The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

How far can a strong individual's strength go? Perhaps it can become the final weight that determines the outcome of a war. However, no matter how heavy the weight is, the final factor that determines the tilt of the scale is still the weight of the scale.

Even though Akainu has the strength second only to the strongest in the sea, he has no way to deal with the defeat of the navy. Now, on both battlefields, whether on land or at sea, the defeat of the navy is imminent. Even someone as strong as Akainu has no way to reverse this extremely bad situation.

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Akainu stopped fighting for the time being. Now it was not a matter of how to win, the most important thing was how to avoid the loss of the navy as much as possible. An excellent general should adjust the next strategy according to the situation.

Maan and Raven saw Akainu stop and stood guard. Although the Red Flag Army could be said to have won the battle, Akainu was still very powerful and could not relax.

The most important thing is to stop Akainu's possible attack and buy time for the artillery unit that has just been exposed to evacuate. After waiting for a while, seeing that Akainu had no intention of continuing the fight, Ma En tried to test him. "Hey, ha, Vice Admiral Akainu, how about it? This is the victory of the common people."

Maan spoke with a slight breath. Even though he had taken drugs, it was still difficult for him and Riven to fight off Akainu together.

"So what? Mr. Maan, don't forget that your soldiers are at the end of their strength. At worst, our army can retreat immediately, and then we can rest and come back." Akainu retorted.

"Haha, really? But don't be happy too soon, Vice Admiral Akainu. A senior once taught me that when fighting a war, you must keep enough reserves (laughs). I think the navy under your command may not be able to wait until the comeback." As he spoke, Ma En casually shot out a paper firework.

"You still have a reserve?" Akainu was somewhat doubtful. Although he was holding off the two men just now, he still retained some energy and occasionally spied on the front battlefield. With the Red Flag Army's difficult performance, how could they still have a reserve hidden?

Facing Akainu's doubts, Ma En just smiled in mystery. "Of course there is no reserve force. The only backup is the artillery unit. As for the reserve force Ma En mentioned, it is actually just some civilian staff left by the revolutionaries at the Tree of All-Knowing, and a few dozen guards."

Of course, Ma En couldn't say what was in his mind. He made an intriguing expression, trying to make Akainu hesitate. In fact, Ma En was trying to delay time. No matter what the situation was on the front battlefield, the navy's warships were the focus of the Red Flag Army's attack.

However, given the current situation, there might actually be an unexpected surprise. According to the degree of chaos in the navy, even if the revolutionaries only rely on the few guards left in the headquarters, it will be enough to cause trouble for the completely defeated navy.

As Akainu observed with his Observation Haki, a team of about a hundred people came out from the rear. They really looked like a reserve team that had gathered their strength and marched in an orderly manner towards the chaotic battlefield.

"Comrades, you must obey orders to avoid casualties. Our current mission is to strike hard at the enemy's downfall. As long as you obey orders, no accidents will happen." Before arriving at the battlefield, the captain of the guard who served as the temporary commander reminded everyone.

"Mr. Marx and Engels once said that if even civilian personnel have to take up guns and go to the battlefield, the world revolution must have reached its most critical moment. Comrades, now is such a moment. It is time for the Party and the people to test us. We must be worthy of the uniforms we wear and not forget the oath we swore in front of the military flag." said Lacus, the temporary political commissar.

And when this final "reserve force" arrived at the battlefield, even the civilian personnel who had never been on a battlefield, under the encouragement of the political commissar, resolutely picked up their guns and launched a charge.

Even under their inspiration, the Red Flag Army of the second line of defense, which was originally lying exhausted in the trenches, forced themselves to stand up and followed the charge.

As expected, the thousands of navy soldiers who were still in chaos on the battlefield finally realized their previous infighting after being charged by the real Red Flag Army. The navy soldiers who reacted no longer had the desire to resist and surrendered directly.

Under such circumstances, a strange scene occurred on the battlefield. The Red Flag Army, which numbered less than 200, easily captured hundreds or even thousands of marines. Even some naval officers lay on the ground and surrendered, probably because they had exhausted their energy in the chaos. At this time, they behaved no differently from ordinary naval soldiers.

All of this happened with Akainu's awareness, so he tried to use his moves to interfere with the Red Flag Army, hoping to buy time for the defeated navy to retreat. Unfortunately, Marne and Raven didn't give him any chance, and any of Akainu's moves were intercepted by them.

"How will you treat those captured marines?" Akainu said unwillingly. After all, as the commander of the navy, he had to consider those captured marines at this moment.

Just as Ma En was about to explain to him the Red Flag Army's prisoner policy, Akainu continued, "How about ending this war? Just let me bring back the captured marines, and we can end this war right away."

To Akainu, there was no need to fight any further. As the commander of this operation, Akainu had to consider the navy. The navy's losses were too great. If the navy was just repelled, it could be said that the navy was annihilated by the enemy.

As a commander, even if the operation failed, Akainu had to at least ensure that the personnel involved in the operation were safe. It goes without saying that the navy died on the battlefield, but if a large number of navy were captured, this situation would be unacceptable. The navy participating in the Demon Slayer Operation were all elite, and even at the cost of giving up the operation, the captured navy had to be rescued.

Ma En was somewhat impressed by Akainu's decisiveness and adaptability. He was also somewhat misled by the stereotyped and iron-blooded impression of Akainu in his previous life. In fact, no one who can sit in the position of admiral is not flexible.

Even Akainu, facing the threat of Red Hair during the war on the top, did not have the nerve to fight to the end. But this time, the Red Flag Army held thousands of naval prisoners, and this loss was no less than the war on the top for the navy.

"As long as the Red Flag Army can release the prisoners, the Navy will admit defeat and retreat. Otherwise, the magma in my hand will not be friendly to the Tree of All-Knowing." Akainu threatened. At the same time, magma also gushed out of Akainu's body, as if to prove his words.

In fact, this is Akainu's preparation to play rogue after he roughly understood the strength of the Revolutionary Party. As a natural fruit ability, the Revolutionary Party is indeed unable to deal with him in its current situation. From another perspective, Maen is the first person who can force Akainu to play rogue.

After hearing what Akainu said, Maen was also considering it. In fact, if Maen was ruthless and didn't care about casualties, he could really make Akainu pay. Akainu is not at his peak yet. As a candidate for admiral, the revolutionaries can really take him down at all costs.

After a brief thought, Maan gave his answer. Maan grinned and said, "My answer is: No. There is no room for compromise on our path."
