Chapter 38 - Chapter 38: The Marines' Scheme

Revolutionary Army Base

Seeing Kuma appear, Koala was excited.

"Mr. Dragon, look! It's Mr. Kuma!"

"Hmm," Dragon nodded.

"I never expected to see Mr. Kuma in the video! But it's so strange... Why would Mr. Kuma use such a powerful attack against Mr. Ivan? Isn't he afraid of hurting Mr. Ivan?" Koala was puzzled.

Dragon was silent for a moment. He looked carefully at Kuma in the video and said with difficulty, "I'm afraid... that is no longer Kuma."

"Eh?!" Koala looked back at the video in disbelief.

〖While being continuously attacked by laser beams, even though Ivankov could dodge them, he was still frustrated.

He suddenly rushed up to Kuma.

"Wait a minute, Bartholomew Kuma! Aren't you going a bit too far? I know as a Warlord, you have your own position. But you don't need to launch such merciless attacks against me, do you?"

After Ivankov finished speaking, he didn't receive any response from Kuma. Instead, he was met with even fiercer attacks.

Luffy was worried about his situation, but Ivankov stated that he would handle Kuma and told Luffy to focus on saving Ace.

So Luffy continued forward. This time, he faced his former opponent, Gecko Moria.

Because Moria had suffered a major loss to Luffy before, upon seeing him, he directly summoned his zombie army, using human wave tactics to add many injuries to Luffy.

Seeing Luffy's miserable state, Ace on the execution platform finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Enough, Luffy! You should understand! Everyone has their own adventure! You don't need to do this for me! You coming to save me only makes me feel humiliated! Why are you doing this? Go back! Don't stay here any longer!"

Ace deliberately said these words to try to drive Luffy away. However, Luffy didn't care and continued fighting the Marines his own way.

"Because... I'm your brother! How could I possibly abandon you?"

After Luffy sincerely said these words, he didn't leave the Summit War battlefield as Ace had hoped.

Then, Sengoku announced to everyone present that Luffy was actually the son of Revolutionary Dragon, ordering the Marines not to hold back.

With Luffy's identity exposed, the Marines paid even more attention to him. More people charged at him, forcing Luffy to enter Gear Third to fight.

"Gomu Gomu no Gigant... Spinning Shell!"

Luffy fiercely repelled a Giant Vice Admiral. His actions also boosted the morale of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The situation on the battlefield grew increasingly intense.〗

[Golden Lion Shiki: Zehahahaha! So this so-called Summit War didn't just reveal Fire Fist Ace's background, but also that Straw Hat kid's background!]

[X Drake: But we already know this information, so we won't be as shocked as the people in the video.]

[King the Conflagration: Facing so many Marines, Straw Hat kid's prospects look grim. He won't just die on the Summit War battlefield, will he? What a pity.]

[Revolutionary Dragon: Then you greatly underestimate my son.]

[Jack the Drought: Oh? The man himself appears!]

[Big Mom Charlotte Linlin: Mamamama! I'm getting more and more curious about the outcome of this war! What a pity! According to the video, I didn't participate in this war. If I had the chance, I'd like to give it a try.]

[Kaido of the Beasts: Isn't there a good opportunity right now, Linlin? If I'm not mistaken, your children have already set out, right? Urororororo!]

[Big Mom Charlotte Linlin: Mamamama! I can't hide anything from you! But haven't your subordinates also set out?]

[Kaido of the Beasts: Indeed! Urororororo!]

[Rocks D. Xebec: So, are you three meeting again? Should you have a good catch-up? Hahahaha!]

[Whitebeard Edward Newgate: Gurararara! I don't mind, but those two probably wouldn't be willing.]

[Big Mom Charlotte Linlin: Mamamama! You'll be disappointed, Captain Rocks! This time, it's just my excellent children going. I still have to handle matters in Totto Land.]

[Rocks D. Xebec: Oh? What about you, Kaido? Aren't you going either?]

[Kaido of the Beasts: I've also entrusted it to my loyal subordinates! Urororororo!]

[Rocks D. Xebec: That's truly a shame.]

After saying this, Rocks disappeared. Big Mom and Kaido did too, but the upheaval caused by these few wasn't so easily quelled.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford

Sengoku carefully read the dialogue between these individuals.

Seeing that both Big Mom and Kaido would send people, he undeniably felt a weight in his heart.

Although he had vaguely guessed these two would also participate in the Summit War, because there was no concrete news, he held onto a sliver of hope.

Now, it was officially confirmed, making him even more worried.

"If they aren't lying, then this time, besides dealing with the Whitebeard Pirates, the Red Hair Pirates, and the remnants of the Roger Pirates, we also need to fight the subordinates of Big Mom and Kaido."

"Although these two won't come personally, which is good for the Marines, their subordinates' strength cannot be underestimated. For the Marines to fight so many pirates at once is indeed quite difficult. We have a tough battle ahead."

Sengoku looked quite troubled as he said this.

Even Sakazuki couldn't say things like "let the pirates come" anymore. After all, he had a brain and knew the Marines' strength no longer matched the pirates'.

Based on the current strength division, it was basically impossible for the Marines to achieve victory in this war.

Everyone present already understood this outcome, so the atmosphere became gloomy.

"Guru guru."

Suddenly, the office Den Den Mushi rang. Sengoku picked it up.

"This is Sengoku. May I ask what's the matter? Yes. Good. I understand. Understood."

Whoever was on the other end said something that made Sengoku's expression improve, as if he had found a way to deal with the current predicament.

"Fleet Admiral, who was that just now?"

Momousagi asked curiously.

Sengoku smiled mysteriously.

"They are people coming to help us. Don't worry. I believe with their help, the Marines won't be defeated so easily in this Summit War."

Then, as if remembering something, he added,

"And the alliance between pirates isn't necessarily that solid. Leaving aside Whitebeard and Red-Hair for now, just take Big Mom and Kaido. They couldn't possibly be coming just to save the Pirate King's son, right? I think they just want to get involved and take a share of the spoils. If that's the case, then there's still plenty of room for us to maneuver."
