Assassin's Creed: Pirates of the Caribbean

Chapter 38 This time, it was a miserable defeat

Five vice admirals were crossing from small boats, using their own observation Haki to survey the surrounding seas in all directions. As vice admirals of the Navy Headquarters, their observation Haki could cover an area of ​​several hundred meters.

At the same time, some navy soldiers jumped into the sea without hesitation. "Admiral Sakaski! Admiral Kuzan!" Vice Admiral Moore jumped from the flagship to a small boat, his observation Haki surging to the sea like a tide, searching for all possible clues.

He muttered to himself, "You must be safe!" At this moment, Vice Admiral Moore's inner anxiety was beyond words. You know, these two are the two pillars of the Navy Headquarters.

"Crack...knock..."

As Vice Admiral Moore searched nervously, a chill quietly spread to the edge of the boat. He immediately shouted, "Admiral Aokiji!"

Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, Vice Admiral Moore had already judged the situation from the icy breath and the feedback from his observation Haki. Sure enough, the ice gradually spread and a head emerged from the sea. Although the head was covered by a thin layer of ice, the navy officers present recognized him at a glance - Admiral Aokiji.

One has to admire the power of the ice fruit. Even if one falls into the sea, it can form a layer of ice barrier around itself to prevent contact with sea water, thus maintaining its strength.

Aokiji slowly pulled himself out of the seawater, and climbed onto the boat little by little under the shocked and horrified gazes of many navy officers. When he was completely on the boat, everyone saw his miserable appearance now - he was almost covered with wounds, and although the bleeding had stopped, the blackened bloodstains still shocked everyone present.

"Admiral Aokiji... although he is still alive, his injuries... are really horrific!" Lieutenant General Moore looked at the wounds on Aokiji's body worriedly, and couldn't help but sigh. Even with such serious injuries, Admiral Aokiji was still able to crawl out of the sea. It was really admirable!

Aokiji glanced at Moore and the excited navy, then pointed to the sea not far away: "Hurry up and check on Sakaski... I have frozen him, go down and bring him ashore."

Unlike Aokiji, Akainu's magma fruit is extremely powerful and can evaporate seawater, but if he is seriously injured and sinks into the sea, there is nothing he can do. Magma cannot isolate seawater, and once his real body comes into contact with seawater, the consequences are often fatal.

So, after Akainu fell into the sea, Aokiji quickly used cold air to freeze him...

"Yes! Admiral Kuzan!" Moore responded immediately and instructed all the navy to take action. "Everyone, hurry over there! Admiral Sakaski is over there! Those who can swim, go into the sea and save Admiral Sakaski!"

Soon, a large number of navy officers gathered in accordance with Aokiji's instructions, jumped into the sea, and found the frozen Akainu according to the instructions. With the joint efforts of everyone, they successfully lifted Akainu onto the boat.

"General Sakaski...how are you?" "How is it possible that you are safe and sound...with such injuries, even a general would..." "It's terrible! That man only used one move!"

On the boat, Akainu was frozen in the ice, revealing his body through the translucent ice, which seemed to have been destroyed by a strong explosion. It was charred and black, like a broken rag doll. If it weren't for the faint light in his lowered eyes, people would have thought he was dead.

However, at this moment, even if he was still alive, he was not far from death. After suffering three shadow energy attacks and the final burst damage from the Shunyu Shadow Killing Array, Akainu couldn't even melt the ice on his body by itself, which is why he was still trapped in the ice after being brought aboard.

"Hua La La..." Aokiji understood Akainu's predicament, stepped forward, released cold air from his palm, and quickly melted the ice wrapped around Akainu. After the ice melted, Akainu was unstable, but fortunately, two commodores beside him supported him in time, avoiding the embarrassing scene of falling in front of thousands of navy officers.

"Huff huff..." Akainu was breathing heavily and his eyes were blurred. At this moment, the voice of Sengoku suddenly came from the Den Den Mushi in Moore's arms.

