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

Chapter 331 Six Calamities Gather and Descend from the Sky!

"Explanation? What explanation do you need? Mihawk, the Whitebeard Pirates are an obstacle that must be eliminated. As a Shichibukai, fulfill your duty!"

"Fulfilling your duties is contingent on you not deceiving me."

Mihawk said coldly, "If you breached the contract first, then I'm afraid I won't play along. What about the promise you made to Shano?"

When did I ever make such a promise?

Kong asked strangely, "What I promised was that there would be a great swordsman on the other side for you to fight, but I never specifically named Xia Nuo!"

"Vista, the Flower Sword, with a bounty of 1,023 million Berries, the fifth division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and one of the few great swordsmen on the high seas! Does such an opponent not deserve your black blade?"

Ok?
Mihawk looked surprised.

He felt a surge of anger. Did that old bastard really not know who he wanted to fight?

This is clearly using secrecy as a pretext to play word games with myself!
But the other party's explanation was indeed impeccable, and it could not be considered a breach of contract.

Mihawk hung up the phone with a sullen face.

He raised his head, glanced ahead, and quickly locked onto Vista, the dual-wielding swordsman who was engaged in fierce combat with a vice admiral.

The latter seemed to sense something as well, and after turning around and exchanging a glance with him, she immediately showed a surprised expression and burst into laughter.

next moment.

Vista increased his strength, using terrifying sword energy to send the vice admiral in front of him flying, and then headed straight for him!

"This seems to be the first time we've ever met like this. That look in your eyes... Am I being treated like prey?"

Vista charged forward, laughing wildly, twin swords in hand, unleashing a flurry of sword energy like a shower of roses.

"However, it's not certain who will hunt whom! Hey, Hawkeye Mihawk, bring it on! I've been wanting to test your swordsmanship for a while now!"

Mihawk remained expressionless, his right hand resting on the black sword Night behind his back.

"Alright."

He slowly drew his black sword, the blade gleaming with a cold, sharp light. "Since there's no sign of that man, I'll warm you up first."

I was just bursting with inexplicable anger!
Before the words were even finished, the two had already clashed fiercely!
Clang! ! !
The black blade clashed with the twin swords, sparking dazzling flames. The terrifying aftershocks of sword energy rippled outwards, instantly tearing countless ravines into the ground within a radius of tens of meters!

"Hehehe, it's been a long time since I've seen a swordsman duel of this caliber..."

Moria watched in amazement, then his gaze greedily turned to the descendants of Oz in the distance. "Without further ado, I should go find my prey!"

He had just taken a step when he suddenly realized something was wrong and abruptly looked up—

A streak of dark blue flame descended from the sky, and Marco descended from the sky, kicking him hard in the face!

"Hey, hey, what are you looking at, Moonlight Moria?"

Marco smiled and said, "Your opponent is me."

"Don't try to stop me!"

Moria staggered backward from the kick, roaring furiously, "Shadow Spear!"

Swish swish!
His shadow immediately split into countless thin black shadows, transforming into sharp spears that pierced Marco from all directions.

However, the latter skillfully dodged them one by one.

Occasionally, a hit would pierce Marco's chest, but the next moment, with a flash of eerie blue flame, his body would return to normal.

"cut."

Moria's face darkened. "Annoying ability, annoying pineapple head!"

This is the self-healing ability of the Mythical Zoan Phoenix! It's the best in the world, truly enviable!

at the same time.

Ten Pacifistas also launched their attack, while Empress Boa Hancock and another Shichibukai also broke out from the deck.

This Shichibukai is a Zoan-type Rhino-Rhino Fruit user named "Rhino" Akshan.

He became a Shichibukai at the end of last year, replacing Enel.

"Hawkeye Mihawk, Gecko Moria, Boa Hancock, and this newcomer—Fleet Admiral Kong only managed to gather four Shichibukai this time?"

Upon seeing this, a naval captain couldn't help but frown.

"There's nothing we can do. There are only six Shichibukai now. Most of them were killed by that man. It takes time to find suitable replacements for such a powerful pirate."

Another rear admiral, puffing on a cigar, said, "As for the other two who didn't come, they both have deep ties with Whitebeard. If we had called them here, it would have been a miracle if they hadn't turned on us and defected. So we simply didn't notify them."

Also.

The naval captain realized it too.

Of the two Shichibukai who didn't come, one was Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, whose relationship with Whitebeard goes without saying.

another.

