I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

Chapter 698 Falling Stars

On Egghead Island, the battle between pirates and the navy is still going on, but both Kaido and BIG MOM have the idea of ​​retreating at this time.

Although the two sides were still fighting back and forth on the front battlefield, and even because the Whitebeard Pirates, who had originally chosen to watch, suddenly joined in inexplicably, the pirates actually had the upper hand.

But the problem before them was that even if they rushed into Egghead Island, they would be stopped by the invisible barrier above the clouds.

If the navy hadn't been interfering, Kaido and BIG MOM would probably have been able to break through with their strength, but now the two of them were entangled by the admirals of the navy, and the few more capable ones under their command were also held back by old men like Garp.

As for the Whitebeard Pirates, although they also participated in the battle, they had no intention of going deeper. They just fought with the navy in the edge area and then retreated. After realizing this, the navy did not provoke them again, so it was unrealistic to ask them to help delay the navy's high-level combat power.

It is also because of this that Kaido and Big Mom see no hope of conquering Egghead Island and capturing Vegapunk.

Of course, giving up is impossible.

If before they were just envious of the artificial devil fruit and human gigantism technology in Vegapunk's hands, then after seeing the various technological products displayed on Eggman Island that were enough to change the course of the war, Kaido, BIG MOM, and other forces who came to fish in troubled waters, became even more determined to snatch Vegapunk.

However, just as Kaido and Big Mom were about to order a retreat, the lights, holographic images, etc. of the buildings on Eggman Island suddenly dimmed.

At the same time, a dodged flying slash pierced through the island cloud above and struck directly onto a building on the research floor.

Although there was nothing wrong with the building except that some paint had fallen off, it made all the pirates' eyes light up and all the navy's hearts tighten.

“喔啰啰啰啰——！那个该死的屏障消失了！小的们！给我冲！！！”

Kaido forced back Kizaru who was entangled with him with a stick, and transformed into a huge blue dragon, soaring into the sky, roaring loudly to convey the news to the pirates on the island. Then he opened his mouth, ignored Akainu's giant magma fist that was thrown at him in frustration, and exhaled a breath of hot air towards the research layer above.

On the other side, Charlotte Lingling also raised Napoleon in her hand in tacit understanding, and Prometheus and Zeus also gathered at the hilt and tip of Napoleon's sword respectively...

"Light cannon!"

"Damn it!"

Akainu had to stop attacking Kaido and turned around to intercept the hot breath. Kizaru, who had been forced to retreat before, quickly stood in front of Charlotte Linlin's light cannon. Green Bull, who was assisting in the back, also quickly created a high wall of trees, blocking the attacks of Kaido and BIG MOM.

With the joint efforts of the three admirals, the attacks of the two sea emperors were intercepted, but their reaction made the other pirates ecstatic.

"Hahahahaha! The barrier is gone after all!"

"Everyone keep attacking! Force Vegapunk out!"

The morale of the pirates, which had begun to decline, instantly rose, and they also followed the example of Kaido and BIG MOM, abandoning their opponents and launching various long-range attacks at the research floor above.

Even though most of the navy and CP agents knew that doing so would be a temporary solution, they still made the same choice as the three admirals. They did not take the opportunity to attack the pirates who had exposed their flaws. Instead, they turned around one by one to protect the safety of the research layer, and some even risked their lives to block them with their own bodies.

As a result, the World Government, which was already at a disadvantage, became even more flustered.

On the other side, the Whitebeard Pirates also started to move again. Although there were not many people and Whitebeard himself did not take action, it seemed that they also wanted to fight for Vegapunk. "Huh! When did that old guy become so insidious?"

Kaido snorted coldly, thinking that Whitebeard was conserving his strength by not taking action before, and was only jumping out now that he saw hope, intending to reap the benefits.

The reason why he didn't guard against this before was because that was not like Whitebeard's character. Usually, when the other party wanted something, he would just do it without saying anything.

But what Kaido never expected was that Whitebeard had maintained his personality for decades, and it would actually change as he got older.

In fact, Kaido's understanding of Whitebeard was not wrong, but he did not expect that there was an ambitious man named Marshall D. Teach hidden in the Whitebeard Pirates. Along the way, he had been instigating those "companions" who were worried about Whitebeard's health, wanting the Whitebeard Pirates to join the ranks of fighting for Vegapunk.

It's just that they had been suppressed by Whitebeard before, and the defense of Egghead Island seemed impeccable, so there was no movement. But with the disappearance of the barrier, impulsive young people like Ace could no longer sit still. Even if Whitebeard would blame them later, they still rushed out with Teach.

In addition to the Whitebeard Pirates, the Revolutionary Army, which had been slacking off, also began to make efforts...

Dragon had invited Vegapunk at the beginning, but unfortunately he was rejected because he was too poor. Now the Revolutionary Army has infiltrated many countries. Although its funds are not as good as the World Government, it is not as tight as before.

The most important thing is, who wouldn't be jealous of the technologies developed by Vegapunk? The top leaders of the Revolutionary Army all agreed that Vegapunk could no longer serve the World Government.

With the joining of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army, the resistance of the World Government has become increasingly difficult.

To make matters worse, as the situation began to deteriorate, some high-level combat-capable members of the Knights of God began to back down.

It's no problem for these pampered Celestial Dragons to fight when the wind is in their favor, but when they encounter an unfavorable situation, most of them will not perform much better than Saint Best who escaped.

After all, in their minds, their lives are extremely precious, and a mere Vegapunk is not worth their life.

Seeing that the navy's defense line was about to fall and the Celestial Dragons of the Knights of God were even planning to leave with the CP agents who were protecting them, all the strong men on Egghead Island suddenly felt a strange breath.

Soon after, two huge magic circles accompanied by flames and black lightning suddenly appeared on the open space. The outermost circle of the magic circle was a bunch of strange and incomprehensible runes, and inside was a huge five-pointed star. In the gaps between the five corners, there was a number "5".

"boom--!"

There was a loud bang in the sky above the magic circle, and two black and ominous auras burst out from it, rushing straight into the sky.

The black aura surged, and two figures slowly emerged from the center of the two magic circles.

At the same time, a slower broadcast came from the warships on the shore -

"Attention all marines! The Five Elders, Saint Satan and Saint Maz, have arrived at Egghead Island. Officers below the rank of brigadier general are not allowed to see them!"
