One Piece: Shadow monarch? I'm Just Logistics!

Chapter 206: The Storm Goddess

Rumble!

With a huge sound that echoed throughout the battlefield, the entire Marineford suddenly began to shake violently.

"What's going on!"

The pirates who were in the middle of the battle couldn't help but stop and look around in panic.

Then they discovered that the Marines opposite them had begun to disengage one after another, retreating towards the plaza under the command of their officers.

"Quick, retreat!"

"Back to the plaza!"

A general raised his longsword to the sky and shouted. Only after all the surrounding soldiers had run past him did he sheathe his sword.

Thinking of the plan that was about to be executed, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He turned and followed, charging towards the plaza. "Welcome to hell, you damn pirates!"

As if receiving a unified command, the Marine battle line retreated in perfect unison.

The pirates in the heat of battle couldn't see the situation of the entire battle line. Their fighting spirit was high, and they didn't have too many doubts.

They only felt more excited and proud of the enemy's rout.

"The Marines are scared, hahaha!"

"Now's our chance, brothers!"

"Charge them all at once!"

The cold glint of swords and sabers flashed in a sheet. A fanatical look appeared on the pirates' faces as they raised their swords and guns and chased after them frantically.

The commanders leading the slaughter at the front obviously had a clearer grasp of the battle situation.

Flower Sword Vista, dressed in a formal suit and with a two-pronged mustache, stood still and spoke to a shining, burly man not far away:

"Jozu, something's not right."

"I know."

Jozu nodded at him with a deep voice. "Don't think too much about it. This is a rare opportunity to advance."

Having roamed the seas with Pops for a long time, they naturally realized that the Marines' behavior was somewhat abnormal.

Although they didn't know what tricks the other side had hidden, it was useless to guess here. It was better to take this opportunity to charge into the plaza in one go.

"Whatever the trap is!"

Jozu took the lead and charged out, his eyes firm. "Just smash it!"

And at this moment, the rumbling sound that echoed throughout the battlefield suddenly stopped.

The Marines had almost all retreated from the bay. The pirates followed closely behind like mad dogs, and were about to charge into the plaza!

But!

The encirclement wall that was supposed to immediately block the pirates and trap them had not yet been raised!

"Where's the encirclement wall!!"

Sengoku's heart skipped a beat. He immediately picked up a Den Den Mushi and shouted, "What's going on, Tsuru? Why has the encirclement wall stopped!"

"It's not a problem with the control room, Sengoku."

A helpless voice came from the other side of the Den Den Mushi. "The area below the iron wall must have been infiltrated. The mechanical structure has been destroyed, and the encirclement wall can't be pushed up."

"Without the obstruction of the encirclement wall, the Marines will pay a double price under the pirates' desperate counterattack later!"

Veins popped on Sengoku's forehead, the anger in his heart difficult to suppress.

He had worried that the encirclement wall might not be able to withstand Whitebeard's power, but he had never expected it to become useless due to the destruction of its mechanical structure!

Without the blueprints of Marineford's defensive facilities, how on earth did the enemy manage to infiltrate underground and destroy it with such precision!

The specially made iron wall was indestructible, yet it was completely paralyzed due to the absence of a few power systems and a few small gears.

And the culprit behind all this... goes back to three minutes ago.

Under the plaza, in a cramped tunnel lined with a large number of precise mechanical structures, a raging fire was currently burning.

Perona giggled and waved her hand, sending out a large number of explosive ghosts. "Although I don't understand it, it's right to just blow it all up."

"Ghost Finger Snap - Kamikaze Bomb!!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Horohorohoro~~."

As a spirit, she could walk directly through walls and the ground. Any steel fortress was like nothing to her.

In terms of infiltration ability, Reiner felt that her ability was no worse than that of the Revolutionary Army's gopher-like army commander.

In Impel Down, Perona had already demonstrated her talent in this area, and Reiner also valued her strategic role very much.

Returning to the present, above the plaza.

Two executioners in brown uniforms stepped up the stairs, one step at a time, onto the execution platform.

Each step signified the countdown of Ace's life, and also heralded the arrival of the doomsday-like climax of this war.

The two of them lowered the brims of their hats, their expressions solemn. Sanji lowered his head, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the approaching Ace and Sengoku.

He gripped the longsword used for executions tightly, his palm couldn't help but sweat, and he could only feel his heartbeat constantly accelerating.

The pressure from the Fleet Admiral is truly terrifying. Sanji immediately looked away to the side. Don't screw up, you idiot.

The other also gestured with his eyes, probably cursing him not to be a burden. Sanji instantly understood.

This scene was also seen from the small town behind the plaza.

"They succeeded, Luffy!!"

Usopp raised his binoculars and shouted hurriedly. Through the two dark circles of the lenses, he could clearly see that on the waist of one of the executioners...

...were three swords hanging?

"He's an idiot!"

Usopp threw the binoculars in his hand to the ground, roared, and stomped on them frantically. "Can't you hide them! Hide them, you idiot!"

"Stop wasting time!"

