Chapter 18 Defeat
Naval Headquarters Marineford
The navy officers with the rank of vice admiral and above, as well as the Sengoku marshal and the naval heroes, were all anxiously sitting in the military intelligence room, watching the desperate battle between Admiral Sakaski and Buggy the Clown through Morgans' exclusive live broadcast.
"Why hasn't the Den Den Mushi signal been cut off yet? Now the whole world is laughing at our navy."
The Navy is the most powerful violent agency on the planet, but it has to rely on the World Government for intelligence. It has a large number of cannon fodder soldiers, but special talents are very rare.
For example, Morgans' live broadcast signal is now beyond the control of the navy on the scene. In such a dangerous battle, the signal can be kept uninterrupted and the battle scene can be clearly transmitted to the entire planet, but the Navy Headquarters can't do this.
The images captured by the Navy's own camera bugs are not as clear as the newspaper king's live broadcast. It would be better to watch this century's battle directly through live broadcast. It would be embarrassing to tell such a thing to others.
"I never thought that this little brat Akainu would have such a hard time fighting."
In such a serious occasion, Vice Admiral Garp, a hero of the navy, had no intention of joking with Marshal Sengoku. His own admiral was fighting a pirate so fiercely that he didn't even want to eat senbei. He didn't have the appetite today.
"Borsalino is the fastest in the navy. I have sent him to reinforce Sakaski. I never thought that a pirate from the East China Sea would have to send out two generals from the headquarters."
Ever since the Battle of Kamiya, the navy has been crushing pirates all over the world except for the second half of the Grand Line. Is this situation going to end in the hands of Sengoku?
The East China Sea is known as the weakest sea among the four seas, and the greatest credit goes to Vice Admiral Garp. Every year when he takes a vacation, he returns to his hometown, Windmill Town, and he would plow through the pirates in the East China Sea. Later, Smoker moved into Rogue Town, making it even more difficult for the pirate groups from the East China Sea to enter the Grand Line.
But the most ironic thing is that it was in the East China Sea that such a capable pirate was hidden. Buggy the Clown not only slapped Smoker in the face, but also slapped the face of the navy hero. The efforts of the old and the young for more than 20 years were all wasted in a live broadcast.
"Zhan Guo, please let me go back and put an end to the East China Sea issue."
The navy heroes return to the East China Sea. The first thing they have to do is to solve the big trouble of Buggy the Clown, and the second is to capture their grandson Luffy. He is still wandering around the Grand Line. There may be no problem before the sky curtain appears, but now the situation is chaotic and many things are out of control.
Garp could feel that troubled times were approaching, and some unreasonable things were completely out of the control of the navy. If Luffy was not by his side, he might not be able to protect his grandson. Although he had seen many cases of the elderly sending the young away, he didn't want it to happen to him.
"Vice Admiral Garp needs you at the Navy Headquarters. New intelligence has come from the maritime surveillance ship. Red-haired Shanks is meeting with Whitebeard. We must be on guard against the two emperors joining forces."
Marshal Sengoku cannot let his old friend act willfully this time. Not only do they have to protect the Naval Headquarters, but they also have to protect the nearby World Government and Judicial Island. The burden is very heavy.
"Oh no, Admiral Akainu is in danger."
"This is impossible. Sakaski will never lose."
Amid the Vice Admiral's discussion, everyone's attention was once again focused on the live broadcast.
The entire scene of the Rogue Town Naval Branch has been covered by lava. If it were anyone else, they would have nowhere to stay. This little thing would not be a problem for Buggy the Clown.
The ability of the "Shattered Fruit" to decompose has been surrounding his body. The magma where his feet are standing is completely decomposed and cannot hurt him at all. Maintaining the ability of the fruit does consume some physical strength.
On the other hand, Sakaski was like a fish in the sea. He swam through the lava sea and kept fighting with Buggy the clown in close combat, always looking for the flaws in his fruit. The admiral's sufficient physical strength could support him to fight for several more days and nights.
The headquarters' elite navy has retreated to the warships, and the survivors of the Joker Pirates have fled to Rogue Town for refuge. Both sides know that they cannot help their boss, and can only watch the other side decide the outcome from a distance.
"Why don't you call yourself the strongest creature? You took several of my punches and you still have the ability to stand up."
Admiral Akainu could only take on the Conqueror's Haki Entanglement technique head-on, but he managed to withstand every wave of powerful attacks. Even though his internal organs were severely damaged, he was still able to fight. What a terrifying monster.
"Your decomposition ability still has limitations. There are pauses between releasing powerful moves, and this gap is getting longer and longer. Your physical strength is about to collapse. When you can no longer use that power, it will be the time for you to die."
Sakaski's fighting talent is really enviable. He actually figured out the weakness of the Split Devil Fruit. Buggy the Clown's decomposition ability seems unsolvable, but every time it is used, it consumes a lot of physical strength, which is the most fatal weakness of the pirate.
"I didn't expect you to figure it out. You are worthy of being the admiral of the navy. I have no choice but to take real action."
The power of the Shattered Devil Fruit flows in the body of Buggy the Clown. He wants Sakaski to witness with his own eyes the true power of the Devil Fruit.
"Let's see how many more moves you can make, Big Fire Breathing"
A simple and crude method, like a huge amount of magma erupting like a volcano, Sakaski wanted to use this method to consume the opponent's physical strength.
"Devil Fruit Released, True-Split into Pieces"
This sudden and terrifying move instantly split the magma created by the giant flamethrower. Sakaski wrapped his entire body with high-level armament domineering, trying to use his previous experience to resist this decomposition force.
“No, this is impossible.”
Admiral Akainu, whose entire body was originally translucent black, had high-level armament Haki, but this time it was completely ineffective in the face of that decomposition ability, which could even shatter a person's Haki into pieces.
Sakaski, who had lost the defense of Armament Haki, took the initiative to elementalize his body to resist the terrible force of decomposition. What greeted him next was a big, thick black fist.
"God's Split"
Buggy the Clown, who had the advantage of height, punched Admiral Akainu on the head with his right fist, which was entangled with top-level domineering domineering and high-level armament domineering domineering. The opponent temporarily lost his domineering ability, and this punch directly knocked the admiral into the ground.
This shocking punch pierced through the naval branch and sent the admiral who had eaten the natural devil fruit into the sea, allowing Sakaski to save his energy to play with the sea water.
If it were the Navy Headquarters Marinford, they could dig a tunnel through the lava and come back, but the land of this Navy branch is relatively thin, so Admiral Akainu lost this opportunity.
"Looks like I won, hahahaha"
The final winner of this battle, Buggy the Clown, stood still, and the live broadcast of his unbridled laughter was transmitted to the whole world through the Newspaper King's camera bug.
The admiral of the navy was actually defeated by a pirate. This was a major event that shocked the world...
