Chapter-9 The Tide Turns: Shanks' Intervention in the Battle

The two people's eyes collided, and the atmosphere gradually became tense. The two forces began to clash, and the war was about to break out!

"Akainu!" Blackbeard suddenly shouted, taking the lead in breaking the silence.

Blackbeard's legs bent slightly, his body squatting down, and one hand touched the ground. The palm of his hand exuded endless dark power, and then the surrounding area was instantly swallowed by darkness, forming a small black hole that spread toward Sakazuki.

"Dark Acupoint!" This was Blackbeard's signature move.

"It's just a small skill, but it's at a master's level!"

Seeing the terrifying attack launched by Blackbeard using the Dark Fruit ability, Sakazuki dismissed it as mere beginner's stuff, even though it had defeated Ace.

"Big fire-breathing!"

Sakazuki didn't wait for the black hole to come into contact with him and used an ordinary flat A attack to completely destroy the black hole condensed by Blackbeard.

As the black hole collapsed, Sakazuki's offensive did not slow down at all, and he punched Blackbeard's plump belly with real force. The latter instantly flew backward.

So, Blackbeard rolled back to the ground where he had just been and continued the unfinished rolling action.

Blackbeard whined as he rolled around.

It can only be said that Blackbeard had been smooth sailing recently.

He was getting too cocky.

He thought that by obtaining the Darkness Fruit, he would become the only dual-fruit user in the pirate world and be invincible.

How could he have thought that he would be defeated by Sakazuki with a single move?

The battle started quickly and ended even faster! The mouths of Blackbeard's men and Whitebeard Pirate captains twitched as they watched.

As the second strongest member of the Blackbeard Pirates, Shiryu of the Rain saw that his captain could not last even one round against Sakazuki.

Shiryu immediately distanced himself from Marco, retreated quickly, and then turned around to slash at Sakazuki's head with his sharp sword. The sword energy was so powerful that it almost knocked the military cap off Sakazuki's head.

He easily blocked Shiryu's demon sword with one punch. He glanced sideways at this inhumane killing machine holding a cigar. Sakazuki shook his fist hard and knocked him back.

Although Shiryu was a great swordsman with strength close to that of a general, compared to Sakazuki, who was one of the strongest generals, he was still far behind!

If Hawkeye, the world's greatest swordsman, had been in the distance and came in person, Sakazuki would have been more alert and waited solemnly. But Shiryu of the Rain was nothing to worry about!

Just when Sakazuki wanted to continue taking action, preparing to completely eliminate Blackbeard, a loud shout suddenly spread throughout the battlefield.

"Everyone, stop it! Don't fight anymore!"

The voice trembled slightly, with a hint of fear in its tone, showing the nervousness and fear of its owner.

Hearing such a heartbreaking cry, all the Marines and pirates stopped and looked toward the source of the sound.

In the middle of the battlefield, a sailor with pink hair and glasses on his forehead was seen crying, with a ferocious face covered with tears and snot.

Seeing everyone looking toward him, the pink-haired soldier suddenly became nervous and couldn't help but take a step back, crying even harder.

"Koby!" Belumber shouted cautiously next to him.

This cry seemed to give Koby great courage. He took a deep breath and continued to cry with his mouth wide open: "Let's stop the war! Let's stop it here!"

"You are wasting your lives! Every soldier has a family waiting for them to come home..."

The Marines, Shichibukai, and pirates were all stunned by this scene.

"Marine!" The pirates couldn't believe that there was actually a Marine who was willing to take the initiative to end the war.

Blackbeard also stopped rolling and stared straight here.

He no longer had any arrogance at this moment, but he desperately hoped to end the war and leave this hellish place with Sakazuki's presence.

Anyway, now that the best time to seize the Shock Fruit had passed, there was no hope left.

It was better to find a base to familiarize himself with the power of the Dark Fruit and take revenge later.

"Is it Garp?" Garp, who was controlled by the Marines, also had an expression of disbelief when he heard his apprentice's voice.

Sure enough, the deserter Koby showed up!

Sakazuki had a gloomy face. He didn't feel anything when he read the comics before, but now that it happened in front of his eyes, he suddenly felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly.

One rat's excrement ruins the whole pot of porridge. Just like what Akainu said in the original drama, the Marine does not need such soldiers with evil views!

Such soldiers who shake the morale of the army during a war must be executed immediately as a warning to others, following the ancient practices of previous generations.

As if sensing Sakazuki's inner thoughts, the hot-tempered Doberman walked directly through the crowd to Koby and slapped him hard on the face.

"Where did you come from? A Marine like you, who is afraid of death, should not continue to live!" Doberman said and raised the knife in his hand, intending to kill Koby on the spot.

"It's over! I'm dead!"

Koby had already regretted what he had just said, but the courage he had finally mustered up was shattered by Doberman's slap.

Now that he saw Doberman holding a knife and about to cut him down, he was so scared that he almost peed himself. Lieutenant General Ichiko's attack was not something he could resist.

Seeing that Doberman was about to kill Koby with one strike, at the critical moment, a long sword lay in front of Koby, blocking Doberman's knife.

"You did a great job, young Marine!"

"The few brave seconds you risked your life for have greatly changed the fate of the world!"

I saw the red-haired Shanks suddenly appear, holding his sword in his right hand, Griffin, the supreme sharp knife, and blocked the knife for Koby with almost every chance.

Doberman looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of him and was shocked. He was so fast!

"Four Emperors! Red Hair!" Everyone present was shocked. Someone began to spot the red pirate ship, the Red Force, slowly approaching through the ice in the distance.

How did the Four Emperors group appear here? This was the question most people had.

The most fearful thing was that the air suddenly became quiet. Ben Beckman, Jesus Bu, Lucky Lu, Rock Star, and other members of the Red-Haired Pirates came behind Shanks, and the momentum of the Four Emperors pirate group instantly burst out.

The Marines, the Red-Haired Pirates, the Blackbeard Pirates, and the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates moved in all directions, each gathering into a group and confronting each other.

"Can you give me face and let this war end here?" The deep and powerful voice of the red-haired spread throughout the battlefield, and the face fruit ability was activated!

"If anyone else wants to continue, our Red-Haired Pirates will accompany you!"

Sakazuki looked at this scene with cold eyes. He looked down on the red-haired guy. This guy was just a hypocrite.

As a Celestial Dragon who escaped from the Valley of the Gods war, Red Hair is just like Doflamingo, a World Noble who has fallen from the mortal world, but is much stronger than him in terms of strength.

While enjoying his aristocratic privileges, he was doing so in the name of maintaining the stability of the sea.

He spent all day bluffing and cheating on the sea, tricking Jesus into abandoning his wife and son, and tricking Luffy into becoming a pirate.

He also claims to be the leader in the world of pirates, which is really ridiculous!

Just when Sakazuki was about to make fun of the redhead, an unexpected scene appeared!
