Chapter 803 The war is over
"It's so tragic! No matter how hard we try, we are still late!"
Just as Vic and the three admirals of the navy were on the verge of a tense situation, a magnetic and deep voice resounded throughout the square.
Vic didn't look back. The three admirals also focused their attention on Vic, who might lose his temper at any time. The other navy and pirates looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a figure appeared on the shore of the port without them knowing when!
Everyone present recognized the figure. It was none other than Red-Haired Shanks, one of the famous Four Emperors. Shanks, who had rushed to mediate the fight in the original work, also appeared now.
"It's Red Hair Shanks!"
"The youngest emperor of the sea, why is he here?"
"Another Yonko has arrived! Are they going to bury the Marine Headquarters?"
"It's not just him coming. Look at the sea. That's the Red Force!"
"Look! The man smoking on the mast of that warship, is that Ben Beckman?"
"It's him! I saw him once!"
"That's over there..."
...
"Redhead! Did dad invite you here?"
"Marco! Dad wouldn't hire anyone for something like this. Maybe Vic hired him. They have a good relationship."
"Red Hair! The man who led Luffy to the path of pirates!"
"What does that red-haired guy want to do by coming here? Want to reap the benefits? Garp! Now is not the time to slack off!"
"Hmm! What do you think I'm wearing behind my back?"
"Old man! Do you want to see what you were doing before?"
"Xiaohe! I didn't help Vic before. This is already my greatest restraint. What else do you want?"
"Hmph!"*2
“Red-Haired Shanks! I didn’t expect that guy to come too. It’s really getting more and more exciting! It was worth the trip! Hihihihihihihi!”
"Shanks! How dare that bastard show up in front of me?"
"Master Buggy! Are you also acquainted with the Four Emperors Red Hair? With this tone, were you really a big shot?"
......
Shanks' appearance instantly attracted all attention. Of course, Shanks did not come alone, he brought a pirate ship and companions with him.
The cadres had arrived near the square without anyone noticing, and the pirate ship was slowly approaching the port. Only the pirate group of Red-Haired Shanks, the user of the Face Fruit, could have such an elusive ability. They were so powerful, and they were definitely the Four Emperors.
In fact, Shanks and his men were also coated and came over from the bottom of the sea. They came in a hurry. After they defeated Kaido in the New World, they immediately caught sea monsters and pulled the boat to the Marine Headquarters!
No one noticed them approaching by boat because the battle between Wick and the Blackbeard Pirates and the confrontation between Akainu's three admirals attracted everyone's attention.
Of course, the Red Hair Group cadres are still quite capable. If they want to approach quietly, ordinary people won’t be able to detect them. In addition, their attention is attracted by Vic and the others, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are elusive.
"Everyone! Give me some face. If we continue to fight, it will only mean more casualties. If anyone still hasn't had enough, we will be your opponents! Come on!"
Shanks still said the classic domineering words from the original work, but this time the target was different. In the original work, the main target was the Blackbeard Pirates, and the secondary target was the navy. The Whitebeard Pirates were already remnants, and more of a goal was to save them.
The deeper reason is that Luffy has not grown up yet, and the sea has not yet reached the point of running wild, so he must take action to delay time!
At this point, Shanks actually didn't target anyone. All the members of the Blackbeard Pirates had already escaped when Wick intercepted Akainu and confronted the three admirals. Of course, not all of them woke up, and several of them were carried away while escaping.
Blackbeard was so scared by Vic that he didn't even dare to covet Whitebeard's fruit ability. After waking up, he carried his unconscious partner and ran away.
Of course, the effective time of the ability to steal the fruit has passed, so it is useless for him to covet it. This made Blackbeard secretly resentful and he wrote down Vic in his little notebook.
The Navy's top brass ignored the departure of the Blackbeard Pirates. The battlefield was so chaotic, it was better for them to leave, and the Navy would be safer too.
The Navy had actually already compromised a long time ago, and was only forced to confront Wick again because of Akainu. If they were facing the Whitebeard Pirates, the Navy would not be a big deal, as the remnants without Whitebeard would not pose much of a threat.
But Vic is different, he is only one person, yet he has such strong combat power, the threat level is at its maximum, and he has no weaknesses at all, so what the navy lacks is just a step, and the arrival of Shanks just provides them with a step, so Shanks is not targeting the navy, but indirectly helping them.
As for Vic, it goes without saying that the two are friends and there can be no targeting. Vic will definitely give him face, and Shanks also knows that Vic will give him face, so when Shanks said this, no one will come out to refute him. The navy is also waiting for Vic's attitude.
"Shanks! I'll give you a favor this time. Get ready and drink. I'll come find you anytime!"
Vic took a serious look at the three admirals in front of him and all the navy behind them before giving Shanks a response.
Giving face to Shanks is one aspect, and another aspect is planning for the future. The navy has always been in Victor's plan, and in the future it will serve as the main force against the World Government, so Victor does not want to weaken them now. Even someone like Akainu has the possibility of change.
