One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Chapter 552 The Frozen Tsunami and the Black Emperor's Escape!

The sea off Beehive Island.

The massive crater in the sea, created by Uranus's blast, is frantically filling in.

After the seawater from all directions collided, it propelled all the accumulated kinetic energy toward Beehive Island.

Finally, a massive sea wall, almost obscuring half the sky, was pressing towards the port.

The marines and pirates at the port all stopped what they were doing, and some of them turned pale.

"This kind of thing..."

"How do I dodge?"

Sakazuki has issued an evacuation order.

At this point, no navy personnel hesitated any longer.

Warships lowered rope ladders to prioritize receiving the wounded.

Marines who were still able to fight were responsible for maintaining order, while those who were no longer able to move were carried onto the warships in batches.

Some people were still asking whether to continue capturing nearby pirates, but were directly stopped by their superiors.

"Get out of here alive first!"

"Didn't you hear the Marshal's orders?!"

Sakazuki himself remained at the forefront.

If Vochuli doesn't allow the navy to withdraw, then he won't retreat an inch.

Everyone is retreating.

Kuzan walked against the crowd toward the sea, the chill spreading from his feet and the surrounding temperature dropping rapidly.

The nearby marines quickly realized what he was about to do.

"General Kuzan!"

"The area affected by that tsunami was enormous!"

Kuzan looked up at the ever-rising sea wall.

"That's why it's a bit troublesome."

He slowly raised his hands, and a chill began to spread widely around his body.

In the past, freezing the surface of ordinary seas only took him a moment.

But this time, they were facing a super tsunami created by Uranus's attack. Not only was the volume of water enormous, but the entire sea wall was also moving at high speed.

Kuzan finally got serious.

"The Ice Age!"

boom!

A white, chilling aura swept forward.

The ice sheet spread wildly from the port to the open sea, freezing the sea surface first, followed by the cold air spreading rapidly upwards along the bottom of the tsunami.

Larger and larger areas are beginning to freeze.

But the impact of this tsunami was simply too strong.

The outermost layer had just frozen over when the high-speed seawater inside shattered it.

boom!

Large chunks of ice flew into the sky, and Kuzan also slid backward a step.

He frowned, and the chill intensified once more, soon covering the entire harbor in white fog.

Fujitora, who was originally preparing to return to the naval fleet, noticed this scene and stopped in his tracks.

Gravity did not press directly onto the waves, but rather acted in front of the tsunami, forcibly altering the speed at which this massive body of water advanced toward Beehive Island.

The sea wall, which was originally moving at high speed, seemed to suddenly sink into an invisible quagmire, and its speed decreased significantly.

Kuzan immediately seized the opportunity, allowing the ice layer to continue to cover the surface.

Fujitora spoke in a deep voice: "I can only stall for a little while longer."

Kuzan did not turn back.

That's enough.

High in the sky.

Dragon also noticed the port crisis, but the enhanced Maz still held him tightly.

He could not completely disengage from the battle, and could only use the existing massive storm to alter the airflow above the tsunami.

A strong crosswind swept from the center of Beehive Island outwards to both sides.

It cannot blow the hundreds-of-meters-high sea wall back directly, but it is enough to make the uppermost wave crest tilt to both sides, further reducing the destructive power of the tsunami's front.

Maz Saint immediately realized his intention.

"snort."

"You'd rather fight me than protect those people below?"

The dragon simply replied calmly, "That's why I'm here."

The next moment, the storm erupted again.

Finally, the massive sea wall crashed into the ice.

boom--!

The entire Beehive Island seemed to be pushed by the seawater.

Cracks continued to appear on the massive ice wall created by Kuzan, and Fujitora's gravitational field was also shaking violently, with large amounts of ice breaking off from the top of the sea wall.

But the tsunami ultimately did not actually reach the port.

A few seconds later, the terrifying impact was finally completely dissipated.

The seawater, which was originally hundreds of meters high, was frozen into a huge group of icebergs that stretch across the sea off Beehive Island.

The nearby marines were stunned for a few seconds, then some of them couldn't help but cheer.

Kuzan showed no sign of relaxation.

He simply looked up at the sky; the Ring of Uranus was still spinning.

While everyone's attention was drawn to the tsunami, Blackbeard had already led Lafitte swiftly through the eastern ruins.

His ship was hidden behind Beehive Island, a last resort he had prepared long ago.

Lafitte glanced back at the battlefield.

"captain."

"Where are Pizarro and the others?"

The man with the black beard didn't even turn his head.

"Keep up if you can, stay if you can't."

Lafitte did not press the matter further.

This is the real Teach.

Even though the officers on Beehive Island have been fighting for him for so long, he would never leave himself behind for anyone.

Just then, Blackbeard suddenly felt the temperature behind him rise sharply.

next moment.

boom!

A ball of fire pierced through the ruins from the side.

Blackbeard hurriedly rolled forward, and the spot where he had just been standing was instantly blasted apart by the flames.

Ace fell from the flames, his face cold.

"Teach".

The man with the black beard stopped, then laughed: "So you really did catch up."

Ace didn't waste any words: "Leave Daddy's power behind."

Blackbeard slowly raised his fist, and a white, vibrating orb appeared.

"If you're so capable, come and get it yourself."

Ace charged out again.

But Blackbeard had no intention of staying to continue the fight; instead, he punched the ground to his side.

Snap! The vibration spread instantly.

The eastern part of Beehive Island, which had already been severely damaged in the previous battle, suddenly experienced a large-scale collapse.

The streets fractured, the rock strata ripped up, and massive ruins surged toward Ace like a tidal wave.

Ace could only transform into flames and pass through the crack.

Seeing that Blackbeard had used Whitebeard's power to save his life, the anger in his eyes became even more pronounced.

