As soon as he finished speaking, Acnologia's voice came from behind Susanoo.
"Good heavens, Madara, are you cursing me to die???"
As the voice rang out, Acnologia landed on Susanoo's shoulder in the next second.
Madara Uchiha glanced at him speechlessly, but didn't explain much. He calmly said, "The person you were dealing with has come to my side."
“I saw it, that’s why I caught up with him. That guy’s abilities are a bit tricky, he just tricked me,” Acnologia explained.
"····".
"You've been tricked??? I just said I'd let you do it, but you insisted on beating Acnologia."
"Don't try to fool me, Madara." Acnologia said nonchalantly.
Seeing that Madara Uchiha was still talking to Acnologia, Rocks seized the opportunity and quickly spoke to Whitebeard.
"Edward, now's your chance, make your move!"
"I see."
Whitebeard nodded in response, then put the naginata back on his back and began to swing his fists.
"Crack!"
The air barrier around the fist instantly cracked with spiderweb-like fissures, but as the fist retracted, the shattered air barrier vanished in an instant.
What followed was a continuous flight of birds and beasts from afar.
But Whitebeard showed no sign of stopping, continuing to swing his fist, retract it, swing his fist, retract it... and when he had just swung his fist five times, the effect was finally achieved.
The ground began to shake violently, the earth cracked open, and seawater rushed out from the giant fissure, spreading at an extremely rapid pace.
"What...what's going on??"
The Marines who were fighting right next to Whitebeard were instantly dumbfounded.
"The earth... the earth has cracked open??? This is Edward Newgate's Devil Fruit power." The Rocks Pirates members recognized the power at a glance.
"Even so, although it was caused by our side, it's still disadvantageous to us," another pirate said in a deep voice, his face ashen.
However, to be fair, it is indeed as he said. Whitebeard's moves are somewhat similar to the principle of "harming the enemy a thousand while harming eight hundred of your own." Although it can deal with the Navy, at the same time, your own people will also suffer the same fate.
Suddenly, at that moment, the sky turned gloomy.
Everyone looked up and instantly, both ordinary pirates and marines collapsed to the ground, paralyzed.
Yes, what appeared in the sky was not a giant warship, nor a giant, but... a tsunami.
The enormous waves, like a gaping maw, were about to engulf the island.
"It's over...it's over! I'm going to die at the hands of that Edward Newgate guy!!!" one of the pirates, who was slumped on the ground, shouted angrily.
"Edward...you bastard!!!"
···
In contrast, Madara Uchiha only paused slightly, his expression not changing much.
"This guy... he really is a madman. Is he trying to take us all down with him?"
Madara Uchiha glanced at the falling waves above his head, then at the smiling white beard on the ground, and finally a change appeared in his expression.
"I think they're more likely trying to use the earthquake and tsunami as cover to escape, since they already know his plan. How can I just stand by and watch?"
Acnologia left a message, and the next second, he leaped into the air, rushing towards Whitebeard at incredible speed.
"drink!"
Whitebeard swung his fists again, and a shockwave shot directly towards Acnologia.
Acnologia remained calm, adjusting his position in mid-air to dodge the shockwave, and continued charging towards Whitebeard.
However, the next second, a huge wave crashed down.
"Splash, splash..."
"Splash, splash..."
The massive wave instantly swallowed most of the island, and in an instant, all the noise disappeared, replaced only by the sound of the sea.
Moreover, the waves are rushing towards the other island, and it's only a matter of time before the entire island is swallowed up.
After a while, the turbulent sea gradually calmed down. The island was gone, leaving only a vast expanse of sea. On the sea surface floated many naval and even pirate ships, as well as many abandoned shipwrecks and house ruins.
"boom!"
Suddenly, at that moment, Madara Uchiha directly controlled Susanoo to fly up, and muttered, "This guy is really crazy. This is seawater, and he... is a Devil Fruit user."
"Bang bang bang..."
Shortly after Madara Uchiha came ashore, Tatsumaki, Retsu Unohana, and Acnologia also rushed out of the sea.
Everyone except Madara Uchiha was soaking wet.
Starting tomorrow, updates will be at 8 PM every night.
Because today is Qingming Festival, I've been busy all day and I'm exhausted. I'll start writing as soon as I get home and have dinner. No abandonment, no abandonment, no abandonment! I'll say it three times because it's important.
Starting tomorrow, I can update regularly again. Sigh, I'll just do my best.
Chapter 88
"Are you guys okay?"
Retsu Unohana stood on a piece of floating ship wreckage, glanced at the people around her, and then said gently.