It was Weevil, who had just joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea not long ago.

He also shares the surname Edward, and many in the headquarters speculate that he is Whitebeard's illegitimate son.

I heard that when this guy was first recommended to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he was strongly protested and rejected by Admiral Aokiji and Mr. Garp.

Weevil's status as a Shichibukai was not confirmed until Fleet Admiral Kong regained control of Marineford.

look around.

On the vast battlefield paved with hard wood, the war had reached a fever pitch, with each side having about 50,000 troops, all of whom were now locked in a fierce battle.

At first glance, it is quite stunning!

Ugh.

However, it feels like without one of their top admirals, taking down the Whitebeard Pirates will be quite a challenge.

If only Admiral Aokiji were still here, today's battle would surely have been resolved quickly...

Just as the naval captain was feeling regretful, some faint sounds suddenly came from the distant sea.

Click, click, click!

With a continuous roar, the sea surface, tens of meters wide, froze into ice, and a tall figure with his hands behind his back sped across the ice.

Ok?
The huge commotion instantly drew the attention of everyone on the battlefield.

"Hey, what's that...?!"

Many of the marines who were engaged in battle noticed the commotion and looked up.

Upon seeing who it was, they were overjoyed and burst into thunderous cheers.

"It's Admiral Aokiji! It's Mr. Kuzan!"

"Great! Even though Admiral Kizaru isn't here, Admiral Aokiji has actually returned!"

"With the three admirals gathered, the Whitebeard Pirates won't last much longer!"

however.

The cheers had not yet subsided.

Aokiji's figure suddenly accelerated, and to everyone's astonishment, he swept over the naval fleet and kicked Green Bull, who was fighting Whitebeard, hard in the back!

boom! ! !
The kick was swift and vicious. Caught off guard, Green Bull screamed and was sent flying hundreds of meters before finally coming to a stop.

Who?
"Who attacked me?!" Green Bull stumbled to his feet, looked up angrily, and upon seeing who it was, cried out in shock, "Kuzan?! It's you! Are you crazy?!"

What's wrong with this guy? Even if he's left the Navy, does he really have to go after his former colleagues?!

"I'm sorry, Aramaki."

Aokiji landed on the ground beside Whitebeard, tilted his sunglasses up, and calmly said:

"You didn't know before, but my current identity has long since become the highest-ranking officer of the Fallen Ones."

The entire battlefield fell silent in an instant.

The ecstatic expressions on the faces of many sailors suddenly froze.

Meanwhile, the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered.

ha?
Did they hear that right? How did this former admiral, who had recently left the navy, just introduce himself?

—The highest-ranking official of the fallen?
Has she become the subordinate of that man named Shano?!

"Goo la la la!"

Whitebeard was the first to recover, bursting into laughter as he grinned at Aokiji, "Hey, what's going on? Looks like I've really lived too long. I can't believe I'm seeing a Marine Admiral join the pirate ranks!"

Back then, Roger boasted that he almost got Capra into his pirate crew, he was just a hair's breadth away.

It hasn't succeeded yet!

But today is different; I actually witnessed such a scene!
"To correct you, old man with the white beard, the Enderman is not a pirate. I simply chose the right path."

Aokiji casually put his hands in his pockets and exhaled a cold breath. "Forget it, there's no point in arguing with you. Compared to this..."

His gaze shifted to the ashen-faced Akainu in the distance, and he smiled slightly:
"Sakazuki, it's been over a month since we last met, and we're finally seeing each other again."

"Kuzan!!!"

Akainu flew into a rage, "And I was just defending you in front of Fleet Admiral Kong! So you really have stooped to associating with the Fallen Ones!"

Traitor, you deserve to die!
With a roar, the molten left arm suddenly expanded several times its original size, and a terrifying torrent of magma rushed straight towards Aokiji!

"Big fire-breathing!"

"Oh dear, still as irritable as ever..."

Aokiji calmly raised his hand, and a huge ice wall instantly rose from the ground. The magma collided with the ice, steaming up white mist, before both eventually dissipated.

"Don't even think about stealing my opponent, you ice brat!"

Whitebeard frowned and said, "It's time to answer me. Since you've joined the Fallen Ones, why are you here? Shano sent you. Didn't I emphasize on the phone that the Whitebeard Pirates don't need his help?"

As he spoke, he glanced into the distance, then suddenly plunged Murakumogiri into the ground, unleashing the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit once more.

click!
The terrifying shockwave spread out, instantly sending the enraged Green Bull, along with the surrounding marines, flying away.

