I, Kizaru, only came to the chat group after I became invincible

Chapter 98: Shanks's determination! Dragon's back-up plan!
The dazzling flash of light flew towards the remnants of the Red Hair Pirates. Even after Whitebeard's death, the Whitebeard Pirates could at least maintain the situation in the New World to a certain extent.

In comparison, the Red Hair Pirates have almost no fixed territory. If it weren't for Shanks, the captain who is dedicated to maintaining balance, the remnants of the Red Hair Pirates who only want revenge would be like time bombs that could explode at any time.

Even though Borsalino didn't think they could do anything, he didn't want to let such a troublesome group of guys continue to live.

"God avoids!"

Fortunately, Shanks stood up again at the critical moment. The wound on his chest was fatal enough for ordinary people, but for a top powerhouse like Shanks, it was only a slightly serious injury.

Two flying slashes of completely opposite colors collided with each other, and black lightning and dazzling flashes bloomed in all directions. The exploding sword pressure was like the most violent storm, suffocating the remnants of the Red Hair Pirates.

"Go! Trust Shanks!"

Ben Beckman gritted his teeth and rushed towards the Red Force. The main force of the navy would catch up soon, and they couldn't hold Shanks back here.

Seeing the remnants of the Red Hair Pirates fleeing from him, Borsalino was not in a hurry, but turned his gaze to Shanks who had a murderous look on his face.

It is said that the most terrifying thing is when an honest person gets angry. Shanks is not an honest person, but when this guy who always smiles gets angry, he can be surprisingly oppressive.

"Do you think it's possible for one person to stop me?"

Borsalino raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the direction where the remnants of the Red Hair Pirates fled, and spoke slowly.

Shanks held up his rapier expressionlessly. He knew that it would be very difficult to stop Borsalino, but now he had a reason to succeed no matter what!

Two domineering auras burst out like volcanic eruptions, and countless black lightnings crackled in the air between the two people.

But if you look closely, you will find that the place where these black lightning appear is obviously closer to Shanks.

Conqueror's Haki is the most special of the three colors of Haki. Unlike Armament Haki and Observation Haki, which can greatly improve combat effectiveness with a rough mastery, the newly awakened Conqueror's Haki can only have a deterrent effect regardless of friend or foe.

However, when the Conqueror's Haki is raised to a certain level, the increase in strength is far beyond the reach of the two-color Haki.

"You can try!"

Shanks said in a deep voice that at this moment he had made up his mind to stop Borsalino at all costs, even if it meant dying on the spot!

Borsalino said nothing when he saw this, but took a decisive step forward.

'boom! ’

Silent thunder seemed to explode in the hearts of everyone in Marinford. An almost violent aura burst out from Shanks' body, rushing straight into the sky and creating a big hole in the dark clouds that had been gathering in the sky.

The domineering aura like a landslide and tsunami pressed towards Borsalino, and the density of the crackling black lightning in the air suddenly increased tenfold, connecting between Borsalino and Shanks and turning into a black "big net".

In an instant, everyone in Marinford, except Shanks and Borsalino, was stunned by the collision of the domineering aura of the two "top powers".

"The red-haired guy is not much worse than Roger... Tsk, Borsalino is really good at hiding. I suddenly want to fight him..."

Vice Admiral Garp was the first to recover from his shocked state. He had been in a state of letting the enemy win since the beginning of the war. At this moment in Marinford, he was definitely the one who maintained the best condition except for Borsalino.

Many pirates even developed unrealistic fantasies because of Garp's "letting the sea go" behavior, and then nothing happened.

Seeing that Ace and Luffy both escaped safely, Vice Admiral Garp, who had been in a depressed mood, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I can only try that. I hope it's still in time..."

The second person to regain consciousness was Dragon. As the war on Marineford was gradually coming to an end, he had to help Whitebeard and the Red Hair Pirates preserve their strength as much as possible.

Then, Marshal Sengoku, Sakaski, Kuzan, Rayleigh and Esdeath gradually regained consciousness. However, the deterrent effect of the Conqueror's Haki on top strong men was limited. Even the time it took Esdeath and Vice Admiral Garp to regain consciousness was only a few breaths apart.

