Chapter 832: Creating Chaos and a Sea of Fire
Sengoku had already felt how troublesome "Pig Head Emperor" Krut was.
With an undying body, no matter what injury he suffered, he could recover quickly.
Even if his head fell off, he could recover, so what kind of offense could injure him?
Perhaps there was some fatal weakness, but Sengoku hadn't discovered it.
Moreover, Krut himself possessed a powerful physique and defense, which made Sengoku feel somewhat helpless.
Knowing he couldn't deal with Krut, Sengoku gave up on the main offense and shifted his energy to defense and dodging.
He tried his best to reduce the consumption of his stamina.
At the same time, he shifted his attention to the other battles at the Port.
If needed, he could disengage at any time, but it couldn't take too long.
On the other side, the battle between King and Kong was extremely intense.
It seemed they were equally matched, which also showed how severe Kong's strength had declined.
King didn't have the idea of killing Kong; that would be very difficult to achieve.
And he didn't want to put himself in a crisis either.
He wanted to cause some trouble for the Marines.
The talent of the Lunarian Tribe gave him a powerful physique and defense.
Furthermore, he was a Mythical Zoan: Karasu-Tengu Fruit Ability User.
Pitch-black feathers wreathed in black flames filled the entire Sky like arrows.
When high-end combat power faced strong enemies, the lethality brought by this kind of large-scale move was extremely terrifying.
A large number of Soldiers were still gathered at the Port, dealing with the Pig Head Human Army, charging forward to engage in fierce fighting.
With Marine Headquarters under invasion, it was impossible for them to hide in the back.
Personnel evacuation, transporting the injured, logistics personnel, doctors arriving.
Even various military supplies, and some snipers were ready in the distance.
The black feathers pouring down like heavy rain, each one possessed terrifying lethality capable of taking their life.
The number of Marine Soldiers who could resist was not large.
"It's on fire!"
"Quickly put out the fire!"
Compared to killing people, causing chaos in Marine Headquarters was King's ultimate goal.
Therefore, most of King's black feathers burning with flames landed on the buildings of Marine Headquarters, especially the grand Headquarters Building.
Scorching flames continuously burned and rapidly spread.
Wind fanned the flames, and gusts of gale helped the flames burn even more fiercely.
Goenitz, noticing this situation, only needed to make a slight move to cause immense trouble for Marine Headquarters.
At the same time, visible black wind cooperated with Goenitz.
Seeing Goenitz's actions, King knew what to do.
"Don't get entangled with them, it's meaningless.
You have your own goal, right?
King, break into the interior."
Goenitz continuously fanned the flames.
Originally, only the Port was in chaos, but under the influence of the flames, the entire Marine Headquarters became somewhat chaotic.
He glanced at Chief of Staff Tsuru and Shirek, who were being led by the nose by him.
He directly disengaged from combat and said to King, who was also located in the Sky.
King was about to continue fighting Kong, but hearing Goenitz's words, he couldn't help but stop his actions.
The goal of causing chaos in Marine Headquarters had been achieved.
Next, he just needed to keep doing this and be an arsonist.
He also had the mission of finding Devil Fruits.
He also knew the approximate location of the Treasury.
"Evil brat."
Hearing Goenitz's words, Kong's face below changed, and he said gloomily, his eyes filled with wrath as he looked at Goenitz.
He could tell Goenitz's malicious intentions.
How many Pirates were there?
But this was Marineford.
It had a population of hundreds of thousands.
There were too many things the Marines needed to care about.
The Rear Area even had a large number of ordinary Residents.
Once damage occurred, it would cause an extremely heavy impact on the overall morale of the Marines.
Although the Rear Area was being evacuated, the attack was too sudden, and there wasn't much time to prepare at all.
It might take considerable effort.
He had originally thought they could confine these Pirates to the Port, but he didn't expect Goenitz to actually propose such a malicious idea.
In this regard, the Marines were at too much of a disadvantage, with too many considerations.
The continuously burning flames required a large number of Marine Soldiers for rescue.
The Marine Headquarters Building even possessed quite a bit of precious data.
If accidentally burned down, that would be a considerable loss for the Marines.
A large number of Marines started getting busy, putting out fires, transporting important supplies and data.
They even temporarily moved grain in the Rear Area to avoid being burned down by the great fire.
"Understood!"
King nodded, no longer entangled with Kong.
The black wings behind him flapped, and he leapt over the Marine Soldiers below, directly charging towards the interior of Marine Headquarters.
As King unleashed a slash, everywhere he passed turned into a sea of fire!
Countless Marine Soldiers were wailing in pain.
The current Marine Headquarters Building had gathered too many Marines.
"Damn it!"
Kong roared in wrath, his figure charging towards King like a cannonball.
But King's speed was extremely fast, and he held air superiority.
Even if Kong was using Moonwalk, he couldn't get close to King.
King could use any means for his goal.
He liked intelligent fighting styles that paid the smallest price.
Similarly, Goenitz was the same.
Goenitz's figure even disappeared from the spot along with King, their whereabouts unknown.
Their actions completely disrupted the Marines' war plan.
Even though it was their Base Camp, they were extremely passive.
Seeing this, Pain also placed his target on the interior of Marine Headquarters and directly disengaged from combat.
Crow Monster looked at this scene in surprise.
Just abandoned them like this?
Realizing he was somewhat in danger, he flapped his wings and flew towards the Sky.
Only "Pig Head Emperor" Krut and Sengoku were left in the great battle, along with Krut's Pig Head Human Army.
At high altitude, Crow Monster Klay could instead see the situation more clearly.
The entire Marine Headquarters was already in complete chaos.
At the Port, several powerful combatants didn't have the mind to surround "Pig Head Emperor" Krut.
Goenitz, King, and Pain, who entered the interior, were their biggest threat.
No matter which one, they all possessed immense destructive power.
Without a doubt, their actions had already grasped the Marines' fatal weakness.
"Sengoku, you go preside over the big picture.
Leave this guy to me."
Kong knew he was difficult to deal with those three young Monsters.
It might as well be left to the stronger Sengoku.
It was enough for him to hold back "Pig Head Emperor" Krut.
Kong, who entered Human-Beast form, still possessed a trace of his former power.
The only drawback was the mechanical arm on his body, which affected his performance.
"Understood, Kong."
Sengoku nodded, his gaze falling upon the Headquarters Building engulfed in firelight.
The entire Sky seemed to be dyed red.
His face became extremely unsightly.
He knew that the next mission would be even more arduous.
"Houses can be rebuilt if destroyed.
Just take some relatively important data."
"Fully protect the Residents in the Rear Area."
Sengoku said with a solemn expression.
In his eyes, nothing was more important than the great Rear Area.
If the Rear Area was stable, people's hearts could be stabilized.
Tsuru had already issued relevant orders in advance.
However, due to the appearance of the fire, which led to the chaos in the Headquarters, it required him, as the backbone, to take charge.
