Charging into Marine Headquarters to settle the score with Onigumo.
This was something Luo Chen had planned long ago, and today, he had finally done it.
Be it the Marine Admirals, the Marine Hero, or the Fleet Admiral, no one could stop him.
Even if the World Government sent reinforcements, he would not be afraid.
Today, the truth had to be proclaimed to the world.
Genzo's death was not to help a pirate deceive the world.
His bravery and honesty deserved to be remembered by all.
The hundreds of lives lost in Cocoyasi Village also demanded that the final culprit be brought to justice.
The injustice of being hunted all this time would be completely cleared today.
No one could stop him!
Onigumo was like a madman. Even with his six swords scattered on the ground, he still charged.
He looked as if he wanted to headbutt Luo Chen to death.
After all, his arms had been torn off by Luo Chen back in Alabasta.
Luo Chen watched coldly, raised his hand, accurately gripped Onigumo's neck, and lifted him up.
Beside him, Momonga and the other Vice Admirals were still attacking.
Annoyance flashed in Luo Chen's eyes. An azure, energy-based upper-body skeleton appeared around him.
The Susanoo's large hand swept out, swatting Momonga and the others away like flies.
He glanced at Tsuru, saw she wasn't moving, and ignored her.
His gaze returned to Onigumo's face.
"There are many ways to torture someone."
"Cutting off the flesh, slice by slice."
"Letting wooden spikes grow inside your body. I can make tens of thousands of needle-like branches on those spikes."
"Letting these needles drill into every part of your flesh, burst every one of your organs, and shatter every one of your bones..."
As Luo Chen spoke, he slapped a hand on Onigumo's thigh.
Instantly, Onigumo let out a sky-piercing, wretched scream. His whole body twitched violently as if electrocuted.
His thigh swelled up like a balloon, and dense, needle-like protrusions became visible under his skin.
Then, over ten thousand wooden needles burst through his skin, covered in blood and fragments of white bone and flesh.
Onigumo opened his bloody mouth and said, "Is this all? Bring it on if you've got more!"
Luo Chen's eyes were cold. The wooden spikes minced both of Onigumo's thighs.
Even while screaming, he still wouldn't talk.
This made Luo Chen a bit helpless.
'Onigumo is really a tough guy, to withstand such torture.'
He threw the dying Onigumo into the air, and the wooden dragon circling overhead caught him in its mouth.
"If you won't talk, I believe someone else will."
Hearing Luo Chen's words, a sneer appeared on Onigumo's bloody face.
'Someone else will talk? Is Luo Chen referring to Vice Admiral Tsuru or Fleet Admiral Sengoku?'
'It seems both Vice Admiral Tsuru and Fleet Admiral Sengoku know the truth about the East Blue.'
'But Luo Chen trying to force the information from them is just wishful thinking.'
'Even if I die, I will die as a just Marine, and let the world remember Luo Chen as this heinous pirate...' Onigumo swore in his heart.
Luo Chen's gaze fell on Vice Admiral Tsuru and Sengoku.
"I'll give you one chance. Tell the truth now, and I can leave."
"In your dreams!" The Great Buddha form of Sengoku, still pinned to the ground, roared, "The truth is that you have committed one monstrous crime after another, and you still want to deceive the world! Stop daydreaming!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru's eyes showed a fierce struggle.
She was hesitating whether to speak.
'If I speak, the Marines will completely lose their authority, lose all face, and find it difficult to maintain their foothold on the seas.'
'If I don't, my conscience fills me with guilt.'
Seeing one so resolute and the other silent, Luo Chen lost his patience.
He said coldly, "Sengoku, Tsuru, if you don't talk, it's either because you're worried about your own reputations, or you're worried about the Marines' reputation."
"Perhaps the latter is more likely."
"It can be said that you built the Marines of today, and you've dedicated everything to them."
"In that case, when the entire Marine force is about to be annihilated, will you still be able to keep silent?"
After speaking, Luo Chen scanned the entire Marineford battlefield, assessing the Marines' remaining combat strength.
