Chapter 91: The war breaks out again! Blackbeard is defeated!

Chapter 91: The war breaks out again! Blackbeard is defeated!
Although Whitebeard, the strongest man, was no longer a thing of the past after Borsalino became the admiral of the navy, it was inevitable that Blackbeard, who had been on the Moby Dick for decades, would lack confidence when facing Whitebeard.

This is not the Whitebeard who was ambushed by the giant spider Squard, went through a series of fierce battles, and was finally seriously injured and dying by Akainu.

Instead, it was the Pirate Emperor who had fought fiercely with Marshal Sengoku for most of the day and was still in his prime!

Even though Blackbeard had made sufficient mental preparations, he still couldn't help but feel a little panicked at this moment, and even had the idea of ​​running away first and then making long-term plans.

However, the dream he had been pursuing for decades was right in front of him, and his reason told him countless times that if he missed this opportunity, he would never be able to obtain the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit again. Blackbeard might really choose to escape.

"Teach, you actually dare to appear in front of me..."

Whitebeard shouted angrily, and the air of the entire Marinford seemed to be shaking. The crime of killing Thatch was already unforgivable, and sending Ace to the navy indirectly killed so many crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The moment he saw Blackbeard Teach again, Whitebeard made up his mind to kill this traitor at all costs!
"It's been a long time, Dad. There's no need to be so mad at me!"

Blackbeard said with a grin.

He was a little scared when he first faced the old man with white beard, but he soon figured out his current situation.

If he could irritate Whitebeard and make him continue fighting, he wouldn't even need to help the navy stop Red Hair.

Even for the sake of the dignity of the navy, Marshal Sengoku will destroy the Whitebeard Pirates at all costs.

"Blackbeard...why are you here?"

Marshal Sengoku frowned, even though Blackbeard was awarded the title of Shichibukai because he gave the Navy the Fire Fist Ace.

However, this guy started to evade the call-up of the navy after becoming one of the Shichibukai. If it weren't for the need to deal with the Battle of Marineford and the inability to withdraw combat forces to fight Blackbeard, Marshal Sengoku would not have tolerated him.

"Thief hahahahaha... Of course it's to help the navy deal with the Red Hair Pirates! I will be responsible for stopping Red Hair Shanks, and the crew of the Red Hair Pirates can be handed over to the other Shichibukai to deal with. This war can continue!"

Blackbeard spoke impatiently.

In this sea, only the Navy Headquarters has the ability to force Whitebeard into a desperate situation.

If Marshal Zhan Guo refuses to continue fighting, he alone will never be able to obtain the Tremor-Tremor Fruit even if he waits until his next life.

Before Blackbeard could finish his words, Akainu showed an excited expression.

If we were to ask who in the current Marine Headquarters is the one who most wants the war to continue, it would most likely be Blackbeard or Akainu.

The only difference is that Blackbeard wants the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, while Akainu wants to achieve enough merit to get the last chance to become the Admiral of the Navy.

Otherwise, even though Borsalino is a few years older than him, this guy is a well-known "ageless general". He is in his forties but looks like a teenager in his early twenties.

This is a manifestation of the pinnacle of life return. Even the naval officer who created the life return had never thought that anyone could reach this level.

No one knows how many years Borsalino can live. We only know that the person who created the life return lived to be over 120 years old, and that person's level was obviously not as strong as Borsalino's.

If Borsalino were to become the Admiral of the Navy, unless this guy voluntarily resigned and retired, Akainu estimated that he would never see the day when the position of Admiral of the Navy would be vacant in his lifetime.

"Teach, you bastard!"

"Damn it! How dare he..."

"I must kill him! To avenge Thatch!"

……

The pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates couldn't help but curse.

As a chef and captain of the Fourth Division, Thatch has always been very popular in the Whitebeard Pirates. In addition, Blackbeard's attack on Ace further aroused the pirates' hatred towards Blackbeard.

"It is the duty of the Navy to eliminate pirates and uphold justice! In the name of justice! Eliminate the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Marshal Sengoku finally made up his mind. It would cost a huge price to destroy the Whitebeard Pirates, but if he let the Whitebeard Pirates leave in front of the whole world, it would only be a bigger blow to the navy!

