Arceus' Pirate Journey

I know you are looking for something, although I don't know where it is, but I can help a little. I have a lot of people under my command, and they can search the territory, which will be of some use after all."

"I have no interest in this kind of war, but Kaido's business is not over yet. His goal is to fight to the death with Whitebeard. After the battle is over, he will naturally not interfere in the affairs here anymore."

Red Hair got a relatively good result, at least the other party did not intend to continue to expand the war.

Now that the elite members of the Whitebeard Pirates have been deployed, without any interference, Jack and Olga may have occupied most of Whitebeard's territory. Whitebeard's withdrawal is within Red Hair's expectations, so he simply made a suggestion.

"In that case, I will assist Kaido in clearing out those who are interfering with him. Correspondingly, after his battle is over, can this war be brought to an end? Of course, my previous words still stand."

That horrific attack was enough to destroy Marinford. If it happened again, no one would be able to protect the people on the island, so Red Hair directly put himself in a weak position, proposed this agreement in the form of a transaction, and first stated what he could do.

According to Uta, the other party is easy to talk to and will not make things difficult for you as long as the conditions are right.

"can."

This is the purpose of the Beasts. Even if Shanks was not there, Kaido would not continue after the battle. Now there is a sucker who has come to his doorstep, and that is free labor.

Ideally, Red Hair hoped that the fighting could stop immediately, but he couldn't do it. There were too many top-level combat forces involved in this war. He could only unite one side to make the other side stop.

It's a pity that the Five Elders now have some doubts about him, otherwise they might have informed him of their decision long ago. I wonder what Red Hair's expression would be if he knew that the World Government has already thought of ending the war.

When Red Hair reached an agreement with Arceus and headed towards the center of the battlefield, Marinford was completely split into two halves. Relying on the terrifying power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Whitebeard forcibly cracked the entire island.

"Dad! What are you doing? Come here!"

"Gulala, there's no need for that. Listen up, guys. Here are the captain's final orders! The rest of you, return to the new world alive. Everything that happens to me is my own choice.

No matter what my fate is, I am not allowed to have thoughts of revenge! "

Chapter 997: Give me some face, this war should end

Both the Origin and the Red Force were approaching the center of the battlefield, but Shanks had already returned to his ship and did not go with Arceus.

No idea what was wrong with the Five Elders, who actually suspected him of having some ulterior motive. His trip to Marinford was enough to make many things unclear. It would be even more troublesome if he was on the same ship with the people from the Hundred Beasts.

Some misunderstandings may not be resolved, but there is no need to let them continue to expand.

During this process, the navy soldiers also had different reactions. The aftermath of the explosion had a more serious impact on the grassroots combat power. Although most of the power was directed into the sky, it still broke up most of the navy's formations.

These people had just stood up when the Origin and Red Hair began to advance towards the battlefield.

For the soldiers who have already been mad with anger, the identity of the enemy has become unimportant, and killing their enemies has become the only obsession in their hearts.

Several soldiers struggled to move the cannon on the ground and aimed the muzzle at the Origin.

"It's the Beasts' pirate ship. Prepare to attack. Reload... I said reload! Didn't you hear me?"

"Sir... my body... my body is out of control, I can't move at all..."

The soldier holding the cannonball responded to another sailor with difficulty. The sailor, as the superior, wanted to scold him, but the next moment he found that his body was also stiff.

"What's going on... Doflamingo?! What are you doing you bastard!?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Doflamingo walking towards him with a very arrogant step, and the slightly raised fingers explained why their bodies could not move.

"Don't you want your position as a Shichibukai anymore?"

“Hey, don’t get so excited. The World Government will not deprive me of my status just because of a rear admiral like you.

And you'd better understand that I'm saving you, and it's not a good thing to make the people on that ship angry."

曾！

A scimitar made of yellow sand came from below, but the string in Doflamingo's hand had already caught the clouds in the sky, and then he retracted his fingers and avoided the attack from Crocodile.

But the navy men had no such luck. The water in their bodies was quickly sucked dry by the sand blades, and they soon turned into mummies.

“Crocodile bastard, didn’t I tell you that this is the end of today?

You're making it very difficult for me."

"Why should I listen to you? And are you such a kind person? Rescuing a navy you don't even know is not what you should do."

“咈咈咈咈咈, I just don’t want to be affected. See, you crocodile bastards, monsters like them are the ones who will rule the future!”

Among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Doflamingo was the most excited person after seeing the attack in the sky being stopped. Being able to confront the World Government with force in this way is the most dreamy cooperation partner.

"So? What does that have to do with me?"

