The Man Who Led Change

Haku frowned; he hadn't expected Akainu to have brainwashed his men to this extent!

If these people continue to act recklessly, Marineford today would definitely be a bloodbath!

"You bastard Sakazuki! You bastard! What do you take your men for?!" Sengoku's anger surged as he watched.

But he had to suppress it in his heart!

After all, the navy is currently under invasion.

But as things unfolded, things took an unexpected turn.

This New Marineford incident could very well escalate into a war that surpasses Marineford War!

Sengoku took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger and worry. He knew that the current situation allowed no room for error. He looked around and saw that although the soldiers had stopped attacking, the confusion and disorientation in their eyes had not completely disappeared, which made him even more worried.

Seeing this, Haku scoffed, "Sengoku, you'd better stay put in the rear. This era no longer belongs to you. No matter how much you question this Mad Dog, he will still give the order to kill me without hesitation!"

"Hmph! So what if you know? Now that you've stepped into New Marineford, you might as well stay here forever!" Akainu said.

Haku curled her lip in disdain and said, "You don't actually think I don't know that Fujitora and Ryokugyu are each leading a large number of marines to surround and attack me from the sea, do you? Don't forget, they're still within the range of my Observation Haki."

"And you don't really think I came alone, do you?" he said, looking at Akainu, whose expression was growing increasingly grim.

Shortly after Haku finished speaking, a meteorite fell from his left rear!

That was Fujitora using his Press-Press Fruit to pull down a meteorite.

Sakazuki looked in that direction, noticing that Fujitora and Ryokugyu hadn't followed through on their plan to surround and attack Haku.

He knew that his two top Admiral were already tied up by Haku's men.

Haku had already turned her head to look at the huge meteorite that was falling rapidly.

"Oh dear! I wonder if those three little guys can handle Fujitora?"

That's right, the three little guys fighting Fujitora are Seraphim.

Haku had barely finished speaking when he sensed a flash of sword light!

The next instant, the massive meteorite that was falling downwards was sliced in two by the sharp sword light.

That's far from enough, because the meteorite was only cut in half, not completely disappeared!

Unless, of course, the S-Hawk can slice the entire meteorite into pieces in an instant!

As the saying goes, "An army is raised for a thousand days, but used for only one."

The New Marine Base, which Haku had transformed into a steel behemoth, appeared out of thin air above them.

"Number One access is now unlocked and ready!"

"Number Two access is now unlocked and ready!"

"Charging complete, target locked! Requesting instructions!"

"Then let's shoot that meteorite down!" Zephyr, who was stationed at the New Marines Headquarters, gave the order.

At Zephyr's command, the New Marines Headquarters base operated at high speed without stopping. Dozens of high-energy laser cannons were activated instantly. They were scattered in concealed locations within the base, yet they could demonstrate astonishing destructive power at critical moments.

These laser cannons are not weapons in the traditional sense, but rather products integrating cutting-edge technology. Each laser beam contains terrifying energy capable of penetrating steel and tearing through the air. Haku couldn't help but exclaim, "Vegapunk product! Always top-notch!"

A series of complex energy Shield slowly unfolded on the surface of the base, protecting the sophisticated instruments inside from external influences. At the same time, dozens of extremely dazzling laser beams suddenly shot out from different directions of the base, like a meteor shower streaking across the sky, pointing directly at the huge meteorite that was being slowly approached by Fujitora's Press-Press Fruit.

The moment the meteorite's surface came into contact with these lasers, it seemed as if it were being licked by scorching flames, and began to burn violently. The surface Rock rapidly vaporized, emitting a deafening roar.

The precise strike of the laser beam not only reduced the size of the meteorite, but also generated enormous stress inside it, making the meteorite's structure extremely unstable.

"Boom--"

With a deafening explosion, the once unstoppable meteorite, under the continuous bombardment of lasers, finally succumbed and shattered completely, turning into countless tiny fragments that scattered and fell, eventually creating huge waves on the sea surface, but no longer posing any threat to Marineford below.

This scene shocked everyone present. Akainu's face darkened further; he hadn't expected Haku to have such powerful backing.

"It seems we all underestimated your preparations, Haku," Sengoku said in a deep voice, his eyes showing both wariness and helplessness.

Haku smiled slightly, her eyes flashing with confidence and determination. "The Sengoku period is changing, and the navy needs to keep up. And I am the one who will lead this change."

Haku's words were very sincere!

He didn't expect to move Sengoku, but he also needed to make sure that Sengoku wouldn't interfere in this matter.

Just then, Haku felt a chill from her right rear.

Feeling the chill, many people were already looking in that direction.

There, large chunks of ice were floating in the Sea!

Akainu is most aware of Aokiji's abilities.

He was now certain that he was the one who had created this chill!

As more and more ice floes floated on the sea, an undeniable chill permeated the air, and everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to the sea area to Haku's right rear.

There, the once calm sea surface now seemed to be swept away by the winter wind, and the whole world seemed to have become a symphony of ice and water.

"Ryokugyu..." A complex emotion flashed in Akainu's eyes. He was surprised by Aokiji's appearance, but he also knew that his former colleague's strength was unfathomable. After all, the two of them had once been the Navy's Top Combat Power and knew each other's abilities very well.

In the distance, a figure clad in a navy coat slowly emerged, revealing his battle-ready appearance!

He was none other than Marine Admiral Ryokugyu. Opposite him stood Aokiji atop a massive block of ice. Though separated by tens of meters, the two seemed to have formed an invisible battlefield.

"Kuzan! I never expected that one of the former Marine Admiral would become a member of the Revolutionary Army." Ryokugyu's voice was deep and powerful, carrying a hint of barely perceptible provocation.

Aokiji's face remained expressionless; he simply replied calmly, "Yeah, your name is Ryokugyu, right? Looks like you're planning to side with Sakazuki today too?"

"Different stances, different masters." Ryokugyu's answer was concise and clear. He didn't elaborate on his choice, but silently prepared for the upcoming battle.
