"Father!"

Marco turned into his Pheonix form and flew in the direction of Whitebeard. This time Fujitora did not block him, or Marco in a nearly insane state rushed out of Fujitora's oppression.

Cough! Cough!

Whitebeard covered his chest with one hand and coughed violently and as he coughed, countless blood drops spilled onto the ice, it was really a shocking sight.

Marco rushed to Whitebeard's side and produced a ma.s.s of Peonix flame into Whitebeard's chest, and prevented Whitebeard's injury from becoming more serious.

His Pheonix flames can't have much effect on people other than himself. It is impossible for him to fully heal Whitebeard's injury in a short time, and at most, he can prevent it from becoming worse.

Whitebeard stood up slightly.

After Marco gave Whitebeard emergency treatment, he asked Whitebeard anxiously, "Father, how are you?"

Whitebeard waved his hand at Marco.

Just when he wanted to say something, countless cannonb.a.l.l.s suddenly emerged from a distance and banged on the ice island.

"d.a.m.n! It's Marine!"

Marco looked back, only to find out that a large number of Marine fleet had arrived at the ice island, he could not help showing some of his anger.

Whitebeard lost to Ross and was seriously injured. His condition is also very bad. After a long fight, his stamina has been exhausted and bottomed out. At this time, Marines had boarded the Island, these guys are really worse than tras.h.!.+

But.

Marine's attack target is not just them. The Ghost Hand Pirates will probably be targeted by the Marines as they also want to kill them all. The next situation will become extremely bad for them.

Whitebeard was also looking in the direction of the Marine Battles.h.i.+ps and a flash of coldness flashed in his eyes. He had indeed lost to Ross and although it was because of the aging of his body as he didn't have his peak powers but this fight was also considered to be upright and not disturbed and him losing was fair.

And now.

Marines wanted to take advantage of this situation at this time, this undoubtedly offended Whitebeard.

At this moment, several cannonb.a.l.l.s fell from the sky and fell in the direction of Whitebeard. Marco's eyes flashed and just as he was about rush forward to stop them, Whitebeard suddenly waved his arm.

Kāchā!

No one knows where the power came from, the air burst in an instant, allowing all the cannonb.a.l.l.s to freeze in the air, and then explode one by one.

"Want to take away my head during this time? Marines, I'm afraid you're wrong, I am … Whitebeard!"

Whitebeard turned around and the momentum surged, he slammed out his hand angrily and punched forward, the force of the shock erupted.

Kāchā!

The air showed cracks like ice.

The ice surface in front of Whitebeard shattered in a large area and blasted towards the Marine's Battles.h.i.+ps. Numerous ice pieces broke up, breaking the first half of many battles.h.i.+ps.

"You have been pushed to this point and you still have such power, it's really terrible, Whitebeard …"

Whiz!

A golden light flashed and Kizaru appeared on the ice island and said with a terrifying tone, but there was no fear on his face.

If it had been Whitebeard in his youth, he wouldn't be appearing here. But now an old Whitebeard with severe injuries is standing here and he would have had no reason to be afraid of him as a Marine Admiral.

As his voice fell, he stretched out his fingers and a bright light condensed and a few laser beams burst into the air and blasted towards Whitebeard.

"Yellow … Monkey!"

There was anger in Marco's eyes, and he moved forward in an instant, reaching Whitebeard's front and blocking Kizaru's laser attack.

With Kizaru ascending to the island, Marines also rushed towards ice island in a large group.

"They really did come here."

Ross stared at Marine's fleet from a distance with a gleam of light flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes.

And at this time, a cherry-colored sword light swept across and the ice surface was cut open by it. The sword energy aimed at Ross and fell down.

Ross grunted and reached his hand out to grab the empty s.p.a.ce in front of him and curbed the impact of the cherry blossom sword energy.

Far away.

Marine alternate candidate Admiral Momousagi appeared, standing with a large sword in her hand with the clock of Justice wrapped around her.

