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

Chapter 343 "King of the Four Seas" Xia Nuo

The sea breeze is howling and the waves are surging.

Shano finally turned his gaze away from Mary Geoise.

This battle could be considered somewhat satisfying.

Im's defeat not only prevented him from posing as a god and looking down at the sea with that superior gaze;

This has also caused a severe shake-up to the world government's greatest reliance and confidence!
Next.

Once he takes another step forward and is confident that he can defeat Im's true form, it will be about time for the Fallen One to ascend to the Holy Land and engage in the final battle against this old order!
As for now...

"It's time to go back. I don't know if I can still finish up in time."

Xia Nuo grinned.

He arrived as if he were afraid he wouldn't make it in time.

So once out of the Five Elders' sight, he immediately spent two thousand points to activate the territory teleportation function.

It reached their own territory, the closest to the Sphinx.

Starting from there again, the time was reduced by nearly half, and they barely made it in time, successfully thwarting the Five Elders' plot to turn the white-bearded old man into a demon.

But if we go back now...

Several hours have already passed.

Whitebeard, who left long ago, should have arrived by now, even if he were rowing the Great Oar of the Supreme Realm.

The war is most likely over, so there's no need for him.

There's no need to waste points just to save a little time.

"lets go!"

Xia Nuo stretched his muscles and bones, and once again clearly felt the surging power within his body.

The effects of the Saiyan bloodline boosted his overall strength in every aspect.

—If in the past, when facing a powerful general, one still had to put in some effort, it was because the two sides were ultimately on the same level.

Now, the level is completely different!

For a powerhouse of this caliber, he was no different from a speed bump; dealing with them would be a matter of just a few punches and kicks!

boom!
Xia Nuo's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving only a ring of spreading sonic boom cloud.

He was even faster than when he arrived, like a black and red lightning bolt slicing through the sky, heading straight for the battlefield.

…………

Earlier, on the main battlefield.

"Damn it!"

The giant skeletal horse that Nasujiro had transformed into neighed angrily, its eyes filled with terror.

Just now, he clearly sensed the disappearance of his master's aura... no, it should be said that he left Qinghai and returned to the sacred land.

But in any case, this means that Lord Im's vessel has been defeated!

how so!
That's the master himself, how could he possibly lose?

Could it be that guy, that man, has really become that powerful now?!

"Being distracted during battle is not a good habit."

A cool, clear female voice came from above.

Angewomon spread her eight wings, drew her golden longbow to its fullest extent, and pointed the sacred arrow directly at Nasujuro's brow, shouting sharply:

"The Arrow of Absolute Divinity!"

Oops!

Nasujiro Seiji was caught off guard; there was no time to block the arrow!

call out!
The arrow shot through the air and struck Nasujuro Sei precisely on the forehead.

Divine energy and the power of immortality collided violently, producing a piercing corrosive sound.

"Uh ah ah!"

Nasujiro roared in agony. Although he managed to deflect the arrow, a large hole was burned into his forehead, from which black blood flowed continuously.

He brandished the demon sword Onikiri, attempting to counterattack Angewomon, but his movements were noticeably slower than before.

The reason he was able to hold off Angewomon single-handedly despite the element of weakness was because his basic abilities were superior to hers, and his base stats were a level above hers.

But this shot caused his performance to decline significantly, making it difficult for him to continue.

We can't keep fighting like this!
Nasujiro, enduring excruciating pain, suddenly tilted his head back and let out a roar of unwilling defiance:

"All troops, listen to my command! Retreat! Retreat!"

This order echoed throughout the entire battlefield, startling all the naval commanders, who looked bewildered.

"Huh? Retreat?!"

Green Bull, who was engaged in fierce combat with Fujitora, turned around in disbelief. "Sir, what's going on? Didn't you say that reinforcements would arrive soon...?"

I've gritted my teeth and persevered until now, just waiting for this.

The result now?

"The situation has changed. Shut your mouth and carry out orders!"

Nasujuro roared and swung his sword with all his might, temporarily forcing Angewomon back. Then he turned his gaze to Akainu.

"Sakaski!"

Nassshuro shouted sternly, "Obey orders! Cover the retreat! Now!"

Those old men who go back on their word!

