Chapter 328 The war is over
"If you haven't fought enough."

Shanks, with a calm expression, slowly drew the Griffin from his waist. The sword gleamed with a cold light in the sunlight. He looked at the navy opposite with a determined gaze and said loudly, "We are here to keep you company."

As soon as the voice fell, the members of the Red Hair Pirates lined up neatly on both sides of Shanks, as if they would not hesitate to start a big battle with the navy as long as Shanks gave the order.

"Within the Kawawa, Red Hair Shanks." Kizaru stood aside, with a half-smile on his face, saying sarcastically, "Do you want to do it, Sakaski?"

As he spoke, he looked at Akainu, his eyes seemed to be waiting for a good show, and he didn't take the tense situation in front of him seriously at all.

"Humph."

Akainu snorted coldly. Although he had been seriously injured in the previous battle with Whitebeard, his disgust for pirates and his own tough character made him have no intention of retreating at all.

He clenched his fists, and the magma power that had not yet dissipated in his body began to surge again. It seemed that as long as no one stopped him, he would attack the Red Hair Pirates regardless of the consequences.

At this critical moment, "Stop!" Zhan Guo rushed forward, stretched out his hand to stop Akainu, and shouted: "The war is over."

He knew very well that the current situation of the navy was not suitable for going to war with the Red Hair Pirates. If a war really broke out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Akainu was very dissatisfied when he heard this. He frowned and was about to retort when he heard Zhan Guo say, "I am the Admiral of the Navy."

This simple sentence immediately left Akainu speechless. After all, in the navy's system, the marshal's orders could not be disobeyed. Even if he was unwilling in his heart, he could only swallow his anger temporarily.

The battle with the Whitebeard Pirates has exhausted the navy. Many soldiers were killed or wounded, and the remaining ones are exhausted. Everyone has long lost the desire to fight and now only hopes that this dispute can end quickly.

"I will bear all the consequences."

Sengoku said seriously that the navy's plan against the Whitebeard Pirates could be said to have failed, and someone had to stand up and take responsibility.

Anyway, he was planning to retire, so he might as well take all the responsibilities on himself. It could be regarded as the last thing he did for the next marshal. He hoped that this would stabilize the situation of the navy and allow the navy to recover as soon as possible.

"Count me in, I'm also responsible this time."

Garp said with guilt on the side, he knew very well that if he had not been soft-hearted on the battlefield and let Ace and Luffy go, they would never have been able to escape.

He felt that as a navy officer, he had done such a thing and had lost his qualifications as a navy officer, so he wanted to take on this responsibility together with Zhan Guo.

Zhan Guo looked at his old friend, and finally just sighed deeply and said, "It's up to you."

He knew Garp's temper. Once a decision was made, it would be difficult for others to change it. Garp did have a responsibility, so they should shoulder it together.

"The war is over!"

Zhan Guo raised his voice and announced loudly to the whole audience.

Hearing this, some naval soldiers couldn't help but shed tears. It was the emotion of surviving the disaster and the relief that they no longer had to fight. They hugged each other and celebrated their survival. The battlefield, which was originally filled with smoke and tension, now had a mixed atmosphere of sadness and joy.

Seeing this, Shanks secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he was not willing to fight the navy at this time. His position has always been vague, not like a simple pirate. Perhaps this is related to his special identity.

At this time, Shanks's gaze shifted to Weiss, and his familiar nature came up again. With a warm smile on his face, he invited Weiss: "Nice to meet you. Would you like to have a drink together?" He was very interested in Weiss and thought it would be interesting to have a drink and chat together.

Weiss just looked at him indifferently and did not accept the invitation. Then, he flashed and teleported away, leaving Shanks standing there in astonishment.

"Haha, the boss is being ignored again."

When the crew members of the Red Hair Pirates saw this scene, they couldn't help but burst into laughter. They would not miss this good opportunity to tease Shanks. For a moment, the laughter spread among the crowd here, making Shanks a little embarrassed, but he just smiled helplessly and was not angry. After all, he had experienced being rejected many times and had long been accustomed to it.

Weiss disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant and returned to his own world in the blink of an eye.

He had gained a lot from this trip today and obtained a lot of extremely valuable experimental materials. He was planning to study them carefully with Vegapunk after returning. Maybe there would be some unexpected new discoveries that would promote their ongoing scientific research projects.

In the outside world, Morgans, a tycoon in the news industry, after learning the details of this war that shook the entire ocean, after careful consideration, named this war "Marine War".

The scale of this war is really too large. Not only are there a large number of people involved, but it also involves three of the Four Emperors, who are powerful beings standing at the top of the pirate world. Each of them has the power to shake the world.

In this tragic war, the legendary pirate Whitebeard died.

At the same time, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea lost his life in this battle, which shows how cruel war is.

Moreover, the intensity and severity of this war are unprecedented.

It can be said that this war completely changed the direction of the world.

That's what Whitebeard shouted before he died.

This greatly inspired countless adventurous and ambitious people, who rushed to the sea, eager to explore the legendary treasure.

Among these people, most chose to become pirates, making the already turbulent sea even more chaotic.

In addition, in order to win the Battle of Marineford, the Navy drew elite forces from various branches to participate in the war, which resulted in many places where the Navy was originally stationed to maintain order becoming vacant of troops.

Those pirates would not miss such a good opportunity. They took the chance to burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil. Even several countries were directly conquered because they did not have enough strength to resist the invasion of pirates. For a time, war was raging, countless innocent people died in this chaos, and the whole world fell into turmoil and sorrow.

In this war, the navy was caught between a rock and a hard place, suffering heavy losses. Not only did it suffer numerous casualties on the battlefield, but the world situation also spiraled out of control.

It is said that Sengoku and Garp felt guilty and took all the responsibility on themselves. Sengoku even made a major decision. He voluntarily resigned from the position of marshal, hoping to take responsibility and give an explanation to the navy.

As for Garp, he even wanted to retire. He felt that he no longer had the face to stay in the navy. After all, some of his actions on the battlefield did have a significant impact on the outcome of the war.

However, Kong did not approve their request to retire, but asked them to stay and teach the younger generation of the navy.

After all, both of them are veterans in the navy with extremely rich experience and strong strength. If they leave the navy like this, it will be a big loss for the navy.

However, as the two of them gradually retreated to the second line and were no longer as active on the front line as before, it also meant that an era of the navy had come to an end and a new era was about to begin.
