Chapter 69: Reversal, the Eagle Becomes a Chicken

Naval Headquarter, Marineford.

At this time, Admiral Akainu looked extremely angry and attacked Shiro with a terrifying magma.

And the reason why he shouted for Momousagi and the Pirate Empress to get out of the way was not out of pity.

In his eyes, in order to complete the mission and restore the glory of justice, it didn't matter who died.

Including Vice Admiral Momousagi, who was a candidate for Admiral.

Since Momousagi dared to run to protect Shiro at this time, it was no different from betraying the Navy.

For righteous traitors, Akainu would naturally not hesitate.

In general, he would have killed Momousagi and the Pirate Empress without a word.

But now, the reason why he was holding back was actually to stimulate Shiro, increasing the probability of directly attacking him.

Momousagi and the Pirate Empress were no trifles.

If these two women desperately protected each other, it would not be easy for him to take advantage of Shiro's weakness and kill him in one fell swoop.

So, he wanted to stimulate Shiro.

Although his relationship with Shiro had always been tense, he knew that Shiro was a young man with a strong personality.

It stood to reason that a woman would never risk her life to protect him.

Not to mention, these two women—one was Aunt Momousagi, who cared for him, and the other was the most beautiful woman in the world, who loved him deeply.

Therefore, Akainu deliberately opened his mouth to stimulate Shiro, hoping that he would escape the protection of Momousagi and the Pirate Empress.

Thus, he would have the greatest chance to seriously injure or even kill Shiro in one fell swoop!

And as long as Shiro was eliminated, the morale of the Navy would revive, and the war would turn in their favor!

"Shiro!"

When Admiral Akainu's voice had not yet fallen, the events seemed to play right into Akainu's hands!

Among the surprised and extremely worried Shiro, the Pirate Empress, and Peach Rabbit, Shiro suddenly passed the two of them and, in a state of 'exhaustion', personally confronted Admiral Akainu!

This time, the Pirate Empress and Momousagi were completely panicked.

Although they knew that Shiro feared they would get hurt, with Shiro's current state, facing Admiral Akainu alone, he was likely to be in grave danger!

Almost immediately, the Pirate Empress and Momousagi quickly stepped forward to support Shiro, but they were temporarily stopped by several Vice Admirals who had been waiting for their chance!

"Shiro, you really fell for it! Although I don't want to admit it, you are indeed the most talented young Navy officer I have ever seen!"

"It's a pity that you chose to be the enemy of justice. From the moment you made your choice, your fate was sealed. Make your peace, traitor!"

At this moment, Admiral Akainu looked excited.

Shiro really had broken away from the protection of Momousagi and the two women.

Still young!

As long as he recovered his physical strength for a while, he could regain the strength to protect himself with the speed of thunder!

But now, to court death like this! This was a godsend.

He, Akainu, would naturally take this chance to wash away the shame for justice and completely eradicate Shiro, the greatest scourge in the history of the Navy!

Boom, boom—

The overwhelming magma fist came with Admiral Akainu. The sky was full of firelight that completely shrouded this area.

At this time, the Pirate Empress and the Vice Admiral Momousagi were blocked.

The soldiers who followed Shiro were unable to support him.

Not even Whitebeard dared to stop Akainu's attack before it came.

And Shiro, surrounded by terrifying magma, though lightning arcs flashed on his body, seemed extremely weak, as if he couldn't even muster the ability to dodge and transform into thunder!

At this moment, it seemed that everyone present thought that Shiro was going to suffer.

After all, Shiro had repeatedly fought against many top experts before, and then summoned the Buddha with his own power to destroy the entire Navy Headquarter.

Such a series of battles would certainly consume a great deal of physical strength.

And at this time, Admiral Akainu was targeting him; it was naturally a dangerous situation!

"Come on, Sakazuki, and try to restore the glory of the Navy!"

At this time, the tattered Fleet Admiral Sengoku the Buddha couldn't help roaring.

Once, he was very optimistic about the young man Shiro.

But now, Shiro had divided the Navy and even destroyed the Navy Headquarter, trampling the justice of the Navy underfoot.

From that moment on, that young man named Shiro was already the complete enemy of the Navy!

"This kid is still too young after all!"

The Naval hero Garp looked at the situation on the distant battlefield with a dazed gaze.

The young man who killed so many in the Naval Headquarter and was destined to shock the world was finally at the end of the road at this time.

Continuing to fight against the top powerhouses and using a devastating offensive to destroy the Naval Headquarter—such fighting intensity, even at his peak, would have exhausted him.

At this time, Shiro's situation was definitely not much better.

If Admiral Akainu aimed at him with all his strength now, he would be in serious danger!

When everyone's eyes were drawn to this moment, Admiral Akainu's attack finally came.

Akainu's hands surged with magma, and the extremely powerful Meteor Volcano loomed overhead.

No matter how you looked at it, this time, Akainu was aiming to kill!

But Admiral Akainu was puzzled. Shiro's behavior was very strange. Faced with such a dangerous situation, this kid was as calm as usual, even with a smile on his face?!

But this guy, Shiro, was so exhausted that he couldn't even transform into lightning to escape!

Admiral Akainu thought no more.

At this time, he and Shiro were already close at hand. Parsing was what needed to be done.

It was this young man who even felt a little scary to him—he must be completely erased!

Boom, boom—

The powerful magma attack smashed down like doomsday!

Everyone watching was shocked.

Under normal circumstances, even if Shiro was physically exhausted, he should still have been able to escape Akainu's attack.

But Shiro didn't!

He calmly faced the terrifying magma, and as the attack approached, his expression didn't change.

Just when Admiral Akainu thought that this move would seriously injure Shiro.

The next moment, Shiro, who had been standing calmly, suddenly exerted force, and the Meteor Volcano that was pressing down was sent flying away in an instant!

Not only that!

Almost instantly, Shiro was still smiling!

His original "weak" figure was like a ghost, avoiding Admiral Akainu's attack in an instant, and then attacking Admiral Akainu with a punch!

Boom—

Akainu was actually hit head-on!

"How is it possible!?"

This was the first time Admiral Akainu had felt fear in this war.

This kid Shiro, in a physically exhausted state, still had such terrifying strength!

And looking at it now, this kid Shiro still seemed to have plenty of energy!

At this moment, Admiral Akainu instantly felt a chill.

He realized he had fallen into Shiro's trap!

This kid pretended to be exhausted, just to deceive everyone, and then defeat him in one fell swoop!

Damn it! He was careless!

Shiro deceived everyone present, and he fell into Shiro's scheme!

This kid had been planning a "reverse attack" since long ago!

What a terrifying guy!
