Powerhouses Gathered, Charging into Battle as One

Bystanders are detached, but those involved are confused!

"So strong,"

As Roman charged into the Marine camp with Luffy, the overwhelming killing intent from all directions made White Knight feel as if he were in a hellish abyss.

The air was thick with a murderous intent so intense it was almost suffocating. The frenzied shouts, shrill cries, and agonizing screams of the fighting filled the air. Everywhere you looked was red: tattooed sailor uniforms splattered with blood, navy coats seeping blood; weapons everywhere, completely soaked in blood, yet still gleaming coldly...

Unlike watching a play from a high Execution Platform, experiencing it firsthand revealed that real elite warfare was completely different from the battles the Straw Hat crew had encountered before.

As the White Knight charged forward with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, a barrage of attacks immediately rained down on him!

Swords are sharp, bullets whistle!

Although the White Knight's strength far exceeded that of steel, he couldn't withstand the relentless onslaught. Even though a few ordinary sabers could only leave a few white marks on his shield, and a few ordinary bullets could only leave a few white dots on his armor, what about dozens of sabers? What about hundreds of bullets?

Moreover:

"In the name of justice!"

A naval captain, wielding two swords, charged at the White Knight. The gleaming blades tilted at a clever angle, reflecting the sunlight into the White Knight's helmet. At the same time, his eyes sharpened like blades, capable of tearing apart an opponent's pupils out of thin air!

Taking advantage of the environment and the murderous aura in his eyes, the officer roared, his body moving forward with his sword. He raised the sword above his head with both hands, leaping into the air. The long sword in his hand transformed into a sharp light, slashing straight at the White Knight's forehead.

"Breaking the waves!"

This naval officer spends his years practicing swordsmanship at sea, cleaving waves with his sword and cutting through water with his blade. His power is so fierce that he can cut through Iron Cutting and shatter rocks! However, when a person leaps into the air, there are many openings, so he cannot use this technique easily under normal circumstances. He only unleashes this thunderous strike in the most critical and advantageous situations.

Seeing that the armored pirate was indestructible, he had no choice but to gather his strength and unleash this move! With this sword strike, not only armor, but even a solid steel statue would be cut in two!

Faced with this fierce strike, the pure white-armored knight abandoned his previous style of parrying and counterattacking, instead swinging his sword to meet it head-on. The sword moved like a bolt of lightning, its power and force overwhelming! The next moment, with a loud bang, a military knife was broken in two and flew straight into the sky.

"How could this be...?"

The naval captain's arms went numb from the recoil, and he was thrown backward, his chest and abdomen churning with blood, barely able to stand. Dizzy and spitting blood, as he watched the White Knight charging towards him with his sword, only one thought occupied his mind:

It's over!

Brush--

However, the pure white-armored knight merely brushed past him, leaving the naval captain's mind completely blank...

They were let go?

"Snort,"

Sengoku on the high platform snorted coldly and turned his gaze to Luffy next to the White Knight. This made Roman was still feeling immense pressure even through Garp, feel much more at ease.

Well, as Roman said, the White Knight he controlled was really just a background character.

"Gomu Gomu no Jet Bullet!"

With a single punch, Luffy sent a massive, several-thousand-kilogram admiral, a man as Rear Admiral as Meat Mountain, flying. Luffy then slapped his face, which had been bruised and bleeding from the opponent's Haki.

"Everyone's so strong!! Whew... Whew..."

Splash~~

A bright green piece of paper flew over and stuck to Luffy, instantly energizing him! At the same time, Roman's voice could be heard:

"Luffy, replenishing your life force too quickly will overwhelm your body's cells—"

"It's okay, I must rescue Ace."

"Don't even think about it!"

A Rear Admiral, wielding a blade with a long, misty blue aura extending from its blade, rushed forward and slashed Luffy, leaving a long wound.

Clang!

Just as his opponent was about to press his advantage, a white tower shield blocked his blade. To deal with swordsmen, you need a high-defense character like the White Knight! — provided you can withstand the attack.

"Luffy!!"

On the Execution Platform, Ace looked at Luffy, who had fought his way through countless obstacles, and was still covered Luffy wounds even with Roman's White Knight sharing the burden. Finally, he couldn't help but shout down:

"Don't come any closer, Luffy— "

"You should know very well that you and I are both pirates, each heading towards the sea in our hearts."

"I have my own adventures, I have my own companions! I haven't fallen so low as to need a brat like you to save me!"

This is the 'rule of pirates' in this world, and it's why Roger's former crew didn't come. —We were friends with Roger, comrades who would risk their lives for him, but:

Ace?

Sorry, we don't know you and have no connection with you.

