How can I become the Pirate King if you don’t work hard?.

Chapter 384 The Last Dance!
Although he couldn't help but complain in his heart, he couldn't say anything more serious, nor could he say it.

After Zephyr left, Garp's prestige within the Navy plummeted.

If Garp also runs into trouble, the Navy will collapse on its own, without needing any external enemies.

"Facing us all at once, you won't have time to be distracted!"

"Axe Heaven Music!"

Jabba lunged forward, his twin axes imbued with Conqueror's Haki, and slashed at Sengoku!
Even a modern-day naval admiral couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine from their fierce aura. Although he was extremely anxious, once these two got entangled, no one could escape!

Sengoku had no choice but to abandon his plan to pursue Straw Hat and instead throw a punch to deal with the slash from his opponent.

For a while.

Below the execution platform, three figures clashed. The impact of the Buddha statue and the scattered energy of the swords and axes made the situation even more chaotic!
Things had developed to this point and were completely out of the control of the Warring States period.

Sengoku had already secretly sought help from Mary Geoise, but received no response, which intensified his existing unease.

However, they could not shake off their opponent and had no choice but to fight with all their might!

But those watching the battle fell into a long silence, followed by a stir!
"Fire Fist is free!"

"It wasn't just Whitebeard; all the remnants of Roger's pirate crew interfered in the execution of Roger's son?!"

"Even the entire navy cannot stop the continuation of this evil bloodline. Is this world destined for destruction?!"

"Damn pirates!"

"Damn it, it's not just pirates anymore!"

"You're crazy! Some words, once spoken, can't be taken back. If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"

"Am I wrong? I..."

……

Malinvando.

Gawain glanced at everything happening below the execution platform, then turned to see the white-bearded man, who had lost all will to fight.

He then realized that Whitebeard might have intended to keep him there.

After all, if other people on the battlefield were to take action, the White Team leader and his allies might have some resistance, but if Gawain were to take action, Marco and his ilk would be no different from the other small fry on the battlefield.

"Boring."

Gawain pursed his lips, sheathed his sword, and had no more interest in getting entangled with Whitebeard.

He wasn't particularly interested in whether Whitebeard's crew could successfully storm the execution ground.

However, if the Whitebeard Pirates can continue to exist, it may not be a bad thing for either him or the sea.

Unlike tyrants like Big Mom and Kaido, or hands-off managers like Shanks and Straw Hats.

The common people under Whitebeard's rule were still able to make a living. Apart from his formidable strength, this man still possessed a remnant of benevolence and conscience compared to other pirates of this era.

This is evident from the fact that he used all his money to build his hometown Sphinx, to the point that he could only afford to drink wine with Margo.

"Hula la la la la la~!"

"I regret that I couldn't give you a good time, but I have more important things to do now."

“I’m really looking forward to it~”

"How wonderful the era would have been with a monster like you? It's a pity I probably won't live to see it."

Seeing this, the white-bearded man's lips curled up, his eyes filled with a resolute determination that left no way out.

"I am a remnant of the old world, and there is no ship in the new era that can carry me!"

Say it.

Whitebeard turned around and charged towards the marines in the distance. With just one punch, he cleared out the marines and blasted a path for the Whitebeard Pirates to survive!
"Everyone retreat!"

As Gawain gazed at the white-bearded man's retreating figure, he instantly understood what the man intended to do, and a sense of respect arose in his heart.

Regardless of strength, Whitebeard truly deserves the title of the world's strongest in terms of sheer spirit.

This man is comparable to the Pirate King Roger in more ways than just strength.

Their strategy, vision, and ambition are all top-notch in the world!
"Um?!"

A familiar yet unfamiliar aura appeared in Gao Wen's peripheral vision.

He turned his head, and a golden light rushed towards him, carrying undisguised killing intent!
"Sashi ignores me~"

"Knight Gawain!"

A deep, hoarse voice exploded in Gao Wen's ears. He instinctively drew his sword to block the attacker's attack and saw a familiar face appear before him!
"Crocodile?!"

Before Gawain stood Crocodile, who had been defeated by him two years ago and imprisoned in Impel Down by Kizaru.

This is almost identical to the original timeline, but what truly surprised Gawain was Crocodile's undisguised charisma!

"Conqueror's Haki?!"

"what."

