Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 430 Enies Lobby! Impel Down! The war suddenly descends into chaos!

"Shanks?"

A look of surprise flashed across Luffy's eyes.

Because during his most dangerous moment as a child, Shanks lost an arm to save him; unexpectedly, this time, when he was in the most danger, it was Shanks who came to his rescue once again…

"Shanks..."

Luffy's eyes instantly filled with tears.

At times like this...

It's impossible not to be moved.

Shanks is Luffy's friend, benefactor, and mentor, a figure who allows Luffy to cry like a child.

"Don't cry, Luffy!"

With a piece of meat dangling from his mouth, Raki Lu chuckled and teased loudly, "You're not a child anymore! If you cry now, we'll laugh at you mercilessly!"

"I won't cry!"

Luffy immediately stopped crying and shouted loudly.

"Redheads!"

Garp's fist suddenly clenched!

If it weren't for that bastard Shanks leading Luffy to become a pirate, Luffy would have become a Marine as he envisioned, instead of being on the execution platform like he is now!

"This guy..."

Aokiji's expression became wary.

Red-haired Shanks…

He remains one of the four emperors of the sea.

The reason why Shanks' status has never declined is entirely because both Kaido of the Beasts and Charlotte Linlin, the two Emperors of the Sea, were defeated by the Konoha Pirates. The fact that the status of all three Emperors of the Sea declined is equivalent to the fact that none of the three Emperors of the Sea declined.

Even though many people believe that these Sea Emperors are nothing more than stray dogs in the hands of the Konoha Pirates, they still possess combat power that is enough to crush most people in the world.

The navy personnel present were in uproar.

They were expecting to see the Revolutionary Army, but instead, the Red-Haired Pirates appeared!

but…

The group of sailors quickly calmed down from their shock.

If the visitors were the Revolutionary Army, the Navy would feel somewhat uneasy; but if they were pirates, their mission was to eliminate them!

however…

The world government wouldn't think that way!

Mary Geoise.

This sacred site of the world government is still under renovation.

Everyone knows that even with further repairs, this sacred place will never regain its former glory until the World Government eliminates the Konoha Pirates.

The only two remaining members of the Five Elders, Saint Satan and Saint Nassuro, remained in Pangaea. They watched the images transmitted from Enies Lobby, and when they saw Shanks appear, a look of astonishment flashed in their eyes!

"What's the redhead doing there?!"

Saint Satan immediately reached for his Den Den Mushi, his face full of anger: "You want to rescue Luffy, the Dragon Prince?"

Nasujuro, wiping the edge of his blade, succinctly guessed Shanks's thoughts: "It must be because the Dragon Child possesses the power of the Nika Fruit, right?"

"Now is not the time for him to be an enemy of the World Government!"

Satan angrily dialed a Den Den Mushi, desperate to contact Shanks immediately: "The Konoha Pirates are still threatening our rule, the Revolutionary Army is causing trouble, and now he wants to start a war? What's he doing here?!"

but…

The Den Den Mushi (transponder) call didn't go through.

After the Skypiea battle, Satan gave Shanks a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) that could be used for communication at any time, hoping that the World Government would fully understand the ancient technology and be able to use Shanks' power whenever they wanted to wipe out the Konoha Pirates in the future.

however…

Shanks, perhaps anticipating that the two remaining members of the Five Elders would contact him via Den Den Mushi to discuss the withdrawal of troops, simply cut off the communication!

Judiciary Island.

Red-haired Shanks drew his rapier, Griffin, and pointed it toward the execution platform, his voice sounding somewhat relaxed and leisurely.

"Satan Saint!"

"Nasu Shouro Sei!"

"I know you can see everything that's happening here..."

After giving a greeting, Shanks' voice suddenly turned stern: "I don't want a conflict with the World Government. Please order the Navy to release Luffy immediately, otherwise, I will have no choice but to take him away from them by force!"

"Stop shouting, pirates!"

