General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 399 Whitebeard and Shanks

As the sun rose and the moon set, the war that took place on the G1 island was fought in darkness, and the roaring sound resounded throughout the sea, never stopping for a moment.

Far away on the sea three or four kilometers away from the G1 island, the huge Moby Dick stood quietly on the thick ice.

The tall man with white beard stood on the bow of the spacious deck, quietly looking at the flickering island in the distance, his pupils reflecting the light of thunder and fire coming from the distant island.

The war still started.

Whitebeard had actually predicted this huge war that would affect the direction of the entire world before it even started.

Even if you don't agree to the Golden Lion and form an alliance with him, with the Golden Lion's behavior, you will definitely carry out what you decide to do.

That guy has always been the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to do great things.

Since Roger's death, the sea of ​​the New World has indeed been silent for a long time.

Even Kaido and Lingling couldn't restrain their loneliness. After a brief suggestion by the Golden Lion, they chose to send troops.

The naval base in the New World has continued to grow and develop over the years, and it has indeed posed a certain degree of threat to the big pirates like them who are entrenched here.

Listening to the constant roaring in the distance and the strong vibrations passing through the air, Marco, who was standing aside, couldn't help but look at his father.

"Dad, what do you think the final outcome of this war will be?"

Whitebeard was silent for a while, then shook his head slightly, "It's hard to say, but the casualties on both sides will definitely be extremely serious. Whether it's Shiki and Kaido's pirate alliance, or the navy, there will be a lot of manpower losses."

Marco pondered for a moment and whispered: "Dad, do you think any top strong man will die in this war this time?"

Whitebeard knew who Marco was referring to.

Kaido, Golden Lion, Charlotte Lingling, Kizaru, Akainu, Aokiji, Garp, and Zefa and Sengoku who will come later.

Only these people can be called top experts.

Even someone like Wang Zhi cannot reach this level.

Each of them is a strong man standing at the top of the world, and every move he makes can attract the attention of countless people.

Many times, major events that happen on the sea often have their shadows.

Both personal strength and influence have reached a level that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.

No matter which one of them dies, it will bring a huge shock to the world.

However, how can a strong man die in battle so easily?
When their strength reaches the level of Kaido and Akainu, even if there is a real life-and-death battle, there will be no victory or defeat without ten or eight days.

Even the sick Zefa and the Golden Lion, no matter how weak they are, are still top-notch.

Where is the foundation of domineering, physical skills, and swordsmanship?

Seeing that his father didn't answer, Marco stopped asking any more questions and stood quietly.

Behind him, the deck of the Moby Dick was empty, with not many people.

They came here this time just because their father, Whitebeard, wanted to watch the battle and had no intention of participating in the war.

Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, the Whitebeard Pirates only brought a dozen division captains and other main members.

This place is 1 meters away from G4000 Island San. It is impossible to see clearly the battle taking place on the island with the naked eye.

If you want to know what is happening over there, you can only use the Haki of seeing and hearing to sense something.

Among the dozen or so people present, except for Whitebeard and Marco, the other thirteen division captains, including Diamond Jozi, could not accurately perceive the specific situation on the island.

After all, the various energy fluctuations caused by the fierce confrontation there were too violent, and there were too many people participating in the battle, which greatly interfered with the perception of Haki.

In fact, even Marco can only perceive it roughly.

Marco watched for a while, and suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a dark figure standing on the side of the Moby-Dick.

Marco was startled, turned around and walked over.

"Ace, are you paying close attention to this war? Is there someone you know there?"

Seeing Ace's somewhat absent-minded look, Marco couldn't help but asked curiously.

Ace didn't answer. What came to mind was Garp's smiling face and the navy boy named Rorschach whom he met in Demon Valley Town and Sky Island.

He is not as domineering as Marco, and cannot sense where Garp and Rorschach are.

But the voices of Garp and Rorschach were transmitted here like rolling thunder.

Ace did not expect that not long after he entered the new world, such a big war would break out in this sea.

The competition in this sea was more cruel than he imagined.

Thinking of the power of Kaido, Charlotte Lingling, Golden Lion and others, Ace couldn't help but worry about Garp.

Don't let anything happen to that stubborn old man.

Otherwise, I will definitely die of guilt.

For some reason, Ace at this moment recalled what the navy boy said to him in Demon Valley Town and Sky Island.

