Men Are All No Good

"Great! I'll go tell everyone this good news right away!" Annie couldn't wait to share the good news with others.

"Wait a minute!" Drake called out to Annie. "Contact Whitebeard and do him a favor. Tell him we'll also go to Marineford to help him rescue Ace."

"Hehe, Big Sister is really cunning. She did this favor flawlessly," Annie chuckled.

Drake dismissively said, "On the high seas, it's not just about force, but also about wisdom."

"She truly lives up to her reputation as the boss!" Annie laughed and ran off.

A short while later, a man with a full beard and slanted eyes came looking for Drake.

"Big Sister..."

"What's wrong, Blackbeard? You look so worried and hesitant. This isn't like you."

The newcomer was none other than Edward Teach, the Blackbeard.

Blackbeard asked, "I heard you've found a way back to Chaldea?"

"Yeah, don't you want to go back?" Drake asked curiously.

"Of course not, there are no pretty girls here, I can't wait to fly back."

Blackbeard immediately denied it, then said somewhat awkwardly, "But could we take out Blackbeard before we go back?"

Drake stared at him, mouth agape. "You're going to kill yourself? Then jump into the sea!"

Blackbeard hurriedly explained, "I was talking about Blackbeard, no, I was talking about Marshall D. Teach!"

"That guy has the same name and nickname as me, and he does all sorts of awful things. He's completely ruined my image!"

Drake calmly looked Blackbeard up and down, then asked seriously, "Do you have any image to maintain?"

"Why wouldn't I have!" Blackbeard immediately became agitated, saying angrily, "Even if you're the Francis Drake now, you can't slander me like this!"

"Alright, alright, everyone in Chaldea knows who you are, Blackbeard."

Drake rolled his eyes. "If we run into him, we'll take him down. If he hides, that's fine. We don't have time to search the whole world for him; that's the Whitebeard Pirates' job."

Blackbeard walked away dejectedly, hoping to run into Marshall D. Teach, whom he had been annoyed with for a long time.

Blackbeard couldn't stand that someone so ugly was still using his name; he was a famous handsome guy in Chaldea.

The Golden Deer sped towards Marineford, while the Whitebeard Pirates' ship had already set sail.

They set off for Marineford to rescue Ace as soon as they received the news.

"Dad, Francis Drake Drake has sent word that she's willing to help us go to Marineford rescue Ace!"

The captain of the Whitebeard Pirates excitedly ran over to tell Whitebeard the news, because at this time, every bit of strength they had increased their chances of rescuing Ace.

"Oh ho ho!" the Whitebeard laughed loudly, "Thank her for me!"

Edward Newgate, the Whitebeard man, gazed into the distance. "That the Woman Who Shot Down the Sun will come to help. Whatever the reason, she's my friend, Whitebeard!"

He spread his arms wide and shouted, "Kids, let's go to Marineford and cause a ruckus to bring Ace back!"

"Bring Ace back!!!" "Bring Ace back!!!" "Bring Ace back!!!"

Meanwhile, Musashi and Kuina were on their way.

"Master, is it really okay for you to portray your situation as so dangerous?"

When Musashi contacted Da Vinci just now, he didn't try to hide it from Kuina, and every word he said reached Kuina ears.

Musashi first cried out for help, then exaggeratedly described his opponent's strength, going to great lengths to overstate it, to the point that even Kuina couldn't bear to listen.

"Concentrate!" Musashi reprimanded sternly. "This is not your concern. Your mission is to defeat Mihawk!"

Musashi sighed and said, "If I don't exaggerate a little, that person won't believe it. Don't let her childlike appearance fool you; she's smarter than anyone else."

However, no matter what Musashi said, Da Vinci would not believe that she was really in danger.

How could the carefree Miyamoto Musashi possibly fool the exceptionally intelligent Da Vinci? Only Musashi himself believed he could.

On the surface, Da Vinci said with great concern: I will definitely send someone to help you as soon as possible.

In fact, she hummed a little tune as soon as she hung up the call, not taking it to heart at all. She even had time to go to the cafeteria and have a delicious meal before contacting Yuxian.

"In danger? Hmph! Don't even think about fooling a genius beauty like me!"

If it weren't for seeing Yuxian enjoying her wonderful life while she had to work overtime to guard Chaldea, she wouldn't want to pay any attention to Musashi.

"They're all bad people! Especially that doctor guy, how dare he not come back to help me, he'll get what's coming to him sooner or later!"

"Working night shifts all the time has made my skin rough."

Da Vinci touched his face in self-pity, "It's all the Master's fault!"

She blamed all the mistakes on Yuxian and secretly wrote down Yuxian name in a notebook, planning to get revenge later.

"You've offended Da Vinci, you're doomed!"

Chapter 423, Section 4: Men are all bad.

The execution of Ace was broadcast live to the world, with the Fleet Admiral and all the Admirals present.

Such a scene is truly spectacular.

Marineford was completely surrounded by hundreds of thousands of navy personnel, demonstrating the navy's formidable strength to the public.

All seven Warlords of the Sea were present.

Hancock, the Pirate Empress, originally did not plan to come, but because she was covering Luffy's entry into the area, she decided to accept the summons and participate in this major event.

