major targets, the Top Tier Combatants of the Allied Forces.
Rocks wasn't interested in those with weaker strength, nor did he want to waste time.
Moreover, enemies of that level would naturally be dealt with by High-Ranking Cadres and Core Cadres like Silver Axe, who were gradually freed up.
They didn't have much time left.
Hades had "seen" the constantly approaching World Government Support Unit.
They were within the range of his Observation Haki.
At that time, they were approximately four hours away from reaching the battlefield.
He had secretly informed Rocks of this news through Jiu's ability, which was the true reason that prompted Rocks to accelerate his actions.
And now, the World Government Support Unit was approximately three hours away from arriving.
The overall strength of the Support Unit felt somewhat terrifying even to Hades.
Two Five Elders, strongmen among the Top Tier Combatants.
Ten God's Knights Reserve, each possessing combat power no weaker than a Marine Vice Admiral.
Their ages and strength varied.
The weaker ones were equivalent to regular Vice Admirals, while the stronger ones possessed Quasi-Admiral Level combat power, comparable to Top Tier Combatants.
Including the "Guardian" sent out by various Families, this number would double again.
There were also elites who had joined through various means, their quality also varying.
The weak ones only had Officer Level combat strength, while the strong ones also had the strength of an Elite Vice Admiral.
This force lacked a bit in Top Tier Combatants, having only two, but the number of High-End combat power far exceeded the current Allied Forces.
With the war having continued until now, the Rocks Pirates had suffered significant consumption.
Most High-Ranking Cadres and Core Cadres were not at their peak combat power.
Once this Support Unit was allowed to join in, it would definitely inflict a heavy blow on the Rocks Pirates.
In terms of Top Tier Combatants, the Rocks Pirates had already fallen into a disadvantage.
Hades, Titan, Shiki, Newgate, Charlotte Linlin, and others had not yet grown to their peak.
The Allied Forces not only had three Army Generals, three Marine Admirals, Admiral Candidates, Army Admiral Candidates, and CP0 Top-tier Powerhouses.
They also had young Top Tier Combatants like Garp and Sengoku.
In terms of the number of Top Tier Combatants, both sides were actually evenly matched.
The reason why the Rocks Pirates held the advantage was not only because the Rocks Pirates had stronger overall strength.
It was also because the Rocks Pirates possessed a large number of High-End combat power.
This constantly increased the Rocks Pirates' advantage, leading to the current situation.
Rocks' terrifying charisma even transformed the Rocks Pirates' deficiency in military strength into an advantage.
The arrival of the Support Unit would reverse the tide of this war.
The Rocks Pirates would completely fall into a disadvantage.
Therefore, before this, they needed to weaken the Allied Forces as much as possible.
In Rocks' mind, he already had the idea of retreat.
If the Rocks Pirates were maintaining their peak state, the Rocks Pirates would definitely be willing to charge forward and fight with them.
But now, knowing they might lose, how could they charge forward?
Three hours of time was enough to do many things.
