Chapter 90 Blackbeard's Fury

Chapter 90 Blackbeard's Fury
At this time, Shanks jumped out and asked everyone to give him face. Based on Lachie Lu's experience over the years, the possibility of being beaten up was quite high.

But who made them get on Shanks's pirate ship? Now they can only follow this guy to the end.

"Let's say hello first, at least we have to let everyone know we're here!"

Shanks gripped the hilt of the sword, and the next moment a huge amount of domineering aura rose into the sky, instantly sweeping across Marinford.

The next moment, eight or nine auras that were no less powerful than Shanks's exploded in the sky above Marinford. Even a fortress as solid as the Marine Headquarters was shaken by so many auras that seemed as real as substance, causing countless cracks to appear.

"Hahaha, what's going on? Is Marinford so lively?"

The domineering aura released by Shanks was forcibly "squeezed" out of Marineford. It was really a bit outrageous that such a small marine headquarters could gather so many top-level experts.

"This guy Shanks is probably going to get his head broken and bloody this time..."

Ben Beckman spoke with a serious expression. In the Red Hair Pirates' imagination, by the time they arrived, both sides would be exhausted and suffer heavy casualties.

At this time, the Red Hair Pirates would be an important bargaining chip that could change the situation of the war, and it is entirely possible to persuade both sides to cease fighting on the spot.

But now, through the results of Shanks's domineering Haki, it is clear that both sides still have spare strength, and it is no problem for eight or nine top powerhouses to fight for several days and nights.

"Are you ready to go?"

Jesus raised the 'Old Buddy' in his hand and tried to aim in the direction of Marinford.

"Of course, now that we are here, we can't just run away in disgrace!"

Shanks laughed out loud and gave the order for the Red Force to rush onto the ice.

"This guy...really likes to join in the fun just like before..."

The 'mysterious hooded man' who was holding Aokiji back suddenly laughed and said that the trainee pirate he once was had now become a big shot who could change the outcome of the war.

"Red hair……"

Aokiji frowned. It was undeniable that the arrival of the Red Hair Pirates was definitely not good news for the navy.

Although on the surface they only have the addition of the Pirate Emperor Shanks, but as the pirate group with the most evenly distributed bounties, the Red Hair Pirates' leaders are even stronger than the Whitebeard Pirates.

Especially the red-haired deputy captain Ben Beckman, who in the eyes of many people is even comparable to the original Pluto Rayleigh. Such a group of people coming to Marinford is really the worst outcome for the navy that currently has the upper hand.

"I see! The Whitebeard Pirates have been colluding with Red Hair for a long time..."

Marshal Sengoku's face looked very ugly. After feeling the domineering aura of Shanks rising into the sky, even Marshal Sengoku realized that the situation was not good.

"Gulala, stop talking nonsense. I never intended to ask that red-haired guy to help me!"

Whitebeard refuted without hesitation. With his personality, he would not actively ask others for help even if he died in battle. Even the Revolutionary Army only tacitly agreed to rescue Ace together for the sake of Ace, Luffy and Sabo.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, it's getting more and more unexpected. Even the Red Hair Pirates have gotten involved..."

On the edge of the battlefield, Doflamingo, who was manipulating a group of pirates to kill each other for fun, laughed wildly. The more complicated the situation was, the more worth looking forward to it for him.

If the Red Hair Pirates also choose to join this war in the end, it will definitely be the best start for Doflamingo who is determined to "destroy" this world.

"That's Shanks' style..."

Hawkeye Mihawk stared at the Red Hair Pirates' logo. Based on his understanding of Shanks, it was considered slow for him to arrive at the scene now.

Among a group of ambitious people who are eager to create chaos in the world, Shanks' style is truly a landslide. No one understands why he is so keen on mediating conflicts.

Even Mihawk, who has been friends with Shanks through swordsmanship for many years, doesn't understand. However, one of Hawkeye's advantages is that there is no need to think about things that he can't figure out. He only ever gets to the bottom of things related to swordsmanship.

"Is that guy also the reinforcement you found?"

Crocodile finally escaped from Akainu's pursuit under the cover of Dragon.

