Retreat

The two fought fiercely, exchanging blows back and forth.

The people around them forgot about the fight.

People all over the world were thrilled and excited, cheering for Ye Liangnai and hoping he could defeat the evil Whitebeard Pirates!

In the blink of an eye, three hundred moves had passed!

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a blue phantom streaked backward at high speed, crashing heavily against the bay wall with a tremendous sound.

But everyone stared wide-eyed in disbelief!

Because...

"No way, Captain Marco... lost?"

Looking at Ye Liangnai, who was standing there with only slightly disheveled clothes and panting slightly, the Whitebeard Pirates stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

The person who was blasted away was none other than Marco!

And!

"Captain Marco has actually been injured!"

"Is what I'm seeing really true? It's unbelievable!"

"Is Mythical Bird: Phoenix Form supposed to be immune to damage? How could he be so badly injured!"

Seeing Marco's burns and lacerations all over his body, even the squad captains couldn't believe it was real.

"Cough cough, that guy's attack temperature is too high, my fruit immunity is ineffective, be careful of that guy, he's stronger than before!"

Marco stood up, activated his ability, and his injuries healed instantly, but he had exhausted a lot of his strength.

"Also, that guy, like me, has the ability to quickly recover from all damage!"

Upon hearing Marco's words, the Whitebeard Pirates were once again taken aback.

"Chase after Fire Fist Ace!!!"

"We can't let them get away!!"

But seeing how capable Ye Liangnai was, the Navy quickly gave chase to the fleeing Fire Fist Ace, Straw Hat Luffy off.

"Fire Fist Ace, I will never let you succeed!!"

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Sakazuki appeared once more, shouting, "Hound Devouring Guren!"

A giant, dark red lava dog pursued him at incredible speed, making Fire Fist Ace tense up.

"Kurara, you lava brat, do you think I'll let you get away with this?!"

Whitebeard charged forward, unleashing a punch that ripped through the air, unleashing terrifying shattering power that collided violently with the magma hound, blocking the attack.

"Whitebeard, watch out behind you!"

Kizaru reappeared behind Whitebeard like a ghost, shooting lasers from his hands.

"Who are you underestimating, Borsalino..."

Whitebeard grinned and swung his sword with his right hand, unleashing a devastating force that forced Kizaru to retreat.

"If you get away, that would be a real problem!"

But Admiral Aokiji also chased after Fire Fist Ace.

"Ice Cube - Exploding Pheasant Beak!"

He unleashed an ice bird with the ability to freeze everything, which trembled as it hurtled towards him.

"Flame Ring - Mirror Flame!"

Fire Fist Ace was no pushover either, unleashing a powerful wall of fire that collided with Ice Bird.

"Boom!"

Marineford trembled once more. Aokiji's Ice Bird was unable to break through Fire Fist Ace's defense, and the two clashed to a draw!

"He actually drew with Admiral Kuzan? That can't be real!"

Many marines were surprised to see this.

"Dad!!!"

Upon seeing this, Fire Fist Ace couldn't help but shout in concern.

"Let's go, Ace, don't let..." Marco fought back tears, "Dad's efforts were in vain!"

"Hateful!!!"

Fire Fist Ace slammed his fist into the ground, hating his own weakness.

If he were a little stronger, he could have helped Whitebeard!
