- GROIKTP Chapter 357
“We… we’re saved…”
“Thank goodness for Admiral Aokiji. The Admiral is truly reliable!”
“Yeah! We almost died there!”
…
The guards of Impel Down, seeing the tsunami crisis resolved by Admiral Aokiji, all showed relieved smiles.
However.
After landing, Aokiji’s expression was quite serious.
Before, when Whitebeard hadn’t made a move, they could still hold off the captains.
But now that Whitebeard was preparing to act, they definitely couldn’t hold him back.
After all, he was the “Strongest Man in the World!”
Magellan stepped forward, approaching Aokiji to ask a question.
“Hey, Admiral Aokiji, when will Fleet Admiral Akainu come to support us?” Magellan asked, panting heavily.
Hearing this, Aokiji frowned.
It was a question he wanted to ask as well.
Akainu had taken so many elite fighters to deal with just one Mondo—how could it be taking so long?
The Sabaody Archipelago isn’t even that far from here!
Could something have gone wrong?
Aokiji even wondered if Akainu was settling personal grudges and deliberately not coming to their aid, hoping to trap him.
But this thought was immediately dismissed by Aokiji.
Having worked with Akainu for so many years, Aokiji had a good understanding of Akainu’s character.
They might have different philosophies, and Akainu might be extreme, but he would never let personal grudges interfere to the point of ignoring the Navy’s plan.
While Aokiji was pondering this.
Suddenly.
A Navy captain came running over in a panic.
“Admiral Aokiji, urgent news! The fleet sent to the Sabaody Archipelago has been almost completely wiped out…”
“What?!”
Aokiji was stunned and quickly asked, “What happened? Did the other Four Emperors join the ambush?”
“No, Admiral, it was Mondo alone who destroyed the entire fleet.”
“According to the reports from the front lines, the madman Mondo is extremely powerful, possessing six or seven Devil Fruit abilities and capable of summoning tsunamis. He is a genuine monster…”
Upon hearing this, Aokiji’s expression immediately became grave.
“Ara ara, this is really bad news!”
Beside him, Magellan was also taken aback.
“Six or seven Devil Fruit abilities? How is that even possible?”
At that moment.
From the distant Moby Dick, Whitebeard’s hearty laughter could be heard.
“Gurarararara… That boy Mondo, he’s quite reliable!”
Clearly, Whitebeard had also received the latest news of the Navy’s severe losses.
The next moment.
Whitebeard jumped off his ship and shouted, “Men, come with me, and let’s rescue Ace!”
“Rescue Ace!”
“Rescue Ace!”
“Rescue Ace!”
Countless members of the Whitebeard Pirates responded enthusiastically.
Seeing this, both Aokiji and Magellan’s faces turned grim.
“Aokiji, what should we do?”
Aokiji thought for a long time before seriously saying, “Warden Magellan, I suggest we hand over Ace. Without reinforcements, we have no way to resist this man.”
“Also, the situation with Mondo has me worried for the Navy. I want to go to the Sabaody Archipelago as soon as possible to check things out!”
Magellan fell silent upon hearing this.
He knew Aokiji was speaking the truth.
The two of them could not hold off the Whitebeard Pirates.
Since the outcome was already certain, it would be better to act quickly to avoid further losses to Impel Down.
If the Whitebeard Pirates were allowed to break into the prison and cause havoc, the damage would be immense.
Releasing a few of the most dangerous criminals would cause even more chaos!
With that in mind, Magellan immediately decided to take Aokiji’s advice and hand Ace over to Whitebeard in exchange for the safety of Impel Down.
When Magellan conveyed this to Whitebeard, it made Whitebeard burst into hearty laughter.
Ace was instantly rescued!
In the original storyline of the Marineford War, Whitebeard, in order to save Ace, led the pirates in a direct confrontation with the entire Navy. The final outcome was the death of both Whitebeard and Ace at Navy headquarters.
The Whitebeard Pirates also suffered heavy losses, nearly disbanding on the spot.
But now, under the influence of Chen Ye, none of this was going to happen…
History.
Had taken a drastic turn here, becoming unrecognizable.
“Father!!”
Newly freed, Ace saw Whitebeard and was overjoyed.
“Gurararara… Ace, welcome home!” Whitebeard laughed.
Ace was moved. “Father, you went to the trouble of bringing everyone to rescue me; I’m truly…”
“Ace!”
Marco stepped forward, hugging Ace’s shoulder, and laughed, “You’re our captain; of course, Dad would come to rescue you!”
“Th-thank you, everyone…”
Ace was deeply moved, his voice choking with emotion.
But Whitebeard said, “Ace, the one you really need to thank is that boy, Mondo!”
“Mondo?”
Ace was puzzled, not recognizing the name, and couldn’t help but ask, “Is he a new son of yours, Father?”
Whitebeard laughed loudly, “I’m afraid I’m not qualified to have him join us!”
“What?”
Ace was stunned.
He wanted to know who Mondo was, to have made Whitebeard say such a thing?
At that moment, Whitebeard suddenly turned his gaze into the distance and asked loudly, “Boy Kuzan, where are you planning to go?”
Aokiji replied, “Whitebeard, now that Ace has been handed over to you, isn’t that enough?”
“Heh! Mondo told me to buy some time for you…” Whitebeard said with a sly smile, looking at Aokiji. “So, boy Kuzan, you better stay here and not go anywhere!”
Hearing this, Aokiji’s face grew even longer.
“It looks like a major event is about to happen!” Aokiji muttered, filled with concern.
Ace was even more confused.
He desperately wanted to know who this Mondo was to have Whitebeard acting on his behalf.
…
Sabaody Archipelago.
A fierce battle was once again underway.
“Ryusei Kazan!”
Akainu roared, his arms turning into magma, launching fiery meteors into the sky, which then fell toward the sea.
It was like a massive volcanic eruption!
The entire sea almost seemed like it was about to turn into a sea of fire.
It was like doomsday!
Such an attack could easily wipe out an entire army.
But for Chen Ye, it was just a minor inconvenience!
Not only did he have formidable defense, but he could also withstand high temperatures (thanks to the flame resistance passive).
It could be said that among Garp, Akainu, and Fujitora, Akainu’s abilities posed the least threat to Chen Ye.
“Akainu, try this move of mine!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ye swung his trident powerfully.
Immediately.
The surging waves churned, and a massive whirlpool rapidly took shape…
