One Piece: Shadow monarch? I'm Just Logistics!

Chapter 202: The Undead Army Tests Its Skills

The slaughter on the ice of Marineford Bay was unceasing. The area was filled with the light and sound of explosions, and the pungent smell of sulfur rushed into the nostrils.

Black smoke of gunpowder danced with burning embers, and the entire sky was covered in a gray, thick haze.

A falcon circled high in the sky. Reiner stood on its back, looking down at the battlefield.

The Marine side had deployed one hundred thousand elites for this battle, while the affiliated pirate fleet of Whitebeard in the New World had a force of about fifty thousand.

Even setting aside the top-tier combatants, the Marine side held a huge advantage, not to mention they were fighting on their home ground.

However, the situation on the field was a stalemate, and the Marines' defense line was even being pushed back bit by bit.

"It seems they plan to lure all the pirates deep into the bay before closing the net. How greedy."

A cold light glinted in Reiner's glasses. Dozens, even hundreds, of black lines appeared out of thin air above his head.

The next moment, one black line after another slowly opened into eye-like void rifts.

"Roar!!"

"Hiss!!"

The dark, deep openings seemed to connect to a gloomy, desolate world. One by one, massive, ferocious demons poked out their claws and fangs.

"A gift from Golden Lion. Accept it well, Sengoku."

Reiner sneered and waved his large hand. All the beasts immediately broke free from their restraints and plummeted towards the battlefield below!

Their massive bodies accelerated under the pull of gravity, whistling through the air.

Swish—!

Swish—!

In the bay, a pirate who had been shot and fallen, was struggling to prop himself up on the ice.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he happened to glimpse a large number of dark shadows falling rapidly from the sky. In his surprise, he couldn't help but shout to those around him.

"Look! There's something in the sky!"

"What is that?!"

"It must be a Marine tactic!"

"Beasts?!"

Hearing his voice, the surrounding pirates subconsciously looked up. Seeing the massive bodies, they couldn't help but stop in their tracks in shock.

The same scene played out among the Marines. Their side had not deployed such a tactic at all, so they naturally and subconsciously thought it was an enemy move.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A large amount of ice fragments flew everywhere. One after another, the fierce beasts smashed onto the ground. The impact from their terrifying weight was even more powerful than that of cannonballs!

"Uwaah!"

"Run!"

"Be careful not to get crushed!"

"Urk!"

The entire ice surface trembled continuously. One deep pit after another was smashed into the Marine ranks.

With the landing of almost every beast, a large number of soldiers were crushed, and the powerful gust of wind it stirred up once again blew away the surrounding Marines.

"Wh-what on earth is going on?"

Looking at the billowing clouds of thick smoke, Flower Sword Vista was deeply puzzled. Pops definitely didn't have this plan, but to say it was a Marine tactic...

"A misfire?"

"Hahaha, you idiot Marines!"

"Serves you right!"

"Hey! Look, they're moving!" a pirate shouted, pointing at the wriggling dark shadows in the thick smoke!

"Roar!!"

"Aow!!"

A series of roars instantly blew away the dust and smoke, revealing the bizarrely-shaped, ferocious wild beasts within!

A six-legged, two-tailed saber-toothed tiger with black and blue stripes roared and charged out!

It lifted its front paws, which were as large as tables. The smooth muscle lines showed the power contained within, and it swiped down fiercely at a small squad of Marines!

Bang!!

"Ah!"

On the other side, a green light flashed past. A giant mantis with arms like blades flew rapidly through the crowd.

Its two sharp forelegs, like the scythes of the grim reaper, reaped madly. Wherever it passed, blood flew!

A large purple butterfly flapped its wings, scattering poison powder and causing the surrounding Marines to fall into a stupor.

A black-and-white striped long-armed bear ran wildly, swatting away any soldiers who blocked its path with its paws.

Dozens, even hundreds, of powerful beasts erupted in an instant, charging recklessly through the crowd like unstoppable war chariots. The battlefield immediately resounded with a chorus of mournful cries!

All the Marines looked up at the massive monsters, unable to help but be shocked.

"What are these monsters!"

"Be careful! These are not ordinary beasts!"

Faced with the ferociously charging beast horde, the ordinary soldiers' eyes showed terror as they retreated one after another, while frantically raising their guns and pulling the triggers.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

However, these were mutated beasts that Golden Lion had spent twenty years cultivating, and Reiner had even selected the strongest hundred or so from thousands.

