Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

Page 256

"Absolutely impossible! Fire Fist Ace and the Whitebeard Pirates will both die here."

"That's right! Our navy is the epitome of justice, how could we possibly lose to pirates!"

"Are you underestimating our Navy, Red-Haired Shanks!"

The bloodthirsty naval officer shouted at Shanks.

Shanks ignored these words and looked domineeringly at Sengoku and Garp in the distance: "If we continue fighting, the Whitebeard Pirates and Ace may indeed be left here, but the price may be that Marineford and the remaining elite Marines are all buried here."

"Sengoku, even at such a cost, do you still intend to continue this war?"

The Sengoku, transformed into a golden Buddha, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and looked hesitant and struggling.

"Hahaha, the war has stopped? Don't be ridiculous."

Blackbeard, who was in the dark realm, laughed wildly, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"Fellow Marines, Whitebeard is nearing the end of his life. Once he dies, what threat will the Whitebeard Pirates pose?! Victory for the Marines is within reach!"

"Are you really willing to admit defeat like this? Are the Navy, who uphold justice, going to obey Shanks' orders and choose to surrender to the Whitebeard Pirates?! Hahaha, this is really hilarious."

Upon hearing Blackbeard's words, Shanks frowned slightly, a murderous intent surging within him.

"Blackbeard..."

The Navy crew was influenced by Blackbeard's words.

"That's right, we are the Navy, representing absolute justice on the high seas, how could we possibly admit defeat to pirates!"

"Even if it means death, we will annihilate the entire Whitebeard Pirates!!"

"Never admit defeat!"

"Kill them!"

……

Many of the naval officers cloaked in the guise of justice were also hawks who believed in absolute justice. They would never compromise or admit defeat to pirates, even if it meant death. Amid their roars, the eyes of the surrounding elite naval personnel gleamed with a beastly red light as they gripped their weapons and stared intently at the Whitebeard Pirates.

"The oil has run out and the lamp is extinguished? Gurgling."

Covered in blood, with a gaping hole in his chest, the white-bearded man held a dagger and stared at the black-bearded man before him, his bloodshot eyes filled with murderous intent: "If you dare to kill me, then try it, Teach!"

"Hahaha, Dad, you should just die peacefully!"

Blackbeard laughed loudly and slapped Whitebeard with his palm.

Whitebeard unleashed a powerful punch, his muscles bulging, sending a massive shockwave blasting away large groups of Marines. The punch, delivered with a vengeance to Blackbeard's crew, sent them flying.

“It hurts so much, it hurts so much!”

Blackbeard, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, felt the intense pain from the shockwave impacting his body. A glint of extreme greed flashed in his eyes as he looked at Whitebeard.

"Wow, it's really strong... The Tremor-Tremor Fruit!"

"I must get it!"

As Whitebeard and Blackbeard clashed, Kaido, now in human form, emerged from the crater created by the dragon Kaido, carrying a spiked club, amidst the fearful and terrified gazes of the surrounding Marines.

He looked at Shanks, who was standing not far away, and laughed, "Looks like you don't have enough influence, Shanks."

Red-Haired Shanks stared at him coldly: "Kaido, are you going to interfere too?"

"Of course! Need I say more?"

Kaido grinned and said, "For such a top-level war, I came all the way from Wano Country. How can I not turn the world upside down?"

Red-haired Shanks narrowed his eyes and slowly drew the longsword 'Griffin' from his waist with his only remaining right arm. In an instant, a terrifyingly powerful Conqueror's Haki emanated from his body, spreading throughout Marineford and the surrounding thousand miles of sea.

Under the influence of Conqueror's Haki, time seemed to slow down in Marineford. Whether it was the seasoned Whitebeard Pirates or the battle-hardened Marine elites, they all instantly lost consciousness under the impact of that Conqueror's Haki.

Under the impact of that Conqueror's Haki, a huge crack appeared in the dark clouds in the sky, and cracks appeared on the ground.

It is truly astonishing that the power of the spiritual realm could influence reality.

"Is it redheads?"