"I hope you won't regret the decision you made today."

"Do you regret it?"

Ace looked at the loud noises and bright lights coming from the distance from time to time, his thoughts swirling in his mind.

Seeing that Ace didn't respond to his intention, Marco didn't mind. He smiled gently and was about to go to the cabin to move a chair out for Whitebeard to sit on.

But at this moment, his expression suddenly became cold, and he suddenly looked towards the dark sea behind the Moby Dick.

Over there, on the frozen ice, a figure with flying robes appeared out of nowhere.

Marco looked at it carefully, his heart was shocked, and he couldn't help blurting out.

"Red hair!"

Hearing the word "red hair" from Marco's mouth, Ace came back to his senses and followed Marco's gaze, but there was no one on the ice.

But the next moment, on the bow of the Moby Dick, on the deck next to Whitebeard, a red-haired, one-armed man suddenly appeared out of thin air.

"Is he the red-haired Shanks? Luffy's benefactor." Ace's eyes narrowed.

At this moment, Jozi and other division captains who were staying in various parts of the ship were also alerted by Shanks' arrival. They jumped out one after another and swarmed behind Whitebeard.

Marco was the first to fly to Whitebeard's side, frowning and looking at Shanks.

"Redhead, what are you doing here?"

"Huh? It's Marco, haha, do you want to come to my ship?" Shanks smiled when he saw Marco.

"Don't be ridiculous redhead." Marco rolled his eyes.This guy Shanks always says this every time he comes to their Moby Dick.

It's really persistent.

"Gla la la la, poach people in front of me, kid, you are just as annoying as that bastard Roger."

Whitebeard turned around and looked down.

"Haha, I can't compare with Captain Roger."

Shanks smiled, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Ace, who was standing behind the captains.

A trace of surprise flashed deep in his eyes, and then he looked at Whitebeard and said solemnly: "Whitebeard, I came here this time to stop this war with you."

"Redhead, you want to stop this war?" Marco and others were surprised.

There was no surprise on Whitebeard's face, as if he had already guessed the purpose of Shanks' arrival.

Shanks nodded.

"Yes, the scale of this war is too large, and the casualties it has caused are unbearable for the world. No matter which side wins in the end, it will bring unpredictable results to this era. And no matter what the result is, Never a good thing.”

"Why? Isn't it a good thing for us pirates that the navy is driven out of the new world?" Lacjo asked doubtfully.

Shanks shook his head, "On the surface, the Navy was driven out of the New World by Kaido and the others, and it seems that they are indeed very friendly to the pirates in the New World. But don't forget what kind of characters Kaido and Charlotte Lingling are. Once Their pirate alliance has won the final victory, and the territory of the new world will have to be re-divided. Stimulated by the huge prestige brought by this victory, those pirate forces in the new world that were originally hesitant might join them. Under his command. Think about it, will the new world be as peaceful as before?"

"And Wang Zhi, he will definitely gather a large number of pirates and become the fifth sea emperor in the new world. Not to mention the Golden Lion, what kind of temperament does that guy have, Whitebeard, you don't know, right? "

Shanks said and sighed: "If the Golden Lions win, then this war will never be the last one. It will be the beginning of the next wars that will sweep the world. Think about it. , how many innocent people will die as a result."

The crowd fell silent.

Indeed, Shanks was right.

In the perception of Marco and others, Kaido and Charlotte Lingling are indeed the kind of people who are somewhat willful in character and unscrupulous in style.

"So...what if the Navy wins?" Joz interjected.

"If the Navy wins, then this era of great pirates that has not yet fully bloomed will turn into a ball of smoke and disappear. They will gain unparalleled confidence and reputation by defeating the coalition of several great pirate groups. By then, the Navy will The branch bases of the New World will be spread out in various kingdoms and sea areas of the New World in multiples and dozens of times."

Shanks looked sideways at G1 and said in a low voice: "The soap bubble coating technology of the Shampoo Islands has been blocked by the navy. It has become extremely difficult for pirates to enter the new world from the paradise. If the new world is connected in the future The world has become dominated by the navy, and without the follow-up blood replenishment, we may be wiped out one by one by the growing navy."

His eyes swept across the faces of the captains with changing expressions, and then he looked up at Whitebeard.

