There were countless people who expressed puzzlement in an instant. But when they saw the short figure who was spreading his hands to block in front of Akainu, they all revealed looks of disbelief.
"Navy?"
The division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates were all looking at that figure in astonishment. Only Akira had a look of relief flash in his eyes.
"It's Luffy's friend, that little guy named Coby? I didn't expect that he would actually appear. The timing is also very coincidental. It seems that fate is really difficult to predict."
In the original story, it was because of Coby's brave appearance that the ending of the One Piece anime had been changed. If it hadn't been for his appearance buying a short amount of time, allowing Shanks to arrive in time, no one could imagine what would have happened.
However, the battle situation at this time was already completely different from the anime. Akira hadn't counted Coby, this small figure, in the equation. But he hadn't expected that this Coby would still appear as fate intended.
The others were also looking at Coby in disbelief. Especially the Navy side. Now the Navy was chasing after the pirates, having the advantage. Even if they wanted to stop the war, that would definitely be the pirates' idea. But they hadn't expected that the person who was stopping it would actually be a Navy soldier, and it seemed that he was a Navy soldier with a very low rank.
"Coby?"
The one who was most familiar with Coby among the Navy was naturally Garp. He was even more full of horror. He completely hadn't expected that Coby would have the courage to stand in front of Akainu, and even want to stop the war.
"Let me down."
Akira patted Atmos's shoulder. Then, while he was stunned, he slid off his back, looking intently at Coby. To tell the truth, he also very much admired this Navy soldier's courage. If it was him, he definitely wouldn't be able to do this kind of thing. Making absurd actions based solely on the kindness in his heart. Only a reckless youth could do it.
Coby completely hadn't realized how shocking his actions were. Gathering the courage in his heart, he looked straight at the ferocious Akainu with tears streaming down his face, roaring, "Stop the war. Don't fight anymore. You're wasting lives. Every soldier has family waiting for them to come home. Our goal has clearly already been achieved, but you still want to relentlessly pursue the pirates who are at their wit's end, continuing this war that could have ended. You're even refusing to save those soldiers who can be treated, continuing to increase the number of victims. Aren't the soldiers who are falling now like fools?"
As the saying goes, children speak the truth. Coby's shout shocked everyone on the battlefield. Everyone on the battlefield subconsciously wanted to wipe out the other side, because this was an opposition that had existed since ancient times. No one would consider as much as Coby, and wouldn't sympathize with the enemy. So, his shout stunned everyone.
Especially those ordinary soldiers. They could be said to be extremely crazy when fighting. But now that they had calmed down, hearing Coby's shout, a resonance immediately emerged in their hearts. The fighting spirit quickly disappeared, their gazes staring blankly at the direction where Coby was, their hearts unable to be calm.
Even the most vicious Blackbeard Pirates had stopped their movements under Coby's shout.
Of course, what was most shocking were those who were watching the world live broadcast. A Navy soldier suddenly appearing, wanting to stop the war. No matter how you looked at it, it felt absurd and unbelievable.
While everyone was shocked, Akainu, however, didn't have any change in expression at all. Instead, he looked fiercely at Coby in front of him, saying in a cold voice, "Your appearance has wasted several seconds of my time. The Navy doesn't need soldiers with distorted values. Die!"
Under the angry roar, Akainu's killing intent rose sharply, punching towards Coby.
"Sigh!"
Akira suddenly sighed lightly, making the people around him very puzzled, thinking that he was sighing for this Navy soldier. But the next moment, they all revealed looks of disbelief.
"Clang!"
A dull sound rang out. Akainu's fist hadn't hit Coby. Instead, it had hit the body of a sword. And when the fist touched the sword body, it quickly turned into magma, not being elementalized actively, but being elementalized passively.
"You've done well, young Navy soldier. The few seconds that you risked your life to strive for will perhaps change the future world situation. Really good."
A mature male voice rang out. Akainu's pupils shrank, looking at the person who had blocked him in shock.
