"I never imagined that Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, would actually have a brother. He's actually a member of the World Government, and even one of those high and mighty Celestial Dragons."
Everyone was shocked and bewildered, completely unable to accept such a change.
From a lowly pirate to a supreme Celestial Dragon, Shanks only took a dozen seconds.
"The ship... the captain actually has a twin brother, and even the three scars on his face are exactly the same."
Lucky Roux's eyes widened in disbelief; he had never imagined that Shanks had a twin brother named Stinky Shanks.
If you weren't familiar with Shanks, you probably wouldn't be able to tell who Shanks is and who the real Shanks is.
Beckman took a deep drag of his cigarette and stared intently at Shanks.
It's impossible for them to go back to how things were before.
Figarand Garin looked at Shanks standing behind him and said smugly to Roger, "Roger, you didn't expect that the successor you chose would be my son, did you?"
However, Roger ignored him.
Because he has long since lost control of his body and is now just a puppet that only knows how to fight.
Figarand Garin had expected to see Roger's disappointed expression, but it never came.
The next moment, Roger appeared almost instantly in front of Figarand Garin, slashing horizontally with his longsword.
With a "whoosh," crimson clouds filled the sky, and blood-red light surged like a tide. The overwhelming killing intent made the weak's legs go weak.
Facing the fierce slash, Figaland Garin snorted coldly and raised his sword to parry.
The two immediately clashed, their red lights colliding wildly on the ground.
"Clang clang clang clang clang!"
A series of metallic clanging sounds rang out, and the shockwaves generated by each expansion made the shattered ground tremble and the seawater ripple continuously.
Rocks watched the two fighting with great interest; they were the ones who had once besieged him in God Valley.
If they hadn't joined forces, who could have killed him?
Now that he sees Roger and Figaland Garin fighting like dogs, he naturally stands by and watches them fight to the death.
The Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates suffered heavy losses, and the five surviving admirals were unable to break free from their battles with Garp and Admiral Byakko.
Even though all five of them were Marine Admirals, they were unable to defeat Garp and Admiral Byakko, who possessed immortal bodies.
"Don't give up! Justice will prevail over evil. As long as we're here, the Navy is doomed!"
Akainu punched Admiral Byakko away, then turned and roared at the Marines who had no will to fight.
Upon hearing this, the navy personnel stood up, their fighting spirit slightly ignited.
"Yes, our generals are still fighting valiantly. How can we surrender now? For ourselves, for our generals, for justice, we will never admit defeat!"
The naval soldiers roared and charged at the remaining Whitebeard Pirates.
At that moment, they had only one thought in their minds: killing one wouldn't be a loss, killing two would be a gain.
On the beach, Lu Renjia sneered as he saw the navy still putting up a stubborn resistance.
They've all been completely brainwashed; they know the World Government and the Navy are no good, yet they still fight for them.
Isn't this just complaining about how long you have to live?
Or do they believe their sacrifice is for the common people, for world stability?
That would be an even bigger joke.
After this battle, the civilians will not only not be grateful to the navy soldiers who died in the battle, but they may even be whipped and insulted by them.
Even if they know that the Navy and the World Government's affairs have nothing to do with them, they will still be condemned for eternity.
Ordinary people will only think that when an avalanche comes, no snowflake is innocent.
If you are in the Navy, you are all in cahoots and will have to pay the price for the countless crimes committed by the Navy leadership and the World Government.
"Ha, what a bunch of pathetic bastards. Do they think they can get away with it all by dying? How laughable."
To be honest, Lu Renjia felt that the most pitiful people in the world of One Piece were the Marines who worked diligently for "justice".
They are the true embodiment of justice, not those high-ranking lieutenant generals, generals, and marshals who fight for power every day.
The justice they bear is nothing more than their own idea of justice.
For example, Kizaru's ambiguous justice, Aokiji's lazy justice, and Akainu's absolute justice are all their own interpretations of justice.
Only the lower-ranking naval officers, who are not qualified to speak of justice, implicitly believe that the navy's justice is the true justice.
That's why those lower-ranking naval officers are the ones who truly bear the burden of justice.
Just like that T. Penn, he's the one who has the right to speak of justice.
Even though he was eventually killed by the civilians he had saved, he never thought of taking them with him on his journey.
This is indeed justice, and it is also a matter of great principle.
However, in Lu Renjia's opinion, that was utter nonsense.
What justice can you talk about when you're already dead?
If he dies, will others accept his ridiculous sense of justice?
The world of One Piece is extremely cruel; for those without any background, the law of the jungle prevails.
Without strength, one can only be slaughtered and do nothing.
Are the lower-ranking naval soldiers not working hard enough?
No, they've already tried their best.
The requirements for joining the Navy alone eliminated 80% to 90% of the applicants.
But they are ultimately just ordinary people, no matter how hard they try.
Against Devil Fruit users and Haki users, they would be easy prey.
They are the typical example of people who believe that no effort will bring rewards, and even if they do, they will not be rewarded.
It's not to say there's no chance to become stronger; there are the Devil Fruits, treasures on the high seas, the Six Powers of the Navy, and the Haki of the world.
Opportunities to become stronger always exist, but they simply fail to seize them.
"To fight to the death knowing you're outmatched is just foolishness disguised as passion. That statement is absolutely right!"
Lu Renjia chuckled lightly, showing no pity for the naval soldiers' fearless fighting.
Since the Navy offended him first, let's just make him disappear from the world completely.
Roger and Garp were both killed and their spirits crushed, and naturally, the naval soldiers were also subjected to this process.
He clapped his hands lightly, and two coffins rose from the ground.
The coffin disappeared, and Kizaru and Aokiji, resurrected through Edo Tensei, appeared where the coffin had been.
Lu Renjia had resurrected them long ago, but the reason he didn't let them act immediately was to see if those navy personnel were truly beyond redemption.
As it turns out, they were indeed beyond help.
If he had turned around and left Marineford directly, Lu Renjia might have been able to pretend he hadn't seen it.
Since they're so eager to die, let's grant their wish.
“Go to Marineford and kill them. I don’t want to see another survivor.”
After the order was given, Lu Renjia used the Flying Thunder God Technique to instantly transport the two of them to Marineford.
The pirates and marines, engrossed in their battle, were completely unaware of the danger that was about to strike.
Kizaru was teleported to the air above Marineford, while Aokiji was teleported to the ground.
In an instant, the sky was illuminated by a brilliant yellow light, while the ground was shrouded in a white, chilling aura.
"The Eight-Foot Jade Curved Jewel!"
Ice Age!
The two attacked simultaneously, launching an indiscriminate assault on everyone in Marineford!