"Oh! Destroy the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"For justice!"

"Kill these damn pirates!"

……

At a command from Marshal Zhan Guo, the navy, which had long been unable to contain itself, roared in anger. It was undeniable that there were many scumbags in the navy, but the original intention of most of the navy was to uphold justice.

There may be controversy over the definition of justice, but eliminating pirates is undoubtedly justice recognized by all navies!
"Retreat! Captains, cover the others in evacuating Marinford! I'll be in charge of covering your retreat! Marco, take Ace away from here!"

What the pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates didn't expect was that when they were preparing to fight the navy to the death and kill the traitor Teach at all costs, Whitebeard suddenly ordered a retreat.

"Dad, aren't we going to help Thatch and Ace get revenge?"

The captain of the third division, Diamond Joz, was very indignant. He had a very good relationship with Thatch. If Ace had not insisted, Joz would definitely be the first to stand up and settle the score with Blackbeard Teach.

In Joz's opinion, with the help of the Red Hair Pirates and the Revolutionary Army, they are fully capable of fighting the Navy and there is no need to escape.

Many pirates looked over like Joz, hoping that Whitebeard would change his mind.

They are the Whitebeard Pirates. How could they watch the enemy who killed their family members right in front of them and then run away in shame?

"Stop talking nonsense! I'm not dead yet, and it's not your turn to call the shots on the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Whitebeard glared and cursed, saying that he could settle the score with Teach at any time and there was no need to fight to the death with the navy in Marinford.

Their purpose of coming to the Marine Headquarters was to rescue Ace. Now that Ace had been rescued by Marco and the Straw Hat Boy, there was no reason to continue fighting.

"Dad..."

Ace was a little hesitant. He wanted to kill Blackbeard to avenge Thatch, but Ace also knew that if he stayed, he would only implicate his companions in the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Thatch is my son, so naturally I have to avenge him... That kid Teach won't be able to stay alive for long!"

Whitebeard shook his head. He knew very well how much psychological pressure Ace was under, but now was not the time to train Ace.

"Want to escape? Humph! Stop daydreaming! Meteor Volcano!"

Akainu laughed grimly, raised his hand and blasted out countless lava meteors, ready to cut off the pirates' retreat.

The scorching lava meteors flew up into the sky, and when they fell, they would turn the port of Marinford into a magma hell. Except for the icebreaker of the Ice Witch Whitebee, even the Moby Dick could not sail out of this magma sea.

"Akainu brat!"

However, at the same time that Akainu made his move, Whitebeard had already punched the air in front of him heavily. The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit quickly spread through the air, shattering the atmosphere and also shattering the lava meteor blasted by Akainu.

"Stop them! Don't let the pirates get away!"

Marshal Sengoku shouted loudly, and with his order, tens of thousands of navy soldiers shouted loudly and charged towards the pirates.

"Don't even think about getting past me! Earthquake!"

The big pheasant in Whitebeard's hand slashed fiercely on the square of Marinford. Accompanied by a violent vibration, a huge gully more than ten meters wide completely separated the navy and the pirates.

Although the naval officers can definitely charge forward using the Moon Step, not everyone in the headquarters navy has learned the Six Naval Styles, and not everyone who has learned the Six Naval Styles can master the technique of the Moon Step.

If you rush forward rashly, you will only be surrounded by pirates, and even a vice admiral will be at risk of being besieged and killed.

"Ice Rainbow Bridge!"

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Admiral Aokiji took action, jumped into the middle of the crack, and activated the ability of the ice fruit. A huge ice bridge tens of meters wide quickly connected the two sides of the crack.

Moreover, as Aokiji's abilities continued to be activated, the ice gradually filled the entire gully. Even if the Whitebeard Pirates destroyed the ice bridge, the navy only needed to wait for a moment before rushing over.

"Hurry up and rush over!"

"We can't let the pirates escape!"

"Destroy the Whitebeard Pirates!"

……

The morale of the navy was boosted when they saw this. Akainu, who was full of fighting spirit, turned into rolling lava and rushed towards Whitebeard. He wanted to use the head of the strongest man in the world to make up for the merit he had missed before.

