Chapter 949: Kizaru and Azure Dragon's Counterattack!
In the vast universe outside the World, the fierce battle between the two sides continued.
At the same time, as the Odette Space Pirate Fleet began deploying a large number of carrier-based aircraft.
They quickly bypassed the central high-density bombardment zone and launched an attack towards the Air Force Fleet and the Moon Base, causing the war's intensity to skyrocket.
Countless small carrier-based aircraft, printed with orange-green skull patterns but dyed black overall, were like swarms of bees.
While firing green lasers at the Air Force warships and the Moon surface, they weaved through the air with extreme agility at high speed.
The World Government side naturally didn't show weakness either.
Various types of cannons on both sides of the flying battleships, combined with the thousands of large-caliber anti-aircraft guns already set up on the Moon, frantically spewed out fierce muzzle flashes.
[Bang bang bang bang bang]
Because the World's satellites were all within the same atmosphere.
So the fighting here produced familiar sounds of explosions and whistling.
The entire area above the Moon had completely turned into a cruel Asura Field.
Dangerous beams of light crisscrossed everywhere.
Among them were lasers and tracer fire, and many lives died under them constantly.
One by one, Sky-Rending Unit officers from the Air Force Fleet, some born with wings on their backs, others having transformed into various large birds or insects, flew out. They clashed fiercely with the carrier-based aircraft controlled by the Space Pirates between the warships.
Originally, someone at the Air Force Headquarters proposed bringing fighter aircraft, but the Academy of Science stated that their fighter aircraft were no match for the Space Pirates, not even having the qualifications to be cannon fodder.
This wasn't surprising, as most of the airplanes had a technology level stuck at the World War II era.
In comparison, these officers who could fly at high speed were more useful; they just had to be careful to dodge the lasers shot at them by the enemy.
Although these Space Pirates' laser weapons didn't explode like Admiral Kizaru's lasers.
But hitting a person was just as terrifying.
However, if one possessed Observation Haki or Armament Haki, dealing with them wasn't too difficult.
This fully demonstrated how correct Imu's decision was when he originally gave the order to publicly popularize all Haki cultivation techniques within the Military.
These techniques included methods originating from Wano Island and Amazon Lily, causing more and more people in the Military to master Armament Haki or awaken Observation Haki over the past five years.
To this day, it has been confirmed that all personnel of Colonel rank and above have mastered Armament Haki, while Observation Haki depends on individual talent.
Not only that, but there are also many individuals among the Captains who have initially mastered Armament Haki.
It's just that their ability in other areas is still insufficient, so they are temporarily unable to be promoted to Colonel rank.
As for the members of the Sky-Rending Unit currently participating in combat, the lowest military rank is Major.
And most of them are elites specially selected.
That is, officers who have awakened Observation Haki.
The remaining ones are basically Animal-type Ability Users.
Although they don't have Observation Haki, they all possess the keen perception of animals towards danger.
Coupled with 'Paper Arts' from the Six Powers, they can also cope with laser attacks.
As for the Space Pirates' carrier-based aircraft, they naturally also have highly advanced technology weapon fire control systems, assisting them in automatically aiming and shooting.
Superpower perception clashing with high-technology systems made the fighting between the two sides very fierce.
However, the stalemate was only among the middle and lower ranks.
The upper limit of the Space Pirates' carrier-based aircraft was only this much.
When a group of Vice Admirals and Admirals successively took action, the situation began to change drastically.
"Slash!"
"Slash!"
"Slash!"
The Air Force Vice Admirals on the warships and the Army Vice Admirals on the Moon successively drew their blades and powerfully swung them towards the direction where the carrier-based aircraft were concentrated.
Instantly, giant Flying Slash Attacks appeared across the sky.
Wherever the bright blade light passed, all affected carrier-based aircraft instantly shattered.
This was the strength of a Great Swordsman; one person could clear out an area.
At the same time.
Officers possessing various Devil Fruit abilities also began to unleash a wide array of bizarre methods, causing the Space Pirates controlling the carrier-based aircraft to die in bizarre ways amidst their astonishment.
Among them, the most eye-catching performer.
Was Kaido's adjutant, 'King' Arbel!
"Fire Dragon Emperor!!"
The raging sea of fire unleashed by Arbel's great saber formed a ferocious Fire Dragon, its entire body seemingly composed of magma, frantically chasing and devouring large numbers of carrier-based aircraft and other ships belonging to the Space Pirates.
