Simultaneous travel: The group is about to be wiped out

Chapter 184 Battle against Aokiji (Please subscribe)

As he watched the man emerge from the house, Garp's confident smile gradually darkened, and he spoke in a low voice.

"Hey, Kuzan, what are you doing? Quickly thaw Hibari's frozen state!!"

Facing his former teacher's reprimand, Aokiji sighed and pressed his fingers to his forehead: "Garp-sensei, you're still the same as always. There's no other way. If Coby gets away, I won't be able to explain it to Blackbeard when he comes back. So, I have no choice but to take action."

Koby, standing behind Garp, supported Hibari, who had turned into an ice sculpture, and stared in horror at Aokiji before him.

“Mr. Kuzan…”

Just now, he was almost frozen. If he had been a little slower, he would have been frozen solid. Is this the weight of a former admiral?

Meanwhile, the Sharp Blade squad on the warship watched this scene with tense expressions.

As Marines, they had a deeper understanding of Aokiji. A Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit user, he was one of the three former Marine Admirals, a powerful figure who could rival the current Fleet Admiral Akainu.

Garp took a deep breath, and a powerful aura emanated from his body, making his aura even stronger. His fists were wrapped in Haki and turned black and iron-colored.

"I'll say it again, Kuzan, unfreeze Hibari, release Coby, and return to the Marines!"

Facing the menacing naval heroes, Aokiji's languid expression remained unchanged.

"Grandpa Garp, he says whatever comes to mind, his personality hasn't changed at all. But I won't agree to any of these three points. Besides, I've heard about Chen Feng's situation. Haha, interesting. Isn't it strange that even he defected from the Navy!"

"The navy is no longer the representative of justice. I find their actions extremely distasteful. Perhaps Chen Feng, like me, is now pursuing freedom. If you want to make a move, then come on!"

Without further hesitation, Aokiji activated his Devil Fruit power, and ice spread from his feet, moving forward along the ground. At the same time, ice condensed in his hands, and his aura surged.

Seeing this, Garp knew that there was no point in saying anything more, so he became serious and walked straight toward Kuzan.

"Coby, you take the men and go first. I have some things to take care of."

Upon hearing Garp's instructions, Coby no longer hesitated, knowing he was of no use here, and nodded.

"Okay, Mr. Garp."

But no one noticed that, in the shadows, a pair of eyes were silently watching this place.

On a small island in the New World, many pirate ships are docked.

This place is located in a region where ocean currents intersect, making it convenient to go anywhere. As a result, many pirate crews wait here to rest and repair their ships.

And because of certain tacit rules, no fighting took place here, making it seem very peaceful.

At the port, pirates gathered, drinking strong liquor and waiting for their ships to be repaired.

The next moment, a burly pirate wearing a black hat suddenly raised his head, stared ahead with a look of horror in his eyes, and pointed his finger forward.

"Look, that pirate crew..."

Upon hearing this, the group of pirates, who were enjoying their wine and laughing heartily, all turned their gazes in that direction.

In the distance, a large ship sailed in, with a flag raised on its top, white flames swirling around a ghostly skull.

"This, this is the flag of the White Flame Pirates, the Emperors of the Sea!"

"Has that newly crowned Emperor of the Sea made a move as well? Where is he headed?"

"A bounty of over 5.5 billion, what an impressive guy. Rumor has it that he is the strongest among the five Sea Emperors, but I don't know if that's true."

"He was originally a vice admiral in the navy. I once had a chance encounter with him. He was very strong."

Just as the pirates were discussing this, the large ship had already approached the area, but it did not stop or slow down, and continued to sail in one direction.

The territories of the sea emperors were clearly divided, and one could deduce a great deal from just one direction.

A seasoned veteran pirate squatted on the ground, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and slowly exhaled.

"This direction seems to be the territory of the Blackbeard Pirates."

A one-eyed middle-aged man standing next to him nodded, his tone certain: "Yes, that's right. If I'm not mistaken, this new Emperor of the Sea is going to Blackbeard's territory. I heard a few months ago that he fought against the Red-Haired Pirates, but the outcome was still undecided."

"But judging from the recent series of events and his previous reputation in the Navy, we know that his strength is quite remarkable. It's really interesting. After the Straw Hat Pirates, is another battle between Emperor-level beings about to take place?"

