Nautical Highlights: Showcasing Battles Between Emperors and Shoguns

Page 62

When Ace was seen to have his chest pierced by Akainu, the whole world was in an uproar.

Edward Newgate: That despicable Akainu! How dare he treat my son like this! I will make you pay!

[Jozu: Akainu, you're dead! I'll never let you get away with this!]

Marco: I failed to save Ace. I've completely neglected my duty...

[Sakazuki: I told you long ago, I would strike hard against pirates and show no mercy. This is the consequence of your provocation of the Navy—you are doomed!!]

Vista: Damn it... Didn't Ace and Aokiji go toe-to-toe before? I never thought it would end like this...

[Sakazuki: Heh, don't equate me with other generals.]

[Gecko Moria: So this is the true strength of a Marine Admiral? Even Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, couldn't withstand a single blow from him.]

[Jin: It seems we absolutely cannot casually fight a general who is going all out!]

[Sengoku: This is the power of the Navy. Now you know how formidable we are? Very good! Akainu, you've done well in this war.]

[Borsalino: Oh my, Akainu, it seems Fleet Admiral Sengoku has taken a liking to you! You might just become Fleet Admiral someday.]

[Sakazuki: Heh, if I become Fleet Admiral, there will be no way for pirates to survive in this world.]

Gol D. Roger: Hmph, what an arrogant magma brat. You harmed my son, robbing him of his right to pursue freedom and adventure. I'll make sure you know what the consequences are!

Sakazuki: Hmph, bring it on!

……

in the picture.

At this moment, Akainu wanted to finish off Luffy and the others, so he walked directly in front of them.

"Heh. Is Fire Fist Ace still breathing? Then let me finish you off completely!"

Ace was already on the verge of death.

Luffy was also utterly despondent, his mind completely blank.

The other pirates immediately sprang into action, desperately trying to stop Akainu from harming Luffy and the others.

Even at this moment, Akainu remained unmoved.

They are very determined to continue the attack.

At this point, Marco's hands were locked with sea stone handcuffs, so he was unable to continue fighting.

Even if other lower-level pirates focused their attacks on Akainu, they still couldn't inflict much damage on him.

He simply transformed his body into an elemental form to evade these attacks.

At this moment, Whitebeard was also extremely grief-stricken and angry, and wanted to use his Tremor-Tremor Fruit to attack Akainu from afar.

rumbling...

However, before he could attack, Kizaru on the other side fired a laser cannon, wounding Whitebeard.

This also interrupted his attack.

"Oh dear, I won't let you help others so easily, Whitebeard!"

……

Upon seeing this, everyone once again launched into a tirade of criticism.

Charlotte Linlin: Good grief, it's Kizaru again. I'd almost forgotten about him. But here he is again, trying to make his presence known. Looks like he's no good against anyone else. But he's pretty good against Whitebeard. I wonder what he's been doing all this time.

Charlotte Katakuri: If the two admirals joined forces, even a Yonko (Emperor of the Sea) would probably be no match for them. But we probably won't have the chance to see the two admirals fight side by side.

[Borsalino: See, see, I told you I wasn't an undercover agent, right?]

[Crocodile: Hahaha, although you're not a spy for the Whitebeard Pirates, you're clearly biased towards Luffy.]

Gecko Moria: Either he really is an undercover agent... or he definitely knows that attacking Luffy will anger Garp. But attacking others won't cause any problems.

Charlotte Katakuri: That's incredibly cunning! He's the perfect embodiment of a naval officer! To reach the rank of Admiral, he's got some skills; he knows who to target and who not to.

[Shiki: People like Borsalino and Kuzan, who are so pragmatic and quick to adapt, might actually become Fleet Admirals!]

[Donquixote Doflamingo: Fufufufufufufu, unlike this Akainu, who fights just anyone. But he's completely inflexible; if he offends someone with connections, he'll have no place in the Navy.]

[Sengoku: Hmph, don't slander our navy like that. In our navy, only the capable rise to high positions; we don't care about connections.]

[Sakazuki: As long as I perform meritorious service, everyone will have to give me face, and the Five Elders will definitely value me highly.]

