Chapter 328: The Arrival of the Red-Haired

"Bai Huzi is dead?"

"The God-Slayer Lin Yu actually killed Bai Huzi?"

"Does this mean we have won?"

Accompanying these questions, a huge cheer suddenly erupted from the Marine ranks.

Although Bai Huzi was killed by the God-Slayer Lin Yu, for them, the Marines, as long as Bai Huzi was dead, it meant they would be able to end this war very soon.

"Truly cautious."

Seeing Lin Yu disappear from sight once again, Akainu frowned and continued pursuing Monkey D. Luffy and the others.

Since they could not catch Lin Yu's trail, they would first eliminate Dragon's son, the Revolutionary Army leader.

And upon seeing Bai Huzi's death, the members of the Bai Huzi Pirates once again began to flee in a wretched manner.

Only Flower-Sword Vista was leading a group of squadron captains to intercept Akainu, preventing him from delivering a killing blow to Monkey D. Luffy.

And seeing Lin Yu prevent Bai Huzi from shouting that sentence, Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Suppressing Impel Down prisoners, stopping the Sixth Floor, killing Ace, and killing Bai Huzi in time.

Everything Lin Yu did today helped him resolve quite a few troubles.

If only he were a Marine... Hmm, I must let Sister Tina guide him towards the good side as much as possible.

Thinking these things in his heart, Sengoku picked up a Den Den Mushi and ordered all the Marines:

"Bai Huzi is already dead."

"But the war is not over yet. Continue to eliminate the pirates of the Bai Huzi Pirates; you must catch them all and absolutely cannot let them return to the New World."

"Say it again: Target the Bai Huzi Pirates, launch a full-scale attack!!!"

Only by annihilating the Bai Huzi Pirates in this war and achieving absolute victory could the Marines deter those pirates to the greatest extent and bring a stable life to civilians around the world.

Of course, Sengoku's words had another layer of meaning: do not mind the God-Slayer Lin Yu; the Marines' current target is the Bai Huzi Pirates.

Ordinary Marines could not understand the meaning of his words, but Kuzan, Huang Yuan, and Tsuru certainly could.

Lin Yu's ability to appear and disappear at will was too eerie; before understanding it clearly, Sengoku did not want to offend the other party.

"Roar!!!"

All the Marines shouted excitedly.

Bai Huzi's death greatly boosted the morale of all the Marines.

"This guy Sengoku, he probably has some connection with the God-Slayer Lin Yu."

Recalling Sister Tina's speech on the broadcast just now, the Marine Grand Admiral Tsuru muttered quietly.

And the other Marine Vice Admirals exchanged glances, did not say much, and continued pursuing the Bai Huzi Pirates to annihilate them.

Subsequently, the Marine gunfire and the Pacifista's laser beams launched another attack against the remaining pirates.

And the remaining pirates also launched counterattacks one after another, trying to seize Marine warships to escape this place.

"It is time to return."

Seeing Bai Huzi's death, Hawk Eyes Mihawk, who was facing off against Crocodile, sheathed the Black Blade Yoru behind his back and turned to leave.

Bai Huzi and Ace were already dead, and Ma Erke and Jozu had disappeared; the outcome of this battle was already decided.

Seeing Hawk Eyes leave, Crocodile took a puff of his cigar, picked up Mr. 1, whom Hawk Eyes had casually slashed into serious injury, and followed him.

"Hawk Eyes, let me hitch a ride, will you?"

In Crocodile's view, the annihilation of the Bai Huzi Pirates was already decided; he should also think about evacuation, and leaving alongside Hawk Eyes was the best option.

Hawk Eyes glanced at Crocodile and said nothing.

Seeing this, Crocodile grinned.

"Thanks."

Inside the alternate space.

"Old Man!!!"

Seeing Bai Huzi's death, Ma Erke and Diamond Jozu, having no more fighting spirit, both burst into tears.

And seeing the two of them like this, Smoothie and Big Mom's subordinate, who were actually Big Mom's subordinate, stopped attacking.

Those who aspired to become the strongest did not want to take advantage of someone in distress.

Seeing this, Lin Yu spoke and ordered: "Put Sea Prism Stone cuffs on them and lock them in the cell; from now on, they will be Smoothie and Big Mom's sparring partners."

Anyway, Ma Erke and Jozu could not escape his grasp; he did not need to rush to obtain the Devil Fruits on their bodies right now.

Letting the two serve as sparring partners for Smoothie and Big Mom could quickly improve their strength, and could instead maximize the value of Ma Erke and Jozu.

Seeing Reiju put Sea Prism Stone handcuffs on Ma Erke and Jozu, Robin walked over to Lin Yu and said:

"Sister Tina has already clashed with the Blackbeard Pirates."

"Should we continue to capture the remaining targets, or go help Sister Tina and the others?"

Hearing Robin's question, Lin Yu asked in return:

"Robin, then what do you think I should do?"

Robin turned her gaze toward Akainu, who was pursuing Monkey D. Luffy, and said:

"You have already obtained Bai Huzi's Gura Gura no Mi and Ace's Mera Mera no Mi; Ma Erke and Jozu have also surrendered; the main purpose of our coming to the Summit War has basically been accomplished."

"The only ones that can still be counted as targets are Crocodile, who possesses the Logia-type Sabi Sabi no Mi; Smoker, who possesses the Logia-type Moku Moku no Mi; the Okama King Ivankov; and Hawkins."

"You certainly will not hunt Smoker, and Crocodile is leaving with Hawk Eyes, making him difficult to hunt."

"The Okama King Ivankov is accompanied by Jinbe and Hawkins, and is being pursued by Akainu; if we go, we might draw Akainu's attention to us, which is also unsuitable for hunting."

"Therefore, I suggest we go find the Blackbeard Pirates first; the Devil Fruit abilities they possess are not bad either."

Hearing Robin's analysis, Lin Yu turned his gaze toward the battlefield in the real world.

At this moment, the Bai Huzi Pirates had already scattered and were being pursued and hunted down by the Marines, while the remaining squadron captains were following Monkey D. Luffy, helping him restrain Akainu, and Jinbe, the Okama King Ivankov, and others were doing the same.

The current situation on the field is more or less as Luo Bin described.

As for Doflamingo, Lin Yu paid him no mind.

First, the Ito Ito no Mi is simply too weak—even awakened, it can't beat Luffy's Gear Fourth, its ceiling is too low.

Second, Doflamingo still has use to Lin Yu; now is not the right time to take him down.

Suddenly, Lin Yu flew into the air and gazed toward the sea in the distant real world.

There, a massive pirate ship appeared, and standing on its prow was one of the Four Emperors of the New World—Red-Haired Shanks.

"So they've come after all."

Seeing Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors of the New World, appear as expected, Lin Yu sighed.

Then he instructed Luo Bin:

"Have Reiju and the others bring Daz Bones to us—we're returning to Impel Down."

"Smoker, Nami, and Runtie come with me to find Blackbeard's Pirate Crew; everyone else board the Ark of the Proclamation and prepare to leave at once."

Since the Red-Haired Pirate Crew has arrived, there's no need for him to stay any longer.

"Understood."

Luo Bin nodded and walked toward Reiju, who was already wearing Sea-Prison Stone with Ma Erke and Jozu.

Lin Yu, meanwhile, headed with Smoker, Nami, and Runtie toward Blackbeard's Pirate Crew's location, ready to harvest a few more Devil Fruits.
