Arceus' Pirate Journey

Chapter 998: The End of the War, the Final Battle

Red Hair never believed that he could use words to convince a party to give up fighting, so after reaching an agreement with Arceus, threatening the navy with force became his goal.

There are not many people coming from Baishou and Red Hair, but they are all top fighters.

Arceus, Kaido, Yamato, Sayina, Jin, Queen, Beckman, Shanks, these people plus the Whitebeard Pirates are too much for even the headquarters of the navy to handle.

The most crucial thing is Arceus' strategic deterrence. Red Hair believes that there are still wise people in the World Government, and that kind of devastating attack is enough to make them stop.

The fact was just as he guessed. Facing the threat from Red Hair, the faces of the marines present turned extremely pale, and even Sengoku held down Garp's shoulder.

"Garp, your grandson's problem has been solved now. Don't tell me you are too old to withstand your grandson's fists."

Before, he was Garp's grandson, so Sengoku couldn't force him to do anything. But facing these monsters, if Garp continued to slack off, then there would be nothing they could do as brothers.

"I know...I was just careless just now."

"Be serious with me."

To be fair, Zhan Guo no longer wanted the war to continue. The current situation did not give the navy any advantage, but they had not achieved any results, so they could not just give up.

While Sengoku was struggling, the Den Den Mushi on Crane's body rang, and the latest order from the Five Elder Stars finally reached the Marine Headquarters.

"Five Elder Stars, are you serious?"

"Of course, Zhan Guo, follow the order. Based on the order, minimize the impact. This is what you have to do next."

"Yes."

Several people in the navy had already heard the orders from the Five Elders. Garp and Tsuru seemed to be accustomed to this kind of thing. Kizaru also acted nonchalant. Only Sakaski widened his eyes.

If Sengoku hadn't hung up the Den Den Mushi, he would definitely have had a debate with the Five Elder Stars.

But faced with an order that had already been confirmed, all he could do was to execute it.

"The war can be ended, but first the live broadcast of that Den Den Mushi must be cut off."

The war was over. This was the order from the Five Elders. In their opinion, since even the weapon was ineffective, it would be futile to continue fighting, so they simply chose to cut their losses.

This is in line with Zhan Guo's inner thoughts, but the premise is that he cannot admit failure in a live broadcast.

There are more than 100,000 people on the battlefield, and this news cannot be blocked, but the news that spreads afterwards can still be arguable. If the navy admits defeat in front of Den Den Mushi, then the navy will really lose face.

For a moment, Buggy, who was holding the Den Den Mushi, became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Beckman, do me a favor and go find Bucky for me. I told you what he looks like."

"Sha Yinna, Jin, you two should come too. Remember to bring the Den Den Mushi with you."

Shanks and Arceus gave orders to their subordinates one after another, planning to get the Den Den Mushi first, and Sengoku also gave new orders.

"Borsalino, go and bring Kuzan back. Send the messenger to inform everyone that the war is over, but be careful of the impact."

Before the video was cut off, the Navy could not announce the word of ceasefire to the world. This was the final bottom line.

If the top combat forces do not take action, the casualties caused by the battles among the lower-level personnel will be within an acceptable range. For the top leaders, the face of the navy is more important than the lives of some soldiers.

"Newgate, you heard it too. Now you can fight with confidence."

Kaido doesn't care what the final outcome of this war will be. He just wants to fight, a peak battle without any interference.

"Gulala, kid, don't complain if you die in my hands."

"Ugh, that only shows that I'm incompetent. Come on, Newgate, in this battle, it's either you die or I die!"

The biggest problem has been solved, and Kaido can't wait any longer.

Whitebeard had been fighting with Akainu and Kizaru before, but Kaido was also fighting with Sengoku and Zephyr. Both sides had paid a certain amount of physical effort, so it could be considered fair.

Arceus will not interfere in Kaido's battle, Red Hair will not participate due to the previous agreement, and the Navy will not stop them. For the Navy, the best ending is for Kaido and Whitebeard to die together.

So the remaining people just entered a state of guarding each other. As for the navy, they also had to control the aftermath of the battle between the two monsters so that they would not affect more areas.

......

After receiving Whitebeard's affirmative answer, Kaido's body began to move.

"Kaido, you are really impatient!"

Whitebeard waved the Kusukimi Sword in his hand and slashed it towards Kaido's head. Accompanied by bursts of wild laughter, Hachisai and Kusukimi Sword collided with each other.

There was no nonsense between the two men. They kept fighting with maces and swords in the simplest way. There was no fancy moves, only pure strength competition.

