One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 352: Special Navigation Marker!

On the Moby Dick.

It was quickly drowned out by the orderly sounds of preparations for battle.

"Quick! Move all the barrels to the hold! Make room for the shells!"

"Check the mainsail! If the towlines are loose, I'll hang you up there to dry!"

"Where are the coating technicians? Where the hell are they! Check the airbags and resin coating! This time, we're going full speed ahead; if we don't want to sink halfway, we'd better be on our toes!"

Joz's diamond-like roar echoed across the deck.

He commanded a group of pirates to pile heavy ammunition boxes around the gun emplacement like building blocks.

The entire ship is a sophisticated war machine.

It has started operating at full power.

Chen Ye stood at a higher vantage point, his black trench coat fluttering in the wind.

He looked down at the crew members below who had faced death without flinching in the Marineford War.

This is the Whitebeard Pirates.

Leisurely in peacetime, but the sharpest blade on the high seas in wartime.

He turned around.

He looked at the white beard behind him.

"Dad."

"Once you've assembled, you can set off immediately. I still need to recruit another ally. This battle must be won without fail."

The white-bearded man lowered his head slightly.

He didn't ask who the ally was, nor did he ask where Chen Ye was going.

This is unreserved trust.

"Gurala la la..."

The white-bearded man let out his signature laugh.

"Go ahead, kid. Leave this to us. Whether it's Marine Headquarters or the Five Elders, as long as I still have this sword, the Moby Dick will never be late!"

"We'll be ready to go soon! You won't be disappointed!"

"That's great."

Chen Ye's lips curled up into a bright smile.

He glanced at the white beard one last time, then turned and strode toward the other side of the deck.

There, a man with a pineapple-shaped hairstyle and glasses is directing the entire operation.

"Brother Marco!"

Marco turned around at the sound and adjusted his glasses.

"Oh? Chen Ye. Judging from your posture, you're going to act alone?"

The crew members around him were busy at work, and Marco, with a notebook in hand, jotted down notes as he went, handling everything with ease.

Chen Ye walked up to him, and without saying a word, reached into his robes.

A flash of golden light.

A strangely shaped permanent pointer and a trembling life card appeared.

Inside the glass sphere of the permanent pointer, three tiny gold needles float, rotating with a strange rhythm and pointing in one direction.

"This is……"

Marco stopped what he was doing and looked at the nautical instrument he had never seen before.

"It was specially made for me."

With a solemn expression, Chen Ye forcefully shoved the two items into Marco's hands.

"Brother Marco, the current currents and wind direction in the waters around Future Island are very strange. The usual routes are too slow."

Follow this compass; it will avoid all undercurrents and eddies, guiding you to a special 'special route.'

Then Chen Ye pointed to the Life Card.

"With the guidance of this Life Card, I definitely won't go the wrong way. This is the fastest shortcut to enter the Future Island battlefield."

Marco paused for a moment, then tossed the pointer in his hand.

"A special shipping route? That sounds interesting."

"Don't worry, Chenye. Leave the sailing to me. I won't let you down."

He carefully put the pointer and life card into his pocket, then looked up at Chen Ye.

"But you, don't push yourself too hard. Even though you're incredibly strong right now, don't try to shoulder everything alone."

Chen Ye felt a warmth in his heart and nodded.

"Then I'm relieved."

Before he finished speaking, a dazzling golden light emanated from his body.

"Let's go!"

Chen Ye let out a low shout and slammed his right foot onto the deck.

boom!

A shockwave exploded outwards from him, but the ship remained completely undamaged.

The next second, he vanished from the spot.

All that remained on everyone's retinas was a blurry image.

A golden streak shot into the sky, so fast that even sound couldn't keep up.

Only after the golden light pierced the sky, leaving a long trail across the heavens, did the ear-piercing sonic boom finally arrive.

"Is this... the power of the Chenye brothers now?"

"So fast...faster than Kizaru!"

Another pirate exclaimed in surprise.

Whitebeard remained standing at the bow, head held high, his gaze following the vanishing golden light.

His smile deepened, finally turning into a proud growl.

"This kid's speed has gotten even faster... He's a terrifying son."

He abruptly withdrew his gaze, and Cong Yunqie paused heavily, jolting all the stunned crew members awake.

"My men! Are you all stunned?!"

