Arceus' Pirate Journey

Not everyone believes that the beasts can win the war, and the Dragon Palace Kingdom gambles everything because of its own racial issues.

But for the human kingdom, one is a pirate group that was born less than forty years ago, and the other is a world government that stands at the top of the world and has ruled the ocean for eight hundred years. Many people still think that the world government has a greater chance of winning.

If the Beasts were defeated, they would definitely be liquidated. The World Government took advantage of this mentality and sent lobbyists to several kingdoms in the Beasts' territory before the war began.

However, they underestimated what happened at the Divine Grace Ceremony. The kings who witnessed all this became determined in their hearts.

Although those lobbyists persuaded some politicians or royal family members and caused civil unrest in some countries, they did not succeed and only affected some logistical issues.

"Father, you will regret this. The Navy and the World Government are coming to attack us. How can a pirate alliance fight against the World Government..."

"Your Majesty! The beastmen are coming!"

Before he could finish questioning the king's decision, the minister of the Kingdom of Damont brought new news.

"Please invite them in. Do I need to teach you this?"

"I did so, but he refused and just told us to inform the people to stay away from the houses and hide, because the war might have affected us..."

At the same time, on the coast of the Kingdom of Damont, Kuzan stood alone on a cliff by the sea, staring at the sea level in the distance. Until the familiar seagull flag appeared in his eyes, Kuzan sighed, and then resolutely jumped into the sea.

"ice ti!"

The ice layer spread over a thousand miles in an instant, spreading to the distance at an unimaginable speed, and in an instant froze the warships on the sea.

"Kuzan, you...did you make it this far?"

On the warship, thick smoke billowed out of Akainu's body, and his magma-like body directly burned the cigar in the corner of his mouth.

Akainu's order was to bypass the New World and cross the Calm Belt from the West Sea to raid the heartland of the Beasts. He didn't expect that there would be such an opponent waiting for him here.

Although they were far apart, Akainu and Kuzan had already seen each other, and a fateful battle broke out again...

Chapter 1357: Laziness and Absoluteness, the Missing Kaido

"Marshal Sakaski! The sea is frozen!"

"I saw it. Has our whereabouts been detected? Or has the intelligence been leaked..."

Looking at the frozen sea, Akainu had a solemn expression. Even though he was the admiral of the navy and had always advocated the elimination of all pirates, he was initially opposed to such a brutal war.

Akainu can accept casualties among his soldiers, but cannot accept a battle that seems almost unwinnable.

Kuzan confirmed his defection, Garp surrendered first, the Revolutionary Army was in turmoil everywhere, and it was stupid to take the initiative to attack the enemy's territory facing the chaotic sea.

As for Coby, he was too weak and had been ignored by Akainu. Now he was not capable of influencing the situation on the battlefield.

However, the Five Elders had already made up their minds, and Akainu's objections were nothing to them.

The only good news for Akainu is that this time the World Government did not just stand by and watch, but also sent out a large fleet.

The sea beast weapons were composed of the sea beast controllers left by Vegapunk, the Pacifist Corps supplemented some of the manpower, and the remaining fleet also had corresponding arrangements.

In order to deal with Charlotte Linlin, Fujitora prepared huge rocks to build a temporary battlefield. In order to deal with Red Hair, he specially formed a slave army to serve as cannon fodder.

However, according to the situation that Hefa came to him, the battle was not going smoothly. They had achieved considerable results against Red Hair and Charlotte Linlin in the early stage, but when Shanks and Charlotte Linlin reacted, the battle situation became stalemate.

These monsters in the sea are all people with domineering colors. If they don’t win in the battle of top combat power, relying solely on being cannon fodder is purely a waste of time.

At the very beginning, the crane even started a defensive tug-of-war with the beasts.

As of five minutes ago, Akainu had not received any news about Arceus, Kaido, and Yamato appearing on the battlefield. This was what worried him the most. After all, he didn't know how many cards the World Government had left to deal with the Beasts.

【You just need to execute your orders, and we will take care of the rest. 】

This was the answer given by the Five Elders in response to Akainu's questioning.

The decision to launch a surprise attack on the hinterland from the West Sea was also made after careful consideration. Logically speaking, the three battlefields were enough to attract firepower, and the defense of the hinterland could not be as strong as usual at this time.

After all, the Navy and the World Government have mobilized heavy troops and a large number of elite troops, so it is impossible for the pirates not to send their main forces over.

As long as this assault team can achieve results, the front-line team can at least tie up the pirates even if they cannot wipe them out, making it impossible for the enemy to take care of both ends.

This raid mission is very important. If Garp were still there, Akainu would consider letting him lead the fleet. Whether in terms of strength or the boost to morale from his reputation, Garp is capable of taking on the task.

However, reality no longer supported him to do so. After some thought, Akainu became the one who led the fleet personally.