The white-bearded man turned his head to look.

"Has this domineering aura become even stronger than before, Shanks?"

Blackbeard stared at the red-haired man, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

Sengoku gritted his teeth, staring intently at the red-haired man.

Compared to Kaido, Shanks is more feared by him.

"The advanced level of the third stage of Conqueror's Haki, huh..."

Ron, suspended in mid-air, sensed the Conqueror's Haki and looked at Shanks with a smile, saying, "As expected of the most domineering man in the world."

If Ron's current Conqueror's Haki is level 7, then Shanks' is level 9.

Under the utterly shocked gazes of the elite naval forces and the Whitebeard Pirates.

With his remaining right arm, Shanks drew the longsword 'Griffin' from his waist and declared domineeringly, "If anyone wants to continue this war, let us be their opponents."

The entire room fell silent.

If someone said something like that in front of the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates, they would probably be ridiculed.

But if it's said by Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, then it carries a different weight.

Even the navy of the maritime hegemon has to be wary of it.

now.

Everyone in Marineford stopped fighting and looked at Shanks, who was holding a sword in one hand and exuding domineering aura, as well as Ben Beckman, who was holding a silver spear, and the other members of the Red-Haired Pirates who had raised their weapons.

The oppressive aura emanating from them was even stronger than that of the Whitebeard Pirates' First Division.

"Red-Haired Shanks, are you going to side with Whitebeard?"

Sengoku stared intently at the red-haired man and spoke.

"No, I am not on either side; I am only here to end this war."

Sengoku gritted his teeth and said angrily, "How can it end like this!"

"That's right! The war has only just begun, how can it end like this?" Kaido laughed wildly. "Red-Haired Shanks, come and fight too! Let's utterly destroy Marineford, make these troublesome Marines disappear from this world, and turn this world upside down!"

222, the end of an era

"Wahaha wahaha".

Blackbeard burst into unrestrained laughter.

Kaido's appearance was unexpected, but now it seems it came at just the right time.

Sengoku's navy, Kaido, and Blackbeard all want to continue the war, and the three sides are on a united front.

The Whitebeard Pirates, who successfully rescued Ace, and the Red-Haired Pirates, who came to stop the war from continuing, both wanted to end the conflict.

The two are on the same side.

And now, what can determine the overall situation is...

Red-haired Shanks looked at the tall figure in the sky and shouted, "Ron the Traveler, what is your opinion? Should we continue this war, or end it here?!"

In an instant!

Everyone on the battlefield who was conscious, as well as the entire world in front of the video Den Den Mushi screen, all turned their attention to that figure.

His decision concerns the course of this war, and the course of the world.

With everyone watching.

Ron, dressed in black with a blood-red sword hanging at his waist, reached out and gripped the hilt of the sword. He swung the sword downwards, and a blood-red slash thousands of meters long landed on the plaza, cutting a straight and bottomless rift between the elite Marines led by Aokiji and the Whitebeard Pirates led by Jozu, almost splitting the entire plaza in two.

"Let's end this war here."

Upon hearing his words, most people, including Sengoku, were taken aback.

This guy, who openly declared war on the World Government and the Navy and is even more insane than Kaido, actually managed to stop this war?!

"You're the one who killed the old man, and now you're saying you want a ceasefire? You bastard... are you kidding me?!"

Sentomaru, his face covered in blood, roared furiously at Ron in the air.

Ron glanced down at him condescendingly: "Kizaru's subordinate, huh... If you want to avenge Kizaru, I can give you a chance."

"asshole!"

Sentomaru grabbed the axe, stomped his foot, and leaped high into the air towards Ron.

A brilliant light flashed in Ron's azure eyes.

A repulsive force propelled Sentomaru, who had jumped up, back to the ground at an even greater speed.

Lying in the deep pit on the ground, Sentomaru, whose bones were broken and who could hardly move, looked at the figure in the sky that was as high as a god, his eyes filled with resentment.

"hateful!!!"

Under the watchful and solemn gaze of most people.

Ron raised his hand.