"Finally became a top sword user once and for all … No, you should be infinitely closer to being a top sword user?" Ross glances at Momousagi, opened his mouth and spoke indifferently.

He has little experience with sword arts, but he does not know much about it. If he only talks about sword arts, he is now an ordinary swordsman.

"But."

"Is that all?"

The first half of Ross's sentence is stated and taken seriously, but the second half suddenly turns into something flat and condescending.

As soon as he grasped the Void with five fingers, the cherry-colored sword energy was like a huge python, which was rotated by his Distortion and turned into a cherry-colored sphere, it kept shrinking and finally was held in Ross's palm before it broke and disappeared.

Now Momousagi is almost the same as Aokiji and Kizaru and others and she is even stronger than Aokiji and Kizaru in attacks, but it is still not enough in front of Ross, even if Ross only has one-third of his stamina left, he is still not someone that Momousagi or a mere Admiral can win against.

"It's enough for you."

Momousagi's eyes remained unchanged. She seemed to have become integrated with the sword blade. In her eyes, only what was to be cut and what was not to be cut were left.

"Captain, in our state, I am afraid we can't fight the Marines." Laffitte stood not far away with his cane spread out in his hands and spoke helplessly to Ross.

There were several wounds on his body and his appearance looked a little disheveled.

Fighting with the Whitebeard Pirates for so long, it is impossible for anyone to remain unscathed, they are only a little hurt, but the main problem is their stamina.

"No, we can't"

Trafalgar Law gasped while holding the demon sword, Kikoku, but his eyes were calm, and he said, "And there are still them."

This 'them' naturally refers to the Whitebeard Pirates.

"What do you think?"

Laffitte asked Ross.

However, Marines would not wait for them to finish their discussion, the Marines who had rushed to the ice island, and after attacking the Whitebeard Pirates, they also aggressively attacked s.h.i.+liew of the Rain and others.

Aokiji's Ice Age strengthened the thickness of the ice island and it spread across the battlefield instantly, freezing countless people into ice sculptures.

Whiz!

Except for s.h.i.+liew, everyone jumped into the air and avoided Aokiji's large-scale attack.

"ICEBALL!"

Aokiji's figure flickered into the air and his eyes lightened with his steady arms, his arms instantly turned into surging ice cubes, and he struck away at Ross.

Ross stood on the ice and raised his hand indifferently.

Bang!

The power of distortion erupted and instantly broke the surging ice. The spread of the power of distortion even hit Aokiji's and his body broke into ice.

"Aarara…"

Aokiji's body was broken into ice cubes and fell to the ice island below.

s.h.i.+liew was standing on the ice, half of his body had been turned into frost and his eyes stared coldly at the direction in which Aokiji had attacked Ross, he raised his sword and split it towards Aokiji.

Wherever the sword energy went, the air showed a frozen form, as if a clear white line had been cut in Void.

Kāchā! Kāchā!

The broken ice quickly regained its shape in the air. Aokiji waved his arms, blocking s.h.i.+liew's sword energy and ignoring the coldness contained in s.h.i.+liew's sword energy.

His body is Ice, and Cold-Cold fruit's abilities will have no effect on him.

Cold-Cold fruit against Ice-Ice Fruit, the former has great immunity against the latter's power, while the latter is almost completely immune to the former's power.

But.

s.h.i.+liew's strongest attacks are from his sword arts. Even if Cold-Cold fruit does not work for Aokiji, he can also rely on Cold-Cold fruit to have an extremely large resistance to ice. On the contrary, he is at an advantage against Aokiji.

But all of this must be based on the benchmark power level of the two sides. The current s.h.i.+liew has been fighting for a long time and there is not much stamina left in him. He isn't Aokiji's opponent at this time.

“Moon Arc!”

Momousagi rushed forward while Aokiji attacked Ross, splitting a sword again towards Ross.

