I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

In Marinford, on the devastated battlefield, the Whitebeard Pirates successfully rescued Ace.

Under Whitebeard's command, the pirates began to retreat in an orderly manner. However, the navy was not about to let them off easily. Akainu stood behind, a ferocious grin on his face. He waved his hands, and magma gushed out of them, forming giant magma fists that smashed towards the pirates.

At this time, Whitebeard was besieged by a group of naval elites and could not be rescued in time.

The giant magma fist, with its scorching temperature and powerful impact, distorted the surrounding air and put enormous pressure on the pirate group.

"Danger! It's Akainu!" someone shouted.

The pirates desperately speed up, hoping to escape from this dangerous sea as soon as possible. But Akainu is chasing them relentlessly, not giving them a chance to breathe.

"They ran away with their tails between their legs as soon as they rescued Ace. What a bunch of cowards, the Whitebeard Pirates!" Akainu made a look of disdain and used a cheap method of provoking the enemy.

"The captain is incompetent too... There's nothing we can do about it, Whitebeard! You're just a loser from the last era after all..."

However, although this plan was crude, it was surprisingly effective. After hearing this, Ace stopped immediately and frowned.

"Ace!!" Luffy understood Ace's thoughts and became very anxious.

"Ace, don't fall into his trap! You are no match for him!" Zoro also frowned. He knew what would happen next. If possible, he even wanted to knock Ace unconscious and carry him away.

"Loser..." Ace completely ignored the two people's dissuasion, his anger still skyrocketing: "Take back... what you just said!"

"Hey! Ignore him! Ace, don't stop!" Someone from the Whitebeard Pirates wanted to hold Ace back, but couldn't.

"How dare he insult his father..." Ace turned around and glared at Akainu.

"The eternal loser who was defeated by your biological father Roger and ultimately had no chance of becoming king is Whitebeard. Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"It wasn't until Roger's death that he was adored by a bunch of minions, calling him 'Daddy'... He acted out a family farce, showing off his power on the sea."

"Shut up!" Ace was gradually burning with anger.

"...But even after Roger's death, we have been dominating the sea for decades, but we have never been able to become king, and have gained nothing. Isn't this just a waste of life?" Akainu tilted his head, his expression gradually becoming contemptuous.

"Shut up..." Ace's face darkened and his trembling body gradually walked towards Akainu.

"Don't be fooled! Ace, come back quickly!" Seeing this, Captain Izo of the 16th Division anxiously stopped Ace.

However, he turned a deaf ear to it: "Dad created a habitat for us! How can you understand Dad's greatness!?"

"If you don't live the right way, you have no value in life. You pirates have no need for shelter!" Akainu shouted angrily as he transformed his arm into an element. Smelling sulphurous lava flowed from his arm onto the ground. "Whitebeard will die as a loser! As the leader of a mob, this is perfectly fitting!"

"Whitebeard is the great pirate who pioneered this era! You are not allowed to insult my savior!" Ace roared at the top of his lungs, raising his flaming fist and smashing it hard at Akainu: "The name of this era!! It's Whitebeard!"

Akainu also raised his giant lava fist and smashed it towards Ace. With a loud bang, the flames and lava collided with each other, and then Ace flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground, letting out a heart-wrenching scream.

His entire arm was burned.

Obviously, his armament color is not as good as Akainu's, and the ability of the Magma Fruit is far superior to the ability of the Flame-Flame Fruit.

"Do you think you are too proud of yourself just because you are a nature-type person? You are just fire, but I am magma that can burn fire to ashes! You and I are completely the same in terms of the ability to conquer the weak!" Looking at the wailing Ace, Akainu walked slowly towards him with an expressionless face.

At this time, Zoro was already prepared and mobilized the evil spirit in his body, because he knew that this guy was going to perform a feint to the east and attack in the west.

"Ace..." Luffy was about to help, but a feeling of weakness came over him, his legs went limp and he fell to the ground. The effect of the second injection of stimulant had expired.

"Brother Luffy, you have reached your limit!!" At this moment, Jinbei, who was blocking Kuma, heard the noise and left Kuma behind to rush over. He could see Luffy's condition from a distance.

"Boss Jinbe, I have a favor to ask of you. No matter what happens later, please take those two brothers away!" Zoro's face was solemn.

"Hey...Zoro, what are you doing..." A trace of panic flashed across Luffy's face.

Akainu stopped in his tracks when he reached Ace. "The sons of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, and the revolutionary, Dragon, are sworn brothers. How astonishing... Your bloodlines alone constitute a grave sin! No matter who we let go, we must not let you two go! Watch carefully..."

"Hey! Stop it!" Ace realized something.

But as soon as Akainu turned around, he was slightly stunned.

Because at this time, Zoro behind Luffy turned into a monster with three heads and six arms. His pupils turned red and silver, and the hot and cold air like hell spread out from his body. Countless dark red lightnings continued to shatter the ice under his feet.

"Hey! Akainu! This guy is my captain! If you want to kill him, you have to take off my head first." Zoro sensed that Whitebeard was coming soon. As long as he blocked this guy's fatal blow, he could rescue Ace and Luffy.

"Huh? You're also a Devil Fruit user? And you're already proficient in Haki at such a young age. You're the same. I'll make sure you die here!"

"It's an honor to be remembered by the admiral!" Zoro grinned.

The Seven Warlords in the distance also cast their gazes over. The unconscious Kuma, upon seeing Zoro's figure, rushed towards him.

Hawkeye frowned;

Doflamingo smiled evilly and stopped Lao Sha who wanted to rescue him.

Hancock, with a worried look on her face, also rushed over here, but it was obvious that she could not catch up.

Akainu leaped up and slammed his giant lava fist at Zoro: "Then you will die with honor!"

Zoro's six arm muscles bulged rapidly, and he entered the second Ganglira form: "Ghost Qi·Nine Swords Style·Ashura·Blood Pond Hell!!"

The collision between the two men caused a huge vibration, and the sky and the earth dimmed for a moment. The two figures paused in the air, and Zoro's nine black swords slashed at Akainu's giant lava fist at the same time.

But none of the nine swords touched Akainu's fist. They only felt an invisible force blocking the blades.

Zoro’s eyes widened: This is... Ryuo!

At the same time, red lightning suddenly burst out from Akainu's fist, and an infinite force came from the blade and invaded Zoro's internal organs.

Zoro suddenly vomited blood and flew out like a cannonball, smashing a big hole in the ice in the distance, and his three-headed and six-armed form was broken up.

The violent impact made him a little fuzzy, but he still tried to stand up.

"Zoro...Zoro..." Luffy panicked, but was unable to get up.

Just as Akainu was about to give chase, Kizaru suddenly appeared in front of Zoro: "You can actually stand up. If you escape, it will be very bad."

Uncle, did I offend you?

Then he kicked Zoro hard, and Zoro flew straight towards the rushing big bear.

???

Big Bear showed his chubby bear paw with an expressionless face, raised his hand and slapped it down, and with a "bo" sound, Zoro disappeared without a trace!

"Zoron!!"

On that day, the scene of his companions in the Sabaody Archipelago being beaten one by one was replayed in front of Luffy, and he was also powerless. Exhausted, he shouted and lost consciousness.

Seeing Akainu attacking the younger generation without any moral integrity, the furious Whitebeard appeared behind him...
