The natural system started off strong, but the navy finally reached its peak!

It negated his awareness and trampled on his pride.

Most importantly, Whitebeard knew better than anyone that a true strongman must bear the consequences of his choices.

.......

Just as the two were facing off, all the Whitebeard Pirates' officers landed.

Marco, Whitey Bay ("Ice Witch"), Jozu, Vista, Thatch, and others stood in opposition to the heavily injured and alone Gern, flanking Whitebeard!

Behind Whitebeard and his crew, Tenzuki covered his mouth, tears silently sliding down his cheeks.

The man she always saw, with his hearty laughter and high spirits, was now being trampled on like a dog...

"Lord Oden...!" Her voice was barely audible, yet it pierced everyone's heart like a knife.

"Damn it, lift your foot!!" Inuarashi and Nekomamushi had already lost all restraint, their eyes bloodshot.

Inuarashi's claws snapped open, causing Nekomamushi's fur to stand on end.

"Release Lord Oden!!!" Inuarashi roared, the deck beneath his feet shattering with a deafening roar as he hurtled towards Gern like a cannonball.

The cat viper followed closely behind, its sharp claws gleaming coldly: "I'll tear you to pieces!!!"

However, just as the two were about to leap...

"Boom!" Whitebeard's Murakumogiri slammed into the ground, and a terrifying shockwave spread out instantly.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi were forced back by this force, staggering and falling to the ground.

.......

The air on the deserted island was as still as iron, rain washed over the scorched earth, and the stench of blood filled the air.

Gern stood alone in the center of the battlefield, his black blade, Eight Directions, pointing diagonally at the ground, the wound on his right shoulder gruesome.

Blood dripped from his fingertips, yet he still stood tall, confronting the Whitebeard Pirates alone.

At this critical moment, a slender white figure suddenly appeared in front of Gern!

“I’m here.” Lipo’s voice was soft, yet it pierced the silence like a sharp sword.

She raised her hands high, and with a "whoosh," a brand-new cloak of justice was unfurled, the snow-white words "Justice" fluttering in the strong wind.

Upon hearing this voice, Gern's pupils contracted sharply: "Libor?! When did you...?"

The cloak fell down, settling firmly on Gern's blood-stained shoulders.

Upon recognizing the newcomer, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi's pupils constricted sharply: "Ripo-neechan?! What are you doing here?!"

The calls of Inuarashi and Nekomamushi made Ribo's fingertips tremble slightly, but the next second, her eyes turned completely cold.

"Ribo-neechan?! How could you be a Marine? You weren't..." Inuarashi's voice trailed off.

Because he saw the emotion in her eyes clearly—it wasn't the joy of a long-awaited reunion, but rather naked disgust.

“Shut up.” Lipo’s voice was harsh and cold.

She clenched her fists, her drooping ears slightly bristling with anger. "You two still have the nerve to call me by my name?"

The cat viper's tail stiffened, and its eyes widened in disbelief: "Sister Lipo, what do you mean by this?!"

"What do you mean?" she sneered. "Along this journey, I've seen villages slaughtered by pirates, and even corpses used for amusement..."

Her voice trailed off, finally fading into a curse squeezed out between her teeth.

"And you... the warriors who once swore to protect Zou, have now become these so-called 'pirates'?!"

Inuarashi's ears drooped sharply: "We're here to follow Lord Oden! Not all pirates are..."

"Shut up?!" Libo suddenly roared, her voice tearing through the rain. "Little Pedro worships you two like bosses, but you two disgust me."

The cat viper's claws pierced the ground with a "crack," but it couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

“Compared to living as a pirate…” Ribo turned her back to them, her justice cloak fluttering in the wind.

"You... you would have been better off dying the day you risked leaving Zou."

Upon hearing Ribo's words, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi were struck dumb, their faces turning deathly pale.

The two opened their mouths, but couldn't utter a single word.

Whitebeard narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze lingering for a moment on Ribo, who was also a Mink, before turning back to Gern.

"Navy brat, hand over the man!" His voice was deep and authoritative.

At the same moment, the officers of the Moby Dick stepped forward in unison, and an invisible sense of oppression surged forth like a tide.

"Ha, you..." Before Gern could speak, a furious shout suddenly came from the sky.

"Whitebeard!!!" A figure crashed down like a meteorite, the ground instantly cracked, and the shockwave sent debris flying.

Steel Bone Kong wore a marshal's coat, crossed his arms, and his gaze was as sharp as a knife.

Immediately afterwards, Sakazuki's figure fell from the sky, his molten right fist dripping with scorching lava, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.

Sengoku, who had been responsible for restraining Whitebeard, followed closely behind. The phantom of a golden Buddha was faintly visible behind Sengoku, and Armament Haki covered his entire body.

The powerful Marines landed one after another and lined up beside Gern. The previously lonely Justice instantly formed a barrier and confronted the Whitebeard Pirates!

“Marshal…” Gern glanced sideways, his voice hoarse.

Steel Bone snorted coldly: "I'll settle the score with you when we get back."

Sakazuki's gaze swept over the wound on Gern's chest, then fell upon Oden, who was pinned to the ground, and he said calmly...

"what happened?"

"Nothing happened, I just accidentally ran into an ordinary pirate."

Gurn smiled, then could no longer hold on and leaned against Lipo.

