Chapter 466: The Sweating Arcane

"Captain, what should we do?"

High up behind the Navy Headquarters, Monell looked at the chaotic battlefield below with anxious eyes. The situation was completely out of their control.

Rafar frowned, "Everyone take medicine to restore your soul source and prepare for the forbidden spell of divine judgment."

He didn't expect that the previous wave of wrong judgment would coincide with the arrival of the Beasts Pirates, resulting in the death of the vanguard of their Mage Corps.

Without the vanguards responsible for taking on damage, if they charged directly into the battlefield, they would be in great danger facing these reckless pirates.

Since the situation had deteriorated to such an extent, Rafar prepared to blow up Marinford and the sea area within a hundred kilometers.

Go it alone? Not possible.

Considering that Lu Li has obtained the fragments of Coby's world core, it is extremely difficult for them to break through the world. At this time, they don't care that the genocide-type forbidden spell will kill Luffy as well.

If he continued to hesitate, Rafael was afraid that the Whitebeard Pirates and the Beasts Pirates would join forces to kill their way through the Marine Headquarters and cause massive casualties to their Rune Adventure Group.

The weakness of their adventure group is that if they each release spells in a melee, they lack a certain finishing ability. If they continue to drag on in the face of the tough and strong pirates, they will inevitably be vulnerable.

If they were to be ambushed by a monster like Lu Li that deals real damage, they would probably suffer heavy casualties.

Moreover, since the control effectiveness of the Demon-Subduing Forbidden Spell was clearly not up to standard, they had no way of being sure how long the control would last. It was obviously more risky for them to fight a protracted war.

"But... Divine Judgment can only be launched within the area we have constructed. We will also be affected."

Monelle said hesitantly.

"Just send it away with the inventory."

Rafar said that Divine Judgment was an extremely powerful destructive forbidden spell, with a full sixth-order output power, but its disadvantage was that it could only be cast where the caster group was sitting. In essence, it was a forbidden spell that would result in mutual destruction, but if used in conjunction with a teleportation scroll after it was activated, it could achieve a non-injurious blow.

The only drawback is that it cannot be used for long-range bombardment at will, which makes it inferior to the ancient weapons they desire.

Rafar's order was conveyed to Monell and also to Lu Li.

Because of the arrival of his companions from the Beasts Pirates, Lu Li relaxed a little and paid attention to check on the situation on Rafar's side. He frowned slightly after learning of the other party's purpose.

The arrival of the Beasts Pirates was not what Lu Li had originally intended, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise and on the surface made the situation for the pirates much better.

But there are some problems here. That is, the World Government's trump card is always hidden in the dark. If they can really wipe out the navy, the Celestial Dragons' top leaders will probably not have any scruples. At that time, they will just fire an ancient weapon down and everyone present will be evaporated.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Lu Li did not intend to go too far in the war at the top. Not to mention that there were also good soldiers among the navy who were loyal to their duties and protected one side. Once they wiped out the navy, the attack of ancient weapons would probably come directly.

This is why Lu Li didn't want the Beasts Pirates to come to help. He can come and go freely by himself, and even if there are any risks, he can avoid them through various means. But it would be different if he had a large group of people with him.

Hearing Rafar's order now, Lu Li felt like he could no longer continue this war.

They could rush to the rear to kill the explorers of the arcane space, but the other side was obviously not a pushover. Even a chaotic fight would take a while. If they were really dragged until they released the forbidden spell of divine judgment, Lu Li would suffer a great loss.

The control effect on him will last for an hour. He has the lethality, but his defense and mobility are limited. It is difficult to kill the explorer of the arcane space quickly no matter how hard you try.

I was able to kill Blackbeard quickly before because he was too reckless. He always liked to recklessly fight until he was defeated. As a result, I seized the opportunity and killed him instantly with a set of true damage chain attacks. This situation cannot be replicated.

What's more, the use of full rebound consumes durability, and you can only use it twice at most.

After figuring out the key, Lu Li felt that the right solution for them now was to withdraw from the battlefield.

With this thought in mind, Lu Li rushed into the battlefield again. He first stabbed the robot Tyrant Bear that was attacking Kaido from behind. The power of the Thunder God Fruit was activated, and electric shock exploded in his body, directly burning out the mechanical structure and circuit.