However, before this sword energy rushed to Ross, it was stopped by Fujitora's staff blade. The gravity crushed the sword energy and cut the ice island into an abyss.

“…”

Momousagi looked solemnly at Fujitora.

Ross retracted his fist and looked at Momousagi and Aokiji, and said, “Want to kill two Yonkō (Four Emperors) at the same time, don't you think your appet.i.te is getting way too big?”

Whiz!

At the moment his voice fell, Ross took a step forward and his figure suddenly came in front of Aokiji, he punched towards Aokiji.

Aokiji's face changed and he folded his arms in front of him.

Bang!

Ross's punch instantly broke through his Armament Haki, making his body break into ice cubes and splas.h.i.+ng away into the distance.

With Ross's words, s.h.i.+liew and others also showed a cold look on their faces.

After fighting with the Whitebeard Pirates for so long time, a third party in the form of Marines suddenly stepped in their battlefield, anyone would be a bit angry in their hearts. Even those who let go of the Whitebeard Pirates would never make these Marines feel better!

“Kill!”

“Don't be afraid, they don't have much power anymore!”

Three or four Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral rushed forward with a large number of Marines, all with murderous intentions in their eyes.

The two sides rushed together in an instant and the situation has become completely chaotic.

Aokiji, Kizaru, and Momousagi, the three of them have real Marine Admiral combat power, in addition, there is also a Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki Future Prediction user with powers only second to a Marine Admiral, Admiral Candidate, Tokikake.

Coupled with a large number of Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral and Marine Elite force, after the fight between the Ghost Hand Pirates Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates, the Marines are undoubtedly the strongest player on the field.

But.

Even if they are the strongest currently, their strongness is also limited.

If they come together to deal with one of the Yonko's whether it is the Ghost Hand Pirates or the Whitebeard Pirates, they would have the absolute upper hand and they could even defeat or kill them.

But if they want to deal with the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates at the same time, then they are dreaming, even if the stamina of people on the Ross side is extremely consumed and many people are injured, but they are still not someone that can be easily defeated.

If the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates are completely united, Marine will not be an opponent even if it has the top four combat power capabilities.

However, the problem is that the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates will not join up their forces together as there is also a fierce conflict between them and this situation has become a three-way fight.

On this battlefield, the most noticeable existence is undoubtedly the Ghost Hand Ross who defeated Whitebeard and won the t.i.tle of “World's Strongest”!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Vigorous bangs kept coming.

The wanton explosion of Ross's powers is almost like a weapon to destroy the world. No one can resist his power wherever he goes. Even Aokiji and Momousagi can only restrain him on a single side.

Tang! Tang! Tang!

Ross' arm was attached to the dark Armament Haki and his fists. .h.i.t Momousagi, colliding with Momousagi's blade and sparks splattered everywhere.

After a few punches that shook Momousagi's blade and forced it sideways, Ross grasped this opportunity and punched against Momousagi's chest with the power of distortion.

Whiz!

Momousagi stepped back decisively and condensed her Armament Haki.

Taking advantage of the situation to retreat and defend herself with the Armament Haki, she felt a tightness in her chest that made her uncomfortable, but she managed to resist Ross's attack.

Ross strides forward, edging past Momousagi and reaching for her blade.

Momousagi is a swordsman. As long as her sword is taken away, her power will drop by half in an instant, and then there is the possibility of catching her alive.

Once she is in his hands, with the help of deep hypnosis, mental surgery, and Hobi Hobi no Mi fruit's ability, she could be turned into a battle power on his side.

But.

Just as Ross charges into Momousagi, a bullet cut through the battlefield and hit towards Ross' temple on the right side, forcing Ross to give up his action of s.n.a.t.c.hing Momousagi's sword and flicking that bullet.

“Hey, don't be careless, Little Momousagi. Even if your sword arts have improved, this guy is still very good.” Shouted Tokikake from a distance.

