Chapter 89 The Jealous Women
"Humph, you're really in a mess, General Akainu, you can't do anything about this new kid?"

Crocodile was gloating. Ever since he was defeated by Luffy, he liked seeing others being humiliated more and more.

It's a pity that there is this annoying guy named Marco now. Even someone as arrogant as Crocodile has to admit that Marco is definitely a strong man who is no less powerful than him.

If Marco hadn't been involved, he would have been able to mock Akainu even more unscrupulously.

"Hmph, you are Crocodile, who was expelled from the Seven Warlords of the Sea. You once dared to challenge Whitebeard, but now you have fallen to the point where you are willing to wag your tail and beg for mercy from the brats of the Whitebeard Pirates in order to escape from Impel Down?"

After his initial anger, Akainu quickly calmed down and began to sow discord between Crocodile and the Whitebeard Pirates.

His first target is Fire Fist Ace, followed by Phoenix Marco, and finally Straw Hat Boy Luffy.

The first two are members of the Whitebeard Pirates. As long as they can squeeze Crocodile and make him unable to lower himself and join forces with the Whitebeard Pirates, there is still a possibility of destroying Fire Fist Ace and Phoenix Marco.

Akainu was able to instigate the giant vortex spider Squard to betray Whitebeard. His wisdom and tactics are definitely not a weakness, and he almost succeeded with just a few words.

"Crocodile, don't forget the secret that Ivankov knows!"

But at this moment, Luffy suddenly came to his senses and shouted loudly at Crocodile, who was standing in the air with an angry look on his face and seemed to be really caught by Akainu.

"Asshole! That bastard Ivankov! Damn shemale! Did he tell you that secret?!"

Crocodile almost fell from mid-air when he heard the sound.

At this moment, he really wanted to kill the person to silence him, but he and his subordinate MR1 owed the Straw Hat Boy a huge favor, even a life.

If it was Crocodile at the time of Baroque Works, he would definitely not hesitate at all when taking action.

But to be honest, he really can't bring himself to kill Luffy now.

Unless he could repay the favor someday, he really couldn't do anything about this little bastard.

"No, little Ivan didn't tell me anything~"

Luffy said no while whistling, and his gangster look made Crocodile guess himself whether he knew it or not.

"...Go to hell! Akainu! Desert Diamond Sword!"

Crocodile fell silent, but after a moment of silence, he suddenly attacked, and his target was directly at Akainu who was confronting the trio.

"Crocodale!"

Akainu released a large amount of lava to swallow the sand. At this moment, Sakaski was really angry. The reason for his anger was not that Sand Crocodile dared to provoke him, but that he lost the last chance to kill Fire Fist Ace and Phoenix Marco.

"Haha! Let me help you!"

Luffy couldn't help but cheer out loud. When Crocodile made his move, anyone who was not stupid could see how furious Akainu was.

"No need! Get out of here! Leave Akainu to me! I'm going to take his head off!"

Crocodile controlled a large amount of sand to flow towards Akainu, and at the same time looked down at Ace and Marco with an extremely arrogant attitude, as if he wanted to express that he still disliked the Whitebeard Pirates, and that he took action because of the Straw Hat Kid, and it had nothing to do with Ace and Marco.

"Huh? But..."

Before Luffy could refuse, he was covered by the smiling Marco's hand.

"You are indeed a powerful pirate who can rival my father. Now I'll leave Akainu in your hands!"

Although Marco didn't know what secrets Luffy had mastered about Crocodile, he was prepared to fight Akainu to the death, giving Ace and Luffy a chance to escape.

Now there is a victim... A good man stepped forward to take the blame, which was naturally what Marco wanted most.

"Humph! Get out of here now! Don't get in my way!"

Crocodile's mouth twitched, and he regretted saying such arrogant words, but now it was a bit embarrassing to say soft words and ask Marco to stay and help.

Seeing Marco turning into a phoenix and grabbing Luffy and Ace and flying away, Crocodile felt depressed but also felt that he had put an end to a worry.

