Chapter 498: Retreat
Although this battle can be said to be victorious for Locke, it doesn't mean that they can go back to rest directly!
After all, the battle on Whitebeard's side is not over now, and from a distance, the space where they are now is still constantly cracked, and some flames or thunder appear in the air from time to time.
Of course, Kaido and Charlotte Lingling at this time also noticed the changes here, and they also knew that their subordinates were basically wiped out, after all, they also saw the light emitted by the formation just now.
And just after the formation activated the light appeared, they themselves felt an aura of extreme disgust from them, under this influence, they all looked towards this side subconsciously, and also saw the situation here, because of this, they were both scattered by Whitebeard once, which made the energy in their bodies consume some.
When they saw such a powerful formation, and at the same time it was a formation aimed at their Scarlet Legion, the first thing they thought of was what would happen to them in that formation.
However, considering the energy in their own bodies, if it weren't for blocking the attacks of people of the same level as them, they should be able to stay in this formation for a day before they would be completely purified, after all, quantitative changes cause qualitative changes, and although the blood-colored energy they are using now looks the same as those of their subordinates, it is much better in terms of quality and quantity.
Of course, in front of them now, it was Whitebeard who was fighting with them, and they didn't have the courage to try the power of the formation at this time, or how long they could stay in the formation, after all, they were just a little distracted just now, and they were directly dispersed by Whitebeard, which made them know that if they made a move now, they might be able to save some of their subordinates, but they couldn't help.
After all, if it was just them fighting against Whitebeard alone, maybe they would be beaten into the formation by the other party, and then use the formation to add his fruit to directly wipe them out from this world.
So for this consideration, the two of them can only concentrate all their energy to deal with the whitebeard in front of them, and they don't have time to care about anything else now, or they won't put their lives on the line for others.
Even Kaido's body, which is said to be impossible to die, can only be beaten around as a sandbag when facing Whitebeard at his peak, and if he hadn't obtained the powerful recovery power of blood-colored energy later, he would not have been able to resist Whitebeard for so long.
At this time, of course, Whitebeard also discovered the situation here, and also knew that Locke's plan should have succeeded, and then he only needed to leave one or both of the two Four Emperors in front of him, so that this battle could be perfectly closed.
But at this time, Whitebeard still has reservations, after all, if he is full of firepower, almost everything will happen to the life in this sea area, not to mention dying under his own outburst, at least he will still be seriously injured, which is also Whitebeard's confidence in himself.
Whitebeard here has some reservations, and Kaido and Charlotte Lingling on the other side are not going all out, after all, the ultimate move itself is not suitable for long-term combat, and if you use a high-cost move (later called the ultimate) without full grasp, of course, the physical energy or blood energy consumed will be more.
Before you are sure of defeating the other party, if you use this move, you will lose your physical strength in the back, and you will be killed directly by the opponent who seizes the opportunity, which is why they kept the ultimate move at the beginning.
And at this time, when they saw that their subordinates had been solved, and only the two of them were still struggling to support here, they had no intention of fighting a protracted battle with each other, after all, even if they could fight hard and consume Whitebeard in the end, but at that time they almost had no strength to stand there.
Let's not talk about whether Whitebeard's subordinates will give the two of them a chance to kill Whitebeard, let's just say that they really consume Whitebeard, and those Whitebeard's subordinates will also rush over and directly wipe them out who have no physical strength and energy at all.
So for this reason, after discovering that their subordinates were all killed, the two of them already had plans to retreat, but because of the obstruction of Whitebeard in front, they have been looking for an opportunity.
At this time, Whitebeard's attention was slightly focused on his sons, he still wanted to know if his sons had suffered losses in the battle just now, and he also wanted to see if they had evacuated this sea area according to the previous plan, if they left, then he would shoot without reservation.
It was also when he checked the situation over there and his attention was slightly distracted, that Kaido and Charlotte Lingling seized this opportunity and used their strongest attacks together to attack Beardless.
This attack can be said to be unreserved, after all, at this time, they only need to fight off Whitebeard, or seriously injure Whitebeard, and they will have a chance to leave here.
It's just that their own combined strength is inferior to Whitebeard's, after all, not all of them can fight together to achieve the combat power of one plus one equals two, although the combat effectiveness of the two of them together has indeed improved, but it is not much stronger than a single battle, at most it is only about one and a half.
However, Whitebeard is completely the strength of the other two people, and he can only tie with Whitebeard, so under the pressure of Whitebeard, the two of them can't find a chance to break through directly.
But the opportunity, as long as you look for it carefully, or wait a little longer, it will always come, just see if you can grasp it.
So after a while, the battle over there was completely over, and when the people of the Whitebeard Pirates slowly evacuated this sea area under the command of Marko, Whitebeard's eyes couldn't help but think about this side for a while, wanting to see how his sons were evacuated, after all, if he completely broke out his strength and fought with the two people in front of him, this sea area would not be safe at all.
So they discussed it before the battle, and when the battle ended smoothly, Marco and the others quickly evacuated here, and then made room for Whitebeard and them to fight.
And it was when Whitebeard was thinking about this side, and it was also when Whitebeard's attention was a little distracted, Kaido and Charlotte Lingling seized this opportunity, quickly gathered the strength of their whole body, and attacked Whitebeard's location.
When Whitebeard's eyes turned to look at them, they had already come to Whitebeard's side, and then hit Whitebeard's body with their fists full of armed color.
"Bang!"
