Chapter 848: The Suppressed Pirates
The battlefield was very chaotic.
On the surface, the Flying Pirates had more members among their cadres.
However, upon closer inspection, the Flying Pirates suffered far heavier losses than the World Government.
For this battle, the World Government had already made detailed plans.
They had considered various issues, even the possibility of other Top-tier Great Pirates joining the great battle.
In that scenario, the World Government would naturally have to evacuate.
But now, the pirate side's combat power was completely within their acceptable range.
Zephyr, whose body's bones had been largely crushed by Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle, suffering no small injury, seemed unaffected.
Facing Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle, he continuously swung his fists coated with Haki, relying on his powerful body technique to engage in a constant head-on clash with Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle.
"Golden Lion" Shiki and Saint Nusjuro were also old rivals.
With the bizarre Devil Fruit ability of the Nure-Onna Fruit and powerful swordsmanship, the combat power Saint Nusjuro displayed was no less than his.
It was very difficult for them to determine a winner.
At the very least, it would take a great battle of several days and nights.
Reinhardt couldn't deal with Saint Saturn; his opponent had transformed back into "King of Monsters" Typhon.
Garp fought Byrnndi World in a great battle.
"King of the Beasts" Kaido faced off against Saint Peter.
Other Top Tier Combatants also had their respective opponents.
The situation became increasingly clear.
The pirate side seemingly appeared evenly matched.
However, this situation was based on the World Government's Top Tier Combatants fighting them one-on-one.
Katakuri, Garrosg, and Ulquiorra had already joined the battlefield.
Meanwhile, other Top Tier Combatants focused their attention on the cadres of the Flying Pirates.
The three Army Generals.
Isaac, "Bamboo Python", and "Silver Snake".
The three of them did not participate in the great battle, but they held a complete advantage against the cadres of the Flying Pirates.
Each of them faced the offense of several Great Pirates, yet the advantage remained with them.
Especially the strongest Isaac, who moved as if entering an uninhabited land, unstoppable by anyone.
With powerful Fleet Captains like "Tyrant" Grado and "Godspeed" Char absent, no one was his opponent.
Even among Top Tier Combatants, this Army General, who arrived out of nowhere and performed excellently in bloody battle, was a strongman.
He completely possessed the strength to become a Marine Admiral.
His strength could be said to have surpassed previous Army Generals.
Due to the absolute strength gap, those Great Pirates who were merely Elite Vice Admiral, Quasi-Admiral, or had just touched the threshold of Top Tier Combatant could only struggle to hold on.
Ordinary cadres and Fleet Captains were no match for Isaac in a single exchange.
Only a few individuals could drag out the time.
The pirate side seemingly had a numerical advantage in high-end combat power, possessing nearly a hundred strongmen.
On the World Government side, the combined Marine and Army Vice Admirals numbered nearly twenty, with relatively ordinary strength.
CP0 Agents were few in number, but each was an elite, possessing combat power no less than an Elite Vice Admiral.
The most powerful were the God's Guard Candidates.
Although young, each was an elite.
Furthermore, as Descendants of God, they each inherited powerful combat talent, especially under the World Government's elite training and tempered by slaughter, they displayed even greater combat power.
Each performed exceptionally well, capable of fighting two, or even more, opponents at once.
Having experienced so much over the past few years, these elites of the Celestial Dragons no longer held the arrogant attitude of the past.
For the World Government, as long as they had the desire to become stronger, they could use every means possible to help them.
Many God's Guard Candidates displayed powerful Devil Fruit abilities.
In addition, beside these God's Guard Candidates, there were one or two powerful combatants cultivated by the Dao Protector Family sent by their respective Celestial Dragon Family.
Adding up all the high-end combat power, there were roughly fifty to sixty individuals.
This was a very luxurious lineup.
Although due to Byrnndi World's mysterious weapon, they were caught off guard and suffered an attack from the pirates without the ability to fight back.
Nearly ten people directly lost their lives, and over a dozen strongmen were severely wounded.
In terms of regular Vice Admiral level combatants, they were far inferior to the Flying Pirates.
However, in terms of true elite combatants and Quasi-Admiral combat power, they were superior to the Flying Pirates.
Within these four hours, the high-end combat power of the World Government who were severely wounded initially were the first to die in battle.
Because in the early stages of the war, the Flying Pirates had a numerical advantage, and everyone was in peak condition.
But as the war progressed, up to this point, the Flying Pirates had already lost approximately forty people, two-fifths of their high-end combat power died in battle.
These high-end combat power were all part of "Golden Lion" Shiki's Direct Unit.
This does not include the numerous cadres under "Tyrant" Grado; other fleets were similar.
Half of the Flying Pirates' high-end combat power were actually gathered in the branch fleets.
If they had all been sent, there wouldn't have been so few people.
The strength the World Government would have to face would also be even more terrifying.
For example, the numerous cadres under Grado were completely capable, but it also depended on whether he was willing.
Such losses could be said to be very heavy.
For a monster like Isaac, no matter how many strongmen teamed up against him, it was useless.
Because he was a monster among monsters.
He roamed the Great Sea relying on his powerful body technique and physique, coupled with the support of his special battle suit, reaching his current position.
Individuals like "Bamboo Python" and "Silver Snake" were both very excited.
For so many years, it had been a long time since they had such a satisfying battle.
Every time they faced opponents who were exceptionally powerful and troublesome.
Unlike now, it was clearly much easier.
Currently, their strongest opponent was only "Mist" Sasmu, a core cadre of the Flying Pirates with outstanding achievements.
He possessed powerful strength approaching Top Tier Combatant.
He had the strength to fight against either "Bamboo Python" or "Silver Snake".
The current situation was very unfavorable for the Flying Pirates.
Sasmu was also aware of this.
Thick mist spread, making the battlefield chaotic.
It could also buy some time.
If he couldn't deal with the true strongmen, he could only change tactics and focus on the World Government's weaker high-end combat power.
His goal was to kill as many of the World Government's strongmen as possible, especially the Celestial Dragons.
Some pirates familiar with the mist environment began to counterattack together.
This was an advantage for them.
Of course, most members, like the World Government, would be affected.
Within the mist, the elemental form Sasmu was an invisible assassin, making it difficult to guard against him.
The mist also had hallucinatory and debilitating effects, causing people to faint.
For truly prepared strongmen, it was certainly useless; they could isolate the mist by using Haki emission.
However, not everyone could do that.
The losses of the Flying Pirates were inevitable.
Even within the mist, the battle remained very intense.
All he could do was kill as many enemies as possible.
Weakening the enemy was cutting losses, that's how Sasmu thought.
In front of Sasmu, who had transformed into an "Assassin", even the stronger Isaac had no effective means against him.
All he could do was kill as many of the Flying Pirates' cadres as possible.
Anyway, the God's Guard Candidates were protected by other strongmen and were difficult to kill.
As for the Marine and Army high-end combat power, Isaac didn't really care about them, even though he was currently an Army General.
The great battle would continue afterwards, and the spreading mist also obscured the vision of many Top Tier Combatants.
Unaware of the situation, they would not easily issue commands.