Helping to fend off a powerful enemy like Akainu would definitely be enough to offset the favor that Straw Hat Luffy did for rescuing him from the Deep Sea Prison.

"Pluto!"

The furious Akainu stretched out his lava-like arm and punched Crocodile directly on the head.

If you can't kill the Phoenix and the Fire Fist, then use the Sand Crocodile's head as a substitute!

"I want to see how powerful the admiral of the navy is! Desert Sword!"

Crocodile also became angry and swung out a giant sand blade, trying to chop off Akainu's fist.

However, Crocodile underestimated the power of Akainu's fist. The lava fist directly defeated the sand blade and "smashed" Crocodile's head at an astonishing speed.

Fortunately, Crocodile is also a nature-type devil fruit user. Although the attack power of the Sand-Sand Fruit is far less than that of the Magma Fruit, they are the same in terms of elementalization.

"Erosion of reincarnation!"

The angry Crocodile was ready to fight Akainu seriously. Under the erosion and weathering of the Sand-Sand Fruit, the ground around the execution platform quickly dried up, cracked and crumbled into sand.

For users of natural devil fruits, the more suitable the environment is for them to fight, the stronger their ability will be.

For example, in the desert of Alabasta, Crocodile completely defeated Straw Hat Luffy unilaterally. However, when they arrived at the royal tomb of the Nefertari family, Crocodile, who faced Luffy again, was defeated incredibly.

This was certainly because Luffy found a way to fight Crocodile, but another reason was that Crocodile was too arrogant and the fighting environment was not favorable to him.

When the battlefield was in the desert, Crocodile even had the courage to challenge the admiral of the navy...

Whether he can win or not is another matter, but at least he dares to try.

"You are overestimating yourself! Lava waterfall!"

Akainu sneered. He naturally saw through Crocodile's intention at a glance. Unfortunately, with this little advantage in terrain, it would be purely courting death to want to fight against him.

With his strength, if he wanted to, he could even turn the entire Marinford into a sea of ​​fire in a short period of time. There was no need to slowly erode it like Crocodile.

However, Akainu will not give Crocodile time to continue expanding his geographical advantages. Even though Crocodile is given a desert, it will not pose a threat to him.

But Marinford is the headquarters of the navy. If Crocodile continues to destroy it, where will the navy's face be?

The scorching lava waterfall rushed towards Crocodile like a tsunami. Crocodile, who only had time to convert part of the ground into sand and gravel, could only bite the bullet and drive the surging sand waves to crash into it.

Unfortunately, the gap in size between the two was too great, and the sand waves only resisted for less than a few seconds before being swallowed up by the seemingly endless lava waterfall.

Then the lava waterfall turned into big hands and grabbed Crocodile, who had a grim look on his face.

Feeling the scorching temperature of those lava hands, Crocodile had to release more sand and gravel to prevent them from approaching him.

"Big fire-breathing!"

Akainu wants to defeat Crocodile as soon as possible, and maybe even kill the execution target, Fire Fist Ace, before Marco and Ace escape from Marinford.

In Sakaski's eyes, even the Phoenix Marco could leave Marinford alive, but only Ace, the Fire Fist, who had Roger's sinful blood flowing in his veins, had to die in the Marine Headquarters no matter what.

Otherwise, the Navy would have used such a huge force but still failed to execute Fire Fist Ace. Such a result would have been a heavy blow to the Navy's dignity.

"Desert Diamond Sword!"

Although it was already quite difficult to resist those lava hands, Crocodile didn't want to experience what it felt like to be hit by Akainu's full force.

The sand blade of the Desert Sword, which was four times more powerful, slashed towards the huge lava fist. However, Crocodile, with a serious expression, did not notice the disdainful sneer on Akainu's face.

'boom! ’

The Sand Blade was once again swallowed by the lava. What Crocodile did not expect was that the devil fruit he was so proud of was so vulnerable in front of Akainu.

"Armed and domineering!"

Crocodile growled in hatred. At this moment, he realized that he relied too much on the power of the devil fruit.

