One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 194 The World's Attention Turns, the Great War Begins [5K]

"Hey, is this kind of momentum real or fake...?"

Kizaru narrowed his eyes. "Has that kid gotten stronger since entering the New World... No wonder Sakazuki spent an entire night trying to defeat him the other day."

In his field of vision.

The boy named Xia Nuo stood at the bow of the ship with his arms crossed, his black hair flying wildly in the wind.

The overwhelming sense of oppression was almost tangible, making even the surrounding air feel thick and heavy.

As they closed the distance and their eyes met, Kizaru witnessed firsthand the gleam of excitement rising in the other's eyes, and a gradual grin spreading across his face.

"You're here so early, old monkey!"

Xia Nuo touched the back of his head with his right hand and burst into laughter, "Two months have passed, and we finally meet again! Here's a little gift for you, keep it safe!!!"

hum!
The moment the katana "Masamune" was drawn, the world changed color!
Black and red lightning coiled around the blade like a dragon, and Conqueror's Haki erupted, instantly causing the sea surface within a thousand meters to cave in, forming a huge spherical vacuum!

The next instant, the katana slashed horizontally!

"Gods, sir!"

Crimson sword energy burst forth from the blade, like a prehistoric beast breaking free of its shackles. Wherever the sword energy passed, the seawater surged back to both sides, tearing open a vacuum channel hundreds of meters long!

"This is……"

Kizaru was shocked. The laziness on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a solemn expression.

The blinding sword light almost dyed the entire world in sight crimson.

It's Shanks... no, it's the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger's signature move!

Kizaru's wrinkled face trembled violently, and his first subconscious reaction was to prepare to transform into an elemental form and dodge.

But then he suddenly realized that he was on a warship.

He can hide, but can this fleet hide?
We have no choice but to tough it out!
Kizaru took a deep breath, and dazzling golden light gathered wildly in his palms. He leaped into the air, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"Eight feet... a jade magatama!"

Countless dazzling light bullets poured out like a storm, colliding violently in mid-air with the crimson sword energy that was slashing horizontally!
boom--! ! !
The deafening explosion resounded through the sky, and the shockwave created towering waves that caused the entire sea area surrounding Dressrosa to tremble violently.

Such a terrifying commotion caused Riku and the others watching from the giant rock of Tokushima to gasp in shock.
This also alerted some people in the surrounding waters who had been paying close attention to the situation in Tokushima—

……

To the northwest, about several tens of nautical miles away.

A red airship embroidered with the words "WE NEWS" is slowly drifting on the sea.

This is Morgans's vehicle, which is also equipped with an editorial office, a small printing plant... It can be transformed into the mobile headquarters of the World Economic News Agency at any time.

now.

On the deck of the airship, a white albatross dressed in a suit and top hat was excitedly peering through binoculars at the distant commotion.

"Big news! Big news!"

Morgans was so excited that his feathers were trembling. "To actually be able to witness these two guys fighting, it was worth the trip!"

The news of the naval fleet surrounding Dressrosa, a relatively minor incident, spread slowly at first.

However, after five full days of fermentation, all the major powers in the New World, including the Four Emperors, had received the news.

The World Economic News Agency was undoubtedly the first to receive the news, having known about it three days prior, and Morgans immediately began to speculate and make inferences.

King Riku has held out for five days and still has no intention of compromising.

Why?
Who gave him the confidence?

He keenly sensed something amiss. For the king of a mere member state to be so assertive in front of the World Government, he must have a powerful backer.

only……

He had expected one of the Four Emperors to arrive, but the result was quite unexpected.

It was Shano who arrived.

—That would suit him even better!
Humans are inherently prone to fickleness and aversion to the old.

That brat named Xia Nuo is now the one attracting the most attention from the public. Since he is the protagonist this time, the audience will only love watching him more than the four old emperors!
And his newspapers will only sell better!
"Get closer! Just a little closer, this distance is far from enough to get a satisfactory close-up!"

