The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

Akainu looked at Maen with a serious expression, "Do you really want to fight to the death? Those captured marines have been scared by you, and it will be difficult for them to dare to fight against you in the future. Why can't you let them go? They can still play a role and fight against the pirates. They will never hinder your actions."

Ma En shook his head firmly. "Vice Admiral Akainu, if we release these prisoners, no one can guarantee whether they will be sent to this battlefield again. How much harm will they cause to our people then? We will never let the tiger go back to the mountain."

Ma En knew that as long as they could completely annihilate this navy, after suffering such a huge loss, the navy would not be able to start another war in a short period of time. On the contrary, if they really let the tiger go back to the mountains, they would be more likely to be surrounded and suppressed by the navy.

Akainu was silent for a while before continuing, "Mr. Maen, if you insist on doing this, then both sides will suffer losses. With my strength, it is still unclear whether the Revolutionary Party can defeat me. I just don't want any more sacrifices on both sides. Enough blood has been shed."

Ma En smiled, "Since Lieutenant General Akainu said so, we, the Revolutionary Party, cannot ignore your good intentions. You and Lieutenant General Aokiji can leave now, and the Red Flag Army will definitely not stop you. As for the army, isn't the victory or defeat on the battlefield clear at a glance?"

At this point, Akainu and Maen were in a stalemate. From the current point of view, it is obvious that the Red Flag Army has an overwhelming advantage, and the defeat of the Navy is a matter of time. However, Akainu obviously cannot accept such a result.

As the commander of this Demon Slayer Order, if he fails to handle this incident properly, it may become a stain on Akainu's career. You should know that there are big defeats and small defeats. If the navy only returns with a defeat, it is a small defeat. It is a loss of face but not of substance. There is still some room for improvement.

But the current situation is obviously not a small defeat. Thousands of navy soldiers were scattered and captured. In terms of proportion, this is about half of the manpower of the entire Demon Slayer Fleet. Thousands of people did not return, and the original God Valley was just as tragic.

Now Akainu is in a dilemma. No matter what the result is, he must at least try his best to save this bad situation. Of course, it would be best if he could get the captured navy back, which is also the highest requirement in Akainu's mind. As for turning defeat into victory, Akainu also knows that it is probably difficult to succeed.

As for Maen, he was arguing with Akainu here, of course not because he wanted to negotiate. He was still trying to buy time for the battle on the sea. Maen's appetite was not satisfied with this, he wanted to spare no one and no ship. As long as he could sink all the navy's warships, then Akainu and Aokiji would have no choice but to accept the established facts.

Without warships, no matter how strong Akainu and Aokiji are, they can't lead the navy across the sea. Akainu believes that what Marne wants is victory, but what Marne wants is not just an ordinary victory. Not only must he win, but he must win cleanly and neatly, and cut off the last hope of the navy.

However, Akainu was actually waiting for a breakthrough. When he failed to gain an advantage in the contest with Maen, Akainu placed his hopes of a breakthrough on Aokiji.

Although Akainu didn't know how the Red Flag Army could cause damage to the navy ships, he still chose to trust Aokiji. More precisely, he believed that Aokiji's fruit ability could deal with various crises on the sea.

Even if the worst happens and Aokiji cannot provide support, at least the warship can be saved. It is worth it for him to take a little risk and wait here.

In this way, Ma En and Akainu, as the commanders of the two sides, both placed their hopes of breaking the deadlock on another battlefield. At this time, the war on the sea had also entered its end.

The good news for the Navy was that Aokiji used his fruit ability to break the torpedo attack of the Red Flag fleet. The bad news was that although the torpedoes were blocked, it provided the Red Flag Army with another platform for attack.

As early as the torpedo attack was effective, Aokiji secretly thought that something was wrong. However, he was restrained by the senior cadres of the Revolutionary Party and could not return to the rear with all his heart. In the end, after the Red Flag Fleet's torpedoes successfully raided two naval warships, Aokiji still used the tactic of killing one thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred of his own.

Aokiji used his ultimate move, Ice Age, in front of the Revolutionary Party cadres, showing everyone what a natural disaster is for a natural fruit ability user. Even though the besieged cadres had been vaccinated by Sauro in advance, they were still amazed when they saw this move that instantly froze the sea.

Although Aokiji used the Ice Age move to amaze all the besieged opponents, only he knew that this was a last resort.

His Ice Age did not distinguish between friend and foe, at least he could not control it so precisely over a large area. After he froze the sea with this move, the Red Flag Army's torpedoes were blocked, but the navy was directly exposed to the Red Flag Fleet's attack.

Aokiji froze the sea and the navy's own warships. Now, the Red Flag Army can use the ice road as a connection to directly attack the navy's warships. And the sword girl also decisively seized this opportunity and issued an order for a full-scale attack immediately after briefly leaving the battle circle.

The Red Flag Army soldiers did not hesitate too much, and quickly formed combat teams according to the warships and launched an attack on the navy warships. Speaking of which, this scene is just like when Aokiji froze the sea during the war on the top, and then the Whitebeard Pirates used the ice to attack the Navy Headquarters.

What is different from the situation in the Battle of Marineford is that the Red Flag Army is much stronger than the pirates. When facing the attack of the Red Flag Army soldiers, the navy on the warships were unable to resist.

In addition, the main force on the warship had already been transferred to the island to participate in the landing operation, and the defense on the warship was even more empty. The nearest naval warship was occupied by the charging Red Flag Army soldiers before Aokiji could react.

Of course, Aokiji's move also saved a lot of navy. At least it is certain that the navy warships that were almost sunk by the torpedoes of the Red Flag Fleet were lucky enough to escape the disaster thanks to Aokiji's frozen sea.

However, their joy did not last long, because they were immediately faced with a frontal attack from a large number of Red Flag Army soldiers.

Among all the remaining warships, only the one farthest away was in a better situation. Not only was it temporarily isolated from the attack of the Red Flag Fleet, but it also had the possibility of escaping.

Relying on the sea tower rock spur below the warship, the navy warship was able to move on the tightly packed ice surface. This was also due to the long distance, and the thin ice layer became the hope of the warship.

Seeing this, Aokiji could only do his best to buy time for the warship that wanted to break the ice and escape. At least, one of the navy's warships survived, and it would not be the end of half of the Demon Slayer Fleet being annihilated in O'Hara. Speaking of which, this can also be regarded as another way to destroy Marne's plan of annihilation.

Just when the war situation at sea was taking a turn for the worse, Akainu was still arguing with Marne about the issue of prisoners, and he wanted to do his best to save the face of the navy.

But soon, this argument will not last long. An unexpected arrival of a man in black will be the last straw, and this war will eventually come to an end.
