Chapter 104: Decisive Battle (Part 3) [VIP]
At first, Shanks thought Yale was an invader who wanted to rule here.
After visiting the islands, he felt that all of the other party's actions had deep meanings, and they might even want to end their chaos and disorder through some extreme means.
But what he didn't expect was that such an extreme method would require sacrificing nearly half of the lives on the planet.
Does this really make sense?
If half the population disappears, can the remaining people really unite?
"Uta! Stop!"
Shanks' voice lacked any of the majesty of the Four Emperors, and even the solemn and murderous aura he had when he arrived here had disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, he was just a father worried about how to wake up his daughter.
Relatives killing each other, he had seen many similar scenes on the way here.
The citizens of the controlled islands seemed to regard their former family members as their most hated enemies, and they wanted to use all their strength to kill them.
And when they successfully kill their loved ones, they will instantly wake up and scream in despair and disbelief at the corpses of their loved ones.
Is this what you wanted to see?
Shanks really wanted to confront Yale in person.
But at this moment, he needs to deal with the threat from Uta first.
The back of the knife blocked the sound waves that were powerful enough to cut through steel. Shanks called out Uta's name, not believing that she would be indifferent to what was happening on the islands.
"Uta! Wake up and take a good look at what's happening now! Think about Mr. Gordon, Luffy! Do you want them to die in front of you?"
The endless sonic attack seemed to pause for a moment.
When hearing the name "Luffy", Uta's cold eyes showed some ripples, but soon became firm again.
"They won't die! They will go to the new world that Captain Yale has promised—a new world without strife, without the gap between rich and poor, without bloodshed and sacrifice—a new world that is ten thousand times better than the present!"
She looked up at Shanks, her eyes filled with hatred and pain of betrayal. "And you, you greedy and cruel pirates, have no right to enter there!"
The tone suddenly rose, and a stronger attack poured down like a storm!
Exoskeleton technology has increased Uta's mobility to an exaggerated level. The spear glows and accumulates even more terrifying power.
Shanks's eyes suddenly became stern.
He saw that beneath the surface of madness and resentment, the child's eyes were filled with pain and struggle.
Is it really okay to hide the truth of that year?
He suddenly wondered, if he had told Uta the truth directly after that incident, how would things have turned out?
But there are no ifs in reality.
It is like a one-way road that extends forever. People can only choose one of several options and cannot go back and try other routes.
"…I'm sorry, Uta."
Shanks' voice deepened, all the pain was forcibly suppressed, and then turned into an unquestionable decision.
A flash of cold light!
Shanks did not use any slashing attacks, but instead wrapped the Conqueror's Haki around the sword.
The whole person turned into a stream of red light, accurately shuttling through the dense sonic attacks, and approached Uta at a speed that even the tactical eyepiece could not lock onto.
The lock frame in front of the eyes changes rapidly, and the rapid "beep, beep, beep" reminder makes people panic.
Uta's attacks began to become disorganized. Compared with the top combat power in this world, the power of technology was obviously still a little lacking.
In just a short moment, Shanks arrived beside Uta.
He did not use Griffin, but just used his hand as a blade to hit Uta's neck, then quickly embraced Uta's unconscious body and gently placed him on the ground.
Then, he looked at another person who appeared in front of the spaceship.
A dagger with self-tracking function was thrown out.
Buggy stared at Shanks, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and felt that the decades of resentment he had accumulated since childhood was magnified to the extreme at this moment.
Why!
Why is Shanks so popular with the captain and the others?
Why did Captain Roger give the straw hat to Shanks?
Why is there such a big gap between them?
Why doesn't Shanks want to go to the final island!
"Red-Haired Shanks, let's fight to the death!"
Bucky roared, his eyes red as he rushed towards his former friend.

"Colonel Smoker!" Seeing the colonel's eyes gradually regaining clarity, Tashigi cried with joy, and quickly wiped her eyes before the tears really fell.
"I'm glad you're awake. Let's cut to the chase. We have more important things to do right now!"
“…Da…Siqi?” Smoker was confused for a moment.
In a trance, it was as if he was still the colonel of Rogue Town and the alien invaders had never appeared.
He looked around and then at the bloody weapon in his hand, his face suddenly turned ugly.
He finally remembered everything that had happened recently.
Yale's previous disregard for them gave them a wrong perception.
They speculated about what Yale wanted them to do, and also speculated that perhaps they all had their own persistence and will, making it difficult for Yale to control them.