...
"The kid from the Feigaland family has messed things up again. He's such a troublemaker!"
"We didn't tell Zhan Guo the truth. At this point in the war, Zhan Guo no longer wants to waste the navy's manpower!"
"The Blackbeard Pirates are just so-so. They can't even get past Wick alone. They let them in for nothing!"
"Vic has always been a threat, but I didn't expect that after years of not taking action, he has become so powerful now and has become a big problem!"
"He has blatantly violated the agreement of the Seven Warlords this time, so his title can be revoked. If we set a high bounty for him, maybe someone will want to take his head. Not everyone wants to fight him squarely. There are so many conspiracies and despicable means. As long as one person succeeds, we will make a lot of money!"
"Are you sure that person is Vic?"
"It's not certain. He only defeated Akainu and the Blackbeard Pirates. Haki was the key when fighting them. He didn't use his fruit ability much. He mostly relied on the speed of his thunder ability to seize the initiative. This doesn't mean anything!"
"If they had fought just now, Vic could have defeated the three admirals of the navy head-on, which would have deepened his suspicion of him. Unfortunately, it was ruined by the red-haired guy!"
...
In the power struggle of the holy land of Marijoa, the Five Elders were a little disappointed when they saw in the light curtain that Wick decided to stop. They had seen that there would be a big battle between Wick and the three admirals, and this battle would help them select several strong men, but they were stopped by Shanks!
In fact, the Five Elders have been paying close attention to the battle at the Marine Headquarters. They have an independent set of surveillance equipment installed on the four tall sentry posts, so even if Sengoku turns off the camera Den Den Mushi, they can still see the specific situation on the scene.
What's more, Buggy also has a Den Den Mushi in his hand, and can occasionally see some specific content. Now with Shanks' participation, this war is really going to end!
"Please let us handle Whitebeard's affairs! The images of the battle have spread all over the world, so please stop making a fuss about his death!"
"Why do you take the initiative?"
"It's ok!"
"Master Marshal!"
"You can, Redhead!"
"But..."
"I will take the responsibility!"
"Good work!"
"The war is over!"
Seeing Vic speak, Shanks continued, as Whitebeard was once both an enemy and a friend to the captain, Shanks felt that he should respect him and not let Whitebeard's body be tossed around by the navy at will. He wanted to send Whitebeard on his final journey for the captain, so as to complete the friendship between the two.
However, Vice Admiral Doberman spoke out against it, but was finally stopped by Sengoku. I guess Sengoku was still blaming Doberman in his heart. Things were almost over, and you came out to add fuel to the fire. You were hoping that the navy would suffer heavy casualties, right? How could you not have any tact at all?
Even Akainu, whom you surrendered to, didn't say anything. You are really asking for death by jumping out as the first one to speak out. You can't even withstand any domineering use of these two, and yet you are jumping here so happily?
Of course, there is also a reason why Sengoku wants to pass on the blame because he is tired. This navy admiral really doesn't want to bear the responsibility anymore. He has been through the great pirate era since Roger founded it, and of course he knows the impact of what Roger said during his execution on the world.
Now Whitebeard has come again, and this old man really doesn't want to face it again, so he might as well hand over the position of marshal. He can't struggle anymore. This war will end no matter what. No matter what the outside world thinks of the navy, he will take full responsibility for the negative news about the navy by abdicating.
Now that Sengoku had spoken, no one from the navy said anything. The medical team began to enter the scene to treat and bandage the injured soldiers. Shanks and Wick came together to the standing body of Whitebeard, and together they worked to carry Whitebeard's body onto the wrecked Moby Dick in the bay.
In this way, the Dreyfuss led the way, followed by the damaged Moby-Dick, and then the remaining pirate ships and looted warships. All the pirates left the half-destroyed naval headquarters in an orderly manner.
Of course, this definitely does not include the Seven Warlords of the Sea, as they left through other channels. Buggy and the criminals brought out of Impel Down also left together on the warship. This time Buggy did not dare to look for Shanks, because Wick had been next to Shanks and he was a little afraid to go over.
When the large army passed through the Sabaody Archipelago, Vic asked Ivankov to take the unconscious Luffy to find Rayleigh. Luffy did not need to attend Whitebeard's funeral as he had more important things to do.
If Wick returns before Luffy wakes up, he will go to the Marine Headquarters with Luffy to deliver the message. If he cannot make it, it is the same if Rayleigh takes Luffy there. Anyway, the letter must be delivered, and two years of training is also necessary. The current Straw Hat Pirates cannot deal with the enemies in the New World!
The ending of the Marineford War did not change much. The biggest change was that Ace survived and Blackbeard did not obtain the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!
There are quite a few smaller ones, at least because of the appearance of Wick, many of the Whitebeard Pirates who had originally died are now alive. The moment Wick stopped Akainu was the moment their fate changed. In short, the War of Marineford is completely over!