Crocodile retreated immediately upon contact, responding with a lukewarm reply.

His eyes held a hint of smugness, and an unprecedented arrogance!
"This is all thanks to you."

"If it weren't for that crushing defeat, I would never have realized that I had already gone down the wrong path."

"External forces are ultimately illusory; only one's own strength is eternal!"

"This power was naturally guided out!"

Looking at Crocodile, who exuded an overwhelming aura and whose combat power had already reached the threshold of the Emperor level, Gawain realized that this sea had changed a lot because of his arrival.

The Straw Hat crew had almost completely disappeared, leaving only Usopp and Brook as familiar faces; the rest were all unfamiliar.

More importantly, Crocodile and his ilk have embarked on a completely different path.

Gawain glanced around and saw a group of Impel Down Level 6 prisoners standing behind Crocodile, including some who were originally Blackbeard's crew members in the original timeline.

"An alliance?!"

Gao Wen was somewhat surprised, yet it also seemed reasonable.

obviously.

The Minotaur wasn't alone; Crocodile wasn't a good guy either, he recruited a group of people from Impel Down, including Blackbeard's former crew!

In the original timeline, Crocodile was also imprisoned in Impel Down.

However, firstly, the time was too short, only a few months, which was not enough for him to make plans. Secondly, although his own strength had improved, he was clearly not strong enough to command respect in the sixth level of Impel Down.

Therefore, they cannot form alliances or counter-alliances.

But this life is clearly different. Crocodile, who has reached the level of a general, is already strong enough to suppress these serious criminals, plus his innate ability to cause trouble...

It's hard to say what kind of trouble might happen next.

Gao Wen revealed an expression of great interest, holding his knife in one hand, facing off against the crowd in front of him:

"Then let me see just how good you really are!"

"You'll see!"

Accompanied by sound.

A cloud of yellow sand rose up in the air, like countless tiny blades, instantly eroding the surrounding glaciers and engulfing Gawain in the distance with terrifying force!

Clearly, in the past two years, Crocodile has not only grown in terms of Haki, but his ability to develop and utilize his power has also reached a new level!
This is not a change in intensity, but a difference in operational approach!

"It worked?!" Wakatsuki Hunter Katrin Demi's face lit up with joy.

Crocodile, standing to the side, became even more serious:

"How can it be?!"

"That was... a monster who defeated Whitebeard head-on!"

"Two years have passed, and this guy has become so powerful that he's reached another dimension. How could he be killed so easily?"

"Next..."

"escape!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, thinking they had misheard. When they turned to look at Crocodile, they found that he had already retreated rapidly.

Without even the slightest hesitation!
As everyone was stunned and bewildered, an extremely intense and suffocating sense of oppression came from the distant sandstorm.

"That sounds impressive, but..."

"If you don't let me have my fill, you won't get away so easily!"

laugh--!
The silver-white blade ripped through the sand and dust, swept across the glacier, and severed the corpses of countless pirates, including even hardened criminals from the sixth level of Impel Down!

Those who managed to dodge the attack felt a chill run down their spines!
"Who...who exactly is this guy?!"

"Has this kind of monster been born again on this sea after all these years?!"

"Damn damn it!"

……

Panic-stricken curses spread from the crowd, but their will to survive made them instinctively take steps!

One step too slow... and you'll die!

Gawain, like a cat playing with a mouse, followed behind the group of hardened criminals from Infinite Hell at a leisurely pace, just to pass the time.

On this battlefield now, the only thing that catches his eye is Whitebeard, who has returned to his peak.

……

……

……

On the other side of the battlefield.

Akainu's expression suddenly darkened as he watched Ace escape.

Kuzan!
"If we allow Portgas D. Ace to be rescued in front of the whole world, the Navy's prestige will be ruined, and global unrest will intensify!"

"The strategy formulated by the Warring States Marshal at the beginning of the great war will not only fail to achieve its goal, but will also have the opposite effect. The world will be thrown into turmoil as a result, and the already precarious order may even collapse completely!"

Akainu's expression was cold and hard, and his voice suppressed a volcanic eruption of rage:

Don't dwell on past feelings!

"Neither Straw Hat Luffy nor Fire Fist Ace can leave Marineford today!"

Qingzhi raised his hand and removed the blindfold from his forehead, revealing a pair of equally determined eyes:

"it is good!"

