One Piece: The Strongest Man on the Surface

The person who spoke was Andrew, who seemed to be seriously injured and fell to the ground.

Following his voice, everyone felt the ground beneath their feet trembling and shaking, as if there was an earthquake.

Sengoku staggered, a terrible thought flashed through his mind.

"Could it be that he..."

boom!

The earth cracked open, fiery magma rose into the sky, and along with violent shaking, the entire Malinvando showed signs of collapse.

Andrew stood up, and then all the navy noticed that his right hand had made a hole in the ground at some point.

Pulling his hand out, Andrew's face showed a trace of paleness, but he quickly returned to normal and sneered: "This is a gift for you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the shaking became more violent. The naval headquarters building collapsed, the navy fled in all directions, and the entire Marineland was in a doomsday scene.

The crowd's encirclement was broken by itself. Andrew took off and separated from the crowd. Warring States wanted to catch up, but more and more cracks on the ground forced him to give up.

"coward!"

Looking at Andrew's leaving figure, Akainu roared, his voice full of frustration and unwillingness.

Andrew paused, turned his head, and showed an unpredictable smile.

"Almost forgot about you."

Turning around, the eight-foot magatama flew out, densely covering the people below.

When everyone was in a hurry, Andrew lightly hooked his right hand——

Akainu felt alarmed, but it was too late. A thin line passed through and cut his body in half.

"Is this Doflamingo's Thread Fruit?"

Although this attack could not hurt Akainu, he was still very angry.

But it wasn't over yet. Before Akainu recovered, Andrew pointed lightly, and the transparent ghost shadow floated out silently.

"Go, Negative Specter!"

After doing all this, Andrew stopped staying, activated his fruit ability, and quickly disappeared over the battlefield.

Watching Andrew leave, Seng Guo seemed to have aged dozens of years as he sat down on the ruins, silently lowering his head.

Aokiji and Kizaru were instructing everyone to clean up the mess, but Garp probably felt guilty and fled early.

As for the red dog...

The two sailors responsible for greeting him suppressed their laughter and helped him away.

That day, this man who had always intimidated the entire navy with his iron-blooded methods actually knelt on the ground, kowtowing and murmuring.

"I'm sorry, I'm a bug..."

……

Not far from Marinevando, Andrew saw the large fleet on the sea.

On the deck of the Mobidi, Whitebeard was always looking in the direction of Malinfando, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Next to him was Ace, who was all bandaged. Although he was seriously injured now, he insisted on standing here and waiting for Andrew to return safely.

Seeing the dazzling golden light on the horizon, one person exclaimed in horror: "Yes, Kizaru?!"

Everyone on the boat was immediately alert, and only Whitebeard suddenly burst into heartfelt laughter.

"Gu la la la, I knew you wouldn't end up here!"

The light swept towards this side very quickly, then fell suddenly and landed in front of Whitebeard.

The light dissipated, revealing Andrew's figure.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then cheered.

"Andrew!"

"Our heroes are back!"

……

There was a mess on the deck, and Ace stepped forward to hug Andrew, secretly wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, and kept repeating.

"Great, it's great that you're all right!"

Feeling the fanatical admiration around him and the gratitude coming from Ace's heart, Andrew was a little overwhelmed.

Whitebeard laughed heartily: "Little ones! Let's set sail. In addition, to celebrate the safe return of Andrew and Ace, there is a party!"

"Oh!"

That night, Andrew was knocked down. The captains of the Whitebeard Regiment took turns coming over to toast him, and Ace even pulled him to hold a bucket and drink.

At the end of the night, I didn't eat much of the fragrant barbecue, but I drank a lot of wine.

While the pirates were exchanging cups and cups and were beaming with joy, the navy was in gloom and gloom.

According to simple statistics, more than half of the casualties in this battle were caused by Andrew's several large-scale attacks.

Listening to the casualty report of his men, Warring States gritted his teeth. Andrew's figure had been deeply engraved in his mind and could not be erased.

"In addition, Impel Down City was attacked by Blackbeard. Warden Magellan was seriously injured. Shiliu rebelled and joined the Blackbeard Pirates. Most of the prisoners on the sixth floor have escaped!"

After saying that, the man looked at Warring States' face getting darker and darker and said cautiously: "Marshal, what should we do?"

"..."

Warring States was silent for a long time, then sighed and said: "The escaped prisoners... issue a reward order as soon as possible. They must be re-arrested before they cause too much panic."

But his subordinates looked troubled and did not move for a long time.

"Huh? Anything else?"

Warring States noticed something strange about him and said doubtfully.

The subordinate hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "The World Government has issued an order that we are not allowed to release the news that Impel Down City has been robbed. As for the reward orders for those pirates..."

He didn't finish what he said later, but Warring States also understood what he meant.

Anger and surprise surged into his heart in an instant.

"What are you kidding?!"

Warring States could not believe that in the face of the peace of the sea and the interests of the people, the World Government did not hesitate to choose to protect its own face!

In other words, they did not want ordinary people to see the navy's disastrous defeat.

Compared with those vicious pirates, the navy's prestige in the hearts of ordinary people is the most important.

After venting his anger, Zeng Guo calmed down, showing no emotion on his face, and waved his hand.

"I see, let's go."

"Yes."

After his men left, Warring States sat on a chair. After a long time, he took out a pen and paper and started writing slowly...

The battle of Malinfando subverted people's perception.

I thought that with the presence of the three generals, they could easily crush the Four Emperors.

But the result surprised everyone.

Although the scene behind it was cut off, everyone could see it.

The Navy failed.

At the same time, the mysterious white-haired young man suddenly became the headlines of major newspapers.

Some say he is as powerful a swordsman as Hawkeye.

Some say he is a person with multiple fruit abilities.

What’s even more outrageous is that some reporters directly stated that Andrew is suspected of being of a special race.

That means not human.

Various speculations, various theories.

But there is no doubt that this battle made the whole world pay attention to this terrifying powerhouse who can stand alone against the three generals.

That's what it means to become famous overnight.

Newspapers from the outside world have been overwhelming. Although the navy strictly ordered not to publish information about the war privately, many people still took risks.

Under pressure from the outside world, the top leaders of the World Government had no choice but to admit the failure of the Battle of Marinevando and put all the responsibility on Sengoku, the commander.

The consequence was that Warring States voluntarily resigned from his position as marshal.

As for the follow-up candidates, Sengoku wanted to recommend Aokiji, while the World Government originally wanted to support Akainu, who has a more direct and righteous heart.

But his performance in the war was too... embarrassing, so the senior officials had to give up the idea.

Aokiji became the new navy marshal without any controversy.

At the same time, the World Government also issued a wanted order for Andrew.

Different from the wanted poster for everyone, it does not say life or death, but...

Only allowed to be captured alive!