A navy officer angrily began to curse loudly. How could the navy possibly show weakness to the pirates and release criminals who were about to be executed at this time!

Stop dreaming!

"We are cloaked in the banner of justice!"

"How could the Navy possibly compromise with pirates!"

"Even if you're the Emperor of the Sea, we'll wipe you out the pirates right now!"

The entire navy on Enies Lobby immediately erupted in shouts and curses. They had no intention of submitting to pirates, especially under the watchful eyes of the entire world!

Obviously.

It's obvious to everyone...

The navy will never yield to the world.

Even the Five Elders, even knowing that Shanks might be a future asset, were unwilling to do anything that would cause the World Government to lose face at this time…

no way.

The rule of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons was already precarious.

It's one thing for the Konoha Pirates to kick us while we're down, the World Government really can't do anything about them; it's also tolerable for the Revolutionary Army to kick us while we're down, since the Revolutionary Army and the World Government are inherently enemies...

just now…

The Red-Haired Pirates want to step on us too? The World Government is the largest authority on the entire sea, not something to be trampled on!

Shanks' stance, in particular, is very problematic...

At a time when the Celestial Dragons' control over the world has been greatly reduced, he still has to come to Enies Lobby to rescue Luffy, the most important criminal. This is absolutely intolerable!

Red hair's butt...

The seat I'm sitting in is a little crooked!

Bulu bulu bulu…

Aokiji's other Den Den Mushi rang.

The Marine Admiral frowned, reached out and connected the Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scoop). Satan's voice came from the other end: "If Shanks refuses to withdraw his troops and insists on taking Luffy, the Dragon Prince, away, the Marines will immediately repel him!"

"War will inevitably result in casualties..."

Aokiji's brow remained furrowed, and he couldn't help but ask, "If Shanks insists on taking Straw Hat Luffy's hat, should the Navy kill him...?"

"You shouldn't have that capability..."

Saint Satan snorted coldly and continued, "No matter what, we cannot let the red-haired man take the Dragon Child away. The rest is up to you!"

This old man…

They simply passed the difficult problem to Aokiji.

Satan, high above, stated the result he wanted and issued his orders, regardless of whether they were reasonable, and forcefully demanded that his subordinates carry them out, because he also found it extremely difficult.

Mary Geoise.

Satan hung up his Den Den Mushi.

Nasujiro stood beside him and asked, "Should we go see Lord Im and ask for his opinion?"

"Let's go."

Satan was also quite helpless about this.

However, Lord Im, who stands at the pinnacle of world power, did not express any opinion on this matter, and it seems that he has not yet figured out what to do. He just does not want to release Straw Hat Luffy, because the power in Luffy's body is also a big problem and one of the targets that needs to be eliminated.

Judiciary Island.

Aokiji's expression was unusually solemn.

After much deliberation, the admiral of the Marine Headquarters could only obey the orders of the Five Elders and absolutely not release Straw Hat Luffy, at least not to tarnish the prestige of the Marines.

"It seems you intend to reject our offer..."

Red-haired Shanks stood at the bow of the ship, shaking his head with some regret. He swung his rapier Griffin down suddenly, his eyes instantly hardening!

next moment!

A slash shot skyward!

Along with this slash came a surge of Conqueror's Haki!

Red-haired Shanks seemed unwilling to let his comrades get hurt, so he unleashed his Conqueror's Haki to its fullest extent, intending to take down most of the Marines by himself using Haki!

Sky…

In an instant, the winds and clouds surged.

The entire sky above Enies Lobby was filled with cumulus clouds imbued with Armament Haki. The clouds seemed to flow slowly down like water, and black and red arcs of electricity flickered continuously within them!

This is the Conqueror's Haki of the Sea Emperor!

Even if this Emperor of the Sea is defeated by a stronger one, it doesn't mean he can be provoked by a weaker one. The overwhelming Conqueror's Haki is destroying buildings on Enies Lobby in an instant!

"Everyone on high alert!"

