Chapter 430 Who will fall for this cheap provocation?

"Akainu"

Although there was only one person, Akainu made the pirates who wanted to break through stop one after another. He was the man who could open a hole in Whitebeard and fight Whitebeard head-on until now.

The pirates may hate Akainu, but they cannot deny his strength. Squard was able to successfully backstab Whitebeard because Whitebeard was not prepared for his sons from beginning to end.

He did not believe that his son would backstab him. If it were not for this reason, few people in the Whitebeard Pirates could cause harm to Whitebeard.

When Ace was defeated by Whitebeard, he attacked Whitebeard many times. Whether in his sleep or at other times, Ace could not cause any harm to Whitebeard.

As the core of the Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard himself was covering for other pirates. The pirates who lost their backbone were a little confused for a while and did not know what to do.

However, this solemnity was soon broken.

There is a special group among the pirates - the greenheads.

This kind of pirates are widely found in the four seas, and they think they are invincible and that dominating the Grand Line is just a matter of waving their hands.

And such pirates are generally the most miserable, and very few of them can successfully enter the Grand Line.

If the lucky surviving rookies survive successfully for a period of time in the first half of the Grand Line, there is a high probability that they will evolve into super rookies, thinking that the Four Emperors are nothing special, and they can kick Kaido and punch Whitebeard after entering the New World.

And the best outcome for such people is to be defeated and incorporated by the Four Emperors, or to survive in the corner of the New World with missing limbs.

Entering the New World does not mean the end of the rookies' career. After joining the Four Emperors, they will have the idea that they are invincible with the Four Emperors behind them.

It is these rookies who break this deadlock.

"Don't be afraid! He has fought with Dad for so long, and now he is just a spent force!"

"He is only one person! Are we going to let him stop here alone? Don't forget Dad's order, return to the New World alive! We are only one step away from success, kill him!"

With the leader, some pirates rushed to Akainu first. Marco, who came from behind, was too late to stop them. He could only watch these people launch a suicidal charge towards Akainu fearlessly.

Mere courage cannot change the outcome. Akainu is indeed not in his prime now. Even the old Whitebeard is a big threat to Akainu, but these ordinary pirates are not Whitebeard.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Akainu now is not something they can bully.

"Ashes and lava flow!"

The lava river behind Akainu began to boil, and thick black smoke seeped out from the flowing lava. This is volcanic gas with a pungent smell of sulfur, accompanied by extremely high temperatures, which makes people feel uncomfortable even when breathing.

The pirates who first attacked Akainu were also swallowed by the surging lava river, with only a few black ashes proving that they had existed.

"The son of Roger, the Pirate King, the son of the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and the chief of staff of the Revolutionary Army. The three of you brothers are all burdened with boundless sins. Your existence is a provocation to justice. Today, I will destroy you all here!

Big fire!"

The lava flowing everywhere gathered on Akainu's arm, and a large lava hand grabbed the people in front of him directly.

"Gear 3! Rubber"

"Luffy, get out of my way! This is not someone you can deal with!"

"He's right, this time you just watch behind us honestly! Fire Fist!"

People who are not good at domineering have no way to deal with natural ability users.

The Dark-Dark Fruit has no elemental ability, the Sand-Sand Fruit cannot be elementalized when it comes into contact with water, the Thunder Fruit is ineffective against rubber, the Flame-Flame Fruit is his own brother, and the Smoke Fruit has not kept up with the version, but it can still control Luffy in the early stage.

These are the natural ability users that Luffy encountered in the early stage of the original timeline. Among the three admirals, Kuzan's body can freeze people, and Kizaru will not cause harm if he simply transforms into an element. Only Akainu is a monster with high-temperature armor.

Ordinary people will only hurt themselves when attacking Akainu. The Conqueror's Haki can be awakened after stimulation under the right circumstances, but the Armament Haki cannot. If Luffy now punches him, he will really follow the footsteps of Red Hair.

