The Woman Who Shot Down the Sun

Meanwhile, Shanks was tied up by Kaido and unable to get to Marineford.

"Kaido, are you really going to stop me?" Shanks squinted at Kaido. As one of the Four Emperors of the New World, his strength was Kaido's.

If the two sides were to go to war, it could go on for who knows how long, by which time the Marineford affair would have already been over.

"Whitebeard wants to save his son, it's none of my business." Kaido naturally also knew about Malinfando. "Whitebeard is dead this time. It's time for the new world to change."

"Hahaha! Kaido, you didn't suffer a setback at Drake's hands last time and lost a lot of territory, so you're in a hurry to take it back, are you?"

Shanks didn't hesitate to expose Kaido's wounds.

"I was wondering why you stopped me instead of Drake. Wasn't she going to Marineford?"

Shanks feigned sudden realization. "So you're afraid of her!"

"I heard that Drake didn't even have to fight you personally, but one of her crew members fought you to a standstill?"

Shanks got more and more excited as he talked, clicking his tongue a few times with a disdainful expression.

Kaido's eyes were cold as he said calmly, "Red-Haired Shanks, you can't get past me just by talking without actually fighting. Aren't you in a hurry?"

Shanks casually tossed his coat aside and stepped forward.

"Then let me have a go at you Kaido of the Beasts!"

A major battle between the two is inevitable.

"Boss, we're almost there. Are we just going to rush in like this?"

Drake glanced at the crew member who had asked the question. "Are we here as guests?"

"Uh..." The crew member who asked the question was speechless. He also felt that his question was a bit stupid. They were obviously here to cause trouble.

Drake shouted, "Everyone, get ready! Speed up and charge in!"

"Oh my! It looks so lively inside." On the top of the sail at the highest point of the Golden Deer, a winged girl was perched.

"Auntie, stop watching the excitement! The attack is about to begin, be careful!"

A younger girl on the deck looked up and called to her; she was her brother's daughter.

"Little Medea, stop fooling around! Do you think I'm going to fall down? If you keep making a fuss, I'll turn you into a pig!"

Circe continued to watch the battle in Marineford with great interest, occasionally shouting and making noise, appearing very engrossed in the scene.

Medea shook her head. Her aunt was indeed a complete Witch, unlike herself at all.

Medea, with her blue ponytail, decided to ignore her. She carefully instructed the other crew members on the ship to prepare for the impact and avoid being injured.

The crew members all adored this lovely and kind young woman. Compared to the Francis Drake, who was more manly than any man, Circe, who loved to play pranks, and Mary, who was indifferent to everyone, Medea was much more popular with the crew.

She not only possesses exceptional healing skills, but also shows great care and consideration for ordinary crew members, making her a beloved and beautiful young woman.

"Francis Drake! The sea ahead is covered by ice; we cannot proceed!"

"Charge!" Drake commanded without changing his expression.

How could a mere layer of ice possibly stop her Golden Deer? Since she was here, she was going to make a grand entrance. Disembarking here and walking over there? That wasn't Drake's style.

Boom!

The Golden Deer did not slow down at all. After encountering the ice layer created by Aokiji, it crashed into it violently, shattering the ice blocks at the edges.

The immense impact caused the crew to stagger, and the Golden Deer slowed down as a result.

With a thud, the entire Golden Deer landed on the ice and continued to glide forward.

"That's it! Charge! Charge! Charge! Charge to the front!"

Circe, on the sail, was eager to see more excitement and kept urging them to go to the very center of the battlefield.

The Golden Deer continued to glide, really rushing towards the very center, its speed showing no signs of slowing down.

Seeing that the suddenly appearing ship was about to crash into the execution platform, Aokiji immediately activated his Devil Fruit ability, creating ice walls one after another to block it.

The Golden Deer finally came to a stop thanks to Aokiji's obstruction.

Drake stepped onto the gunwale and laughed loudly, "Francis Drake is here! Bring out the wine!"

Her voice echoed throughout Marineford.

Francis Drake, one of the Four Emperors of the New World, makes his debut.

Chapter 7, Section 426 the Woman Who Shot Down the Sun

"Francis Drake! Here! Here!"

Yuxian jumped up and tried to wave to attract Drake's attention, but he failed.

Because he was still tied up by Anna and couldn't raise his hands, he was even pulled down by Anna halfway through his jump.

"Don't move! Behave yourself!"

Yuxian awkwardly put on a crying face. As Master, he was probably one of the most unique people to have ever reached this level.

Mash's helpless expression hurt Yuxian even more; even his usually gentle and considerate junior classmate wouldn't help him.

Circe, with the best view, was the first to spot Yuxian and the others. She immediately flew over and landed beside Yuxian.

She looked Yuxian up and down, then said to Anna, "Anna, give him to me."

Anna tossed her head, her expression indifferent, as if she had no feelings at all.

She tightened the chains binding Yuxian, her meaning clear: no discussion.

Circe, having no other recourse against Anna, could only smile and say to Yuxian, "Master, you've offended Anna. Do you need my help?"

"Do you want to fight?" Anna raised her scythe, pointing it at Circe.

Yuxian had no hope of Circe's help; she was already being kind by not causing trouble. She quickly said, "Why are you here?"

