I'm a villain in the movies and TV series "All Heavens".

Chapter 299 Akainu, do you think I, Garp, can't lift a sword?

Just as Kizaru felt his body heat rapidly draining away, his body growing colder and colder, and his consciousness becoming somewhat blurred, a figure suddenly appeared in the arena like lightning.

The expeditionary force, still reeling from the shock of Kizaru's near-death experience, saw the figure of a man dressed in a flamingo outfit and wearing large bat-shaped sunglasses.

The initial joy turned to shock, and the emotions that had not yet subsided were suddenly plunged into a deathly silence of despair.

Mo Fei's sudden turn suggests the arrival of reinforcements from the Nightmare Pirates. Meanwhile, their own side has just lost a top-tier fighter.

With the tide turning and the tide turning, their risky gamble has already squandered all their initial advantage. Unless a miracle occurs, their defeat is practically a foregone conclusion.

At this moment, Mo Fei looked at Kizaru lying on the ground, his breath almost gone, and a conflicted look flashed in his eyes.

With the Dark-Dark Fruit, if he hadn't encountered a fruit ability that was extremely suitable for him...

He certainly wouldn't give up easily the Dark-Dark Fruit, which has the ability to extract Devil Fruits.

Although the Glint-Glint Fruit is considered a top-tier Devil Fruit, it doesn't offer nearly as much benefit as the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Moreover, it seems that Kizaru wasn't actually averse to death, so it would be a real shame for him to die like that.

"Kizaru, you're about to die. Is there anything you haven't finished wishing for?"

Mo Fei crouched down in front of Kizaru, whose breath was growing weaker and weaker, and asked Kizaru a question with feigned regret before letting out a long sigh and muttering to himself:

"It's a pity you can't be used by me, otherwise I could heal such a minor injury with a wave of my hand, and you would have had to risk your life for nothing."

Kizaru, who was already on the verge of death, suddenly regained the life force that was about to dissipate in his eyes after hearing Mo Fei's murmur.

He suddenly raised his hand and tightly gripped Mo Fei's ankle beside him, coughing up blood and frothing at the mouth as he spoke haltingly:

"You didn't even ask me, how do you know I don't want to work with you? I don't want to die, please save me!"

Mo Fei, who was facing away from Kizaru, immediately smiled when Kizaru reached out and grabbed his ankle.

After hearing Kizaru's desperate plea for help, his face immediately lit up with a smile.

When Kizaru gets serious, he can be considered one of the most troublesome top-tier fighters in One Piece.

Not only is he extremely good at surviving, but he also has virtually no weaknesses in terms of lethality and other aspects. How could he not be happy to have such a powerful henchman by his side?

"Healing you is no problem, but I need to take a wisp of your soul fire first to ensure you keep your word. Now, release your mental will and cooperate with my actions. Don't resist!"

……

Just as Mo Fei was exchanging words with Kizaru, a group of reinforcements brought by Mo Fei also quickly entered the scene and started a melee with the Navy.

After rushing back to Sabaody Archipelago, Mo Fei didn't hesitate to use his comeback points, immediately spending dozens of points to summon several top warriors from the X World.

With the addition of the blond-haired Baby John, Ice Man, Deadpool, Juggernaut, and Azazel, who was recruited earlier, the pirates now had five more admirals.

Each of these individuals possessed at least a level four mutant ability, and their appearance immediately unleashed a bloodbath on the battlefield.

The red tank, which had been constantly charging up its power along the way, was now like an armored beast powered by nuclear energy. All its opponents that stood in its way were instantly smashed into mincemeat.

Both John the Fireman and Bobby the Iceman possess destructive power comparable to Logia-type Devil Fruit users.

In an instant, flames danced wildly on the field, and ice crystals flew everywhere, causing the conquering army to howl in agony and screams.

The little rascal who cost Mo Fei fifteen points to recruit didn't waste his exorbitant price.

Suddenly, a bright red light flashed in his eyes, and a laser beam burst forth, instantly cleaving all the creatures in the vast area in front of him in half.

But when the furious Akainu suddenly closed in and launched an attack on him...

Two adamantium steel swords were immediately drawn, unleashing a flurry of fierce slashes that left Akainu, who had been planning to rush in and pick off the fleeing enemy, questioning his very existence.

Van O'Call, whom Mo Fei brought back from Fishman Island, transformed into the Grim Reaper of the battlefield.