Without top-level combat power leading the team, it’s not a raid, it’s called delivering a courier.

It doesn't matter that Akainu is not in charge of mobilizing the troops. Among all the forces participating in the war, the most capable ones are fighting against others. This is a world where personal bravery can change the situation of war. No matter how well the strategy is arranged, the prerequisite is that the strong must win the battle.

Once an uncontrolled fighting force is released, it will have a devastating impact on the battle.

The battle situation at He's place was in a stalemate, which was due to the fact that neither side's top combat forces had appeared, which was a decisive factor.

However, Akainu felt that this action had a higher success rate, and he was not a reckless general who only knew how to attack head-on.

Compared to the numerous spies of the Sea Emperor in the New World, the Four Seas are a place where they have little influence. After all, the powerful pirates have been attracted to the Grand Line, and only the Revolutionary Army has frequent operations in the Four Seas.

According to Akainu's judgment, this operation should not be discovered. If the pirates' reinforcements want to arrive, it will take at least two days due to the complicated situation in the sea.

However, as soon as the fleet appeared, the sea was frozen, which clearly meant it was waiting for them.

There is more than one person who has the ability to use ice among all beasts, but the one that impressed Akainu the most is still the old acquaintance in front of him.

"Kuzan, did you predict the actions of the navy?"

As a former admiral, Kuzan is familiar with the navy's fighting style. Although he joined the navy later than Akainu and Kizaru, they are also monsters from the same period. Kuzan also understands the habits of people like Sengoku and Tsuru.

In a sense, it is not impossible that Kuzan could predict the action. On the premise that Kuzan leaked the information, it is also possible that Baishou focused on investigating the surrounding environment.

What Akainu didn't know was that in the consciousness network world that he couldn't see, a traitor appeared in this fleet.

"you promise?"

"I promise you can't even imagine my life now. Why are we willing to be treated as phones by humans? Isn't it just to lie flat?"

This is the communication network of Den Den Mushi, an area that humans cannot reach. Over the years, the Ammonite has also developed a complex snail network. Of course, there are many snails that it does not know, but sometimes only one is needed to achieve its goal.

"There is a human marshal on my ship, and my position is approximately..."

Den Den Mushi are a kind of magical creatures. Because being raised by humans can reduce the difficulty of their survival, this species likes to be captured and believes that they have a symbiotic relationship with humans.

There are Den Den Mushi on all the warships, and whether Polyspinymon can contact them is purely a matter of probability, depending on whether it can find the Den Den Mushi with the help of connections.

The Den Den Mushi themselves don't care who the user is, as long as they can keep them, so under the temptation of Polyspiny Ammon, Akainu's route of action was exposed to the sight of all the beasts.

Even the inducement is not even a drop in the bucket for the beasts. It is just raising one more snail, which can be said to be a no-cost business.

"Marshal Sakaski, there is only one enemy, it's... it's Kuzan, what should we do next?"

Only Kuzan could be seen on the frozen sea, and behind him it was quiet and empty, as if there was only one person, but Akainu didn't believe that.

At this time, the team had a total of twenty large warships, and more than a hundred large and small warships.

Although I don't know how he did it specifically, but since Kuzan was able to freeze them here, he must have received the intelligence in advance. No matter how arrogant he is, he shouldn't have done this alone.

"Provide fire coverage and clear out any places on the island where troops may be ambushed."

After estimating the approximate distance, Akainu gave the order to cover the target with artillery fire. If the naked eye couldn't see it, then use cannons to find it. The cannons on the warship were used for this purpose.

boom!

After two cannon shots, two large holes were blown in the ice behind Kuzan, but this was not enough to stop Kuzan.

"Marshal Sakaski, the distance is too far, the range of the ship's guns is not enough!"

"Did Kuzan, that bastard... calculate it in advance?"

At this time, the warship had been frozen and temporarily lost the ability to move, but the Kingdom of Damont was just outside the maximum range of the artillery.

"Marshal Sakaski, the troops are ready to land. Shall we proceed?"

The ice restricted the movement of warships, but it also provided the navy with a new foothold. When Kuzan was still in the navy, this was also the most common means of landing for the navy.

Although the generals of that time have passed away, the old soldiers are still here, and the tactics have not been forgotten.

"Wait a minute, I have a feeling something is wrong. If the shells are not far enough, let me do it."

Akainu came to the main gun of the warship and stepped directly on the front gun barrel.

"Meteor volcano!"

With his fists raised above his head, magma surged over his body. Countless giant magma fists flew into the sky, drew an arc, and fell towards the direction of the Kingdom of Damont.

The hot magma seemed to ignite the sky, and the doomsday scene could be seen from the Kingdom of Damont.

The nearby sea surface is covered with ice created by Kuzan. Based on Akainu's understanding of Kuzan, the thickness of the ice that can prevent warships from moving is so thick that even ordinary fishmen cannot break it.

