One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

Shanks was extremely frustrated.

But he was also a man who could take things in stride, and immediately took his leave, saying, "Since that's the case, we've gone to unnecessary trouble. I'll leave with my men now, and I hope Captain Abel will keep his word. Farewell."

"Hehe, no need to see me out."

Abel didn't have any problem with Shanks' character; he just instinctively felt that the timing of Shanks' arrival was too suspicious.

Moreover, he doesn't believe there are any saints in this world.

A pirate who doesn't think about treasure or territory all day long is concerned about the world order and wants to maintain world stability.

This is absolutely outrageous!

That's the World Government's business, what's it to you, a nobody pirate?!

This is as absurd as an ordinary citizen who doesn't care about daily vegetable prices and firewood, but insists on going to "Iraq" to maintain order and tell you to stop fighting.

Is it any of your business?

I'm giving you face, but how many barrels of oil are you worth?

I worked so hard to build this situation, and you just come here to farm reputation like that?

If Abel were to actually give him that kind of face, then he'd be as good as if Chopper had kicked him in the head with his hind legs.

The prestige gained from this war went to Shanks, who received a large portion of it!

Countless uninformed people might think that 'Red-Haired' Shanks is incredibly awesome, managing to make even the Four Emperors Abel and the Navy give him face with just a few words.

If this war is ever written into textbooks, it will all turn into this: The teacher asks, "Who ended the Marineford War?"

The students answered: It's the Four Emperors, 'Red-Haired' Shanks.

Yes, it had nothing to do with Abel.

Hey!

Abel would be furious just thinking about it.

So how could he possibly have a good attitude towards Shanks?

The Red-Haired Pirates arrived suddenly and left just as quickly.

All the world saw was Shanks leading his men to find Abel, one of the Four Emperors, and the two had a brief conversation before Shanks left with his men.

It's simply baffling.

Are you just strolling around Lin Fando?

At this moment, He couldn't help but ask, "Can you ask your men to stop now?"

"That was possible, but with the Red-Haired Pirates interfering like this, I think there's no rush. Let's fight for another hour to avoid people misunderstanding that our ceasefire is related to others."

Upon hearing Abel's words, Tsuru immediately became anxious. "Fight for another hour? After another hour, how many of the navy personnel here will still be alive? You're not really going to regret this, are you?!"

"Then what do you suggest? I'm not going to suffer this kind of loss."

"Cease fire immediately! I'll take care of your concerns and make sure you don't suffer any losses."

"Alright, since it was Chief of Staff He who spoke up repeatedly, I'll trust you this once."

Abel shook his head helplessly. "Go and prepare in front of the live broadcast camera. When you call a halt to the Navy, I will also have the Dragon Hunter Guild members stop."

"In addition, this is just a token of our sincerity."

After saying that, Abel stopped releasing his Noble Phantasm.

The next moment, the endless river of blood swept back the entire army of the dead, retreating rapidly into the black coffin.

The already crumbling naval forces ultimately did not collapse.

"saved……"

Many people immediately collapsed to the ground, their faces showing expressions of relief at surviving the ordeal.

"Oh, right, Professor Zephyr!"

Many people immediately thought of Teacher Zefa, who had united them as one.

If it weren't for Teacher Zefa setting an example and rekindling their courage, they, as deserters, might already be corpses by now.

Therefore, they were all sincerely grateful for Teacher Zefa's help.

But when they came to Teacher Zephyr's side, they all lowered their heads and tears streamed down their faces.

Because Zephyr had already died from exhaustion.

Even at the moment of his death in battle, his broad chest still sheltered every disciple behind him.

Many people knelt down on the ground, weeping bitterly.

Then suddenly, the crane's voice rang out through the loudspeaker.

"I am Tsuru. All navy personnel, listen to my command: the war is over. Now, everyone lay down your weapons and return to my side."

"Repeat it one more time..."

Many sailors looked bewildered upon hearing the order.

"Is the war... over?"

