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

Chapter 298 The Painful Price Akainu Paid!
The Five Elders?!
Why did it have to come in this direction?!
Judge recognized the strange bird at first glance, his body stiffened, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Even worse...

The chilling killing intent contained in that cold gaze was clear to anyone.

"and many more!"

Judge hurriedly raised his hands, "My lord! I can explain! Please..."

Before the pleas for mercy could be finished, the giant bird Mazsaint had already sneered and swung its sharp claws.

"Explain? Go to hell and explain!"

scoff!

A terrifying wind pressure swept across like a blade, and Judge hurriedly dodged, but was unable to escape the area.

A scream rang out, and his body was instantly torn into several pieces, with blood and internal organs raining down on the deck.

"Father!!!"

The three brothers, Ichi, Nichi, and Yuji, changed their expressions drastically.

It wasn't sadness or anger over Judge's death, nor was it fear; those who had undergone bloodline factor modification had lost many of the emotions that humans should have.

They only realized that the other side was so ruthless from the start, even killing the king of the member state without hesitation.

Wouldn't we all inevitably be silenced as well?

asshole!

We can only fight to the death!

"Let's attack together! Let's show this old bastard the power of Germa Technology!"

The three brothers roared in unison, their feet spewing out air currents as they shot forward in a flash.

hum!hum!hum!
Red, blue, and green light suddenly burst forth.

Ichiji's Spark Spin, Niji's Electric Flying Kick, and Yonji's Winch Punch were all used simultaneously to perform a triangular choke on the monster bird.

"Germain-Derma mixed color burst!"

"Unbelievable!"

Maz Saint's eyes were filled with cold disdain. He couldn't deal with that Xia Nuo, he couldn't deal with the Fallen One, and he couldn't deal with this group of small fry.
Technology?

The world's most advanced technology has always served only the World Government. The stuff these Germa brats are messing around with is far inferior!

With a sudden flap of its wings, purplish-black cold flames erupted outwards like a tidal wave.

The battle suits of the three Ichi brothers were instantly reduced to ashes.

One more door!
The flesh of the three brothers was also devoured, leaving only three skeletons, which fell to the ground with a crash.

The rest were all clone soldiers. Mazsan suddenly spread his wings, and countless purplish-black feathers shot out like arrows!

Puff puff!
Amidst the dense piercing sounds, all the clone soldiers were pinned to the deck. Just in case, Mazsanhurst spewed out a large mouthful of dark purple cold flames, causing the entire fleet to burst into flames.

"This looks much better."

Maz Saint nodded in satisfaction, and was about to double-check if there were any living people left when his expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly looked up at the sky.

A dazzling golden lightning bolt ripped through the sky, and the figure of the eight-winged angel appeared and disappeared in the flash.

"Damn it! How did they track us all the way here?!"

Maz was terrified.

Although he didn't know what this angel was, he had personally experienced how troublesome that holy arrow was.

Even Nasujiro was no match for him, so there was no way he could possibly beat him.

escape!
Without thinking twice, it turned and tried to flee.

However, it was too late.

call out!
The lightning arrow pierced the air and struck its right flank precisely!

The restraint of the Holy attribute once again demonstrated amazing effects.

Boo!
The strange bird let out a shrill cry, its entire wing hissing out black smoke, and its massive body plummeted into the sea like a kite with a broken string.

"no no!!!"

Mazsaeng struggled frantically, trying to steady himself, but Angewomon gave him no chance. Her gaze was cold as she fired the second arrow!

The arrow pierced straight through the monster bird's chest!
"ended."

Angewomon retracted her longbow, her eight wings outstretched as she hovered in the air, watching the giant, strange bird plunge into the sea.

The penetrating wound caused by the Holy Arrow was expanding rapidly. The purple-black flames surrounding the strange bird surged violently, but they could not stop the purification effect at the edge of the wound.

After a while.

Maz Saint could no longer maintain his awakened form, reverted to human form, and fainted.

An old man with a white beard, his body charred black and his chest pierced, floated motionless on the sea.

"mission completed."

Angewomon smiled slightly and landed gracefully.

He lifted the unconscious Maz Saint with one hand, glanced at the fleet that he couldn't sense any living beings, shook his head, and flapped his wings to fly back.

She could also sense a strong evil aura emanating from this fleet; it was no good thing from top to bottom.

They were clearly reinforcements from the World Government, so I don't know why the Five Elders would turn around and kill them.

Inadequate support?

Angewomon tilted her head, pinched her chin, and thought about it seriously.

Hmm... according to the owner, this is considered dog-eat-dog, right?
It's probably not something to regret, but I still need to report it.

…………

Just as Angewomon was carrying the unconscious Mazsansa, they were returning the way they came.

the other side.

The main battlefield, the entire valley, is now a scene of devastation.

