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

Chapter 335 Kizaru's whereabouts, the Five Elders appear!

Phantom beast species?
What nonsense is this old man spouting?

However, Angewomon wasn't interested in correcting her. She looked up at the sky, her brows slightly furrowed.
"According to our intelligence, this should be the case. If it weren't for strong enough backup, the navy should have withdrawn long ago. However, those old men should have shown up by now. Strange, why haven't they appeared yet..."

"Gurararara! Who knows? Maybe those cowards gave up on the navy because they realized there was no hope of victory!"

Whitebeard laughed heartily:
"In comparison, I find it more strange to you Fallen Ones. Only a few top-ranking officials came this time. Hey, young lady, where are the rest? Surely they're not all just sitting at home waiting for orders?"

This is something I really can't understand.

After all, judging from Xia Nuo's previous actions...

When it comes to enemies, we never hesitate to eliminate them completely. Last time, during our expedition to the North Sea, we even dared to lead tens of thousands of people on an expedition from the New World.

This time, the Navy Headquarters' advance into the New World presents a rare opportunity to severely damage them, so there's no reason for them to only bring a few people.

"The Whitebeard Pirates have more than 50,000 men, isn't that more than enough?"

Angewomon spoke coldly:
"Compared to this, with the entire Marine Headquarters mobilized, they are unable to provide assistance to those branches in the New World. Don't you think this is the best time to completely drive the Marines out of the New World?"

Ok?
Whitebeard realized something, "Hey, hey, little girl, do you mean to say..."

"At a time like this, it won't hurt to tell you."

Angewomon said expressionlessly:
"The forces of the Fallen Warriors, led by Shiryu of the Rain, Smoker, and Noji, split into six groups to attack the G-5, G-13, and G-14 branches simultaneously."

"Judging by the time, we should be close to taking it down by now."

"As for the most powerful G1 branch, it happened to run into the enemy's main fleet coming to support this battlefield on our way here, and Lord Shano has already taken care of it."

Whitebeard was startled.

Is this why Xia Nuo said he encountered an accident on the way and was delayed when he descended from the sky?

The one who brought down the curtain, you really did something amazing!
To know.

All of the naval branches established along the Grand Line begin with the letter G, which stands for "Great".

Its military strength far surpasses that of ordinary branches across the country, and its military rank is comparable to that of the headquarters.

The seven branches established in the New World are of particular importance as frontline strongholds in the confrontation with the Four Emperors!

Almost every New World branch is commanded by no fewer than two lieutenant generals and has a force of at least several thousand men, sometimes even tens of thousands.

Furthermore, they can respond to headquarters at any time, provide mutual support, and cooperate in combat!

Even Whitebeard had been helpless against these thorns in his side, and could only let them occupy the edge of his territory.

But now.

Will all seven branches cease to exist?!
Doesn't this mean...?

All the foundations and arrangements that the Navy Headquarters had built up in the New World over the years have been completely wiped out in an instant!

Whitebeard snapped out of his shock, composed himself, and burst into laughter:
"Gurrah! What audacity! It seems I underestimated that guy's ambition after all!"

at this time.

The Den Den Mushi in his arms suddenly rang urgently.

Blub-blub, blub-blub~~~!

"Ok?"

Whitebeard answered the call curiously. Why would someone call him at a time like this?

"Dad!"

On the other end of the phone came the anxious voice of Izou, the captain of the 16th Division who was left behind at the base:

"This is bad! Our scouts have spotted Kizaru! It seems that after entering the New World, he didn't follow the main Marine force, but instead headed towards Sphinx Island alone!"

Whitebeard's smile suddenly froze.

Where are we headed?

Sphinx Island?!

A surge of anger rose in his chest. That was his hometown, the sacred place he was willing to spend all his savings and his entire life to protect!
Aside from his sons, nothing was more important to him than maintaining the peace and tranquility of the place.

How dare you, Kizaru!
"Dad! What do we do?"

Izang was clearly also a little flustered. "The only squad leader left to guard the territory is me and Jingudo. Ugh, this is really troublesome... Why don't we two go over there first and check the situation..."

"Don't go!"

Whitebeard interrupted Izo sharply, "What nonsense are you talking about, you idiot son? Even if you two combined, you're no match for Kizaru. Going there will only be a pointless death! You're not allowed to go!"

"But Dad..."

"Don't worry, the Fallen Ones have made their move. The battle here is over. I'm off on my way!"

Whitebeard hung up the phone, turned to Angewomon, and said in a deep voice:
"Tell that kid Xia Nuo that I have to leave temporarily! I'm leaving this place in your hands, okay?"

Angewomon was taken aback, and before she could nod, Whitebeard had already raised his head and roared:
"Marco!"

Marco was not far away, having just defeated a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral. Upon hearing his father's voice, he transformed into a dark blue firebird without hesitation and flew over.

"To the Sphinx!"

Whitebeard grabbed Marco's wing, and the phoenix easily lifted his massive body, sending him soaring into the sky.

"Sphinx?"

Marco was slightly taken aback.

"We'll talk about it on the way; getting on the road is the priority!"

Whitebeard said in a deep voice, glancing back at Shano's direction.

Sengoku was still being unilaterally beaten, and even when he had a chance to fight back, he couldn't inflict any real damage on Xia Nuo.

Judging from this situation, it won't be long before the outcome is completely decided. When Shano withdraws his hand, the Navy will suffer a complete defeat.

"Gurala... Kid, this time I owe you one!"

Whitebeard laughed loudly in Shano's direction, then shouted sharply, "Go!"

It's possible to make it!
This area of ​​the sea is not far from the Sphinx, and with Marco's flying speed, he can definitely catch up!
"Yes, Dad!"

boom!
Suddenly, the phoenix's wings burst forth with dazzling blue flames. In the instant the sonic boom clouds exploded, the man and the bird streaked across the sky like meteors, heading straight for Sphinx Island!

……

Over the battlefield.

With a sinister grin, Xia Nuo unleashed a punch that sent the Demon Buddha Zhan Guo flying over a hundred meters away. As he landed, he caught a glimpse of the blue flame disappearing into the horizon, and raised an eyebrow.

That is……

Marco left with Whitebeard?
What is the situation?

Xia Nuo frowned slightly. Seeing the Angewomon flying over, he was about to go and ask it a question when suddenly a deafening explosion came from afar!
Rumbling--

The entire sea trembled violently, and towering waves surged into the sky!

"Hey! What's going on?!"

Everyone on the battlefield involuntarily stopped what they were doing and stared in astonishment at the source of the explosion.

Four bolts of purplish-black lightning descended from the sky and landed in the center of the battlefield. The thick teleportation array patterns continued to extend, and black mist filled the air, turning the entire sea surface dark!
"Is it finally here..."

Angewomon snorted coldly, stopped in her tracks, and suddenly spread her eight wings, the holy light instantly dispelling the surrounding gloom.

Then he looked up and gazed at the four figures that were gradually solidifying.

They were none other than the four Five Elders!

The leader, Garin, had a sinister expression. He glanced around and said indifferently:
"It's really lively. Of course, with two royal fleets and tens of thousands of naval soldiers, how could it not be lively?"

"fair enough."

Volchuli stepped forward, "Perfect timing to wipe out your pirate gang in one fell swoop, saving us the trouble of..."

Nasujuro Sei, expressionless, drew his demon sword, Kitetsu, and coldly replied:
"Don't waste your time!"
