"If anyone still hasn't had enough, we can be their opponents!"
Shanks glared at everyone, his face serious, and an almost tangible Conqueror's Haki suddenly erupted.
A terrifying, chilling aura swept wildly.
Boom boom boom!!!
Boom boom boom!!!
Dark red lightning, like the touch of a devil, surged in all directions.
The executives on both sides followed suit, simultaneously unleashing powerful auras that enveloped the area.
The bloodthirsty Marine Soldiers immediately felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over their heads, their eyes regaining clarity, and reason once again took over.
"Shanks, today Naval Headquarters has suffered too greatly, we must eradicate all remaining Whitebeard Pirates!!!"
A figure covered in blood walked over, full of killing intent.
His tall stature inspired awe.
Admiral Akainu's gaze was cold, large chunks of magma falling from his body onto the ground.
The Marine Generals, led by the hardliners, gripped their weapons again, their momentum fierce.
For a moment, the scene once again became tense.
"Enough!!"
Before Sengoku could speak, Kong beside him shouted sharply.
"Whitebeard and Ace are dead, the Whitebeard Pirates are no longer a threat, Akainu, this matter ends here."
"Now, Reno is the Marines' most troublesome enemy!"
Kong's words were forceful and beyond doubt!
Hearing this, Akainu clenched his fists tightly, only able to endure.
The person before him was Kong, the commander-in-chief of the three military branches, a position even higher than Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
Even if he was an Admiral, he could only obey orders.
"I understand." Akainu responded in a deep, unwilling voice.
Kong scanned the entire battlefield, his gaze growing colder.
In the images relayed by his Observation Haki, the entire Naval Headquarters was filled with wails, and dying Marine Soldiers were visible everywhere.
Of course.
Although the battle was tragic, the casualties of the Marine Soldiers were still within his tolerable range.
After all, the Whitebeard Pirates also suffered heavy losses, and two major threats, Ace and Whitebeard, were eliminated at the same time.
The only thing he couldn't accept was the deaths of Garp and Kizaru.
Losing two Admiral-level powerhouses at once was a crippling blow to the Marines.
Reno must be eliminated!!
Seeing Kong speak, Shanks immediately dispersed his Conqueror's Haki, saying calmly, "I'm taking Whitebeard's body."
The Red Hair Pirates executives nearby immediately rushed to the inner bay, heading towards the tall, unyielding figure.
"All members of the Whitebeard Pirates, evacuate Naval Headquarters immediately!"
Shanks shouted loudly, startling the still dazed Whitebeard Pirates members.
Soon, under the cold gaze of Kong, Sengoku, and the two Admirals, the remaining Whitebeard Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates successively disappeared from the plaza.
"Everyone, immediately treat the wounded and clear the battlefield!!" Sengoku issued orders to the crowd.
Marine Soldiers who still had strength or had lighter injuries began to clean up the mess.
A full 100,000 elite Marines, after one war, suffered countless dead and wounded.
Even many officer-level military officers were injured.
"Quick, there are still Marines alive there, quickly move the stones away!!"
Marine Vice Admiral Stroberry, wrapped in bandages, pointed to a ruin, directing Marine Soldiers to carry out rescue efforts.
"Stretcher, a stretcher is needed here!!"
Military medics joined the battlefield, providing emergency treatment to some severely wounded soldiers.
The dead White Group Pirates were directly thrown into the sea.
Similar scenes occurred in every corner of Oakes Bay.
After Shanks left, Kong also led his people away.
He had to immediately return to Mary Geoise to report the results to the Five Elders.
As for Saint Somaz, he didn't utter a single word from beginning to end.
If it were anyone else who dared to negotiate in front of the high and mighty Celestial Dragons, he would have directly executed them.
But this person happened to be Shanks, and there was no need to clash with him over a group of defeated and remnant forces.
To put it bluntly, the Whitebeard Pirates relied solely on Whitebeard, and Ace merely basked in Roger's glory.
With Whitebeard dead, what remained was simply not worth fearing.
In front of the Naval Headquarters building.
Sengoku, Akainu, Aokiji, and Vice Admiral Tsuru sat wearily on the ruins.
The four were silent, their spirits low.
The deaths of Garp and Kizaru diluted the joy in everyone's hearts from killing Ace and Whitebeard.
"This matter, the responsibility lies with me."
After a long silence, Sengoku was the first to break it.
As the Fleet Admiral, with such a major incident occurring, he bore an inescapable responsibility.
"Sengoku, don't blame yourself. No one wanted things to develop to this point."
Vice Admiral Tsuru shook her head, comforting him softly.
