"Hancock, what are you doing?!!!"
Aokiji's face was frosty, and in his anger, countless cold energies condensed into ice crystals.
If Hancock hadn't suddenly intervened just now, he could have certainly saved Garp.
Even if severely injured, it was better than being dead.
On the icy battlefield, countless eyes filled with hatred glared at Hancock.
Pirates were pirates; they couldn't be trusted at all, turning against the Marine at a crucial moment!
Hearing this, Hancock smoothed her hair, leaped, and with her slender feet on Salome's back, she looked down at everyone with disdain and declared proudly:
"This Empress only promised to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates. This Empress never said she would be an enemy of Reno, nor did this Empress say she wouldn't attack the Marine!"
"So this Empress isn't violating the agreement at all, besides—"
As she spoke, Hancock struck her classic alluring pose and said coquettishly:
"This Empress is so beautiful, like a celestial fairy, you will forgive this Empress, won't you?!!!"
In an instant, countless Marine Soldiers had hearts in their eyes, nodding vigorously like pounding garlic:
"Yes, we will all forgive you."
"This damned charm."
"I... I'm completely smitten..."
Under the Mero Mero no Mi (Love-Love Fruit) ability, the Marine Soldiers had no power to resist, unable to feel even the slightest anger.
"Shut up!!!"
A cold shout exploded, and the Marine Soldiers felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over their heads, their eyes regaining clarity.
"Hancock!!" Aokiji glared at Hancock, his killing intent palpable.
In the matter of Garp's death, Hancock's crime was no less than Reno's!
Hancock returned to her normal state, glancing down at her proud figure, tightly wrapped in clothes, then shot Reno a resentful look.
If she had been wearing her previous wine-red hollowed-out cheongsam, let alone these small fry, even an Admiral would have succumbed to her charm.
Hancock pouted helplessly.
No choice, her man was too possessive, so she could only indulge him.
"Well done." Reno, after using the Healing Power to fully recover his strength, instantly teleported over and nodded slightly to Hancock.
Although he had killed Garp, the battle just now had also consumed a tremendous amount of his energy.
With his current strength, defeating an Admiral-level powerhouse wasn't difficult, but killing one wasn't easy either.
"When has this Empress ever dropped the ball?" Hancock lightly tapped her toes, leaped off Salome, intimately linked her arm with Reno's, and looked at him as if seeking praise.
The sight of the two acting as if no one else was around made tens of thousands of Marines and pirates freeze in place, their expressions stunned.
They all knew Reno was lecherous, only recruiting female crew members.
But who was Hancock?!
The famous pirate empress of the seas, one of the Shichibukai, the ruler of Amazon Lily, had actually been conquered by Reno too?!
Everyone who came to their senses gasped.
If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, who would believe that the proud and aloof Pirate Empress Boa Hancock could have such an obedient side?!
For the first time, they felt that describing Hancock as a 'little woman' didn't feel out of place at all.
"Han! Cock!!!"
On the execution platform, Sengoku's molars ground together, making a grating sound.
If he wasn't mistaken, Reno had definitely been on Amazon Lily in the Calm Belt during the past month he was missing!!
Damn it!!!
Wait.
Sengoku, trembling with rage, suddenly froze.
If he remembered correctly, before coming here, Hancock had also made a trip to Impel Down.
Thinking of this, Sengoku's heart sank, and an ominous premonition arose.
All the inmates locked up there were serious offenders!!
"Sengoku, don't shout. This Empress can hear you."
Hancock cast a cold glance and replied chillingly.
Sengoku temporarily set aside his jumbled thoughts and angrily rebuked: "Hancock, do you know the consequences of doing this?!!!"
"Before long, Amazon Lily will cease to exist because of your foolish actions today!!"
"Even if you escape, the other women on the island won't be able to run!!"
Sengoku's words were sharp and precise; he was truly furious.
Hearing this, Hancock curled her lips into a disdainful sneer and retorted: "Sengoku, you'd better think about how to get through today's predicament."
"Why don't you take a good look at the current situation."
Hancock playfully gestured towards the four directions of the battlefield.
Sengoku suppressed his anger, letting out a heavy breath through his nose.
If one word had to be used to describe the entire battlefield, it would be 'unstoppable'!
The Whitebeard Pirates were unstoppable, with fifty thousand troops making ten thousand Marine elites cry out in pain!
Garp's tragic death caused the adrenaline of all pirates to surge. With equal strength, they fought one against two, not falling behind in the slightest!
Each of them was like a ferocious beast, charging fearlessly towards the inner bay, and the situation was excellent!
"Hahahahaha Reno, thank you!!!"
"Lads, the outer bay is about to be breached by us, keep charging!!"
"Oh oh oh!!"
"Even Garp is dead, what's there to be afraid of, kill!!!"
"..."
The Whitebeard Pirates Members all cast friendly glances at Reno, then launched a new round of charges.
First, he stalled Garp and Kizaru, two top combatants, then killed Garp, and now even Hancock had turned against the Marine.
The powerful enemies were constantly decreasing, and all of this was thanks to Reno.
