Chapter 1807: The Final Order

Magma fists rained down incessantly, blasting the pirates in the plaza into a chaotic mess.

"Scatter! Head outside the port..."

With a boom, the pirate who had been shouting was swallowed by flames, turning into charcoal after a series of screams.

A pungent, burnt smell filled the plaza. Due to the large-scale magma combustion, oxygen in the area became thin, causing the pirates to cough incessantly.

After an unknown number of pirates had fallen, the magma fists descending from the sky stopped. The pirates, who had originally gathered in a large mass, were now less than half their original number, but the advantage of the pirate side manifested at this moment.

If the Navy side had suffered such a proportion of casualties, let alone a rout, a massive drop in morale would have been inevitable. The pirate side was different; Whitebeard had a total of 4 affiliated pirate crews under his command. Although these crews were gathered together, they were not much better off than fighting individually.

Although the number of casualties on the pirate side was staggering, the chaotic pirates didn't pay much attention to this. After the magma fists stopped falling, apart from lingering fear, they showed no signs of routing.

"My sons!"

Whitebeard stood before the ice wall, his naginata resting on the ground, emitting a loud boom that attracted the gaze of most of the pirates.

"Our objective has already been achieved. Continuing to fight the Navy will only increase casualties in vain."

After shouting this, Whitebeard's wheezing became more severe. Although the pirate side had suffered heavy casualties—with more than half dead or injured in a short time—of the 4 affiliated pirate crews, 27 were now crippled, 5 were nearly wiped out, and the rest had also suffered many casualties.

"Everyone of the Whitebeard Pirates, listen well. I am now issuing the captain's final order."

As Whitebeard spoke, he turned around, facing the towering ice wall with his back to the crowd of pirates. The pirates, who hadn't routed even after being blasted by more than half, saw their fighting spirit clearly struck after hearing Whitebeard's words.

"You and I shall part ways here. Everyone, survive and return safely to the New World."

Before Whitebeard could finish speaking, the ice wall in front of him shattered with a roar. Seeing this, Whitebeard curled his arm; this was the posture for using the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

"I am... a remnant of the old era. There is no ship in the new era that can carry me."

Whitebeard didn't say this to the pirates, but to Sengoku, because he had already discovered that Sengoku's purpose in arranging all of this was to kill him.

Thump!

A fist hammered into the atmosphere. Cracks emerged in front of Whitebeard and spread to the surroundings, nearly separating the entire battlefield.

Rumble...

The entire Marineford Island began to shake, and the foundation of the Navy Headquarters cracked. Those Navy soldiers who were just about to pursue felt a buzz in their brains before collapsing to the ground, most of them dying on the spot.

"Set sail, my sons!"

Following Whitebeard's words, several cracks appeared on the Navy Headquarters ahead, and large groups of Navy soldiers on the battlefield were sent flying. Aokiji and Akainu both remained silent; getting close to Whitebeard now was the stupidest behavior. Whitebeard was clearly intending to cover the retreat for the pirates and was prepared to die. Fighting to the death with Whitebeard at this moment would just satisfy the other party's wish to find someone to take down with him.

"Pops, what are you saying? We..."

The 14th Division Commander, Speed Jiru, roared as he charged toward Whitebeard. A blood-stained hand grabbed him; it was Marco. He had been entangled by that Qiyuezhe who was so strong he didn't seem human, and now that muscular man was standing among the Navy, staring at Whitebeard from afar.

"Everyone... get on the ship!"

After Marco shouted this with a twitching cheek, he quickly rushed toward Kizaru, who was blocking the retreat.

"Get lost!"

Marco's arm swung forward, a blue flame wing wrapping around his arm as he slashed toward Kizaru.

Ding!

The flame wing and the Ama no Murakumo sword clashed. Kizaru's eyes behind his toad glasses narrowed, looking at Marco with a smile.

"Yo, what a scary expression. However... you no longer have a ship that can go to sea."

Just as Kizaru finished speaking, the sea outside the port began to churn, and a behemoth broke out of the sea—it was a large ship wrapped in a coating.

"Our ship has arrived."

As Marco finished speaking, the coating on the large ship ruptured. This ship was identical in appearance to the Moby Dick; to be precise, this was the Moby Dick. The one previously destroyed by the Pacifista was a large ship identical to the Moby Dick. The Moby Dick, the ship that carried decades of memories of the Whitebeard Pirates, had been lurking in the deep sea all along.

"Everyone, get on the ship!!"

The 8th Division Commander, the Fish-Man Namur, stood at the bow and shouted. All the pirates at the port began to rush toward the sea. Now, the sea truly represented freedom.

Crack, crack, crack...

An ice wall suddenly appeared, completely blocking the pirates' path. It was Aokiji. As for Whitebeard, he was being besieged by thousands of Navy soldiers. The soldiers leaped up, making it almost impossible for the other pirates to see Whitebeard's figure.

Zing!

The long sword rang crisply, and five crisscrossing slashes appeared on the ice wall.

The ice wall shattered with a roar. The pirates, who had just felt a bit of despair, cheered. If it weren't for Su Xiao's overwhelming blood aura, they would have wanted to offer a few compliments.

At this moment, on the edge of the battlefield, those Qiyuezhe who were just preparing to beat a drowning dog stopped in their tracks.

"What do we do? This guy is... too damn strong. Can a Fifth Tier fight an Admiral? I also want to promote to Fifth Tier."

A bald, fierce-looking Qiyuezhe spoke. Of course, he could only be fierce among his own tier.

"What do we do? Just wait! Blackbeard will definitely show up, and that will be the opportunity."

"Damn it, this lunatic must be cheating. I'm also Fifth Tier, although I just promoted to Fifth Tier."

Hearing a man with a full head of yellow hair speak, the Qiyuezhe nearby cast their gazes over one after another. That gaze clearly meant: You're already at the Fifth Tier, why are you still hiding here with us?

"Cough, I'm a wild support type."

The yellow-haired man smiled awkwardly.

"Big shot, want to cooperate? My sniping is top-notch."

The low-tier Qiyuezhe and that Fifth Tier slacker retreated back to the edge of the battlefield, continuing to wait for an opportunity. Although these people didn't enter the battlefield directly, they had more or less gained many benefits on the edge of the battlefield, especially the Qiyuezhe capable of long-range attacks.

In the plaza, Aokiji stood in front of Su Xiao, ice blocks filling the space between them. Pirates rushed past Aokiji on both sides, but he didn't even look at them.

"Alala, I forgot you were still here, Kuqulin, Bai Ye!"

Aokiji took off his blood-stained white military uniform and casually tore off the eye mask he had been wearing on his head.

"Xiang Bubu, Amu, you two go ahead and charge with the pirates."

"Woof."

"Moo~"

Amu, carrying Ace, hesitated, wanting to deal with Aokiji together with Su Xiao.

"Amu."

Discovering that Su Xiao's tone was somewhat serious, Amu shrank his shoulders and charged toward the port with Xiang Bubu Wang, looking back every three steps. In the distance, a young man wearing a small yellow vest and blue half-length pants ran over. It was Monkey D. Luffy. He had only run this way after seeing Ace on Amu's shoulder.

"Ace."

Luffy smiled so wide his gums were exposed. Hearing this familiar shout, Ace on Amu's shoulder struggled a bit.

"Luffy~"

Ace was very weak and also very anxious. He had heard Whitebeard's words earlier. If things continued to develop like this, today would be his farewell to Whitebeard. ===== CHAPTER 1808 =====