"That red-haired guy is quite capable..."

Feeling the pressure from Shanks, Esdeath's eyes lit up.

Although they haven't officially fought yet, the domineering aura that is so powerful that it can affect reality is enough to prove that Shanks is stronger than her.

Esdeath doesn't mind slaughtering enemies who are weaker than her, but she prefers to fight stronger opponents.

The feeling of facing the pressure of life and death and breaking through oneself in desperate situations can remind her of the tension she felt when she was a child hunting dangerous species on the ice field and she could lose her life if she was not careful.

"It's time to completely destroy the Whitebeard and Red Hair Pirates! Everyone, follow me! For absolute justice!"

Finally, no one who was seeking his own death jumped out to stop him. Seeing that the Whitebeard Pirates were about to withdraw from the port, Akainu shouted loudly without any hesitation.

His goal is to become the Admiral of the Navy and completely eliminate all pirates. Although he has now lost the possibility of becoming the Admiral of the Navy, the opportunity to eliminate two pirate royal groups is right in front of him, and Sakaski will not miss it no matter what.

"Oh! Destroy the pirates!"

"For justice!"

"Kill them all!"

……

The marines who gradually regained consciousness didn't even remember what had just happened. Encouraged by Akainu, they chased after the remnants of the Red Hair Pirates who were fleeing to the port.

This time, there are neither the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates nor the main force of the Red Hair Pirates to block them, so the Marines can finally go all out to destroy the pirates.

"Damn it! It's already the last moment! We can leave soon..."

Kerla, standing on the bow, was so anxious that she almost cried. If it were in the past, she would naturally have no good feelings towards those evil pirates.

But now that we know that Sabo’s two younger brothers are also pirates, that’s a different matter.

Besides, it was Mr. Dragon's decision to cooperate with the Whitebeard Pirates. Plus, Kerala witnessed with her own eyes how the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates were willing to sacrifice themselves in order to cover the Revolutionary Army, so naturally she developed a certain liking for the pirates of these two pirate groups.

"There's nothing to be afraid of! The more critical the situation is, the more we need someone to step forward! Follow me!"

Belo Betty, commander of the Eastern Army of the Revolutionary Army, waved the flag and activated the power of the Inspiration Fruit to boost the morale of the pirates and the Revolutionary Army soldiers. They shouted loudly and charged towards the navy with her.

She wanted to pick up the Red Hair Pirates and leave together. No matter what her original intention was, the Red Hair Pirates did help them a lot.

Otherwise, the Revolutionary Army and the Whitebeard Pirates alone would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Navy.

"Shanks! Beckman! I'm here to save you!"

After receiving a simple treatment, Luffy quickly recovered and was full of energy. He rushed to the front shouting.

Sabo and Ace followed closely behind Luffy. The three brothers who grew up together had vitality comparable to that of cockroaches. They were almost beaten to death at the worst time, but now they are still alive and kicking.

The pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates and the soldiers of the Revolutionary Army followed closely behind the three. Under the encouragement of Belo Betty, even the prisoners in Impel Down mustered up the courage to charge towards the navy.

"Humph! You're courting death! Spitfire!"

Seeing that the pirates not only did not flee in fear, but even dared to take the initiative to become enemies with the navy, especially Ace with the Fire Fist who dared to come to the door, Akainu could not help but grin and punched him from a distance.

The scorching lava poured out from Akainu's right fist like a mountain torrent, ready to cut off the Red Hair Pirates' retreat.

Moreover, the attack range of this punch also includes Luffy and his three brothers as well as the pirates and the revolutionary army rushing in the front.

"Wow ah ah!"

Luffy subconsciously wanted to jump up and punch back, but was pulled down from mid-air by Ace and Sabo.

Even though Shanks seems so powerless in front of Borsalino, if anyone else faced Shanks, they would be chopped into eighteen pieces in minutes.

Although Akainu's strength is slightly inferior to Shanks at this time, he is not an enemy that Luffy, who has just mastered Armament Haki, can fight against.

"What a troublesome guy! Mori!"

