Chapter 215

"Boom—boom—boom—"

The underground entrance where Sakazuki and Teach fell suddenly erupted with a massive surge of lava, mixed with the black flames of Amaterasu burning, raining down upon every direction.

Before long,

Sakazuki, his face black with rage, condensed his form from the lava and shouted angrily: "Blackbeard escaped! If only I hadn't been injured..."

Escaped?

Everyone present activated Observation Haki and discovered that the members of the Blackbeard Pirates had vanished without a trace at some point.

Well then,

Now there is no need to argue; the core of the conflict is gone.

"Gurarara—" Bai Hu Zi suddenly laughed loudly: "Silly son! Since you want to settle this personally... then after we return, you must double your training!"

"Children, withdraw!"

The pirates of the Bai Hu Zi Grand Fleet,

glanced at the Marines who had not yet recovered from the thousand missiles, feeling somewhat regretful.

Isn't this the perfect time to beat a drowning dog?

But with Bai Hu Zi restored to his peak, his majesty was such that no one dared to defy him—although they were all sons, the paternal love they received was not the same.

They all sheathed their weapons and departed.

Ma Er also forced Doflamingo back, nodded to Lei Li, and turned to leave.

"Let's go." Lei Li called out: "Time to hold a banquet back home! This time we'll bankrupt that Edward!"

"Hahaha—"

"Let's go, let's go!"

"We won't leave until we're drunk!"

The Luo Jie Pirates strode arrogantly toward the port, while the Marines and the Seven Warlords of the Sea could only watch.

Even Doflamingo, as bold as he was, did not dare to make a move.

Are you kidding?

If he dared to destroy this hard-won "balance" now, the Emperor Shanks would be the first to tear him apart!

As Lei Li and the others passed Shanks, none of them even looked him in the eye.

"Vice Captain." Shanks lowered his head and said: "I have my reasons, you..."

"No need to say more." Lei Li waved his hand and said: "You are an Emperor now; you don't need to explain anything to anyone."

Having said that,

he walked straight past him, heading toward Ace.

The other members of the Luo Jie Pirates did the same; they all brushed past Shanks without a single one greeting him, let alone inviting him to the upcoming banquet.

Shanks only lowered his head, gripped his Grinfin tightly, and silently watched them depart.

From the moment he decided not to step in and save Ace...

he was no longer a member of the Luo Jie Pirates.

Watching Lei Li and the others surround Ace, joking and teasing him while Ace scowled in displeasure,

Shanks sighed helplessly.

"Let's go."

He walked dejectedly toward his ship, and the Red Hair Pirates were the first to exit the scene.

The Straw Hat Pirates and the other two pirate crews were also preparing to leave, but Sengoku, the Fleet Admiral of the Marines, still had to stop the furious Sakazuki.

How ironic this was...

Suddenly!

"Wait!" Ma Er called out: "Just leaving like this, isn't that too kind to the Marines?"

That single cry made the hearts of all the Marines rise again!

What are these pirates going to do?

Sima Di, however, raised an eyebrow, vaguely guessing what was coming.

As expected!

Ma Er looked at Sima Di and said: "Di, that technique earlier... should be able to cover this entire plaza, right?"

"Hiss—"

"Hiss—"

"Hiss—"

The Bai Hu Zi Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates both involuntarily drew in a sharp breath!

Ma Er, that move of yours...

So poisonous!!!

? burn? burn? burn? burn? burn? burn? burn? burn? burn? burn? burn? burn? burn? burn? burn?

Have you guessed what it is?

Ten Thousand Characters Basic, extra chapter tomorrow!

Auto-subscribers need 3 more people for an extra chapter.

79. Give the Marines some treatment! Hancock falls into the tiger's mouth!

Ma Er: "Di, that technique earlier... should be able to cover this entire plaza, right?"

"Hiss—"

"Hiss—"

"Hiss—"

Marco's sinister scheme had sparked eager anticipation in both the Whitebeard Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates!

Eyes unblinking, they stared at Sima Di, waiting for his answer.

At this,

Sima Di was also somewhat tempted—was there any sight more entertaining than watching hundreds of thousands of marines "wail"?

Hmm......

There really was!

Sima Di looked at Ace, whose face was sour, and said with a smile—

"Are you sure I'm giving it to Ace, and not to them?"

Ah, this......

The Whitebeard Pirates' division commanders all hesitated.

After all, they had all been "baptized" and held each other's leverage—pot calling the kettle black.

But......

Ace hadn't!

If he found out, how were these older brothers of his supposed to live with themselves from now on?

"How about... throwing Ace back in with them?" Jozu suggested.

Good lord!

Back then he had been the most eager to rescue Ace, yet now he was the first to suggest throwing him back......

Truly a good brother, no doubt about it.

"That doesn't seem quite right." Marco stared at Ace with ill intent.

He made Ace doubt his entire life!

"Hey, hey, hey, I don't know what you guys are plotting, but it feels like nothing good!" Ace shouted.

He wouldn't just sit and wait to be captured!

"Enough." Whitebeard spoke up: "Compared to that kid Di's move... let this old man give the marines a grand gift instead!"

Seeing Whitebeard grip his Murakumogiri, everyone understood what he was about to do.

Ambush the Whitebeard Pirates?
