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

Chapter 332 The Intimidating Power of That Man! [First Update]

There were only seven people in front of them.

But that invisible pressure swept across the entire battlefield like a monstrous wave, and even the air seemed to freeze!

Especially when the black-haired figure, surrounded by the Six Calamities in the center, swept his gaze over.

Almost all the naval officers felt short of breath and their hearts were about to skip a beat.

Even the ten pacifists temporarily stopped their attack and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Previously.

Facing the Whitebeard Pirates, the Marine Headquarters, from top to bottom, was absolutely confident of victory.

Even the most pessimistic and conservative viewpoints would only suggest that it would take considerable effort and be difficult to resolve quickly.

But there are seven more people...

It’s different!

The situation, the victory or defeat, everything is different now!
"It's suddenly become a little eeriely quiet."

Above the sky, Marco, transformed into a phoenix, chuckled merrily. "He's already scared tens of thousands of marines like this just by showing his face. That man's intimidation is truly exaggerated."

And directly below him.

Moria knelt there in a sorry state, his face swollen like a pig's head, clearly having been completely outmatched in the previous exchange.

Even if he isn't known for his offensive prowess, Marco was, after all, the second-in-command of the Whitebeard Pirates, and before the rise of the Fallen Ones, he was known as the strongest man below the Four Emperors.

A Shichibukai who has lost his former ambition and whose domineering aura has been somewhat wasted is naturally no match for him.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is really bad!"

Moria, clutching his swollen cheek, had no time to pay attention to Marco. He looked at the figure in the distance, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

How could he be the one who falls from grace!
How could it be Xia Nuo!

The opponent's level has completely changed!
Why am I so unlucky? I still couldn't avoid this guy?

Although this was their first meeting, he had already heard of this guy's reputation a year and a half ago...

At that time, rumors were circulating on the high seas that an unprecedentedly ruthless figure had arrived at Paradise. He had just entered the Grand Line and had already ruthlessly killed two Shichibukai in succession!
Even when Admiral Akainu himself personally took action, he couldn't defeat him after a fierce battle!

Terrified Moriah, he sailed his Thriller Bark to the deepest part of the Devil's Triangle overnight, not daring to leave the house.

After all, of the Seven Warlords of the Sea at that time, the other four were in the New World, while he was still active in the first half!

—No matter how you look at it, this monster is coming for me!

He only breathed a sigh of relief and felt incredibly fortunate to have survived when he heard that the guy had gone to the New World and had even cut off Rayleigh's arm on the way.

In the end, he still couldn't escape this calamity!

Moria was filled with remorse and wished he could slap himself.

Having received the summons, I was certain that the Navy was going to take action against Whitebeard, and I couldn't wait to come and witness the old man's demise.

Better now!

Whitebeard is alright, but I'm afraid I'll lose my life here!
Just as Moria was filled with fear and trepidation.

He suddenly noticed that Hawkeye and the Empress, who were not far from him, were reacting very differently.

"Ok?"

Hawkeye Mihawk raised his head, his sharp gaze sweeping across the battlefield and locking onto the black-haired figure.

What an unexpected surprise.

"Is this the day we've finally been waiting for?"

His deep voice suppressed an indescribable fighting spirit.

Fate seemed to be toying with him, repeatedly missing him and causing him great disappointment, but now, he has finally met the real person!

Snapped!
Without further hesitation, Mihawk strode forward.

"Hey, Mihawk!" Vista raised his twin swords in annoyance. "Where do you think you're going? Our duel isn't over yet!"

"Go away."

Mihawk said coldly without turning his head, and with a casual strike, the terrifying sword energy that burst forth instantly sent Vista flying hundreds of meters away.

ha?
Feeling the sword energy, which was on a completely different level from the previous one, Vista was stunned. No way, he was having a great time fighting just now.

So it turns out this guy wasn't really going all out the whole time?

the other side.

Hancock's cheeks were flushed with a sickly redness, like an overripe apple, and her legs were unconsciously rubbing against each other.

"Lord Xia Nuo... It's Lord Xia Nuo! What an honor for me to finally see him in person again..."

She suddenly clutched her chest and staggered two steps, curling up like a boiled shrimp in the horrified gaze of her sisters.

A pink heart-shaped ripple spread uncontrollably, instantly petrifying a dozen unfortunate naval soldiers around it before they even realized what was happening.

"Sister!" Sandasonia rushed forward to support her. "Please pull yourself together! We're still on the battlefield!"

"Ugh, there's no way... I... I can't go on..."

Hancock's eyes were glazed over, and she gasped in pain, "Damn it, this reunion is far too hasty! I wasn't dressed in my best attire! Quick, go and fetch my dress!"

“Who would bring something like that to the battlefield!” another sister, Marigold, cried out in despair.

Neuropathy!
Moria cursed under his breath.

