Chapter 455: Facing the Four Admirals of the Navy
Chapter 455: Facing the Four Admirals of the Navy
Marco knew his father's determination, so he had a greater psychological burden than others.
At the same time, he also understood that if his father could cure his illness, despite his old age, he would definitely be the king of the world, and would be no worse than the Pirate King Roger back then!
Although what Lu Li said seemed too absurd according to the common sense of this world, and it seemed that even the legendary surgery fruit would find it difficult to accomplish, Marco still wanted to believe it.
There was no other reason, it was just that he really didn't want to see his father die in battle here, and he was reluctant to part with his father.
"Three minutes... is too long."
Whitebeard touched the healed wound on his abdomen. While marveling at Lu Li's healing ability, he sighed in a way that made Marco anxious, "Every minute and every second, my children are bleeding."
Obviously, he was about to go out in person to clear the way for the battlefield.
In order to save Ace, little Oz in front rushed to the execution platform alone under pressure, but because his body was too big, he was targeted by fire and fell down.
At this point the battle had become intense, and the admirals could no longer sit still and began to take action. The confrontation phase was over. If he still sat at the bow, his sons would have been slaughtered by the admirals.
"Ace——"
At this moment, there was a loud roar on the battlefield, full of energy, it was Luffy who arrived at the battlefield.
Because of the escort of Jinbei, Ivankov and others, they were able to advance quickly like a tiger among a flock of sheep.
Lu Li looked at the situation on the battlefield. At this moment, Kizaru was in a state of paddling. He had been hiding in the smoke since he was knocked away by Whitebeard's punch in the previous confrontation.
As for Aokiji... it seemed like he was just paddling along. Apart from starting to freeze the tsunami, he didn't make any big moves.
The only admiral who was trying hard to fight the pirates was Akainu. At this time, Akainu went to the front battlefield, and several captains joined forces but were defeated by him.
"Marco, go and stop them. I'll help too."
As Lu Li spoke, he summoned two shadow clones and rushed towards Akainu and Aokiji who was half paddling.
Under the surprised gazes of Marco and Whitebeard, Lu Li said, "Three minutes is not a long time. Old man, you don't really think that with your current physical condition, you can save Ace in front of the execution platform? Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Are the heroes of the Warring States and the Navy vegetarians?"
Lu Li's words made Whitebeard silent for a few seconds. He was indeed old and had a sick body. Even if he could beat one navy admiral, could he beat three?
Even if he can defeat the three navy admirals, can he defeat Sengoku and Garp?
Whitebeard was not the kind of indecisive person. Seeing that Lu Li was indeed very powerful and that his special ability seemed to be able to delay the general for a while, he nodded and said, "Sorry to bother you, hurry up."
Marco flew to the battlefield to help when Lu Li released his shadow clone. He was worried about the situation on his father's side, but he also couldn't sit idly by and watch Akainu slaughter his brothers.
High up behind Marinford, Rafar, holding a telescope, saw Lu Li releasing his shadow clone, while at the same time healing Whitebeard's abdominal injury, with a strange smile on his face.
"Captain, don't we need to take action?"
Beside him, a woman with long brown hair and wearing a tight white robe asked, "Isn't that the End's man? Isn't it a good idea to kill him now to avenge Richard?"
"No hurry, he seems to have the means to cure Whitebeard. I want him to cure Whitebeard."
Rafael said, "Once Whitebeard recovers to his peak, we should be able to extract the fragments of the World Core."
"But……"
The brunette hesitated, "Will this be dangerous?"
"I'm still here, how could there be any danger? Everything is focused on conquering the world. You need to supervise Blackbeard and make sure he doesn't show up at the wrong time."
Rafar instructed that he was a professional world strategist and his stance was flexible. For example, although he was in the navy camp, he actually had no intention of leaning towards the world government.
It's just that this current identity makes it convenient for him to act. Once he gets the world core hidden on the side of the World Government, his position will change.
He personally has no ill feelings towards Whitebeard. It would be better to say that he likes this heroic character very much. But unfortunately, for the sake of world conquest, he can only choose to kill the opponent on the battlefield. Giving the opponent a decent ending is his greatest respect.
On the other side, Lu Li had already started using Huidao to heal Whitebeard's internal illness on the boat.
Unlike illness and injury, Whitebeard's condition is caused by many factors.