Sabo and Ace's cooperation is obviously more tacit. Sabo pressed Luffy's head down, and Ace used a fire fist to face Akainu's fist.

But facing the magma, Ace is not dominant, whether in terms of strength or other aspects. The flame is being suppressed by Akainu bit by bit.

"Let's go! Immortal Thistle!"

"Shining·Clash!"

"Rose Dance!"

Blue flames danced on the battlefield, and Marco's wings ignited with the flame of regeneration, and he used his wings as a shield to cross in front of Akainu.

Although his attack power was somewhat lacking, Marco's defense and recovery were also top-notch. Relying on his fruit ability, he could withstand all kinds of attacks, whether it was Jin's Fire Dragon King or Kaido's heat breath, he could defend against it for a short time.

Although the burning of the magma made Marco retreat, he at least resisted it.

At the same time, petals were flying on the battlefield, and the cold light was sharp. Vista's double swords and Joz's collision hit Akainu from both sides at the same time, making several gaps in his magma body.

"Huh, did you use Haki? But that's all, Big Fire!"

Akainu's body was recovering slowly. Jozu and Vista's attacks seemed fierce, but they did not cause any substantial effect. Akainu had already predicted their attacks with his observation Haki, and then he elementalized that part of his body in advance to get out of the way.

This is the most difficult part for natural ability users. If the foundation of observation Haki is not enough, it is difficult to cause effective damage. If you can't catch their bodies, no matter how much you hit them, it will be ineffective paper damage.

As the three admirals, their observation Haki is naturally qualified. The same is true for Aokiji's ability to avoid Whitebeard's slash.

After avoiding the attacks of several people without injury, Akainu's body spewed out a lot of magma like a crater, forcing several people around him to retreat.

At the same time, the ground suddenly trembled. Akainu didn't care about this at first. Whitebeard was still working with Golden Lion to deal with Kuzan, Kizaru, Sengoku and several vice admirals.

The Golden Lion can fly, so Whitebeard doesn't need to consider his teammates. He is madly launching earthquakes in that area. It is inevitable that aftershocks will affect this area. But soon, Akainu found a ship advancing here.

The Whitebeard Pirates still have a ship hidden underwater. Originally, Whitebeard planned to use this ship to break through the navy's encirclement wall, but the appearance of the Golden Lion made Whitebeard change his plan and gave the ship new room to play.

Relying on the huge outer wheel, the ship did not stop at all, but rushed straight to the land. It was Squard who led the ship.

"Everyone! Run away! The rest is left to us!!"

"Squard! What are you going to do, you idiot?! Didn't you hear your father's order!"

"I heard it, but let me be willful this time! I want to atone for my actions! Let me cover your retreat!"

Behind Squard are members of the Great Whirlpool Spider Pirates. They also violated Squard's orders and chose to die with their captain.

The huge ship rushed towards Akainu without stopping.

"That's a natural ability user! You're just going to die!"

"I know, but everyone, trust me again! For the last time!"

It is undoubtedly extremely stupid to use this kind of attack on the natural ability user. This pure physical attack can't cause effective damage to the natural ability user. Squard certainly knows that he took so long to appear, not without reason.

"Get ready!"

The Akainu below did not choose to evade, but swung his fist at the charging pirate ship. He could choose to dodge, but if he dodges now, the ship will rush over directly, which is equivalent to letting them go.

In order to intercept all these pirates, Akainu chose to face them head-on, but just as Akainu's fist was swung, the hull in front of the ship suddenly broke apart when it approached Akainu.

A large amount of seawater gushed out from it, adding a layer of seawater shield to the hull.

No matter what kind of ship it is, the problem of water entering the cabin needs to be considered, especially the large ships in the Whitebeard Pirates. The weather and sea conditions on the Grand Line are unpredictable, and no matter how good the navigator and helmsman are, they cannot guarantee 100% safety.

It is inevitable to run aground on a reef, and the watertight compartment technology was born for this reason. The cabin is divided into small rooms by wooden boards. Even if there is damage, as long as that compartment is blocked, the ship can sail as usual.