The fierce battle between Akainu and Shano continues, but due to the complete withdrawal of the Five Elders, either from battle or from their escape...

The tide has turned, and the outcome is decided!

"Sakazuki!"

Covered in blood and pale-faced, Kizaru lay to the side, weakly saying, "We have to retreat... If we continue fighting, we'll all die here!"

He's really burned out!
Since being promoted to general, I have never fought such a fierce battle!
"withdraw?"

Akainu was breathing heavily, his eyes bloodshot.

He knew perfectly well that defeat was inevitable. But...

Whether as a soldier or as one of the world's top fighters, he was truly unwilling to accept this battle! Absolutely unwilling!!!
"you go first!"

Akainu growled, "I'll cover your retreat!"

"Bullshit, Sakazuki!"

Kizaru suddenly became furious, and unusually, he swore, angrily shouting:

"Cover the rear? What rearguard do you need me to cover! If I weren't worried that you, this stubborn dog, would be separated from the group and unable to escape, I would have already retreated. If you really wanted to run, do you think they could stop me?"

The world's fastest speed granted by the Glint-Glint Fruit is no joke!
Seeing Kizaru suddenly reveal his true nature, Akainu was taken aback for a moment, then took a deep breath: "I understand."

"But I'll say it again, you go first, I'll cover your retreat."

Akainu turned his face away and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I'll leave immediately after you leave, and I'm absolutely confident I can escape!"

Absolute self-confidence?
Kizaru frowned, somewhat puzzled, but Akainu's words were resolute and didn't sound like he was joking.

Believe him!

"It's long overdue!"

He breathed a sigh of relief, managed a weak smile, and his figure suddenly transformed into countless golden particles of light that scattered. "Then this old man will take his leave first. You old codger, don't go back on your word!"

call out!
Kizaru's figure instantly passed Fujitora, who was blocking his way, and disappeared completely into the horizon.

Akainu watched his old friend leave before slowly turning his head to look at Shano across from him.

"Kid."

He sneered, his left arm already turning back into magma. "I admit you've won! But trying to capture me won't be so easy!"

boom!
Before he could finish speaking, Akainu slammed his magma arm into the ground! "Molten Hell - Great Eruption!"

Rumble!
The entire island trembled violently!

Centered on Akainu, countless lava fireballs shot into the sky, completely engulfing the entire battlefield in a sea of ​​fire!
This was his last, all-out attack!
It was both to vent his anger and to buy himself a chance to escape!

"careful!"

"Retreat to the outer perimeter!"

Kuina, Kuma, and the others, who had already surrounded them, changed their expressions upon seeing this and hurriedly retreated, but remained vigilant to prevent Akainu from escaping from their direction.

Kizaru's speed is unstoppable, but he can still slow down Akainu!

Xia Nuo stood still, only slightly narrowing his eyes as he watched Akainu's figure gradually being swallowed by the lava, his aura becoming increasingly faint.

What is this for?
This guy isn't known for his speed, but if he's running in the air, no matter which direction he's going, with his current mastery of aerial maneuvers, he can keep up.

Could it be that……

Xia Nuo glanced around at the ground that had turned into molten lava, and his gaze turned cold!
Just for a moment.

He guessed Akainu's escape route.

It's going down!
This old dog wanted to use the lava-filled battlefield to escape directly beneath the island's continental shelf and into the asthenosphere at the top of the mantle!

The asthenosphere is the main source of magma.

For Akainu, it was like a drop of water entering the ocean—the best escape route!

If it weren't for his knowledge from his previous life, which gave him a clear understanding of the Earth's internal structure, he wouldn't have realized this.

“It’s not that easy!”

A cold glint flashed in Xia Nuo's eyes, and he clenched his right fist tightly, black and red domineering colors swirling around it, before slamming it down hard!
"Pierce through me!"

boom! ! !
Xia Nuo's fist slammed into the lava, and the terrifying impact blasted a vertical tunnel down the ground!

With his Observation Haki fully activated, Xia Nuo quickly locked onto Akainu, who was rapidly fleeing into the depths of the earth amidst the scalding lava.

"Got you!"

He grinned and leaped into the passage without hesitation, his black hair dancing wildly in the scorching air.

above the ground.

"Lord Shano!"

Kuina anxiously tried to catch up, but Fujitora stopped her.

"Don't be impulsive." Fujitora shook his head slightly. "The area below has been melted by Akainu's magma. The temperature is beyond what your body can withstand. Don't worry, trust the captain, nothing will happen."

The group could only stay put, keeping a close eye on the slowly healing lava cave entrance.

A moment later, when Angewomon returned carrying the unconscious Mazsansa, this was the scene she witnessed.

"what?"

Angewomon asked curiously, "Where is Master?"

