Chapter 21: The Footsteps of the Grim Reaper

Inside and outside the G8 fortress, both the navy and the pirates were intimidated by Crockdahl. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

His eyes swept around, like an emperor coming and inspecting his subjects. And at first glance, Krokdahl noticed Luffy and the others. It's really Luffy and the others are too conspicuous, even if they are hidden in the many navies, they are like fireflies in the middle of the night, shining with dazzling brilliance.

Not only Luffy and the others were surprised, but Crockdahl actually sighed in his heart, sighing at the wonder of fate. His fate with the Straw Hats is really not shallow, and as the protagonist of this world, he is bound to have a lot of intersections with Luffy in the future, right?

When his gaze fell on Robin, Crockdahl's heart couldn't help but pause for a moment.

What should we do with this "betrayer"? This is definitely a difficult problem that will test Crockdahl. Whether it is the relationship when he used to read the comics, or the contact after the time-travel, especially after Robin left, the news he found out from von Clay made him inevitably feel strange emotions in his heart when facing Robin.

However, these things can be delayed, and now the priority is the war with the navy.

Behind Crockdahl, the agents of Baroque Walker, led by Daz Bonis, each led a team of pirates to rush towards the battlefield without waiting for Krokdahl's order.

On Crockdahl's ship, Daz Bonis, who is the one with the ability to slash fruits, is the most suitable to be the stormtrooper leader, and he will definitely be the best arrow.

The so-called million walkers, 100,000 walkers, are the most basic miscellaneous configurations of Baroque Walker. These pirates under Crockdahl were selected from the so-called walkers, although they were all miscellaneous soldiers, but when it came to individual combat effectiveness, the walkers who once existed as bounty hunters were more than elite than the naval soldiers who were also miscellaneous soldiers.

What's more, now they are like a rainbow, just like the tigers in the mountains, and they are looking at each other.

Although the number of people is much smaller than that of the navy, under the leadership of the senior cadres of Baroque Walker, they are like wolves into a flock, rushing and killing among the navy soldiers at will.

The sudden arrival of the new force made Luffy and the others breathe a sigh of relief, and they were able to withdraw their hands and think of ways to escape when the pressure dropped sharply. Luffy, on the other hand, went to find Crockdahl as soon as he had spare time. But at this time, Krokdal didn't care about Luffy, because just now, the moment he was relaxed, a dark shadow jumped from where his perspective was difficult.

It's Ties!

From the moment Crockdahl appeared, although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that the ambush had basically failed, and what he had to face next was a hard-fought battle. But the advantage was still there, and when the naval support outside the fortress came, it was when Crockdahl failed.

However, in the case of occupying the lead, he is still reduced to the need to fight like this, which is definitely the greatest irony for him.

Naturally, his target was Crockdahl.

Tice's attack was perfect, like a real feline, swift and silent when it swooped down. His nimble body was always able to find the gaps in the crowd, and the soldiers on both sides of the battle not only did not hinder his movements, but became the best cover for his sneak attack.

However, Tis is only a cat after all, not a real cheetah or a tiger, although the attack is stealthy enough, the body is flexible enough, and the action is fast enough, but it lacks the determination of the cheetah's kill, the courage of the hungry tiger to pounce, and the domineering spirit of the lion.

He's just a cat after all, and although he can scratch people with his claws, he can't help but be a guy who says "Selling cute".

Therefore, even if Crockdahl didn't notice Tish's sneak attack, but the combat intuition brought by the experience of a hundred battles still made him subconsciously deviate from his body when he was at the last moment, and Tice's cat's claw only collided with the hook on his left hand in the end, and the biggest damage was only the wind brought by the cat's claw, which tore the clothes on Crockdahl's chest.

"It's so fast! It's too late to elementalize ......" Although it was because of his own carelessness, Krokdahl couldn't help but be amazed, if this attack was not on the battlefield, which made him more vigilant, but when he was eating or sleeping, he would inevitably be injured. Sure enough, whether the ability is strong or not comes second, and if it is used properly, no matter how weak the ability is, it will produce powerful results!

"But, the strength of the attack...... Crockdahl swung Ties's body away with a hard arm, and his right fist followed, turning into quicksand and gushing out. It's like a fist of fire, but it's yellow sand that shoots out.

"Hmph! damn it......" Tice bent over and shrank into the crowd. With the flexibility of the cat fruit, he dodged Krokedahl's counterattack, but there were still scratches on the bright black fur, and it hurt hotly.