……

Amidst the frenzied discussion, finally someone in the scene managed to stop Akainu's attack.

It was none other than Jinbe, the knight of the sea.

He began to fight against Akainu on his own, without retreating.

Akainu shouted loudly after seeing Jinbe.

"Stop making futile struggles. You were one of the original Shichibukai, so you should know just how strong I really am, right?"

Jinbe continued speaking with great enthusiasm.

"Even if it means death, I will buy you some time so that you can't continue to hurt them."

……

the other side.

The Whitebeard Pirates finally managed to find and invite Galdino, the third brother, to help them make a key to unlock Marco's handcuffs.

And after that.

Garp, also consumed by rage, could not bear it any longer and walked step by step toward Akainu.

boom! boom! boom! !

With each step he took, a crater was blasted into the ground, which shows how much pain he was in.

Upon seeing this, Sengoku was extremely anxious and rushed over, pressing his head down so that his face slammed into the ground.

boom! ! !

"Karp, what are you doing?"

And at this time.

Garp just gritted his teeth and said it.

"Just hold me down like this, Sengoku! Otherwise, I might not be able to resist killing this Sakazuki!"

He had reached his limit and was almost overwhelmed by the pain of losing his loved ones and the intense hatred.

During the Warring States period, he could only sigh repeatedly.

He also understood his colleague's feelings very well, and could only hold him down tightly.

There's a fear that this unstable bomb might explode at any moment.

……

The scene depicted in the video once again caused a sensation throughout the One Piece world.

[Kaido: I didn't expect Garp still couldn't tolerate Akainu doing this! It would be best if they fought!]

[Jin: Indeed, with the legendary strength of Garp's Marines, he could absolutely wipe out Akainu. After all, he's the one who destroyed the Rocks Pirates!]

Charlotte Katakuri: He's also a Marine who's been chasing the Pirate King for years. He only managed to subdue Shiki and stop him from destroying Marine Headquarters by teaming up with Sengoku.

[Silbaz Reilly: The only thing that can stop him is the word "justice" behind him...]

[Sengoku: Garp, don't do something so stupid! How could you attack the Navy?]

[Sakazuki: Hmph, I have wiped out all pirates, that's beyond question, and no one can hold me accountable.]

[Donquixote Doflamingo: Hmph, it would be so much fun if the Marines really fought each other first!]

[Crocodile: Well! It seems that out of all these people, only Akainu really put in the effort!]

[Gekko Moria: He really worked hard... Before, I said everyone was just acting out the Sengoku period, but now even the Sengoku period is going easy on him; it's all an act.]

Monkey D. Luffy: Damn it! I will never let you succeed. If it happens again, I will save Ace and defeat you all completely.

Charlotte Linlin: Sigh. Straw Hat Luffy, with your current strength, you're still far from being a true Yonko. I bet you don't know when you'll officially become one of the Four Emperors, do you?

……

In the scene, the battle between Akainu and Jinbe continues.

At this point, it seemed that Jinbe was about to meet a terrible end.

Fortunately, Marco the Phoenix and Vista the Flower Sword arrived in time, which distracted Akainu and saved Jinbe.

However, even with the combined efforts of their two top-tier team leaders, they still couldn't exert much pressure on Akainu.

Meanwhile, Luffy still couldn't believe it.

"Ace, you're injured! You need to get healed quickly. Hurry..."

Luffy's voice was trembling with tears, and he began to speak incoherently.

However, Ace's blood continued to gush out, which was extremely frightening.

Ace knew he was doomed, and he said weakly.

"I'm so sorry, Luffy! I've made you suffer for so long, but in the end, I still couldn't escape this fate!"

Luffy still couldn't believe it, and quickly asked the Ivankov and others behind him to find someone to treat Ace.

However, after seeing Ace's injuries, they all fell silent, unable to speak of this painful truth.

At this point, Ace was beyond saving; his internal organs had been completely pierced.

No one can save him.

Ace continued speaking weakly.

He looked at Luffy with a sorrowful smile.

"It's no use, don't waste your time, Luffy. If it weren't for the Sabo incident, and you, this troublesome guy who loves to cause trouble, I wouldn't want to live either..."

"When you see Dadan, please say hello for me..."