Although he was once regarded as the bottom of the Seven Warlords of the Sea because of his defeat to Straw Hat Luffy, he had also traveled in the New World before he settled in Alabasta. Naturally, he would not fail to recognize the flag of the Pirate Emperor, Red-Haired Shanks.

"No, I didn't expect him to show up at this time."

Dragon shook his head and blasted a gust of wind behind him to slow down Akainu's pursuit.

With his strength, he is not very afraid of Akainu, but if he is held back by Akainu, his father might catch up with him.

Originally, Dorag thought that his strength had greatly improved and he could even fight against his own father.

But Vice Admiral Garp proved to Dragon that your father is always your father, and his pair of iron fists almost beat Dragon into a pig's head.

"Honey, who is that guy?"

Esdeath, who was jealous of Hancock, noticed the arrogant one-armed man as soon as Shanks appeared.

In Esdeath's perception, Shanks' strength is even higher than Drocas', and this guy also seems to use a sword?

"Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Four Pirate Emperors, is a rather odd guy..."

Borsalino curled his lips, obviously not having a very good impression of Shanks.

Of course Borsalino would never admit that the reason he disliked Shanks was because this guy, as the Pirate Emperor, was even more insignificant than him, the Navy Admiral.

All day long he's either giving parties or traveling around, or else he's meddling in other people's business. He's just like Borsalino, like repels like.

"He is very strong, can I challenge him?"

Esdeath spoke eagerly. Having learned the three-color domineering, Esdeath felt that her strength had greatly improved. She had just chopped down a Drocas who was not in a good condition, and she still felt unsatisfied.

"Let's find an opportunity later. That guy is here to stop the fight. Continuing the fight won't be good for the navy..."

Borsalino scratched his head. Originally, the navy had an overwhelming advantage over the Whitebeard Pirates.

But who would have thought that Dragon would appear? The Revolutionary Army plus the Whitebeard Pirates are enough to pose a threat to the navy.

In addition, Dragon also sought help from Pluto Rayleigh and won over Drocas. If the Red Hair Pirates are added, unless Borsalino goes all out, he really won't be able to deal with these troublesome guys.

Thinking in this way, there seems to be no need to continue fighting. Borsalino has always cared about the interests of the navy.

Destroying pirates and the Revolutionary Army is definitely not a good thing for the navy, at least not a completely good thing.

Judging from the nature of the World Government and the Five Elders, putting away the bow when the bird is dead and cooking the dog when the rabbit is dead is just basic tactics. Borsalino has not yet decided to be a loyal dog to the World Government.

The arrival of the Red Hair Pirates aroused the vigilance of many people, but the navy and pirates who were already blood-thirsty had no intention of stopping the war at all.

"That's it!"

Shanks drew the sword from his waist and stabbed it through the ground beneath his feet.

The domineering aura that was like the collapse of heaven and earth quickly swept across the entire Marinford.

The weaker navy and pirates fell down one after another like wheat blown down by the wind.

Only the elites among pirates and even the officers of the navy have the ability to resist, but such people are only a minority compared to both the navy and pirates.

However, after just a few breaths, less than one-third of Marinford could remain awake. This was because the top warriors on both sides released their domineering aura to offset Shanks' domineering color.

"Red Hair! Do you want to be an enemy of the Navy?!"

Akainu turned into a ball of lava and fell from the sky, blasting a small lava lake in the square of Marinford.

He was successively slipped away from his hands by the Marco trio and Crocodile.

Akainu was in a very bad mood at this moment, his eyes almost spitting fire as he glared at Shanks.

This is the best opportunity to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army. Without the constraints of the Revolutionary Army, the Navy can draw troops from the four seas and even the Grand Line.

Taking advantage of the imbalance of pirate power in the New World caused by the disappearance of the Whitebeard Pirates.

If we put all our main forces into the New World, we might be able to put an end to this great pirate era once and for all.

For this reason, Akainu could even accept the result that the navy would suffer heavy losses, since the navy headquarters already had a plan to launch a worldwide conscription campaign after the war.

"If you haven't fought enough, then we will take over! If anyone wants to continue fighting, just come to me!"

