Chapter 177 Warring States Period: What's going on? A riddle?
……
"I'll say it one last time..."
Rayleigh pushed up his slipping glasses and glanced at the encirclement formed by the navy.
"The reason why Uchiha Allen joined the Navy is far beyond your imagination."
"A guy whose heart is filled with violence and indifference insists on putting on a righteous and awe-inspiring act..."
"He's a true monster. If we don't stop him, the Navy's justice will be swallowed up sooner or later!"
The seagull flag fluttered in the wind.
Akainu tilted his head and sneered, "Your speech was terrible, and it's not much of a good last words either."
He moved.
tumultuous!!!
The raging, scorching lava scattered the crowd, and Rayleigh drew his sword.
His every strike was incredibly precise and concise. Although he blocked every punch, the splashing lava dripped onto his shoulders, and his faded cloak was burned with several holes.
brush--
Rayleigh seized the opportunity and sliced off Akainu's epaulettes with his sword: "Sakazuki, you're still the same as before, too stubborn."
"That's why you can't see—"
……
"Haunted Dog!!"
His response was a roar of lava.
He lacked even the interest to refute the pirates' sermons.
Faced with such a fierce attack, Rayleigh dared not be careless, and his Conqueror's Haki rapidly condensed on the blade.
"Thallium Blade from the Other Shore!!"
As he slashed, the air pressure in front of Rayleigh changed abruptly, and the air itself was forced back.
This is a vacuum slash!
The air in the path is instantly removed to create an absolute vacuum zone!
This skill is also known as the Gate to the Underworld!
……
boom!!!!!
The magma hound collided with the vacuum sword energy, distorting the atmosphere.
Vacuum is supposed to isolate flames from burning, but a magma fist imbued with top-tier Armament Haki possesses destructive power beyond the rules!
The two forces erupted at the center point, and the shockwave spread fiercely.
……
"Stay away from Admiral Sakazuki's warband; this is not a battle we can get involved in!!"
The outermost layer of the encirclement consisted of elite marines, while the innermost layer was comprised of major generals and commodores.
Onigumo and other elite admirals formed the innermost encirclement, and the former members of Roger's pirate crew tried to escape several times but were driven back each time.
……
As the only pirate crew to complete the Grand Line, the strength of the Roger Pirates cannot be overstated.
But aside from Rayleigh and Jabba, the other members are currently only comparable to vice admirals, and that's for combat members.
Rayleigh didn't bother non-combat personnel like the ship's doctor at all.
Age is one aspect, and another...
Even at their peak, they weren't that strong.
A crew like the Red-Haired Pirates, where all members possess considerable strength, is extremely rare.
……
Rayleigh and Jabba's strength is undoubtedly top-tier, enough to rival an Admiral.
But there are at least five admirals present, along with numerous vice admirals proficient in both types of Haki...
Not to mention the nearly one hundred large warships and tens of thousands of naval elites.
There is no chance of winning.
Anyone can see the huge difference between the two.
……
-
"This is the navy's annihilation of the old era."
A one-eyed pirate sighed softly, "A pirate who knows the location of the One Piece... could it be..."
The pirates who initially came to watch the spectacle now felt a deep sense of desolation.
Encircled in an impenetrable net, the Roger Pirates, who had once turned the world upside down, were like turtles in a jar, with nowhere to escape.
……
The fall of a legendary pirate crew is too mundane, isn't it?
-
brush--
With a flash of axe, Kizaru's body was severed in two.
Jabba grinned, gripping his axe: "You've already transformed into your elemental form... Your Observation Haki can see really far!"
Bright yellow light flickered at his fingertips, and Kizaru let out two strange cries: "How terrifying! You almost killed me!"
"Uncle, it would be better if you didn't use such a vicious weapon."
call out--
A beam of light struck the giant axe, but was deflected by its jet-black Armament Haki.
boom!!!!
The tiny specks of light that splashed out landed on the icy road, instantly shattering the ice bridge. The terrifying shockwave caused nearby warships to rock violently.