The two attacked simultaneously in the next instant, heading straight for the fleeing Straw Hat crew!
"Ice Age!"

The chill spread along the ground, freezing everything around it, and countless pirates who couldn't react in time were instantly frozen into ice sculptures.

Without holding back, Aokiji instantly displayed the Ice-Ice Fruit's unparalleled ability to control the battlefield, giving him a unique advantage in battles at sea!
Even the Straw Hat brothers in the distance were being blocked by Aokiji's attacks!
"Pluto!"

Lava flowed from Akainu's shoulders like the River Styx, from which condensed lava hounds that lunged at the Straw Hat brothers!

The boiling lava spread an exaggeratedly high temperature, scorching everything around it. The Straw Hat brothers, located at the center of the attack, were in grave danger as they were crushed by countless lava hounds!
Enraged, Akainu attacked without holding back, his frenzied aura making everyone breathless!

Marco, who arrived to help, blocked Aokiji's fist, but ultimately he was powerless to stop another admiral, and could only watch as Aokiji charged toward Ace.

Redfield was also blocked by Kizaru, and the golden lightsaber and the crimson umbrella sword collided in mid-air, scattering countless sparks.

when!
when!
when!
The sounds of impact in the void continued unabated.

Redfield is undoubtedly powerful, but firstly, Kizaru is also an admiral-level strongman, and secondly, he is getting old and his body is not as good as before, so he is unable to support Fire Fist and the other two in a short time.

Seeing the situation deteriorate rapidly, Marco was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do!

"I take your life!"

Akainu's body was burning hot, but his expression was as cold as ice, and his eyes were filled with a resolute determination to destroy everything in front of him!

"The most evil bloodline must not continue. Roger's era will come to an end here!"

"Pluto!"

A jab punch, delivered in an instant, hurtled towards Fire Fist Ace!

As the superior version of the Flame-Flame Fruit, the Magma-Magma Fruit naturally has a strong suppressive effect on it, not to mention that Akainu's basic combat strength is far above that of Fire Fist Ace!

Such an opponent could be sent to the deepest hell with just one punch!
just.

At that very moment, a frenzied killing intent surged from behind Akainu. His vision went black, and his hand movements abruptly stopped. He turned around with difficulty and saw Whitebeard's ferocious shockwave fist!

boom--!
A muffled thud exploded above Akainu's head, the violent shockwave piercing through his body, tearing apart the surrounding atmosphere, and causing the glacier to crack like fish scales!

Akainu was blasted directly into the buildings of Marineford by this attack.

call--!
The clouds danced lightly, dispersing the surrounding chill.

Whitebeard, holding a sword in one hand, stood in front of the Straw Hats, facing the approaching Marines from afar!
Although he was only one person, his aura overwhelmed tens of thousands of marines!
The naval officers and soldiers stopped in their tracks, instinctively feeling fear.

Only now did they truly understand how terrifying it was to face the world's strongest opponent.

Trembling legs, an ungripable knife, and death images flashing through my mind...

Some people suffered a mental breakdown, dropped their weapons, and fled.

The people around didn't find anything strange about it.

It was simply because the man they were facing had reached an inhuman level!
"I can't let you lay a hand on my son."

"Gola la la la la la—!"

One man can hold the pass.

His white-bearded face showed only calmness and composure.

Seeing that everyone was standing still, he simply went to meet them, blocking the entire navy by himself!
"Don't panic!"

"Whitebeard is already terminally ill; he won't last much longer!"

Akainu's cold, hard voice rang out. He was covered in blood, clearly badly injured by Whitebeard, but he didn't linger for even a second before returning to the battlefield.

This battle situation is extremely unfavorable for the navy. If they hold back at this point, the overall situation will completely collapse.

Aokiji and Kizaru, who also understood this, freed up their hands to stand shoulder to shoulder with Akainu and face the world's strongest.

But this is by no means an unfair battle!
Quite the opposite.

To be able to have the three admirals, the strongest forces in the navy, join forces is an unparalleled honor, a medal that hangs on the chest of the strongest!

"We will definitely win this battle!"

As Akainu's resolute voice fell, the three admirals, leading an endless stream of marines behind them, attacked simultaneously!

Lava, flashes of light, and freezing air spread like a natural disaster, only to be torn apart by Whitebeard's shockwave punch!
