Konoha's Mission Master

Garp emerged from the Mist Burial once again. Although he had no wounds on his body, his eyes betrayed his exhaustion. The enemy's words tore at his soul like a file.

In front of Garp were five identical clouds of mist. This mist was extremely troublesome, not only suppressing the body's reaction speed in many ways, but also interfering with Observation Haki. Now he could no longer determine which cloud of mist contained Ace.

Garp thought to himself... He'd lost.

But he still chose to rush into a cloud of fog, after all, he didn't want to be impeached by his old friend for slacking off.

Sengoku also recognized his failure. He wanted to use Ace to lure out Whitebeard and directly defeat the Whitebeard Pirates. He believed that the New World would fall into chaos, and the Navy could then forcefully enter and tear away territory from those vicious pirates to establish naval bases.

This was also the Five Elders' intention. They even knew that, in order to better achieve their goal, the Five Elders' direct CP department had contacted the Beasts Pirates a few days ago and promised them great rewards to block the Red-Haired Pirates from coming to their aid in the New World.

This was the Navy's biggest plan in ten years, concerning the future landscape of the New World, and it could not be lost. Unfortunately, he overestimated the credibility of the Beasts Pirates. They did indeed have a major battle with the Red-Haired Pirates, but it only lasted for an hour. At the same time, he underestimated Whitebeard's fighting strength.

Sengoku still can't understand why Whitebeard suddenly possessed such formidable power!

"fire punch!"

Ace, having freed himself from the Seastone, unleashed a fiery punch of extremely high temperature at the Marine camp, howling wildly as he declared his regained freedom. However, his pale face betrayed the fact that he was outwardly strong but inwardly weak.

"Are you out of your mind? So many people went to great lengths to save you, we paid such a high price to get you out of Marineford alive, not to watch you regain your freedom and... be sent to your death again!"

Yakumo's shadow clone bluntly retorted that if it weren't for the game system's mission, he really would have liked to kill Ace on the spot...

"Ahem, sorry... I got a little too excited."

Ace did not show any dissatisfaction despite Yakumo's merciless accusations. Instead, he scratched his head with some guilt. After calming down, he finally understood that the most important thing now was to inform Whitebeard to retreat.

Ace is unaware that Whitebeard has been restored to his former peak condition by Yakumo. In his memory, Whitebeard is still on the verge of collapse at any moment, and whenever he thinks that saving him might be the last battle of his life, his heart aches as if it were being torn apart.

The explosion of Fire Fist made it clear to the entire battlefield that Ace had regained his freedom, and the pirate crews erupted in deafening cheers. They had really done it!

"Those below the captain rank must retreat immediately. Those above the captain rank must stay behind to cover the rear. Sons... it's time to go home!"

Whitebeard roared with great vigor. In fact, he was not in good condition. He was inevitably injured in the face of the attack from Sengoku and Akainu, but fortunately, the problem was not serious!

Ace was about to cover the others' retreat when Yakumo raised his hand to stop him.

"You're in terrible shape right now. You can't even maintain your elemental form for long. Go back to the Moby Dick first. My main body will go to support Whitebeard!"

In the treasure room, Yakumo casually picked up a decent-quality longsword and rejoined the battle to help Whitebeard fight against... Sengoku and Akainu.

With Yakumo's arrival, Whitebeard felt much less pressure and began to consciously observe his surroundings.

The sea surface had been frozen by Aokiji, and pirate ships generally did not have the ability to break the ice to this extent.

We need to break through the ice wall first!

“Five seconds…” Whitebeard said to Yakumo.

"No problem...Leave it to me!"

Whitebeard leaned forward, desperately inhaling the surrounding air, his fists clasped together in front of his chest—a prelude to using the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. His body gradually expanded outward, his massive frame resembling a large bowstring being gradually taut.

"Stop him!"

"Impact Punch!"

"Meteor Volcano!"

Sengoku and Akainu launched a coordinated attack, and the meteor-like lava, propelled by the shockwave, hurtled towards Yakumo and Whitebeard like burning meteors. Even before the attack landed, a terrifying heat wave swept over them, accompanied by a terrifying wind pressure that threatened to crush Yakumo.

"Rebellion Storm!"

Yakumo swiftly swung his sword, forming a large golden cocoon, the outer layer of which was wrapped in a slender golden tornado, protecting Whitebeard within. Yakumo could sense that Whitebeard was gathering a terrifying attack!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The meteorite collided with the tornado and was instantly shattered by the golden blade of energy, scattering towards the ground. However, more meteorites were already falling, and a terrifying explosion came from the point of impact. The golden tornado became shaky and on the verge of collapse.

In the third second, Yakumo spat out a mouthful of blood, a look of madness flashing in his eyes. He began to swing his twin swords even more desperately, pouring Sage Chakra into his weapons as if it were free.

The golden tornado has reappeared!

"Netherhound!"

"Impact Punch!"

