Chapter 51: Squard?

"Ahh"

The pirates rushing toward Yami were instantly knocked away.

The dark red Susanoo skeleton extended two bone hands, one gripping a spear and sweeping the pirates aside with a single motion.

"What kind of monster is this? Why can't it be defeated?"

"Swords can't cut it, and cannonballs are useless. What kind of Devil Fruit is this?"

The Whitebeard Pirates looked at Yami slowly walking toward them, their eyes filled with despair.

Ordinary attacks couldn't break through the Susanoo's defense.

Although it remained only the most basic skeleton form, even cannonballs couldn't breach it.

Susanoo's arms continued waving, knocking pirates away.

Yami showed no mercy to these common pirates.

A pirate was a pirate.

Yami didn't believe these individuals resembled Luffy and his crew.

However, Yami's activities of eliminating pirates attracted the attention of a Whitebeard Pirates division commander.

A man approached with a meteor hammer in his hands, targeting Yami.

The weapon still failed to break Susanoo's bones, though it created cracks and knocked Yami back a certain distance.

"Let me be your opponent."

Rakuyo gripped the meteor hammer's chain, the weapon swaying like a venomous snake.

Yami was naturally pleased to have someone accompany him in this performance.

When he began fighting this opponent, he chose not to strike with lethal intent, avoiding drawing too much attention.

"You coward, don't hide if you have any courage."

After Rakuyo and Yami fought for a while, he grew frustrated.

His attacks couldn't hit his opponent at all.

The enemy occasionally spat out small fireball-like attacks, but they had no effect on him.

He felt as though he was being toyed with.

There was a sense of mounting annoyance from being teased.

Yami naturally ignored him while simultaneously eliminating several other pirates.

"Damn it."

Rakuyo was enraged.

The Sharingan anticipated every move, so he naturally couldn't threaten Yami.

Yami didn't want to abandon this suitable target, so he expressed soon after that he was fighting seriously.

At this time, except for Bartholomew Kuma, a cyborg who had completely lost his consciousness, and Gecko Moria, the fool, all the other Shichibukai were half-assedly fighting.

Yami successfully blended into this group, waiting for his target to appear.

"He's coming…"

Yami raised his head and looked at the sky.

Luffy still appeared on the War at Marineford battlefield just as in the original plot.

"A chance…"

"Die!"

Rakuyo rapidly rotated his meteor hammer hundreds of times to accumulate power, then hurled it directly at Yami.

"[Great Ball Rasengan]."

Yami formed a large orb with his backhand and struck back.

The collision impact cleared more than ten meters, knocking people away with the shockwave.

"You bastard, you obviously possess such strong power, but you don't take fighting seriously. Are you looking down on me?"

Rakuyo said angrily.

But Yami didn't care at all what this person thought.

"Bang!"

Luffy and the others' warship struck the ice hard.

"You'll regret this…"

"[Meteor Strike: One Hundred Times]!"

Rakuyo went and used his ultimate technique.

In ten seconds, throwing his meteor hammer a hundred times, even a twenty-meter giant would fall if hit by this attack.

"You're so noisy…"

But as soon as his attack launched, a voice sounded directly behind him.

Rakuyo had no time to dodge.

A [Rasengan] struck his back directly, knocking him unconscious instantly.

Like a cannonball, he flew directly back into the harbor and crashed into the Moby Dick.

‘I’ll find someone who talks less. If that doesn't work, I’ll just eliminate the surrounding pirates.’

Yami was genuinely bored with the meteor hammer captain; he talked too much.

Then he slowly moved forward.

Next came the Navy's internal performance to see who wouldn't show Vice Admiral Garp respect.

He had no interest in getting involved.

Sure enough, after Luffy spoke with Whitebeard and shouted that he was the one who would become the Pirate King…

The entire battlefield fell silent for a moment, then Luffy began leading the charge with the Whitebeard Pirates members quickly following behind him.

Then came the scene of Kizaru releasing his attacks into the sea.

"Dealing with Kizaru feels very troublesome."

Yami had always listed everyone in this world as possible hostile targets.

After all, with system missions, who knew which opponent he'd face next…

At this time, he leisurely dealt with ordinary pirates while collecting battle data.

He somewhat wanted to challenge Whitebeard to confirm the true strength of the Four Emperors.

Actual combat would definitely prove better than visual assessment.

But for the mission's sake, he still held back.

Luffy went on a rampage, constantly approaching the execution platform, accompanied by numerous sea-based releases.

But Moria quickly positioned himself in front of Luffy.

For this brat who had defeated him, this represented a massive shame.

The only opportunity to wash that away was now, so he naturally wouldn't miss it.

But Moria was quickly stopped by Jinbe.

Luffy instantly stole the battlefield's spotlight, attracting most people's attention.

For a moment, it seemed as if the Navy was being pushed back.

Large numbers of pirates rushed through defensive gaps, charging directly into the harbor's interior to launch attacks.

However, Luffy was immediately caught by Smoker, and then Smoker himself was kicked away by Marco.

Then Mihawk released attacks into the sea, failing to hit targets with several slashes.

Instead, he chopped the surrounding ice walls into pieces.

"Cut the video transmission."

Sengoku prepared to begin his own plan.

The Pacifista Legion soon followed.

The war's tide began reversing as Pacifistas started clearing the battlefield.

A single laser shot caused massive explosions, claiming the lives of more than a dozen pirates.

Naturally, Whitebeard couldn't tolerate his men being eliminated like this, so he deployed personnel to deal with the Pacifistas.

But Sengoku issued orders to retreat to the square at this time.

Yami, who knew the plot, naturally understood that the next phase was Sengoku's arranged battle, where the Whitebeard Pirates would be eliminated in an encirclement operation here.

‘That guy appeared. Should I take action?’

But Yami's eyes focused on Whitebeard.

At this time, a man appeared beside him, it was Squard.

The man who would stab Whitebeard in the back.

‘My current power can completely control this guy at this distance.’

‘If I help Whitebeard retain more combat strength… When Blackbeard appears, the chance of him providing assistance exceeds eighty percent…’

At this time, Yami was considering whether to help Whitebeard.

But there was no certainty that Whitebeard wouldn't turn on him and attack him for meddling with his family affairs when the time came.