"All soldiers below the rank of colonel, stand back!"

"Get behind me, don't try to be a hero!"

One by one, the naval officers activated their Armament Haki and stood in front, shouting loudly for the naval soldiers to retreat, worried that they could not withstand the impact of this Conqueror's Haki!

after all…

Even if they wanted to resist the impact of this domineering aura, they would have to expend a huge amount of Armament Haki, and many colonels were even teetering on the brink of collapse under the impact of this domineering aura!

"Gravity Blade - Fierce Tiger!"

Fujitora leaped up from his chair and stood in front of the numerous marines. He suddenly drew his cane sword, directly confronting Shanks's Haki!

This vice admiral…

He was trying to resist this terrifying aura attack on the other marines all by himself!

"You're kidding, right..."

Green Bull sat in his chair, beads of cold sweat appearing on his forehead: "This level of Conqueror's Haki... is this the power of a Yonko...?"

however…

Vice Admiral Fujitora of the Marine Headquarters actually managed to stop the first wave of Conqueror's Haki attack by relying on his Gravity Fruit and Armament Haki!

"It seems saving them won't be so easy..."

Red-Haired Shanks swung his rapier, deflecting an incoming gravity slash. His eyes finally sharpened, and he raised his rapier high: "Let's just do it! Charge in and rescue Luffy!"

"Charge!"

"Hooray, we've been waiting for this, boss!"

"It should have been done a long time ago!"

"We don't want to see our friends kneeling there!"

A group of pirates, like wild beasts released from their cages, charged towards the execution platform on Enies Lobby, eager to cause a huge disturbance!

"The soldiers below are the fighting force to deal with the revolutionary army."

"The Red-Haired Pirates are all powerful pirates. Sending our soldiers to fight them is like a piece of meat running into a butcher's knife..."

Akihara Kagura's gaze fell on Green Bull, and looking at the sweat-drenched Green Bull, she said coldly, "You bastard, are you too scared to go up?"

"You bastard, don't underestimate me!"

Green Bull gritted his teeth and cursed, leaping from his chair and charging headlong at the Red-Haired Pirates. Vines sprouted from the ground, transforming into giant tree-men that charged towards the enemy!

Bang!

With a thigh in his mouth, Lucky Roux charged to the front and fired a burst of shots at the Navy, hitting Green Bull in the shoulder and chest!

Blood splattered everywhere!

Green Bull's body quickly recovered, and he controlled Tree Spirit to face Lucky Roux!

next moment!

A sense of impending death sent a chill down Green Bull's spine!

When Green Bull looked over instinctively, he saw Yasopp, the sniper of the Red-Haired Pirates, aiming a gun at him. A Seastone bullet coated with Armament Haki was flying toward his forehead!

"!!!"

Fujitora was startled and stomped his foot on the ground!

As Fujitora's ability was activated instantly, the gravity immediately increased significantly, and the bullet was twisted in direction by gravity, hitting Green Bull in the chest!

Green Bull's body flew backward!

Yasopp, looking at his spoils, couldn't help but chuckle slightly: "This vice admiral seems a bit incompetent..."

only…

After Yasopp finished laughing, his gaze fell on Fujitora, the seemingly blind vice admiral who was already wielding a cane and sword and fighting against the Red-Haired Pirates.

"This guy..."

Yasopp shook his head and sighed.

In terms of Observation Haki alone, Vice Admiral Fujitora is quite perceptive, even reacting the instant his gun was drawn!

After thinking for a second, Yasopp raised his sniper rifle again and fired a shot in Fujitora's direction!

however…

Fujitora's Observation Haki is exceptionally powerful!

The vice admiral brandished his cane-sword, forcing back a pirate and instantly altering the surrounding gravity. He slightly tilted his head, dodging a sniper bullet!

"Soldier against soldier, general against general."

Ben Beckman surveyed the battle and found that the naval officers and pirate crews were already engaged in close combat. However, everyone was quite strong, and the fight was quite intense.