Those high-ranking naval officers who were engaged in battle would occasionally die silently, their heads suddenly pierced.

This bizarre situation kept the naval commanders on edge, fearing they might inadvertently suffer the same fate as their colleagues.

This caused them to become increasingly hesitant and timid in battle, and their various tactics fell far short of expectations, indirectly leading to the complete collapse of the battle situation.

"Lieutenant General Onigumo...! Lieutenant General Chaton...!"

With the deaths of Onigumo and Chaton, two core mid-level combatants of the Navy, the fighting spirit of the Expeditionary Force, which was already at rock bottom, finally collapsed at this moment.

The first naval soldier escaped unchallenged, and the first bounty hunter surrendered and was accepted.

Those soldiers who had been observing the situation immediately threw down their weapons and began to surrender en masse.

"The whole army retreats!"

Sengoku, who had just driven Jack back, paused for a moment upon seeing the scene of countless followers surrendering in utter defeat, and then shouted out the order to retreat with great resentment!

Mo Fei had just returned Kizaru's soul fire after imprinting it with the Soul Control Mark and stabilizing his injuries with a self-healing energy.

Upon witnessing the crushing defeat of the suppressing army, an excited and thrilling expression appeared on his face.

"We should press our advantage and pursue the fleeing enemy, not seek fame like Xiang Yu! Brothers, follow me and charge!"

Under the leadership of Mo Fei, who was wielding two massive silver-white swords, who took the lead in the charge.

The Nightmare Pirates, both new and old members, were all fired up like they'd been injected with adrenaline, howling and giving chase to the fleeing Marines.

Under the slogan of "surrender and you will not be killed," all enemies who dared to resist were killed.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Mo Fei was extremely merciful and spared the two female naval officers, Tashigi and Tina.

They were tied up hand and foot, waiting for him to come and 'interrogate' them!

Actually, what Mo Fei really wanted to capture was Vice Admiral Momousagi, but with her near-Admiral-level strength, she wasn't as easy to catch as Tashigi and Tina. So Mo Fei had to settle for second best and capture two little wildcats to make up for it.

Although the Navy suffered a defeat, apart from Kizaru being turned by Mo Fei and Onigumo and Chaton dying in battle, the top combatants were not lost too much.

Especially since Garp, Fujitora, Green Bull, and others have not been able to unleash their full power.

So perhaps he didn't intend to push too hard.

After destroying the enemy's temporary base and annihilating their low- to mid-level combat forces, Mo Fei led his men to leisurely pursue and kill them.

Moe never intended to eliminate all of these high-ranking naval personnel. Apart from a few die-hards, many of them were potential targets for defection.

As an outstanding villain, he followed the principle of "the best strategy is to subdue the enemy without fighting, the middle strategy is to disrupt their alliances, and the worst strategy is to attack them with force."

He wouldn't resort to a desperate measure of confrontation unless there was absolutely no other way.

If the enemy's remaining fighting force were to fight to the death, there is a very high chance that they would take him down with them.

The mantra of "gou" (苟) is always on my mind, so how could I possibly let myself take such a risk?

Seeing Kizaru beside him, who had just surrendered and was now carefully examining his own injuries, looking somewhat lost and dejected, Mo Fei's eyes lit up.

"Old Huang, you're so capable, it wouldn't be surprising if you suddenly escaped back, would it?"

However, Sabaody Archipelago is not peaceful, so you should go straight back to Marine Headquarters.

I told you, "You're so handsome and capable, such an important position as Admiral of the Navy should be yours. Do you think I'm right?"

Looking at Mo Fei with a smile on his face, Kizaru pondered for a moment and understood the meaning behind Mo Fei's words.

"This is fucking making me a room?!"

However, if I truly succeed, with the Nightmare Pirates' current strength, plus my own help, it seems that overthrowing the Celestial Dragons' rule wouldn't be so difficult!

Once Kizaru understood this, his expression immediately became excited.

As a naval admiral, he couldn't possibly become a lazy bum without a reason.

He once harbored a sense of justice and wanted to rid the world of all its filth.

However, as they witnessed more and more darkness, they finally came to realize the truth that the Celestial Dragons were the greatest filth in the world.

During this time, he did consider making a change, so he worked hard to climb to the position of admiral. However, when he realized the truth that even becoming a marshal meant being a dog of the Celestial Dragons, his faith finally collapsed.