Morgans turned his head, laughed heartily, and gave the order.

He is the emperor of the underworld, a notorious miser, but also a genuine journalist!
As a journalist, how can I not take the best photos to repay the readers' support!

……

at the same time.

Further out at sea.

A giant pirate ship shaped like a white whale sails slowly on the calm sea.

"Dad!"

Marco hung up the Den Den Mushi, strode to the center of the deck, and said in a deep voice to the man sitting in the huge chair:
"New urgent news has arrived from Dressrosa: Admiral Kizaru has suddenly set out, accompanied by Shichibukai Enel."

"The reason for raising the standards to this level is that the man... the world's greatest swordsman, Shano, led his subordinates straight to Dressrosa."

"Oh?"

Whitebeard slightly raised his eyes, a hint of surprise in them.

As a survivor of the old era, he has always been most concerned and vigilant about the Navy Headquarters' expansionist activities in the New World.

Dressrosa's geographical location is unique, and under no circumstances will he tolerate it falling entirely into the hands of the World Government and becoming a naval outpost.

So in these few days.

Whitebeard had been waiting for King Riku to make a decision. If the other party compromised, that would be fine, but if he intended to resist to the end, he wouldn't mind going there in person to teach the Marines a lesson.

—The New World is not a place where the Navy can do whatever it wants!
"Goo la la la!"

The white-bearded man burst into laughter, his voice echoing like thunder.

"No wonder King Riku was able to hold out until the fifth day without giving in; it turns out he secretly had such an incredible backer!"

He slowly stood up, his tall figure casting a huge shadow.

"Dad, should we..."

Marco hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively.

"Do not."

Whitebeard shook his head, his gaze lingering on the horizon.
“I know you have a relationship with him, but… silly son, this is his battle, we don’t need to interfere, nor should we.”

"but……"

Whitebeard said in a deep voice, "We won't interfere, and the rest of us shouldn't either... Send people to keep a close eye on the Marine Headquarters' movements. If they continue to send people into the New World... Marco, you know what to do."

"Yes, Dad!"

……

Outside of Tokushima.

The crimson sword light, along with the golden light that filled the sky, eventually faded away.

Snapped!
Kizaru landed from mid-air, stumbling back a few steps before regaining his balance. His face was grim as he looked back.

As expected...

He managed to block the terrifying impact of the sword strike, preventing it from affecting his marines.

however.

The spread of Conqueror's Haki could not be countered no matter what.

Looking around, on the dozen or so warships spread out in a wing shape from east to west, all the marines and junior officers had fainted with their eyes rolled back.

Like waves of harvested wheat, the deck was now almost entirely covered.

The fact that those major generals, brigadier generals, colonels, and lieutenant colonels were able to stand and remain conscious after staggering did not mean that their will was particularly strong; it was simply because they were only experiencing the aftershocks.

"Is this the power called Conqueror's Haki...?"

Enel looked at the Marines lying on the ground around him, his expression changed slightly, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead:
"Even I, a deity, have not been able to master it, so how could a mere mortal from Qinghai possibly possess such power?"

Oh God...

How unfair you are!
Doberman gritted his teeth. This guy was spouting nonsense again...

But at this moment, there was no time to worry about that. He drew his sword, leaped up, and shouted sharply:
"Everyone! Everyone who is still conscious, take control of the ship! First, bring the ship to shore, then split into two groups. One group will use Moonwalk to step onto the giant rocks and hold off the attack from Dressrosa. The other group will come with me to take down the executives of the Fallen Pirates!"

"Yes! Lieutenant General!"

More than a dozen warships responded, and then the fleet suddenly set sail, heading towards Dressrosa at full speed.

……

On the Fallen Curtain, Xia Nuo sheathed his sword and glanced at the changes in the warship's formation.

"Do you want to seize the high ground and divide the battlefield?"