Bello Beti bit off the cigarette in his mouth, waved the flag and shouted loudly.

"Coming, coming, coming!"

Before he finished speaking, the ground began to shake. Mori, the commander of the Western Army of the Revolutionary Army, was pushing a super-giant stone ball towards them. The pirates and soldiers of the Revolutionary Army hurriedly got out of the way to let Mori, who was pushing the stone ball, pass.

'boom! ’

All the lava released by Akainu's fist hit the ever-growing stone ball, blasting it into a crescent shape. Broken stones and magma flew everywhere, and the pirates and revolutionary soldiers hiding behind the stone ball were about to suffer.

At the critical moment, a large amount of yellow sand fell from the sky, blocking all the gravel and lava like a sand waterfall. Then the yellow sand gathered again on the top of the broken stone ball and turned into the appearance of Crocodile, the former Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Humph! I saved you again, Straw Hat Boy, this time you owe me..."

Crocodile spoke with a haughty look, but before he could finish his words, Luffy ran over shouting at the remnants of the Red Hair Pirates, making Crocodile so angry that his eyes twitched.

"Beckman! Jesus Bu! Are you okay?"

Luffy looked at the wound on Beckman's right arm anxiously. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he knew very well what a broken arm meant to Beckman.

"Haha, don't worry, it's okay. From now on, I'll give Shanks an arm each. It's just right that I cut it off. I haven't seen you for all these years. You've grown up so much!"

Beckman, with a pale face, forced a smile while holding back the pain. To some extent, Luffy had grown up in their eyes. He was so small at the beginning, but now he could fight alongside them in occasions like the Battle of Marineford.

"Jesus Bu was injured a little bit, but it shouldn't be serious..."

"Wakaka, that little Luffy who used to drink milk has grown old enough to drink!"

"Let's kill those damned marines and avenge everyone, then we can have a party!"

……

The remnants of the Red Hair Pirates had just experienced such a tragic blow, but they did not become depressed or depressed. They were even laughing loudly, as if they did not take the admiral who was chasing them from behind seriously at all.

"You go first, now it's our turn to cover you!"

Ace spoke gratefully, if the Red Hair Pirates had not arrived in time and took the initiative to join the battle, it would not have been so easy for the Whitebeard Pirates to escape.

"Thanks to all of you for taking care of my brother in the past, now let us take care of him!"

Sabo also said sincerely that the Revolutionary Army also owed a favor to the Red Hair Pirates, and even if there was no favor, they were still comrades who had fought side by side.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Before the pirates of the Red Hair Pirates could even speak, Akainu, with lava and black smoke billowing out of his body, had already caught up with them aggressively.

More than a dozen vice admirals of the headquarters and several vice admirals of the giants followed closely behind. It seemed that they wanted to keep the remnants of the two major pirate groups and the Revolutionary Army in Marinford.

"Saab!"

Ace shouted and turned into a blazing flame and pounced on Akainu. Although Sabo had been missing for a long time and even lost his memory and forgot about Ace and Luffy, the three brothers met again after many years. Ace only called out to Sabo and he guessed what he was thinking.

"Save the people first! Don't worry about Ace!"

Sabo directly held Luffy down. Their purpose was to cover the retreat of the Red Hair Pirates, not to fight to the death with Akainu.

As a natural devil fruit user, as long as Ace takes care to protect himself, he can delay the enemy for a while even if it is Akainu.

"You're looking for death! Just die with that loser Whitebeard!"

Facing the oncoming fire, Akainu's face was full of disdain.

"You are not allowed to insult daddy!"

Ace's angry face appeared in the flames, and he was determined to fight Akainu head-on regardless of the difference in strength.

Akainu showed a flash of joy on his face when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that at the last moment, Ace with the Fire Fist would come to him on his own initiative.

Although he had given up the fight for the naval marshal position, there was no reason for him to let go of the credit that had fallen from the sky.

"Roger's sinful bloodline must end here! Hellhound!"

Akainu punched through the raging flames that were rushing towards him, but what he didn't expect was that Ace was not prepared to fight him head-on, and transformed into an element in advance, avoiding Akainu's inevitable blow.