"That's not for you to use to run away!"

Just as the black-bearded man crossed another street, the ground ahead suddenly turned into rubber.

He stomped down, and was immediately bounced back by the strong reaction force.

"What?!"

Luffy jumped down from the nearby ruins.

"Found you!"

Sabo landed on the other side, his dragon claws tearing through Blackbeard's escape route.

The three brothers surrounded each other again.

Blackbeard glanced at the three men, but instead of getting angry, he burst into laughter again.

"Thief, hahaha! He's really persistent."

Sabo calmly asked, "Weren't you eager to fight us just now?"

The man with the black beard said matter-of-factly, "That was just now. I don't have time right now."

Luffy tilted his head.

"You think you can just run away after losing?"

The vein on the black-bearded man's forehead throbbed.

If it were any other pirate, provoked by Luffy's words, they might actually stay to save face.

But Blackbeard was completely different; he was only briefly annoyed, and soon grinned again.

"Say whatever you want."

"Is face more valuable than life?"

Upon hearing this, Ace's disgust deepened.

Because that is the biggest difference between Teach and Whitebeard.

Whitebeard would risk his last life for his son.

Teach, however, was willing to abandon everyone in order to survive.

The next moment, the Soul-Soul Fruit activated.

As Blackbeard retreated, numerous corpses rose again from the ruins.

Some of the soul flames that had not yet been completely extinguished were forcibly stuffed into nearby buildings, rocks, and even weapons.

The street itself began to distort, and a large number of Homies opened their eyes.

Blackbeard didn't expect these things to defeat the three brothers; they just needed to buy him a few seconds.

Ace burned the first batch of dead with a single punch, Luffy's gigantic arm swept across the entire street, while Sabo specifically targeted those soul fire cores.

The three continued to advance at an extremely fast pace.

But Blackbeard was getting closer and closer to the shore on the other side.

Meanwhile, the Whitebeard Pirates finally managed to break away from Sengoku.

Marco and Joz rushed to their father's side immediately.

The tall figure remained standing, and no one dared to touch him easily.

Marco slowly walked up to the white-bearded man and remained silent for a long time.

There was no crying, nor any shouting.

He simply reached out and took his father's arm.

"Dad, come home with us."

Joz lowered his head.

Other members of the Whitebeard Pirates also approached.

They were going to bring Dad's body back to the Moby Dick.

But just as everyone was about to leave, Marco soon realized that one of the most important people was missing.

"Where's Ace?"

Someone pointed east: "They've gone after Teach."

Marco's expression changed instantly.

"What?!"

Joz's eyes also darkened.

In the past, they might have supported Ace in seeking revenge.

But now the island-destroying weapon in the sky is charging up for the second time, and Beehive Island could disappear at any moment.

Continuing to pursue Teach at this point... is tantamount to suicide.

Marco immediately pulled out a Den Den Mushi.

Contact Ace!

The Den Den Mushi rang soon after, and Ace heard it but didn't answer.

All he could see now was the black beard.

Luffy quickly realized this.

"Ace."

Ace did not turn around.

"I know."

Sabo glanced at him.

"Know what?"

Why is Marco looking for me?

Ace answered very calmly.

But it was precisely because of this calm that Sabo became even more worried.

Ace continued chasing after Blackbeard.

"Catch Teach first, then go back."

That sounds reasonable, but Blackbeard is almost at the beach.

And high in the sky.

After Uranus fired its first shot, the outer structure did not completely stop.

The areas that were previously destroyed by Kizaru are now functioning again under the influence of some unknown force.

This time, the surrounding weather changed much faster.

Perhaps because the first round of adjustments to the surrounding climate and sea area were already completed, Uranus did not need to accumulate energy for so long.

Viktor looked up.

If a second shot lands, they may not have enough time to organize everyone's attack as they did before.

We must evacuate as soon as possible.

He blasted Satan and Pitt away again, then spoke directly towards the Straw Hat crew.

"Luffy!"

"Everyone, return to the Sunshine!"

The back of Beehive Island.

A black pirate ship, hidden behind the reef, finally came into view.

Lafitte was the first to jump onto the deck.

"Captain! We've arrived!"

After seeing the boat, the man with the black beard noticeably quickened his pace.

If he can leave Beehive Island, and then use the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to create a tsunami, combined with the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Soul-Soul Fruit, he has many ways to escape the pursuit.

Blackbeard turned to look at the three brothers.

"Thief, hahaha!"

"It's a pity."

That's all for today!

The flames on Ace's body instantly surged.

"Don't leave!"

Blackbeard leaped toward the pirate ship.

Without any hesitation, Ace unleashed flames beneath his feet and chased after the sea.

Sabo immediately reached out.

"Ace!"

In the end, they only managed to grasp a wisp of flame.

Luffy was also ready to follow.

At that very moment, the Den Den Mushi in Ace's arms finally rang again.

This time, it wasn't Marco's voice that was heard, but the cries of a large number of Whitebeard Pirates members.

"Captain Ace! It's too late!"

"Dad has to get back to the ship intact!"

Ace paused in his movements.

Ahead, Blackbeard had already landed on the boat.

He turned around and saw this scene, instantly understanding what had happened.

A smile crept onto his lips again.

"What's wrong?"

"Captain Ace."

Blackbeard deliberately raised the fist that covered the vibrating orb.

"Didn't we say we were going to take back Dad's power?"

"I'm right here."

Come on!

Ace hovered above the sea.

Ahead, there was a man with a black beard.

Behind him were his sons, who were preparing to take the white-bearded man home.

And in the higher skies.

The pale light of Uranus's second energy storage is shining brightly again.

Sabo stood on the shore, staring intently at Ace.

"Ace, we should go."

Ace did not answer.

He just clenched his fist little by little.
