Kapitel 114: Chapter 114: Not All Rear Admirals Are Named Shiro
In the New World, somewhere in a vast sea…
At this time, the battle raging in these waters had reached a fever pitch.
With Momousagi, a former Admiral candidate, and Tokikake, another fellow Admiral candidate, locked in fierce combat, the intensity of the battle had escalated rapidly!
"Gion, don't be stubborn! Although you and I are evenly matched in strength, with the assistance of CP0, you'll be defeated sooner or later. Reinforcements from Marine Headquarters are already on the way. If you continue this, you're heading toward a dead end!" Vice Admiral Tokikake looked at Momousagi, who was visibly weakening, and spoke with an expression of concern.
After all, this was the woman he had desired for many years.
He had confessed his feelings hundreds of times, yet had never even held her hand. Was it easy?
By the strength of Momousagi alone, even though Tokikake was also a candidate for Admiral, he wouldn't be able to decide the battle with her in a short time.
But Momousagi had a disadvantage—she lacked strong assistance and had no support coming her way.
Although the Rear Admiral from the G-6 base under her command were not weak, in the realm of high-level combat, they were not particularly exceptional.
After all…
Not every Rear Admiral is named Shiro.
A Rear Admiral whose strength had reached the top level was a rare exception in history.
Thus, the support on Momousagi's side was insufficient.
Meanwhile, Tokikake had the backing of several experts from CP0.
Therefore, the longer the battle dragged on, the more pronounced Momousagi's disadvantage became.
Her defeat was only a matter of time.
Moreover, by choosing to defect from the Navy for Shiro's sake, Momousagi could not expect leniency from the World Government or Marine Headquarters.
Of course, for Tokikake, if Momousagi were to accept his confession, he might be able to help her.
However, she was clearly uninterested.
"Heh, dead end or not, since I've made my choice, I won't regret it. Shiro was trained by me, that's true, but the reason I chose to help him and leave the Navy is because I agree with his vision!"
"If he aims to achieve something great, how could I, whom he calls 'Aunt,' not risk my life to protect him?"
"So, stop spouting nonsense. If you want to stay by my side, you'll have to prove you're worthy!"
At this moment, the former Admiral candidate, Momousagi Gion, held her famous sword Jinpira, already stained with blood, though her hand holding the sword trembled slightly.
Tokikake's strength was not weaker than hers.
Not to mention the presence of CP0.
But so what?
She had taught Shiro to never give up, no matter the circumstances.
Now was the time for her to lead by example.
And she believed that Shiro must already be aware of her perilous situation.
As long as Shiro acted in the Calm Belt, Marine Headquarters and the World Government would certainly hesitate.
At that time, she could lead as many subordinates as possible in a retreat.
Boom—
Another powerful golden slash shot out.
Despite her disadvantage, Momousagi still managed to hold her own against the enemy.
The most dangerous aspect now was the subordinates she had brought from the G-6 base.
Tokikake's fleet was already strong, and with the support of the CP organization, she could manage, but her troops were already showing signs of defeat.
They were even being encircled, becoming trapped like beasts in a cage.
"Lady Gion, please leave us! With your strength, it's not difficult for you to escape. You mustn't perish here with us!"
At this critical moment, several of Momousagi's confidants urged her anxiously.
Given the current situation, it was impossible for the entire fleet to retreat.
The only one who could escape was Momousagi herself!
"Stop your chatter! Since I brought you out here, I won't leave alone!"
Facing her subordinates' concerned reminders, Momousagi loudly refused.
Abandoning her subordinates and fleeing to save her own life? She would never do such a thing unless utterly defeated.
What's more, the morale on her side was already extremely low.
If she even considered running away alone, it would inevitably lead to the collapse of their defense.
These Marines had followed her and defected from the Navy. If they were captured, the World Government would not spare them.
"She is truly a woman of kindness and righteousness. I like that. Gion, say the word and accept my confession. If you agree, I can ensure all the soldiers under your command will go free!"
Even in the midst of battle, Tokikake continued his relentless confessions.
The CP0 team leader assisting him in dealing with Momousagi didn't respond to this.
The World Government's target was solely Momousagi.
The other defected Marines were merely small fry and didn't matter at all.
As long as they captured Momousagi!
After all, she was a crucial piece in the World Government's plan to annihilate Shiro.
The former Admiral candidate, Momousagi, not only possessed formidable strength but also held a more important role.
She was one of the most notorious criminals in the world, Shiro closest mentor, and one of his guides in the Navy!
And Shiro was the thorn in the World Government's side.
To set a deadly trap for Shiro, Momousagi was the perfect bait.
No matter what kind of fish, as long as the bait is used correctly, it will bite!
"Don't even think about it, Tokikake. No matter what, I won't fall into your hands today. Let's fight!"
At this moment, Momousagi was full of valor and confidence, her powerful aura radiating freely. Even when faced with a larger number of enemies, she showed no fear.
In reality, Momousagi was fully aware of the World Government's sinister intentions.
Therefore, she would never let them succeed.
Even if she had to die, she would never be used as a weapon against Shiro!
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a shame. The former Admiral candidate, Momousagi… If you hadn't defected from the Navy, perhaps in a few years, you would have become a rare female Admiral in Marine history!"
The CP0 team leader sneered with mockery.
Although he admitted that Momousagi possessed decent strength, it didn't matter.
She was on the wrong side!
Choosing to oppose the World Government was a path of self-destruction!
In the face of the god-like Celestial Dragons, everything in this world was nothing more than a plaything!
"Ha!"
Momousagi scoffed coldly, then suddenly blew a kiss towards Tokikake.
This action left Tokikake momentarily stunned, his heart nearly leaping out of his chest.
Taking advantage of this momentary lapse, Momousagi swiftly attacked the CP0 team leader with her sword!
Facing overwhelming odds, she knew she had to break through.
Even if she could only save a small number of her subordinates, she had no choice.
This time, she had been careless, but she was determined to make amends!
"Damn it!"
The CP0 team leader quickly retreated as Momousagi's furious assault bore down on him.
Damn Tokikake, what are you daydreaming for?
In terms of raw power alone, he was no match for the former Admiral Momousagi!
No choice left.
Rokushiki: Tekkai!
