225 Unexpected Arrival

Sabo was swept away by the force of Shiryu's strong attack that came like a rain.

Seeing this situation, Koala immediately supported him.

He noticed Koala had the chance to put his right hand on her waist, positioned his left hand in a martial arts stance, and, after a brief build-up of power, threw a punch.

"Samegawara Seiken!" 

A powerful punch struck the air, causing the water in the atmosphere to ripple. Shiryu, taken aback by the force, swiftly dodged the incoming strike.

At this time, Sabo took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, continuously trying to suppress Shiryu.

While Koala kept supporting Sabo from the rear, the pirates led by Burgess quickly closed in, surrounding Koala.

Koala engaged in combat with the pirates, but their efforts had little impact on her.

But during this period, because of the lack of Koala's help, Sabo's situation is getting worse and worse.

Without Sabo's quick thinking, she feared he would be defeated soon.

To deal with the two titanic captains of Blackbeard, this is not an easy task for Sabo on his own.

At this point, the two captains refrained from killing Sabo, and later, Koala managed to resolve the situation by dealing with the supporting pirates.

However, they still couldn't match Burgess and Shiryu of the Rain. Sabo found himself constrained as he needed to protect Koala.

"Koala, I will cover you, you find a chance to retreat first."

Sabo whispered to Koala.

"But then you're alone" 

Koala expressed concern, reluctant to let her run off by herself. How could she not hesitate?

"It's alright, trust me" 

Sabo replied quickly.

Koala realized that her presence here was only a hindrance, but she doubted Sabo could escape on his own.

If the outcome is getting caught, then it's better for them to be captured together.

After much hesitation, Koala chose to trust Sabo, knowing that he could inform their leader first if she left early.

"Well, take care of yourself."

As Koala was about to leave, her intention was noticed by Shiryu of Rain.

"Want to escape? it won't be so simple!" 

Shiryu of Rain appeared in front of Koala like a ghost, blocking her path.

Sabo intended to confront Shiryu of Rain to allow Koala to escape, but Burgess held him back.

Even though Burgess is nearly as strong as Sabo, defeating him is not something that can be done easily.

"Damn it!" 

Sabo felt a bit uneasy. He might be in trouble, but Koala mustn't be harmed.

If something happens, it will be a devastating blow for Sabo.

"Hey, you should stop resisting, otherwise she will get hurt."

Burgess also saw that Sabo was very anxious at this time, so he entangled him even more, and taunting him at the same time.

"Damn it! Ryu no Ibuki!"

Sabo felt a surge of anger. He thrust his sturdy dragon claws into the ground, unleashing a powerful force.

Suddenly, the ground started to crumble, affecting both Burgess and Shiryu of Rain, who tried to halt their escape.

Seizing the chance, Sabo wrapped his arms around Koala's waist, leaped forward, and landed on the roof to make their escape.

"Chase him down, don't let him escape!" 

Shiryu ordered angrily.

They immediately chased after him, and just like that, there were several figures jumping on the roof of Conch Town.

Sabo wanted to go toward the port. Engaging in a sea battle would, at the very least, lessen some of the enemy's advantages.

Furthermore, a crucial factor is that Sabo doesn't want to attract attention from other revolutionary forces. Their involvement would only result in futile deaths.

However, as Sabo neared the port, he also saw the Blackbeard crew halting there, accompanied by some subordinate pirates.

"Stop him!" 

Burgess shouted, and the Blackbeard pirates swiftly responded, surrounding Sabo.

Even though Sabo still held Koala, his skill surpassed what they could handle, swiftly breaking through their encirclement.

However, this also impacted Sabo's time, and he noticed Burgess and Shiryu of Rain drawing nearer and nearer.

Moreover, Sabo's persistent resistance has made Shiryu a little angry.

"Just cut off his feet and don't let him keep running around" 

Shiryu of Rain said bitterly.

"Don't. Just cut off one foot at most" 

Burgess retorted immediately.

Shiryu of Rain, filled with intense anger, charged fiercely at Sabo, attempting to launch a surprise attack from behind.

"Sabo, watch out!"

Nervously, Koala hurriedly reminded Sabo that Shiryu of Rain had raised his katana, Raiu and unleashed a fast blow.

Sabo didn't turn around but sensed the chill, filled with relentless intent to kill.

Shiryu of Rain appeared genuinely intent on killing this time, which Sabo didn't expect.

At this moment they were close to the beach, Koala immediately jumped out of Sabo's arms and used Fishman Jiu-Jitsu.

Koala wanted to use the Samegawara Seiken to counteract Shiryu's attack, but the distance between them was too great for it to take effect.

Sabo coated his arm with Armament Haki, and with the Dragon Claw at the ready, he had no choice but to confront the blow head-on.

Sabo's gaze is serious because he's uncertain if he can withstand the blow.

Nevertheless, he can only give it his best shot.

As Shiryu of Rain's attack was about to land, a voice emerged from the distant sea amidst their fast movement.

"Blackbeard Pirates, here I am!"

A straightforward voice carries boundless strength.

The powerful shockwave erupted from the sound, unleashing fierce force.

This force seems capable of destroying everything, shaking the sea and turning the area upside down.

Simultaneously, Shiryu of Rain's attack was instantly cancelled, and he experienced a powerful shock.

At the same time, a storm swept through in the aftermath of the impact, leaving people in awe of the terrifying force.

"Whitebeard, it's Whitebeard!" 

Burgess, familiar with Whitebeard's voice, recognized it instantly.

Sabo was also impacted by the shock, but fortunately, he emerged unharmed.

The same goes for others. The primary outcome of this sonic attack is to assist Sabo in resisting Shiryu of the Rain's assault.

"It is indeed Whitebeard's voice, but he's not here. What's going on?" 

Shiryu of Rain also started to wonder.

Sabo stood in place, scanning the surroundings. 

Soon, he saw a large ship slowly advancing on the distant sea. Though it appeared as a mere spot in the sea, he couldn't discern any details.

But Sabo can be sure that it should be Whitebeard's ship.
