One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

To be fair, at this stage Sakaski is not much stronger than Kozuki Oden, and the strength gap is not even obvious.

After all, five years later, Kaido had a decisive battle with Kozuki Oden, and it took a fierce battle for Kaido to win. Kozuki Oden also left a scar on Kaido that will be difficult to heal for the rest of his life.

Kozuki Oden was simply stimulated by the "Ame-no-Habebi" in Anna's hand, and he only focused on attacking and ignored defense, while Sakaski attacked with all his strength, so he was able to succeed in one strike.

"Bastard Navy!"

The lava covering his face and the overwhelming speech made Kozuki Oden feel cold all over, but this made Guan Le Oden calm down temporarily.

"You two, don't fight in my yard. Go outside if you want to fight!"

At this time, Feng Yueling, who had already realized the specific situation, roared with a bad look on his face.

"Justice must not be violated!"

Sakaski bumped his fists together, his face full of displeasure.

Of course, this dissatisfaction is not directed at Feng Yue Ling. After all, Feng Yue Ling has been helping the navy with training these days. Sakaski still respects such things that are conducive to justice.

What really made Sakaski unhappy was Kozuki Oden's attitude when he saw him.

Seeing that he didn't run away at the first moment, he dared to fight back. How dare he!

If it weren't for Rayleigh behind him, Sakaski would have rushed forward long ago.

By then, with the help of the navy behind him, capturing Oden alive will not be a dream.

After a few days of contact, Sakaski had already discovered that the little girl Anna, who was well protected by Carsente, was not only not weak in hard power, but was ridiculously strong.

A top-notch configuration, three-color domineering, special ability of observation, mythical beast fruit, and a large sword. In terms of hardware, it is not much weaker than himself.

If you have the determination to not fear death and a strong sense of combat, you can even be able to hold your own for half a day or a day and still come out unscathed.

Even though his combat awareness is extremely poor, he is still capable of serving as a supporting force. As long as he is not killed instantly by Kozuki Oden, he has room to operate, so Sakaski is really ready to make a move now.

On the other side, Rayleigh saw that Kozuki Oden had calmed down, and hurriedly whispered:

"Oden, stop wasting time, go, go!"

Unlike Kozuki Oden, Rayleigh could see clearly that Sakaski on the navy side was not a senior general. The battle had already started, and energy fluctuations of this level would definitely be captured by Carsent.

When the other party arrives, he and Oden won’t have to leave.

"Leave? Why should we leave, Brother Rayleigh? This guy is not much stronger than me. Let's join forces and at least take back the precious sword of my country of Wano!"

On the contrary, Kozuki Oden, who did not realize the seriousness of the matter, was full of indignation. The two swords in his hands kept sliding, and he was eager to try.

Rayleigh wanted to say something else, but suddenly, as if a gust of wind blew, a figure appeared silently behind Rayleigh, and the hand gently placed on Rayleigh's shoulder made Rayleigh suddenly freeze in place, as if struck by lightning.

"That's right, if he wants to fight, let him fight. Don't worry, I will be there to support him, so there won't be any problems."

"At worst, I can still cover for you. It's not a big deal."

Hearing the lazy tone behind him, Kozuki Oden didn't react at first. He thought that Rayleigh finally agreed with his opinion, so he responded.

"No problem, Brother Rayleigh, that's how it should be... like this..."

Halfway through his words, Kozuki Oden realized something was wrong. He turned his head little by little, only to find that the naval admiral, whom he regarded as a nightmare, was standing behind him, smiling at him.

"Ghost!"

This frightened Kozuki Oden so much that he jumped dozens of meters away and quickly raised his two swords.

You should know that the pressure from Carsen and Sakaski is completely different. Sakaski only makes Kozuki Oden feel fearful, while Carsen brings pure fear to Kozuki Oden.

At the same time, seeing that Carsent had no intention of attacking immediately, Rayleigh hurriedly dodged carefully and retreated to a distance.

"Carsente, how did you avoid my observation lock?"

With a frown, Kozuki Oden asked the question that concerned him most. You know, although his attention had been focused on Sakaski just now, people in all directions also had the perception of Observation Haki.

It is almost impossible for a strong man to be attacked from behind on the battlefield. This is the iron rule of the battlefield, because of the powerful observation Haki.

"This involves some skills, so I won't tell you."

Seeing that his experiment was effective, Carsen nodded with satisfaction and teased Kozuki Oden.

Observation and Killing, this thing is not Shanks' exclusive ability. Fergalland Garin can also do this. However, Garin does not use simple Conqueror's Haki to cut off the perception of Observation and Killing, but his extremely powerful swordsmanship.

After getting the specific training methods from Garin Sheng, Carsente combined his own training methods, combining the Conqueror's Haki with his own Black Tortoise's pressure, using the terrifying momentum that could suppress everything to interfere with the local Observation Haki.

That all-pervasive pressure was enough to cause more than half of the Whitebeard Pirates to be killed or injured with just the pressure of the Black Tortoise as early as the New World Naval War. Countless pirates were crushed into meat paste without any room for struggle.

That was a year and a half ago. Carsent's strength has improved significantly, and his domineering color has become stronger as his plan is implemented.

Under such a terrifying aura, even the perception speed of the Observation Haki will be compressed to the extreme. Simply put, under this kind of aura, it may take you ten seconds to perceive what is happening around you, and by then it will be too late.

However, Carsen has only reached the initial stage of development. Simply put, for Kozuki Oden, he needs to have both the strength to crush him and be deliberate in order to succeed.

With Carsent's current ability, it is still unrealistic to directly interfere with the observation Haki of the top combat power.

"Come on, Kozuki Oden, you want to fight, right? Go ahead, just pretend I was never here!"

Seeing Kozuki Oden's nervous look, the smile on Carsent's face turned extremely cold.

Sakaski on the side also sneered and watched the show, to see how this arrogant pirate would end up.

"Sir, we have no intention of offending you. It is just a coincidence that we are here today."

Seeing that the situation was no longer resolvable, Rayleigh had no choice but to explain.

"Then Kozuki Oden, don't you want revenge? Come on, I'm right here, and I welcome your challenge!"

Carsente ignored Rayleigh and continued to tease Kozuki Oden.

"Look, if you can win, not only can you avenge your previous defeat and get your sword back, but you can also help the entire Roger Pirates take the initiative in Wano Country."

"Would you like to try it?"

Seeing Kozuki Oden struggling between fear and confusion in the red heat, Carsent decided to add fuel to the fire.