Even Luffy had to use Gear Second and Third to deal with them. Let alone guns, some of the thick-skinned ones could even tank cannon fire with little effect.

"Guns don't work on them!"

"We can't stop them at all!!"

The ordinary soldiers had completely fallen into despair. Before these ridiculously strong fierce beasts, they were no different from ants.

"Stand down! Leave them to us!"

A giant Vice Admiral roared and charged up, raising the double-bladed great axe in his hands and chopping down fiercely at the back of a mammoth!

Bang!

The great axe, carrying the heavy force of a mountain, crashed down, directly tearing open a huge gash.

Then the giant Vice Admiral kicked it away and, shouldering his great axe, shouted, "A bunch of beasts, don't get too arrogant!"

Following him, several other massive figures took a step forward, charging towards the mutated beasts scattered across the battlefield!

"The giant Vice Admirals are here!"

"So strong! This is the power of the giants!"

"They're so reliable!"

The appearance of the giant Vice Admiral unit undoubtedly gave the Marines a huge boost in morale. After all, that was the world's number one warrior race.

In their eyes, the massive beasts were no different from ordinary animals.

However, was that really the case?

Clang!

A female giant Vice Admiral held a greatsword with both hands and swung it horizontally at a giant red-and-blue-spotted octopus in front of her.

The sharp blade whistled past, instantly severing two of its tentacles.

The octopus immediately curled up its other tentacles, its eyes glinting fiercely as it rapidly punched out with its tentacles like fists!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Continuous strikes!

The female giant Vice Admiral gritted her teeth and blocked with the flat of her sword, but the heavy punches, one after another, forced her back continuously.

Screech—!

Her feet scraped along the ice, plowing two trenches dozens of meters long before she barely managed to stop.

"These guys are simply not comparable to ordinary wild beasts."

The female giant Vice Admiral couldn't help but feel a deep sense of dread. She was just about to raise her greatsword to counterattack...

Suddenly, a giant crimson python's cold eyes narrowed, and it coiled up her leg!

Before she could bring her greatsword down on the snake's body, the octopus immediately shot out its tentacles and locked her arms firmly. The other nearby beasts immediately roared and charged at her!

"This is bad!"

The female giant Vice Admiral was instantly alarmed. These guys could actually cooperate!

The crimson python's taut muscles wriggled, constricting her tightly, as if it wanted to crush her very bones!

"John, help me!!"

The female giant Vice Admiral immediately shouted to another giant Vice Admiral not far away for help.

A white wolf leaped up and bit into her shoulder, and a spray of blood flew out.

"Aaaah!!" The pain from her body made her expression contort, and she couldn't help but squeeze out tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Beria!!"

The giant Vice Admiral called John Giant turned his head abruptly upon hearing her voice. He raised his greatsword and was about to rush to her rescue.

A gorilla with silver fur and muscles like forged steel shot over like a cannonball!

The gorilla's large, powerful palm grabbed the giant Vice Admiral's head, and using its momentum, slammed him headfirst into the ground!

Bang!!

Vice-commander of the Undead Army, White-Haired Gorilla, has arrived!

(The name was given by Luffy.)

"Even the giant Vice Admirals are...!"

"What kind of monsters are these guys!"

The Marine soldiers couldn't help but show terror in their eyes.

These fierce beasts could actually defeat giant Vice Admirals through cooperation, and there were even a few among them who could take on a Vice Admiral single-handedly.

Ordinary firearms couldn't harm them. How were they supposed to fight?!

On the execution platform, Sengoku's face darkened slightly.

He had to take these monsters that had suddenly appeared on the battlefield seriously. It wasn't that their strength was too great; it wouldn't be difficult for Onigumo and the others to deal with them.

But the important thing was that these monsters were scattered all over the battlefield and knew how to fight cooperatively, as if they were being controlled by someone.

Dealing with them one by one would disperse a large number of mid-tier combatants. At that point, only he and Garp would be left in front of the execution platform.

If he didn't let those powerful Vice Admirals handle it, the ordinary soldiers would face enormous losses.

Sengoku looked gravely at the figure facing him in the distance. "Is this also your strategy, Whitebeard?"

After dispersing the forces in front of the execution platform, what other strategy will you have?

And on the other side, Whitebeard grinned, his face showing amusement as he also looked at Sengoku.

Although he didn't know who was behind this, he was very happy to see him suffer a setback.
