Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Destiny Returns, Conqueror's Haki Breakthrough
Boom—
The sound of explosions and the clash of swords filled the Marine Headquarter, a symbol of justice!
With the battle between the 100,000 Navy elites and the Whitebeard Pirates, the war had begun.
The two sides engaged in an intense and highly specialized battle.
The ferocity of the fight and the number of strong combatants were unprecedented!
Every moment, Marines and pirates died fighting each other!
Alongside the world's strongest man, Edward Newgate, and the top combat powers such as the three Admirals, the war had reached a critical stage!
One side vowed to rescue the pirate who inherited the bloodline of the former Pirate King, Fire Fist Ace!
The other side, under the instigation of the World Government, swore to uphold their sense of justice!
Water and fire were incompatible, and one side was destined to fail miserably here!
And these events...
...had nothing to do with Shiro.
At this time, Shiro returned to his office.
Although it was just a Rear Admiral's office, its specifications were no less than those of an average Vice Admiral's.
After all, if not for the Celestial Dragon incident, he would undoubtedly be the next Admiral of the Navy!
"You...you, me, me, Cassie, is that...?"
At this moment, a Navy sailor who had just opened his mouth to stop Shiro a second ago looked at the tall and familiar figure in front of him, eyes full of surprise.
Although the Admiral was wearing the cloak of justice, his inner shirt was a green training uniform. His big eyes, watermelon-shaped head, and sporadic stubble made him look quite amusing!
"Eh? Kai, it's a critical period, can you calm down a little bit!"
Another young Navy Major leaning on the door, wearing a black mask, slowly opened one eye and complained to his companion.
But the next moment, his eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at the tall and straight man in front of him with disbelief!
Although wearing a mask, his breath was stronger, and his temperament had also changed, it was definitely him!
The youngest Rear Admiral Shiro!
At this moment, the two Navy sailors who had been directly subordinate to Shiro suddenly had red eyes!
"Casey, Kai, you two... hard work!"
Shiro looked at the two Navy Majors in front of him, his two brothers in arms, his most trusted subordinates. A flash of guilt and excitement crossed his heart.
Kay and Casey, his two most important companions in the Navy, had gone through countless battles together.
It is worth mentioning that Kai was very strong, mastering the Haki of Armament and all kinds of powerful techniques. Casey, on the other hand, excelled in intelligence, assassination, and large corps operations.
These two were Shiro's right-hand men before. But now it seemed, because Shiro had become a Navy traitor, Kay and Casey were also implicated.
Their strength had reached the level of a average Rear Admiral. At least that Hyena was definitely not a match for any of them.
The reason why their rank was still low was because they joined the Navy late. And not everyone could become a Rear Admiral at such a young age like Shiro.
For Kay and Casey's age, captain was already pretty good.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku and other senior Admirals knew the strength of Kay and Casey. A battle on the scale of the top war required a lot of combat power. And Casey and Kay were stationed at the door, clearly targeted.
It was also possible that the two did something rebellious after hearing about Shiro's bounty.
"Woo hoo, where have you been, Rear Admiral Shiro! We both thought... we thought, woo woo!"
After confirming Shiro's identity, Kai burst into tears, threw himself on Shiro's arm, and hugged him tightly.
Before, he and Casey had failed to catch up with Shiro's rage after killing the Celestial Dragon. Later, they wanted to leave the Marine Headquarters to search for Shiro's traces, but were discovered by Admiral Akainu and ordered to be detained.
Helpless, the two could only watch 'Destiny' for Rear Admiral Shiro here, and not be interfered by others!
"Kay, now is not the time for us to reminisce!"
Although the captain named Casey was also very excited, he was obviously more calm than Kay.
Soon, he stepped forward and said to Shiro:
"Rear Admiral, Destiny is sealed in your office. Vice Admiral Tsuru tried her best to get Destiny back from Admiral Borsalino!"
"Okay, Casey, Kai, you two wait for me outside the door, but I'm not a Rear Admiral anymore, just call me Shiro."
Shiro nodded seriously. At this time, even he couldn't hide his excitement!
Finally!
The moment had finally come!
The World Government and the Celestial Dragons who claimed to be gods. Since they offered a bounty on him, they should be ready to bear the consequences!
The greatest navy traitor, was about to return!
Crunch—
As Shiro entered the dust-covered office, the two captains, Kay and Casey, were back at their posts. Their expressions were full of seriousness and anticipation. They knew this would be their last post as Marines!
Inside the office, as soon as Shiro stepped in, he felt a strong cold air!
No wonder he didn't feel the slightest aura of 'Destiny'. It had been frozen by Admiral Aokiji!
One of the 12 Supreme Grade Blades, "Destiny," although not self-aware, was very particular about its owner. Unless it recognized the person, it generally couldn't be used normally and even produced powerful tremors.
So it wasn't surprising that Aokiji would freeze "Destiny". And there was a high probability it was requested by Vice Admiral Tsuru.
Facing the intense cold, Shiro finally found 'Destiny'. At this moment, Destiny was finally in hand!
When Shiro picked up one of the Supreme Swords, "Destiny," the frozen sword suddenly trembled violently!
Click—
The hard ice instantly shattered. 'Destiny' reappeared in the world, buzzing non-stop, as if cheering for its master's return!
"Destiny, I'm back!"
Shiro stroked the blade that glowed with cold light and smiled slightly. Immediately, the famous sword was sheathed and hung around his waist.
"It's a long-lost feeling!"
Shiro held the handle of 'Destiny' with his left hand, feeling the familiar lines and standing proudly. At this moment, the whole room trembled. The strong pressure could no longer be contained, spreading from Shiro as the center!
In just a moment, Shiro put away his momentum, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Indeed, with the 'Destiny' returned, his Conqueror's Haki had broken through!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task! ]
