Chapter 698 Falling Stars

On Egghead Island, the battle between the pirates and the navy continued, but both Kaido and Big Mom had the idea of ​​retreating.

Although the two sides were still fighting back and forth on the front battlefield, the pirates actually had the upper hand because the Whitebeard Pirates, who had originally chosen to watch, suddenly joined in inexplicably.

But the problem before them was that even if they rushed to the interior of Egghead Island, they would be stopped by the invisible barrier on the cloud.

If there were no navy to disturb them, Kaido and Big Mom would probably be able to break through by force, but now they were entangled by the admiral of the navy, and the few who were more capable were also held back by Garp and other old men.

As for the Whitebeard Pirates, although they also participated in the battle, they did not intend to go deeper. They just fought with the navy on the edge and then retreated. After the navy noticed this, they did not provoke them again, so it was unrealistic to ask him to help hold back the high-level combat power of the navy.

Because of this, Kaido and BIG·MOM saw no hope of breaking through Egg Island and capturing Vegapunk.

Of course, giving up is impossible.

If they were just envious of the artificial devil fruit and human giantization technology in Vegapunk's hands before, then after seeing the various technological products on Egg Island that could change the direction of the war, Kaido and BIG·MOM, as well as other forces that came to fish in troubled waters, were more determined to snatch Vegapunk.

However, just when Kaido and BIG·MOM were about to order a retreat, the lights and holographic images of the buildings on Egg Island suddenly dimmed.

At the same time, a dodged flying slash penetrated the island cloud above, and then directly chopped off a building on the research floor.

Although the building was fine except for a little paint falling off, it made all the pirates' eyes light up and all the navy's hearts tighten.

"Oh la la la la! That damn barrier is gone! Guys! Charge!!!"

Kaido forced Kizaru, who was entangled with him, to retreat with a stick. He turned into a huge blue dragon and soared into the sky, roaring loudly to convey the news to the pirates on the whole island. Then he opened his mouth, ignored the huge magma fist that Akainu was furiously hitting him, and blew a breath of hot air towards the research layer above.

On the other side, Charlotte Linlin also raised Napoleon in her hand very tacitly, and Prometheus and Zeus also gathered at the hilt and tip of Napoleon respectively...

"Light Cannon!"

"Damn it!"

Akainu had to stop attacking Kaido and turned to intercept the hot breath. Kizaru, who was forced to retreat before, also quickly blocked Charlotte Linlin's Light Cannon. Green Bull, who was assisting in the back, also quickly created a high tree wall to block Kaido and BIG MOM's attack one step ahead.

With the joint efforts of the three admirals, the attacks of the two sea emperors were still intercepted, but their reaction made the other pirates ecstatic.

"Hahahaha! The barrier is gone!"

"Everyone keep attacking! Force Vegapunk out!"

The morale of the pirates, which had already begun to decline, instantly rose, and they also learned from Kaido and Big Mom, leaving their opponents behind and launching various long-range attacks on the research layer above.

Even though most of the navy and CP agents knew that doing so was a short-term solution, they still made the same choice as the three admirals. They did not take the opportunity to attack the pirates who exposed their flaws, but turned around to protect the safety of the research layer one by one, and even risked their lives to directly use their bodies to block it.

In this way, the World Government, which was not in the upper hand, became even more flustered.

On the other side, the people of the Whitebeard Pirates also moved again. Although there were not many people dispatched and Whitebeard himself did not take action, it seemed that they also wanted to compete for Vegapunk. "Hmph! When did that old guy become so sinister?"

Kaido snorted coldly, thinking that Whitebeard was not taking action before to preserve his strength, and now that he saw hope, he jumped out and planned to reap the fruits of his labor.

The reason why he did not guard against this before was because it was not like Whitebeard's character. Usually, when the other party wanted something, he would just do it without saying anything.

But what Kaido never expected was that Whitebeard's character, which he had maintained for decades, would actually change when he got old.

In fact, Kaido's perception of Whitebeard was not wrong, but he did not expect that there was an ambitious man named Marshall D. Teach hidden in the Whitebeard Pirates. He had been encouraging those "companions" who were worried about Whitebeard's health along the way, wanting the Whitebeard Pirates to join the ranks of fighting for Vegapunk.

It's just that they were suppressed by Whitebeard before, and the defense of Egghead Island seemed impeccable, so there was no movement. But with the disappearance of the barrier, Ace and other impulsive young people could no longer sit still. Even if Whitebeard would blame them later, they still rushed out with Teach.

In addition to the Whitebeard Pirates, the Revolutionary Army, which had been slacking off, also began to make efforts...

Drag invited Vegapunk at the beginning, but unfortunately he was rejected because he was too poor. Now the Revolutionary Army has infiltrated many countries. Although the funds are not as good as the World Government, they are not as tight as before.

The most important thing is that who wouldn't be jealous of the technologies developed by Vegapunk? The top leaders of the Revolutionary Army all agreed that Vegapunk could no longer continue to serve the World Government.

With the addition of the two major forces, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army, the resistance of the World Government has become increasingly difficult.

To make matters worse, seeing that the situation began to deteriorate, the members of the Knights of God, who were also considered to be a part of the high-level combat power, began to retreat.

It's no problem to let these pampered Celestial Dragons fight in a favorable situation, but when they encounter an adverse situation, most of them will not perform much better than the escaped Best Saint.

After all, in their concept, their lives are extremely precious, and a mere Vegapunk is not worth their life.

Seeing that the navy's defense line was about to fall, the Celestial Dragons of the Knights of God were even planning to leave with the CP agents who were protecting them. All the strong men on Egghead Island suddenly felt a strange breath.

Immediately afterwards, two huge magic circles accompanied by flames and black lightning suddenly appeared on the open ground. The outermost circle of the magic circle was a bunch of strange runes that could not be understood, and inside was a huge five-pointed star, and in the gaps between the five corners, there was a number "5".

"Boom!"

There was a bang above the magic circle, and two black and ominous auras burst out from it and rushed straight into the sky.

The black aura was surging, and two figures slowly emerged from the center of the two magic circles.

At the same time, a broadcast that was a step slower sounded from the warships on the shore-

"Attention all marines! "Five Elder Stars" Saint Satan and Saint Maz have arrived at Egghead Island, and even brigadier generals and below are not allowed to meet them!"