It is true that natural devil fruits are indeed very powerful, but once the opponent is a devil fruit user with the same or even stronger ability, the outcome of the battle is often determined by factors other than the devil fruit.

What’s funny is that just a few minutes ago, he saved the Straw Hat Boy like a god, but now he is about to fall into a desperate situation just like the Straw Hat Boy at that time.

Logically speaking, with Crocodile's strength, if he just focused on maneuvering, even Akainu would find it difficult to defeat him.

It was just that the arrogant Sand Crocodile wanted to see how big the gap was between himself and the top strong men, and the result was naturally tragic.

"Storm Dragon Claw Fist·Dragon King Breath!"

However, just when Crocodile was ready to fight to the death and leave a deep impression on Akainu, a gust of wind blew, and Drago, wearing a tattered suit, stood between Crocodile and Akainu.

The violent wind pressure pushed Akainu's lava fist back. Dragon, who was beaten badly by his father, seemed to be at ease when facing Akainu.

"Dorag!"

Akainu roared in anger while braving the strong wind. This battle had been so frustrating until now. Every time he set his sights on a target, a guy would pop up to disrupt the situation.

At first, he wanted to kill Dragon and seize the pure gold, but was stopped by Drocas. He wanted to kill Fire Fist Ace and Phoenix Marco, but was stopped by Crocodile. He wanted to kill Crocodile, but Dragon stood up and stopped him.

Not to mention that Akainu has a bad temper. Even if it were Borsalino and Kuzan, who have good tempers, they would probably be so angry that they want to kill someone.

However, Dragon didn't want to have a conflict with Akainu at all. He just didn't want to fight with his father, so when he saw Crocodile, he helped him.

To be honest, if it weren’t for Crocodile, Luffy would be in danger now.

"Well, it looks like the winner has been decided..."

Borsalino, who was standing in front of the Marine Headquarters, suddenly spoke.

This time it was not that he wanted to slack off, but the Five Elders were determined not to allow him to continue participating in the war, even if Borsalino was willing to hand over the pure gold first.

After all, in Marinford at this moment, there is no place safer than Borsalino's side, and few people are more capable of protecting pure gold than Borsalino.

As soon as Borsalino finished speaking, the ice storm covering a corner of Marinford Square suddenly dissipated. Esdeath, wearing pure white combat boots and dragging the mane of Drocas, who was almost twice as tall as her, with one hand, walked out of the dissipating ice storm.

[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: Wow! Queen Esdeath really won! ]

[Orochimaru: Haha, this is really exciting. I can’t wait to start researching...]

[Tony Stark: It was a truly astonishing war, but the weapons they used were so outdated.]

[Tony Stark: If we fully replace all of our weapons with Stark Industries' advanced weapons, we will surely be able to easily wipe out all of the pirates! ]

[Fubuki: What a terrifying world! Even a dragon-level disaster is nothing in this world...]

[Grayfield Ai: After this war is over, I will be able to find a chance to go there and become an adult again.]

[Kobayashi: Well, actually there is nothing wrong with being a child. Sometimes I also want to be as carefree as Kanna...]

[Fubuki: I am really looking forward to it. When Ai-chan recovers, we can go shopping together! ]

[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng’s thigh: Oh, I also want to become stronger, and then go to other group members’ worlds to play~]

[Orochimaru: @If passers-by who want to hug Luo Feng's thighs are willing to try human body transformation, they will become stronger quickly. ]

[Tony Stark: Hey, friend, maybe you can consider the Iron Man suit. The advanced version only costs 10,000... no, how about 5,000 dimensional coins? ]

[Grayfield Ai: So cheap? Can you get back your costs?]

[Tony Stark: Of course, don't underestimate Stark Industries' cost control! ]

[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: @大蛇丸 No, I am very satisfied with my body and do not want to experience human body transformation. ] [A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: @Tony Stark is poor and cannot afford it! ]

[Tony Stark: You can pay in installments. How about I lend you the money at the bank's lowest interest rate? ]

[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: No, no, it's painful enough to have a mortgage before traveling through time, and it's crazy to have to take out a loan for a battle suit after traveling through time.]