In fact, this is his last chance. When the war at the top is over, Marshal Warring States will retire voluntarily if nothing unexpected happens.

Afterwards, his strength, achievements and qualifications were impeccable, and he also seized the pure gold Borsalino for the Five Elders, making him the well-deserved next Admiral of the Navy.

If he wants to change all this, he must have achievements that can match his own, and Whitebeard's head is obviously a good choice.

Even though his achievement is still far inferior to Borsalino's in capturing pure gold, Akainu is confident that he can convince the Five Elders to change their minds by relying on Borsalino's character flaws.

If there was a choice... I'm sure the Five Elders would not be willing to let a Navy Admiral who pretends to obey them in various ways and even openly ignores the orders of the World Government come to power.

"Die! Whitebeard!"

Akainu turned into a huge lava waterfall in mid-air and fell towards where Whitebeard was.

"If you want to continue fighting, I will be your opponent! Shenpi!"

Before Whitebeard could make a move, Shanks had already drawn his sword and slashed out with a pitch-black flying slash, splitting the lava waterfall in mid-air into two.

"Red hair!"

Akainu was so angry that his cheeks were shaking. After this war, he felt that the whole world was against him. Every time he set his sights on a target, someone would pop up to make trouble.

The most annoying thing is that this is his last chance!

No matter how high Akainu thinks of himself, he doesn't think he can defeat the two pirate emperors, Red-Haired Shanks and Whitebeard, one after another.

The dream of becoming the Admiral of the Navy was shattered from then on. The furious Akainu erupted like a real volcano, and blasted towards Shanks in a nearly mutually destructive manner.

"Hiss, this guy is so angry... Shenwei!"

The corners of Shanks' mouth twitched.

He didn't quite understand where Akainu got so angry, but even if Akainu went berserk, he was confident that he could stop him.

Before the scorching lava could fall, it was crushed by the countless flying slashing waves released by Shanks.

However, as a user of the nature-type Devil Fruit, Akainu didn't care about this level of attack. The dispersed lava quickly condensed into a human form after falling to the ground.

"Big fire-breathing!"

Akainu, who was burning with anger, had made up his mind at this moment. No matter if there were any other troublemakers coming out, he would keep a close eye on that bastard Red Hair.

After all, in a sense, Red-Haired Shanks was the culprit who caused his dream of becoming the Navy Admiral to be shattered!
At the same time that Akainu took action... Aokiji, who was emitting cold air all over his body, made the same choice as Akainu and wanted to take off Whitebeard's head.

However, unlike Akainu who wants to seize the position of the Navy Admiral, Aokiji is more interested in maintaining the dignity of the Navy.

For Aokiji, as long as Akainu, a radical, is not allowed to become the Admiral of the Navy, it is completely acceptable. In a sense, the neutrality upheld by Borsalino has something in common with the dovish navy.

After all, the faction led by Borsalino is a notorious hodgepodge. Many people are former hawkish and dovish navies who just couldn't stand the overly radical or overly conservative atmosphere, so they chose to join Borsalino and stand neutral.

"Storm Dragon Claw Fist·Dragon King Breath!"

But before Aokiji could rush to Whitebeard, a fierce storm blocked Aokiji's way like a natural moat.

Dragon's original goal was to achieve the goal of promoting the Revolutionary Army and attacking the Navy in the Battle of Marineford. As for rescuing Ace, it was a secondary goal.

Although the mission of attacking the navy has not been successfully completed, the concept of the revolutionary army has been spread to the world through live broadcast.

On the premise that the goal has been basically achieved, Dragon doesn't mind helping his temporary ally and stopping the navy admiral.

Of course, Whitebeard also knew how to return the favor. While ordering his sons to cover the retreat of other crew members, he also ensured that the Revolutionary Army could also withdraw from Marinford smoothly.

The melee on Marinford Square broke out again, and several members of the Blackbeard Pirates, led by Blackbeard, took the initiative to confront the Red Hair Pirates.

"Kill him!"

Ben Beckman, with a cigarette in his mouth, just glanced at Blackbeard and raised the rifle in his hand.