Momousagi was tense when she faced Ross and she knew that she was in danger and was relieved by Tokikake's rescue. However, when she heard a 'little Momousagi' popping out of Tokikake 's mouth, she was annoyed for a while.

“Shut up!”

She replied in annoyance while holding her blade and slas.h.i.+ng it towards Ross, trying to vent her anger on Ross.

Ross became vaguely aware of why Tokikake failed to pursue Momousagi a hundred times.

Bang!

Ross pulls off two punches and hits Momousagi's blade.

After a two-second standoff, Momousagi was unable to fight with Ross head-on and flew back to the rear, landing a few dozen meters away.

Looking at Momousagi as she flew backward, Ross's eyes flashed and he was about to take a step forward and continue his attack when a voice suddenly sounded in the confused battlefield.

“Stop!”

The voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the battlefield.

As if it contained some inexplicable power, many people subconsciously stopped their movements in their hands, raised their heads, and looked in the direction of the sound.

There.

A figure wrapped in a black cape had stepped on the ice island and he is now standing at the edge of the ice island, his eyes swept across the battlefield.

He has red hair and is not very tall. Like Ross, he has an ordinary human body, but he has a frighting momentum.

“It's him?!”

“Why is he here……”

The moment they saw that figure, everyone reacted differently.

There was a s.h.i.+mmer of light in Whitebeard's eyes, Aokiji, Kizaru, and others looks changed slightly, and Ross narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Akagami (Red Hair), Shanks!”

Someone called out the ident.i.ty of the figure.

Third place Yonkō (Four Emperors), Red Hair Shanks … finally arrived on the battlefield!

Chapter 336 Red Hair Shanks

On the battlefield.

The Marines, the Whitebeard Pirates, and Ghost Hand Pirates are in a three-way confrontation. Although Marines have an advantage in this situation, it is impossible for them to completely destroy the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates.

The Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirate can defeat the Marines if they join forces, but there is no doubt that them joining forces with each other is simply impossible.

"Akagami (Red Hair) …"

Marco stood on a bulging ice rock, looking in the direction of Shanks.

s.h.i.+liew of the Rain slowly lowered his blade.

Everyone slowly stopped attacking.

In this completely melee situation, the appearance of Akagami (Red Hair) is enough to change the whole battle situation. Once he joins the battlefield, it will inevitably evolve into the largest battle since the Great Age of Pirates.

And in that case, the situation of the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates will be very bad, because the main cadres on both sides have reached their limit.

Step, step, step.

Shanks, wearing a wooden shoe, stepped on the ice and walked slowly into the field.

He did not unleash his Haoshoku Haki. In this situation, releasing his Haoshoku is tantamount to provoking the three parties at the same time and a b.l.o.o.d.y battle will be inevitable by that time.

"We meet again, Akagami."

Ross stood upright on the ice, looking at Red Hair Shanks as he approached, his voice relaxed.

Last time they met, it was in the West Blue.

At that time, he had not yet stepped into the Grand Line and was still struggling under the manhunt of Marines, fighting his way out of West Blue, and the gap between him and Shanks was immeasurable.

But more than six years later, everything has changed.

Today, he is one of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), his strength stands at the pinnacle of the sea, and even Whitebeard is no longer his opponent.

Ross's words caused the crowd to turn their eyes towards Ross and drift back and forth between Ross and Akagami (Red Hair), showing a few different colors.

Has Ghost Hand Ross met Akagami?

When is it? Why have they never heard of it?

"Oh."

Shanks nodded and said with deep eyes: "Time really does fly by."

Aokiji stood not far away, looking at Shanks with a look of gravity and alarm and asked. "What are you doing here?" 

Although it is difficult for the Marines to destroy the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates at the same time, there is no doubt that they currently have a great advantage. However, Akagami (Red Hair) Pirate's appearance on the battlefield has completely changed the situation.

