Bang...
As they were speaking, Akainu's magma struck, and just as it was about to incinerate Koby, a Shadow Flash, drawing a long sword with one hand to block the fatal blow for him.
The Magma Fist stopped abruptly. The terrifying temperature and heat made Koby and Shanks, who were closest to Akainu, feel the volcanic heat wave, and the hot air instantly spread throughout the entire area.
Thump...
"Stop, it's stopped!!"
Koby was so frightened by the punch that he fell to the ground. Looking at the person in front of him who had blocked Admiral Akainu's attack with just one sword, he trembled and said in disbelief.
"Hey!! That, that person is... Red-Haired Shanks!!"
Everyone was shocked. They hadn't expected that he, who had made some unusual moves not long ago and had gone to Kaido's camp to stop the restless Whitebeard who wanted to fight him again, would appear here so soon. They couldn't help but feel shocked and excited.
"Young Marine, you did a great job. Although it was only for a few seconds, it will greatly change the fate of the entire world, no matter the outcome."
As he spoke, Akainu across from him slowly withdrew his hand and looked at him with a serious expression. After Shanks finished speaking, he sheathed his sword, walked to the Straw Hat that Luffy had left behind, picked it up, stood still, and scanned the entire scene before speaking.
"I'm here to end this war!!"
Shanks calmly stated the purpose of his visit, his composed words resonating throughout the room.
"Eh!!"
Hearing his words, everyone was greatly shocked, and they all looked at him questioningly.
" Red Hair, you bastard!!"
"The man who led Luffy onto the path of piracy, that brat Red-Haired Shanks was once on Roger's ship!!"
Sengoku and Garp were closely watching his every move. Although they were deeply moved when they heard him say that he was coming to end the war, they said nothing.
"That Red Hair bastard, he actually...!"
Initially, the Three Admirals were indeed held back by the Red Hair Pirates, but after being reminded by Akainu's Wrath shouts, Aokiji and Kizaru reacted immediately, using their freezing abilities and laser beams to try and stop Luffy and his crew. After a short chase, they finally stopped.
Meanwhile, Luffy and his crew had already been rescued by Law and his group, who were also Supernovas. As the submarine sailed out of the area, others, such as Impel Down prisoners Iva and Rayleigh, who had been caught off guard and caused a tragic outcome, glanced at Shanks who was present, nodded without saying anything, and followed after Luffy and his crew, preparing to protect them closely and ensure their safe escape.
Another Red had just emerged from the abyss with a dark expression, glanced at it and walked back without saying a word.
Ta-da-ta-da...
Meanwhile, Hawk-Eye, also a member of the Shichibukai, saw that it was his acquaintance Shanks who had arrived. He didn't say anything either, and walked out with his Black Blade on his back.
"Hey, wait a minute, Hawk-Eye, where do you think you're going?"
Seeing his strange behavior, a navy officer behind him asked him a question.
"The war with the Whitebeard Pirates is over, and I've done everything I promised you. As for dealing with Red Hair, that wasn't part of the agreement, so there's no need for me to stay here any longer..."
When asked by the people behind him, Hawk-Eye paused for a moment before speaking, and then walked out without waiting for their agreement.
"Continuing this war will only increase casualties on both sides. If anyone hasn't had enough, then come fight us!"
Red Hair's companions gathered around him, and then, as the captain, he stepped forward and addressed everyone.
"How about it, Teach? Still want to fight?"
As he spoke, Red Hair looked at Teach's side, the biggest beneficiaries of the war, and said to him in a questioning tone.
"Hahaha, that's really Haki, Shanks! It suits that scar on your face perfectly!!"
When Shanks questioned him so bluntly, Teach was first taken aback, then chuckled.
Click click...
Upon hearing that their captain seemed to have been insulted, Shanks ' companions immediately drew their weapons and pointed them at Blackbeard's crew, and almost at the same moment, they also drew their guns and pointed them at the other side.
"Hahaha, whatever, we've already achieved our goal. There's no point in fighting you now; it's all too early..."
Teach's voice made his men put away their weapons and turn to leave with him.
Shanks continued speaking to the remaining Marines and Whitebeard's remnants who had stopped fighting, in a consultative tone.
The entire war came to a close with the personal decision of the Sengoku.
The greatest war between the Navy and pirates since the Great Pirate Era, a war held atop Marineford and later hailed as the pinnacle, has come to a complete end, leaving a glorious and brilliant mark on the history of the world.
With the end of the war, the biggest results of this duel were reported throughout the world by journalists. Almost all the ambitious individuals who had been itching to make a move were restless because of Whitebeard's dying announcement, and they were about to stir up even greater waves on the sea. Among them were the other Supernovas from Sabaody Archipelago who had escaped from Kizaru's clutches, and Hawkins and his two companions who had just left the battlefield.
"Alright, the other Shichibukai have already left, so there's no need for me to stay any longer. I'm off..."
Seeing that Hawk-Eye and the others were also leaving the battlefield one after another, Luo Chen informed Momousagi and then left directly.
Unbeknownst to him, a graceful figure scanned the battlefield a few times before spotting him. Her owner seemed momentarily shaken before following him.
At the Marineford Plaza, Sengoku, as Fleet Admiral, ordered the pursuit to cease and instructed the wounded and fallen soldiers to be gathered up. The remains of Whitebeard and Ace were handed over to Red Hair for disposal. Under the watchful eyes of both sides, the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, with tears in their eyes, welcomed their Pops, Ace, and many of their fallen comrades back to the New World to find a place to bury them.
Turning to Luo Chen, as he was traveling from Marineford Luo Chen the docked warship, his brow suddenly twitched, he stopped, turned around to look at the corner behind him, and spoke.
"Who is it? They've followed me all the way here. Are they planning to ambush me?"
Luo Chen stared intently at the corner where he couldn't see anyone clearly, trying to figure out who might be following him.
Tap... Tap... Tap...
Just after Luo Chen spoke, the person on the other side seemed to have given themselves away, so they stopped hiding their footsteps and slowly approached him with the sound of high heels.
"Hmm, the sound of high heels... Could it be Doflamingo? Did the government order my execution?"
Upon hearing what sounded like high heels, Luo Chen frowned immediately. He racked his brain, trying to recall who else might be wearing high heels and daring to follow him, besides the mysterious CP0 member he didn't recognize, but Doflamingo, with whom he had argued in the conference room. He immediately became alert and prepared for battle.
Unfortunately, Luo Chen didn't think about other possibilities. Among the Shichibukai, there was also a woman who wore high heels and whose strength was no less than his. Boa Hancock, the world's most beautiful woman, was one of them. As he was trying to guess who might appear, a long, slender, and fair leg suddenly came into view. Then, a graceful and stunningly beautiful woman appeared in front of him.
"Huh?! It's you, Boa Hancock, one of the Shichibukai Pirate Empress!!"
Upon seeing the person's face clearly, Luo Chen couldn't help but speak in surprise.