She stood on one side of the platform, with a small figure beside her.

The black cloak had a one-piece hood with two small, pointed, ear-like protrusions on the head, and an eye-shaped pattern on the forehead of the hood.

Purple hair peeked playfully out from under the hood.

Her tiny body was dressed up so cutely, echoing the beauty of Hancock, that it was hard not to take a second look.

"Why did you help that person?" Anna asked Hancock softly, expressing her incomprehension of Hancock's actions in helping Luffy.

This matter is clearly of no benefit to the Amazonian lily kingdom.

"Luffy..."

Hancock blushed slightly as she softly called Luffy's name; she had a special feeling for Luffy.

"Is it because you can't petrify him?" Anna continued to ask. "I can help you petrify him."

"No..." Hancock gently shook her head, "Luffy is different from everyone else, the way he looks at me is different from everyone else..."

"Tch!" Anna spat lightly. "Men are all the same, you must have been fooled by him!"

Hancock smiled slightly upon hearing this, recalling when Anna had just found her.

Anna shouted, "Where is the Queen of the Amazons?" but when she loudly proclaimed that she was the Queen herself, the two got into a fight.

Perhaps because they had a lot in common, the two eventually became friends.

"Anna, you're too young to understand these things," Hancock said with a chuckle.

"I'm not small!" Anna was very Hancock treated her like a child.

But her behavior was just the sulking of a child; adults wouldn't care what others say.

"Are you really going to save that person's brother?"

Anna glanced at Ace on the execution platform, then at the countless Marines, and said with a worried expression, "This is probably going to be difficult..."

Hancock asked, "Is Anna scared?"

"I'm not afraid of you. I'm afraid you'll be deceived and end up dragging your own country down with you."

Having lived in the Amazonian kingdom for so long and having a great fondness for its people, Anna didn't want them to suffer any harm because of Hancock's capriciousness.

"I know what I'm doing..." Hancock frowned, clearly showing how much she cared about her country.

Even with her brows furrowed, Hancock's charm remains undiminished; she truly deserves to be called the most beautiful pirate empress on the high seas.

"They're here!"

Hancock smiled.

"What's coming?" Anna asked curiously, not understanding what Hancock was talking about.

"The strongest man on the sea, Whitebeard!" Hancock emphasized Whitebeard's name, clearly acknowledging him as a true powerhouse.

"Is he crazy? Trying to save someone in this situation is just suicide!" Anna couldn't understand why anyone would do this. Was Ace really that important?

"Because he would never abandon any of his comrades!" Hancock explained. "That man has both that strength and that charisma."

Anna stood there, stunned. She looked at Ace on the execution platform and couldn't help but wonder if someone would come to save her if she were there.

She's been here so long, and I haven't seen a soul in sight. She must have been forgotten.

"No man is any good!" Anna reiterated this conclusion.

Boom!

Marineford was breached by pirate ships, and Whitebeard and his 43 pirate crews stormed into Marineford, the Marine Headquarters.

War is imminent.

"Ace —!!!"

Whitebeard shouted Ace's name loudly; he had come to take his child, and no one could stop him, not even the Navy.

This Four Emperors of the New World, the strongest man on the sea, never abandons any of his companions; they are all his children.

Whitebeard's arrival put everyone on high alert; no one could underestimate Whitebeard.

Even in his old age, Whitebeard's reputation as the strongest man on the sea remains unshakable in everyone's hearts.

With war about to begin, Fleet Admiral Sengoku ordered the live broadcast to be cut off.

The Marine Admiral all stood up, ready to fight.

Among the Whitebeard Pirates, there are two special individuals who do not belong to the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Master, we'll be mistaken for Whitebeard's accomplices if we do this." Kuina was very worried. They had their own ship, but somehow it capsized again, and now they were on Whitebeard's ship.

"Don't worry about the details, we've arrived at our destination, haven't we? The result is the same!" Musashi's carefree words gave Kuina a headache.

She quickly composed herself, her aura hardening. Kuina hadn't forgotten her goal; she spotted Hawkeye Mihawk across from her.

Brush!

The two figures were faster than anyone else in the Whitebeard Pirates.

Kuina, holding a long sword in one hand and resting the other on the hilt, charged straight at Mihawk.

Her eyes were now fixed solely on Mihawk, and her concentration was unparalleled at that moment.

With Miyamoto Musashi by her side, anyone who dared to interfere with Kuina was blocked by her, and no one could disturb her disciple's challenge for the title of the world's greatest swordsman.

Mihawk saw Kuina rushing towards him, but his expression remained unchanged.

"You're the person Shanks was talking about, aren't you?"

He had clearly received word from Shanks that Kuina would be coming to challenge him.

He and Shanks are close friends, Shanks had already informed him of this information.

As the world's greatest swordsman, Mihawk never refuses a challenge.

Black Blade Night was instantly drawn, and a slash was unleashed.

Clang!

Kuina also quickly drew Wado Ichimonji, clashing it against the Black Blade Night. The crisp sound even drowned out the clamor of countless pirates and marines in the arena.

The two sides are evenly matched!

Although it was just a very ordinary attack from Mihawk, the fact that Kuina was able to hold her own against him immediately made Mihawk take her seriously.