"fire punch!"

The scattered flames quickly condensed into the shape of Ace in mid-air, and then he used his signature moves to blast the headquarters lieutenant generals and giant lieutenant generals who were chasing him.

The flames surged like a wave, and the lieutenants of the headquarters either swung their swords or used their fists to disperse the flames, but this also slowed down Ace's steps.

"Cover Ace!"

Beckman shouted loudly while enduring the severe pain from his wound. He had dealt with the Red Hair Pirates long before Ace entered the New World. Because of Luffy as the middleman, the Red Hair Pirates had a very close relationship with Ace.

'Bang bang bang bang bang bang...'

A series of gunshots rang out, and even Beckman, whose right arm was broken, forced himself to shoot with his left hand.

Although they were missing two top snipers, Jesus Bu and Lucky Lu, and Beckman's strength was greatly reduced due to the loss of one hand, the Red Hair Pirates had a very strong foundation, and even with seven or eight first-class snipers firing at the same time, Akainu still felt quite threatened.

"What a bunch of troublesome guys!"

A large amount of lava was released to swallow all the bullets, and Akainu's face was very gloomy.

At this time, he had already realized that there was no way to kill Fire Fist Ace without getting rid of those troublesome snipers of the Red Hair Pirates.

If it were anyone else, they might be at a loss at this moment, but Akainu worked his way up from the grassroots level to the position of admiral of the navy, relying not only on his powerful strength.

"That rascal……"

Beckman was still on guard against Akainu's sudden attack, but he didn't expect that Akainu, who was under their concentrated fire, just glanced at Ace and then rushed towards the port of Marinford at an astonishing speed using the Moon Step.

Since we can't eliminate these damn pirates in a short time, let's cut off their retreat completely!
Sink all the ships of the Moby Dick, Red Force, Winter Granma and many other pirate groups under Whitebeard, and these guys will be trapped!

Of course, there are risks in doing so. If the pirates have nowhere to escape, they are likely to fight back desperately, causing heavy casualties to the navy.

Especially the three top masters, Dragon, Rayleigh and Shanks. Even when Shanks was injured by Borsalino, it would cost a heavy price to take them down.

However, in Akainu's opinion, all this was worth it. The main forces of the two major pirate groups and the Revolutionary Army were all destroyed in Marinford, and there was no longer any existence on the sea that could compete with the navy.

"Oh no! Stop him! He's going to dismantle the ship!"

Beckman was stunned for just a moment before his face changed drastically and he shouted loudly regardless of his injuries.

With Akainu's strength, if he were given a few minutes at most, he would be able to send dozens of pirate ships of all sizes to the bottom of the sea.

"what?!"

"Stop him quickly!"

"Damn it! This guy runs so fast!"

……

The panicked pirates and soldiers of the Revolutionary Army tried to catch up with Akainu, but their speed was far inferior to Akainu's, and they could only watch Akainu fly over the only surviving ship, the Moby Dick.

This was the last ship of the same type as the Moby Dick left at this time, and on board were hundreds of pirates from the Whitebeard Pirates, most of whom were seriously injured and unable to fight again, including seven or eight captains of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Buried in the abyss of fire and lava! Lava Cascade!"

Akainu spoke with a grin, ignoring the existence of Whitebeard. At this time, the wounded on the Moby Dick were almost half of the elite of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Those who have been able to persist in fighting and survive to this day are, without exception, the strongest elite pirates and captains.

But now they are all going to be buried in the sea under Akainu's attack. If we don't take into account Whitebeard who died at the hands of Borsalino, just considering the quality of the enemies destroyed, Akainu's record of this attack is enough to rival all the achievements of the 100,000 navy forces fighting so far.

"I'm going to die... I really can't accept this!"

"Asshole Akainu! Come down if you can!"

"Damn it! I was almost escaping..."

……

If it were their heyday, the pirates on the ship would have had the capital to fight Akainu, but now even the least injured among them only had the energy to curse.

Those who can still move have gone to support the Red Hair Pirates, and those who remain are basically seriously injured and have no fighting ability.

"Huh, I'm finally going to die..."