"Oh, sorry, I almost forgot that you were sent to Impel Down by that young lady. But I think your trip to Impel Down was not in vain. You gained a lot from this trip."

"......"

Crocodile's already gloomy face became even darker, the resentment in him was almost materializing, and a mist of sand was also condensing in his hand.

"That's enough, you crocodile bastard. If you're not an idiot, you can see that this war is about to end. Should we continue to fight or go and see its final outcome? I believe you can make a smart decision. Now you still have a chance to join forces with me."

"dream."

Crocodile still rejected Doflamingo, but did not continue to attack him.

His body turned into a wisp of yellow sand and flew in another direction.

He had been searching for ancient weapons for countless years, and this was the first time he saw this extremely terrifying power. In his mind, this was the legendary ancient weapon. After all, Nico Robin was sent by the Beasts, and Crocodile didn't believe it. The Beasts had no information about the ancient weapons.

[If I had this kind of power....]

If I also have such terrifying power, I can establish a militarized country with absolute military deterrence, and thus create my own utopia.

He wanted to see what direction the world would take if the beasts possessed this kind of power.

[Brother Tai...is this the power you follow? ]

Jinbei jumped out of the sea and picked up a few sailors. They were just paddling in a normal war and their attacks would miss from time to time. He was currently doing the finishing work and these sailors were ready-made witnesses.

Because of his position, Jinbei was directly pushed into the water by the impact of the explosion. Even through the sea water, he could see the terrifying power.

[Jinbei, I found what I was looking for. If there is that power, if the Lord recovers his power, then the dream world will surely come. ]

Tiger's words echoed in Jinbei's ears, making Jinbei's heart unable to calm down for a long time. At this time, he began to understand why the teachings of Arceus had always emphasized the power of the Lord.

Hancock didn't feel anything about this and looked eagerly in the direction of the Origin. Although Quinn had already indicated that Olga had other tasks, the support from the Beasts had arrived, so maybe Olga would come too.

Hawkeye's vision was similar to Hancock's, but he had another idea.

[A swordsman... can also reach this level...]

In the corner of the battlefield, the invisible Absalom dragged Moria away.

Moriah was unable to arouse Kaido's interest at all, which led to no one paying any attention to him after he was knocked down by a stick.

Only the loyal Absalom risked his life to rescue Moriah. At this time, he had already obtained a small boat and fled from Marinford with the unconscious Moriah.

......

Meanwhile, Whitebeard's fight continues.

The current situation is relatively ideal for Whitebeard. Ace has been successfully rescued. As long as they can leave the Marine Headquarters, the rescue plan will be considered a success.

The rescue operation went even smoother than in the original timeline, and no one was chasing Ace now. It wasn't that the navy didn't want to, but those who had the intention were either not strong enough or couldn't get away.

Except for those with admiral-level combat power, no one can kill Ace in front of all the captains and captains of the New World.

But Zephyr died in the battle, Sengoku was fighting Kaido, and Akainu and Kizaru were closely watched by Whitebeard. Even though he had to endure the damage from the two, Whitebeard did not give them the chance to intervene in other battles.

It is impossible for Garp to hunt down his two grandsons. As for Kuzan, although Yamato slipped away, Kuzan also rejoined the battlefield, but he did not have the same obsession with Ace and Luffy as Sakaski.

Even for Whitebeard, it would be difficult to take several attacks in order to hold them back.

Whitebeard doesn't have the body of a mythical beast, nor does he have the talent of Iron Balloon, but from the moment he arrived in Marinford, he never thought of leaving alive.

At the age of 72 this year, he does not have too much attachment to life. In the days when the Whitebeard Pirates were founded, he also gained what he wanted, and the company of his family made him extremely satisfied.

The people he knew when he was young ended and disappeared one by one, which made Whitebeard feel like he was one of the remnants of that era.

Like Zefa, he also hopes to find a suitable place for his end.

No matter how much Whitebeard takes care of his body, it is still gradually decaying. It is a rare experience for an old man like him to regain the power of youth at this moment.

And until today, what he cares about is not himself, but the future of the crew members. The final captain's order was for them.

Without Whitebeard, the Whitebeard Pirates are now in name only. Without the combat power of the Four Emperors, the Whitebeard Pirates will automatically withdraw from the position of Emperor of the Sea. Judging from the current situation on the ocean, no one can fill this vacancy.

The rise of the beasts is a foregone conclusion.

Whitebeard admitted that Kaido's intervention indirectly made the rescue smoother, but he knew very well that he and Kaido had no friendship, and that everything Kaido did was just for the sake of fighting.

