One Piece: I'm Destined to Be the Son-in-Law King!-Chapter 164 - 11th Division VS Whitebeard Pirates
Chapter 164 - 11th Division VS Whitebeard Pirates
The Four Emperors and the Marines usually kept their distance, avoiding fights unless they bumped into each other.
But the Whitebeard Pirates weren't exactly known for being "polite" like the Red Hair Pirates. Now that the Marines had sailed right up to their island, they felt like they had to throw a little party!
"Alright, men! Let's show these Marines what the Whitebeard Pirates are really made of!"
"Ooooh!!!"
The Captains, the toughest guys in Whitebeard's crew, led the charge straight toward the Marines' camp.
Roya, with his sword in hand, stepped forward, followed by his officers, their eyes shining with excitement.
"11th Division, advance!"
"Ooooh!!!"
The Marines roared back, raising their swords high!
Whitebeard Pirates? Big deal!
No reason to be scared! Let's follow the Boss and smash 'em!
----
Marine Base G-1, inside the Chief's office.
"Bloop, bloop~"
Vice Admiral Momonga relaxed on his sofa, legs crossed, sipping tea and reading the newspaper. Suddenly, the emergency Den Den Mushi, a snail-like telephone, rang loudly, its eyes flashing red.
That meant someone needed help, and fast.
"Hmm?"
Momonga frowned. G-1 hadn't been sent on any missions lately. Why would they need help from inside?
"Answer it!"
"Momonga here!"
"Vice Admiral Momonga, this is the 11th Division, led by Rear Admiral Roya! I'm Adjutant Lu Yun. We're fighting the Whitebeard Pirates and need backup from Headquarters immediately!"
"Oh, it's the 11th Division," Momonga said calmly, taking another sip of his tea.
It's Roya's crew. That makes sense. The kid's been quiet for a couple of months; it was about time he caused some trouble.
Wait a minute... was he missing something?
Momonga's eyes widened, and cold sweat dripped down his face. He spat out all the tea he'd been drinking.
"Whitebeard Pirates!!!"
Momonga shrieked in shock!
"I-I-I-I-I..."
Calm down! Calm down!
How could he calm down?!
Are these kids trying to start a war?!
Momonga frantically grabbed the Den Den Mushi to call Marine Headquarters. Fighting a Four Emperor was way too much for a Vice Admiral.
They needed an Admiral!
The Den Den Mushi connected quickly.
"Marshal Sengoku--"
"I know, Momonga," a calm voice said from the Den Den Mushi.
"Click."
Momonga hung up the Den Den Mushi, confused.
Sengoku's calmness meant he already knew what was happening.
What is going on?
Why does it feel like I'm the only one who doesn't know what's happening?
----
On Matsuba Island, the battle was split in two.
Flames blazed on the right, while Marines and pirates fought in a chaotic mess on the left.
"Take down Black Hair!"
The pirates roared, charging toward Roya.
Even the Captains wanted a piece of him.
Compared to regular Marines, Black Hair, the guy who beat Jinbe, was the biggest prize. The rest didn't matter.
"Get out of my way!"
Jozu shouted. The pirates in front of him scattered. In an instant, Jozu's body turned into diamond.
"Shining: Impact!"
He charged forward like a wild beast!
But Roya didn't even look at Jozu.
"Boom!!!"
With a heavy thud, Jozu stopped dead in his tracks, his head spinning.
Something had blocked him!
"What's going on?!"
"Behehehe, it's a Barrier!"
Barto stood in front of Jozu, his fingers crossed.
He wasn't fast, and he didn't have the ability to sense danger, but Jozu's attack was too obvious. He could have blocked it with his eyes closed.
"I won't let you touch the Boss!"
"Huh?"
Jozu rubbed his head, then looked down at Barto. This little punk thought he could stop him?
"There's nothing harder than me in this world!"
Jozu felt insulted. His body turned into diamond again, unleashing power even greater than when he fought Jinbe!
"Shining: Heavy Blow!"
"Boom!!!"
Another heavy thud. The diamond fist stopped right in front of Barto, unable to even budge the Barrier.
"Behehehe!"
Barto grinned, taunting him. "Shiny, big lump, are you even trying? I'm standing right here. I dare you to make me take a single step back!"
"..."
Jozu's face turned dark, veins popping out on his forehead.
"Everyone, stand back! He's mine!"
Today, he would crush this guy!
----
Meanwhile, Roya raised his sword, blocking Flower Sword Vista's two swords.
Vista pushed down on Roya with his swords, a smile on his face.
"I've heard a lot about you, Black Hair."
"I should be saying that. Fifth Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Flower Sword Vista!"
Roya stared intently at Flower Sword.
Whitebeard was fighting Ace. If he really wanted to, he could finish Ace in a second, but judging by the scene over there, Whitebeard was holding back.
Without Whitebeard, the most dangerous members of the Whitebeard Pirates were the fifteen Division Commanders, each as strong as a Marine Vice Admiral, with the top Commanders being even stronger.
Things weren't looking good for them.
But they had to hold out until reinforcements arrived.
And on his side, only a few fighters could even stand up to the Commanders. They were seriously outnumbered.
Time to play his trump card!
Roya took a deep breath and shouted.
"Yamato, fight with all your strength!"
"Awooooo~~~"
A wolf's howl echoed through the sky!
"So cold!"
Freezing air, like Aokiji's, spread across the battlefield!
"Who is it? Did Aokiji come?"
The Captains slowed their attacks, looking warily toward the source of the cold air. The only strong person they knew who could use Cold Air was him!
Admiral Aokiji!
If Admiral Aokiji showed up, they wouldn't be able to win, even with more men, unless Pops stepped in.
"What an amazing power. It seems I can't just sit back and watch."
Marco, who had been healing Jinbe, stood up.
He hadn't planned on fighting. The point of this fight was just to scare away the Marines, not destroy them.
After all, Pops was getting old, and his health wasn't great. Lately, he'd been resting on Honeycomb Island and hadn't fought much.
His sons didn't want Pops to fight either. A small fight was fine, but a full-blown war with the Marines was too much.
"A wolf?"
When they saw the wolf girl unleashing the Cold Air, the Captains were shocked, looking at each other in confusion.
Who was this girl?!
"Wahahaha, I'll be your opponent!"
Yamato laughed excitedly. She had wanted to go all-out for a long time, but she had never found anyone strong enough to push her to her limits.
As for fighting Roya, she just couldn't take it seriously.
"Boom!"
An explosion came from the coast!
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
Bombardment!
"It's warships!"
The Whitebeard Pirates looked toward the rear. Six large warships were coming, each with the G-5 symbol.
Marine Base G-5!
Overhead stood on top of a warship, yelling through a megaphone, "Roya Boss, we're here to help!"
"So they're finally here."
Roya looked toward the coast, a smile on his face.
With all six warships from G-5, the number of fighters would be about the same.
He wouldn't fight a battle he couldn't win.
On the warship in front, Vice Admiral Maynard clutched his forehead in pain.
Who is the Base Chief of G-5, anyway?!
Why did that kid's one phone call send them all rushing out, ignoring his orders?
Their enemies were the Whitebeard Pirates!
If this started a real war, the consequences would be terrible, and he, the Base Chief, would be blamed!
"Roya!!!"
Maynard gritted his teeth in anger.
He didn't want to come, but his men had all come. If he didn't follow, he didn't know what would happen.
It was all that kid's fault!