Shanks stopped and turned to look at Aokiji, and he also looked at Momousagi, Kizaru, Marco, Fujitora, s.h.i.+liew of the Rain and others, and said:

"This Battle, it doesn't make any sense for it to continue. It will only endlessly expand the casualties. Marines will not reap any benefit here."

"What do you want to say?"

Momousagi coldly looks at Red Hair Shanks.

Shanks stared at Momousagi for a moment and said, "I'm here to stop this war, this battle needs to stop now."

"Think before you speak, Akagami."

Tokikake put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked at Shanks and slowly said, "Do you want to stop Marines from dealing with Pirates?"

Tokikake's voice dropped, and the atmosphere in the field suddenly sharpened.

However.

At this time, the s.h.i.+p of Akagami Pirates leaned against the ice. The deputy Captain Beckman, together with a large number of High-Level cadres of Akagami Pirates, stepped onto the ice island and walked towards the field.

The presence of the Akagami Pirate regiment cadres immediately suppressed the atmosphere.

Unlike those who have been fighting for three days and two nights, such as Marco and s.h.i.+liew, everyone in Akagami Pirates is in their peak condition!

"No."

Shanks spoke slowly, saying, "I didn't mean that. There are too many things that have to be fought because of my position. But this battle should stop here. If we continue, we will only continue to expand our losses."

Ross looked at Red Hair Shanks, no one knew what he was thinking.

In the War Of The Best, Shanks used a similar tough att.i.tude to prevent the subsequent development of the war. Blackbeard did not want to fight against Shanks in Marine Headquarters, and Marines did not want to face Akagami while chasing Whitebeard Pirates and Blackbeard Pirates.

However, this situation is completely different from the War Of The Best. Neither Whitebeard nor Ross is willing to compromise. A tough att.i.tude will only make things worse, so Shanks shows a calm att.i.tude.

Shanks' words silenced everyone.

If Shanks did not appear on the battlefield, Aokiji and others will inevitably continue to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates and the Ghost Hand Pirates.

Not to mention Whitebeard and the Ghost Hand, except that Ross who has kept nearly a third of his stamina. Everyone else's stamina is at its limits.

If they continue to fight, even s.h.i.+liew and Marco has the possibility of dying here.

Ross looked at Shanks.

"Akagami."

"Hmm?"

Shanks looked over.

Clang!

Ross reached over to the hilt at his waist and pulled the blade out.

The next moment, Ross suddenly disappears and reappears in front of Shanks with the blade in his hand was wrapped in a chaotic halo of Distortion, and he smashed into Shanks.

Shanks was a little surprised. At the moment Ross drew his sword, his hand was already pressed on the hilt of his own sword. When Ross appeared in front of him, his sword was already held in his hand and he waved it against Ross.

Time seems to have slowed down.

Under everyone's attention, Ross's sword edge and Shanks' sword edge approached each inch, and finally hit each other.

Clang!

Sparks splattered.

A chaotic power of distortion erupted suddenly, swaying in all directions, breaking the ice surface under the feet of Ross and Shanks, and instantly expanding to a range of dozens of meters!

At the same time, the dark clouds in the sky also cracked like an abyss with the collision of this sword!

"Ghost Hand!"

Among the Akagami Pirates behind Shanks, someone's looks changed.

In this unfavorable situation, will Ross choose to continue this fight? Kaido had some sense in him, and no matter how crazy Ross was, he wouldn't be a crazier beast than Kaido, who would fight off people until he fell down.

Kāchā! Kāchā!

After the ice surface under Ross and Shanks had been crushed by the power of distortion, a number of fragmented gullies appeared in the lower area, spreading in all directions.

When everything stopped, everyone saw Ross and Shanks standing face to face, with their blades coming together. Apart from the ice at their feet, which had not been broken, a huge crater had appeared on the ice for dozens of meters as if a meteorite has crashed down here!