When fighting against Kaido more than ten years ago, he felt powerless and knew that he would lose and die in battle, but this was a situation that Whitebeard could accept.

He was just afraid that his stupid son would become depressed and want to avenge himself on his behalf against all the beasts.

That kind of behavior is undoubtedly seeking death, but pirates are a group of people who will still rush forward even though they know they will die. In order to prevent this kind of situation, Whitebeard issued the so-called Captain's Order.

"The last... the last captain's order? What are you talking about, Dad? Don't say such unlucky words! We should return to the New World together and build our new ship!"

"Gulala, I am a remnant of the old times. In the new world, there is no ship that can carry me! Remember my orders! Go back alive! No... revenge!"

Across the cliff he created, Whitebeard issued his final orders. During the process, he did not look back and always faced his sons with his back.

"What a joke! You pirates... should all be destroyed here! Meteor Volcano!"

Akainu wanted to continue attacking, but Whitebeard did not give him the chance. He punched the air in front of him with both fists, interrupting the pre-swing of Akainu's attack.

"Lava kid, your opponent is me, don't even think about interfering in other battles!"

Whitebeard didn't know where Kaido was and wasn't that keen on fighting, but no matter what happened, he wouldn't let these guys who could threaten his son out of his sight.

"Borsalino! I'll hold the line here, you go catch those guys who are running away!"

Akainu was shouting Kizaru's name and was fighting with Whitebeard. Akainu didn't know what the situation was on other battlefields, so he planned to hold Whitebeard back by himself and let Kizaru deal with the escaped Ace.

Whitebeard was staring at the two of them, and there was no way he could get away. Only Kizaru was able to use his ability to distance himself from Whitebeard.

Upon hearing this, Kizaru suddenly turned into a flash of light, trying to withdraw from the battle with Whitebeard.

Whitebeard naturally would not allow Kizaru to leave. After forcing Akainu in front of him to retreat, he attacked Kizaru in the sky.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Akainu's whole body turned into magma and rushed towards Whitebeard's body, but his observation Haki suddenly detected the danger signal and his body immediately turned into magma and dispersed.

At the same time, Kaido's mace had already smashed down.

"This old guy is my opponent. Can you marines get out of the way?"

In order to hold back Kizaru, Whitebeard even gave up defending against Akainu. If Akainu's attack was allowed to go through, Whitebeard's body would not be able to withstand it. This is undoubtedly a situation that Kaido does not want to see.

His battle had been disrupted twice, and in order to prevent this most crucial battle from being disrupted again, he stepped in to stop Akainu.

"Newgate, your son has been rescued. It's time to fulfill your promise."

"This isn't really an escape, Kaido."

"So, it's because your sons are too weak. They even need to rely on others to escape. You really have created a lot of trouble."

Looking at Kaido talking with Whitebeard, neither Kizaru nor Akainu acted rashly.

There is no need to say much about Kizaru's character. He has been forced to put in a lot more effort in this war. Akainu just doesn't want to fight two of the Four Emperors at the same time.

Judging from Kaido's tone, he is obviously here to fight Whitebeard. The infighting among pirates is a good opportunity for the navy, and he doesn't want to help Kaido form a united front with Whitebeard.

How to let Whitebeard and Kaido continue fighting while he goes to chase the escaped pirates became the problem that Akainu thought about. However, he did not struggle for long because the top combat forces of both sides had already arrived nearby.

Sengoku, Garp, Crane, Arceus and Red Hair. At this moment, the high-level combat power gathered here has exceeded that of the Battle of God Valley that year.

"You seem to have become stronger again? Have you found your things?"

"I found it, but what took you so long? According to the original plan, it should be over by now."

"There are always accidents, just like that thing in the sky. Help me deal with the guy who's in the way. The rest of the battle won't take too long."

Seeing Arceus coming, Kaido didn't believe that there would be any unexpected factors that could interfere with his battle. If even Arceus couldn't prevent that kind of accident, then he would have to start a more advanced melee.

Compared to Kaido's ease, the situation on the navy side is different.

The vice-captain of the Beasts plus the Red Hair Pirates, this is not good news.

"Red-haired Shanks, why are you here?!"

"It's simple. I hope this war ends here. There's no need to continue."

"What a joke! The navy has made such a huge sacrifice, and you want us to give up this war just because of your few words!"

Listening to Shanks' words, Akainu immediately refuted Shanks' words.

The Navy invested a lot of energy and time in this war at the top, but did not gain any results. If it ended like this, it would be a real shame for the Navy.

"No, I just hope you can recognize the current situation. If you continue to fight, the Red Hair Pirates will also be your enemy."