The Red Hair Pirates not only have the strongest average strength among the Four Emperors, but also have the most snipers in the New World. Ben Beckman, Jesus Bu, and Lucky Lu are all top snipers, and below them there are more than a dozen snipers who are not much inferior to Izo of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Even top-level warriors would have to be more or less cautious when facing such terrifying firepower.

Bullets wrapped in armed color domineering came crackling and hit the Blackbeard Pirates who were rushing over with great momentum, forcing them to flee in panic.

The Dark-Dark Fruit is known as the most vicious Devil Fruit, but as a nature-type Devil Fruit it does not have the ability to transform into elements, and it will also double the pain when the user is hurt.

At this time, Blackbeard had not yet obtained the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and was still a little short of the strongest men on the sea. Under the firepower that the snipers of the Red Hair Pirates were proud of, he had no room to fight back.

"Aren't you a sniper? Fight back quickly!"

Badgers yelled in frustration while hiding behind a low wall. It was true that he had a warlike personality, but that did not include being suppressed by the enemy's intensive firepower like a mouse, and having to hide in a corner to survive.

"Asshole! If you have the guts, come out and attract their attention for me! I promise to collect your body!"

Van Oka's temper was not much better, and he started cursing at Badgers.

He wanted to challenge the snipers of the Red Hair Pirates, but that definitely didn't include being surrounded and beaten by a dozen powerful snipers.

Unlike a muscular monster like Badgers who can grit his teeth and fight hard even if he can't win, a slight difference in the duel between snipers is enough to decide life or death.

Not to mention that there are several snipers on the opposite side who are stronger than him.

Even if the rest are weaker than him, they are not much worse. Two of these tough guys can beat him. Now they just jump out and fight!
"It's no use hiding here. I'll attract their attention. Let's spread out."

Lafitte took a look with the mirror he carried with him and found that the members of the Red Hair Pirates were already flanking them on both sides, and it seemed that they were preparing to capture them all in one fell swoop.

"Hey? Then what should I... ahem, what should I do?"

Poison Q was a little dumbfounded, and the sick horse beside him could rarely cheer up and looked at Lafitte eagerly.

As a ship doctor, his frontal combat capability is at the bottom. It's natural that there's no pressure for the others to disperse, but Poison Q is really worried that he will be killed.

"Thief hahahaha, don't worry, you are a crew member selected by me personally, you won't die so easily!"

Blackbeard laughed loudly and consciencelessly. If he was not really defeated, Poison Q would have stuffed an exploding apple into his mouth by now.

"Bless yourself!"

Lafitte shrugged, took off his hat, and patted it from the bottom. As if by magic, a bunch of pigeons flew out of the hat.

As soon as the pigeons flapped their wings and flew out, they were all shot down by the snipers of the Red Hair Pirates.

However, several members of the Blackbeard Pirates also took the opportunity to rush out, preparing to disperse to avoid continued suppression by concentrated fire.

"Fire freely and cover the retreat of the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Ben Beckman just snorted when he saw this. He didn't want to get entangled with these people from the Blackbeard Pirates.

Shanks always likes to meddle in other people's business, so as the deputy captain, he can only try his best to find and fill in the gaps for Shanks.

Although there were still several snipers who disliked the traitor Blackbeard and deliberately targeted him, Blackbeard was still able to withstand a few bullets wrapped with Armament Haki.

However, when Blackbeard was hit, he couldn't help but curse in pain. The side effects of the Dark-Dark Fruit cannot be ignored just because of strong endurance. Even a ruthless character like Blackbeard couldn't stand it.

"Huff huff huff... Can't get too close to Dad, nor too far away from him. First find a high place to hide and observe the situation..."

Blackbeard finally escaped from Jesus Bu's sniper range, and while running he was thinking about how to seize the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

At this time, Whitebeard was blocking the navy that was trying to pursue him. This 'strongest man in the world' standing in front of the navy could be described as a one-man showdown against ten thousand.

Unfortunately, Marshal Sengoku was stopped by a "mysterious hooded man" who firmly denied his identity. The remaining group of vice admirals from the headquarters faced Whitebeard and were beaten without any chance to fight back.

Blackbeard, who wanted to take advantage of the situation, quickly found his ideal target, the large watchtower standing on Marinford Square.

