97 Battle Against Marines Part 6

"Sanji, the Curry isn't enough. Make some more!" Usopp shouted from afar while holding a plate full of rice alone. He was surrounded by his crew and Marines.

All of them were holding plates filled with rice and curry. Everyone was enjoying it while watching the battle in front of them.

Even Liam was eating together. Only Luffy and Yamakaji were fighting far away.

"Is it alright to eat like this?" Hina who hadn't eaten a single beat looked at Smoker and asked.

"So, do you want to remain hungry until they finish the battle?" Smoker rolled his eyes and asked.

"You don't need to be worried. Although Pirates and Marines are on opposite sides, it's not like they haven't joined hands together. In fact, Shichibukai is the prime example of it."

"So, don't think too much. At least, isn't it better to talk and eat with us rather than that Doflamingo."

Hearing his words, Hina froze for a while. Smoker thought for a moment and nodded. He would rather talk and drink with Straw Hat than even face Shichibukai.

"Bastard, don't agree to pirate's words." Hina couldn't help but get frustrated and smacked his head. At this moment, only they were close to Straw Hats, others were quite far.

"You truly have a prejudice against Pirates. Well, I can't blame you. After all, pirates' primary job is to loot, burn and kill. Unfortunately, in this sick world, you can either become a pirate, revolutionary, marine, or ordinary person."

Liam sighed.

If it was possible to have another position like Adventurer then he would do anything to convince Luffy to become an Adventurer.

When Liam said that, everyone become silent. People like Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Usopp, Vivi, and Robin knew just how horrible Pirates can be.

If possible, they really didn't want to become a pirate. But, just as Liam said, there is no other profession. Now, they are following a captain who is no different than an adventurer but he is still defines as a pirate.

"Hey, do you think it is possible to cure this sick world?" Smoker opened his mouth and asked.

"Smoker!" Hina's eyes widened as she stared at him. Others also looked at him and then stared at Liam.

Liam smiled and said.

"Are you asking Pirates to eliminate pirates?"

"You know what I am asking." Smoker's eyes turned serious as he asked. Although he wanted to say it, he couldn't say it. After all, pirates must die. It was his philosophy.

"Simple! Remove the World Government, Make Marines Independent, Create a new and much more secure profession like Adventurer, and start cleaning up the entire pirate system."

When he said that, Smoker and Hina's jaws dropped to the ground. Liam spoke in a low voice so others didn't notice it but there were two people who heard his words.

Yamakaji and Luffy heard him as well.

Luffy didn't care much about it but Yamakaji was extremely shocked. He never thought a pirate would come up with such an extreme plan. But he couldn't focus more on it.

After all, he was fighting Luffy.

"Anyway, don't think too much. Unless you become Fleet Admiral, you can't do anything at all. But, don't worry, we will help you guys by eliminating three Shichibukai in the future." Liam interrupted their shocked expression and spoke.

"Hey, can you not brag so casually?" Hina couldn't help but snort at him.

Liam didn't care about her words. He looked at Smoker and said.

"Hey, you should be close with Kuzan, right? Tell him to kill Weibel as soon as possible. If not, within two years, your marines will not only lose a high-ranking marine who created the current marine powerhouses but also create a massive threat for the new world including the common people living in the new world."

Hearing his words, Hina and Smoker's eyes shrunk. They didn't need to ask him about the high-ranking marine. They knew who that was. In the history of Marines, there was only one marine who had extreme hatred against Weibel.

Even if it was extreme hatred, he shouldn't leave the marine right?

They thought for a moment and suddenly, Smoker shook his head and said.

"It's impossible. Fleet Admiral Sengoku would never accept him into Shichibukai."

"Hahahaha!"

When he said that, Liam suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter was so big that almost everyone heard him. Yamakaji and Luffy who were just about to punch each other also stopped.

"What are you laughing about?" Smoker angrily shouted at Liam.

Liam slowly controlled his laughter and continued to chuckle.

"Don't tell me you want me to remind you?"

When everyone turned silent as they stared at him, Liam continued.

"You marines might be guardians for the common people around the world but from the foundation, you or your identity is nothing more than running dog of the World Government."

When he said that, Smoker and Hina clenched their fist. They wanted to shout and attack Liam but they were too weak to do anything at all.

Even Yamakaji was standing there with his fist clenched, unable to refute Liam's words.

Because he knows that this was the truth.

"Hey uncle, let's continue fighting."

Luffy shouted and instantly rushed toward Yamakaji. Though he controlled his strength this time. Because Yamakaji was distracted, he couldn't dodge it and had to block it with all of his strength.

Bang!

'Yes, what am I thinking? I must defeat him first. But... this guy.'

When he thought that, Yamakaji realized just how much Luffy had grown in this battle. In the beginning, he was barely able to use Armament Haki. Now, he was releasing the Black Gas constantly.

If this continues, he will definitely master Hardening.

How long this battle has been going?

Barely ten hours!

Luffy managed to release Armament Haki outside in just ten hours. Not only that, but he also managed to use Observation Haki quite perfectly.

When the battle continued, Yamakaji used all of his strength to take down Luffy but no matter how much he tried, he couldn't make Luffy fall down.

Every time he succeeded in landing a powerful strike and makes him fall down, Luffy instantly stands up and continues fighting.

If he didn't know Luffy's identity, he would've really thought that it was Kaido impersonating Luffy. This kind of behavior was exactly similar to Kaido who often gets defeated by them and returns stronger.

That's how he reached the peak of this world.

While they continued their battle, the environment around others got serious. After all, Liam literally insulted the entire marine just now. They wanted to refute him.

But, those words couldn't come out of their mouth.

"Well, let's not talk about that. Just tell Kuzan or Sengoku about Weibel. After all, not only the current three admirals but also you guys were trained by him alone."

Hearing his words, Smoker seriously nodded his head. Suddenly, Hina questioned them.

"By the way, I saw you guys using Marine Six Styles. How did you learn those moves?"

She thought it was Garp who taught Luffy Marine Six Styles but Luffy didn't seem to be using those Marine Six Styles.

"Well, you should've learned about that Mouse?"

Hina shook her head while Smoker thought for a moment and asked.

"Are you talking about that guy?"

"Yeah! Well, he is one of the three marines who I wanted to kill. When I went there, I found another marine who seemed to have escaped from Grandline after being charged for swallowing the wealth obtained from pirates."

"He was being taken care of by that Mouse since he needed an identity to stay away from the chase of marines. As a greedy mouse who loves money more than anything else, he was accepted easily."

"When I went there, I tortured that guy to learn the complete Six Styles."

When he said that, Hina instantly stood up, trying to take an action against Liam but Smoker stopped her and said.

"Scums that should die do not require revenge. That being said, you could've simply sent him to the marines." Smoker narrowed his eyes and looked at him in displeasure.

"Then what? He will be sent to Enies Lobby for trial and use the money to bail himself out from the trial and once again starts doing whatever he was doing before."

"I would rather kill such a person before he could let another tragedy happen." Liam spoke.

"Don't think Marine is that cheap!" Hina finally couldn't contain it and shouted at him.

Liam rolled his eyes and said.

"I never said marine is cheap. A person like that can not represent a marine in my eyes. It's just that what you think and what I think can't prevent tragedy from happening."

"We are not gods. Let me ask you a question. If a person implementing justice is corrupted, who can truly represent Justice? You, I, or a common person. None of us can do that."

"That's why Justice shouldn't be corrupted. Unfortunately, your justice has been so corrupted that if I write a list, it will at least fill an entire page or even more."