"Stop dawdling! Don't keep that kid waiting too long!"

"If I get late, I won't even get a kick to the navy's ass. I can't afford to lose face like that!"

"Raise the sails! Set sail!"

"Ohhhhhhh!!!"

The Moby Dick roared deafeningly.

This legendary warship has once again bared its fangs.

Heading at full speed towards the Future Island battlefield!

……

Chen Ye sped through the sky at high speed.

His speed was so fast that it exceeded the speed of light.

As he flew, he reviewed the plan in his mind.

The Whitebeard Pirates have it all figured out.

The revolutionary army operates in the shadows, serving as both a surprise force and a trump card.

Now, the puzzle is missing its last piece.

The sharpest piece of the puzzle—the Red-Haired Pirates.

"Shanks..."

Chen Ye silently recited the name in his heart.

It wouldn't be difficult to persuade him to reunite with his mother.

As time went by.

The scenery below began to change drastically.

A sea area ruled by frigid temperatures and storms.

The core base of the Red-Haired Pirates.

Ahead, a huge island shrouded in wind and snow appeared on the horizon.

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his golden pupils.

hum!

Just as he approached the island's airspace, an invisible yet keen wave swept across his body.

Observation Haki.

Not just one stock.

It was a dense network of Observation Haki, interwoven with more than a dozen strands, like a radar network.

"As expected, they've increased their security measures," Chen Ye thought to himself.

Since the last attack on CP0, the Red-Haired Pirates have clearly raised their alert level to the highest level.

This group of seemingly alcoholics who spend all their time partying actually possess the most elite and domineering skills on the entire sea.

Chen Ye neither slowed down nor concealed his aura.

Since we're here, we should act with dignity.

"I am coming!"

He transformed into a golden meteor, plummeting straight towards the camp in the heart of the island.

……

The Red-Haired Pirates' base is under security.

Several elite members of the Red-Haired Gang are on patrol.

Their eyes were always alert, and their fingers never left the hilt of the knife.

Sudden.

The lead guard suddenly stopped and stared intently at the sky.

"There's something up there!"

The guard shouted loudly, his voice carrying far through the wind and snow.

Almost simultaneously, all the guards around felt the terrifying pressure that descended from the sky.

"Enemy attack?!"

"Alert! Alert immediately!"

"Who are you?! How dare you trespass on the Red-Haired Pirates' territory!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of swords being drawn filled the air.

The dozen or so guards instantly assumed combat stances, their blades wreathed in Armament Haki.

They stood back to back in formation, their eyes fixed on the approaching golden light.

The light was too fast.

boom!!!

The golden light crashed heavily onto the open space in front of the camp.

The earth trembled violently.

It created a huge impact, forming a white snow curtain tens of meters high, obscuring all vision.

The guards were forced to raise their arms to shield themselves and retreat repeatedly.

"Damn! That was a powerful impact!"

"Is it a Marine Admiral? Or the World Government?"

The captain of the guard gritted his teeth, enduring the impact, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the long sword in his hand.

He stared intently at the billowing snow dust, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

The aftershocks from the landing alone were so terrifying; the one who came must be a monster.

"Prepare for battle! Notify the officers!"

The captain roared, though terrified, he didn't take a single step back.

Just then, the snow dust began to dissipate.

A tall, slender figure was faintly visible in the snowflakes.

The captain of the guard stared wide-eyed, his eyeballs almost popping out.

He remained frozen in the knife-holding posture for a few seconds.

Then--

Clang.

The long sword slipped from his hand and fell onto the snow.

Immediately afterwards, the fear on his face, which looked like he was facing certain death, turned into extreme ecstasy.

"It's...it's Mr. Chenye?!"

The guards, who had been taut with murderous intent, suddenly broke out in a state of barely suppressed excitement.

"It really is Mr. Chenye!"

"My God! I knew that domineering aura was so unique!!"

"Quick! Put the knife away! Don't be rude to Mr. Chenye!"

The guard captain hurriedly picked up his knife and sheathed it. Without even brushing the snow off his clothes, he excitedly turned around and shouted at the top of his lungs into the depths of the camp.

His voice was filled with joy, even when it cracked.

"Quickly! Go and inform the captain and officers!"

"Mr. Chenye has arrived!"

"We're going to have a banquet!!!"
