Pirates of the Peak

Chapter 1088 Advantage Exchange

With the addition of Kaido, Big Mom, Kidd and Law, Luffy and his team are temporarily in the upper hand. As for why this is temporary, it is still due to the thorny issue of the Five Elders having immortal bodies!

Looking at Luffy's side, the only ones who have the ability to kill the Five Elders or the Divine Knights in a short period of time are Luffy, Ace and Dragon. Even Zoro, Kuzan, Kaido and Big Mom cannot completely break their immortality in a short period of time!

Ace's enemy is Shamrock, Shanks' twin brother and leader of the Knights of God. His strength is not weaker than any of the Five Elders. Even the current Ace cannot defeat him in a short time.

Luffy couldn't do it either. Originally, he was fighting against three Divine Knights alone, but later Kidd took one of them away, which greatly reduced his pressure.

But the remaining two divine knights cooperated very well and did not give Luffy any chance to beat them to death!

Only Dorag can kill his opponent, because the Divine Knight he stopped is only at the middle level in the Knights of God, and he is alone. It is only because the opponent is extremely cruel and inhumane that Dorag chose him as his opponent!

Even a powerful Five Elder Star like Nasu Juro died at the hands of Dragon, so that short Divine Knight had no ability to resist at all!

Even though he displays strong self-confidence and a calm personality, strength and a confident and calm personality are not directly linked!

In other words, now the only one who is truly capable of killing the opponent is Dorag, while the others can only be regarded as being in a stalemate with the opponent.

But the thing the Divine Knights and the Five Elders fear least is a stalemate. They possess immortality and unlimited endurance. Who can outlast them? The longer the time drags on, the more disadvantageous the situation becomes for Luffy and his crew!

So they are only temporarily in the upper hand now. Once everyone is exhausted, the situation will be reversed!

Dorag was fighting while observing the overall situation, ready to adjust the battle strategy at any time, so he did not launch a fierce attack on the short divine knight!

Now that the battle situation has stabilized, he knows that he has become the key to breaking the deadlock. Now both sides are fighting for time. It depends on whether he can kill the opponent first and cooperate with others to kill all the enemies, or whether the enemies can hold on until they are exhausted and their combat power declines, and then he can complete the counterattack!

After seeing the situation clearly, Dorag stopped slacking off and directly used his strongest killing move. The powerful tornado made it impossible for the short divine knight to resist. He was trapped in the tornado and had no choice but to move. Even his previously calm state of mind was completely destroyed!

In the face of life and death, not many people can remain calm, even the self-proclaimed noble Celestial Dragon Knights are no exception!

Then the domineering aura that Dragon injected into the tornado turned into fangs and sharp teeth that tore him apart. With a desperate scream, there was no more cruel and bloodthirsty short divine knight in the world!

The life and death of the short divine knight attracted a lot of attention. Not only the pirates who wanted to attack the Sunny were stunned, even Luffy and the others were stunned for a moment.

As for the other Divine Knights and Five Elders, their eyes were filled with murderous intent and trance. Dorag had killed another powerful immortal. This was very bad news for those of them who possessed immortal bodies!

Just when Dorag killed the short divine knight and was about to assist others in the battle, something unexpected happened on the battlefield again!

Just like when the Knights of God appeared on the scene, there were more than a dozen areas covered by black flames on the field!

The Five Elders and the Divine Knights did not react much to this, as they assumed that this was the result of their internal discussion and requesting help from Im, so it was within their expectations.

But others were not so calm. Some looked with curiosity, some looked with worry, some looked with doubt, and some looked with fear. Standing in different standpoints, the emotions that surged in their hearts were also different!

The group of people who came through the teleportation array were indeed the ones who came to ask for help from Im after the Five Elders and Shamrock discussed and decided in the shortest time after the death of the short divine knight!

It was really because Dorag put too much pressure on them. The ultimate move that could kill the short God Knight in one blow was a threat to the lives of most of the God Knights!

If they just sit there and wait for death, Dragon will probably reduce their combat power by half in a short period of time. Then, with the Straw Hat Pirates, Kaido and Big Mom, Kidd and Law, they will all lose their lives here!

Although these people are only trainee members of the Knights of God, their strength is not much different from that of the official Knights of God. It’s just that there are only so many places for official members, so they have no chance of promotion.

Just like the middle-aged man who was just promoted to a formal member, he won a competition and became a formal member of the Knights of God after Garin was promoted to one of the Five Elders. This is what is called one man for one job!

The Divine Knights do not have the long lifespan of the Five Elders. Apprentice members will only have a chance after the old Divine Knights die or retire.

Of course, there were also accidents during the mission, such as encountering the Straw Hat Pirates who were capable of killing them.

The trainee members of the Knights of God also signed a soul contract with Im, but were not given the ability to become immortal!

They move up one level at a time, and their treatment is the same. Apprentice members only have the ability to use teleportation arrays!

Official members will have immortality on this basis!

The Five Elder Stars above them are formal members of the Knights of God and can also enjoy a long lifespan!

Regardless of their strength, their position is the source of their ability. Obviously, Im is also secretly encouraging these elite Tianlong people to compete and become stronger!

Although after signing the soul contract, Im can decide their life or death with just one word, he cannot help them with their practice. If they want to become stronger, they still have to rely on themselves!

Although the group of apprentice divine knights who arrived now do not have the ability of immortality, their strength is not weak, and they are basically powerful devil fruit ability users!

In addition, their numbers were not small. Once they joined the battle, the slight advantage that Dorag had just gained would be wiped out in an instant!

If these trainee members replace a few regular members who possess immortal bodies, then Luffy and his side will be in danger!

This is a strategy that any normal person can think of, and there is no way the Five Elders could not have thought of it!

When Dragon saw those clusters of black flames, a shadow shrouded his heart. He didn't know that these people were not immortal, but it was an indisputable fact that new forces had joined the World Government!

The Five Elders were indeed not stupid. The moment the black flames dissipated, those apprentice Divine Knights immediately ran towards the weaker companions of the Straw Hat Pirates!

The Five Elders were well aware that these apprentice God Knights did not have the ability to be immortal. If they encountered someone much stronger than them, such as Dragon, Straw Hat Boy, Ace the Fire Fist, Kuzan, and Zoro, then their presence here would be meaningless.

So they can only pick the weak ones and release those divine knights who are truly immortal, and let these divine knights besiege those strong men who have the ability to break their immortality. This is the most correct decision!

After the trainee members were teleported over, the Five Elders immediately arranged this strategy for them using internal voice, targeting the variable Dorag!