Whether it is Hachisaikai or Kusukimeki, they are both heavy weapons, and Whitebeard and Kaido are also men whose powers have reached the pinnacle.

The roar from the collision of knives and sticks was endless, but for the two of them, this was just the beginning.

"Hehe, Newgate, we are old acquaintances. This level of probing is unnecessary, right?"

"Gulala, that's true, you are no longer the little kid you were back then..."

A ball of white light appeared on the blade of the Kusukimi-ki in Whitebeard's hand. Under the vibrating light, the domineering aura of the king also radiated out like lightning.

Looking back, it was Whitebeard who conveyed Rocks' words and brought Kaido into the pirate group. Times have changed, and the little kid back then has become a monster of the same level as himself.

"Ugh, ugh. That's it. This is the kind of battle I want!"

Kaido's body began to swell, blue dragon scales wrapped around his entire body, and the domineering aura also appeared on his weapon.

"Great Weed Thunder Gossip!"

The lightning on the Eight Rings began to dissipate, and the ball of light formed by the Tremor-Tremor Fruit also exploded. If the people around them had not used their domineering aura to block the aftermath of their attack, Marinford would have really been razed to the ground.

Or rather, it was a basin. After all, the aftermath of Arceus's previous attack left a huge deep pit on the ground.

The two men's bodies remained standing during the attack, but the ground beneath their feet had reached its limit. The rocks began to crack, and the land beneath their feet quickly became dilapidated. It was completely impossible to tell that this was a glorious square just a few hours ago.

As more stones were crushed into powder by the impact, a large amount of dust rushed into the air. In the smoke and dust, Whitebeard leaped high, and Kusukimeki came at Kaido again with great force.

Although Kaido still blocked this attack, Whitebeard's attack was far more than this one.

Taking advantage of the recoil caused by the collision of weapons, Whitebeard came behind Kaido and punched out of thin air with a heavy punch.

The air was left with traces from his hammering, and the space was almost collapsed by this blow.

But Whitebeard knew very well that this was not enough. While sending out the shock wave, a vibrating force also appeared on Whitebeard's heels. Using the momentum of falling, Whitebeard kicked Kaido below.

The previous attacks were just sheep attacks, but the current attacks are real.

"Newgate, you are still as terrifying as you were back then, both in terms of strength and fighting spirit."

However, there was no panic in Kaido's tone, and an indestructible barrier had appeared around him.

"But this isn't the first time we've fought, you should still remember this!"

The absolute defense of the defense is relative. The upper limit of the defense can be different depending on the level of the user.

The power that young Whitebeard can burst out is naturally much more terrifying than old Whitebeard, but Kaido has not stood still over the years.

Compared to the last battle, Kaido has become stronger, and accordingly, the upper limit of his defense has become more terrifying. For him, it is not impossible to rely on the barrier face to receive the divine dodge.

Whitebeard has returned to his prime, but Kaido is constantly raising his ceiling.

"Of course I haven't forgotten, and you shouldn't forget that I have a way to attack you through your barrier!"

boom!

Whitebeard's attack was blocked outside by the barrier, but Whitebeard's attack did not disappear.

Under the influence of the vibration, the air guarding the rear also began to vibrate, spreading the damage to him with the vibration of space, and the vibration seemed to cause resonance in his body, causing damage to his body like high-level armament color.

This is the awakening of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which can bring the power of vibration to the extreme.

In this state, the vibration in space is like an extension of Whitebeard's hands and feet. Unless a barrier isolates another small world, Whitebeard's attack will be able to penetrate the barrier and attack the main body.

Kaido still remembered Whitebeard's fighting style, and Whitebeard also remembered Kaido's defense, so he didn't waste time and entered the awakening state directly after the battle began.

The island was affected by Whitebeard's ability. Under Whitebeard's relentless attack, a large number of cracks appeared on Marinford. The island even showed a tendency to split under the influence of the vibration.

The battle between Kaido and Whitebeard caused huge aftermath. Strong winds blew around them and the sky above their heads cracked again.

Since the beginning of the War of Marineford, the sky of Marinford has been plagued by misfortune.

Previously, Arceus' power left a cloud ring in the sky. The ring-shaped cloud floated in the sky like the boundary of the ring, but now the ring was cut off again by a knife.

"Agni Dragon Dance Bagua!"

The scorching dragon flames enveloped his body, especially the flames on the tail behind him were burning more fiercely. At the same time, his body was twisting slightly. As his body danced, Kaido's mace was swung towards Whitebeard again.

Anyone who has seen the Dragon Dance will not allow their opponent to use it again. Ordinary people will not even have the chance to use the Dragon Dance in front of Whitebeard as they will be ruthlessly interrupted by him.