The one-eyed man is also a great pirate, currently the one with the highest bounty on the island at 540 million. It is rumored that he once refused the recruitment offer from the Beasts Pirates.

Upon hearing his words, all the pirates around him immediately stopped what they were doing and quietly watched the pirate crew sail into the distance.

A sea breeze blows, and the sea is calm.

At that moment, everyone had the same thought: a fierce storm was about to break out on the sea.

The two sea emperors are about to clash...

Meanwhile, news of the White Flame Pirates' operation spread throughout the seas, foreshadowing a major upheaval in the New World.

Upon receiving this news, all factions began to take action, and the new world was instantly thrown into turmoil.

On a small island, Blackbeard watched Law fleeing into the distance, a cruel smile on his face, and was about to order his men to give chase.

Unexpectedly, Van Auger suddenly appeared beside him, holding a letter in his hand, his expression solemn.

"Boss, something's happened. Garp has led a group to attack Beehive Island in an attempt to rescue Coby."

Blackbeard showed no surprise at this, and laughed, "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. Shiryu and Kuzan are both there. With their strength, taking down Garp won't be a problem."

"I understand Kuzan's thoughts now. Even if he doesn't want to, he will help us deal with Garp."

Unexpectedly, after saying all this, Van Auger's expression did not relax in the slightest; it remained solemn.

"No, boss, I have something else to say. According to intelligence, that sea emperor, Chen Feng, the captain of the White Flame Pirates, is currently setting sail with his men, and their destination is our Beehive Island. According to intelligence, this guy, like Kuzan, is Garp's disciple."

Blackbeard paused, his smile vanished, a strange glint flashed in his eyes, and he snorted.

"We need to gather our forces and return to the island immediately. I never expected Chen Feng to deliver himself to our doorstep. In that case, we might as well accept his Devil Fruit."

…………

Blackbeard Pirates headquarters, Beehive Island.

At this moment, the battle is nearing its end.

Garp, who had initially held the advantage, was now at a disadvantage in his battle with Kuzan, all because of a deep wound on his chest.

In order to save his disciple Coby, Garp was ambushed and stabbed by Shiryu with all his might, suffering a significant injury and greatly reducing his combat strength.

Shiryu, who was not far away, chuckled and wiped the blood off his face: "Hey, Navy hero, what's wrong? Is this all you can do?" Despite his weakened state, Garp's tone remained unyielding in the face of the other's mockery.

"Hey, you Impel Down thugs, who gave you the guts to mock me!"

But his mind had calmed down. In his normal state, dealing with Kuzan would be a piece of cake, and even with Shiryu, it would only be a little troublesome.

However, now that he is seriously injured, things are probably not looking good...

Half an hour later.

A large pirate ship appeared in the waters off Beehive Island and headed forward; it was the White Flame Pirates.

Two men were standing on the deck; they were Chen Feng and Jin Han.

Jin Han looked ahead, chuckled, and a fighting spirit burned in his eyes: "Boss, we're almost there. I never thought that we pirates would be rescuing the Marines. But I agree with you, after all, Garp helped us a lot before."

"However, I'm wondering if we've made a wasted trip. Based on what I know about this old man, even two admirals couldn't stop him. Blackbeard isn't here; at most, there's Shiryu and Kuzan, so it shouldn't be a problem."

Chen Feng raised his head and looked ahead, a ripple in his eyes: "Things are unpredictable, and the outcome of a battle is not solely related to strength."

If he weren't familiar with the plot, he wouldn't have imagined that Garp would end up on Beehive Island. It's understandable that he would be ambushed while rescuing his disciple...

Suddenly, something unexpected happened ahead.

A warship was seen speeding towards them, attempting to leave Beehive Island.

With just one glance, Jin Han recognized the warship's owner and exclaimed softly, "Oh, that's Grandpa Garp's warship. It looks like it's all done well. It must have escaped safely."

At the same time, the soldiers on this warship also saw the large ship approaching.

Miss Peacock looked solemnly at the flag and said earnestly, "That flag is the flag of the Sea Emperor Chen Feng's White Flame Pirate Crew. Why are they here as well?"

These words immediately caused a stir among the people present.

"How is that possible? Why would this maritime emperor be here?"

"Is this... here to ambush us?"

