Chapter Seventy-One: Each Mind Alone

The current battle situation was so fierce, full of dying and struggling people everywhere, Chu Zhi watched everything coldly, and a sneer couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth. Everything in front of him is already under his control, like the fine lines in the palm of his hand, and everything can be easily observed.

It's all so simple, and it's so full of passion, and the people who have come after each other are fighting desperately, and the shouts of killing are constantly resounding on this huge battlefield. People followed one after another, whether it was the navy or the pirates, and their own roars kept coming, and life seemed to become small at this moment.

The first captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco, who possessed the fruit of the Phantom Beast Immortal Bird, rose into the air and rushed directly towards the admiral Qingzhi in the sky.

I saw that this pirate, no matter what damage he received, roared angrily, his arms and shoulders turned into wings of flames, and rushed directly into the sky.

"Ice World!"

Admiral Qingzhi raised his hand unhurriedly, and in an instant, a cold air emanated from his palm, and the tide behind him rose in an instant. Listening to the loud bang, layer after layer of huge ice walls appeared in front of Qingzhi's body.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Layer after layer of ice walls were broken, and ice chips scattered and whistled out like snowflakes in winter. Marco, who rose into the air, sneered, and walked directly through the middle of the hall. Marco is worthy of being a Phantom Beast Fruit with the legendary Devil Fruit. Even if it was directly through this layer of ice, it would only be a slight dissipation of the fire crow on his body.

Perfunctory. That's the state of affairs for Marco at the moment. His flames were still rising above him, and his strength had not been damaged in the slightest. For Marco, the planning of all the battles was already well understood. At the beginning, with the help of the influence of penetrating the ice, he relied on his immortal bird ability to drag the admiral Qingzhi.

"Yo yo yo...... It's really troublesome......" Admiral Yellow Ape, who looked like an elderly office worker, said slowly, wearing a crisp yellow suit. I saw him first touch his chin full of scum, and then looked up at the immortal bird Marco who was in the air, "I'll kick it first." ”

The yellow ape is also one of the three major admirals of the Navy. It can be said that the strength is on par with the other two admirals, Akaiu and Qingzhi, and there are even some in the naval headquarters that the strength of the yellow ape is above the other two generals. After all, for the more specific fruit abilities that two people like Qingzhi and Akainu have, the Devil Fruit called Light is the most confusing. In some ways, the more specific the Devil Fruit's abilities are, the weaker his potential is in some ways. This is also why animal-based Devil Fruits are the most common, but they are generally weaker than the other two Devil Fruits.

Turning his gaze back to the battlefield, Marco, who was using the Immortal Bird Fruit, the most powerful of the Devil Fruits, had just passed through the ice wall created by the Child.

And Chu Zhi, who was far away in the command room of the Navy Headquarters, only had a slight hint at the corner of his mouth, and a mocking smile had already appeared on the corner of Chu Zhi's mouth.

"This is the moment."

Chu Zhi's voice was full of unspeakable mockery. It seems to be mocking the unwisdom of this undead bird called Malke. After all, in Chu Zhi's opinion......

"Immortal birds also die. As long as the method is correct, who in the world but oneself will not end up with a dead death? ”

Thinking of this, Chu Zhi looked into the distance with cold eyes. He clearly knew one thing, although the current battle situation was extremely anxious, it was still not the best time to choose a surprise attack. The Whitebeard Pirates have yet to clear a path that leads directly to Ace's execution platform. In other words......

Now Liu Mengchao and his party will not appear now.

"It's so lonely."

Chu Zhi couldn't help but say with emotion. I saw him slowly raise his hand, and at this moment, the original yellow ape's casual eyes became fierce in an instant. I saw the admiral's foot kick on the ground, and it dissipated into the air with a bang. The name of the Devil Fruit possessed by the Yellow Ape is called the Sparkling Fruit. Maybe in some ways it's the same grade as Whitebeard's Shock Fruit.