They saw a dignified man, possessing red hair, three scars on his left eye, short stubble on his mouth, wearing a white shirt, loose-fitting capri pants, wearing sandals, and wearing a black cloak, standing in front of Akainu. The only hand he had left was holding a Western sword, which was the one that had blocked Akainu.
At the same time, a huge dragon head pirate ship quickly docked at the bay head. The ones who recognized this pirate ship first were naturally the pirates of the New World. They were all shouting in disbelief, "That ship, the Red Force! It's the New World's Yonko, the Red Hair Pirates' pirate ship. Why is it here?"
The Navy soldiers were also shouting in disbelief, "It's one of the New World's Yonko, Red Hair Shanks."
After blocking Akainu's attack, Red Hair Shanks put the Western sword back into its sheath. And Akainu also calmed down, wisely not taking action again, only looking at Red Hair Shanks with an angry gaze.
At this moment, all the gazes were focused on Red Hair Shanks. He was just standing there, but whether it was the Navy or the pirates, all didn't dare to take action again. Even Blackbeard just laughed loudly, looking at Red Hair Shanks, complex lights such as excitement and anticipation flashing in his eyes.
"I've come here to end this war."
Facing everyone's annotations, Red Hair Shanks said slowly with a serious expression.
As soon as these words came out, the entire Marineford became silent. Whether it was the Navy or the pirates, all were looking at him, being very shocked by what he had said. The Yonko of the New World was actually saying that he had come to end the war.
"Shanks!"
Shanks turned his head to look at Akira. Seeing that Akira's injuries weren't life-threatening, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. Then, he said to Akira, "Akira, this war can end. Don't engage in battle anymore."
Akira snorted coldly, and said, "It's these Navy guys who are relentlessly pursuing us, not that we have to continue fighting. Moreover, Pops's death in battle. We can't swallow this breath no matter what."
Hearing Akira's angry tone, Shanks sighed slightly, and said, "You should know better than me why this war happened. Continuing to fight the Navy will only result in losses for you."
Akira said coldly, "The people of the Whitebeard Pirates have never been afraid of death."
Saying that, Akira turned his head to look at all the pirates, roaring loudly, "Brothers of the Whitebeard Pirates, are you afraid of death?"
"No, we're not afraid, we're not afraid!"
Under Akira's roar, all the pirate crews couldn't help but roar. They had also been very frustrated by the Navy's pursuit. Now that they finally had a space to breathe, the anger in their hearts was ignited by Akira all at once.
Looking at the appearance of the pirates, Shanks's brows furrowed slightly. He had just said that he had come here to stop this war. But Akira's actions were completely like he wasn't giving him face, but instead arousing the pirates' morale. This made it very difficult for him.
"Akira, just give me some face, how about it?"
For Akira, even Shanks could only use a negotiating tone. The main reason was that the relationship between the two of them wasn't ordinary. Otherwise, if it was someone else, he would have already turned hostile.
As a friend, Akira naturally wouldn't really want to make things difficult for Shanks. He knew that Shanks had come to save them. The reason why he was still doing this was actually being forced to.
Although Whitebeard had designated him to become the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, to tell the truth, among the other pirate captains, probably ten out of ten wouldn't obey him.
After all, he wasn't Whitebeard. Even if Whitebeard had personally designated him, he was still very clear about the principle of people changing their attitude after someone's death.
So, what he was doing now was completely to establish prestige for himself, increasing his prestige within the pirate crew. Judging from the current situation, the effect was still good.
This kind of thing could be touched upon and left at that. So, after hearing Shanks's words, Akira quickly raised his hand. Then, the pirates' roar slowly decreased, until it disappeared.
Akira looked at Shanks, and said, "Shanks, I know why you've come. We're friends. I'm very grateful that you're still thinking about us in this time of crisis. I'm a person who never doesn't give friends face. Okay, I'll leave today's matter to you. I believe you won't let me suffer a loss either."
Hearing Akira's words, Shanks smiled wryly. Fortunately, he could be considered to understand Akira, knowing that Akira was just saying polite words, so he didn't get angry.
"Then thank you very much. I will take charge of this matter today."