"That's right, it's all Reno and Hancock's fault!"
"I said it long ago, you can't trust any pirate!"
Akainu's face was grim as he frowned and snapped.
"I will report this matter to the Five Elders."
Sengoku nodded slightly, uncharacteristically offering no rebuttal.
Bartholomew Kuma and Teach's sudden disappearances, along with Hancock's temporary defection, had already made him waver in his previous decisions.
On the other side, at the Inner Bay Enclosure Wall.
A group of zombies, using thick chains, were dragging Little Oars's corpse step by step towards the outer sea.
"Ehh hee hee hee! When we get back, I'll have Hogback sew Little Oars's legs back on, and with a suitable shadow, he'll be an invincible zombie again!"
Gekko Moria rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes gleaming.
Having obtained Little Oars, his trip to the Marineford War was not in vain.
"Fufufu... Gekko Moria, you've had a good harvest today."
Amidst his excitement, bursts of strange laughter came from behind him.
Gekko Moria turned to see Doflamingo approaching him, hands in his pockets, walking with an arrogant swagger.
Has he finally lost his patience and is preparing to make a move against him?
Gekko Moria mused inwardly, looking at Doflamingo with a half-smile.
"Ehh hee hee hee... Doffy, Mihawk has already left, what are you still doing here?!"
Moriah asked, knowing the answer, while secretly remaining vigilant.
"Of course..." Doflamingo drew out the word, his gaze suddenly turning sharp, "To kill you!"
"Five-Colored String!!"
Doflamingo suddenly attacked, five different colored strings bursting from his fingertips, shooting towards Gekko Moria.
Though they were just five small strings, they could easily cleave mountains and shatter rocks.
"Ehh hee hee hee... I've been expecting you, Shadow Spear!"
Gekko Moria sneered, counterattacking without showing weakness.
"I clearly followed orders and came here to participate in Ace's execution."
"Even if I don't get credit, I at least deserve some recognition for my hard work, right?"
"You bastards, you still want to lay hands on me? Do you really think I'm made of mud?!"
Accompanied by angry roars, countless black bats flew in a frenzy.
Calm Belt, Amazon Lily.
Inside the luxurious airship.
"Reno, are you alright?"
"Reno, are you hurt?"
"Captain, are you okay?"
"..."
The girls, who had been waiting anxiously, immediately surrounded Reno with concern the moment they saw him return.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Reno felt touched and gave The girls a reassuring look.
"Reno, I've already healed Nami and the others' injuries."
Kaya stepped forward with small, quick steps, smiling gently.
"Well done."
Reno lovingly stroked Kaya's little head.
"Captain."
"Captain."
"Captain, hmm..."
Surrounded by The girls, Reno suddenly heard three relatively unfamiliar voices.
He looked over.
It was Iska, Hina, and Little Sadie, who had been branded with the Slave Mark.
Little Sadie's final soft hum made Reno, who had just finished a battle, want to pick up his "spear" and fight again.
Reno stepped forward, tilting up each of the three women's fair chins, examining them closely.
Due to nervousness, a faint blush appeared on the three women's delicate faces.
Reno slowly leaned closer, clearly feeling the heavy breaths of the three women.
Hina bit her lower lip gently, Iska nervously tugged at the corner of her clothes.
Little Sadie's eyes were completely unfocused, and soft moans continuously escaped her cherry lips, as if in the next second... she was about to...
"And where's the other one?!"
Reno let out a puzzled "Eh?" Where had Domino gone?!
"Reno..."
Just then, Vivi pointed awkwardly to an inconspicuous corner.
"Empress, please dote on me well!"
"Master, I will definitely be very obedient!"
"Are you annoying or not? Get away from me!!!"
Reno looked intently and saw Domino clinging to Hancock like an octopus.
After being petrified by Hancock in Impel Down, Domino had been completely captivated by Hancock's peerless beauty.
Since then, she couldn't eat or sleep, thinking about Hancock every minute of every second.
Whenever she passed by the prison and heard the crisp sound of Little Sadie's long whip striking the prisoners, her body would instinctively tremble.
Her lower lip would clamp shut even tighter.
With Hancock's image automatically appearing in her mind, Domino felt an urge to make sounds along with it.
She had thought she would never see Hancock again in this life, but who would have thought that fate was unavoidable?
Upon seeing Hancock again, Domino's 'little M' tendencies completely erupted, unreservedly displaying themselves before everyone.
She had only one thought in her mind.
She wanted Hancock to pick up the long leather whip and whip her fair back severely.
No, any part of her!
Reno stared blankly at this scene.