"Bear!"

Ivankov exclaimed when he saw this scene and wanted to persuade Lu Li, but he was not in a position to do so. After all, the bear was no longer the bear he knew. It had become a mechanical killing weapon.

Lu Li pulled out the Prisoner, then turned over and kicked the bear in the lower back, sending the bear flying toward Ivankov. "Keep an eye on this crazy bear."

After Ivankov caught the bear, he was surprised to find that the bear was not dead yet. Only the mechanical part was destroyed, but the body was still active.

Lu Li rescued the bear on the way because he wanted to ask about Vegapunk through the bear later. He really wanted to know what relationship he had with Vegapunk in the "setting" of this world.

And judging from the fact that the Beasts Pirates are still developing peacefully in Wano Country, they probably haven't been able to complete the Ancient Weapon King. There may be some technical difficulties that cannot be overcome, so Lu Li is thinking about whether he should kidnap a scientist back.

After all, Quinn specializes in biology, so he probably wouldn't be very good at making ancient weapons.

"Mr. Kaido."

Lu Li rushed to Kaido and stopped him, who was already in a fighting state. "The World Government should have another killer move. We should not fight for a long time. Let's go back and make a long-term plan."

"what?"

Kaido's face was full of indignation. He had just stretched his muscles and was enjoying beating up two admirals.

"Everyone's safety is also very important. I don't want to see anyone get hurt here."

Lu Li reminded, he knew that a war was easy to start but difficult to end.

In the original work, if Red Hair had not used the ability of the Face Fruit, the War on Marineford would have been difficult to end.

It is the same now. The navy and pirates who are in a blood-thirsty state are difficult to stop. On the surface, the pirates have a big advantage. With their lineup, they can indeed defeat Marinford.

But the problem is that the forbidden spells of the King of Imu and the old perverts of the Olympus Adventure Group are a huge AOE threat. When the time comes, a divine judgment will come down, someone like Kaido with a lot of blood may be able to resist, but the rest of the Beasts Pirates will probably all be on their knees.

"Really..."

Kaido looked dissatisfied, but after what happened that year, he was still willing to listen to Lu Li's opinion. Besides, he came here to save Lu Li. Since Lu Li himself had no intention of retaliating against the navy on the spot, he was not so persistent.

He waved his mace to force Aokiji and Kizaru back, then called out to the Beasts Pirates, "Guys, let's go back!" Kaido's style of coming and going at will did not give people a feeling of "retreat", but instead made the navy feel a different kind of humiliation.

It was as if their Marine Headquarters was the back garden of the Beasts Pirates and they were just taking a walk after dinner.

Whitebeard, who was fighting fiercely with Sengoku and Garp, saw this scene and a smile appeared on his face.

If he could withdraw at this point, he would certainly be happy to do so. After all, if he joined Kaido in the trouble, his children would also suffer casualties.

"Sons, get back to the boat!"

Whitebeard also shouted and activated the ability of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit at the same time, repelling Sengoku and Garp. At the same time, the ground in front of him cracked and Marinford was actually broken into two halves by his attack.

A huge chasm appeared in front of him, with sea water constantly pouring in from both sides.

Seeing this, Zhan Guo's face was gloomy, but he felt relieved in his heart. Then he quickly grabbed Garp who was about to punch Whitebeard, and shook his head calmly.

He knew what Whitebeard meant. Using the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to break the island in half was not a demonstration, but a statement.

That line is the boundary. If they continue to pursue, crossing that line will mean continuing the war.

This is not what Sengoku wants. He sees the situation clearly. The navy has been defeated today. If they continue to fight and get entangled with Kaido and Whitebeard, they will only end up with the annihilation of the entire army.

At this time, through the spread of the video phone bug, people all over the world who were watching the live broadcast had become numb.

On the Sabaody Archipelago, a group of supernovas watched the result of the battle, sighing with emotion, and at the same time they all had the lofty ambition of "Are there any kings, princes, generals, or ministers who are born with a special kind of talent?", hoping that one day they could become one of the Four Emperors who could defeat the Marine Headquarters.

The big eater Bonnie was both excited and worried. She was excited because she saw her father being beaten and sent to Ivankov of the revolutionary army. When she was a child, her father told her some stories about the revolutionary army, and she also remembered that Ivankov was her father's good friend.