The two unleashed another powerful attack. The giant lava hound began to tear apart the golden tornado, and an even more terrifying shockwave descended, as if an invisible wall had crashed down from an extremely high position. Blood spilled from Yakumo's mouth and nose.

But he didn't back down an inch!

The golden tornado shattered, and two terrifying attacks crashed into the golden cocoon. Yakumo swung his twin swords, and the hidden arcs of lightning around him exploded at that moment.

In an instant, Sengoku and Akainu were completely engulfed in a golden sea of ​​lightning before they could even react.

At the same time, Yakumo flew away.

Behind him, Whitebeard's body was like a fully drawn bow, and an extreme sense of oppression emanated from his body and radiated outwards. At this moment, Sengoku and Akainu were trying to expel the tingling current in their bodies.

The next second, the surrounding space shattered like glass, with spiderweb-like cracks appearing. Whitebeard's blood vessels bulged and his heart pounded, pumping blood to every part of his body.

"drink!"

With a deafening roar, Marineford experienced two terrifying tremors, and the previously stilled waves shattered instantly, transforming into ice crystals of varying sizes.

The moment the tremors began, Aokiji, who was locked in combat, vanished from his spot, leaving only a wisp of pale, chilling air. Without hesitation, Marco and Rayleigh rushed toward the Moby Dick, and the other squad captains followed suit, rushing toward the Moby Dick as if their lives depended on it.

"This island might sink."

Yakumo sighed.

Once, Whitebeard and Rayleigh had a great battle, and their combined power sank an island. Actually, the sinking of that island had little to do with Rayleigh; it was mainly caused by Whitebeard's repeated use of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit...

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

The squad leader jumped onto the deck of the Moby Dick, while the other forty-eight pirate crews in the distance accelerated away from Marineford the moment the ice cracked.

"I'm sorry... I've caused everyone trouble."

Ace lowered his head and said with some guilt.

"...We're family, so please don't say such nonsense again," Marco said lazily.

The group stood on the deck, silently gazing at the impending doom of Marineford, as the entire island and city gradually sank into the sea.

Seawater surged from the cracks, washing over the streets of the residential area. The navy flag fluttered with the seawater. Even though Aokiji was trying his best to freeze, his power seemed insignificant in the face of nature.

Bang... Whitebeard jumped aboard the Moby Dick.

"set sail!"

He shouted, but suddenly coughed violently, his lungs throbbing with pain. His final, charged attack had indeed gone a bit too far, but fortunately, the result was very satisfactory.

The Warring States had a plan, and Whitebeard certainly did too. From the moment he first used the Twin Shock, he was planning to sink Marineford. This was not his last battle, and there was no need for the whole process to appear too tragic.

The plan is simple…

Save Ace, sink Marineford, and evacuate!

The three large ships began to operate, and in order to ensure the strongest fighting force, Yakumo began to treat Whitebeard's injuries directly on the deck.

"What is he doing?" Ace asked.

"His main job is as a doctor, and his medical skills are absolutely top-notch in the world. My father wanted him to join the Whitebeard Pirates, but he refused."

Marco answered matter-of-factly.

"He...a doctor?"

Ace was questioning his life at this moment. Today, this doctor had single-handedly defeated the world's strongest swordsman, Hawkeye, and withstood the continuous attacks of Sengoku and Akainu.

"Actually... I didn't expect him to be this strong either."

Marco added with a smile.

Yakumo rose and gazed at the sinking of Marineford.

Until a few more memories surfaced in his mind, the chaos in Mary Geoise had come to an end, and Kizaru was on his way back…

"Killed... fifty-odd people, were they bubble people?"

Suddenly, a giant warship crashed through the waves and chased after the Moby Dick. The white steam billowing from its smokestack was as thick as white soup, and the white seagull flag fluttered in the wind.

"Damn it, are they planning to give chase?!"

"Have these people gone mad?!"

The Whitebeard Pirates also spotted the approaching warship and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"The Five Elders have probably gone mad..." Yakumo murmured.

Marco approached Yakumo thoughtfully and asked in a low voice.

"What did you do in the Holy Land, Mary Geoise?"

"Simply killed a few Celestial Dragons..."

How many?

Marco immediately asked, somewhat nervously.

"About fifty..."

"The Celestial Dragons killed your entire family?"

No, not at all…

"Did the Celestial Dragons kidnap your sister or brother?"

"No, not at all..."

"Then why...did you kill fifty of them?"

"I just don't like them."

Marco instinctively took a half-step back, his pupils dilating and contracting wildly.

"That's it?"

"That's it!"

"You're really ruthless... Compared to you, our rampage in Marineford is just a small fry."

At this moment, Marco began to doubt Whitebeard's motives for helping him. Did he just want to kill a few dozen Celestial Dragons?

"Shameless, disgusting, despicable, and sinful insects. They are such repulsive creatures, yet they always like to boast of their nobility in front of others," Yakumo said calmly.

A massive warship crashed in, its deck occupied by the three admirals of the Navy, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, and Vice Admiral Garp!