……

"My dear, I'll take this guy away. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Esdeath looked at Nami and Baby-5 beside Borsalino with a little curiosity, but soon lost interest in these two frail women.

In her eyes, only the truly strong ones are worthy of attention. In Esdeath's eyes, Nami and Baby-5 are at best Borsalino's pets.

"Mr. Borsalino, who is this woman?!"

Little Nami could clearly feel Esdeath's indifference and disdain. This hateful white-browed woman didn't take her and Baby-5 seriously at all!

Whenever it comes to women related to Borsalino, Nami becomes particularly courageous.

Even though she knew that Esdeath could crush her to death with just one finger, she still stared at Esdeath without giving in.

"Well, Esdeath is a female general from a certain empire. I invited her to help eliminate the pirates."

Borsalino coughed dryly and signaled little Nami to hold back, otherwise if she angered Esdeath and got punished, he couldn't easily side with Nami.

What's more, Nami has Gion behind her. If Gion knew that Esdeath bullied Nami, and the two women who could compete for the top position in his harem would fight, to be honest, Borsalino would have a hard time defending him.

"Female general?"

Nami looked at Esdeath with some suspicion, but she had to admit that the woman in front of her with long sky-blue hair did have a military temperament.

The key is that the strength shown by Esdeath was too terrifying. She defeated and even captured Drokas one-on-one. Such strength is even enough to be on par with the navy admirals.

Nami is just a little willful at times, but she would never try to make Borsalino pay for her willfulness.

Although Nami is still unhappy with Esdeath in her heart, she will not choose to go against Esdeath.

"Dear, we have time now, why don't we continue what we were doing before."

Esdeath casually traded Drocas to Orochimaru in the live broadcast room, and then spoke to Borsalino with great interest.

Since she parted ways with Borsalino last time, she has collected a large number of novels and literary works related to love with the help of Niu.

She was just waiting to have a good love affair with Borsalino. Of course, she had no objection if Borsalino wanted to get on the bus first and buy the ticket later. She was also very curious about the things between men and women.

"Well, there are too many people now, wait until the war is over..."

Borsalino coughed dryly. Esdeath's style was too aggressive, even someone as shameless as Borsalino couldn't stand it.

Of course, the main reason is that he still wants to maintain his image in front of the group members and does not want to expose his true identity too early.

After all, Borsalino still has some idol baggage, and it would be good if he could maintain his image as the big boss in the group for one more day.

"Lord Porusalino~"

But at this moment, Hancock, who dominated the battlefield, finally discovered Borsalino's whereabouts.

She didn't care that the navy and the pirates were still fighting, and she crossed the battlefield with her pet snake and threw herself into Borsalino's arms.

"who are you?"

Esdeath felt very unhappy that her position was being squeezed out. She didn't care about "little pets" like Nami and Baby-5 who didn't pose any threat at first glance.

However, she could not ignore the fact that Hancock was her better competitor in terms of figure and appearance, and even her strength made her feel somewhat threatened.

"Master Borsalino, who is this woman?"

Hancock frowned and looked Esdeath up and down with her beautiful eyes. A woman's natural sixth sense made her instinctively feel a strong hostility towards this woman of unknown origin.

"She is Esdeath, a female general from a certain empire..."

Borsalino was a little scratching his head. Fortunately, Gion went to chase the escaped prisoner. Otherwise, if the three women got together and really fought, they would probably reduce Marinford to ruins.

Even the golden lion Shiki who attacked Marinford could only be pinned to the ground in front of the luxurious lineup of Gion, Esdeath, and Hancock.

"I am your dear personal slave girl!"

Esdeath took Borsalino's arm without hesitation. After reading the romance novels that Niu found for her, the ice queen thought she had found the secret of love.

"What?! No! I want to be Master Borsalino's personal slave too!"

Hancock held Borsalino's other hand and glared at Esdeath.

"Actually, I am Master Borsalino's personal maid..."

Baby-5 muttered quietly, but was so frightened by the terrifying gazes of the two older sisters that she didn't even dare to raise her head. She shrank behind Nami and trembled.