But Kaido is different. As he becomes more and more familiar with Dragon Dance, he has already integrated this skill into the battle. Whether he is swinging or moving, he can use Dragon Dance in the process.

winter!

Even though Whitebeard's body was also attached with domineering aura, this blow still caused a muffled sound.

Although he was hit by Kaido, Whitebeard did not stop his attack. The Kusukimi Sword in his hand slashed down, leaving a string of sparks on the dragon scales on Kaido's shoulder.

The hard dragon scales and powerful domineering aura prevented him from breaking through the defense, but the force had already penetrated into his body. Both Kaido and Whitebeard mastered the highest level of armament color, and as long as they were hit, it would be impossible for them to be completely immune to the opponent's damage.

The attacks from both sides hit at the same time, but for Whitebeard, this was not a good deal.

Relying on the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Whitebeard has a certain advantage in attack power, but Kaido's defense and recovery ability are far superior to Whitebeard. If they hit the same opponent, even if Kaido is more seriously injured, Whitebeard will be the one who fails in the end.

Not to mention they're not playing a turn-based game.

Whitebeard's vibration requires the swing of his limbs to exert its power, but Kaido is different.

Besides the mace, he has other weapons on his body.

Not only that kind of equipment, but also that kind of fighting style is not what Kaido likes. For Kaido, the most trustworthy thing is still his own body.

Whitebeard's slash was blocked by Kaido's domineering, but the scales on Kaido's body suddenly stood up, and then those scales shot out like bullets, with powerful armament domineering attached to them.

Whitebeard's attack seemed to trigger anti-armor damage, but this was not counter-injury, but a skill that Kaido actively released.

The scale shooting attack of Dragon-type Pokémon is an advanced application of Dragon-type Pokémon's own scales. They can launch them as weapons, which can have unexpected effects in many cases.

Dense scales shot towards Whitebeard, leaving many bloodstains on his body. Then, bursts of white light emanated from his whole body, and the powerful vibration force bounced all the flying scales away.

"It's not over yet! Descend to the Third World! Induce Naraku: Dragon Scale Dance!"

Thunder, domineering, dragon power, at this moment Kaido used his strongest attack, even the air howled where the Eight Rings passed.

Whether it was the scales that were shot out before or the scales that were bounced away by Whitebeard, they were all formed into a whole under the traction of Kaido's Eight Precepts.

The wielding mace almost turned into a roaring evil dragon, using the powerful domineering color as his dragon breath, and launched his charge towards Whitebeard.

"Well done!"

Watching Kaido's attack and feeling the power of youth in his body, Whitebeard's heart became excited. At this time, he was no longer fighting for his son, but competing with a powerful opponent.

He doesn't like Kaido, but he can't deny that Kaido is a strong opponent. In Kaido, Whitebeard even found the feeling of fighting with Roger in the past. Indistinctly, he even felt that this junior was gradually surpassing Roger...

Chapter 999 You succumb to the times, and the times succumb to me

Dragon scales were flying, and Kaido's body became a lot lighter.

Scale Shot is a kind of armor-removing behavior for dragon-type Pokémon. They temporarily abandon scales in exchange for faster movement speed. This has no effect on their bodies. Given their physical fitness, the regeneration speed of scales is extremely fast, and it won't take long for them to recover.

This is even more true for Kaido. In this world, whether it is a broken bone or missing teeth, a glass of milk can restore it to its original state.

So for Kaido, the time to end this state depends entirely on himself. Whenever he wants to complete his defense, the missing scales will naturally be restored.

"Oh, by the way, your traitorous subordinate has been killed by my subordinates. The vitality of that alien is really strong enough."

During the fight, Kaido suddenly remembered Blackbeard and told Whitebeard about it.

"Gulala, thank you very much. But Kaido, your tone seems to indicate that you have me in your hands."

Blackbeard is dead, which is also good news for Whitebeard. The pirate who could brutally kill his companions is also a thorn in Whitebeard's side. If he is not dealt with, he will eventually be a disaster.

But Kaido's tone gave Whitebeard a strange feeling, as if he was afraid that Whitebeard would not leave with peace of mind, so he specifically told him the key things.

He admitted that Kaido was very strong, but this attitude still made him uncomfortable.

"Your character is not what Roger wants to see!"

boom!

With his fists, Whitebeard dispersed the scales fired by Kaido, and mentioned Roger again. Unknowingly, he had put the former trainee and the former Pirate King on the same level.

After Roger returned from Raftel, he had a long talk with Whitebeard and even planned to tell Whitebeard the route to Raftel. However, Whitebeard had never been interested in One Piece and rejected Roger's proposal.