Akainu's face was ashen, but as a soldier, he still unleashed a full-force punch, repelling Aokiji, and roared at the entire army:

"All warships, turn around! Break through and evacuate at all costs! Lieutenant generals and above are responsible for covering the rear! Huang Mu, create an escape route!"

"Yes, senior, it's truly frustrating... but this is the only way!"

Rumbling--

Below the fleet at Naval Headquarters, a large number of vines emerged, turning the terrain back into sea surface and helping the warships change direction.

And just then.

call out!
A golden light shone from the horizon, dazzling and causing countless people to instinctively look up.

"That...is that Admiral Kizaru?"

"It can't be wrong!"

"The general has finally arrived!"

Hope rekindled in the previously dim eyes of the naval soldiers—wasn't this reinforcement?
But as the golden light drew closer, they were horrified to discover—

boom!
Kizaru's figure descended from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground. He awkwardly exited his elemental state, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Goo la la la la la!"

Whitebeard's loud laughter followed from afar. The enormous figure stepped into the sky with Moonwalk, and Murakumogiri, wrapped in black and red lightning, slashed down!

"What luck! I didn't expect to run into you on my way back, you brat Kizaru! You dared to attack my hometown, I won't let you leave so easily!"

No.

So, General, you were chased all the way here!

The group of naval soldiers looked at the disheveled Kizaru, then at the black and red light that had appeared in the sky, and felt like crying.

What else can we say? Well, let's stay away from the general and keep running for our lives!
…………

at the same time.

Navy G-5 Branch.

On the smoke-filled battlefield, Smoker, a cigar dangling from his lips, casually rested his hands on his shoulders, white smoke swirling around him.

He looked at the two vice admirals who had been defeated at his feet.

The two men were soaked in blood, yet they were still struggling to get up, panting heavily.

"Give up, you two."

Smoker shook his head:

"Your branch's fleet has been completely destroyed by us, and the banner of the Fallen Ones has been planted at the highest point of your base. As for the two of you, even if you join forces, you are no match for me. The war is over!" "Ahem... Junior Brother Smoker!"

On the left, Vice Admiral Keisha coughed up blood and gritted her teeth, saying:

“You are indeed strong enough now... If you are willing to return to the Navy, the position of Admiral candidate will definitely be yours, and a bright future awaits you. Do you really have to go down the same dark path as the Fallen Ones?”

"Are you so stubborn? What nonsense are you spouting? You're the ones who're blindly going down a dark path!"

Smoker scoffed dismissively, "Besides, even Professor Zephyr has left the Navy. You guys who are still working for the World Government, stop calling me 'junior brother'!"

Boom!
The ten blows struck down, knocking the two struggling lieutenant generals unconscious.

"Tie them up!"

"Yes, Mr. Smoker!"

At that moment, accompanied by the sound of "blu-blu," the Den Den Mushi rang.

“It’s me, Smoker.”

Smoker answered the phone, listened for a while, and then raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Is the war on the main battlefield over? A complete victory?"

"I just finished here too, so I can give you my report and we can celebrate together."

Smoker exhaled a smoke ring and grinned, saying:
"I have led the 6th and 7th Divisions of the Combat Corps and have completely conquered the Navy's G-5 Branch!"

……

The setting sun is like blood.

The magnificent fortress of the G-1 branch has changed its flag.

"Yes, the outcome is already decided."

Shiryu of the Rain wiped the blood from the blade, sheathed it, then lit a cigar and reported coldly:
"This is the 1st, 5th, and 9th Divisions of the Combat Corps, and the G-1 Branch of the Navy. We have defeated them, breached the fortress, and occupied the entire territory!"

……

"I am Terfalgar Law, the captain of the Second Division. Please report to the head of the household."

The man in the leopard-print hat had no choice but to reluctantly extend his hand and give a high five to the young man with the mohawk who had been laughing and joking for so long.

Then he continued speaking in a deep voice to the Den Den Mushi:

"The Navy's G-13 branch has been captured by our squad and the Fourth Squad."

……

"This is the 3rd and 10th Divisions of the combat regiment led by Nojiko, the G-14 branch of the Navy. It has been completely annihilated and captured by us!"

