Chapter 22: Want to go to Marineford? I Can Help You

"Hannibal, you have done a good job keeping the bottom line of justice."

Shiro, shrouded in CP0's white cloak and mask, turned his head and greeted Hannibal slightly after blocking Straw Hat Luffy's attack.

Impel Down Deputy Warden Hannibal's performance, at least, let Shiro see that justice still exists.

On the other side, although Hannibal didn't withstand Luffy's final blow, he was seriously injured before. Seeing someone save the situation, he could no longer rely on willpower. Before Shiro's words fell, Hannibal collapsed and passed out.

At the same time, the pirate fugitives were shocked when they saw that Straw Hat Luffy's powerful attack was blocked with one hand. Although some of these pirate fugitives are not weak, most of them are not the opponents of Straw Hat Luffy. Plus, Straw Hat Luffy has always been a central figure. Despite his youth, his strength is obvious to all. So, the fugitives were a little shocked. After all, it looked like Straw Hat Luffy was inferior to the white-robed man who had just appeared!

"Hey, who are you? Are you going to stop me from saving Ace?" Luffy asked, feeling that the person in front of him was difficult to deal with. He also felt a hint of familiarity but couldn't place it.

"Straw Hat Luffy," Shiro looked at Luffy coldly. He should say something to Luffy for Vice Admiral Garp now, but it wouldn't help. Justice or something, Luffy had heard it all since he was a child, right? Without much more to say, Shiro stopped talking nonsense and directly unleashed the Six-Styles Rankyaku!

Shiro's Six-Styles technique was not comparable to those of CP9. An understated move could do a lot of damage. Although Straw Hat Luffy barely escaped, the fugitives behind him were severely injured.

"Who the heck are you? Run away!" Straw Hat Luffy was in a hurry. His brother's execution was imminent; he had to get to the Navy Headquarter, Marineford!

"Straw Hat Luffy, don't you want to go to Marineford? I can help you!" Shiro just wanted to smile at Luffy's daring appearance. Although Luffy's background was scary, Shiro didn't care. If he wanted to go to Marineford, then he would be escorted!

Swah—

A cold light shone, and the entire scorching hell trembled! At the moment when Shiro swung the slash, several strong people present, Crocodile, Fish-Man Jinbe, Emporio Ivankov, and Commodore Smoker, had their expressions change instantly! This was a real powerhouse! With an ordinary sword, he could swing such a slash and was definitely a swordsman of the level of a great swordsman.

Even Smoker was briefly puzzled. He hadn't heard of a great swordsman in CP0! As for Rear Admiral Tashigi, she frowned and was slightly puzzled. This slash had a hint of familiarity, but the sword was wrong!

With a single blow, Shiro sent Straw Hat Luffy flying 100 meters away, then retracted the trembling sword. To not let Tashigi and others find the slightest clue, Shiro deliberately put away his Shura and picked up a navy sword to use. But ordinary swords were hard to withstand the slashes swung by Shiro and would shatter completely if not careful.

However, against Luffy, Shiro couldn't use too much swordsmanship!

Swah—

After hitting Straw Hat Luffy, Shiro then dodged and rushed towards Luffy again, trying to capture him as soon as possible. However, someone stood in front of Straw Hat Luffy. The original Warlord of the Sea, Crocodile!

This big pirate with a cigar in his mouth and a gold hook in one hand saw Shiro attacking Straw Hat again and hurried to rescue. Fortunately, he was very close to Straw Hat Luffy.

"Now, I can't let you kill the straw hat boy!" Crocodile narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly. Immediately, his entire body quickly turned into flowing sand, and he waved two shackles, trying to block the opponent's attack.

The strength displayed by this white-robed man made him feel quite tricky!

"Crocodile," Shiro, who was moving at high speed, smiled coldly. A former Warlord of the Sea defeated by Straw Hat Luffy now has to save his former enemy! Is it to turn the war into peace or another plan? But whatever. It is destined to be futile!

He threw two sand attacks on his face. Shiro stepped on the Moonwalk and easily dodged, then punched and quickly slammed into Crocodile!

Elementalized!?

Then let's see if your Crocodile's elementalization can stop Black Arm Zephyr's level of Armament Haki!

Thump—

A loud explosion! Crocodile spat out a mouthful of blood. Like a cannonball, he was knocked out. His eyes were full of shock!

"Such a powerful Armament Haki, careless!" Crocodile suffered a heavy blow, barely stabilizing his body, and clutching his chest. It seemed that he had stayed too long in the first half of the Grand Line, losing the heart of the strong.

He lost to Straw Hat before, now in battle again...

Shiro did not continue to attack Crocodile but instead focused on Luffy. For Shiro, he didn't owe Vice Admiral Garp anything and had nothing to do with Luffy. Naturally, there was no need to show mercy like Aokiji. Dealing with Luffy at this point was not difficult. It could even be said to be simple. Because the current Straw Hat was too weak.

Boom—

With just one punch wrapped in Armament Haki, Straw Hat Luffy was knocked out! Maybe it was because Straw Hat had been seriously injured before, or perhaps, he was so vulnerable in front of Shiro. At least, Shiro didn't use all his strength. Speaking of which, Luffy should thank Shiro. In any case, Shiro would help him get to Marineford. Although they were being escorted to go!

Only one thing Shiro found a little strange. Luffy was knocked unconscious, and no one came out to save him. Did Luffy enter Impel Down by luck, or was there someone behind the scenes? Just by luck? Or had they left?

Straw Hat Boy! Mr. Luffy! Luffy...

Seeing Luffy being knocked out, Jinbe, Ivankov, and Crocodile were shocked and rushed over to prepare for a rescue. It wasn't just these strong people. All the criminals who participated in the escape had already lost their morale. The performance of the man in the white robe was too explosive. Even Straw Hat Luffy, who led them all the way, was taken down! Wouldn't it be easier to finish off these smaller roles?!

Jinbe and Ivankov tried to rescue Luffy, but Shiro did not give them a chance. Instead, he directly carried the fainted Luffy and dodged to Commodore Smoker.

"Commodore Smoker, the latest order of the World Government, you will escort Pirate Straw Hat Luffy to the Navy Headquarters, and together with Fire Fist Ace, publicly execute him!"