Shanks said solemnly.

At the same time, the pirates of the Red Hair Pirates standing behind him all drew their weapons and prepared for battle.

"This guy is always like this..."

Marco curled his lips, feeling a little unhappy but had to admit that the Whitebeard Pirates owed Red Hair a favor.

Even though the alliance of pirates and the Revolutionary Army can still fight back and forth with the navy in the short term, their disadvantage in manpower is too obvious, and the navy has not yet gone all out.

Admiral Kizaru, who made his father very wary, found a woman who could defeat Aries Drokas one-on-one from somewhere. If these two joined the battle, the Whitebeard Pirates would be at a disadvantage and would probably collapse completely in the blink of an eye.

"Shanks... It's Shanks! Hey! Shanks!"

Luffy jumped up excitedly and cheered to the Red Hair Pirates who were confronting Akainu.

Shanks, who had a serious face, suddenly showed a helpless smile, but still waved at Luffy.

"It's Luffy, you've grown so big...time flies by so fast."

Ben Beckman spoke with emotion.

Even when facing the oppressive aura of Admiral Akainu, the vice-captain of the Red Hair Pirates did not feel the slightest bit nervous or uneasy.

"When this war is over, let's invite Luffy to have a party together!"

Jesus Bu raised the 'Old Buddy' in his hand and aimed it at Akainu, saying with a smile.

Back when they were in Windmill Village, they were old friends who watched Luffy grow up.

"Hey, don't relax too much. We can talk about the party after the battle is over!"

Laki Lu couldn't help but remind him.

These guys don’t even realize how angry Akainu is. If they really fight them to the death, it won’t be a joke.

"Red Hair... The Whitebeard Pirates actually chose to join forces with the Red Hair Pirates!"

Marshal Sengoku gritted his teeth, unlike Akainu who didn't care about the casualties of the navy as long as he could destroy the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army.

For Marshal Sengoku, reducing the casualties of the navy is far more important than destroying the Whitebeard Pirates.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How could I possibly team up with that red-haired brat!"

Whitebeard snorted with disdain.

With his pride, even if he died in Marineford, he would never bow to Shanks, his junior.

Marshal Sengoku did not refute. In his eyes, Whitebeard was indeed a guy who was unreasonably proud.

Besides, considering the Red Hair Pirates' style of doing things, it's not surprising that they would get involved at a time like this.

Even when the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates went to war with the Whitebeard Pirates, Shanks would stop the war without hesitation.

In Borsalino's words, Shanks is a busybody on the sea, a nosy lover, and an incurable balancer!
"Tsk tsk, this red-haired guy still likes to stir up trouble like before..."

Borsalino raised his eyebrows slightly and spoke with some emotion.

I still remember the first time I saw Red-Haired Shanks, it was when this guy was trying to mediate the conflict between the G1 branch and the Beasts Pirates.

So many years have passed unknowingly, and the young pirate has now become the Pirate Emperor of the New World.

But his personality is still the same as before, he likes to meddle in other people's affairs.

"My dear, this guy is so strong!"

Esdeath stared at Shanks with shining eyes, wishing she could draw her sword and rush over to have a good fight with Shanks.

Although Drokus's strength is not bad, it is obviously inferior to Shanks.

She was becoming more and more satisfied with Borsalino's world, which was full of strong people who were powerful enough to rival her.

Especially, Borsalino's strength was incredibly strong. She had obviously mastered the three colors of domineering, but when facing Borsalino, her wild instinct from fighting with countless dangerous species still told her.

The strength of the man in front of her was unfathomable. It felt like she had encountered a super dangerous species when she was very young and she could die at any time.

"Where the hell are you from? You don't even know the Pirate Emperor Red-Hair Shanks?" Hancock looked at Esdeath suspiciously. These days, apart from those bumpkins in the four seas, there are actually people who don't even know the Pirate Emperor.

"Pirate Emperor? No wonder he's so powerful... So my dear, you're the Navy Emperor?"

Esdeath nodded, acknowledging Shanks' title of Pirate Emperor.

Compared with the little emperor in the imperial capital, she could better accept the logic that only the strongest one was qualified to become emperor.