At the same time, Abel took the megaphone and said loudly, "I am Guild Leader Abel. All members of the Dragon Hunter Guild, please cease your attack and retreat to the port."

Both sides' leaders spoke up, and their subordinates genuinely didn't want to fight anymore, so they separated very quickly.

After both sides retreated like the tide, the battlefield was littered with corpses, leaving everyone in silence.

This left those watching the live stream utterly shocked!

The queue of 10,000 people stretched as far as the eye could see.

Now, tens of thousands of corpses lay on the ground, a scene that is unforgettable!

Many people simply couldn't bear such a shocking impact, turning pale and covering their mouths.

It was from this moment that the world realized just how brutal this war truly was!

Chapter 955 Public Apology!

Kizaru and Fujitora arrived at Tsuru's side at top speed.

After all, according to naval ranks, after the death of Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the highest-ranking officer would be the Admiral.

As a veteran of the navy, Tsuru only held the rank of vice admiral because he refused promotion in his early years.

Logically, Tsuru should be obeying the orders of Kizaru and Fujitora.

However, with the war not yet completely over, neither Kizaru nor Fujitora will compete with Tsuru for any rights.

They just wanted to know some inside information.

He Tiao told the two of the conditions that He Tiao could offer.

"All the blame and responsibility for the defeat in this war rests entirely on me. The World Government can simply shift all the questions it has to me afterwards."

The crane's meaning is clear: after this war, someone will definitely have to take the blame.

She was willing to be the one sacrificed.

Fujitora smiled, his expression somewhat moved. "Vice Admiral Tsuru is willing to make such a sacrifice for the greater good and for the future of the Navy. He is truly admirable."

"Although I have only been a member of the Navy for a short time, I have been promoted to Admiral without any prior recognition. I am already unworthy of this honor. If I can quell the World Government's anger in the name of Admiral, I am willing to continue to uphold justice as an ordinary Navy officer."

Unlike Kizaru, who remained silent, Issho directly expressed his willingness to be the scapegoat.

Anyway, he never thought he would be promoted to admiral through special circumstances. Even if he was dismissed from his post and became a low-ranking marine because of taking responsibility, he would be happy with it and would not feel any sense of loss.

This is the magnanimity and character of Yixiao.

Crane shook his head. "In this war, the navy's elite forces suffered heavy losses, and countless officers were killed or wounded. If we were to send out a general to take responsibility at this time, then the navy would only have one general left, which would be insufficient to deter those petty villains."

"Therefore, there is no need to discuss this matter any further. You and Kizaru will be the future pillars of the Navy, and we absolutely cannot afford to lose them."

"And there's nothing to worry about. Although I'll have to take responsibility for the defeat in this war, the punishment won't be too severe. At most, I'll be dismissed from my post and locked up in Impel Down for a while, which suits me just fine."

He wasn't being coy at all; she genuinely wanted to be locked up in Impel Down.

In that case, she wouldn't need to fulfill the third condition she agreed to for Abel.

After all, she was already in prison, so even if she wanted to, she was powerless to help.

Under these circumstances, it cannot be considered that she broke her promise.

Perhaps she had already thought of this when she agreed.

Seeing that He had already made his decision and was very determined, Yi Xiao stopped trying to persuade him.

He could only sigh helplessly.

After the two sides completely separated and each occupied one side, He also stood in front of the camera.

And as requested by the crane, the footage was broadcast live around the world.

"I am Vice Admiral and Chief of Staff of the Navy, Tsuru."

"It is regrettable that our navy was the loser in this war."

Wow!

These words caused an uproar around the world.

No one expected that Tsuru would so readily admit the navy's defeat in public.

Based on the Navy's usual practice, everyone thought she would refuse to admit defeat and forcefully claim it was a draw, or even an advantage.

Even the four elders who were watching the live broadcast were furious.

"Does He even know what she's doing? Has she gone mad?"

"They actually admitted in front of the whole world that the Navy lost to a bunch of pirates?"

"A heinous crime! This is an absolutely monstrous crime!"

"She is a sinner against the Navy!"
