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

Crocodile conjured a small sandstorm in his palm and threw it toward Kahn, attempting to blow his opponent away.

At the moment the sandstorm was unleashed.

He instantly transformed into elements, turning into a swirling sandstorm that hurtled towards Lena.

"Playing in the sand!"

Barrett leaped up, threw a punch, and covered his fist with an astonishing amount of Armament Haki, slamming it into the swirling sandstorm.

"You've crossed the line!"

boom!!!

Crocodile, whose position was locked, chose to confront Barret head-on.

The two clashed head-on.

For a time, they were not at a disadvantage.

the other side.

Kahn casually swung his sword, slicing the sandstorm into countless fragments.

Mihawk's sharp eyes narrowed.

He swung his sword again.

One strike can be followed by countless strikes.

Wu Nan intercepted the attack.

“I roughly understand the cause and effect, but you can’t just take our people away.”

Mihawk bypassed Unan, who was blocking his way, and his gaze, which was quite striking, fell on Kahn before shifting to Lena. He unusually took the initiative to speak, "I want to hear your explanation?"

Lena replied without hesitation, "I should go home."

Mihawk's eyes darkened and became more complicated, but he did not make a move immediately. Instead, he retreated and sat back down on his sofa, not intending to continue.

"let her go."

While the pirate alliance's executives were getting restless...

Ryder's voice came through.

far away.

Most of the pirate alliance's officers suppressed their restless impulses. They were unaware of what had happened in the core area, only knowing that a battle had broken out.

But Ryder told them to stop.

"Ryder!"

Only Moria, enraged beyond measure, roared, "You bastard! Are you trying to tell me we can't even protect our own comrades?!"

"Moria."

Leder said in a flat tone, "I don't want to hear anything like that again."

The reporters present seemed to have their thoughts and consciousness distorted, and some content was deleted from all the videos.

Exit here.

When they regain consciousness, they will think that they were afraid of being involved in the battle, and since they had filmed some battle scenes, there was no need for them to stay any longer, so they will choose to leave and will not think that there is anything wrong with anything.

"Moria."

"Feel sorry."

"I've had a great time here, and you're a nice person, but I really have to go."

"The pirate alliance is on the right track."

The pirate alliance doesn't need me at all.

She was just Ryder's guide.

The pirate alliance has gotten to where it is today entirely thanks to Ryder's methods.

"I should go back to my home."

"..."

Lena took the initiative to step forward, clarify her position, and apologized to Moria.

"No!"

Moria shook his head, his eyes resolute, and said, "On behalf of the Pirate Alliance, I welcome you back anytime."

"Ah."

Lena curtsied in return, a gesture of aristocratic etiquette that suited her perfectly. Just as Mrs. Miller had taught her, she was elegant and gentle, behaving more like a true aristocrat than the other nobles.

"My connection with you all ends here."

"Chirp~ Hehehe!"

For some reason, Moria laughed again. "This bond isn't over yet. You'll always be my partner, Moria's partner, and that will never change."

"We're always evenly matched when we play chess."

Crocodile took out a cigar, lit it, and said, "Next time I want to see your true strength."

"You're gone."

Mihawk sat on the sofa, his tone a mix of sadness and sarcasm, "I have to take care of all the food for these two freeloaders."

"Don't be too kind."

For the first time, the Blood King shed his disguise, revealing himself as the hero of that nation from years ago, and admonished, "This world will not be kind to the truly good."

"Women are rarely outstanding."

"..."

Crocodile, Mihawk, Moria, Blood King, Silver Axe, and Blood Blade—the six high-ranking officers present—had different expressions.

They looked at each other.

It felt like we were meeting each other for the first time.

Only two old monsters looked regretful.

Let go of such talent.

This is a significant loss for their pirate alliance.

"Goo~ Hahaha!"

Crocodile laughed and said, "Dracula, your abilities are somewhat similar to mine. How about we find an opportunity to have a match?"

"Let's talk about this later."

Mihawk interrupted, "Are we putting on this show for the World Government?"

Crocodile frowned.

He secretly wondered what this situation was that he couldn't understand at all.

He looked up at Ryder.

It was still that unfathomable depth that was hard to understand, and it was impossible to fathom what this person was thinking. Perhaps only Lena, who was about to leave, could understand one or two things.

Ryder's gaze first fell on Dracula. "You should know what you want, and I've already given it to you."

The focus then shifted to Kahn, saying, "This level isn't enough."

Ryder said a couple of things that were rather vague.

Having understood the cause and effect and with the support of various intelligence, Kahn understood that he wanted to kill a sufficiently important figure here and sever ties with the pirate alliance.

That's exactly what he wanted.

Both sides have their own objectives.

Click!

Kahn flicked his wrist, exerted tremendous force, and snapped the neck of an old monster. The once-glorious old monster still had fear, panic, and an extreme will to survive in his eyes.

But he died.

He died without warning.

No matter how glorious they were in the past, at this stage, there aren't many old monsters who can defeat them. For an old monster of this level to unleash most of his fighting power from his youth, he would have to fight with his life on the line.

The old monster that Kahn captured was clearly the kind of old monster who cherished his life and became more afraid of death as he got older. He couldn't exert much fighting power and didn't dare to risk his life to fight.

This is the fate that those who do not choose to live in seclusion or retire deserve.

He died in battle!

"Dead..."

The Blood King... a national hero from fifty years ago, the greatest legend of that era, Dracula murmured to himself, "There is no one I ever knew in this world anymore."

"I'm tired."

"..."

Dracula exudes a complex mix of emotions, including weariness, longing, and pain.

After a while.

A pungent, nauseating stench of blood erupted in an instant, and a river of blood shot straight into the sky, spreading continuously and transforming the land into a blood-soaked domain in a flash.

"The smell is too strong."

Wu Nan waved his hand dismissively, staring at the old monster with his eyes wide open in death, and chuckled, "You probably won't even know how you died."

"How pathetic."

"..."

The old guys should retire; this has become one of the unspoken rules on the high seas.

They will not leave.

It won't end well...