Thus, an ambitious and aspiring young man was eventually turned into a lazy bum by the harsh reality, who just coasted through his days at work.

But today, the path that Mo Fei has given him, though full of thorns, has rekindled the flame of truth in his heart that once burned brightly.

"I think so too. After all, I don't have any other choice right now, do I?"

Although he stubbornly made up an excuse for himself, his eyes had already shed their former dejection and gloom, and had become bright and passionate again.

……

Watching Kizaru's figure vanish in a flash of light, Mo Fei smiled slightly before turning around and rejoining the pursuit team.

Of all the naval personnel who escaped this time, he could spare everyone except one person who had to die on Sabaody Archipelago!

……

In a lush forest on the west coast of Sabaody Archipelago, a group of high-ranking naval officers who had just evacuated from the port had mostly gathered.

Apart from Garp, Green Bull, Fujitora, and others who appeared somewhat composed, the other participants in the battle were all in a sorry state and looking dejected.

The most obvious examples are Akainu and Sengoku!

The former could not accept that the battle would end so miserably.

Not only did he lose Kizaru, his colleague of many years, but he also lost his most trusted confidant, Onigumo, in this battle.

Sengoku was filled with a mix of self-blame and helplessness. He had served as Fleet Admiral for so many years and was about to retire when Doflamingo appeared at the last moment.

Not only did it dash his hopes of retirement, it also repeatedly thwarted his plans.

If he doesn't have a good reason to explain this crushing defeat, he'll probably have to go to Impel Down.

"After all, such a crushing defeat needs a scapegoat to calm the morale of the troops, doesn't it?"

Seeing his old partner so dejected, Garp, who had been secretly happy for his grandson, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

After all, aside from contributing some effort during the Sea Kings' attack, he basically coasted through the rest of the major battles.

"Sengoku, what are you planning to do next? How about I steal a ship and we retreat together?"

Garp's words immediately garnered a lot of support, since it seemed that they had no chance of turning the tide now.

However, just as Zhan Guo was starting to feel tempted, a cold male voice suddenly rang out from the side.

"Retreat? We've suffered such a crushing defeat. If we don't try to salvage the situation, how are we going to explain ourselves to the World Government when we get back?"

After subconsciously refuting Garp's suggestion, Akainu, while puffing on the last half of a cigar in his pocket, suddenly stood up and angrily punched the giant tree next to him that required two people to hug.

"General Nasakaski, you'd better suggest a feasible solution. You'd better stop throwing tantrums in front of me, or I'm afraid I won't be able to resist beating you up."

Looking at Akainu, who had almost killed his grandson again during the day, Garp's eyes flashed with a rare cold light, and he coldly questioned and warned him.

"Garp! Don't think I don't know you've always hated me to the core. Want to fight?"

At this moment, Akainu was like a mad dog ready to devour its prey, exhaling smoke and staring at Garp with bloodshot eyes. He clearly had the idea of ​​sparring with Garp, the master of slacking off.

"Then come on, do you think this old man can't lift a knife?"

As someone who once dominated the four seas and intimidated the Pirate King, Garp has never backed down. He immediately threw off his cloak and prepared to spar with Akainu.

Seeing that the two were about to clash, Sengoku, as the marshal, had no choice but to compose himself and step forward, angrily shouting:

"What? The enemy hasn't even arrived yet, and you're already fighting amongst yourselves, killing and crippling each other? If you have that kind of energy, why not save it for dealing with the pursuers later?"

Upon hearing Zhan Guo's angry rebuke, the two simultaneously snorted coldly, turned their heads away, and ignored each other.

Seeing that the two had finally stopped arguing, Sengoku sighed wearily and then mustered his strength to arrange the next move for his men.

"Aokiji, Green Bull, Momousagi, you three split up and go to the nearby ports to scout out the situation and see where there are still ships moored. Regardless of whether we fight or retreat next, we must at least ensure that our retreat route is unobstructed."

Sengoku glanced at Akainu, who seemed hesitant to speak, and then asked somewhat impatiently, "Admiral Sakazuki, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

Although Akainu has a rugged appearance, he is a very cunning person, and he naturally sensed the impatience in Sengoku's words.

However, he still stubbornly said, "What about the pursuers? I think they will catch up soon."