Seeing the large pirate group retreating, Ivankov also boarded the ship with Kuma, which meant that Kuma was free from the control of the World Government, which was of course a good thing for Bonnie.

As for her worry, it was because she saw her father being stabbed by that ferocious-looking natural disaster, and she didn't know what his current condition was.

You know, in the previous battle, even the admiral of the navy ended up in a very miserable state after being chopped by Lu Li. For a moment, Bonnie was very worried about her father's physical condition.

She couldn't wait to rush to the port and go out to sea, because the Sabaody Archipelago was very close to the Navy Headquarters, and she hoped she could still catch up and meet her father.

In Marinford, following the orders of Kaido and Whitebeard, the pirates have begun to rush towards the port and board their own ships one by one.

The Whitebeard Pirates suffered heavy losses in this battle. Many of their ships were destroyed by the meteor volcano released by Akainu earlier. Fortunately, there were still more than a dozen ships, enough to carry their surviving companions.

Ace and Luffy hugged each other at the port and then separated. Ace looked at Luffy and grinned, "Luffy, see you in the New World!"

"I'll be there soon!"

Luffy grinned widely, but after rescuing Ace, another problem that had been bothering him came to his mind.

That is... where were all his companions sent flying?
Also, through this war at the top, he deeply realized the shortcomings of his own strength.

He is a man who wants to become the Pirate King, but apart from anything else, the Vice-President like Brother Lu is far better than him.

Admiral Kizaru of the Navy had previously defeated supernovas like these in the Sabaody Archipelago with one kick each, but when facing Big Brother Lu, even when he was besieged by several admirals of the Navy, Big Brother Lu still killed two of them.

And Brother Lu is the vice-chairman of Kaido, the governor of beasts...

Luffy's not-so-bright brain can only conclude through a simple step-by-step comparison that he is a weakling. Let alone the Pirate King, he is now just a noob who can't even reach the Four Emperors.

In order to prevent his companions from encountering the same thing again on their future adventures, he made up his mind to practice and become stronger with his companions before embarking on the adventure again.

On the other side, Ivankov was holding the bear, thinking about shamelessly borrowing a boat to return to his Shemale Island, and then slowly find a way to "cure" the bear.

At this time, the group of the Beasts Pirates passed by, and Lu Li came out, "Ivankov, take him with me, I have something I want to ask the sober Bear."

Ivankov was a little hesitant. If he boarded the ship of the Four Emperors Kaido, would he be able to return safely?
However, his thoughts only lasted for a moment, because after careful recollection, he found that the Beasts Pirates have had a good reputation in recent years. To be honest, they no longer look like a pirate group, but more like a revolutionary army of practical people that has risen in the New World.

So he nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you."

Crocodile passed by at this time and glanced at Ivankov with an unhappy look on his face, but it seemed that Ivankov had some handle on him, so he couldn't say anything.

"Sand Crocodile, where are you going next?"

Lu Li greeted Crocodile after seeing him.

"It has nothing to do with you, right? The war is over, and I have contributed my share of it. After that, we went our separate ways."

Crocodile's expression was always as if someone owed him money, mainly because he felt very frustrated in this battle. Only later did he realize that he seemed to have been provoked and used by Whitebeard and the others.

Although he was very happy with the defeat of the navy, he did not find an opportunity to challenge Whitebeard until the end.

"Wow, where can you go as a wanted criminal with no power?"

Lu Li said with a smile, glancing at the group of scumbags on Bucky's side, "Are you going to hang out with Bucky?"

"what?"

Crocodile was full of indignation, thinking that Lu Li was joking, "What are you talking about? No matter how depraved I am, I can't possibly work with a clown like that, right?"

At this moment, the three members of MR.1-3 who had retreated from the battlefield also gathered together and followed Crocodile, apparently still preparing to follow their original boss.

Crocodile actually had already made up his mind. After returning, he would rebuild Baroque Works and continue his business. After he became stronger, he would challenge Whitebeard.

"I think you two are a good match. It would be nice to be his royal father."

Lu Li complained, ignoring Crocodile's weird expression, "If you have nowhere to go, come to our place. We'll let you see interesting things."