And the more than twenty 'Conquerors' were also displaying great divine might.
They continuously released light beams from their mouths and palms that caused great explosions, clearly becoming the Air Force's strongest mobile turrets.
However, the Space Pirates' side was not without the power to resist.
One of the missions of their carrier-based aircraft was to escort the ships that were few in quantity but larger in size.
And the mission of these ships was to head towards other satellites, including the Moon.
These metal pods, as they entered the atmosphere, quickly generated fiercely burning blazing flames on their surface.
But they immediately crashed heavily onto the surface of the Moon and other satellites, kicking up waves of huge sounds and rolling smoke and dust.
"Roar!!!"
"Hiss hiss hiss---"
The next moment, the army soldiers stationed on the ground saw a large number of monsters of various forms.
But all appearing very dangerous and terrifying, pouring out from within the spherical metal pods.
These were the monsters the Space Pirates had collected from various planets.
And also the Space Pirates' most commonly used method of attack against the indigenous civilizations on the ground.
Because this method was very convenient and effective.
However.
The seven Pirate warships that previously attacked the homeland had already exposed their combat method.
The World Government side had also dispatched a large number of army units for this very reason!
"Fire!!!"
Army officers of various ranks on the surface of each satellite shouted.
Although their melee combat was much stronger than using firearms.
But they didn't mind using weapons like bullets and cannonballs first to kill some of the monsters on the way.
In an instant, gunfire and cannon fire roared across the surface of most of the World's satellites.
Countless alien monsters turned into puddles of shredded flesh of various colors during their charge.
In the end, only the tough-skinned monsters, or those who avoided the onslaught using some ability, or blocked the continuous bombardment, remained, continuing to charge fiercely towards the army frontline.
"Leave it to us!"
At this moment, Figures wearing white robes and black gloves on their hands walked up to the army soldiers and half-squatted down.
"Alchemy Array, activate!!!"
The moment they slammed their palms onto the moon ground in unison, electricity crackled between everyone's palms, and at the same time, glowing markings appeared beneath the feet of the alien monsters.
This was an Alchemy Array!
[Swish!]
As the dazzling white light fiercely bloomed, countless sharp metal spikes emerged from the ground.
When they 'swished' back underground again, only mixed biological fluid and flesh and blood remains were left on the ground.
On the other side.
Borsalino, who had manifested as a giant four-cornered flash and was still releasing countless flash barrages wave after wave.
Suddenly heard a muffled voice behind him.
"Admiral Kizaru, Marshal Zephyr's orders are for me to take over the defense here, and you can launch your counterattack!"
Borsalino was surprised in his heart, but still stopped 'Yasakani no Magatama', recovering back to his human form amidst the convergence of light spots.
"You are... a Giant God Soldier?"
Borsalino turned around and looked at the 'Golden Giant' who had just appeared from a green space before him.
"Yes, I am a 'Guardian Giant' under Lord Imu."
Kashi answered while moving in front of Borsalino, directly facing the barrage of green lasers rapidly attacking from afar.
"Protective Barrier, open!"
The next moment, under the illumination of various radiance on the battlefield, a transparent Barrier rapidly expanding upwards, downwards, left, and right appeared before Kashi, blocking all the thick, eerie green lasers without producing the slightest fluctuation.
"Oh, that's quite impressive!" Borsalino whistled and laughed.
"Admiral Kizaru, you can pass directly through my Barrier using the 'Door-Door Space'."
Kashi said in a deep voice.
At the same time.
Kaido's side also encountered a similar situation.
It was just that the one who took over his defense zone was 'Gate Giant' Oimo, who was also one of the 'Giant God Soldiers'.
He directly opened the 'Void Gate' to its maximum extent in the universe, taking in most of the incoming green lasers into the 'Door-Door Space', which was also entirely green.
"Go quickly, Admiral Azure Dragon, please deal with the Space Pirates as soon as possible!"
Oimo shouted loudly to Kaido.
"Worororo, no problem, I'll make them regret provoking our World!!!"
The majestic Azure Dragon soared into the sky amidst roaring laughter, swinging its thick, long dragon tail, and pounced towards the Space Pirates' Fleet with bared fangs and claws.
In the distance.
Borsalino, who had passed through the Barrier, had already transformed into a golden light beam and shot out.
The real counterattack had begun!