He sneered, "What wishful thinking... Nojiko, freeze this sea area! Make all these warships immobile! Then, together with Robin and Nami, go up to the Dressrosa highlands. The three of you will be responsible for the defense there and protect the people in the town!"

"Yes, brother."

Nojiko was the first to nod. As two nature-type characters, they possessed a wide range of offensive and control skills, making them the perfect choice for defending this cliff from their elevated position.

At the same time, he can take over the bear's duties, allowing the more powerful bear to free up his hands and join the main battle.

After responding, Nojiko glanced at Nami, who was lying on Gintoki's back, her face pale and looking like she was about to fall asleep. Nojiko reached out and gently patted her awake.

Xia Nuo's gaze swept over the others:
"Nuomizi, you lack combat experience, so just stay with Uncle Zeff and guard the ship. If the battlefield situation changes, then decide for yourself whether to provide support."

"Gintoki, and the rest of you, follow me into battle. I'll take care of Kizaru. As for the other Marines, you can choose your own opponents... Do you all understand?"

"Understood, Captain!"

The crew responded in unison with a resounding roar.

"I'll go down first!"

Nojiko flipped over the railing, headfirst, plunging towards the sea. Just before hitting the surface, he let out a low shout, thrusting his arms forward with explosive force, unleashing the pent-up power of extreme cold within him—

"The Ice Age!"

boom!
A fierce, icy wave burst forth from his palm, sweeping across the surrounding area with overwhelming force.

With a crackling sound, the once turbulent sea instantly transformed into a boundless frozen plain, shimmering with a cold, silvery light under the sun.

"Damn it, the warship can't move!"

"If I remember correctly, isn't this Admiral Aokiji's signature move? How come that female pirate knows it too!"

"Idiot! It's a Logia-type Snow-Snow Fruit! I heard that this fruit is even superior to the fruit of Admiral Aokiji!"

"Really?! Damn it, why are all the members of this Fallen Ones Pirates so troublesome..."

"There's no other way but to break away from the warship and launch an attack using Moonwalk!"

……

"The freeze is complete, Nami, we should go up now!" Nojiko returned to the deck and pulled Nami, who was sleeping on the ground, up.

"what?"

Nami struggled weakly on the ground like a fish out of a dried-up pond, "No, no! I've only been resting for a little while, let me sleep a little longer..."

For the past five days, she has served as a fuel source almost every day, accelerating the ship for more than eight hours each time—eight hours!
When have I ever suffered like this before!

If it weren't for Uncle Zeff's carefully prepared feast to support her and provide energy, she would have been completely drained and ruined long ago!

"You can't even handle this little bit of hardship? This is the consequence of slacking off and not training..."

Noji sighed and, without saying a word, hoisted Nami onto his shoulder.

"Don't worry, you can rest whenever you're up there. You won't need to lift a finger. Just keep an eye on the other side for me, and leave everything else to me!"

Amid Nami's screams, a surge of icy air erupted beneath her feet, instantly solidifying into an ice path that led straight to the top of the giant rock in Dressrosa.

Robin chuckled and followed, using Moonwalk.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the city wall and met up with King Riku and the others.

Kuma had already figured out Shano's arrangement. After nodding to Nojiko and Robin, he didn't say a word. Suddenly, a burst of air burst out beneath his feet, and he rose into the air, rushing towards the ice field below.

"Thank you for your hard work, all three of you!"

King Riku stepped forward quickly, his eyes filled with gratitude. "Thanks to your timely arrival, otherwise, if the Navy had broken off relations and launched an attack, even with Mr. Kuma here... the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

"You are Welcome."

Nojiko put Nami down, and the latter plopped down on the ground, dazed and with her eyes glazed over. But the moment she saw Violet, she snapped awake.

"Huh? Another Robin?"

She looked left at Violet, then right at Robin, her eyes widening, and then burst out laughing:
"Really?! They look so alike! Hair, figure, facial contours... Robin, they're practically twins!"