……

"Hey, hey, hey, is anyone listening? This is Sanji... Get lost! Mosshead, who cares if your stomach's growling? Can't you see I'm giving a report... Cough, hello? Report! Marine G-9 Branch, we've taken it down!"

……

……

After the clarion call of the new era was sounded.

These rolling waves seem to never stop.

then.

At the end of August in the year 1517 of the Haiyuan calendar, a small incident and a big incident occurred simultaneously.

What is called a trivial matter.

It was an island called "Sphinx" that sank completely into the sea and disappeared into the ocean, becoming a speck of dust in the long river of history.

Few people pay attention.

But big things are different.

—The World Government suffered an unprecedented defeat in its war against the Enders and the Whitebeard Pirates!

Not only on the main battlefield, the elite force of over 50,000 men suffered heavy casualties, with less than half escaping back.

The main force of "The Curtain Falls" took the initiative and completely conquered the seven branches of the Navy in the New World!
what does this mean?
This means that the navy has been completely expelled from the New World, and for the first time in eight hundred years, the World Government has lost control of an entire sea area!
And those who fade into obscurity...

This also marks the first time in eight hundred years that a nation has defeated the World Government in a direct confrontation, thus establishing itself as a force to be reckoned with!

With the World Economic News Agency in operation, detailed news about the war made headlines the following day.

Countless newsbirds took flight, spreading the news across the world at an alarming speed.

From the East China Sea to the North China Sea, and then to the Grand Line...

The world was shaken!
of course.

Following this war, the World Government used its newly controlled newspaper channels to release their war results, concealing their own defeats and taking the opportunity to increase the bounty on the Fallen Ones.

The original five top executives all received an additional 200 million Berries, so the change wasn't significant.

Kuzan, a former admiral of the Navy Headquarters who betrayed his country and joined the Fallen Ones, has a bounty of 4.435 billion Berries on his head.

She broke Angewomon's record again, becoming the "pirate" with the highest initial bounty.

As for Xia Nuo himself...

He was then promoted by the World Government to "the world's most terrifying rebel leader," and his bounty skyrocketed by another billion Berries, reaching a staggering 7.3 billion Berries!
Unfortunately.

After so many major events, no matter how hard the world governments try to cover up and make amends, their credibility has plummeted to rock bottom.

Even the people of those member states are mostly more willing to believe the news released by the side that has fallen.

No matter how high the bounty is set, or how dangerous or frightening the title is, what difference does it make?
After this great battle.

Amidst countless discussions that ranged from shock and fear to ecstasy.

—That man's fame and prestige have reached an unprecedented peak!
at the same time.

People began to feel that...

The title of "World's Greatest Swordsman" or "One of the Four Emperors" alone is not enough to demonstrate this man's strength.

then.

Without realizing it...

As word spread among the people and carried by the sea breeze, more and more people and places began to use titles that better expressed reverence.

The man named Xia Nuo was referred to as—

"King of the Four Seas"!
This name, once it appeared, gained the recognition of countless people.

after all.

Throughout the entire history of the Sea Era, no one has ever been able to bring down the Celestial Dragons from their pedestal, defeat the Marine Headquarters head-on, and shake the foundation of the World Government like Xia Nuo!
Even the most rebellious and conservative people have to reluctantly admit it at this moment.

The new era has truly arrived!

And the masters of this era, the leaders of this era...

It was Xia Nuo!

…………

Holy Land, Marie Gioia.

Inside the flowers.

A tall, slender figure stood silently before the Void Throne, the spiral-shaped pupils reflecting the newspaper headlines pasted on the wall.

The wanted poster for Xia Nuo was prominently displayed on it, and next to it was the eye-catching new title: King of the Four Seas.

"Ah……"

A soft, enigmatic laugh echoed through the empty hall.

King of the four seas?
This reminded Him of the descendant of David who once called himself "King of the World".

but……

"How dare a mere mortal presume to call himself 'King'?"

The voice suddenly turned icy cold.

Before he could finish speaking, the newspaper was reduced to ashes in a sudden burst of dark purple flames.

"I'll let you enjoy the limelight for a while."

"My world is about to be completed. Then I can leave this room. I'll see how long you can be so arrogant."