The Sparkling Fruit is the ability to harness the power of light. And the fastest thing in the world is probably light. At the beginning of the sound, the light is already able to loop dozens of times within a person's line of sight. And now the situation is like this, as soon as the yellow ape's voice fell, he had already disappeared from his original position.

The speed of the glittering fruit is so amazing. Not only surprisingly fast, but also amazingly powerful. In some ways, when the speed of light becomes an attack, it can generate enough force to make everyone despair.

"Whoosh!" 、

A straight ray of light streaked through the air. It was as if someone had shot a straight sword. Marco, who was originally in mid-air, watched as a ray of light penetrated his chest in an instant, and in the next second, the yellow ape's feet had already appeared in front of Malke.

"Bang!"

The footprints were heavily reflected on Marco's chest. The person with the ability of an immortal bird lost his strength directly in the air, and fell directly from the sky like a bird without wings.

This is just a scene on the battlefield, although he was kicked by the yellow ape and fell from the air, but no matter what kind of injuries he received, as long as there is still fire, the characteristic of being able to regenerate and recover made Marko stand on the ground again. His whole body shook a little, as if he hadn't sorted out his bearings yet.

"The pace is really slow."

These were the words that came out of Chu Zhi's lips, who had witnessed the scene at this moment. Standing in front of the window with a sneer, looking at the downed Marko, he slowly stretched out his hand.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― "It's already off!" ”

In the distance, the Navy Headquarters Marin Ford was in full swing, and even Liu Mengchao and his party, who were standing on the Navy warship, could feel the courage transmitted from the time when they were constantly colliding with each other and fighting in the distance. This courage is so amazing that people subconsciously stop their steps, hold their breath, and can only powerlessly let their hearts beat thumping in this time.

"I don't know how the battle is going." Lu Luxiu stood beside Liu Mengchao and said slowly, "If it is related to the original plot. The strength of the Whitebeard Pirates is still at a disadvantage. ”

This is Lelouch's inference. Originally, the battle between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy Headquarters over Ace was not a wise choice. Or rather, the Whitebeard Pirates have already fallen into a situation where they will be defeated from the beginning. First of all, in the selection of the place to start the war, it did not choose a relatively fair battlefield, but directly opened a station on the battlefield chosen by the Navy Headquarters.

This will obviously have a result.

The people of the Navy Headquarters will be fighting on their home turf, and no matter what happens, they will not necessarily appear to be panicked. After all, being able to fight at the Navy's headquarters in Marineford already gives you a home-field advantage.

On the other hand......

"If MR.3 and his party hadn't directly stopped the executioners, I'm afraid that the Whitebeard Pirates would have just started the war, and they would only be able to watch Firefist Ace die in front of them with weakness. After all. Wearing sea-cut stone handcuffs on his wrists, Ace has no resistance at all. ”

This is Liu Mengchao's inference, but as soon as the words fell, a somewhat helpless expression appeared on Liu Mengchao's face again, "But this is the helpless choice of the Whitebeard Pirates." Or that they can only choose to fight on the battlefield of Marinford, which they should already know, or at least Whitebeard should be a little clearer......"

Liu Mengchao didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was already very obvious. Listening to Liu Mengchao's words, Lu Luxiu and L nodded slightly, while Liu Ling on the other side also nodded in the same way.

"That's true. For the Whitebeard Pirates, they don't have any way out. If Whitebeard Pirates' second team, Fire Fist Ace, is allowed to die in Marinford, their Whitebeard Pirates' prestige will be ruined. Moreover, don't go to the fire fist Ace. Fire Fist Ace is bound to die. But if you go to fight Fire Fist Ace......"

"If you go to save Fire Fist Ace, Fire Fist Ace will not necessarily die. Because the target of the naval headquarters is not the so-called Fire Fist Ace ......"

"Killing two birds with one stone, that's what the Navy Headquarters wants to achieve."

L sneered and softly added what Liu Ling had not finished speaking.