Sengoku stared at Whitebeard and said in a deep voice, "Newgate, the Navy will not allow you to act recklessly here."

"Gurararara!!" Whitebeard burst into laughter, the sound shaking the clouds: "Has the Navy come out in full force?"

His gaze swept over Kong, Sengoku, and Sakazuki, finally settling on Gern: "Kid, looks like you have some powerful backing."

After saying that, he slowly raised Murakumogiri and slammed it heavily to the ground: "Navy, let's end it here for today."

"Don't underestimate justice, Whitebeard!!!"

Without hesitation, only the banner of justice and the first strike of the Hades responded to Whitebeard...

……

What happened next, nobody knows...

All that is known is that when the island completely disappeared, the Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick, bearing its scars, slowly sailed away.

This epic battle ended only when the Whitebeard Pirates were severely damaged and Whitebeard himself was seriously injured.

Finally, Kong didn't want to fight both the legendary pirate crews, Flying Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates, at the same time.

Therefore, Whitebeard took Kozuki Oden away as part of a ceasefire agreement, which resulted in Oden's withdrawal.

Chapter 105 Healing Carrots Made by Oden

[A stunning showdown! Marine "Skyquake" Gern takes on Whitebeard Pirates' 2nd Division Commander "Samurai" Kozuki Oden!]

Fleet Admiral Kong, Admiral Sengoku, and Vice Admiral Sakazuki team up to severely injure the "World's Strongest Man"!

--New World Front Special Report--

Shocking! Yesterday, a battle worthy of being recorded in history erupted on the New World Island of Os!

According to an eyewitness (a news reporter who wished to remain anonymous), Marine Headquarters Commodore "Skyquake" Gern faced off alone against the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.

He defeated Kozuki Oden, the "Samurai" with a bounty of 1.87 billion Berries, head-on!

—The tide of battle has turned! The navy's top combat forces have assembled!—

Just as the entire Whitebeard Pirates landed, intending to rescue Oden...

Fleet Admiral Kong, Admiral Sengoku the Buddha, and Vice Admiral Sakazuki personally led the charge on the battlefield!

The three joined forces to severely injure the "world's strongest man"! The Whitebeard Pirates were forced to retreat!

This battle marked the rise of a new generation of naval commanders!

Whitebeard's "undefeated myth" was broken for the first time by the combined efforts of the Navy!

Countless islands in the G-3 area raised their naval flags, calling the battle a "milestone of justice."

Rumor has it that the G-3 sea area has been rated as the safest sea area, and housing prices in island cities have begun to rise steadily as a result!

.......

New World, Naval Base G-3, Medical Room

In the brightly lit room, only the ticking of medical equipment and the soft sound of waves outside the window could be heard.

Gern slowly opened his eyes, his gaze gradually focusing on the ceiling.

"So thirsty..." He tried to move his right hand, and a slight stinging sensation came, but it was much better than the excruciating pain he had expected.

He then discovered that he could actually sit up, even though he had taken a direct hit from "Peach Blossom Spring".

His chest and right shoulder were almost completely destroyed, but now...

"Gern!!!" At that moment, a white figure suddenly pounced on him, its fluffy, droopy ears brushing against his chin.

Libo clung to him tightly, tears streaming down her face.

"You're finally awake! You idiot! You idiot!!!"

“Libor…” Gren paused for a moment, then reached out and touched her head, a slight smile playing on his lips: “I’m fine.”

Libo looked up, her eyes red-rimmed and tears still clinging to the tip of her nose: "You've been unconscious for three days!"

Uncle Sakazuki argues with that mohawk-haired guy every day!

"A mohawk..." Gern chuckled, recalling Kong's hairstyle.

Just as I was about to say something, I suddenly realized something and looked down at my right shoulder, which I could move freely.

"How come it feels like I wasn't injured at all?" Guern frowned in confusion and directly ripped off the bandage.

As the bandage on his right shoulder came loose, the wounds that had pierced his right shoulder and even his chest by the peach blossom completely disappeared, leaving not even a scar.

Looking at his perfectly intact body, Gern seemed to realize something, his pupils contracted, and he abruptly looked up at Lipo.

"Libor! Did you use 'Complete Restoration' on me?"

That would shorten your lifespan, you…” Gern hadn’t finished speaking.

Libo blinked and her ears twitched: "No."

"No, no?!" Gern was stunned. "Then this injury...no, you don't need to lie to me, you must be..."

"Really, there isn't one!" Libo pulled a bright red carrot from her pocket and waved it triumphantly.

"I used the Healing Carrot on you right away, Gern!"

“The healing carrot that has this effect on me…” Gern stared at the carrot, his gaze gradually becoming serious.

The healing fruit's ability can extract the life force of others to create "healing carrots," but the stronger the effect, the greater the damage to the donor.

His alternate body had now almost completely recovered, and he only felt a little tired, showing no signs of fatigue after the great battle...

"You...you didn't, did you, take Kozuki Oden's drug?" Gern blinked.

"Mmm-hmm!" Lipo nodded, her drooping ears swaying gently.

"At that time, Whitebeard, Uncle Sakazuki, and the other two were fighting fiercely."

I saw that the samurai was lying on the ground, unable to move, so I just..."

“Hmm, one puff at a time.” Libo made a very small gesture.