"Hahahahaha, this place is really nice..."

Blackbeard climbed up to the pavilion on the top of the watchtower with a look of joy on his face.

Not only is this place high enough to allow one to observe and confirm Whitebeard's situation at any time, it is also hidden enough so one does not have to worry about being noticed by the pirates and navy who are fighting each other.

But the moment Blackbeard walked into the pavilion, the smile on his face froze instantly.

"Hmm? What a coincidence, Blackbeard..."

Borsalino was sitting on a beach chair that came from nowhere. The table next to him was piled with all kinds of food and drinks. On his left and right were Baby-5 and little Nami who were serving him. Behind him, Hancock and Esdeath were confronting each other coldly.

The moment Blackbeard walked into the pavilion, everyone's eyes were instantly focused on him.

[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng’s thigh: Pfft! Hahahaha! Blackbeard has come to me on his own initiative! ]

[Orochimaru: Is this man the user of the Dark-Dark Fruit you mentioned earlier? The most special natural type, really interesting.]

[Tony Stark: Wow, let me first state that I am not discriminating against obese people, but Mr. Blackbeard's body is a bit exaggerated. Is he really strong? ]

[Xiao Mei: This guy doesn’t look like a good person. He looks so ugly…]

[Kobayashi: Well, it’s a bit unpleasant to be considered a bad person just because you’re not good-looking enough~]

[Grayfield Ai: Don't underestimate him. If the stupid dog is not lying, this guy is the mastermind behind this war! ]

[Fubuki: You don’t look very smart...]

[Orochimaru: Heh, can I reserve this man's body in advance? ]

……

The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room flew by quickly, and almost all the group members who were watching the live broadcast couldn't help but come out to chat. It is not difficult to see how dramatic the appearance of Blackbeard was.

"Marine monster... Yellow... Admiral Yellow Ape, thief hahahaha, I didn't expect you to be here too, sorry to bother you, I'll leave now!"

Blackbeard laughed dryly and said that he still remembered that Whitebeard had fought with Borsalino more than ten years ago.

Although Whitebeard finally defeated the admiral, judging from his solemn expression at that time, the title of "Navy Monster" is indeed very important.

In Teach's mind, Whitebeard is the enemy he least wants to face, and the next one is definitely Borsalino.

If we ignore the anger and hatred in Whitebeard's heart that made him want to eat him alive, Borsalino's position is even higher than Whitebeard's.

In a sense, the ability of the Pika Pika Fruit can be regarded as the nemesis of the Dark-Dark Fruit. The most crucial point is that Borsalino's speed is too fast. Even if Blackbeard has the power to make the ability of the devil fruit ineffective, he cannot encounter Borsalino who can reach the speed of light.

"Leave? You want to leave without asking me?"

Borsalino put down his glass with a half-smile, but the moment he spoke, Blackbeard's face changed drastically.

Unlike Akainu who wanted to drag the navy and all the pirates to death together, for Borsalino, safeguarding the interests of the navy is not only about eliminating pirates, but also about maintaining the balance and order of the ocean.

It sounds like Borsalino and Shanks have similar ideas.

However, the biggest difference between the two is that Shanks maintains the balance and order of the Great Pirate Era, while Borsalino wants the balance and order under the leadership of the Navy.

Therefore, Shanks has to ensure the existence of the Whitebeard Pirates and even the Four Emperors Pirates, so that they can form a balance of confrontation with the Navy Headquarters, and ensure that the Navy cannot free up its hands to suppress or even eliminate the pirates who continue to enter the New World.

To put it bluntly, the balance and order that Borsalino wants means that the navy is on high ground and can destroy any pirate group that poses a threat to the navy at any time, but it has no intention of destroying all pirates.

At least before the overthrow of the World Government, the existence of pirates is conducive to the relative independence of the navy.

Therefore, an ambitious person like Blackbeard who only wants to subvert order will have no way out, whether he falls into the hands of the Red Hair Pirates or Borsalino!
"Hahahaha, Admiral Kizaru may not know this yet, but I am one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and we are all one family."

