6.3 Invasion
"Nee~, How scary~, so slow~." Borsalino smirked as he flashed out of the danger and let those two techniques hit an empty spot.
*WHAAM!
The sound and flash coming from the initial battle seem to mark the beginning of the war!
"KIIIILL....!!!"
"Rahahahahaha...Die Marines!"
"Wooooooo......"
The voices of the Pirate's coalition army drowned the battle between Borsalino and the others.
*Wooosh...
More than 5000 crazed pirates went down from the floating island which now beginning to reshape its environment due to Avalo Pizarro's Devil Fruit ability.
"STEADY MAN! KEEP YOUR CALM!" Said one of the Marine Commodores towards his team under the floating island.
The Marineford's bay where the HQ's main square was situated was shaped like a crescent moon, it was hard to attack and easy to defend in theory, however, with the enemies coming from the sky, its natural advantage had gone!
"OPEN FIRE!!!" Kimimaro ordered his soldiers to begin their assault.
The Marines obeyed his order by using their long-range weapons to whittle down the enemy's number.
*Bang! *Bang! *Bang!
"Gyaaaa...!"
"Aaaakh, I'm shot! damn it marine!"
"use your devil fruit ability, ukh!"
Not everyone could train their body to become invulnerable from bullets, the armies of Pirates began to show their shortcoming from the incoherent chain of command and strategy, while the Marines showed their cooperation perfectly.
*Bang! *Bang! *Bang!
the guns and cannons were shooting non-stop against those bunch of criminals, there was no need for Marines to show mercy towards a bunch of murderers, robbers, and pillagers!
Kimimaro stood while keeping track of his soldier's movement all around him, his Kenbunshoku(Color of Observation) Haki wasn't as broken as Enel, nevertheless, it was enough for him to keep track of the Marineford battlefield.
As a high-ranked Marine, Kimimaro assumed the role of acting commander when the Fleet Admiral or Admiral ranked person wasn't in HQ or had been incapacitated.
Tsuru, Borsalino, and Kuzan even Garp were older than him, however, other than Sakazuki who right now wasn't available, these commander tasks fell on his shoulders, why?
Because Garp doesn't want to do it, Tsuru despite being powerful was more into logistics lately after she took a break from the combat unit.
as for Kuzan and Borsalino, the latter never took things seriously and Kuzan was too lazy to do it.
Currently, Kimimaro was back at the high stone platform, overseeing the ongoing battle while giving out orders non-stop.
"South team A, D, F! Cooperate with Commodore Karse and swipe those pirates from the flank!"
"Saul-san! Go to your left! back up the center team with Oimo and John!"
"North team G, H, K! Go to Vice Admiral Tsuru at zone L, go assist her!"
"EVERYONE! MARINEFORD LIES ON YOUR SHOULDER! WE WON'T LET THOSE SCUM TAKE A BITE AT US!"
"OUUUUUGH....!"
The Marines were pumped out and seemingly ready to die for their home under Kimimaro's speech.
Just like a well-oiled machine, the soldiers obeyed Kimimaro's command and went to execute those orders.
Kimimaro ignored Borsalino who battled against three infamous pirates while Kuzan assisted the latter at this point.
the flash of light and ice were thrown everywhere in their battle against World, Vasco, and Pizarro! Whenever their Busoshoku(Color of Armament) Haki clashed there would be tremors all around them.
Kimimaro's concern fell on the ranks of Commodore and Captains which weren't too proficient with Haki, against 5000 pirates!
Marine's Commodore and Captain ranks were the door for those who had a decent talent for Haki to showcase themselves and make them stand out from the other soldiers, that was why Kimimaro ordered only Commodore and Captain ranks to the battlefield, instead of the lower ranks Marine. They would only become cannon fodder if they were to be sent to this kind of battlefield.
At the same time...