It was confirmed, Reno was their good brother from different fathers and mothers!!
Reno was expressionless, but in his heart, he sneered, you're thanking me too soon!
The brighter you smile now, the more tragically you'll cry later.
Reynold tilted his head, looking at the Moby Dick. Whitebeard, holding Murakumogiri, stood proudly at the ship's bow, majestic and imposing, his cape flapping in the wind.
Akainu's movements were too slow; he still hadn't forced Whitebeard to make a move.
Reynold grumbled inwardly.
Although he wanted to reclaim the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he wouldn't be foolish enough to become a Marine's pawn.
He just needed to sit back and watch.
Once Whitebeard and Akainu fought each other to a draw, he would strike like lightning and finish the job!
Lost in thought.
Thump, thump, thump.
Thump, thump, thump.
A series of heavy footsteps came from the misty outer sea, growing louder as they approached.
Like war drums beating, the violent tremors made the scattered rocks and ice chunks on the ice surface leap.
"Captain Little Oars is here!!!"
A Pirate shouted, pointing towards the outer sea.
Hearing this, many of his comrades showed excited expressions.
The Ancient Giant, a true weapon of war!
"Damn it, who is it this time? Is it never-ending?!"
"What is that thing? Why is it so big?!"
"Is this also a member of the Whitebeard Pirates?!"
The Marine Soldiers looked in horror at the mountain-like, robust figure, fear rising in their hearts.
Opposite them, an enormous, green-skinned super Giant, even more Giant than the Giant, was approaching.
With each step, his massive body brought a mountain-like sense of oppression.
The Marine Soldiers, who had already lost all will to fight, saw Little Oars and their legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Damn it, is that a descendant of Oars the Continent Puller?!" Fleet Admiral Sengoku frowned slightly, a headache brewing.
This guy was indeed insignificant in front of true powerhouses, but to a hundred thousand elite Marines, he was nothing more than tiny ants.
"Ace, wait for me! I'll save you right away!!!"
Little Oars, wielding a horse-slaying saber dozens of meters long, swung it casually, like a scythe cutting grass, taking a swath of bloody heads with it.
The Marine Soldiers' faces still held expressions of terror even in death.
Perhaps finding the horse-slaying saber unwieldy, Little Oars disdainfully tossed it aside.
He then picked up a marine warships as a weapon, sweeping it across a wide area.
A marine warships weighing hundreds of tons swept through, and even a graze could take dozens of lives.
"Ace, wait for me!!!"
Little Oars took heavy steps, steadily advancing with single-minded focus.
He paid no mind to either Garp or Reynold.
His only goal was Ace on the execution platform!
Even enduring the bombardment of Marine artillery, his steps did not waver in the slightest.
"Aren't you three going to make a move?!"
"Are you also going to betray the Marine like Hancock!!!"
Sengoku roared towards the area where the Shichibukai were located!
"Fufufufufu, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, don't be angry. I have no such intentions."
Heavenly Yaksha Doflamingo shrugged, then put his hands in his pockets and walked towards Little Oars with an arrogant stride.
Mihawk said nothing, drew his sword, and joined the battlefield, seeking out Flower Sword Vista, the Fifth Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, who was also a swordsman.
Sengoku was on the verge of a rampage; there was no need for him to provoke Sengoku at this moment.
"Ehehehehehe, it's time for me to expand my zombie army!!!"
Gekko Moria chuckled sinisterly, rubbing his hands together excitedly before heading to the area with the most corpses.
His mission today was simple: lie low and develop.
Of course, he also had to guard against Doflamingo's sneak attacks.
On the other side, Doflamingo proactively engaged Little Oars. With his String-String Fruit Ability, Little Oars quickly fell into a disadvantage, like a puppet being toyed with. New injuries constantly appeared on his body, crisscrossing, and his forward momentum was forcibly halted.
"Fufufufufu, so you're Little Oars, huh?!"
"Five Color Strings!!!"
Doflamingo cackled, pulling out five different colored strings with his hands. In a flash, he sliced off one of Little Oars' legs.
The killing machine in others' eyes was just a younger brother to him.
Splat!
Suddenly, blood gushed out like a geyser, a shocking sight.
Already heavily wounded, Little Oars finally couldn't hold on after losing his left leg, and he crashed down with a thud.
"I—" Sengoku's face darkened, and he cursed out loud.
Little Oars, by an unfortunate coincidence, fell precisely onto the surrounding wall of the inner bay, smashing a huge gap in it.
You're still causing trouble even before you die, aren't you?!
This way, the Whitebeard Pirates could surge straight through, with no further obstacles.
"Brothers, don't let Captain Little Oars down! Charge!!!"
"Damn it, avenge Captain Little Oars!!!"
"Marines in the inner bay, clean your necks! I'm coming!"
Though sorrowful, the Whitebeard Pirates naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.
Once they broke into the inner bay, rescuing Ace was only two or three steps away.
Led by Diamond Jozu, Flower Sword Vista, and other Division Commanders like Atmos the Water Buffalo, a host of Whitebeard Pirates Members charged forward rapidly.