What's wrong with these two freaks? The guy on the other side is Shano! He's a terrifying man whose reputation is even higher than Rocks' back in the day! Instead of thinking about how to run away, one of them is filled with fighting spirit and wants to go to meet him, while the other is directly swooning over him on the spot!

This old man is not going to play along!

Without saying a word, Moria secretly activated his Devil Fruit power.

The shadow beneath his feet suddenly seemed to come alive, silently slipping behind the warship...

According to Moriah's plan, he would first move the shadow far away, and once no one was paying attention to him, he would simply switch places with the shadow and escape.

But at that very moment, Xia Nuo's gaze swept over.

Moria froze, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and even his shadow dared not move.

result……

Xia Nuo's gaze merely swept over him, without lingering for long.

Or rather, they didn't even notice the onion-headed fat otaku. After surveying the entire battlefield and taking in the situation, he simply looked away.

"Newgate".

Xia Nuo looked at the giant man wielding the Murakumogiri in the distance and grinned:
"We didn't seem to arrive too late. Judging from the situation, it seems you haven't suffered too much loss yet?"

"Of course."

Whitebeard snorted, and Murakumogiri slammed heavily onto the ground:
"Didn't I say I didn't need your help? The Whitebeard Pirates can handle the mere Navy on their own!"

That being said.

But looking at the six imposing officers behind Shano, and then at his own sons who were all more or less injured in the fierce battle just now, Whitebeard had to admit it.

These guys really arrived just in time!
However, given his pride, there was no way he would admit defeat verbally.

"Yes, yes, I know you're amazing."

Xia Nuo waved his hand, too lazy to argue with this stubborn old man who was about to enter his coffin, and turned his gaze to Akainu and Green Bull opposite him.

"..."

Green Bull wanted to say a few polite words, but as soon as he saw that face, a sharp pain shot through him from where his severed arm was connected to his shoulder.

His Adam's apple bobbed for a long time, but he ultimately didn't dare to speak.

He will never forget that day in the Milky Way.

Although he had fought Yixiao for a day and a night and his condition had declined considerably, his opponent had severed his arm with just one sword strike.

That overwhelming power disparity still haunts him to this day.

"Hey, this is bad... Sakazuki-senpai, what should we do now?"

Green Bull subconsciously glanced at Akainu beside him, only to find that his most respected veteran admiral also had a livid face, looking extremely unpleasant.

His gaze was fixed on Xia Nuo, and the raging fire in his eyes was almost tangible.

"It's you again, Xia Nuo, it's you again!!!"

Akainu gritted his teeth, "Now that things have come to this, Aramaki, are you still asking me what to do? Compared to Whitebeard, this guy is our greatest enemy! He's standing right in front of you, do you have any other choice?!"

As soldiers, when facing such a mortal enemy, the word "retreat" should not exist in our vocabulary!

"But……"

Green Bull hesitated. "If we face these two all at once, won't our combat strength be insufficient? By the way, what about the general-level combat force that you mentioned before, which the higher-ups promised to send?"

We still haven't seen a trace of them!

How did he know!

Akainu's face darkened. Even those in command hadn't anticipated that the Whitebeard Pirates had left their base and were lying in ambush here.

But the war has been going on for quite some time now, it should be time...

"What's the rush, Huang Mu? I'm already here."

An aged, steady, and indifferent voice suddenly resounded between heaven and earth.

The next moment.

boom! ! !
The void in the center of the battlefield suddenly distorted, and a huge purple-black pentagram array appeared out of thin air. Purple-black lightning that pierced through the heavens and earth suddenly erupted, dyeing the entire sky an ominous dark color!

"This is... the Five Elders' teleportation array?!"

Green Bull was startled, but then his face lit up with surprise. Since joining the Navy, he had visited the Holy Land and met those important figures.

But this was the first time he had ever seen the Five Elders descend to the mortal realm!
Akainu, standing to the side, narrowed his eyes and looked up in disbelief.

The sound that just rang out was extremely familiar.

I've heard it countless times over the years, but it's definitely not from any of the Five Elders!

Could it be that……

hum!
Amidst the violent tremors of space, an extremely enormous figure slowly stepped out from the magic array; it was none other than a pitch-black demonic Buddha nearly a hundred meters tall!

The body, its gold paint peeling off, was wreathed in purplish-black karmic flames, with purplish-black flame clouds drifting behind it.

The face that should have been compassionate was now twisted like a demon, with six scarlet demonic eyes appearing on its forehead, their opening and closing constantly swirling with bloody light.

In the ensuing silence, the demonic Buddha, towering above, spoke indifferently:

“Sakazuki, and Shano, Newgate… it’s been so long since we last met.”

　There will be another update, with more words than this one. I'll continue writing late into the night, so you can read it tomorrow morning.