"They have already calculated that the leader of the Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard, will not leave his subordinates behind. , so that their true purpose will be revealed. ”

"Whitebeard. This is the only one that is the target of the Navy Headquarters, with the help of Fire Fist Ace as a decoy. Lure Whitebeard, who lurked in the second half of the Great Voyage, to come out of the nest, and with the advantage of geographical advantages, favorable terrain and manpower, he captured the Whitebeard Pirates, and took Whitebeard's life by the way. Gao Xiaowan's voice also sounded at this time, "Whitebearded Edwards is a pirate on the same level as One Piece Roger, in other words, his death can also represent the passing of this era." If the strength of the Navy Headquarters is strong enough, it will be easy to take Whitebeard's life on top of this pinnacle battle, or with few casualties, it will naturally be able to deter another large group of pirates who have little strength. ”

"There is no influx of pirates with fresh blood, and on the other side is the naval headquarters whose prestige has suddenly risen because of the Battle of the Summit, and they still hope for the end of the Age of Discovery." Liu Mengchao said slowly, "But I think their wishful thinking is too shrewd. ”

This is Liu Mengchao's opinion, or rather, the conclusion that Liu Mengchao can draw after analyzing Whitebeard's behavior in detail in the Battle of the Summit. ,

"Whitebeard himself is already riddled with diseases, and his strength is far less than when he was able to compete with One Piece Roger in the Death of the Sea, which is why the Navy Headquarters dared to provoke Whitebeard. They treated Whitebeard, the overlord of the sea, as a sick and decrepit tiger, hoping to reap the greatest benefit from the death of the sick tiger. ”

"But they should also pay attention," Liu Mengchao said, raising his head, looking at Ma Linfu, the battle-torn naval headquarters in the distance, and said with a smile, "Whitebeard also has his own plans. ”

"Since you're not long gone, why can't you start a great era like One Piece Roger. Navy Headquarters hopes to use Whitebeard's death to bring the sea to a slow stop, but this will only end up being the opposite of what they expected. Lelouch said, his eyes couldn't help but gather, and even his voice seemed to become a little heavy, "And I think for Whitebeard, if everything goes well, they are not without the ability to rescue Fire Fist Ace, in other words, if they can rescue Fire Fist Ace, Whitebeard is actually ready to die in Marineford." ”

"As for Fire Fist Ace's somewhat distorted psychology, I think Whitebeard should have noticed it early on." Gao Xiaowan on the other side chuckled lightly and continued, "If the three Luffy brothers, Sabo, Fire Fist Ace, and Luffy represent different forces, they represent the bets chosen by three different people. One Piece Roger was the first to roll his dice, causing his heir, the red-haired Shanks, to give the straw hat to Luffy. ”

On the other hand, Whitebeard and Fire Fist Ace, who also have no family, or long for the warmth of family, are also in the same vein. Whitebeard also inherits his dream, or hopes that Fire Fist Ace will continue. In any way, the most charismatic person in the Whitebeard Pirates, and the person who can comprehend the ability of the overlord color domineering, is Fire Fist Ace. L continued Gao Xiaowan's words and said, "I think although Whitebeard didn't say anything, he actually regarded Fire Fist Ace as his heir. ”

"And after experiencing the death of Whitebeard in the Battle of the Peak, Fire Fist Ace will naturally be more mature, and will be able to carry the Whitebeard Pirates forward with his personality charm and burning fruit. This is Whitebeard's overall plan. Liu Ling stroked his long black hair and said with a smile, "He may have already made a plan in his heart to use his death to promote the growth of Fire Fist Ace." ”

"One ring is linked to the other, and both sides have their own plans." Liu Mengchao said slowly, turning his head around, looking at Gao Xiaowan and said slowly, "I think, our plan should be like this, right?" ”

"It's going to be beyond everyone's expectations, I have a hunch."

Gao Xiaowan smiled and nodded. (To be continued......)