Marco the Phoenix circled in the sky, awaiting an opportunity.
0... seeking fresh flowers --- Meanwhile.
"Everyone, get out of the way!!!"
Accompanied by a loud shout, Whitey Bay steered her icebreaker, expanding the existing breach even further.
Following closely behind her were over a dozen Captains from affiliated Pirate Crews of the Whitebeard Pirates.
They had successfully broken through the outer Marine blockade and arrived to provide support.
The battlefield situation was looking very favorable for the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Little Oars..."
At the bow of the whale ship, Whitebeard gazed at the fallen giant figure, sighing softly.
He had warned Little Oars before coming here.
But it was useless.
On a battlefield crowded with powerhouses, Little Oars' size made him a living target.
"Pops!"
Just then, Squard, one of the affiliated Captains known as the Great Whirlpool Spider, suddenly boarded the whale ship.
"Here it comes!!!" Reynold's eyes lit up.
The famous scene of filial piety between father and son was about to unfold!
The next scene unfolded exactly as it did in the original story.
Squard, deceived by Akainu, stabbed Whitebeard with his sword.
After Whitebeard's loving explanation, Squard finally learned the truth.
"Pops!!!" Squard cried tears of regret.
"My foolish son..."
A massive arm embraced Squard.
Whitebeard shook his head dismissively, his voice gentle: "It's not your fault. You were also deceived by Sakazuki."
"Pops..." Squard's voice trembled, his heart wrenching as he saw the blood flowing from Whitebeard's chest.
All of this was his doing.
"Squard, I told you, it's not your fault."
Whitebeard released Squard, held his naginata, and leaped from the bow of the whale ship.
Accompanied by an invisible wave of air that swept in all directions, Whitebeard's cold voice slowly spread...
..."Sakazuki, to use such despicable methods to sow discord between me and my sons!"
In the inconspicuous crowd, Akainu, clad in a dark red suit, slowly emerged. Looking at the penetrating sword wound on Whitebeard's chest, he sneered: "Whitebeard, Squard never trusted you to begin with. I merely added fuel to the fire."
"Sakazuki, you're looking for death!!!"
A dragon has a reverse scale; touch it and die!
And all his sons before him were Whitebeard's reverse scales!
Whitebeard said no more. His tall figure leaped up, his naginata enveloped in a transparent aura, as he fiercely slashed towards Akainu.
"Hahahaha, Whitebeard, this place will be your grave today!!!"
"Inugami Guren!!!"
Akainu refused to be outdone. He stepped forward, his right arm suddenly transforming into high-temperature magma, condensing into the shape of a dog's head.
The ferocious hyena opened its gaping maw, stretching as it lunged to bite Whitebeard's chest.
The battle between the Marine's top Admiral and the world's strongest man had fully erupted!
Watching the two engaged in fierce combat, Reynold nodded with satisfaction.
Of course, he wasn't idle either, constantly entangled with Aokiji.
He occasionally glanced at the battle between Kizaru and Nami and the seven women.
The main force was naturally Nami and Robin, with the others responsible for sneak attacks and interference from the side.
The two sides were at a stalemate for a time.
"Hancock, hold Aokiji off. I'll be right back!" After shattering an ice bird, Reynold used his Observation Haki to sense his surroundings, then disappeared from the spot!
Inner Bay battlefield.
"You despicable Pirates, not a single one of you will leave Naval Headquarters alive today!!!"
"Kakehane Gaki!!!"
Navy Captain Hina coldly shouted, and two fence-like iron branches suddenly extended from her jade arms.
"What is this thing?!"
"Damn it, everyone be careful!!!"
Within the encirclement, over a dozen White Group Pirates braced themselves, but it was too late.
"Trap them!!!"
Tina's gaze sharpened, her arms closing in, and the fences rapidly contracted, directly enveloping more than a dozen Pirates.
"Ah!!!"
At the same time, not far from Tina.
Accompanied by two screams, two Pirates fell in unison, covered in blood.
Their chests were directly riddled with holes, like a hornet's nest.
A blessing for those with trypophobia.
"Iska, well done!"
Tina's praise came from beside her.
Iska's face flushed, and she humbly shook her head, "You're still more impressive, Officer."
Tina nodded slightly and continued to praise, "Neither arrogant nor impatient, very good."
"Continue, kill all these Pirates who are wreaking havoc on the seas!"
"Yes, Officer!" Iska nodded heavily.
However, just as the two were preparing to shift battlefields and deal with other Whitebeard Pirates Members.
A tall figure suddenly appeared in their vision.
"Reno...Reno?!"
"Reno!"
Their delicate bodies trembled involuntarily.
"Come with me." Reno chuckled, looking at the two women who were trembling with fear, and without another word, he instantly teleported them back to the luxurious spaceship!
As their shock had not yet subsided, Reno skillfully planted the Slave Mark on them.
As long as she was a beautiful Marine, no further words were needed.
Things like stance could not be changed by a few words from him.
"You two introduce yourselves to each other first." After leaving a simple message for the women, Reno teleported away again, returning to the battlefield.