Old injuries, aging body tissues, and illnesses were the reasons that made him seriously ill.
Moreover, as a pirate, Whitebeard is the kind of person who does not follow the doctor's advice. He obviously should not drink alcohol, but he still drinks it in big gulps during the banquet. It would be strange if his illness could be cured. It will only get worse.
If Whitebeard was a young man, in this situation, Lu Li would have a way to completely cure him within a few seconds.
Inspired by Gojo Satoru's amazing operation, he only needs to destroy all the diseased organs and other body tissues in Whitebeard's body, and then reconstruct them using a reversal technique.
But the problem is that, although the reversal technique is said to transform negative energy into living positive energy, it actually consumes the original vitality during the treatment process.
No super-fast regeneration in this world can be completely without side effects. Considering Whitebeard's age and physical condition, if he were treated with such a rough method, he might just die of old age.
Therefore, Lu Li could only use Hui Dao to repair White Beard's organs. After removing the lesions, he would partially remove and destroy the tissues and then reconstruct them. This was a delicate job of treating the disease with the right medicine and it could not be done quickly.
When he saw Whitebeard, Lu Li used his reconnaissance skills to check and discovered that Whitebeard also had the World Core. At the same time, because he saw multiple holders of the World Core, Lu Li triggered a special mission.
[World Strategy Mission: Jigsaw Puzzle]
Mission content: When the explorer encounters a target holding a fragment of the world's core, this mission prompt will be activated. Please collect all the puzzle pieces to form a complete world's core and complete the final strategy of the world.
Each target holding a fragment of the World Core will have a different method of extracting the World Core due to their status. Currently, only the complete extraction method of the targets that explorers have encountered is announced.
Whitebeard: After killing him, you can obtain 2/3 of the World Core fragments on his body. If his strength can be restored to its peak, you can use the World Core Extractor provided by this quest to extract them completely.
Straw Hat Luffy: After killing him, you can obtain 1/3 of the World Core fragments on his body. If his fruit awakens and turns into Nika form, you can use the World Core Extractor provided by this mission to extract them completely.
[Hint: The World Core required for the final puzzle of this task must be at least 90% pure before it can be assembled]
Mission Difficulty: Difficult ~ Nightmare
Mission Reward: World Core, special reward after returning
Failure penalty: None
There is no penalty for this task, but it shows how difficult it is. The space does not force him to complete this task.
But Lu Li came to the One Piece world just to break through it, so of course he had to consider how to collect all the fragments of the world's core.
Through the way the fragments from Whitebeard and Luffy were collected, Lu Li understood why no explorer had ever broken through this world until now.
There is no other reason, it’s mainly because the conditions are harsh and troublesome, and it’s not something that can be done with just combat power.
In terms of combat power, powerful explorers are relatively balanced in development, without obvious shortcomings. If they are at the peak of the fifth level, they will definitely have a chance to flatten this world. However, One Piece is still in a state of being broken through, which shows that the core of the world is not so easy to assemble. Conditions such as Nika Luffy and peak Whitebeard either limit the explorer's strategy time or give the explorer difficult problems to solve.
Fortunately, Lu Li is good at treatment and can solve Whitebeard's problem. The awakening of Luffy's Nika Fruit is a problem. He plans to take Luffy to find a good teacher to try, but he must not be taken away by Rayleigh.
While Lu Li was treating Whitebeard, the battle in the square was also very fierce.
"Dog bites Guren!"
Akainu roared and attacked. He first turned his arm into lava, then changed the lava arm into the shape of a dog's head and stretched out the lava limbs to attack Marco. The lava dog's head opened its big mouth and wanted to swallow Marco.
At this moment, a figure rushed into the battlefield with the force of thunder, and a dark sword light flashed, and the sword energy was so sharp that it cut through the Dog-Gnawing Red Lotus released by Akainu.
Akainu looked at the newcomer with some surprise. Originally, he just saw Straw Hat Luffy and his crew breaking into the battlefield and someone boarding Whitebeard's Moby Dick, and he didn't care much.
But he didn't expect that the clone created by the opponent's special ability could use swordsmanship to block his moves.
Because it was a large-scale battlefield, Akainu, who had continuous combat experience, would not use his full strength when dealing with ordinary people. The move he just used was just out of consideration for his physical strength, and released general power.
But even so, anyone who can break his move must be at least a vice-emperor-level pirate.