Franky jumped onto a small wooden boat placed in the room and urged, "Hurry up and get on, everyone!"

He had built this boat on the spot in three minutes, using all the furniture in the house.

One minute to dismantle the furniture, one minute to build, and the last minute to carve exquisite patterns on it.

"Coming!"

"Wait for me!"

Luffy and the others hurriedly jumped on, and the group crowded onto the small boat.

Franky sat at the stern, his thick arms each extending two slender steel pipes that combined together.

"I'm going to use a Coup de Vent! You guys blast open the wall!"

"Leave it to me!"

Ivankov faced the wall, and with a blink of his eyes, his long eyelashes instantly fanned up a shockwave!

Boom! The wall shattered with a roar.

Franky's arms swelled up another size!

At the same time, on the execution platform.

A trace of hesitation began to appear on Sengoku's gloomy face. Should I still have Akainu melt the ice?

Blocking the pirates was only one of the strategic purposes of the encirclement wall.

If the iron wall couldn't be raised, it meant that the entire plaza would be directly exposed to Whitebeard's sight.

If Sakazuki were to use such a large-scale slaughter method...

Sengoku knew Whitebeard's character and power too well. If the other went crazy, the entire Marineford would be plunged into doomsday.

However, before he could make a decision...

Sakazuki stood at the front of the plaza with a grim face. Scorching magma, red turning to black, gushed from his body.

He saw Sengoku's hesitation. So what if Whitebeard retaliates?

If you don't kill pirates, what kind of Marine are you!

"Wait a minute, Sakazuki!"

"This is war, Fleet Admiral!!"

Faced with Sengoku's words, Akainu retorted without hesitation,

"The soldiers who stepped onto the battlefield should have long been prepared to make sacrifices!!"

Akainu's eyes grew more and more ruthless. His elementalized arms swelled up and aimed at the sky. The angry volcano instantly erupted!

"Ryusei Kazan!!" (Meteor Volcano)

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The next moment, his arms were like a Gatling gun, and a large amount of molten rock shot out like cannonballs!

Before the terrified eyes of the charging pirates below...

Countless dark red molten rocks transformed into fists, shooting towards the dark sky with terrifying high temperatures!

"Akainu!"

Vista's expression was grave. The volcano-like eruption of molten rock instantly lit up the entire sky.

"The ice is about to be melted!"

"Quick, charge onto the plaza!"

As the first red meteor flew into the clouds, some pirates who had reacted in time had already begun to shout to those around them.

The generals on the plaza also began to give orders!

"Fire immediately!"

"Don't let them get on!"

And just at this moment when both sides had their hearts in their throats, a sound came from the sky again!

From the thick, dark clouds, a black spherical cloud mass, about the same size as the molten rock, broke free.

Boom!

The thundercloud ball fell and collided with the upward-shooting fist of molten rock. The violent energy instantly exploded.

When everyone looked up with surprised and doubtful gazes, they saw the dark clouds churning and lightning flashing.

A graceful figure stood in the sky, the dazzling electric light illuminating her fair face, a head of orange hair dancing wildly in the wind.

Countless black cloud balls containing violent lightning broke free from the thundercloud and floated behind her, as if the goddess of the storm had descended!

"Infinite Raigo!"

As that figure waved her hand continuously, dozens, even hundreds, of thunder balls fell towards the molten rocks!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The violent energy continuously collided in mid-air. Lightning and magma bloomed like red and blue fireworks!

The sky full of fireworks slowly fell.

Whether it was pirates or Marines, they were all stunned by this breathtaking scene.

"My god, is this a god..."

"...A goddess has descended."

"It's too far, I can't see her face clearly..."

This world-destroying scene made that graceful figure look like a goddess who had walked out of a painting.

But in reality, high up in the sky...

"An Admiral is too terrifying!!"

Seeing the countless molten rocks flying up, Nami was so scared her face turned green. "Can a move like this really be unleashed so casually!"

She had used the weather to continuously adjust and only then created a whole patch of thunderclouds that she could use for herself.

And the other could just do it casually?

Nami continuously drew the energy from the dark clouds, sending down small Raigos.

She looked panicked, but was actually slightly relaxed.

"After all, you've only had the fruit for less than two months."

Reiner smiled faintly. "You can already trade blows with an Admiral. In another two years, maybe you'll have a place among the Four Emperors."

Although Reiner thought it was unlikely, it didn't stop him from praising her.

"I'm not as amazing as you say," Nami rolled her eyes at him, but a little bit of pride couldn't help but rise in her heart, and she worked even harder to condense one thunder ball after another to bombard down.

"It seems our allies have appeared."

Whitebeard grinned and looked at the figure in the sky. Let this old man return the favor and help you attract some attention.

He looked down at the two executioners walking up to the execution platform in the distance, raised his hand, and tore off the white cape on his body, throwing it out.

Whitebeard dragged Murakumogiri and leaped off the Moby Dick, shouting at Ace on the execution platform:

"I've kept you waiting, you foolish son!"