He had to admit, people with certain 'preferences' were truly crazy.
"Cough, cough."
Reno cleared his throat.
Hancock's face darkened, she took a deep breath, and commanded: "Domino, I order you, now, immediately, at once, to roll over to Reno's side!!!"
Hancock's slender finger pointed in Reno's direction.
As if receiving her master's instruction, to the incomprehensible and astonished gazes of the other girls, Domino really did roll over.
She literally rolled.
Hancock rubbed her forehead in exasperation. When she said 'roll,' she didn't mean it like that!
"Captain."
Coming before Reno, Domino called out timidly.
Reno didn't mind, smiling slightly and saying, "The four of you, go take a bath, and wait for me in the 'training room'."
Upon hearing those three words, Little Sadie and Domino's delicate bodies visibly trembled.
Drip.
Drip.
In the somewhat silent living room, the sound of liquid hitting the floor seemed slightly abrupt.
The girls all covered their faces with both hands, blushing with embarrassment.
"Captain, can the Empress come too?!" Domino bit her lower lip tightly, pleading pitifully.
She knew that Hancock obeyed Reno.
As long as Reno spoke, Hancock would do anything.
"Yes."
"Hancock, you come along too."
Reno nodded slightly.
Hancock gave Reno a resentful look, pouting, "I understand."
With that, Hancock walked directly to the bathroom.
"Empress, wait for me!" Domino quickly followed.
The other three girls followed close behind.
Reno shook his head helplessly, then returned to his room.
First, he swept through Impel Down, then experienced the Marineford War, and also received system rewards after subjugating Iska and Hina.
The harvest this time was extraordinarily large.
He decided to take stock while Hancock and the others were bathing.
"Open personal system panel."
Reno murmured in his heart.
As soon as his voice fell, a virtual system interface immediately appeared before him.

Other miscellaneous items.]
Gazing at the'Subjugated Beauties' column, Reno felt a little lost in thought.
Unknowingly, he had already subjugated 24 beauties, almost more than half of all the beauties in the story.
Snapping back to reality slightly, he looked at the dazzling system warehouse, which was full of treasures.
Just throwing out a few of them could stir up a bloody battle on the high seas.
His gaze finally settled on all the Devil Fruits.
Reno scanned them one by one, and an idea quickly formed in his mind.
The Paramecia: Bubble-Bubble Fruit would be given to Vivi.
What he valued was not the Bubble-Bubble Fruit's offensive power, but its characteristic of making the user's body exceptionally smooth.
As one of the few women Reno exclusively doted on, he naturally had a soft spot for Vivi.
The Zoan: Ox-Ox Fruit, Giraffe Form, would continue to gather dust in the system warehouse.
The Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan: Nika Fruit, also gathered dust at 4.8.
The only people suitable for this god-tier Devil Fruit were Luffy or those chosen by it; for anyone else, it would just be a regular Rubber-Rubber Fruit, with more drawbacks than benefits.
The remaining five Devil Fruits were Reno's haul for the day.
The Paramecia: Doku Doku no Mi and the Paramecia: Momo Fruit (Momo-Momo no Mi).
Reno already had suitable candidates in mind, but both of The girls were in the New World, so the Devil Fruits would be stored in the inventory for now.
The Logia: Pika Pika no Mi would be given to Doll.
In terms of cultivation talent, Doll was among the best of the women.
Even among the eight female combatants, her strength was ranked highly, and she was not a Devil Fruit User.
The Paramecia: Combination Fruit was temporarily put aside.
He would wait until they went to the New World and recruited more beautiful crew members to see if there were any suitable candidates.
The last one, the Paramecia: Tremor-Tremor Fruit, was also the most destructive Paramecia Devil Fruit.
Reno took out the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, his eyes burning with fervor.
The Devil Fruits re-materialized by the blank fruit had no side effects.
So, he could still eat!
Reno took a bite without hesitation. It was so sweet!
As the first bite of fruit flesh went down, a brand new power was born within him, a full and surging power sweeping through his entire body.
Reno chewed on the fruit flesh, completely devouring the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, then casually tossed the core into the trash can.
The next second, he clenched his fist and lightly punched forward.
Crack!
Accompanied by the crisp sound of shattering glass, the air in front of him slightly cracked, and the fissures gradually spread.
Reno quickly released the force, and everything returned to normal.
Looking at the scene before him, Reno nodded with satisfaction.
Now he simultaneously wielded the most destructive lightning power among Logias and the most destructive vibration power among Paramecias.
Throughout the entire sea, except for Imu, whose strength was unknown.
He feared no one!