Covered in wounds, Vista barely stretched out his hands, trying to pick up his double swords and fight to the last moment.

Unfortunately, he was injured too badly. He could barely hold the handle of the knife but had no strength to swing it. He could only watch the hot lava waterfall falling from the sky.

However, at the critical moment when the Moby Dick was about to be submerged by magma, a green figure rushed over at an astonishing speed.

"Super-sized Undead Thistle!"

The blue flames expanded rapidly between the Moby Dick and the lava waterfall, turning into an ultra-giant barrier that blocked all the rolling lava.

"Malco!"

The captain of the Eighth Division, Namur, shouted in surprise and joy, until all the lava was sent into the sea, and then Marco, who had transformed into a phoenix, appeared in the blue flames.

"If you want to hurt my companions, you have to step over my dead body first!"

Marco opened his dead eyes and spoke. It was a passionate declaration, but it sounded a bit lazy when it came out of his mouth.

"You've come just in time! Then I'll die here with you! Dog Devouring Red Lotus!"

Perhaps because he had experienced too many troublemakers, even a guy as cold-tempered as Akainu was a little numb. When he saw Marco appear, the expression on Akainu's face didn't even change much, and he started fighting without hesitation.

Seeing that Marco arrived in time to stop Akainu, Dragon, who was unable to escape Aokiji's entanglement, also breathed a sigh of relief.

I have to say that Akainu is really good at seizing opportunities, and he almost hit the pirates and the Revolutionary Army's weak spots.

Even if all of Marinford's 100,000 marines were wiped out, as long as most of the high-ranking naval officers headed by the three admirals could survive, it would only be a serious blow to the navy. They could draw troops from the naval branches in the four seas and the Grand Line at any time to rebuild the naval headquarters.

At most, a few more large-scale conscriptions around the world would be enough to replenish the lost troops.

But if the main forces of the two great pirate groups and the Revolutionary Army were annihilated, even if the Beasts and Big Mom Pirates joined forces, they would not be able to resist the navy that was entering the New World in large numbers.

Once the New World is pacified by the navy, the rule of the World Government may continue for several hundred years.

"No matter what tricks you have up your sleeve, you will never escape from Marinford unscathed!"

Aokiji shouted at Dragon in a low voice while fighting. Dragon, who used to be slightly inferior to him in terms of qualifications and strength, is now slightly stronger than him.

However, Aokiji has a clear idea of ​​his position. What he needs to do is to hold Dragon back and not give this guy any time to plot any conspiracy.

Even without a 'prophet' like Borsalino, Kuzan still instinctively realized that a series of accidents occurred during the war at the top, at least most of them were related to Dragon.

Including but not limited to the horrible bomb that exploded offshore, pure gold, Pluto Rayleigh, and even the arrival of Shanks was regarded by Kuzan as a conspiracy of Dragon.

"Not always……"

Dorag suddenly chuckled and opened his palms towards the sky. Strong winds blew in from all directions, making it impossible for the people on the battlefield to open their eyes.

Aokiji subconsciously wanted to stop it, but suddenly realized something. He raised his head and looked at the sky, and saw a strange little sky island that had floated over Marinford at some point, with a group of strangely dressed guys on it doing something unknown.

"Hurry up! Mr. Dorag has already started!"

The white-bearded old man wearing a wizard-like robe and pointed hat kept urging them. At the beginning, the small sky island Visalia was almost destroyed by their research accident. Fortunately, in the end, Dragon not only saved them, but also preserved the small sky island Visalia and their research results.

Mr. Dorag needs their help now, they can't let them down at this time!

With the joint efforts of Dragon and meteorologists on the small sky island Visalia, a super-giant tornado gradually appeared and took shape, enveloping the entire Marinford.

The wind force of the giant tornado itself is not too strong, especially in Marinford, which is the eye of the storm and can hardly feel much pressure.

However, if you are far enough away from Marinford, you will find that a large number of clouds are gathering over Marinford at an alarming speed, as if they were "sucked" by something.

It transformed into a super-large cumulonimbus cloud, covering the sky of Marinford.

"What are you going to do?!"