Acnologia shook off the seawater, but he used too much force, and the tree debris he was standing on sank directly. He quickly jumped up and landed next to Retsu Unohana.
"I'm fine, but..."
As he spoke, he scanned the sea surface, which was covered with all sorts of debris. He could only see some marines, but the Rocks Pirates were nowhere to be seen.
"Those guys... disappeared???"
Acunorokia continued speaking with a hint of doubt.
Everyone was silent for a moment, then shook their heads.
"Rocks and Edward Newgate are both Devil Fruit users. The seawater poses a great threat to them. It is possible that... they have already been... swept into the sea."
Madara Uchiha guessed, but with no trace of them, whether alive or dead, no one knew whether they had sunk to the bottom of the sea or... something else.
“Speaking of Devil Fruit users, Is seems to be one too. Could it be that Is has been implicated as well?” Unohana Retsu asked worriedly.
"Is??? That guy isn't afraid of seawater at all, is he? He was swimming in the sea last time, Hana Retsu-nee, have you forgotten??" Tornado explained.
Retsu Unohana paused for a moment, then smiled gently and said, "I suddenly forgot for a moment."
“Ice is fine. I saw him chasing after Shiki, one of the Rocks Pirates’ executives. If nothing unexpected happened, he wouldn’t be on this island anymore,” Madara Uchiha explained.
"I see. It seems my worries were unnecessary," Retsu Unohana said with a slight smile.
On the other side, Roger and Rayleigh's group also emerged from the seabed, supporting the drifting objects on the sea.
The wounds were soaking in the seawater, and the pain spread throughout their bodies.
“We were just running around on the island not long ago, and now the island has disappeared, leaving only an endless ocean.” Rayleigh muttered to himself, then quickly climbed onto the drifting object.
Roger gazed at the ocean, then burst into laughter: "If I'm not mistaken, this must be Newgate's doing. I just didn't expect that a single warship from the Navy could corner the Rocks Pirates!"
“I’m afraid it’s still because of that Celestial Dragon named Bernard Is,” Jabba said from the side.
"Whatever the reason, Rocks has learned his lesson this time, and who knows, from today onwards, the Rocks Pirates will no longer exist on this sea," Roger said calmly.
Rayleigh sat on the floating object, took off his shirt, wrung out some water, and said with a smile, "Anyway, this time, we were able to escape from the jaws of those Rocks guys thanks to the Navy. If the Navy had been any slower, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"May the heavens protect my Roger Pirates!!!"
As he spoke, Roger climbed onto another piece of driftwood and, like Rayleigh, took off his clothes and wrung them out.
Speaking of luck, Roger was truly a chosen one, whether in the pirate world with Is or without Is.
He often turned misfortune into good fortune through luck, such as an incident in the original story after Rocks's fall.
Surrounded by Shiki's warships, Roger's fate seemed sealed, and the Roger Pirates were about to collapse. But this is when luck came into play.
A sudden storm swept most of the Golden Lion's Flying Pirates fleet to the bottom of the sea.
Having discussed luck, let's talk about bad luck, and the Golden Lion is a prime example. The outcome was already predetermined, but the situation was forcibly reversed.
Moreover, as if Heaven felt that the Golden Lion hadn't suffered enough, it added another accident, causing the ship's rudder to stick into the Golden Lion's head.
"Roger, what are we going to do next?"
Jabba asked.
The battle with Rocks undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the Roger Pirates, and the ship's combat strength was severely diminished.
Upon hearing this, Roger hesitated, and the smile on his face vanished without a trace.
After a silence of about a minute, Roger slowly spoke.
"Let's go to a nearby island to rest and recuperate. Let's stop our journey for now."
"Uh-huh!"
Rayleigh and Jabba's group nodded in agreement with Roger's statement. After all, they no longer had a ship, and everything had to be prepared anew.
····
After a long while, the Admiral arrived.
A large-scale patrol was launched, and many surviving members of the Rocks Pirates were captured, including several of the executives, among them Charlotte Linlin.
As for Rocks, Whitebeard, and the others, they have not been found yet, and their fate is unknown.
In any case, both the Roger Pirates and the Rocks Pirates have essentially been doomed in this battle. Even if they were still alive, it would be impossible for them to return to their previous state in a short period of time.
Undoubtedly, the biggest beneficiary this time is the world government.
"I really never expected it to turn out like this," the admiral remarked.
"Yeah, I thought it would be a tough battle, but I didn't expect that the battle would be over before we even arrived." Kong sighed deeply.
"Are those the people around Bernard Issain?" another admiral, who hadn't seen Issain and his group before, asked.
