Not far from Marineford, on the Redfors, Shanks stared blankly at the live broadcast.
Whitebeard, as expected, failed.
But the cost was much more serious than he expected.
Their backbones were broken by the navy in front of the whole world. Countless pirates laid down their weapons and chose to surrender in order to survive. This scene was exposed in front of the whole world. The world will no longer have room for the "Whitebeard Pirates" group to survive.
No matter where they go, those who escape with their lives are just a bunch of lost dogs in the eyes of outsiders.
"Shanks, do we still need to go there?"
Beckman asked silently, biting his cigar.
If you really think about it, they and the Whitebeard Pirates are more enemies than friends. The purpose of coming here this time is more to collect Whitebeard's body, not to bear his corpse being exposed in the wilderness... and to end the war by the way.
But now, there is no need for them to show up, and the war is over.
Will the navy, which is holding on to the power of the victory, really not dare to start a war with the second four emperors of the new world, as planned, and hand over the bodies of Whitebeard and Ace to them
Shanks was unsure about this issue.
“…”
After a moment of silence, Shanks looked back at his crew, Beckman, Jesus Bu, Lachilu...
Suddenly he smiled freely and said: "What are you afraid of?"
"I'm Shanks! If the navy wants to fight, then let's fight!"
Hearing this, Beckman had a wry smile on his face.
Well, this is a natural result.
The one-armed man in front of me is the "most domineering man" in the world, "Red-haired" Shanks!
If even he dares not show up because of fear of the navy, that will be the real end of the pirates.
…
Naval Headquarters, Marineford.
The fleeing pirates fell down one after another, and the pirates were gone. Seeing this, Fan Oka controlled the power of the stone fruit to close the passage, and decisively chose to escape.
"No, bastard! Don't leave us!"
"Captain, help, Captain!"
"Damn it, I'll fight you...ah!!"
The unknown pirate who rushed back was chopped to death with one knife. The flying squirrel panted slightly and raised his head.
"Almost... everyone, surround them!"
Hearing this, the fighting soldiers took decisive action and formed an orderly encirclement network to surround the remaining group of guys in the center.
now.
In the grand square in front of the entire Marineford Fortress, corpses were strewn everywhere!
One after another, mutilated corpses fell to the ground, with blood flowing in them, piled up like mountains, and not even a clean foothold could be found, telling the world the cruelty of war.
The number of pirates brought by Whitebeard this time was as high as 50,000, of which less than 8,000 successfully escaped, and tens of thousands of pirates chose to surrender.
Tens of thousands more people fell to the butcher's knife of the navy's cavalry. After the fight, only the pirates in front of them, numbering less than three thousand, were still stubbornly resisting.
"Damn it, fight them!"
The surrounded pirates faced an enemy that was ten times their number. Some of them were so jealous that they didn't even consider rushing out. They were forced to a dead end and subconsciously resisted.
Then the navy swarmed up and hacked him to death.
The remaining people abandoned their armor in the face of desperate facts and chose to surrender.
When the last pirate fell to his knees, Kebi suddenly felt himself staggering and almost falling.
He looked up blankly at Ai Yin, who was holding his collar behind him.
"It's over Kebi, do you want to kill the prisoner?"
Ain shook his head and pointed at the pirate in front of him.
"I… "
Kebi's numb eyes suddenly brightened up. He looked back, and sure enough... the pirate kneeling in front of him was staring at him with frightened eyes. The standard long sword whose owner was unknown was far away from his neck. Only a few centimeters less.
And this sword is in his own hand!
A bone-deep scar stretched diagonally between the ring finger and the middle finger, and climbed up the back of the hand. The exposed flesh undulated like a mountain on the hand blurred by blood.
But I didn't know the pain at all.
Jingle bells…
The long sword, which smelled of rust, fell into a pool of blood and made a crisp impact on the stone slab.
"Ah...ah!!!"
Kebi trembled all over, lying on the ground and crying loudly, covering his hands, crying heartbreakingly.
To this.
Ai Yin sighed silently and did not comfort him.
This war, both in terms of height and cruelty, was the worst for the navy in the past twenty years.
In just a few hours, the blood of tens of thousands of people was spilled on the battlefield!
Not to mention a newcomer like Kebi, even she, who has been practicing for a long time, had the idea of giving up midway.
In matters like murder, even if there is a distinction between justice and the enemy, it is not so easy to overcome psychological barriers.
"but… "
Standing up, she looked at the dazzling figure in the distance like a flag, with a gentle smile on her lips.
"Won!"
No matter how tragic the war was, this was a brilliant victory!
As winners, at this moment, they just need to celebrate.
"Everyone!"
At this moment, Warring States straightened his back and stood in front of the team.
The bloodless cloak of justice made him look extremely clean. In the final battle of annihilation, some pirates rushed towards him like crazy, but from a distance, they were surrounded by nearby naval officers and chopped into pieces.
The loud shout attracted everyone's attention. Warring States looked directly at the bruised army, raised his arms and shouted: "Long live the Navy!"
"Long live the Navy!"
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
Amidst the earth-shattering roars of the survivors, the white flag of the seagull Libra representing the navy roared, spreading the joy of victory to the whole world and making the sound vibrate in all directions.
laugh…
Ron took his palm out of the chest of a pirate who was trying to hide, and when he heard the cheers outside, the corners of his mouth raised.
"finished?"
"It lasted longer than I thought!"
In the original book, after Ace was killed, Shanks followed closely... The war with Whitebeard was unexpected, causing the overall morale of the navy to be low, and Akainu suffered heavy losses and suffered heavy losses.
So the Warring States Period had to choose to give in.
The war at the top of the original work has a sense of déjà vu...it starts vigorously and ends unexpectedly.
But now, with his strong intervention, there are no surprises!
Both Whitebeard and Teach are completely reduced to backgrounds!
The navy's morale was like a rainbow, and it firmly grasped the rhythm of the war in its hands, and carried out the final step of the annihilation war.
"That's it...that's it!"
After the war ended, Ron's enthusiasm was waning.
He is a man who values process more than results, and the true meaning of living toward death is always engraved deep in his heart.
Just as he was about to turn around and return to the square, he suddenly raised his eyebrows. Skynet told him that a ship full of capable soldiers was approaching Marineford at high speed.
"Oh? You are indeed here!"
Ron smiled slightly, took a step forward, and disappeared.
In front of the square, Warring States was watching the soldiers cheering with a look of relief. Suddenly he felt a strong wave of domineering power and turned around suddenly.
"Shanks?!"
Noticing the pirate ship coming through the thick fog, Sengoku couldn't hide his surprise: "Why is he here?"
Didn’t the Five Old Stars ask him to keep an eye on Kaido in the new world to prevent him from sneaking up on him from behind
Aokiji and others also noticed the approaching Redfors. At this time, they all looked at each other and ducked to the front of the port.
"Stop here, redhead!"
Uh-huh!
The biting cold wind howled by and froze the sea.
Qing Pheasant stood on the ice with an indifferent expression: "If you don't want to die, I advise you to leave."