Just when Borsalino was in a dilemma, Ace and Luffy were taken to a safe place by Marco.

"Gulala! Sengoku, your execution has failed!"

Whitebeard laughed loudly. He couldn't wait to take Ace and the others away from Marinford.

But this guy Zhan Guo will definitely not let him get his wish easily. The difficulty of taking his sons away is no less than rescuing Ace.

"Let's wait until you can escape from the Marine Headquarters! Shockwave!"

Marshal Zhan Guo snorted. Although the execution plan had failed, the navy that obtained the pure gold was not completely empty-handed. At least when facing the Five Elder Stars, the pure gold in Borsalino's hand was more than enough to get by.

However, the arrogant Marshal Warring States obviously did not want the execution to end in a whimper, and those bastards in the Revolutionary Army have not cut off the live broadcast signal until now.

If he was rescued by the Whitebeard Pirates and escaped unscathed, where would his face be and where would the dignity of the navy be?
The shock wave emitting golden light was incredibly powerful and could easily sink a large warship with one strike. Even Whitebeard found it difficult to resist.

Compared to the seriously ill Whitebeard, Marshal Sengoku, who had no worries, was obviously in much better condition and actually had the upper hand in the duel between the two.

This was almost unimaginable in the past. Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world, has never been defeated in a true one-on-one fight.

Marshal Sengoku, who realized this, also became excited. Although he did not care much about the false title of the strongest in the world, it seemed that it was worth his hard work in planning this war if he could win the title of the strongest for the navy before he was about to retire.

However, this degree of advantage is far from enough to turn into victory, especially since Whitebeard is also experienced and has fought many battles. When he noticed Marshal Sengoku's idea, he even took the opportunity to expose a flaw, took advantage of Marshal Sengoku's mistake, and regained the initiative.

"Gulala! Is that all? Sengoku!"

Whitebeard laughed wildly, and he even began to enjoy fighting and slaughtering with the navy, which made him feel like he was back in his youth.

Especially since his opponent is a Marshal of the Warring States Period who is no less powerful than him, isn't it a good thing to have a good fight with such a strong enemy when his life is about to end?
The large pheasant sword Kusukumokiri was wielded with great vigor in Whitebeard's hand. Marshal Sengoku, who had finally gained a slight advantage, was forced to retreat again and again by Whitebeard who suddenly went berserk.

The attack power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is unparalleled in the world. Even Marshal Sengoku does not dare to experience the consequences of being cut by Kusakumo who has the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

"Dad! Let me help you!"

Just as Marshal Sengoku was becoming more and more frightened, Ace and Marco, who had just escaped, took the initiative to rush towards the battlefield where Whitebeard was.

Marshal Sengoku almost cursed out loud when he saw this scene. He was not confident that he could defeat Whitebeard in a one-on-one fight. Now with the addition of two troublesome guys, Ace and Marco, even Marshal Sengoku could not hold on.

"Get lost! I'm not old enough to need my son's help!"

Fortunately, Whitebeard directly drove away the two little bastards. He is Whitebeard. If he was reduced to relying on his numbers to beat the few, how could he be qualified to bear the title of the strongest!
After Ace and Marco were driven away by their father, they could only shift their target to other navy officers.

What Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world, owns is naturally the strongest pirate group in the world!
Coupled with the main force of the Revolutionary Army and the hundreds of jailbreaks that escaped from Impel Down, even the 100,000 elite troops of the Navy Headquarters seemed a little overwhelmed in the face of so many powerful enemies.

The key is that most of the Seven Warlords of the Sea do not put in any effort. Even Moria, who is determined to collect more corpses and shadows, realizes that it is not as comfortable to sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor as to create corpses.

Anyway, both the navy and the pirates are trying their best to send their opponents to hell. With Moria's strength, as long as he is not targeted by those captains, he can collect corpses unscrupulously.

The battle between the two sides became more and more brutal, and the number of casualties was almost rising rapidly. Even the vice admirals of the Navy Headquarters and the captains of the pirate groups under Whitebeard could not avoid being killed in such a fierce battle.