Some cleverly designed ships can still sail normally even if half of the cabin is flooded.

Squard just chiseled open several cabins and filled them with seawater before launching a surprise attack on Akainu.

The gushing sea current is like a waterfall. The contact between the cold seawater and the hot magma flow produces a lot of steam, which also cools and solidifies the hot magma into pieces of magma.

Then the ship continued to rush forward without any stagnation until it got stuck on the magma river and created a temporary bridge.

"Let's go! Go back to the New World!"

Squard opened a way for the pirates to survive in this way, and even gave people the illusion that Akainu had been killed. The pirates didn't know where Akainu went, but they still rushed out along the ship.

As a navy admiral, Akainu would certainly not be killed by Squard in this way, but because he had been fighting with Whitebeard and had consumed a lot of physical strength, Squard had a chance.

The seawater in the cabin could not directly extinguish the magma river, but only slowed down the burning rate. At this time, the bottom was already burning, but Squard kept guarding the ship and let others go first.

Seeing that most people had passed this "ship bridge", Squard still had no intention of evacuating, but wanted to help Whitebeard, even if he could block a knife for Whitebeard, he had to atone for his sins.

But at this time, Akainu rushed up from under the deck again.

If it was Kuzan, he only needed to make a slight move to freeze the seawater directly, but Akainu could only use magma to offset it.

Even though he was a navy admiral, he couldn't get rid of the weakness of the devil fruit. At most, he had a stronger resistance. If he was soaked in water, Akainu would still be weak.

"Dog bites red lotus!"

Akainu rushed out of the deck and pierced Squard's heart with one blow. The escaping magma also burned the pirates who had not yet passed the bridge, but Akainu was not satisfied.

Due to the delay of Squard, many pirates who rushed into the square escaped.

"You set a trick for me."

"Same here, I regret not being able to kill you, the magma bastard"

"Heh, if you really trust Whitebeard, how could you be shaken by my words? It's all your own fault."

"You poof!"

Squard was thrown aside by Akainu before he finished speaking. Akainu has hated pirates since he was a child. He said these two sentences just because he wanted Squard to die in regret.

He didn't want to see a pirate leave with satisfaction, even if it was a dead end.

"Retreat immediately after rescuing Fire Fist Ace, and even abandon the companions who were left behind. The Whitebeard Pirates are really a group of cowards!"

Akainu's words were clearly heard by the fleeing pirates, and many of them turned back to look at Akainu, but at this point, there were still many calm people.

"Don't fall for such a blatant provocation! Think about why Dad did this! Think about Squard's choice! If you turn back now, you will disappoint their hopes!"

"But the captain is a man of that kind, and there is nothing we can do about it. In the end, Whitebeard is just a loser from the last era."

Akainu's tone was very light, but his words were even more "harsh". Anyone who was not a fool could tell that this was Akainu's provocation, but this inferior provocation would still make some people fall for it.

"What did you say? Take it back!"

"Take it back? Never. Your father Gol D. Roger conquered the Grand Line and opened a chaotic era called the Great Pirate Era with his life. As a navy, I shouldn't say this, but he really deserves the title of Pirate King.

Compared with Roger, what is Whitebeard? Does he really have the courage to fight Roger to the death? Hide in a safe place and be your own sea king.

There are many idiots in the world who use the name of Whitebeard to protect the safety of some islands, but in my opinion, it's just to subdue some insignificant pirates, and use this title to be a hero, which is really ridiculous.

He has been dominating the sea for decades but can't be the king, and has accomplished nothing. He can only do this kind of house trick. He is really a poor loser!"

From Ace's resistance to his identity in the pre-war speech, Akainu can see a lot of things. At this distance, if they want to run, Akainu really has no way. Those captains are not strong enough for Akainu, but they also need to work hard.

There were two real monsters making a scene behind him, and he needed help as well. But with just a few words, Akainu forced Ace to turn back.