I have to say that Ties's comprehensive strength is really not enough in front of Crockdahl, after all, he is just a major general after all. Even the Flying Squirrel, who was an elite lieutenant general, was defeated by Crockdahl, let alone him, but regardless of his overall strength, in terms of speed alone, Ties's running was beyond Crockdahl's reach.

At this time, he got into the crowd, and the navy uniform on his body was also thrown aside by Ties, although this was equivalent to running naked, but it also made him lose the last trace of restraint, and it was even more difficult to be detected hidden in the shadows.

Fighting is not a race, but if you have the advantage of speed, you have an innate advantage. If you want to fight or leave, the initiative is in the hands of fast people.

Nothing is broken, only fast is not broken, this is the truth.

Especially when two people with different fighting styles like Tice and Crockdahl face each other, the difference in speed becomes the decisive factor.

Krokdahl is not an agile type, but Tis is undoubtedly dreaming if he wants to use this advantage to fight. It's like no matter how fast Bolt runs, boxing with Tyson will inevitably end up being shot into the soul.

However, the situation on the battlefield does not require Tis to defeat Crockdahl, as long as he pulls Crockdahl's energy so that he can't spare his hand to support the battlefield. Without the decisive combat power of Crockdahl, the situation will inevitably fall into the control of the navy.

Even if Baroque Walker's spies have strong combat effectiveness, even Luffy and others are not inferior, but in the face of the huge number of naval soldiers, they can't escape defeat after all.

Moreover, outside the fortress, there are a large number of naval warships, but they cannot enter it for a while because of the terrain of the fortress. Once those navies also join in the support, the advantage of Krokdal breaking into the fortress will be completely gone, and even because of the G8 fortress, it will become a turtle in the urn, just waiting for someone to catch it.

It's not just Tis who knows this, Crockdahl knows it too.

So, he had to find a way!

Crockdahl couldn't help but feel a little anxious, if he couldn't escape in the shortest time, he would be in big trouble!

Perhaps, when the fortress was first designed, all the firepower was external, and the original designers probably did not expect that there would be pirates rushing to the inside of the fortress, so the internal defense can be described as quite thin. And those cannons used for internal vigilance are also afraid to use rat traps. This is the only good news that Crockdahl has in mind right now.

Outside of the fortress, although the situation inside the fortress is unknown, both the owl and Moro have chosen to block the entrance of the fortress at the same time, and no matter what happens inside the fortress, there is nothing wrong with doing so. Unless the Tempest can fly, there is absolutely no escape. And the space inside the fortress is limited after all, and it is not suitable for all of them to go in and fight.

Now it is only the troops directly under Lieutenant General Jonathan who are supporting it. Moreover, the naval fleet was difficult to deploy inside the fortress, and these reinforcements left the warships one after another and went from both sides of the fortress to support the battlefield.

From rally to support, although fast, it is not an overnight thing. So this also gives Crockdahl some buffer time, but it won't be too long after all, and after a few minutes at most, this group of naval elites will join the battle.

The man who led the navy was none other than Jonathan's lieutenant Drake, and Vice Admiral Jonathan, as if he didn't have much interest in the battle, stood on the bow of the ship with a long knife at his waist, looking at the situation inside the fortress from afar.

Although he did not join the battle, the pressure brought by the lieutenant general was like substance. As long as he's still here, Krokdahl has to be distracted by this. Even, even if the navy in the fortress was defeated, thinking that there was still a vice admiral guarding the gate, even Crockdahl couldn't help but feel a sense of discouragement.

There wasn't much time left for him, and every second that passed seemed like the footsteps of death were one step closer. The pressure that he hadn't felt for a long time weighed heavily on Crockdahl's heart, and the next decision he had to make would determine his fate. One step to live, one step to die, there is no other option.

Sweat poured from Crockdahl's forehead, and the brief shaking of his mind also gave Tis a chance to attack. Although Crockdahl still dodged at the last moment, his sleeve was torn open.

"Damn it......" Crockdahl gritted his teeth and growled, looking around, trying to find Tess's trace. But all he could see was cascading waves of people......

Wait, what's that?

Suddenly, Crockdahl's mouth opened in surprise as he looked at the thick black clouds piled up on top of the Merry, and from time to time an arc of lightning flashed in the dark clouds, and some even fell into the naval formation, knocking a group of naval soldiers to the ground. Looking at the power of lightning, and the dark clouds covering the top, Crockdahl's surprised expression turned to ecstasy.