……
A deputy base commander from the South China Sea branch clung to the railing of a warship, trying to keep himself from being blown away.
He broke out in a cold sweat looking at the battle group in the center.
Is this the strength of a commander-in-chief...?
Let alone participating... even just watching is dangerous!!
……
……
Sengoku watched for a while, then said to Aokiji beside him, "There's no problem here, you go over to Allen's side."
"It would be a shame if Shanks got away."
……
"Uh..." Aokiji paused habitually, "But Allen said we don't need any help."
"Does he think he can just say it's not necessary? As a general, are you expected to follow his orders?"
Sengoku acted like a boss looking for trouble, but...
He noticed something was wrong.
We're missing a key figure: Beckman!
Beckman's strength is no less than Shanks', so much so that the Navy specifically locked them both up in Impel Down, while it was fine to keep the others at Headquarters.
……
Beckman, who has been absent for so long, may already be lurking with Allen.
Having already lost the direct battle, Sengoku guessed that he must be planning a covert attack on Allen.
If that's really the case...
Allen is in trouble!
……
Shanks is a bit stronger than expected, the problem is that Jailer Beast...
wrong!!
Sengoku suddenly remembered something; that thing was exactly the same as the description of a Devil Fruit he had once read!
Zoan type - Mythical Zoan type - Dog-Dog Fruit - Cerberus!
That mode of expression...
Shanks' sword ate the Devil Fruit!
He only recently received a report about the research on feeding weapons Zoan-type Devil Fruits…
When did he get involved with Vegapunk?
He's been in Impel Down for the past two months...
……
The more he thought about it, the more gloomy Zhan Guo's face became.
Shanks' identity was no secret among the old guys; he was the son of a Celestial Dragon whom Roger had found in God Valley.
He also entered the Holy Land and acted as a follower of the Knights of God, but he withdrew after a short time.
Therefore, the Five Elders did not express any opinion on Shanks' execution.
Those who have turned their backs on God deserve to die.
I kept thinking... and the more I thought about it, the more something seemed off.
Sengoku heard from Harald the Giant King that Shanks had an identical twin brother.
……
Thoughts collided rapidly, and golden light emanated from his forehead.
A Mythical Zoan type user in Buddha form, possessing wisdom akin to that of a Buddha.
Sengoku recalled Rayleigh's gaze towards Shanks—strange, but certainly not as warm as when he looked at a former trainee on the ship.
Is it...
Zhan Guo's pupils contracted sharply as a golden light pierced his brain.
Now that I think about it, Allen's eyes were strange too!
Xiaohe had told him that when she invited Allen to visit Shanks, Allen showed obvious disdain.
He showed disdain for the victor, which was a bit arrogant, but what young person isn't arrogant?
But when Shanks appeared, Allen's eyes were filled with fanaticism!
This kid isn't good at pretending. When the Whitebeard Pirates were infiltrating, Sengoku knew that they had already seen through him.
and many more……
White beard!
Whitebeard also knew about God Valley, knew that Shanks was that person's son, and perhaps he knew that they were twins!
Harald would tell me, and most likely Whitebeard, that they are closer!
So...
Did Whitebeard tell Allen?!
……
The Warring States period gasped in shock.
There was no direct evidence, but he was certain...
Allen knew that the person was not Shanks, but a Celestial Dragon from the Knights of God!
They deliberately separated the battlefield to prevent others from helping them...
Allen really wanted to kill that person!!
Rayleigh... so that's why he said that?
That's incredibly bold of you! You little rascal!!
……
-
Aokiji shrugged helplessly and took a step to go and provide assistance.
Zhan Guo quickly reached out his hand; the situation was too complicated, and he hadn't yet figured out what to do.
Just as he was about to call out to Aokiji...
tumultuous----!!!
On one side of the battlefield, a massive current of water surged into the sky, and a prison ship descended from the heavens.
……
"Hahahaha!!! You're still alive, Yasopp!!"
"I've come to save you!!"
Upon seeing who it was, everyone fell silent.
What happened...?
That is……
Shanks!!!
