One Piece: True Several Thousand Hands, rampaging across Marineford!

the other side.

Lena spoke up to explain for him, "That's not something my brother would do."

"I know."

Ryder said, "But as a leader, there are many things you can't control, and you don't have freedom."

"Freedom has no definition."

Lena said with a pained look in her eyes, "Freedom without limits is bastardly."

"There's only one Roger, and he met a tragic end."

Ryder sighed softly and said, "The members of Wang Zhi's faction made a wrong move, which almost caused the situation to get out of control and resulted in a lot of unnecessary killings."

"This time I stopped them from taking further action, but next time it might be different."

“I am currently in the learning phase of being a leader, and I will not do that kind of thing again.”

"..."

"I see."

Lena leaned on the railing.

Head down.

"Their choice is not your fault; you don't belong here."

Ryder left.

Leave a message.

"You should go now."

During this period.

This girl taught him many things, more important than Brooke's guidance.

He is not a 'monster'.

Being able to read people's minds doesn't necessarily mean being disliked by everyone.

"Those who truly yearn for solitude will choose death. You don't like solitude, but you have no choice and can't trust others. There are many people like you in the Pirate Alliance."

"No one in this world truly desires solitude."

"..."

Standing at the highest point, looking down at the members in the Pirate Alliance Hall, Reiard recalled what Lena had said back then and said self-deprecatingly, "I uphold loneliness as my creed, yet my understanding of loneliness is not even as good as that of a little girl."

"The people downstairs are really noisy."

"..."

…………

During this period.

The biggest event that happened was naturally the conflict between the two kings.

The conflict between the two major factions, centered around Kahn and Ryder, is now out in the open.

The trigger for this incident was an attack launched by some members of Wang Zhi's faction against the pirate alliance, which led to a fierce conflict and losses on both sides.

A significant number of members were killed in action.

A member of the pirate alliance was captured.

Members of Wang Zhi's faction were also captured.

The pirate alliance, being the strongest pirate force, is enormous. Unable to swallow this insult, countless members acted on their own, sparking a series of battles.

This massive battle swept across many areas.

……

The rest of the sea trembled.

Barrett went to the sea again.

…………

On an island.

Barrett arrived.

I visited Denger Island before coming here.

I received guidance.

When they arrived, they gave Kahn a good beating and asked him if Lena was with the Pirate Alliance.

He was furious.

This matter can no longer be covered up.

Katakuri saw that Kahn did not resist.

To prevent Barrett from taking further action.

Pain was evident both inside and on his face.

Barrett felt a sense of sadness.

These people didn't consider themselves outsiders; they should have chosen to join in the first place.

"I want to do something that I can do."

Kaido and Katakuri heard Bullet's words.

She had already accepted this soldier in her heart.

Barrett's lifelong dream was to protect his country and safeguard his small medal.

If it weren't for betrayal.

He would rather be the nation's most powerful weapon.

Gaia was initially cured and sent back to the Kingdom of Drums along with Whitebeard.

Gureva remained on the island.

Speaking of recent events.

“I know you’re tired and have a lot to do, so I didn’t tell you… These are the things I’ve been keeping from you these past few days.”

Gureva's face darkened. "I should stop them from doing something stupid."

It's impossible to hide it forever; no one else dares to tell.

It was she who finally spoke.

"It's not your fault."

Kahn heard the whole story and learned about the recent events.

This kind of thing was bound to happen sooner or later.

If I had chosen to wage a full-scale war three years ago, the outcome would probably already be decided.

Two possibilities.

One outcome is defeat and death, the other is a Pyrrhic victory.

“They meant well.”

Gureva said with self-reproach, "I wanted to do something one last time. If only I had noticed their actions."

Countless islands were massacred.

Excluding Denger Island.

But that island where KFC helped Wang Zhi pass on his last words.

None survived.

The scale was originally intended to expand further, and many pirate alliance executives even planned to directly attack the Kingdom of Drum and Magnetic.

It was Ryder who stepped in to stop it.

They killed many members of the pirate alliance, temporarily suppressing them.

But an explanation is needed.

Otherwise, the vast majority of the pirate alliance, driven by hatred, would riot against the remnants of Rocks' party and vent their anger on them, resulting in more than ten times the number of deaths.

All members of Wang Zhi's faction who launched the attack committed suicide.

They gave an explanation.

To prevent the war from escalating.

Ryder personally killed those pirate alliance executives and also wiped out a group of his subordinates who had been massacred too severely.

That matter was finally over.

Kahn knew that Wang Zhi's faction wanted to capture the pirate alliance's executives.

Go and redeem Lena.

But good intentions led to bad results.

If it weren't for an unseen force suddenly intervening, things might have reached an irreversible point.

It's highly likely that Lena did something.

Otherwise, the pirate alliance wouldn't have been able to suppress their hostility towards the remnants of Rocks' crew so effectively.

If a real fight breaks out...

The innocent civilians are the ones who suffer.

Kahn had anticipated something that wasn't part of his plan.

But knowing the true extent of the loss still brings a sense of sadness.

His previous actions were all well-planned, and none of the major events had a significant impact on ordinary people.
