Eight Hundred Pirate Kings

 Chapter 74 - Saving Borsalino

“MOCHI MOCHI NO MI!”

‘There s third voice?’

Just after Sengoku hardened himself against the attacks of the two Wexford, a voice different from Wexford’s and Belle-mere’s but abruptly rang in his ears.

“It’s that guy!”

After a brief moment of thought, the owner of this voice was also heard by Wexford.

—The one who suddenly intervened on the battlefield was none other than the pirate with powerful seeing colors who fought with Kuzan before!

‘It seems that he has recovered almost; in this case, things are a little tricky ah.’

BOOM!

Once again, Sengoku, who resisted the attack of Wexford, raised his eyes and looked forward. That tall one-armed pirate had indeed come towards this way.

With the action of this pirate, the surrounding ice surface was gradually replaced by a layer of rice cakes.

After the well-groomed Katakuri joined the battle, Sengoku also began to worry. If only facing the attack of two people, Sengoku could handle it, but with the addition of Katakuri. Even if Sengoku now had six arms, there was no way to fight three people with one.

‘Could it be that the marine is going to lose this time?’

Sengoku’s mind suddenly flashed a scenario that he had never thought of before. As soon as this idea appeared, Sengoku immediately became a little nervous.

The reason why Sengoku had such a thought is mainly because this situation now, indeed a bit unfavorable to the marine.

Garp was stalemated with the opponent, Kuzan was seriously injured, Borsalino was trapped, and now he was surrounded by three people. —Whoever looked at this situation would know that the marine was at a disadvantage.

“The Seven Warlords of the Sea are really unreliable.”

Before the battle began, the Seven Warlords of the Sea Jimbei did not participate in this battle for some reason, while Hawkeye Mihawk and Doflamingo, together with Sakazuki, blocked the retreat of Wexford and others.

Remaining in the scene, Gecko Moria directly took Thriller Bark left, while Empress Hancock was not moving, only on the sidelines to watch.

Now the only one to participate in the war was only Crocodile. However, a big factor for Crocodile to participate in the war was because of his defeat in Alabasta when he lost to Wexford Pirates.

‘We can not continue to fight like this.’

Realizing that the battlefield had changed hands in terms of attack and defense, Wexford was about to close in on Katakuri when six arms swung forward at the same time.

The fist wind with golden light destroyed the ice surface in front of Wexford, directly cutting off the erosion of Katakuri’s ‘Mochi Mochi no Mi’.

But then, the area of the battlefield was further compressed. The already fragmented ice surface was now all that was left, which was not a good thing for Sengoku’s giant Buddha size.

However, the reason Sengoku shattered the connection between the two sides was mainly the idea of stopping the battle. Now that the marine was already at a disadvantage, continuing to fight would only make the marine’s battle power keep breaking down.

If it was on land, the marine could still rely on the number of people to fight. However, on the ice, the other side only needed a big move, then a large part of the marine would have to sink into the sea.

“Sengoku, what now?”

Tsuru, who saw that Sengoku had the idea of stopping the war, came to the Fleet Admiral’s side and asked him. —Tsuru and Sengoku’s thoughts were actually similar. The current situation was clearly not favorable to the marine. The most important thing was that the marine Admiral Borsalino was controlled by the opponent.

Sengoku looked at Borsalino, who was still trapped in the black cage, and said in a deep voice, “As Zephyr often says, Borsalino relies too much on Devil Fruit abilities and will be restrained on all fronts when he meets a Nagi Nagi no Mi user.”

Sengoku didn’t want the Admiral to be captured alive, so rescuing Borsalino was on the agenda, “I don’t know what happened to Sakazuki, and now Borsalino is trapped, we can only see if there is a chance to get him back.”

“To save him out of fear is a little difficult.” Tsuru looked at the already broken battlefield with a serious face and said in a low voice, “The lack of information is too serious. We completely underestimated the strength of the opponent. According to the previous information, we can indeed wipe them out in this Water 7, but all of a sudden, they become even more powerful than the Seven Warlords of the Sea pirates. The plan simply can not be carried out properly.”

“How in the world did these people come out? Before, there’s no news at all, whether it is that Wexford in the East Blue or in Alabasta. Those two people have never appeared.”

The two people that Wexford mentioned are none other than Belle-mere, who transformed into a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and Rosinante, who used the Nagi Nagi no Mi.

Especially Rosinante, the opponent who was exactly the same as that disciple of his back then, made Sengoku wonder if that Wexford had some special Devil Fruit ability.

Compared to Sengoku, who put his eyes on Rosinante, Tsuru looked in another direction, “There should be no way to get Borsalino back from them now, but we can exchange hostages.”

“Exchange of hostages?”

When Sengoku heard this from Tsuru, he didn’t think for a moment who to use as a hostage. The opponent in the war could be very powerful, and the marine simply did not have the opportunity to capture a person over a short time in exchange for Borsalino.

However, at least Sengoku was also known as the existence of the wise Admiral. Not waiting for Tsuru to start explaining, Sengoku turned his head to look at the pirate ship from the East Blue to the Grand Line.

At this time, on the deck of the ship, Buggy, teenage Shanks, and Robin were all there. Although Sengoku didn’t know how specific the combat power of these people was, since these people did not participate in the battle, they must have a gap in strength with Wexford and others.

“You mean to capture those people?”

Sengoku looked at Buggy and Shanks, who were happy on the ship, and said to Tsuru.

“Yes, this may be the only chance to save Borsalino out.”

Now there was little ice left, both Sengoku and Tsuru, they were Devil Fruit users, and after the ice broke, they basically could not fight on the surface of the sea.

If the opponent chose to return to the ship and then bypass the Water 7, then the marine had no way to continue to stop.

“Then let’s give it a try.”

At the end of this battle, Sengoku knew that this was the last chance. It was a major blow to the marine because of the asymmetry of information and heavy losses in this war; the two great Admiral Kuzan and Borsalino were wounded and captured.

In any case, Sengoku couldn’t let the opponent capture Borsalino away.
