On the sea, the Marine warship was indeed approaching at high speed.

Akainu and Aokiji stood at the bow.

“Is that the Kuja Pirates’ flag?”

Aokiji’s gaze had already spotted the Pluton docked outside. Although the ship had changed, the pirate flag had not.

“FIRE.”

Akainu ordered calmly.

Aokiji frowned when he heard this, but didn’t intervene. After all, they were here to deal with Shin Uzumaki. What would it look like if they spotted his ship and didn’t have the guts to attack?

They had to make a move. Aokiji wouldn’t stop him, but if Akainu really went overboard, he’d definitely step in.

Cannonballs flew towards the Pluton.

————

Momousagi and the others on the ship also saw the incoming projectiles.

“<ROOM: Shambles!>”

Marguerite acted without hesitation, using the power of the Op-Op Fruit to slice apart all the incoming cannonballs.

The sliced cannonballs all fell into the sea.

Momousagi looked at the nearby warship, a hesitant expression on her face. Should she act or not?

But there was no time for her to hesitate. Another round of cannonballs came. Seeing this, Momousagi gritted her teeth and drew her sword.

With a single slash, all the cannonballs were cut apart, exploding before they could get close to the Pluton.

Momousagi was a bit dazed. When she saw the ship being attacked, for some reason, she just wanted to act without hesitation to block the attack.

In fact, after so many years with the Kuja Pirates, unless Momousagi was completely heartless like Blackbeard, she would inevitably be influenced and develop genuine feelings for the crew.

Most importantly, she knew the Kuja Pirates hadn’t done anything truly evil. Even their captain—Shin Uzumaki—wasn’t nearly as bad as she’d originally thought.

“It’s a Marine Admiral. We need to inform Shin quickly,”

Amatsuki Toki said after spotting the two Marine Admirals.

She immediately realized how serious the situation had become. Just as she was about to use a Den Den Mushi to contact Shin, a figure suddenly charged toward the Marine warship.

“THE CAPTAIN IS HERE,” Kalifa said to Amatsuki Toki.

Of course, that wasn’t the real Shin, just his Wood Clone.

Wood Clones were similar to Shadow Clones, but far more advanced. While Shadow Clones would vanish after taking a single hit, Wood Clones would not.

Additionally, Wood Clones could access some of the original body’s Kekkei Genkai abilities. For instance, they could use Sharingan powers, even the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

However, more powerful abilities like the Nine-Tomoe Rinne-Tenseigan were beyond this Wood Clone’s capabilities.

————

“It’s Shin Uzumaki. Prepare for battle,” Aokiji ordered the Marines behind him.

Akainu had already acted, using Moonwalk to fly towards Shin.

“<Great Eruption!>”

A Giant Magma Fist struck towards Shin. The scorching magma made the seawater evaporate.

Akainu’s punch was enough to destroy several warships, its power terrifying. Few could withstand the temperature of the magma.

However, as the magma fist approached, a pitch-black Susanoo appeared in the air—a Perfect Susanoo, hundred meters tall.

“WHAT?”

Aokiji’s expression changed, somewhat shocked as he looked at the Perfect Susanoo.

What the hell was that?

It was Aokiji’s first time seeing a Susanoo, but he was still shocked by its strength. Because Akainu’s attack hit the Susanoo’s body and couldn’t cause any damage to it.

Even steel warships could be melted, yet it couldn’t break through this armored warrior’s defense.

Aokiji was shocked, Akainu was even more so.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!

Akainu was smashed down by the Susanoo’s punch.

Yes, even though Akainu had a Logia-type Devil Fruit, he couldn’t elementalize to avoid this punch. The reason was simple—the Susanoo’s fist was covered in Armament Haki.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, then Akainu was like a cannonball, smashing into the sea.

Aokiji just stared blankly at Akainu being smashed into the sea. He was one-shotted? That was too clean and neat.

Needless to say, Akainu, who had fallen into the sea had lost his abilities. No matter how powerful a Devil Fruit user was, they would lose their ability to move in the sea.

————

“QUICK, GET AKAINU OUT OF THE WATER,”

Aokiji ordered the Marine soldiers to quickly rescue Akainu. Otherwise, he’d drown in the sea. If any powerful Sea Kings showed up, Akainu could literally become fish food.

Aokiji couldn’t save Akainu in the sea. He could only have the Marine soldiers who hadn’t eaten a Devil Fruit rescue him.

“<Ice Ball!>”

Five streams of cold air shot from Aokiji’s hand, hitting the Susanoo and freezing the massive figure into an ice ball.

“I hope it works.” Aokiji looked at the Susanoo nervously.

However, to Aokiji’s disappointment, it was completely useless. In just a second, the surface of the ice ball was covered in dense cracks.

Finally, the ice ball shattered, and the Susanoo, holding a katana, slashed towards Aokiji.

This katana was bigger than their warship. Aokiji knew very well what the consequences would be if it came down.

“EVERYONE, ABANDON SHIP IMMEDIATELY!”

Aokiji shouted to the Marines on the ship. Staying here meant death. Only by jumping ship could they have a sliver of hope of survival.

As for Aokiji, he used Moonwalk to fly up. Some of the stronger high-ranking officers on the ship also used Moonwalk to fly up.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

The sea was cut in half by a single slash, revealing the seabed. This sword definitely had the power to flatten an island.

“Prepare to retreat.” Aokiji gritted his teeth and ordered.

“But…”

“We can’t win this fight. Akainu is seriously injured, and I’m no match for him on my own. So we retreat.”

Aokiji interrupted them and said again.

Saying “retreat” was putting it nicely. To put it bluntly, it was running away.

After rescuing Akainu, they retreated hastily without any hesitation, which meant they were not participating in this matter anymore.

This could also be considered following Fleet Admiral Sengoku’s orders. He had also said that if they couldn’t win, they shouldn’t force it and should retreat immediately.

Although it was embarrassing to be beaten away as soon as they arrived, it was better to be embarrassed than to die.

Akainu refused to retreat, but the decision was no longer his to make. He was already injured, so naturally they followed Aokiji’s orders instead. When Akainu kept resisting, Aokiji knocked him out cold and dragged him away.

Although this move saved Akainu’s life, knowing his personality, he wouldn’t thank Aokiji for it.

After they left, the Wood Clone dispersed.

Shin, still sitting in the bar, nodded slightly. They’d shown some sense. If they hadn’t, they would’ve been dead.

He swirled the red wine in his glass and looked at the battle outside.