'Currently, at the Admiral level, Akainu is the only one who can still move.'
'No, is that Garp?'
Luo Chen looked at the shattered coastline in the distance.
A figure, soaking wet and covered in blood, climbed out of the sea.
It was Garp, who he had previously knocked into the sea.
The old man could only sit on the ground, gasping for breath, and staring at him from afar.
'Akainu, Sengoku, plus a heavily injured Garp... perhaps they can block one small meteorite?'
Having made his assessment, Luo Chen said, "You only have one chance. If you still don't tell the truth after this one chance, not a single one of these Marines will survive."
His words made Sengoku and Tsuru's expressions change. Their eyes held gravity, but also confusion.
'What does he mean?'
'Is Luo Chen threatening us with the nearly 100,000 Marines at Marineford?'
'And what does he mean by "one chance"?'
Luo Chen said nothing. Endless azure energy appeared around him.
In an instant, he condensed a thousand-meter-tall Susanoo.
The Susanoo didn't attack. Instead, its form gradually changed, finally becoming a two-headed, four-armed figure.
The four giant arms formed hand seals, two by two.
Sengoku and Tsuru, the Marines and pirates on the battlefield, all stared intently at Luo Chen's movements.
But strangely, nothing happened.
No attack came.
At the same time, on the shore, countless giant trees burst from the seabed, building dozens of simple, giant ships.
"If you don't want to die, leave Marineford immediately."
Luo Chen's voice came from above the thousand-meter Martial God Giant.
This stunned many pirates who were seeing such a scene for the first time.
'Leave?'
'What does Luo Chen mean? Is he about to launch a large-scale attack?'
'But no matter how large the attack's range, its aftershock alone couldn't possibly kill them, pirates renowned in the New World, right?'
'Unless Luo Chen was intentionally attacking them.'
As many pirates hesitated, a sudden change occurred on Whitebeard and Akainu's battlefield.
"Dog-Bite Crimson Lotus!"
Akainu's right fist turned into a magma dog's head, biting at Whitebeard.
Whitebeard's long blade was covered in a milky-white halo, and the atmosphere around the halo was faintly trembling.
This was the power of the Paramecia-type Tremor-Tremor Fruit, able to shake the air, the sea, and the land.
He slashed his blade at Akainu's magma dog head.
But an instant before their attacks collided, a black figure rushed out from behind a nearby boulder.
"Dark Water!"
The black figure was huge, with a coarse face and messy black beard. It was "Blackbeard" Marshall D. Teach.
A black aura spread from his palm as he rushed in from the side and pressed it onto Whitebeard's Murakumogiri.
The white halo on Whitebeard's blade was actually swallowed by the darkness in Teach's hand.
Teach shouted, firmly gripping the blade of Whitebeard's Murakumogiri.
Whitebeard's eyes narrowed. He had no choice but to clench his left fist and punch at Akainu's "Dog-Bite Crimson Lotus."
Because of the hasty counterattack, this fist failed to gather enough strength or Tremor-Tremor Fruit power.
Whitebeard's left fist was blasted aside, and he quickly dodged to the side.
The magma dog head grazed past Whitebeard's chest.
"Tss tss tss..."
Whitebeard's chest was scorched black by the high temperature, his flesh giving off a burnt smell.
Blackbeard Teach took this opportunity to kick out, landing right on the penetrating sword wound on Whitebeard's chest.
Instantly, blood splashed.
Whitebeard grunted, taking half a step back.
"Dark Hound!"
Akainu's attack came again, giving Whitebeard no room to breathe.
"Pops!" Whitebeard's pirates cried out in alarm.
The many commanders glared at Teach, their eyes filled with hatred and killing intent.
The 4th division commander, Thatch, had been killed by Teach.
Ace went to hunt down Teach, but was defeated by Teach and handed over to the Marines.
If Luo Chen hadn't arrived and helped, their Whitebeard Pirates would likely have all perished at Marineford.
Now, Teach had reappeared, helping Akainu attack Pops.
Putting Pops in mortal danger.