"No, that shouldn't be the case. It's said that this Sea Emperor was also a disciple of Master Garp..."

Regardless, the marines present couldn't help but panic, after all, the other party was a pirate, and there was no need for a reason to kill them.

Hibari looked worried and reached out to tug at Koby's sleeve, unsure of what to do.

The two ships had already approached each other without being noticed.

Chen Feng stood on the deck of the ship, glanced at the people on board, and found that Garp was not there. He immediately knew that, just like in the anime, the old man had been captured.

The navy personnel on the warship breathed a sigh of relief when they realized that the people on the pirate ship had not attacked them.

But at that moment, Peacock suddenly shouted, "Lieutenant General Chen Feng, please save Grandpa Garp!!"

Upon hearing the shout, the White Flame Pirate Ship stopped moving forward. Chen Feng looked over and his gaze fell on the woman. He spoke with interest.

"Oh, are you He's granddaughter?"

Peacock nodded, looked directly into Chen Feng's eyes, and said with a hint of pleading, "Yes, Lieutenant General Garp is trapped on Beehive Island while trying to save us, so I would like to ask you to help him!"

Chen Feng didn't pay much attention to this. With a wave of his hand, the pirate ship continued to sail forward, only glancing at Hibari beside Coby before leaving.

In his past life, many people speculated that Miss Hibari was Akainu's daughter, but it's unknown whether it's true or not...

Watching the other party leave, Grus, codenamed Prince, breathed a sigh of relief, then asked urgently, "Hey, Peacock, what were you doing just now? What if they attacked?"

Peacock simply shook her head at the prince's concerns, breathed a sigh of relief, and explained, "Don't worry, I've heard my grandmother say that Vice Admiral Chen Feng only hates the Celestial Dragons and the World Government. He doesn't dislike or care about our Navy. When he was in the Navy, he was deeply loved by the soldiers and had a high reputation."

"Moreover, he is also Lieutenant General Garp's disciple, so perhaps his purpose in coming here is to save someone."

Upon hearing this last sentence, Hibari was startled and covered his mouth: "Vice Admiral Garp's disciple? Does that mean that Sea Emperor and Coby are fellow disciples?"

Throughout the entire process, Koby remained silent, keeping his head down. He knew, though he didn't know why, that his nominal senior brother had always disliked him. Noticing Hibari's gaze beside him, he simply gave a bitter smile and nodded.

By the time Chen Feng arrived, the battle on Beehive Island was already over.

Despite being severely injured, Garp was ultimately no match for Kuzan and was frozen in ice. He lay on the ground, laughing heartily.

Kuzan stood beside him, his face solemn, his body radiating an aura of ice, and he remained silent.

The approaching pirate ship instantly attracted the attention of all the pirates on Beehive Island.

"That ship, that flag, it's the White Flame Pirates!!"

"How is this possible? Why are they here? Are they going to start a war?"

"How despicable! Taking advantage of the situation! Go and inform the boss!"

Shiryu looked at the two people on the bow of the ship with a solemn expression, narrowing his eyes: "This aura... a powerful expert has arrived. What should we do, Kuzan?"

Kuzan, standing beside him, remained silent, simply watching the approaching pirate ship.

Chen Feng gazed at the situation on the island ahead, his expression calm. He sighed softly, and his voice carried on the scene.

"Hey, that's my teacher lying on the ground."

As soon as he finished speaking, he unleashed his powerful Conqueror's Haki, crushing everything in his path with overwhelming force.

Space tremors, air waves churn

Around it, faint black and red lightning appeared, the originally blue sky changed, and the waves on the sea surface rolled and surged.

Overwhelmed by the impact, many of the pirates on the island could not withstand it, their eyes rolled back, they lost consciousness, and collapsed to the ground.

Shiryu's expression grew even more solemn; this domineering aura was truly terrifying.

The next moment, Chen Feng stood at the bow of the ship, exerted his strength, and transformed into a blur, rushing towards the island at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing his boss make such a move, Jin Han did not hesitate for a moment. He drew his long sword and followed closely behind, heading towards the sea.

In an instant, Chen Feng arrived above Kuzan, white flames condensing in his hand to form a huge pillar of fire, which he then slammed down.

"Brother Kuzan, it's been a long time..."