Is there such a person in the Whitebeard Pirates? He was not happy to have such a strong reinforcement at a time like this.
"How terrifying... Is it a ghost?"
At this time, Kizaru also walked out from the smoke, looking lazy and unfocused. "Or are we, the generals, kept in the dark?"
As he spoke, he also glanced at the area below the execution platform, where originally there were four chairs, which were the seats of the four admirals of the navy. Three of them had already been dispatched, but there was still a person who was good at controlling the situation and defending who stayed there to prevent anyone from using tricks to rescue Ace.
Green Bull, the new admiral of the navy who was promoted just last year!
"I have no intention of hiding anything."
Green Bull pulled down the brim of his navy cap, "But it's better to know less about such troubles, right?"
At this time, he stood up from his seat and looked at Lu Li (shadow clone) who was standing in front of Akainu across the battlefield. "Long time no see, Natural Disaster, you dare to appear in front of me again, have you forgotten the fear of being dominated by me?"
As he said that, he leaped across the battlefield and rushed towards Lu Li, wanting to finish the job himself.
"It looks like the higher-ups have other plans, Sakaski."
Kizaru said lazily, "Since this is someone the government wants to conceal his life or death, it's better for us to deal with him as soon as possible."
Akainu frowned. Through the conversation between Kizaru and Green Bull, he figured out Lu Li's identity. He remembered that he seemed to be a troublesome person in the Beasts Pirates.
There was no need for Kizaru to say much. His sense of justice meant that he would not let Lu Li go. He immediately increased his strength and fired a Hades Dog at Lu Li.
"Sakaski, wait!"
Just as Akainu was about to attack, Sengoku on the execution platform shouted, but unfortunately Akainu had already launched a fatal attack.
Zhan Guo's brows were furrowed at this time, and his temples were wet with sweat. Unlike those generals who only needed to fight, he, as a marshal, had a lot to consider.
Of course he knew that Lu Li was not dead but was secretly imprisoned, so he also knew Lu Li's strategic value and how much trouble it would cause if he was killed by Akainu in this situation.
But although he subconsciously wanted to stop Akainu's attack, he couldn't think of a better solution.
Lu Li has successfully escaped from prison. The worst case scenario is that the news that he is not dead has spread and has been known by Kaido.
If this is the case, their World Government is equivalent to provoking two of the Four Emperors at the same time, which is completely beyond their expectations of the war.
boom--
Faced with the more serious Akainu, Lu Li had to activate the Shura Technique by using the power of the Origin Spirit Seed to create a shadow clone. However, even the Origin Spirit Seed could not replicate the power of Lu Li's Zanpakuto, so its attributes were at an absolute disadvantage.
After Akainu got serious, he fired several consecutive flaming fists wrapped in magma, which made Lu Li's shadow clone so embarrassed that he could only dodge everywhere.
After all, Akainu is the strongest among the three admirals and a top master of the fifth level. Even if Lu Li has mastered outstanding footwork, it is difficult for him to dodge in the face of the huge attribute gap.
Soon he was hit by Akainu's lava fist, and half of his body was burned by the lava.
"Land from!"
"Natural disaster!"
"Brother Lu!"
On the battlefield, other people who saw this scene exclaimed in surprise, because they did not really understand what Lu Li's ability was, and were not clear about the nature of the shadow clone.
boom--
Just when Akainu finished his work and was about to deal with other pirates, he suddenly heard a bang, and then Lu Li, who was burned in half by him, turned into a cloud of smoke.
At the same time, two figures, one big and one small, crossed the sky.
The man with the majestic figure was Whitebeard. He jumped up with great force across the battlefield and made a dull sound when he landed. The shock wave instantly blew away a group of navy soldiers.
"Dad!"
The surrounding pirates were extremely excited, not only because Whitebeard had personally joined the battle, but also because Whitebeard looked in better spirits than ever before, and even had some of the charm of his youth.
The smaller figure in comparison is Lu Li's real body.
He landed lightly, his black windbreaker fluttering slightly, as if he had chosen the right moment. When he landed, Green Bull had just arrived at the battlefield here.
From then on, on the navy side, the four admirals Kizaru, Aokiji, Akainu and Green Bull stood side by side. Their tall stature and their powerful strength were like an insurmountable wall.
Lu Li landed on the ground in an instant and faced the four navy admirals.
