Chapter 359: Akainu Dies, the Navy is Defeated!===
The sea returned to calm.
Chen Ye stood on a massive wooden plank, panting heavily.
At this moment, his face was pale, and he was drenched in cold sweat.
He looked utterly exhausted.
Creating that super-giant tornado had consumed a vast amount of his physical and mental energy.
Anyone else, with such a massive expenditure, would have long since died.
Chen Ye was still able to endure it, purely because of his powerful mental strength and physique.
He rested for a full two hours.
After recovering some strength, Chen Ye held his trident and moved across the sea.
He was searching for Akainu and the others!
With the Sabaody Archipelago destroyed, Akainu and the others had no place to stand.
Both Akainu and Fujitora are Devil Fruit users, and thus, they are also 'hammerheads' (can't swim); falling into the sea would render them powerless.
In this vast ocean, without power, it would definitely be a dead end.
Up to this point, this war, one could say, was won by Chen Ye!
He had, by himself, annihilated the Navy's fleet.
Such a feat, once it spread, would undoubtedly make Chen Ye famous throughout the world!!
However, Chen Ye still dared not be careless.
Because.
Garp is not a Devil Fruit user!
This old man became a top-tier expert in the pirate world entirely through his own strength.
…
Suddenly.
A sound came from the distance.
"Splash!" 010.
It was Garp emerging from the sea, pulling two individuals out of the water, throwing them onto a broken piece of wood, and then collapsing onto the wood himself, panting heavily.
The two individuals rescued by Garp were, naturally, Akainu and Fujitora.
At this moment.
These two top combatants of the Navy lay on the broken wood like dead dogs, weak and motionless.
It seemed they had fallen unconscious.
All Devil Fruit users have the weakness of fearing seawater.
As soon as they come into contact with seawater, they lose all their strength, becoming even worse than invalids.
Therefore, Devil Fruit users are also jokingly called "hammerheads"!
They are a group of people abandoned by the sea.
Yet, in this world, most Devil Fruit users operate on the sea, dreaming of conquering the sea and becoming its king… This is the strangest thing about the pirate world!
If it were Chen Ye, with such a weakness, he would absolutely not approach the sea.
It would be quite good to be a king on land…
"Mondo!!"
Seeing Chen Ye approach, Garp's face turned grim, and he said with difficulty: "The Navy… lost!"
Such a quick surrender was naturally because Garp feared Chen Ye would continue to attack Akainu and Fujitora.
Chen Ye remained silent, his gaze scrutinizing Akainu and Fujitora.
Mainly Akainu!
Akainu was currently the Fleet Admiral of the Navy.
If he could take Akainu's head, it would undoubtedly shock the entire world.
Just by looking at Chen Ye's eyes, Garp felt that something bad was about to happen.
"Mondo, what are you going to do?"
Chen Ye said indifferently: "Old man, you take Fujitora and go back. I'm keeping Akainu!"
Garp's face darkened: "Mondo, boy, are you really planning to become a mortal enemy of the World Government?"
Chen Ye heard this, first smiled, then feigned surprise and asked: "Am I not already an enemy of the World Government? I personally heard this red dog say that he would kill me at all costs!"
Garp was stunned, then gritted his teeth and said: "Mondo, you know as well as I do the importance of Sakazuki; once he is killed, the balance of power between pirates and the Navy will be broken. Without the Navy's suppression, those lawless pirates in the New World will turn the entire world into a mess!"
Chen Ye nodded, then retorted: "But what does that have to do with me?"
"Old man, don't forget, I'm a pirate too!!"
Garp was speechless.
Chen Ye added, "Old Man Garp, I must keep Akainu. You can't stop me on the high seas!"
As a Reincarnator, Chen Ye naturally couldn't be persuaded by Garp's few words to let Akainu go and affect his mission!
Chen Ye was already very merciful to be willing to let Garp go!
In fact, Chen Ye had even thought about eliminating Garp just now…
However, Chen Ye considered that the "One Piece" instance still had a third phase, and killing Garp would offend many powerful people.
If he came in then, and the mission was related to those people, it would be difficult for him to handle…
Upon hearing this, Garp's old face instantly turned extremely grim.
Just as he was about to say something more, Chen Ye suddenly waved his hand.
Instantly.
A wave crashed over, sweeping away Garp, Fujitora, and even the broken log, carrying them far away.
They were swept far, far away.
Only Akainu was left, sinking into the deep sea.
"Gurgle, gurgle…"
The air in Akainu's lungs rapidly escaped.
A large amount of seawater choked him awake, but he still couldn't do anything, continuously sinking into the deep sea.
Chen Ye didn't stop it, his gaze quietly watching everything.
Actually.
Chen Ye had no particular liking or dislike for Akainu.
In the original plot, Akainu killed Ace and severely wounded Whitebeard during the Marineford War. His various actions were very off-putting.
But Chen Ye didn't feel much about it.
Putting himself in Akainu's shoes, if he were a Marine, he probably wouldn't show any mercy to pirates either.
Being merciful to your enemies is being cruel to yourself!
…
Soon.
Akainu disappeared into the deep sea, no longer visible.
For a Devil Fruit user, losing their power in the sea usually has only one consequence:
Death!
Whether it's drowning or being eaten by fish, the difference isn't significant.
"Akainu, even if I don't kill you now, your fate will probably be to die at the hands of the protagonist Luffy in the future. It's better to die in my hands earlier and fulfill my mission… May you not go to hell after death!"
Chen Ye perfunctorily offered a prayer for Akainu, then withdrew his gaze.
In the distance.
A pirate ship was sailing towards Chen Ye.
It was Empress Boa Hancock's ship.
The other Warlords had already been scared away…
"Senior Mondo!"
On the deck, Empress Boa Hancock waved at Chen Ye with a shy face, like a little wife.
Chen Ye smiled slightly, leaped up, and landed on Empress Boa Hancock's ship.
"Hancock, do you have anything to eat? I'm a bit hungry."
As soon as Empress Boa Hancock heard Chen Ye call her name, she became so infatuated and excited that she couldn't speak.
Finally, her sister replied, "Yes, Senior Mondo, please wait a moment…"
