So, for Akira, the only thing he could place his hope on now was the Red Hair Pirates. In the original story, Red Hair Shanks had appeared at the Summit War. Now, with his relationship with Shanks, Shanks would probably appear as well. As long as Shanks appeared, he would be able to take Whitebeard's body away. Although he didn't really want to place his hopes on others, there was no other way now.
Under Akira's command, the Whitebeard Pirates retreated while fighting. After a period of time, they had all retreated to the location of the bay head. At this time, basically all those gathered at the bay head were pirates. Especially since there were more than a dozen ships, all of which were pirate ships.
"Attack, quickly attack those Navy soldiers, cover everyone getting on the ship!"
The pirates who had controlled the ships were firing at the rushing Navy soldiers one after another. The artillery fire swept the bay head. Countless Navy soldiers died under the pirates' artillery fire. The pirates, who had been in a state of defeat, slowly turned the tide under the cover of the artillery fire, covering more pirates in getting to the bay head, presenting a confrontation with the Navy.
"Kill!"
The Navy soldiers and the pirates were all seeing red. The pirates had also been forced into a dead end. The Navy wouldn't let them get on the ship, so they could only fight desperately. And the Navy was the same. This war could be considered their victory, but they wanted a great victory, so they had to leave all the pirates behind.
Under this kind of situation, the two sides could be considered to be completely fighting desperately. The entire battlefield was a river of blood. Countless Navy soldiers and pirates died under each other's knives and guns, being extremely tragic.
Ace listened to Akira's words, and came to the bay head. He discovered that the surface of the sea at the bay head had indeed been frozen by Aokiji. So, he immediately rushed there, using his ability to melt the ice surface. However, how could Aokiji let him succeed so easily? He immediately stepped forward to stop him.
Ace couldn't beat Akainu, and was suppressed by Akainu, because his ability was being restrained. Actually, his strength, even if it wasn't as good as a Navy admiral, wasn't much different. But he was injured now, so he naturally wouldn't be Aokiji's opponent. After a few moves, not only had he not melted the sea surface, but he was being suppressed by Aokiji, unable to fight back.
"Ace, I'll help you!"
Just when Ace was being suppressed very miserably, suddenly a loud shout rang out. Then, a strong figure appeared, quickly arriving in front of Ace, and punching Aokiji from a distance.
"Karakusagawara Seiken!"
With a straight punch, a strong shockwave was produced, blasting Aokiji's body directly into pieces of ice.
Those pieces of ice quickly gathered together, forming Aokiji's appearance. Aokiji looked at the person who had attacked him with a solemn gaze, and said in a deep voice, "Jinbe, it seems that you're really determined to betray us."
The one who had suddenly appeared was 'Knight of the Sea' Jinbe. He heard Aokiji's words, and answered, "It's not that I'm betraying you, but you forced me to do so. Since that's the case, I don't need the title of Shichibukai either."
"It seems that I can't let you leave either." Aokiji's expression became cold, and his aura quickly increased.
"Jinbe!"
Ace, seeing that the person who was supporting him was Jinbe, immediately asked, "My brother, how is Luffy?"
Jinbe answered, "Luffy-kun is very well. I have already sent him to a safe place."
"A safe place?"
Ace looked at Jinbe somewhat stunned, not understanding what he meant. There would still be a safe place on this battlefield?
Jinbe said, "A new pirate who knows Luffy-kun, named Trafalgar Law, appeared just now, and used his submarine to take Luffy away."
"Trafalgar Law? Who is he?" Ace asked.
Jinbe said, "He's a new pirate who debuted at the same time as Luffy. I don't think he seems like a bad person. And you said you wanted to send Luffy to a safe place, so I handed Luffy over to him. According to what he said, he's planning to return to the Sabaody Archipelago."
"Is that so? I understand."
Although he didn't know Trafalgar Law, he knew that Jinbe wouldn't mess around with this matter. Since Jinbe trusted the other party, that meant that there shouldn't be too big of a problem.
"Jinbe, the sea surface has been frozen by Aokiji. I need to use my ability to melt the sea surface. Can you stop Aokiji?"
Jinbe answered with a solemn expression, "Although it will be difficult, I will definitely do my best."
As a former Shichibukai, Jinbe naturally knew the strength of Navy Admiral Aokiji very well. He was completely no match. However, the situation was critical now, so even if he had to risk his life, he had to buy time for Ace.
"Gosenmaigawara Shuto!"
Facing Aokiji, Jinbe naturally went all out. And Aokiji wouldn't be careless either. Being able to be selected as a Shichibukai was enough to prove Jinbe's strength. Even if he was somewhat inferior to him, if he was careless, Jinbe would also bring him great trouble.
"Fire Fist!"
While Jinbe was stopping Aokiji, Ace naturally used his ability to start melting the ice surface. His actions were seen by Aokiji, who was also quite anxious. So, he used all his strength to deal with Jinbe. However, after just a dozen or so moves, Jinbe was completely suppressed by Aokiji, only being able to defend barely, unable to bring much of a threat to Aokiji.
"I can't let you destroy the ice surface so easily!"
Ace had used all his strength, and had finally melted a small portion of the ice surface. He was just preparing to continue working hard, when suddenly a lazy tone came from his ear. Then, he saw a brilliant golden light attacking him.
"It's Kizaru!"
Almost immediately, Ace reacted. This voice, plus the ability, there was no one else besides Kizaru. He quickly used his ability, turning his body into an element. A golden light passed through his body.
"Oh, this is really troublesome. You're also a Logia. It's difficult to hit you with ordinary attacks."
Kizaru landed in front of Ace, as if he had just remembered, looking at Ace with a smile that wasn't a smile. But Ace could see a strong killing intent in his eyes.
"Kizaru."
Ace's gaze was fixed on Kizaru. He had already fought Akainu and Aokiji, two of the Navy's three admirals. He wasn't Akainu's opponent, and had only briefly clashed with Aokiji. Now this Kizaru had also appeared. Today, he could be said to have come into contact with all three Navy admirals.
Ace's expression was very solemn. He had already witnessed Kizaru's strength on the execution platform. And he was injured now. So, once they fought, he definitely wouldn't be Kizaru's opponent. Moreover, what was most important now was to destroy the ice surface, allowing more people to get on the ship and leave, not to fight Kizaru.
For Ace, everyone had come here to save him. So, taking everyone away from here was what he had to do.
"Have you seen the light speed kick?"
Kizaru chuckled, and then his figure suddenly turned into a golden light, quickly shooting towards Ace.
Ace's expression sank, and he didn't dare to be careless either, suddenly swinging his right fist, shouting, "Fire Fist!"
The flames and golden light touched together, the fists and feet touching, a huge roar erupting with the two of them as the center. The flames and golden light scattered everywhere, powerful air currents splashing in all directions.
At first glance, it seemed like the two were evenly matched. But the next moment, they saw Ace grunt, his body suddenly retreating backwards, retreating for more than a dozen steps before stopping. Then, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of Ace's mouth.