Otherwise: the previous broadcasts would have already revealed Ace's identity; Rayleigh was in Sabaody, and could swim all the way to Marine Headquarters; Buggy was on the battlefield, and he had also cried for Roger's death.

But none of them intended to save Ace, because the person they respected and trusted was Roger, and only Roger!

Without so many years of nurturing, I believe Garp standing next to him would have...

Roman looked at the Vice Admiral naval admiral, who was bowing his head and remaining silent. It was because of the intersection between people that they formed bonds and were reluctant to part.

So, Luffy is the same:

"You are... my brother!"

"How can a younger brother just stand by and watch his older brother die?!"

Similarly, Roman couldn't just watch Luffy die.

"Straw Hat Kid! And the guy playing with paper—"

As they broke through the naval positions ahead, the 'experts' began to appear: Moria was the first to bear the brunt—

Zombies.

"Charge, zombies!"

Faced with the surging Zombie Army, the White Knight didn't even bother to glance at them. Leaving aside the fact that Moria was merely the weakest of the Shichibukai, easily defeated by the Straw Hat crew, let's just say:

"Water Heart - Ocean Current Shoulder Throw!"

A surge of seawater, like a dragon emerging from the sea, rushed towards Moria's zombie army, swirling and submerging the corpses in the salty water, causing their shadows to emerge from their mouths.

"Jinbe!?"

"Your opponent is this old man..."

Call out--

A flash of light, and a golden beam of light flew over, causing Ivankov, the Okama King, to instinctively Luffy aside.

"Kizaru? No, it's Kuma?!"

What's going on? Even if you're on the side of the Shichibukai, you shouldn't be attacking my old friend...

As the masters began to engage in close combat, a majestic voice rang out from the loudspeaker.

"Hoo~~~ Everyone, listen up!"

Sengoku, standing on the Execution Platform, picked up Den Den Mushi), and his voice echoed throughout the battlefield.

"Straw Hat Luffy is Ace's sworn brother! Also—"

"He is also the son of the 'revolutionary' Long!"

"Take him down!!"

——!

"I see," Doflamingo, wearing a pink coat, Satori. "No wonder Ivankov from the Revolutionary Army camp helped him. Now I understand."

"Nothing is surprising anymore."

Hawk Eyes's face was indifferent. Regardless of their identity or status, they should take his sword first!

Luffy, even if you're the son of a devil, I still...

The Empress, a peerless beauty, had a face as beautiful as a peach blossom.

"Luffy, leave the defense to me."

Splash splash~~~

The blood-soaked White Knight lunged to the side, and the scattered pieces of clothing wrapped around Luffy, turning him into an armored Luffy.

"I'll keep replenishing your energy, so go for it!"

"Oh! It's up to you, Roman!!"

"Straw Hat Kid,"

A thick plume of white smoke billowed in, and the Jitte, armed with Seastone, thrust forward! Although it was only a blunt weapon, with Smoker's strength amplified, it could pierce through steel. However:

Luffy, clad in White Knight Luffy, neither dodged nor flinched, but instead delivered a punch straight into the billowing smoke!

The fist struck through the air, carrying with it a cold and sharp gust of air, and an overwhelming aura that seemed to scatter a thousand troops, meeting Smoker head-on in a dignified manner!

Before the fist even landed, Smoker's body, which was originally covered in a thick, almost invisible, pale mist, was forced apart to the sides, revealing his true form.

Such powerful Haki!

Boom--

With a punch landing squarely on Smoker's Seastone weapon, Luffy, having trained with Roman's Seastone handcuffs and having his fist wrapped in White Knight's protective gear, was no longer as afraid of his opponent's weapon as before. He forcefully pushed the Logia-type Logia Devil Fruit user back several steps.

Don't get cocky!

The Seastone weapon was blocked, but Smoker's Devil Fruit ability was still intact: the billowing smoke behind him spread rapidly in Roman and Luffy's eyes like an avalanche, enveloping them with a piercing sound.

"Snort!"

Luffy's fist temporarily deflected the opponent's weapon, but he couldn't retract it in time. However, he wasn't alone now:

With a tearing sound from the shoulders of the pure white armor, two arms burst through the armor, wielding two longswords, and suddenly spun and cleaved! The Haki wrapped around the swords rode the wind and waves in the surging mist, striking straight forward!

Puff!

Smoker, who had been flying backward, lowered his head with a grim expression. Two bright red wounds on his ribs began to bleed.

"Get out of the way!"

Encased in his armor, Luffy forward, a flurry of punches magnified in Smoker's pupils. At the same time, he swung his shoulders, deflecting bullets and swords flying from either side.

Like a four-armed Asura!

"You are no longer our match!"