Blackbeard slowly backed away, staring at Borsalino with his round, bloodshot eyes, fearing that the admiral would attack him if they disagreed.

"Shichibukai? Come to think of it, I really hate this system. When I become the Admiral of the Navy, I will just abolish it."

Borsalino stood up slowly, which made Blackbeard tense up and ready to escape at any time.

Although the hope of escape is slim, Blackbeard does not want to fall just before his dream comes true. He has waited for decades for the Dark-Dark Fruit!
"Hahahaha, thief. So before abolishing the Shichibukai system, Admiral Kizaru is going to disobey the orders of the World Government? If so, the position of the Navy Admiral that you've been dreaming of may be away from you!"

Blackbeard can only try to use the name of the World Government to threaten Borsalino not to act rashly.

"Then I'll leave this guy to you. The internal fighting among the Seven Warlords of the Sea is none of my business."

Borsalino spoke to Hancock and Esdeath, and Hancock and Esdeath, who were originally confronting each other, immediately turned their eyes to Blackbeard.

The two murderous auras almost scared Blackbeard silly. What’s wrong with these two women?
"Don't worry, dear, I'll give you this guy's head right away!"

Esdeath gave a cruel smile.

She was already getting tired of competing with Hancock, and Blackbeard just happened to come to her.

With just one glance, Esdeath could feel the subtle threat from Blackbeard. This guy might not be as strong as Drocas and Red-Haired Shanks, but he could definitely satisfy her desire.

"Don't be ridiculous! Lord Borsalino clearly asked me, a Shichibukai, to get rid of this man!"

Hancock had no intention of backing down, and although she was not very interested in fighting a powerful opponent, she would do her best to complete all the orders given by Lord Borsalino.

Seeing that Hancock was about to argue with her again, Esdeath couldn't help but roll her eyes.

It's true that she wanted to experience the love game, and all the experiences she had with her dear so far had been great. But there were too many weird women around her dear, which made Esdeath a little distressed.

It’s not that Esdeath was obsessed with the idea that Borsalino could only belong to her, but Hancock had to compete with her for Borsalino’s attention, which made Esdeath a little unhappy.

Wouldn't it be better for everyone to be as obedient as those two maids? She doesn't mind having a few more women around her dear.

But what Esdeath herself didn't know was that while she was arguing with Hancock, little Nami next to her was almost wishing that she and Hancock would fight directly.

"Then let's see who's faster! Whoever gets this guy's head first wins!"

Seeing that Hancock was about to argue with her again, Esdeath finally spoke impatiently.

Afterwards, he took the initiative without any moral principles and raised his hand to throw out countless ice cones, ready to beat Blackbeard into a hornet's nest.

"asshole!"

Blackbeard never expected...

Borsalino did not take action himself, but instead asked the Pirate Queen and the blue-haired woman who killed Aries Drokas to deal with him together.

To be honest, if it was a one-on-one fight, Blackbeard wouldn't be afraid of these two women, but now it's two against one, and it's stuck when he wants to seize the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. This makes Blackbeard want to vomit blood.

Even if he finally won after all the hardships, he might miss the only chance to seize Whitebeard's devil fruit.

So Blackbeard jumped without hesitation and jumped directly towards the square of Marinford.

Even if there was a chaotic battle going on below, it was better than being chased by two women whose strength was no less than his.

"Don't try to escape!"

There was no way Esdeath would let her prey escape, so she drew her saber and chased after it.

She comes from a nation that specializes in hunting dangerous species, and has a special hobby for hunting prey that is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"Damn evil woman!"

Hancock gritted her teeth, stretched out her long legs and jumped down from mid-air. Although she was not from the navy, given the relationship between Hancock and Borsalino, the Six Styles of the Navy was no secret to her.

For Hancock, this level of height is just a matter of taking two more moon steps.

"Huh, there are two times!"

Esdeath stepped on a huge piece of ice and landed on the ground, quickly chasing in the direction of Blackbeard along the rapidly frozen ground.

Then she saw Hancock running quickly in the air using the Moon Step. Since she didn't need to avoid others, her speed was much faster than hers.

But Esdeath was not in a hurry.

The prey named Blackbeard is very powerful and it is not so easy to take his head off.