What's more, all the strong men of the murloc tribe have already shown up, so there should be no powerful murlocs here that can pose a threat to them.

If it is one of the sea beasts among the beasts, the army with a foothold will also be able to fight back.

So if there is an enemy lurking, it should be on the island behind him.

In order to reduce casualties caused by pirate ambushes, there is nothing wrong with attacking the island in the first step. Even if it causes the deaths of some non-member country citizens, it is better than allowing their own soldiers to be attacked by surprise.

"Sakaski, it really fits your behavior, but everything is different now..."

A blue metal ball appeared in Kuzan's hand. It looked to be half the size of his body, but it seemed weightless in Kuzan's hand. He threw it lightly and it flew into the air.

"Extremely cold storm."

There is a bag-like opening at the front end of the metal ball. As the closed metal opening opened, a cold current instantly surged into the sky. Combined with Kuzan's own ability, the extremely cold air flow seemed to form a sky curtain.

As the cold continued to spread outward, the magma bombs released by Akainu gradually lost their heat and turned into magma rocks after cooling.

The moisture in the air attached to it and condensed into ice due to Kuzan's ability. After being added with more weight, Akainu's attack landed earlier, and countless pieces of gravel smashed onto the ice surface.

Akainu's tentative attack was resolved by Kuzan, and the first confrontation between the two came to an end, but Kuzan's behavior seemed to further indicate that there was a problem on the island.

“Send out the pacifists, with the vanguard following behind the pacifists, and the lieutenant general spread out in the center of the force, attacking the island from both wings in a dispersed formation and occupying the island.

Kuzan, I'll handle it."

Akainu didn't have much time to make meaningless attempts. His mission was to launch a surprise attack, not to engage in a positional battle with others. It would not be good for him to drag it out too long. At least before more troops belonging to the Hundred Beasts gathered, he had to occupy a suitable foothold.

......

Magma cannot fly like light, but Akainu's movement speed is not much slow. After Kuzan noticed Akainu's movements, he also stopped and stood there waiting for him. Both of them knew that the person opposite them was their opponent.

On the ice, the two men faced each other silently, and everything seemed to be the same as it had been more than a year ago.

"Kuzan, it looks like you've taken a very wrong path. I never thought you would degenerate into a pirate."

"Ala, the only thing I don't want you to say is that we are not on the same path."

Scratching his head, Kuzan started chatting with Sakaski as if reminiscing about the past. Facing his questioning, Kuzan did not refute anything, but still expressed his disagreement with Sakaski.

"I think you are lazy and hesitant, but you once walked on the path of justice. But now, you are going against justice. If I had known this would happen, I should not have let you leave alive. I should have nipped you in the bud as a destroyer of justice."

"Is this your impression of me? It's better than I thought. But is your justice your own justice or the justice of the World Government?

I originally thought you were a radical, but since that day with O'Hara, I realized something. But it doesn't matter. People in different positions have different perceptions of justice. As positions change, justice will also change.

I will not question the justice of others, but your justice cannot hinder my justice. You are trying to use your standards to hold everyone hostage, which is simply unrealistic. "

Kuzan's body began to change, in addition to the weapon that released the arctic storm before, red and white metallic colors also began to attach to his body.

As a colleague for many years, Akainu knew very well that Kuzan did not have this ability. Combined with the intelligence provided by Drake, it was self-evident where this power came from.

"You all say you are righteous, but you all violate justice. Garp, Dragon, and you, all of you are like this...

You have given up justice for the sake of power, so what qualifications do you have to talk about justice? "

"You got one thing wrong. I have never betrayed my justice. It's just that my justice is not the justice you agree with.

You also got one thing wrong. It's not because the power gave up its original persistence, but that only after stepping out of the self-contained circle can you see something different. Maybe what the dragon did at the beginning was right.

There is no point in saying more. You should have known a year ago that neither of us could convince the other. Now that we are here, there is only one outcome. "

"You are right, and this time, I will not hold back. You were no match for me a year ago, and you are no match for me now."

"That's not necessarily true, Sakaski. I will return the enthusiasm you had back then."

boom!

Their fists collided, and the two who had been in a "friendly exchange" before now swung their fists at the enemy at the same time. Thick smoke rose from behind Sakaski, and Akainu released his terrifying destructive power like an erupting volcano.

But just a fist away, snowflakes were floating, the wind was cold and the snow was flying all over the sky. With Akainu and Kuzan as the dividing line, the world had been divided into two halves.

......

The extreme cold and extreme heat are colliding, but Akainu can sense something unusual. In their confrontation a year ago, Kuzan was at a disadvantage. Although Kuzan's ice has the ability to freeze natural volcanoes, Akainu's magma is far more powerful than conventional volcanoes.

But this time it was different. Kuzan's ice was no longer a simple resistance, nor was it a confrontation, but a reversal!