Especially the giant vice admirals of the navy. Their huge size made them as eye-catching as little Oz, and they all became the target of concentrated fire.

Soon, except for the female giant lieutenant general Vivian, the rest of the giant lieutenant generals fell to the ground seriously injured.

However, the coalition forces of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army were not in a much better situation. More than sixteen pirate captains from Whitebeard's pirate group had been killed in battle, and the Revolutionary Army's Southern Army Commander Lindbergh and two deputy commanders were seriously injured and had to withdraw from the battlefield.

Just as the battle in Marinford was in full swing and hundreds of thousands of people were engaged in an endless bloody battle, a pirate ship well-known in the New World appeared off the coast of Marinford.

The Red Force!
The flagship of the Red Hair Pirates. When it appears, it means that the Pirate Emperor Red Hair Shanks and all the members of his Red Hair Pirates are present.

"Hey, it looks like the fight is going to be intense..."

Shanks stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the square of Marinford. Although it was still some distance away from being a place where corpses were strewn everywhere and blood flowed like a river, if the fighting continued, it was only a matter of time before these two adjectives would appear for both sides.

The main reason is that people in the pirate world are too tough. As long as they don't encounter too strong enemies or get hit in vital parts, they can be fine after just three or five hits.

Orochimaru in the live broadcast room was drooling at those "ordinary people" who looked like they had suffered fatal injuries, but who were able to rush forward and continue fighting after being bandaged.

What a high-quality experimental subject this is! It is absolutely suitable for human experiments and may even be reused.

Unfortunately, the trading system of the dimensional chat group cannot trade living people. Apart from the group members themselves, only "animals" like summoned beasts can go to other worlds through the trading system.

Drocas, who was still alive, was traded to Orochimaru by Esdeath. What appeared in front of Orochimaru was a corpse that was deader than dead.

With the tenacious vitality of a top-level strong man, he would not die so quickly even if he was seriously injured.

Unfortunately, the trading system of the dimensional chat group does not allow loopholes, otherwise Borsalino would have been able to perform a lot of fancy operations.

"Stop them now?"

Lachi Lu chewed the barbecue in big mouthfuls. Logically speaking, the war between the navy and the Whitebeard Pirates had nothing to do with the Red Hair Pirates.

Unfortunately, the captain of the Red Hair Pirates, Shanks, is a well-known troublemaker in the New World. Wherever there is a dispute, the Red Hair Pirates can be seen.

It seemed as if his purpose of going out to sea was to stop the fight. Not to mention Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, the two pirate emperors who were obsessed with dominating the sea, even Whitebeard couldn't stand him.

"Of course, otherwise our trip would be in vain!"

Shanks spoke without hesitation. With such an annoying personality, he could still be alive and well on the sea, which was enough to prove that the strength of the Red Hair Pirates was indeed well-deserved.

"It's not easy. The Navy and the Revolutionary Army are mortal enemies..."

Ben Beckman blew out a long smoke ring. In the past, if they wanted to stop a fight, they just had to stop both sides from continuing to fight.

But now the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army can only be considered temporary allies. In order to stop the war, they must persuade the three forces to cease fire at the same time.

"They must be stopped. Teach hasn't shown up yet, and no one knows what his conspiracy is..."

Shanks subconsciously touched the scar on his eye, which was the mark left by Blackbeard Teach.

From then on, Shanks became extremely wary of Teach, and his premonition was proved to be correct. After hiding his identity for decades in the Whitebeard Pirates, Teach finally revealed his true identity.

"I just hope there won't be a fight soon. I don't know how long my poor old fellow can hold out..."

Jesus used a clean cloth to wipe the rifle in his hand that had accompanied him for many years. For a top sniper, the gun in his hand is even more important than his life.

"Hehe, maybe we will be attacked by both sides at the same time."

Lachie Lu said with a smile while eating meat, neither the navy nor the Whitebeard Pirates are good-tempered people, especially now that both sides are obviously angry.
