G-1 Branch.
This is the branch with the highest ranking number among all the GL branches, and also the most powerful and overall strongest branch in the New World.
Both G-5 Branch and G-14 Branch have only two Headquarter Vice Admirals, and need to leave one to guard the base, so this time they can only send one Vice Admiral to lead the ship.
And the G-1 Branch?
A total of five Vice Admirals!
This time they sent out three large standardized warships and five medium warships, led by three Vice Admirals, responsible for blocking the sea area to the north.
Leading them is the current base chief of the G-1 Branch, the veteran Headquarter Vice Admiral, Flying Squirrel.
At this moment.
"Endgame Pirates Deputy Captain, 'Gale Sword Master' Kuina?"
Flying Squirrel stood at the foremost end of the flagship deck, hand on the sword handle, his cold gaze swept over the ponytailed girl walking in midair, frowning as he spoke:
"Even though you are a Great Pirate with a bounty of over seven hundred million Bellys, isn't it too arrogant to think you can block our G-1 Branch fleet alone?"
"Arrogant or not, take my sword, won't you know?"
Kuina was expressionless, lightly pushed the sword guard with her thumb, and the Wado Ichimonji suddenly unsheathed, with a flash of cold light.
"Hmph, don't underestimate people, pirate!"
Before Flying Squirrel could respond, behind him, a burly Vice Admiral with a bushy mustache shouted angrily, also drew his sword, and suddenly stepped off the deck, rushing towards Kuina like a cannonball, "Let me first test your strength!"
"Don't be impulsive!"
Flying Squirrel hurriedly shouted to stop him, but it was too late.
Shua——!
The sword light was like snow, the Vice Admiral with the bushy mustache had not yet fully reached the high sky when a Sword Qi enveloped in a fierce gale had already slashed across his chest!
Chilalai!
Blood splattered, and although this Vice Admiral quickly used Armament Haki to cover and block, he was still cut through the flesh, grunted, and fell on the deck, crashing several Navy Soldiers out.
"Vice Admiral Siteres!" The surrounding Navy Soldiers exclaimed and hurriedly came up to support him.
Hearing this name, Kuina's expression changed slightly.
"What did they call you?"
She looked coldly, blade pointing at the Vice Admiral on the deck, "Siteres?"
"What, do you know me?"
Siteres stood up clutching his chest, suspiciously looked up and down Kuina's face, sneered, "But I don't remember meeting you before."
"..."
Kuina squinted her eyes, remained silent for two seconds, then suddenly shook her head expressionlessly: "Whatever, you just need to know that today you will surely die here, that's enough."
Hmm?
Suddenly frowning as if noticing something, she didn't even look, but her sword suddenly slashed towards the position slightly back to the right.
Buzz!
Sword Qi howled, the final G-1 Vice Admiral who launched a surprise attack from another warship had a changed expression, crossed his fists to block, barely managing to fend off this sword, but was still knocked to the deck, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
This one's appearance was more peculiar compared to Siteres.
His right arm was a modified steam mechanical arm, bald head, ugly appearance, had six chins with layers of fat stacked.
He was obviously not young, seemed to be another veteran Vice Admiral, but at this moment he suddenly looked up, unable to hide his shock.
"Oh, amazing..."
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stared closely at Kuina in mid-air, "This person's swordsmanship...is much stronger than intelligence estimated!"
"Now's not the time to be surprised! Red King!"
Standing at the forefront, Flying Squirrel, finally drew his sword, the blade entwined with thick pure black Haki, said in a deep voice, "And you, Siteres! Acting alone has no chance, you both must cooperate with me! Understand?!"
The other two Vice Admirals, acting alone, were each knocked down with one sword.
What terrifying strength!
But on thinking carefully, it's not unexpected, considering during the previous Shampodi incident, the opponent was a force delaying Admiral Candidate Tokikake for over an hour alone.
"Understood!"
The other two Vice Admirals responded in unison, all three leaping up with Moonwalk, encircling Kuina in a triangular formation, Flying Squirrel attacking, Red King and Siteres supporting.
Three against one?
Kuina remained indifferent, gripping the Wado Ichimonji tightly.
At this moment the surrounding whole circle, all came the sound of white Cloaks of Justice fluttering in the wind, bringing back some memories.
Thinking back to Thor Island then, facing Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral Dalmatia, she was quite struggling, needing Nojiko's side to distract and barely hold her own.
And now, time has changed.
On the contrary, these veteran Navy Headquarters Vice Admirals, seeing her self-proclaimed no match, are now teaming up for tag battle.
She couldn't help but smile lightly.
Just fitting my intentions!
Shua!
The ponytailed girl's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, reappearing already in front of Flying Squirrel.
Step Forward Slash!
Amidst the somewhat astonished gazes of the three Headquarter Vice Admirals, Kuina's sword light instantly turned into a rounded arc, simultaneously slashing towards the three of them!
...
Meanwhile, to the southwest.
Responsible for encircling here, was G-5 Branch, consisting of a large standardized warship and two slightly smaller warships, the momentum was much weaker compared to that of G-1 Branch.
Mist enveloped the sea, Smoker, with his elementalized body, against the dense artillery fire containing Armament Haki, landed firmly on the flagship's deck.
And behind him, Robin also took advantage of the smoke cover to land on the ground, the wings born from her sides transformed into petals and dissipated.
