----------
Dian Wei died for the fourth time in 3 minutes.
"Boss, don't go invading the jungle anymore!" Jack cried, looking at the 0/4 Dian Wei. "Their Shouyue is already typing 'Thank you, Dian Wei' in the public chat!"
Kaido was so angry his dragon scales bristled: "Shut up! This time I have my ultimate!"
Then everyone saw Dian Wei charge into the crowd with his ultimate [Leap of Fury] activated... and get shot to death halfway there by Yasopp.
"Boss..." Black Maria's spider legs were shaking. "How about we just go AFK..."
Meanwhile, in the mid lane, Queen's Dr. Bian was eating a health pack under the tower when a message suddenly popped up in the public chat:
[ (All) Dian Wei: Red Hair, you're hacking! ]
[ (All) Li Bai: That's called Observation Haki. Whose fault is it that your strength isn't enough? ]
[ (All) Shouyue: Need coaching service? 20% off. ]
Soon, it was the big team fight at 8 minutes.
When Kaido's Dian Wei died for the eighth time under Li Bai's sword, the Red Hair Pirates had already pushed onto the high ground.
After coming back to life, Dian Wei frantically clicked "Request to Assemble," but all four teammates uniformly clicked "Start Retreat."
"You bunch of bastards!!!" In Kaido's roar, the crystal exploded again.
Thus,
Red Hair Pirates VS Beast Pirates, Red Hair Pirates win!
Even though Kaido wanted to lose his temper, he couldn't. Everyone in the world was watching, there was no need to lose face. He then stood aside gracefully, watching the match between the Marine side and the Whitebeard Pirates.
The comments in the live stream instantly exploded, countless viewers were shocked by this earth-shaking change and spammed the screen like crazy:
[ User "Justice Will Prevail": Holy crap! Kaido actually lost?? ]
[ User "New World Expert": The Beast Pirates are just this? Just this? Pressure is on Marine Headquarters. ]
[ User "Shell": Red Hair is the GOAT! ]
[ User "Onlooker": The Marines are under huge pressure now... ]
Morgans flapped his wings and flew to the best viewing position, his voice cracking with excitement:
"Folks! The moment to witness history has arrived! It seems the Red Hair Pirates are indeed better."
"Moreover, this move has pushed the Marines into a corner. If the Marines lose again this time, there's no need to fight. The Marines and Kaido will be completely defeated, and they will have to follow the agreement and release Ace."
The camera scanned the various groups:
The atmosphere on the Red Hair Pirates' side was relaxed, Shanks was clinking glasses with Benn Beckman to celebrate.
The Beast Pirates, however, were covered in gloom.
All of Kaido's hair stood on end, and he was frantically protesting on the deck: "I refuse to accept this!!!" King and Queen were desperately holding him back to prevent him from going wild.
Jack was already squatting in a corner drawing circles in self-pity, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
The atmosphere at Marine Headquarters was so heavy it felt like water could drip from it.
Sengoku's forehead was covered in fine sweat, and his fingers were unconsciously tapping on the tactical board.
Garp, unusually, wasn't eating senbei, his brows furrowed as he stared at the match schedule.
Akainu also gripped his phone tightly, wondering how he would play later.
"Things don't look good..." Staff Officer Tsuru pushed up her glasses. "If we lose..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood the results. The Marines would not only have to publicly release Fire Fist Ace but would also lose face under the watch of the entire world.
Even more scary, this would completely shake the Marines' power at Marine Headquarters and throughout the world!
On the Whitebeard Pirates' side, however, spirits were high.
Marco's phoenix wings were burning brightly: "Pops! Let's take them down in one go!"
Jozu also chuckled: "Let the Marines taste defeat!"
Just then,
Ron raised his hand, drawing everyone's attention back to the arena: "Whitebeard Pirates VS Marine Headquarters, Start!"
Morgans immediately got into character: "Place your bets, folks! If you think the Marines will win, type 'Justice'! If you think Whitebeard will win, type 'Villain'!"
The comments were instantly flooded with gift effects.
Whitebeard slammed Murakumogiri heavily onto the deck: "Gurarararara! Sengoku! This match, we're sending you Marines home!"
The atmosphere throughout Marine Headquarters was tense.
Everyone held their breath as the match between the Marines and the Whitebeard Pirates began.
At the Whitebeard Pirates' draft desk, Marco was scrolling through the hero list: "Pops, should we ban Sengoku's Luban? That old man has been practicing him lately."
Whitebeard's crescent mustache curled up, showing a cunning smile: "Gurarararara... No need to ban him." His thick finger rubbed his chin. "Let that old frog pick him, I'm going to chase him down and chop him personally!"
Vista elegantly wiped his twin swords: "As expected of Pops, killing the body and the heart."
Sengoku was completely unaware of the danger. His eyes lit up when he saw Luban wasn't banned: "Hahaha! Whitebeard, that old fool actually let Luban through!" He impatiently locked in his pick instantly, his ID "Buddha Sengoku" shining brightly.
Garp was next to him, munching on senbei: "Hey Sengoku, are you sure you want to play this short-legged guy? You went 0-10 in the last practice match..."
"Shut up!" Sengoku's old face turned red. "That was me deliberately going easy on the rookies!"
Akainu looked at the mage list with a dark face: "Hmph, then I'll play Angela." Lava dripped from his fingertips onto his phone, scaring the logistics soldier into taking two steps back, fearing his body would be burned through.
Aokiji yawned and picked Wang Zhaojun: "Ah... it's doesn't matter anyway..."
Sengoku: "??? Aokiji, what are you picking randomly? You're playing Wang Zhaojun in the clash lane?"
"Ara~ What's wrong, Fleet Admiral Sengoku?"
Sengoku's mouth twitched. Whatever, he thought, this match would still depend on him to carry the team.
Staff Officer Tsuru pushed up her glasses: "I'll use Cai Yan as support, remember to protect me."
Sengoku: "..."
Seeing the Marines' lineup confirmed, the Whitebeard Pirates burst into a round of wicked laughter.
"Cheng Yaojin!" Whitebeard's large hand slammed down on the selection button. "Gurarararara! Watch how I chase Luban and chop him!"
Marco instantly locked in Yun Zhongjun: "I'll cut the backline."
Jozu scratched his head in confusion: "Diamond... Zhang Fei... close enough, right?"
Vista showed Musashi: "Dual swordsmanship, perfectly recreated."
Whitey Bay giggled and picked Xiao Qiao: "I want to be a team fight killer~"
Soon the match was about to begin.
Whitebeard typed in the public chat: [ Sengoku, are you ready to be chased by my Big Yaojin? ]
Sengoku replied: [ With your ancient operation? ]
Garp suddenly jumped in: [ The two of you are over two hundred years old combined, settle down. ]