But...

The Red-Haired Pirates clearly have the advantage. They are known as the most balanced pirate crew on the sea, with extremely high average bounties for their members. Almost every crew member who can join the crew possesses formidable strength!

however…

The tide of battle quickly turned.

Aokiji, who had been standing on the execution platform, seemed to be getting restless.

This Marine Admiral chose to hand over command to Akihara Kagura, then leaped off the execution platform, instantly freezing every pirate he saw!

"Hello!"

Ben Beckman leaped into the air, charging straight towards Aokiji, raising his gun to block the Marine Admiral who was wreaking havoc among the pirates: "Aokiji, isn't the Marine Admiral making a move a bit too early?"

"..."

Aokiji remained silent.

The admiral produced an ice blade, coated with a layer of jet-black Armament Haki, and silently confronted the red-haired man in front of him.

no way…

If he doesn't take action...

The Navy is finding it difficult to resist the Red-Haired Pirates.

After all, of the three vice admirals, Fujitora and Green Bull have taken action one after the other. Fujitora's performance has been quite good, and he is currently still dealing with the Red-Haired Pirates...

As for Green Bull…

This lieutenant general is a complete waste. Despite possessing a powerful Logia-type Devil Fruit, he was nearly killed by a sniper...

"I thought the lieutenant general on the execution platform would make the first move..."

Ben Beckman seemed to sigh with some regret, and slowly said, "But with you here, who can stop Shanks?"

next moment!

A figure leaped into the air with lightning speed!

Red-haired Shanks charged straight toward the execution platform!

however…

A robust, aged figure swung his fist at the red-haired man, smashing it into the red-haired man's rapier and stopping the sea emperor from the execution platform!

"Lieutenant General Garp..."

Shanks frowned.

At this point, shouldn't it be Garp who's stopping him?

"That damn redhead..."

Garp's eyes were gloomy, his fist was covered with a layer of black Armament Haki, the muscles on his arm trembled incessantly, and the blue and red veins on it quivered!

"If it weren't for you, you bastard, Luffy wouldn't have set sail..."

"..."

Red-haired Shanks fell silent.

"I don't want to see my grandson die here..."

Garp clenched his fists, staring at Shanks like a heavy mountain: "But... I am a Marine."

"Lieutenant General Garp!"

A group of sailors looked at the veteran with tears in their eyes.

"This is really troublesome..."

Red-Haired Shanks shook his head and sighed, raising his rapier once more. His eyes turned serious: "I never imagined I'd actually be fighting Captain Roger's old rival..."

"Grandpa... Shanks..."

Luffy knelt on the execution platform, looking at them with some astonishment.

one's own family...

The man I respect most...

Is a duel really going to take place here?

"Hey, Shanks, leave me alone."

Luffy gritted his teeth and roared loudly.

"Luffy".

Red-haired Shanks raised his rapier and pointed it at Garp, the veteran naval officer: "This is no longer something you can decide."

Compared to them...

Right now, Luffy is really just a child who hasn't grown up yet.

the other side.

Marineford.

Just as the battle on Enies Lobby was escalating, Marineford's warships were in position, and Fleet Admiral Sengoku the Buddha was personally leading reinforcements to Enies Lobby to provide support.

however…

A Den Den Mushi (snail phone) disrupted Sengoku's plans.

The Blackbeard Pirates infiltrated Impel Down and wreaked havoc. The Revolutionary Army seized the opportunity to storm Impel Down, and Spandam and the CP0 agents were killed by Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army. Many powerful pirates escaped from Impel Down in the chaos…

correct.

That reader who commented on Deep Blue's skill point allocation...

Gunda gave me a signature and also added the comment you posted...

I'm taking Morning Star's class tomorrow...

I have absolutely no clue how to do the assignment…

This class made me feel like writing about Naruto is even more fun... Do you guys have any topics you'd like to see covered? Give me some suggestions...

At least do your homework...