"Well, there is no such thing as an emperor in the navy. The strongest fighter is the admiral."

Borsalino said that the navy would not play such fancy tricks. Although there is a admiral above the admiral, the admiral is only the supreme commander of the navy, which does not mean that his combat power is above that of the admiral.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the one who can become the admiral of the navy is not the weakest among the admirals, even if he is not the strongest.

Just as Borsalino was communicating with his two confidantes.

The situation in Marinford Square also changed with the arrival of the Red Hair Pirates.

"Marshal Sengoku, are you going to go to war with the Red Hair Pirates?"

"Damn it! At a time like this! Damn Red-Haired Shanks!"

"Whitebeard, Red Hair, and the revolutionary army, together they are really hard to deal with..."

……

Under pressure from the Red Hair Pirates, the navy and pirates who were originally in a state of chaos subconsciously chose to temporarily cease fire, waiting for the leaders of their respective camps to make a decision.

After all, Shanks's 'performance' when he appeared was too dazzling.

Although for the truly strong ones, this level of domineering aura was not unexpected.

But for those navy and pirates who have never seen a truly strong man, and even for those who are watching the live broadcast, Red-Haired Shanks at this moment is simply a terrifying existence like the arrival of the devil.

Just a loud shout was enough to make nearly half of the navy and pirates fall into a coma. They didn't know that this was actually Shanks' limit. They only thought that the Pirate Emperor was so terrifying. In the eyes of many people, Red-Haired Shanks was even more terrifying than Whitebeard.

"It's really this red-haired guy... Is he on our side now?"

"It may not be a good thing for us to continue fighting..."

"So you want to team up with Red Hair?"

"See what Daddy says!"

……

Most pirates are extremely realistic guys. When they realize that the navy's strength is far more terrifying than they imagined, they no longer reject the idea of ​​joining forces with the Red Hair Pirates.

After all, compared to being completely wiped out by the navy, there is nothing wrong with joining forces with the Red Hair Pirates.

"The Red Hair Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates have joined forces... How terrifying!"

"Can the navy defeat them? These are two pirate emperors..."

"Is the end of the world coming soon?"

……

The people who were watching the live broadcast were looking at the scenes on the screen in fear. Even those civilians who had never had a good impression of the navy could not help but show extremely nervous expressions at this moment.

No matter how corrupt the navy is, it is still a righteous side in name. No one can imagine what the future of this world will be like after the navy is defeated by pirates!
In a sense, the goal that Marshal Sengoku wanted to achieve before the start of the Battle of Marineford has been achieved.

At least at this moment, the Navy's approval rating has reached an all-time high.

Whether to fight or to make peace, the whole world is waiting for Marshal Sengoku to give the final answer. However, even Akainu, who hates pirates the most, understands that the navy will most likely not be able to continue fighting this battle.

If pure gold had not appeared, Marshal Sengoku would have had reason to continue fighting, even to avoid the dissatisfaction of the World Government.

But now the Navy has obtained pure gold, and this alone is enough to make the World Government and the Five Elders extremely satisfied with the Navy's performance.

No one would hold Fire Fist Ace responsible for the failed execution. Under such circumstances, there was really no need for the navy to fight to the death.

However, just as Marshal Sengoku fell silent, a group of pirates hiding like rats in the Marine Headquarters fell into abnormal anger and fear.

"Asshole! Red-haired bastard! Why did he show up at a time like this?!"

Blackbeard stared at the red hair in the live broadcast with his bloodshot eyes, and his ambitious ugly face was filled with anger and unwillingness.

He is just one step away from seeing the scene where Whitebeard and Sengoku are both defeated. Then he can take the opportunity to snatch Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit and become the strongest man on the sea!

After that, he will find a way to get the pure gold in the hands of the navy. With immortality and invincible power, who on the sea can stop his ambition?
But at the critical moment... when he was only one step away from realizing his dream, the damn bastard Red-Haired Shanks suddenly appeared and tried to stop it all.

"If Red Hair shows up, the Captain's plan will fail, right? What a pity, it's something we are looking forward to..."

