One Piece: Starting from Awakening the Cosmo at Marineford

With Akainu's appearance, Marco and his group, who were left to cover the rear, looked even more serious.

Akainu casually glanced at the twenty-odd marines, his gaze lingering briefly on Aaron before settling on Jinbe.

Ivankov turned to Jinbe: "Jinbe, you take Luffy away right now, we'll hold him off!"

"It's General Sakazuki!"

The marines shouted excitedly.

"Follow Admiral Sakazuki and stop these pirates!"

"We absolutely cannot let them return to the sea; countless civilians will never sleep at night!"

Aaron shook his head: "You should stay away. Admiral Akainu's battles are beyond our reach."

As he spoke, Akainu strode toward Ivankov, and as the magma surged forth, the surrounding temperature was rising rapidly.

Ivankov, as a Revolutionary Army officer, was quite powerful, but he was no match for Akainu.

With just two casual punches, Akainu had already sent Ivankov away. Using the recoil from the magma gushing from his legs, he began to fly at low altitude, chasing after Jinbe.

The sound of footsteps could be heard from below the encirclement wall; the marines had already broken out of the encirclement wall through the secret passage.

Aaron said, "Be careful, I'll go down and check!"

"Aaron, we'll go with you!"

Aaron looked around again and saw many wounded marines lying on the ground, waiting for their deaths.

"Go and help treat the wounded. Saving your comrades takes priority over killing pirates. Of course, if you encounter any pirates who aren't quite dead yet, be kind and send them on their way so they don't suffer while they're alive."

Aaron is no saint; he shows mercy and compassion even to his enemies.

"Okay! We'll do as you say! Everyone, follow me!"

More than twenty marines immediately dispersed to check on the marines lying on the ground. Two of them, carrying swords, checked on the pirates lying on the ground one by one.

Upon reaching the edge of the enclosure, Aaron looked down and saw that the seawater in the bay had frozen over again. Aokiji was standing there leisurely, while groups of marines walked around him to kill pirates.

Kizaru stood at the edge of the enclosure, pointing and gesturing downwards.

Each time he strikes, a laser beam shoots out, followed by an explosion.

Those pirates were now like stray dogs, lacking the courage to resist. They only cared about running towards the pirate ship.

The marines were unable to catch up with their main force for a time and could only kill some of the lagging pirates.

With all three admirals on the front lines, even though Aokiji and Kizaru were suspected of slacking off, it greatly boosted the morale of the marines.

On the other side, Akainu was fighting Marco and the other captains, which made the marines excitedly shout and cheer for him.

Aaron estimated that the surrounding wall was about 30 meters high, roughly the height of an eight or nine-story building.

Aaron took a deep breath, leaped down, and landed steadily on the ice.

Akainu and Marco's group were fighting dozens of meters away, but the scorching magma and the phoenix's flames baked the surrounding air like a steamer.

Aaron looked up at the sky, where a bright yellow light illuminated the heavens.

Kizaru's right index finger flashed with laser light, but he hesitated to shoot it at Buggy.

Aaron cursed under his breath, "Damn it, they're still acting!"

It's one thing for Aokiji to act, but he's Garp's disciple, so he's nominally Luffy's uncle.

They let Luffy and his crew off the hook back on Long Chain Island, and now they're just watching the show with their hands in their pockets.

Sengoku and Garp were old comrades-in-arms who fought side by side since childhood, so it's understandable that Sengoku would show mercy to his old comrade's grandson.

But what about Kizaru? That was pure acting.

It is precisely because of this that Kizaru is suspected of being a Revolutionary Army spy, and this is not entirely unjust.

With a "ding," Aaron felt a vibration on his body and looked down.

A bullet fell to the ground, but the Saint Cloth on his chest remained unharmed.

Looking up, a pirate stared at the smoking muzzle of a pistol, seemingly questioning his own existence.

"Phoenix Feather!"

A feather pierced the air like a bullet, striking the pirate's forehead before emerging from the back of his head and flying back behind Aaron.

A marine ran past him quickly. Aaron looked at the back of the man and then at the distinctive pink hair, and he already knew who it was.

Let's stop here!

The marine stopped in front of Akainu, spreading his arms as if to block him.

All the pirates were astonished; they couldn't understand why marines would come out to help them.

The marines were momentarily confused about what this man was doing.

The current situation is one-sided; killing one more pirate means one more moment of peace on the high seas.

Is this marine out of his mind?

How could an ordinary soldier be stopping a general's actions?

Does this mean they've chosen to side with the pirates?

This behavior is tantamount to betraying the enemy in the face of battle!

"Stop hitting! You're ruining... ah!"

"Damn it, what the hell is this!"

Aaron delivered a flying kick, sending Koby flying.

Koby rolled more than ten meters on the ground before being blocked by the legs of several marines.

Aaron stepped aside: "General Sakazuki, please continue!"

Akainu looked down at Aaron: "Who are you? Are you here to save him?"

Although Aaron kicked Coby away, most marines saw this as helping Coby.

Koby's actions were an unforgivable crime on the battlefield.

Moreover, Akainu's right fist was slowly rising, ready to strike and kill the marine who was helping the enemy at any moment.

Akainu strongly suspects that Aaron was saving Koby.

Aaron said, "Don't misunderstand, I just don't like him. What do you mean 'it's over'? Didn't all the marines who died before sacrifice themselves in vain? Didn't the blood of those marines who protected civilians from pirates also go to waste?"

Akainu squinted and said, "You've got it figured out! But attacking a comrade on the battlefield is still punishable by military law!"

Aaron puffed out his chest and grinned, "That kick I just gave you was really satisfying. If you have a problem with me, punish me however you want. Even if you fire me, even if you put me in jail, I'll still kick him!"

Akainu glanced at Aaron, said nothing, and looked up at the sea not far away.

Aaron followed suit and looked over.

Law, who had arrived out of nowhere, had already caught Jinbe and Luffy, and their submarine had begun to sink.

Akainu leaped up and jumped to the edge of the ice, his right magma fist about to strike the spot where the submarine had sunk.

"Wait, Akainu!"

A deep voice rang out.

Aaron knew without even looking that it was Shanks, one of the Four Emperors.

Aaron rushed to make his move, fearing that if he hesitated even slightly, it would be the redhead who would strike.

He absolutely refused to miss the chance to beat up Koby.

Even if Garp is protective of his own, Aaron's actions this time are flawless; on the contrary, he should be grateful to himself for saving Akainu's disciple from him.

Even Koby himself, if he were polite, would bring a gift to thank them afterwards.

It's a win-win situation, a sure-fire way to make money!