"Hey, Lieutenant General Moore! How are General Sakaski and General Kuzan doing?"

It turned out that after seeing Akainu and Aokiji both fall into the sea during Li Xuan's live broadcast, Zhan Guo was extremely anxious. However, Li Xuan immediately shut down the live broadcast, so Zhan Guo could not learn about the subsequent progress. While ordering Moore and others to find Akainu and Aokiji, he was waiting for news. Until this moment, when he heard the exclamations of the navy, his heart was in his throat - what was the final outcome of the two major forces of the Navy Headquarters, Akainu and Aokiji?

Before Moore responded, Aokiji spoke first: "Marshal, we are still alive for the time being..." Indeed, at least Aokiji himself would not die from his injuries, but he was unsure about Akainu's condition.

"Admiral..." Akainu asked hoarsely, "Why do you want us to retreat?"

As a navy admiral who pursues justice, Akainu still can't understand why they received the order to retreat? They are admirals, representing the beliefs of many navy! If they escape, how much negative impact will it have on the navy's image? Once the news leaks, how will other people on the sea view their navy - two admirals of the navy headquarters chose to flee directly in the face of the enemy?

"Huh... As long as you are still alive!" Sengoku heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the voices of Aokiji and Akainu. The strength and determination of the admirals of the navy are indeed far superior to those 0 members of the World Government who lack the heart of a strong man. Although they are both admiral-level fighters, the gap between them is obvious. But he was also deeply grateful that the two survived, otherwise he would be sad for the future of the navy - first his face was damaged, and then a defeat was broadcast live.

However, after Akainu raised the question, Sengoku hesitated for a moment, and then replied solemnly: "Do you think that Shadow Assassin Qi and his men have been repelled in the Holy Land of Marijoa? Vice Admiral Garp and the World Government's pursuers are chasing them?"

Next to the Den Den Mushi, not only Akainu and Aokiji, but all the navy were listening attentively, wanting to know what made Sengoku order the two navy admirals to retreat without a fight.

"This is outrageous! Shadow Assassin Seven directly raided the holy land of Marijoa, and live-broadcasted the killing of the Celestial Dragons! In order to kill such a lunatic, the World Government and the Navy successively dispatched Vice Admiral Garp, General Borsalino, Marshal Cyborg, and two general-level 0 members to participate in the roundup operation!"

"However, the Assassin's League has many masters! First there was Qing Feng, then there was Jie. Each of them has terrifying strength that can rival two generals! And that shadow assassin Qi even concealed his true strength! The battle went from one end of the Holy Land Marijoa to the other, and a member of the 0 was killed by the Instant Prison Shadow Killing Formation - it was the same move that was used on Akainu just now, weird and powerful, making it hard to defend against!"

"Before evacuating, Shadow Assassin Qi swung his sword, forcing Marshal Steel to the brink of life and death, and even cut the entire Holy Land Mary Joa in half!"

Zhan Guo said this with bitterness and helplessness in his words, "This time, the Assassin's League publicly broadcasted a challenge to kill the Celestial Dragons, directly humiliating the World Government and the Navy. In the duel with us, they were unscathed, and no one died or was seriously injured! On our side, a 0 member at the level of an admiral was killed in the battle, the World Government's commander-in-chief, Marshal Cyborg, is on the verge of death, and the two of you are also seriously injured!"

"This time, it's a disastrous defeat! It's a disastrous defeat for the World Government and the Navy!"

Zhan Guo's words were like a huge rock falling to the ground, making everyone dizzy, even Akainu and Aokiji were deeply shocked. I never thought that this Assassin's League would do so many shocking things in a short period of time - live broadcast of killing Celestial Dragons, openly provoking the World Government, killing Admiral Level 0 members, each of which could shock the world. And this Assassin's League not only did it all, but also retreated without any damage... This made it difficult for Akainu and Aokiji to accept the reality for a while. The pursuers they thought were originally defeated by the Assassin's League!