Aokiji's face changed slightly. The most terrifying things on the sea have never been the navy or pirates, let alone the sea kings.

During its heyday, the Flying Pirates had hundreds of large ships and a force unmatched in the ocean, even able to compete with the Marine Headquarters.

As a result, they encountered an unprecedented storm in the Battle of Et-Wall, which almost wiped out the entire army and also made the Roger Pirates successful.

Seeing a super-giant cumulonimbus cloud appear in the sky above Marinford, the experienced Aokiji's first thought was that Dragon wanted to replicate the miracle of the Battle of Et-Wol.

Although Marinford itself is a maritime fortress, there is no shortage of countries destroyed by storms in the navy's records.

Everyone is equal in the face of natural disasters, even the navy is no exception!

"What's going on? Why has it suddenly become so dark?"

"Damn it! What a strong wind!"

"What's that in the sky?!"

……

The marines had not yet realized what was happening and were looking around in panic, not even caring about the orders from their superiors to hunt down the pirates and the Revolutionary Army.

For these people who have been wandering on the sea all year round, the horror of a storm is far beyond the imagination of people living inland. Even though they are on land now, they instinctively begin to feel uneasy.

"Wind force ten... eleven, twelve! Damn it! Take me down quickly!"

Nami, hiding in the sentry tower, stretched out her fingers to feel the wind outside the window. Perhaps it was her natural talent as a navigator, she could accurately judge the wind strength with her own senses.

However, this time the strong wind was obviously not naturally generated. Not only did it appear extremely suddenly, but the wind level also increased at an astonishing speed!

"Do you need me? Okay! No problem!"

Baby-5 spoke happily, then picked up Nami and jumped down from the sentry tower.

For a moment, Nami thought that this woman wanted to drag her to death with her, and she almost cried out of fright.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Baby-5's lower body turned into a rocket launcher, spraying out a large amount of flames when reaching the ground, offsetting the speed when landing.

"Ah... What a strong wind! Go find Mr. Borsalino! Tell him that an unprecedented storm is coming soon! The maximum wind speed may exceed level 17!"

When Nami got off baby-5, she was almost blown away by the strong wind. Fortunately, baby-5 pulled her at the critical moment.

"Woo, woo, woo, am I needed again? Great, I'll go find Mr. Borsalino right away!"

Baby-5 spoke happily, and then without waiting for Nami to explain clearly, he let go like a Husky that had escaped from its collar.

"Damn it, if I had brought that weather machine made by Dr. Vegapunk..."

Nami could only look for a suitable place to shelter from the storm in the face of strong winds. Fortunately, such a place was not difficult to find in Marinford, and she soon hid in a permanent fortification-level artillery position.

On the other side, after leaving Nami, Baby-5 first ran towards the direction where Borsalino and Red-haired Shanks were fighting, but after only a few steps, he was blown back by the increasing strong wind.

He simply transformed himself into a rocket and took off on the spot, and only then did he manage to fly past against the strong wind.

"Clang clang clang clang..."

Because the sky was blocked by cumulonimbus clouds, the entire Marinford was plunged into darkness, and Baby-5's field of vision was compressed to the extreme, and she couldn't even see where Borsalino was.

Fortunately, the noise of the battle between the two top powers was too shocking, and from time to time there were flying slashes and sword pressures more shocking than a storm that suddenly attacked.

If it were anyone else, most people wouldn't dare to get close to it. Only a stubborn guy like baby-5 would bite the bullet and fly over.

"Mr. Borsalino! Nami-chan asked me to tell you that there's going to be a storm! An unprecedented storm!"

When Baby-5 could barely see Borsalino's figure, she couldn't wait to shout loudly.

She really didn't dare to go forward, for fear that a flying slash would come over and cut her in two.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a flash of light, and Baby-5 found herself restored to human form and being picked up by Borsalino.

No one knew why, but the strong wind that could almost blow down the city wall disappeared around Borsalino. From time to time, debris and even bricks and stones were blown over by the wind, but they were blocked several meters away from Borsalino.

It was as if there was an invisible barrier surrounding Borsalino, blocking out anything that was bad for him.