Circe's attention was indeed diverted, and she said, "We came as soon as we received Musashi's message. It would be a shame not to come when it's so lively here."

She's another one who thrives on chaos; the Witch's personality is on full display.

Yuxian then asked, "Who are you all with?"

Circe chuckled and said, "You'll have to see for yourself, Master. Anyway, they're all on the ship, so I don't know if they'd be willing to see you."

Yuxian smiled bitterly. He couldn't go anywhere now. Anna wouldn't let him go, so he could only stay by her side.

"Then I'll head back now. Master, please be careful."

Circe finished speaking, he flew back, as if he had just come over for a chat.

Yuxian couldn't help but sigh. The team was getting bigger and bigger, and his situation was becoming more and more difficult.

Drake's arrival immediately put the Navy on edge. Whitebeard was already a challenge for them, and Whitebeard arrival of another figure of equal stature only amplified the pressure.

Sengoku pressured Garp, saying, "Garp, aren't you going to make a move? Are you just going to watch Marineford get sunk?"

Although Garp is only a vice admiral, as Hero of the Marines, his strength is definitely among the top tier. He is the kind of person who was able to push the Pirate King Roger to the brink of defeat several times.

"It hasn't sunk yet, has it?"

Click!

Garp took out a senbei and ate it leisurely, completely unmoved by Sengoku's persuasion.

Luffy and Ace are both his grandsons, so it's impossible to say that Garp has no selfish motives at all.

The fact that he could remain a bystander was already a result of his sense of justice preventing him from taking action; it was definitely impossible for him to do so.

When the children saw that Garp was eating senbei, their eyes lit up and they all ran over.

"Grandpa, we want some too!"

Yuxian, being dragged along by Anna, could only stumble and stagger after her. He called out to Anna, "Slow down, slow down, you're going to fall, you're going to fall!"

"Shut up, I didn't tell you to speak!"

Anna's fierce look immediately shut Yuxian up; it was best not to provoke her at this moment.

The surrounding navy saw Yuxian group all run to Garp's side and immediately surrounded them.

This is near the execution platform, and we're afraid they might do something bad.

Garp laughed and distributed the senbei to the children, saying, "Everyone gets one!"

"Garp!" Sengoku was very dissatisfied with Garp's behavior and loudly rebuked him.

The children were unhappy. Now that Garp was the one who gave them senbei, they clearly categorized him as a good person.

"What's all the noise about! Can't you see we're eating?"

The Sengoku was speechless at the children's words, veins bulging on his forehead, and he tried his best to suppress his anger.

If a dignified Fleet Admiral were to stoop to the level of a child, it would only make him a laughingstock.

Yuxian glanced at Ace on the execution platform and said to Garp, "Is Vice Garp preparing to sacrifice his own family for the greater good?"

Garp's expression changed, and he looked at Ace speechlessly.

Seeing that Garp remained Yuxian, Yu Xian turned his gaze to Sengoku and asked, "Sengoku, are you the highest-ranking official here?"

Sengoku stared at Yuxian, the man bound by chains who looked disheveled, but the fact that everyone around him was protecting him suggested his status.

"What do you want to say?" Sengoku asked in a deep voice.

Yuxian smiled and said, "Look at all these marines and pirates fighting each other. There must be a lot of casualties. That's not good."

"Sacrifice is inevitable in the pursuit of justice."

Yuxian shook his head, sneering inwardly, "To hell with justice!"

But he maintained a calm smile and said to Sengoku, "I don't think those small fry can change the course of the war. Why don't we have a king-to-king, general-to-general battle? Whatever the outcome, that's what we'll do. What do you say?"

"War is not child's play!"

Sengoku ignored Yuxian, wondering what Yuxian would say, but it turned out to be nonsense. He felt that talking to Yuxian was a waste of time.

Yuxian was just saying that casually. Since the Sengoku disregarded this suggestion, there was no need for him to waste his breath on it.

He had originally intended to mitigate the losses for the navy, but now it seemed that Yuxian was meddling in his affairs, so he decided to keep quiet and not say anything more.

"Hahaha! Fine wine is certainly available, but I'm afraid I don't have the leisure to drink with you right now."

Whitebeard was naturally happy to welcome Drake's arrival, as it would greatly reduce his stress.

Drake said, "Life is meaningless if you don't enjoy it, and wealth is just a pile of trash if you don't spend it."

She was a complete hedonist, and she accepted the wine offered by her subordinates and drank it down in large gulps.

She exhaled a heavy breath of alcohol and threw the empty bottle to the ground. "Even if we're going to fight, we should have a good drink beforehand to give us more energy!"

Drake waved his hand and shouted, "Men, it's time for your appearance!"

"Remember my name and die! You terrible Sea Devil, the Woman Who Shot Down the Sun!"

Countless ships appeared behind her; this was the fleet she had commanded in her lifetime. All the ships in the fleet fired their main cannons simultaneously, and the overwhelming firepower covered the entire Marineford.

Fueled by alcohol and madness, Drake showed no regard for others, attacking anyone in her path with indiscriminate, overwhelming force.

Navy personnel and pirates alike began to flee in disarray.

Boom boom boom boom!

The entire Marineford trembled under her gunfire.

Sengoku's face turned grim. Even if it was a necessary sacrifice, this was no way to make one.

His heart sank; Marineford was likely in grave danger today.