The pale-skinned man sitting at the table nearby spoke with great regret.

He is the navigator of the Blackbeard Pirates, Lafitte, nicknamed 'Devil Sheriff'.

The reason why Blackbeard was able to find so many powerful subordinates in a short period of time was largely due to the bright future that Blackbeard portrayed.

Using the ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit to seize the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, the most vicious and powerful devil fruit power is combined into one, which is enough to make Blackbeard the strongest man in the world after Whitebeard!

However, with Blackbeard's strength, it is undoubtedly a pipe dream for him to want to seize Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit by his own power.

That's why they pushed for the arrival of the Marineford War with the premise of letting the Whitebeard Pirates go to war with the Navy.

Who could have thought that when everything was going smoothly, a Red-Haired Shanks would suddenly appear at the critical moment, threatening to become an enemy of the navy in order to end the war.

"Hahahaha, failed? This is really boring. I don't want to go back to the boxing ring in disgrace! How about taking this opportunity to make a scene?"

Gizas Bajes, who was burly and almost inhuman, with a gold medal tied around his waist, had a cruel smile on his face.

Anyway, Captain Blackbeard's conspiracy has been shattered, and continuing to hide here is just a waste of time. It is better to go out and kill a few guys he dislikes to pass the time.

Seeing that the pirates and the navy had been fighting for such a long time, Bajes became a little itchy and wanted to find some suitable sandbags to vent his emotions.

"Hey, are we going to disband? In that case, why don't I treat everyone to an apple... Just to commemorate our brief partnership..."

Poison Q, who looked like he was dying and might die at any time, took out a few apples from his arms and spoke weakly.

"Forget it. I'm not tired of living yet. Hahahaha!"

Badgers decisively refused Poison Q's apple, because eating this guy's apple would be fatal.

Originally in Blackbeard's plan, they should have gone to the Deep Sea Prison and "recruited" a group of strong enough crew members by taking advantage of the scattered naval forces before the start of the War of Marineford.

However, the Revolutionary Army got there first, and Blackbeard, who did not want to conflict with the Revolutionary Army for the time being, could only wait patiently.

It’s not that Blackbeard is afraid of Dragon.

It’s just that Blackbeard has been patiently hiding in the Whitebeard Pirates for decades and doesn’t want to cause any trouble at the last minute.

After waiting for a long time for the Revolutionary Army to leave, Van Oka, who had the best eyesight in the Blackbeard Pirates, discovered the arrival of Borsalino and Gion.

Now Blackbeard was completely paralyzed. If he still had confidence in Gion, the candidate for admiral, then Borsalino was definitely the opponent he was most reluctant to face at this moment.

In desperation, Blackbeard had to give up his plan to recruit crew members and sneak into Marinford first. As a result, no one expected that the situation would develop to this point.

"I cannot participate in attacks without a real target."

Van Oka wiped the rifle in his hand with a clean cotton cloth and spoke in a slightly cold tone.

Although they are all members of the Blackbeard Pirates, they have different goals and cannot be considered true companions.

The moment they realized that Blackbeard's plan had failed...some of them were immediately ready to go their separate ways.

"Hahahahaha, I haven't admitted defeat yet! Are you guys ready to give up?"

Blackbeard grinned and said that he was now in a difficult situation. If he missed this opportunity, he would have to wait until Whitebeard's death before he could snatch the Tremor-Tremor Fruit from his father Whitebeard.

Even though he now has the Dark-Dark Fruit in his hand, Blackbeard doesn't think he can be a match for Whitebeard.

In other words, now is his only chance. No matter how dangerous it is, he must stand up at this time.

“Hahahahaha… As expected of you, you’re the captain. But is it really okay? They’re the Red Hair Pirates!”

An excited smile appeared on Bugles' face, even though he knew that facing the Red Hair Pirates would be very dangerous and he might even be killed on the spot.

But when he thought about fighting such a powerful enemy, Badgers became more and more excited.

"It's crazy... but it seems to be the only way..."

Lafitte squinted his eyes and stared at the Red Hair Pirates on the screen. He was unwilling to swallow the bitter fruit of failure.

