Starting with helping Zhao Kai ascend the throne in the snow

"General Fujitora, please don't make things difficult for me." Just as Fujitora was smiling wryly, the steward once again bowed respectfully to Fujitora with a beaming smile.

Fujitora nodded upon seeing this, and the next second, he used his Gravity Fruit ability to fly back to the flagship.

He knew there was no turning back now. Both CP0 and the Celestial Dragons were drawn by the bounty offered by Tesoro and were determined to wade into the mess at the Golden Entertainment City. He could only passively follow suit.

After all, he is the Navy's top combatant sent to protect the Celestial Dragons. Whether he likes it or not, if anything happens to a Celestial Dragon, the World Government will inevitably hold him accountable.

Therefore, he can only avoid being held accountable by the World Government by protecting the Celestial Dragons. Moreover, if he doesn't go, and something really happens to the Celestial Dragons, CP0 would be very willing to pin the blame on him.

The battle continues in the Golden Entertainment City plaza, and the destructive force of both sides has turned the plaza into ruins.

Kuzan firmly suppressed Tesoro. Even though the opponent had the home-field advantage and countless golds at his disposal, the metals became extremely fragile under Kuzan's ice abilities and could not exert their due power at all.

At this moment, Tesoro's body was covered with scratches from ice spikes. If it weren't for his relatively strong Haki, he would probably have already been defeated by Kuzan.

Tesoro had wanted to escape for a long time, but Hawkeye, who was always on the scene, made him afraid to act rashly and also prevented him from finding an opportunity to escape. At this moment, he could only hold on to his last breath and wait for a turning point in the battlefield to appear so that he could escape.

Hawkeye's ability to instantly kill ten Pacifistas with a single strike deterred the surrounding pirates and security personnel from daring to cause him trouble. Only occasionally would one or two foolish idiots rush towards him, but that would only result in another death at his hands.

Crocodile was the busiest person on the scene. After witnessing Hawkeye's imposing presence, most of the pirates and security personnel unanimously focused their efforts on him.

Surrounded by hundreds or even thousands of people, Old Sha was excited on one hand, but inwardly cursing on the other. This was because the other party was unethical and was hiding in the crowd using Seastone weapons against him. If he hadn't been careful and used his domineering aura to defend himself, he would have been caught off guard and defeated.

Moreover, facing endless attacks from all sides, his stamina was severely depleted. If he didn't want to show weakness in front of Kuzan, he might have dodged and changed his fighting style instead of fighting to the death at the front, blocking most of the pirates and security personnel and preventing him from attacking the battlefield between Kuzan and Tesoro.

"Hmph, trying to play tricks on me? You're asking for death." Just then, Hawkeye, who had been observing the battle, suddenly picked up his black sword and slashed at the ground not far away. Instantly, the ground was torn apart by the sharp sword energy, which penetrated several meters into the ground, causing a scream.

The next second, Mr. Tanaka, clutching the wound on his waist, crawled out of the ground with lingering fear, and then fled far away from Hawkeye.

He had just intended to use his Pass-Pass Fruit ability to rescue Tesoro while Hawkeye was distracted by the other pirates, but he didn't expect that he would be detected by Hawkeye's Observation Haki as soon as he sneaked into a place not far from the battlefield. He was then forced out by Hawkeye's sword. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been cut in two.

"Lord Tesoro, it's not that I don't want to save you, but I'm simply powerless to do so," Mr. Tanaka said bitterly, looking at Hawkeye guarding the battlefield. With Hawkeye watching over them, Tesoro probably wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

Just when Mr. Tanaka was at his wit's end, a series of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from not far away. The next second, a powerful aura emanated from these people dressed as security personnel.

They were Tesoro's hidden forces: a dozen or so individuals with bounties of hundreds of millions, and hundreds of artificial Devil Fruit users.

"Kuzan, how long are you going to take down Tesoro? If you can't keep up, let Hawkeye take over." Old Sha, who had been struggling to hold on, turned green when he saw a large group of menacing security personnel suddenly appear.

These people who suddenly appeared were clearly not to be trifled with, especially the twenty-odd people in the lead; each of them possessed a powerful aura and gave him a sense of danger.

"You've come at the perfect time! Quickly go and save Lord Tesoro, he can't hold on much longer!" Mr. Tanaka said excitedly, his previous dejection vanishing the moment he saw these people.

As Tesoro's confidant, he knew the strength of these people. They were an extremely powerful force, capable of fighting even a Marine Admiral for a while. As long as they could disrupt the battlefield, Tesoro would have a chance to escape.

"We've taken their money, so we're obligated to help them out. We're all wanted by the Navy and the World Government. Without Lord Tesoro's protection, none of us would survive. So today, we must rescue Lord Tesoro. Let's fight side by side!" A burly man with a resolute face said, his body covered in Armament Haki, and charged towards Crocodile first.

People wanted by the World Government are not necessarily bad people. This big man was persecuted by corrupt elements in the World Government because of his wife's beauty, which ultimately led to the destruction of his family. In a fit of rage, he killed the perpetrator, which resulted in him being wanted by the World Government and forced into exile at sea, where he was recruited by Tesoro.

"Damn it, I'm not made of clay!" When Old Sha saw these people suddenly rushing towards him, he immediately became fierce and unleashed the Desert Vajra Blade. However, his strength alone was not enough to fight against these people, and the Desert Vajra Blade was quickly shattered by the enemy. Faced with several powerful figures rushing to his side, Old Sha could only choose to retreat and clear the way.

The next second, the thousands of security personnel and pirates who had been held back by Crocodile, along with hundreds of artificial Devil Fruit users, rushed toward Hawkeye's location, trying to force him to retreat and thus affect the battle between Kuzan and Tesoro.

"Night Slash." Facing the thousands of security personnel rushing towards him, Hawkeye stood calmly with his sword in hand. As the crowd charged, he unleashed a fierce slash, channeling his domineering aura and sword energy.

Suddenly, the crowd that had rushed forward fell like wheat being harvested by a sickle, and the pungent smell of blood immediately filled the air, the crimson blood staining the ground.

"Don't be afraid, everyone! Charge with me! How can a mere Hawkeye stop so many of us?" The resolute giant narrowly escaped Hawkeye's attack. Seeing the fear in the crowd around him, he gritted his teeth and charged forward again.

With him leading the way, the previously stagnant crowd surged forward again, over the corpses beneath their feet, and approached Hawkeye's side.

Facing the onrushing crowd, Hawkeye killed one pirate with each slash, but the enemy still managed to break through his defenses. Several pirates who managed to get through rushed towards Kuzan with excited expressions, as if they could see money beckoning to them.
