Akainu’s sudden attack startled the pirates who had gathered to watch, and seeing his bloodthirsty aura, they began to worry.

Could it be that the Marines were going to attack them too?

“We need to leave immediately, or we won’t get away.”

Shanks’s expression was grim. He swung his sword, shattering the ice that had frozen his ship, and then quickly departed.

“NO ONE IS LEAVING! GREAT ERUPTION!“

A giant Magma Fist shot towards the Red-Haired Pirates.

Shanks drew his sword with a grave expression. Gryphon—one of the Supreme Grade Swords—gleamed in his hand.

He swung the sword, blocking Akainu’s Magma Fist. Shanks was struggling.

He was only in his twenties now, his strength not yet at its peak. Facing Akainu was quite a challenge.

Akainu’s strength had already reached its peak. Even with further training—he wouldn’t improve much.

And Akainu’s strength was at the pinnacle of the One Piece world.

Alone against Whitebeard, he might be thrashed, but if Akainu wanted to escape, Whitebeard couldn’t stop him. The Marines’ strongest combat power wasn’t just for show.

A Marine Admiral facing a Yonko one-on-one might not be a match, but they weren’t far off. If it were two against one, it would be a stalemate at least.

And three against one, even Whitebeard wouldn’t stand a chance against them.

But that was only if Kizaru didn’t slack off. Kizaru’s strength was very ambiguous. His fights seemed like a game. But his power should not be weaker than Akainu’s and Aokiji’s.

After all, they were all called monsters.

If Kizaru couldn’t win, he could slip away. The Glint-Glint Fruit‘s light-speed movement… besides space-movement-type fruits, no one else could really catch him.

But Kizaru should also have a weakness, like the gravity of the Dark-Dark Fruit. That was actually Kizaru’s nemesis.

Under gravity, even real light could be swallowed.

The premise was that the Dark-Dark Fruit had to be developed to the level of a black hole.

But that was probably impossible.

————

Now it was the clash between Akainu and Shanks.

“Not bad. Looks like I can’t leave you alive.”

A cold light flickered in Akainu’s eyes. His move had actually been blocked. Not many pirates could block his Magma Fist.

And Akainu also knew about Shanks.

Shanks was a Supernova. And he was an apprentice of the Roger Pirates. The danger level was even greater.

“HURRY UP AND GO!”

Benn Beckman shouted to the other members of the Red-Haired Pirates.

Right now, their pirate crew couldn’t face an Admiral. Shanks’s strength hadn’t reached the level of an Admiral yet.

He was probably at a quasi-Admiral level now—able to fight an Admiral and not lose in a short time. But in the long run, he would definitely be defeated.

“Whitebeard, I hope you won’t interfere in this matter. Take the Whitebeard Pirates and leave as soon as possible.”

Aokiji came to Whitebeard’s side and said to him.

“Are you threatening me?” A cold light flickered in Whitebeard’s eyes. If no one else intervened, Whitebeard felt he could kill Aokiji.

Aokiji held an ice sword. “It’s not a threat. But if the Whitebeard Pirates want to go to war with the Marines, then we don’t mind keeping you company.”

Facing Whitebeard, though he didn’t want to fight them, Aokiji didn’t flinch. The Marines were only wary of the Whitebeard Pirates, not afraid of them.

Wary of going to war with the Whitebeard Pirates, which would cause serious damage in the end, not afraid of fighting them.

Whitebeard glanced at the members of the Whitebeard Pirates behind him, a hint of hesitation on his face.

————

Shin wasn’t far away and saw the hesitation on Whitebeard’s face. He shook his head slightly. Whitebeard really had a lot of concerns.

But it was understandable. Whitebeard treated his crew as family and didn’t want to risk his family for a single choice.

If they really fought the Marines, the best outcome would be a lose-lose situation.

The most important thing was that it wasn’t worth it. They had no irreconcilable hatred with the Marines. They were just asking them to leave.

“What do you think Whitebeard will choose?” Shin turned his head and asked Olvia.

“I’m not sure. I don’t know Whitebeard’s personality either.” Olvia shook her head. She also wasn’t sure if Whitebeard would fight.

“I think he will fight. If he leaves like this, wouldn’t the Whitebeard Pirates lose face?”

Hancock said.

“I don’t think so. The Whitebeard Pirates don’t need to risk themselves for a strange pirate.” Robin held a different opinion from Hancock.

Shin couldn’t guess either. Anyway, there were only two choices. Now it depended on Whitebeard’s decision.

He stared curiously at Whitebeard and Aokiji, wondering if Whitebeard would slash at him.

Though he had only fought Whitebeard once and hadn’t had much interaction, Shin didn’t think Whitebeard was a good-tempered person.

————

“We’re done here. Withdraw.”

Whitebeard punched the frozen sea surface, shattering it, then jumped onto the Moby Dick and led the Whitebeard Pirates away.

“He really left. I’m a little disappointed.”

Shin was slightly disappointed, but he could also understand Whitebeard.

What’s the point of staying?

Other pirate crews had no relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates. Challenging the Marines for them? Whitebeard wouldn’t do such a foolish thing.

————

After seeing Whitebeard leave, Aokiji breathed a sigh of relief. But seeing the Kuja Pirates still here, Aokiji had a headache again.

The Whitebeard Pirates had left. How should they deal with the Kuja Pirates now?

Should he drive the Kuja Pirates away in the same way—or warn the Kuja Pirates not to attack?

Aokiji felt that if he really did that, it would likely have the opposite effect. The situation would become even worse.

So, Aokiji took an “Out of sight, out of mind” approach. He simply ignored them and went to deal with the other pirates.

The other pirates were about to escape. If he didn’t deal with them now, they would really get away. The plan couldn’t fail.

————

“I thought he was going to drive us away too. I already drew my sword.” Hancock disappointedly sheathed her sword again.

If Aokiji had come to drive them away, Hancock would have definitely slashed at him.

“Hancock, your strength is not enough to fight a Marine Admiral yet.” Shin said to Hancock.

“Aren’t you here? You definitely won’t let me get hurt,” Hancock directly clung to Shin and asked.

Shin didn’t speak. He felt Hancock would become a little vixen sooner or later.