"Ah, if you're upset... why don't you ask me for an apple..."

Poison Q's face turned green, and he looked like he might die at any time, but as long as you see Badgers actively keeping a distance from him, you can tell that this guy is definitely a ruthless character.

"Is this really okay? We are no match for the Red Hair Pirates..."

Van Oka was somewhat tempted, but still spoke with a little hesitation.

If you want to seize the Zhenzhen Fruit, you must continue this war.

However, the arrival of the Red Hair Pirates put enormous pressure on the navy. If Blackbeard wanted the navy to continue to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates, he had to go out himself to stop the Red Hair Pirates.

Otherwise, even with the strength of the Navy Headquarters.

Facing the combination of two pirate groups, the Revolutionary Army, and the prisoners from Impel Down at the same time was beyond their endurance.

But now the Blackbeard Pirates are obviously no match for the Red Hair Pirates. Even if Blackbeard performs exceptionally well and blocks Red Hair Shanks, the four of them will not be able to stop the cadres of the Red Hair Pirates.

That is the Red Hair Pirates, which has the smallest number of troops among the Pirate Kings. Their average strength is the best in the New World. Not to mention the four of them, even if Blackbeard is added, they may not be a match for the Red Hair Pirates without Shanks.

"Thief hahahaha, we just need to give the navy a reason to keep fighting. If we really can't win, the worst that can happen is we can just run away!"

Blackbeard also knew very well that now was the time when he needed help the most. If he could not convince Van Oka, Lafitte and Poison Q would most likely be shaken.

By then, only he and Bugles will be left, and even if they fight together, they will not be enough to defeat the Red Hair Pirates.

"Then fight! We have come to the last step. It would be a shame to give up just like that!"

Van Oka finally made up his mind!

Anyway, they are not going to fight to the death with the Red Hair Pirates, so simply blocking the Red Hair Pirates is not too dangerous.

Speaking of which, the snipers of the Red Hair Pirates are very famous in the New World. Van Oka, who is also a sniper, also wants to challenge his colleagues in the Red Hair Pirates.

At this time in Marinford Square, the navy and the pirates had been divided into two camps again and were confronting each other tensely. The prisoners of the Revolutionary Army and Impel Down were scattered in the pirate camp, nervously waiting for the final decision of Marshal Sengoku.

Even with the strong support of the Red Hair Pirates, the strength of the Marine Headquarters is still above that of the pirates.

If they just wanted to destroy the two pirate emperors, they had to at least defeat the Whitebeard Pirates, and the price they had to pay was quite staggering. If Fire Fist Ace was still in the hands of the Navy, Marshal Sengoku might have been able to be cruel enough to do it, but Ace had already been rescued by Marco and the Straw Hat Boy... The Navy's execution plan had failed.

At this point, Marshal Sengoku could only find a relatively decent way to end the war. In a sense, the arrival of the Red Hair Pirates gave Marshal Sengoku a way out.

"In the name of the Admiral of the Navy, I hereby declare the war to be over..."

Under the gazes of countless people, before Marshal Sengoku could finish his words, a pirate from the Whitebeard Pirates was suddenly shot in the head.

Then came the second, the third, and when the fourth bullet was about to pierce through a pirate's head, the muskets in the hands of Laki Lu and Jesus Bu fired at the same time.

One of them fired and detonated the bullet that was about to pierce the pirate's head, while the other found the sniper who attacked secretly.

'boom! '

A big hole was blasted in the solid wall by Laki Lu's bullet. Van Oka, who was hiding behind the wall, glanced at his damaged hat and licked his lips subconsciously.

As expected of a senior officer of the Red Hair Pirates, the power and accuracy of this shot were a level higher than his. If the other party had not been in a hurry to force him out, he might have been able to kill him directly by sniping him if he had waited for a moment.

"Hahahaha, you have so many acquaintances here. It would be such a shame if I wasn't there for such a lively event!"

Blackbeard walked out from behind the stone wall with a big laugh, but when Whitebeard stared at him, he couldn't help but shudder.

But it’s not Blackbeard’s fault that he was embarrassed, because he was facing the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard!