Robin and Violet exchanged a glance, both slightly surprised.

They... seem to really be as Nami said.

"There really is some."

Robin smiled. "However, the resemblance is still limited. In comparison, Nami, I think the little princess next to you looks more like you were made from the same mold."

Why is there a little princess too?

Nami was puzzled and subconsciously turned her head, only to meet the curious gaze of twelve-year-old Rebecca.

Eh?
She stared in disbelief, frozen in place.

……

Bang——pop!

The bear's body plummeted from the sky, flashing a few times before crashing onto the ice, creating a spiderweb-like crack.

He raised his head and looked around.

On the frozen sea, the battle has completely broken out.

First, in the far north, in the most open area, Lord Xia Nuo was engaged in a fierce battle with Kizaru, their figures constantly intersecting.

The domineering black and red lightning collided fiercely with the golden light bullet, and even the sky over there was gradually dyed with a strange color of black, red and gold intertwined.

And the other side.

The renowned female swordswoman and Navy Admiral candidate, Momousagi, also clashed with Kuina, their fierce sword strikes carving deep furrows into the icy plains.

Therefore, my opponent should be...

Xiong Gang narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly—

Click!

A bolt of azure lightning suddenly struck down in front of him!
As the lightning dissipated, Enel's figure appeared, hovering in the air. He tilted his head slightly, looked the bear up and down a few times, and then chuckled and spoke:

"Hey, mortal from Qinghai, are you that Tyrant Bear? I sensed your presence from the start. Compared to that Xia Nuo... you seem to be nothing special."

Did they come to you on their own initiative?

Kuma slowly straightened up, brushed the ice shards off his body, and looked at Enel: "The new Shichibukai... that Enel with the title of Thunder God?"

"It is indeed I, the God!"

Enel spread his arms wide and laughed triumphantly:
"So you were recognized. It seems accepting that curly-haired man's invitation wasn't all bad after all... Hey, mortal, remember this: dying at my hands today will be the greatest honor of your life!"

He suddenly swung his golden cudgel, pointing it at the bear, while behind him, the thunder drums surged with blue light and roared:
"God's sanction!"

Click——! ! !
A terrifying pillar of lightning, several meters in diameter, suddenly descended from the sky!

The blinding blue light illuminated almost everything around them as if it were daytime. The lightning bolt tore through the clouds, carrying the power to destroy everything, and struck straight at the bear's head!
While listening silently, Xiong had already slowly taken off his gloves.

Even as he witnessed the approaching thunder, his gaze remained calm, neither flinching nor avoiding it. He simply raised his right hand, revealing the soft, fleshy ball in his palm.

boom!
The next instant, the azure lightning was deflected and shot back towards Enel himself, much to Enel's disbelief!

what? !

Enel's pupils suddenly contracted. How could he do that? Does such a power even exist?

The lightning bolt struck Enel squarely, producing a deafening roar.

In the blinding blue light, his figure was completely engulfed, and violent electric currents raged wildly in the air.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Enel's figure reappeared.

He wasn't physically injured, but his hair was disheveled and smoldering, and his once arrogant expression was now twisted into a grimace, with flames of rage burning in his pupils.

He forced the words out through gritted teeth:

"Mortal! How dare you—"

Before the words were even finished, the bear had already vanished from the spot.

So fast!

Enel was startled, and his Observation Haki went into overdrive, but before he could react, a giant hand was already pressed against his chest.

"Pressure cannon."

A gentle, magnetic voice rang out, and suddenly white, transparent bubbles emerged from the fleshy ball in his palm, instantly adhering to Enel's chest skin and abruptly expanding—

boom! ! !
　Originally, I only planned to write 2,000 words for this second update, but since this kind of team battle scene would seem empty if it were too short, and it is an essential part of One Piece, I simply made it 5,000 words in one go.

　　I'm so sleepy, going to bed now. It's almost the end of the month, so if anyone has any votes, please cast them. Thanks!