Whatever the reason, the result is the same.
They were a bit reckless when they took formal action and did not consider the possibility that Yale would suddenly take control of them.
But even if they considered it, it would be useless, as they had no other choice.
After dispersing the conscious people to bury EMP on various islands, Smoker lost consciousness and became one of Yale's weapons, launching a fatal attack on the familiar navy.
Now that he has regained consciousness, Smoker has not forgotten what he did when he was controlled.
He didn't even dare to look at his naval colleagues who were killed by him, and he hated Yale even more.
Wiping his face, Smoker took out the EMP device from his pocket and asked Tashigi to distribute it to the surviving marines.
"Only by killing Yale can this war end." He ordered: "Tashigi, lead the navy to destroy as many exoskeletons as possible on the civilians. We cannot allow casualties to continue to escalate!"
"Understood!" Tashigi saluted and hurriedly stopped Smoker when he saw him about to leave.
"Colonel Smoker, if he's controlled again..."
"If I'm controlled again, don't show mercy, just kill me!"
Even if there was a warning before being controlled, Smoker would kill himself without hesitation.
But before committing suicide or being killed, he would definitely punch Yale hard in the face!
A loud rumbling sound came from a distance, and the earth was shaking.
"Kuzan—you bastard! Wake up for me!"
Even louder than the bang was Garp's extremely angry voice.
His clenched fists were filled with extreme dominance, and the whistling sound caused the air to wail.
There are no fancy techniques, but the purest, most primitive and most powerful blow - falling to the bottom of the sea!
With a loud rumbling sound, the ground of the entire battlefield was like a fragile multi-layered biscuit, breaking and collapsing layer by layer.
A huge, bottomless pit was formed in an instant, and the darkness seemed to lead directly to hell.
The terrifying shock wave carried rubble and submerged Admiral Aokiji in a deep pit.
“Help!”
"Hurry up and save them!"
Only after the loud noise died down could the chaotic shouts of the navy be barely heard.
But they were not trying to save Aokiji, but to save the navy who were caught off guard and attacked by Aokiji's sudden betrayal.
However, how could ordinary navy withstand the fatal blow of the navy admiral?
Treatment has long been ineffective, and their lives will forever remain in the unbelievable moment of being attacked.
"Yale!" Karp clenched his fists, and the name squeezed out from between his clenched teeth seemed to carry a heavy smell of blood.
He knew that he couldn't blame Aokiji for being controlled, it was all Yale's fault.
The other party's cruelty and malice were beyond their imagination.
"Mr. Garp…."
After climbing out of the deep pit, Aokiji Kuzan's eyes were filled with deep fear and anger, as well as self-blame for his colleagues who were killed by his own hands.
"You little brat, it's still not too late if you wake up!" Garp slapped Aokiji on the back who had just crawled up. His serious expression showed no sign of his previous eccentric look.
"Now is not the time to blame yourself and feel regretful. Yale is completely uncontrollable no matter who he wants to control. Even I could become a puppet."
"……I know."
Aokiji closed his eyes and turned the weakness in his eyes into determination and anger.
Looking towards the center of the island group, they continued to move forward unswervingly.
Fighting those who are controlled is just a waste of time.
Their real enemy is Yale, and only by defeating Yale can they truly liberate this planet!
*
Only by defeating Yale can the planet be truly liberated.
Vegapunk also realized this.
At this moment, he was standing in front of a huge fusion furnace, cooperating with his clones in tacit understanding, making the final preparations.
When Stussy found this place, he saw six Vegapunks working together.
She breathed a sigh of relief, observed quietly for a moment, and then greeted, "Master, are you all okay?"
The sudden sound startled the Vegapunks.
Lilith and Atlas immediately raised their weapons and looked over. When they found that it was someone they knew, they put down their weapons in surprise.
"Stusi, it's you!"
"I was so scared! I thought I was discovered!"
"Sorry, I was so happy to see you guys, I thought..." Stussy trailed off.
She knew now wasn't the time to reminisce, so she quickly changed the subject. "Where are the others on Future Island? When I got here, the shield wasn't even on..."
"What?!" The Vegapunks all looked surprised.
Edison flew to a screen in disbelief and tapped it with his five fingers.
"That's impossible! I activated the institute's protective shield—ah! How could it be—it was York who activated the shield?!"
The Vegapunks were even more shocked.
Stussy also realized that there were only six Vegapunks present, and one York, who represented desire, was missing.
