Chapter 86 Akainu’s Conspiracy (Ch 86)

On the other side, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates are doing their best to protect Ace’s departure. They know that only by letting Ace leave safely can they ensure that Whitebeard’s will can be passed on.
The members of the Straw Hat Pirates followed Ace closely, determined to fight with Ace to the end.
However, just as they were about to approach the exit, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.
Everyone looked closely and found that the person who came was another admiral of the Navy Headquarters – Aokiji! The arrival of Aokiji made the navy soldiers present very excited. They shouted “Great, it’s Admiral Aokiji!” The sound resounded throughout the battlefield.
Aokiji stood there, emitting a cold aura. He looked at the pirates in front of him indifferently and said coldly: “You guys should stop here!”
These words made the pirates feel heavy-hearted, as they realized that it would not be easy to break through Aokiji’s defense line.
In the crowd, Robin looked at Aokiji with a complicated expression, she recalled her past experiences. And Zoro, Sanji and other members also seemed particularly nervous, they knew Aokiji’s terrifying strength as an admiral.
Ace protected Luffy tightly behind him and said to Aokiji with a serious face: “Leave it to me.” He understood that if they wanted to move forward, they must first solve the powerful enemy in front of them, which was a stumbling block on their way forward.
Bing looked at Aokiji with a complicated expression. Zoro, Sanji and others were also very nervous. They had seen the strength of Admiral Aokiji, who was a terrifying existence.
Ace protected Luffy behind him and said firmly: “Luffy, you guys retreat.”
Luffy looked at Ace, nodded, and then led the Straw Hat Pirates to retreat.
Aokiji raised his hand, and half of his body quickly turned into ice. Ace also raised his hand, and half of his body began to burn rapidly. They were like two burning fireballs, illuminating the darkness around them.
“Exploding Pheasant’s Beak!” Aokiji sent out a huge ice bird, spread its wings and flew towards Ace. The ice bird was like a ferocious beast, pouncing on Ace with its fangs and claws bared.
“Mirror Flame!” Ace released a fierce flame, which collided violently with the ice bird. The flame was like a burning meteor, crossing the sky and colliding with the ice bird.
The two attacks collided with each other, and a large amount of smoke instantly spread out, like a thick fog covering the entire battlefield.
However, as the two attacks continued to cancel each other out, the size of the ice bird became smaller and smaller, like an ice sculpture melted by the scorching sun.
When the navy soldiers saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded and said in horror: “No way! How can we deal with the enemy that even Admiral Aokiji can’t deal with?” Is the hope that they have finally raised going to be shattered just like that?
Aokiji was not at all surprised or confused that his attack had no effect. He knew very well that there was a mutual restraint between ice and fire. It would be impossible for these two natural elements to determine the winner in a short period of time. Just like the contest between water and fire, no one could easily defeat the other.
At this moment, several streams of boiling magma dripped from a figure, splashing on the ground, making a sizzling sound and emitting a burst of white smoke.
This sudden change scared everyone, especially the pirates from the Whitebeard Pirates. Their faces changed drastically, thinking that some powerful devil fruit user had launched an attack.
When the naval soldiers saw clearly the traces left by the dripping lava, they showed expressions of surprise and excitement.
Because they recognized the owner of the magma – Admiral Akainu, one of the highest combat forces in the Marine Headquarters and possessing the ability of the natural magma fruit!
Admiral Akainu was seen walking with heavy steps, emitting a fiery aura, like a moving volcano.
He held a huge lava fist in his hand and swung it violently, instantly blasting several pirates in front of him into ashes. Then, he walked forward slowly, each step carrying a heavy momentum that made people feel fearful.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let them escape from here!” Admiral Akainu shouted to the navy soldiers behind him. His voice was as loud as thunder, shaking the entire battlefield.
Hearing this, all the navy soldiers cheered and jumped for joy. They were full of confidence in the admiral. After all, Akainu was the top warrior in the navy. With him, the Whitebeard Pirates would never be able to escape.
And now Whitebeard has been seriously injured and has no strength to fight again. The victory of this war seems to be doomed.
At this time, the person who smiled the brightest was none other than Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. He was extremely happy with the current situation because he was keen on war and chaos.
Doflamingo laughed loudly and said, “Fuffuff~ This is so interesting! Who could have expected the current situation to be so unexpected! Marines, how should you respond?”
“Or how can the Whitebeard Pirates escape from this predicament? Does the Navy Headquarters intend to fight to the death? Or will the World Government send a helping hand? Come on! Let’s immerse ourselves in this fierce battle!”
Doflamingo raised his hands high, shouting excitedly, his face filled with ecstasy.
He continued with a wanton smile, “The winner is justice! So, who will win this time? I can’t wait to witness the final result!”
Doflamingo is eagerly awaiting the outcome of the war. Will the Whitebeard Pirates or the Navy Headquarters be the final winner? He is also quite interested in the unknown future.
To be fair, judging from the overall strength, the probability of the Navy Headquarters winning seems to be higher.
Akainu saw Fire Fist Ace and Straw Hat Luffy fleeing, and his eyes were fixed on them like a hawk. He knew clearly in his heart that one was the blood of Pirate King Roger, and the other was the son of revolutionary Dragon.
No matter which one they are, they must not be let go easily, because the blood flowing in their bodies is that disgusting evil blood.
Akainu quickly ran towards the direction of Fire Fist Ace and Straw Hat Luffy. His speed was as fast as lightning. Many members of the Whitebeard Pirates saw Akainu chasing after Ace and they shot without hesitation.
However, Akainu turned a blind eye to these small attacks. He knew his own strength very well and this level of attack could not hurt him at all.
Ace soon realized that Akainu was chasing him, and he knew that he must not fight to the end and must escape as soon as possible.
But Akainu suddenly frowned and attacked with words: “Whitebeard is a complete loser. Do you think you can escape successfully after being rescued? In fact, Whitebeard is nothing more than this!”
