One Piece: Rise of an Empire

"fire punch!"

With Luffy's continuous efforts, Ace was finally rescued. With a fire fist, raging fire spewed out of Ace's hand, helping Luffy resist the attack.

(I don’t want to write the word count of the original book, please watch the anime or manga by yourself, I just revisited it anyway.)
On the other side, the scarred Whitebeard also made up his mind when he saw Ace was rescued.

"Little ones, the whole army retreats!"

Whitebeard himself also knew that this battle would be the final battle of his life. He had crossed the sea for too long, and the current era no longer belonged to him.

Thinking back to the past, people of the same era as Whitebeard have long since passed away, and unknowingly, he has become a remnant of the era.

Just use his broken body to help Roger again.

"Dad!"

Everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates also understood what Whitebeard meant, but how could they be reconciled? Can the Pirates without Whitebeard still be called the Whitebeard Pirates?

Everyone, including Ace, has a family-like affection for White Beard, how could they watch White Beard die.

"I am a remnant of the old era, and there is no boat that can carry me in the new era!"

Whitebeard used his remaining strength to send his sons away from the battlefield
Whitebeard's memories are still going on, how could he not know that Tiki is very strong, but Tiki touched the bottom line on Whitebeard's boat.

On the other side, Marco's eyes were full of tears, he hated himself, of course why didn't he stop Ace, or go with him.

However, he already understood what his father meant, and led everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates to retreat.

Whitebeard didn't listen to Des or Shanks' advice at the time, but he didn't regret not listening to their advice, because he was Whitebeard.

The strongest man in the world!

On the other side, Red Dog and others chased after the deserters of the Whitebeard Pirates, and Luffy was almost exhausted at this time.

At this time, Whitebeard thought of Roger again. Roger once found Whitebeard and told him about the final island.

After Roger's death, Whitebeard ultimately did not take the throne.

He has always kept in mind the regret that Roger told him at the time. He has always known the identity of Ace, and the specialness of treating Ace also comes from the friendship between him and Roger.

On the other side, Akainu was talking about Whitebeard, thereby stimulating Ace and others who were planning to escape.

Sure enough, Ace was successfully irritated by the red dog and started to attack the red dog, but his proud flame ability was completely useless.

"Shaoshao fruit, but the lower fruit of my devil fruit, how could your ability work on me?"

And Marco has been handcuffed by Shanghai Loushi by taking the opportunity and injured.

On the other side, Luo is waiting for Luffy and others to escape, but he knows that now that Ace has been irritated, it is impossible to escape so easily.

"hateful!"

Now that Whitebeard has made plans to be buried, the pirates are completely at a disadvantage and are fleeing everywhere.

And now Luffy's identity has been known to everyone, he is the son of the world's most evil criminal, Dragon.

"Hmph, you can't escape either!"

Seeing that Luffy has no strength, and the strength of the two is very different, Akainu plans to finish Luffy first.

On the other hand, during the live broadcast, everyone has already seen Bucky, and Bucky's reputation has shocked the world this time.

"Hahahaha, as expected of me, Bucky!"

Although Jinbe wanted to stand in front of Akainu, how could he be Akainu's opponent? Now Jinbe's strength is comparable to that of Aaron, and there is still a certain gap compared with the general of the navy, and Jinbe has also suffered a lot of injuries along the way.

Akainu repelled Jinbei, jumped up, his fist turned into magma, and attacked Luffy.

And Luffy has nowhere to escape, he can only sit there, Ace sees Luffy, and a dodge is inserted between Akainu and Luffy.

bump---

"Ace!"

Everyone looked at Ace, there was a lot of thick smoke over there, making people unable to see the situation clearly, but they all understood that the power of Akainu's blow was not something Ace could resist.

"Ace!"

"I am here."

Ace himself was also surprised that the pain he imagined did not come.

Ace looked behind him, and saw a tall man standing in front of him.

The smoke cleared, and everyone found a navy holding a knife to resist the blow from Akainu.

The thick smoke was caused by the extinguishing of the red dog magma, and Dashiqi saw that figure in the distance.

"Isn't that the navy just now? It's my knife."

And Smoker next to him knows the strength of the red dog better than him, and if he can block the attack of the red dog, then this person's strength is very strong.

"This person is definitely not an unknown person."

A navy resisted Akainu's attack and protected Ace, everyone was surprised.

And Akainu was even more angry.

"Boy, what are you doing?"

Akainu didn't recognize Des, and he didn't know the navy that Des incarnated.

"What are you doing? Didn't you see it?"

"Do you want to die? Then I will fulfill you!"

Akainu knows that even if this guy is a real navy, he must be an undercover agent.

Akainu's body slowly melted into lava.

"Ming dog!"

This is Akainu's move to knock off half of Whitebeard's face, and Des knows that Akainu is really murderous.

But so what, Des is not an old white beard.

In an instant, Shigure in Des's hand was covered with armed domineering, and the surrounding area was also covered with black lightning.

"This trick is called, one knife style, the invincible lightning crackling is the best cut in the world!"

Everyone was speechless when they heard Des's name. Although it was very cool, this move......

Do you have to read it out?
bump---

Akainu's lava and the knife in Des's hand did not touch, but collided in the air, and the powerful impact directly shattered the ice.

Des and Akainu worked hard at the same time.

At this moment, Des's mask finally couldn't withstand Des's full attack and broke directly.

"That's... that's Aliunders!"

bump--

The two retreated at the same time, and Des used the recoil to directly hug Ace and Luffy and push them to the shore, and knocked them unconscious.

At this time, Des said to Luo beside him.

"Please, take both of them away."

Luo was also very shocked when he saw the second sea emperor appearing on the battlefield, and this sea emperor was also inextricably linked with his enemy Doflamingo.

However, now is not the time to talk about this, Luo nodded, and quickly boarded the submarine with Luffy and Ace.

"Eleondes, why are you here!" Akainu said angrily.

"I wanted to see the result of this war, but I couldn't help but make a move in the end." Des laughed.

"Then you stay here too!"

"Your words are not funny at all, and do you have that ability?"