"Have you seen?"

Whitebeard snorted coldly.

In his opinion, the Navy's new young admiral has indeed developed his Devil Fruit ability very well, but his basic skills are still lacking!

Whether it's the strength of their domineering aura or their physical skills, there's a significant gap between them and me!

That's why he was able to use his abilities to keep knocking Green Bull away, fighting two against one without being at a disadvantage!
"Is it?"

Aokiji, standing to the side, exchanged another fierce punch with Akainu. As the two separated and returned to their original positions, he spoke calmly:

"It's pointless to keep being stubborn, you old man. With the entire Marine Headquarters mobilized, your pirate crew can certainly hold them off for a short time, but in the end, you should know better than me who will win."

"Speaking of which, you remnants of the old era, if you've had enough of living and want to die, that's fine. But do you really want all your sons to perish here with you?"

The white-bearded man's pupils suddenly contracted.

He then laughed in anger: "You have quite the nerve, Kuzan! Are you trying to lecture me, you brat?"

"I'm just stating the facts. If you don't understand, I can repeat it to you in the words of our captain."

Aokiji didn't even glance at the white-bearded man, and grinned as he said:

"In this new world, the last one standing calls the shots. Whether you agree or not is irrelevant. How this war should be fought, and to what extent..."

"It's up to us to decide!"

boom! ! ! !

Just as Aokiji finished speaking, a deafening explosion suddenly came from the distant horizon!
A bolt of black and red lightning violently tore through the clouds, blotting out the sun and turning the entire battlefield a blood-red hue.

"Then...what is that?!"

Countless marines looked up in terror.

In the next instant, an extremely large black warship burst out from the sea of ​​clouds, surrounded by black and red lightning, and descended from the sky!

The Silver Wolf figurehead overlooks the land, and on the fluttering white flag, there is a pair of crossed swords that pierce through the seagull symbolizing the Navy Headquarters!
"Fall, fall... the curtain call?!"

A newly promoted vice admiral from the Navy Headquarters broke out in a cold sweat and cried out, "There's no mistake, that flag, there's no mistake! It's the flagship of the Fallen One, the Fallen One!!!"

"It's finally here."

Aokiji looked up and saw this scene, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Using the force of a punch to propel the entire ship across the sea? He had only ever seen such a technique with an old man before. Sure enough, the captain could do it too.

Rumble!
Before the giant ship had fully landed, six imposing figures suddenly leaped out from the deck!

The black-haired youth at the head of the group, wearing a black cloak, laughed wildly as he let his body crash into the center of the battlefield like a meteorite. The hard wooden ground instantly collapsed, creating a huge crater with a diameter of 100 meters!
When the smoke and dust cleared.

He slowly straightened up, casually smoothing his black hair that was fluttering in the wind. Amidst countless gazes filled with shock and fear, he grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth.
"I'm a little late. I ran into a bit of an accident on the way, which delayed me. Sorry, Kuzan, Newgate."

Swish!Swish!Swish!
Almost simultaneously, five other figures landed behind him.

A cold and aloof female swordswoman wielding the supreme great sword, Sakura Yuki!

A towering, silent giant wearing a bear-ear hat!
A blind swordsman in a purple robe, wearing a bathrobe!
The fish-man, whose tusks had only grown to a small portion, looked even more ferocious!

And... an archangel slowly unfolding his eight wings in the holy light!

Dead silence.

A truly, deathly silence.

The sea breeze howled past, and several seconds passed before the navy erupted in an uproar!

"how so!!"

"That man, that man...it's Shano himself, the Godslayer with a bounty of 6.32 billion Berries!!"

"And those behind him!"

“悬赏16亿4600万贝利的「风蚀」古伊娜，悬赏金28亿4000万贝利的「星坠」一笑，悬赏金16亿贝利的「雷陨」巴索罗米·熊，还有悬赏14亿2000万贝利的「地鸣」杰克……”

"The five top executives of the Fallen Ones, the Five Calamities... all five Calamities have gathered here!"

"No, that's not right."

Doberman, pale-faced, watched helplessly as his all-too-familiar senior brother, Aokiji, with his hands in his pockets and a grin, walked step by step behind Xia Nuo, joining the other five in a row...

He swallowed hard and spoke with difficulty:
"It should be said that the six top officials, the six calamities, have all gathered together... that's more accurate."