"They've stormed underground to chase after Akainu."

Jack grinned, his mouth stained with blood, and threw the dying Satan Saint to the ground. "You're back just in time. I can't kill this old bastard no matter what I do. I still need you, Nuomi..."

I just can't bring myself to say it!

Jack's eye twitched; he still felt inexplicably a bit of a headache.

No.

Although the mochi changed its form every time it evolved, it always remained a fluffy little cutie.

Aside from Nami, who was the eldest sister, being in tears, everyone else could accept it.

How come this time, it went straight from a cat to an archangel from religious legend? That's quite an absurd leap!
The sacred and noble aura emanating from that place made him feel ashamed and unable to look directly at it, even just from a distance.

There's really no way to associate this with a name like "glutinous rice ball"!
"The fate of these two old fellows should be decided by the master himself."

Angewomon, oblivious to Jack's expression, shook her head slightly and tossed the White-Bearded Five Elders next to Satan.

Snapped!
Using divine power to form chains, he firmly bound the two Elders together. After confirming that they wouldn't be able to break free even if they quietly awoke, he spoke softly:

"Let's leave it at that for now and talk about it when the master comes back."

"That's how it should be. Thank you for your hard work."

Xiong Xinwei smiled and nodded. The Five Elders' immortal regeneration ability was clearly much stronger than that of the Knights of God.

Even with his Paw-Paw Fruit powers, he's not so easy to expel.

I originally thought I would have to do research with the captain again, but now that Angewomon is here, we can directly suppress her with divine power, which saves a lot of effort.

The crowd continued to wait silently.

Meanwhile, the fleet of the Fallen Ones had already landed on the shore and, under command, began cleaning up the battlefield and carrying out follow-up work.

I do not know how long it has been.

boom!
A loud bang came from underground, and the ground beneath everyone's feet suddenly trembled violently.

Kuina's eyes turned cold, and she quickly drew her sword to be on guard. But then she saw the lava surface hundreds of meters away suddenly explode, and a dark shadow shot up from the ground.

"grown ups!"

Kuina exclaimed in surprise.

Xia Nuo leaped out of the lava and landed steadily in front of everyone. His shirt had already been reduced to ashes during the chase, revealing his muscular upper body.

On the surface of the skin, there were some areas that had been burned by the lava, but as the white steam rose, they were healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As Fujitora said.

With his robust physique honed through countless trials, even if he were to enter the Earth's crust, the planet beneath his feet would not be able to cause him any substantial harm.

However, Xia Nuo's expression was clearly not good, with his brows slightly furrowed.

"Boss?"

Jack, who had been happily greeting them, stopped upon seeing this. After exchanging glances with the others, he cautiously asked, "Did that old dog get away?"

Defeating the world's top experts is difficult enough, let alone killing them.

So, they all felt that it was normal that they couldn't stop Akainu, and it wasn't a big deal.

But unfortunately, their boss has very high expectations of himself, and it seems he's still somewhat bothered by not being able to keep Akainu...

"Yes."

Xia Nuo clicked his tongue and sighed regretfully, "In the end, that guy managed to escape into the mantle. It's all magma there, and you can't tell where he is at all. We can't catch up with him now."

"However, it wasn't a complete loss."

He grinned, not quite disappointed, and casually tossed something to the ground with his right hand.

Everyone looked down and saw clearly that it was half a bloody, fleshy face with a wide-open, angry eyeball in the middle.

"It belongs to that old dog!"

Jack's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in surprise.

His face was charred and twisted by the magma, but Akainu's signature hard features were still recognizable.

This is half of his face, including his entire left eye. Was it torn off by the boss?
In addition to the arm that was previously severed...

"This price is heavy enough."

Kuma sighed, "Speaking of which, if we include Aramaki, who barely has the strength of an admiral, Captain, you've already made three of the Navy's top combatants pay the price of becoming crippled."

That's true.

Too bad!
Jack couldn't help but shudder. He remembered clearly that besides that, there was also an old fat woman known as the Sea Emperor who died at the hands of the boss.

From now on... no, to be precise, starting today...

In this world, in this vast ocean, is there truly a name more intimidating than the boss's?!

By the way, speaking of which...

If one day in the future, the Fallen Warriors and the Navy Headquarters go to war and have a final showdown.

The three enemy generals sat there imposingly, swords drawn, but when you looked down at the people below, you saw that they were all missing limbs, and one of them was even one-eyed…

And the one who caused all of this was none other than the opposing team's commander!
"Tsk, the morale of the marines will probably be greatly affected," Jack thought to himself with schadenfreude.

　I'm so sorry, I didn't get home until 3 a.m., which was later than I expected. I stayed up all night to finish writing, and now I'm going to sleep. If there are any typos in this chapter, please forgive me, and I'll fix them when I get up.