"So, before the situation develops to that extent, we must stop it as soon as possible..."

"Do you think... you can stop them from continuing to fight now?"

Whitebeard looked at G1 in the dark.

Shanks followed his gaze, and the powerful Haki of Seeing and Hearing in his body swept across an area of ​​dozens of kilometers in an instant, giving him a panoramic view of everything that happened on the entire G1 island.

Just after checking it, his expression changed.

"This……"

Whitebeard sighed, and an old voice sounded on the deck.

"It's useless. No matter who tries to persuade them to make peace now, they will be torn apart by the furious parties. For two days and three nights, too many people have died in this war."

"And, as expected, a large naval force is about to arrive."

At the top of the Red Continent, Marie Joa's Hall of Power.

The five old stars sat around the table with the world map, frowning and looking at the location of the G1 island marked with a red cross. They still could not make up their mind to press the strike button of the Virgin Flame.

"How is the war situation in the New World?" Saint Satan crossed his hands and said solemnly, holding the crutch in his hand.

"There is no contact, and the phone bug that called has no signal. It can be imagined that there must be various energies raging on that island now, interfering with the communication band of the phone bug, making us lose our judgment." Saint Nashou Lang looked at He held the knife in his hand and pushed up his glasses.

"What did the CP0 sent there say?" Saint Peter rubbed the world map with his fingers and looked at Saint Satan.

"They can't get close to the main battlefield. Now G1 has become a purgatory. The pirate troops have all withdrawn from the island. Those weak ones can't interfere in the battle between Golden Lion and Akainu. Huh, let's see. , even if we don’t use the Holy Mother’s Flame, the island will almost be sunk.”

"What a bunch of trash!"

Peter was so angry that black flames burst out of his head.

At this moment, an unusually majestic and burly figure rushed in from outside the hall of power.

Behind that man, there were several Holy Land Guardian Knights in armor. They were sweating profusely and tried to stop him, but were left behind by the man.

Seeing the person rushing in front of him, Saint Satan frowned and shouted: "Song! What are you doing? Who let you break into the hall of power without being summoned?"

In front of several people, the old man with an extremely majestic figure, two thick arms, a large cloak, and a cockscomb was none other than the commander-in-chief of the World Government's armed forces, Steel Bone Kong.

Kong, who broke in, saw the world map on the table in front of Wu Laoxing and the G1 island marked with a red X on the map, and his expression changed instantly.

"Wulao Xing! You don't really want to use the Virgin's Flame to hit G1, do you?"

"Song! This is not something you should worry about..." Saint Satan tapped his cane.

"I don't care who does!"

Unexpectedly, Sora interrupted him directly, and said loudly with a voice as loud as rolling thunder: "I am the commander-in-chief of the armed forces! The navy is responsible for maintaining the peace of the major alliance countries around the world. Don't you know that the current G1 island , how many outstanding naval generals are there who bear justice? Garp, Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, Gion, Kaki, Rorschach, they are all here!"

Sora was a little excited, and even his majestic body was trembling.

"If you activate the Holy Mother's Flame to strike, if they die as a result, the Navy will suffer unprecedented losses. At that time, who will maintain the justice of this world? Is it possible that you, sir, will end up personally?"

"presumptuous!"

There was a loud bang, and Saint Nashoulang slapped his hand on the table in front of him.

The terrifying power made a three- to four-inch deep palm print on the thick tabletop made of unknown metal.

In the sunken palm print, there are still deep black flames burning and dancing.

This huge sound frightened several Holy Land guards in the hall to kneel down and tremble all over.

Saint Nashouro stared at Sora with cold eyes and said coldly: "It's not your turn to give us advice on what we should do. Sora! Do your job well."

Seeing Wu Laoxing's indifference, a trace of sadness flashed deep in Kong's eyes.

This cold regime really made him feel suffocated.

Perhaps feeling the change in Kong's mood, Saint Satan coughed and said in a deep voice: "Kong, don't worry, we are just in case, the Virgin Flame attack is just the worst plan. Aren't they already over the Warring States period? Well, I think there will be news soon. Well, if you are worried, just wait here."

Saint Satan just said it casually.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Kong, the dignified commander-in-chief of the armed forces, lift up his cloak and actually sit down on the floor of the hall next to them, quietly looking at the world map in front of them and saying nothing.
