When Oboro and his party flew to the waters near Marineford, the calm sea was suddenly stirred up again.

At the same time, a large number of molten lava fireballs, resembling meteorites, fell from the sky.

These two powers originated from Whitebeard and Admiral Akainu, respectively.

"It's a really intense fight..."

Shiryu gave a cold laugh.

Long immediately increased his speed.

Upon arriving above the island, while he was setting up the Blood Pluton, the battle scene had undergone a dramatic transformation compared to the previous live broadcast.

Little Oars Jr. the Demon has already brought the large ship from the boiling waters of the inner bay to the plaza.

The ice that Aokiji had frozen was melted by Akainu's power. The Navy used a dirty trick, raising a huge enclosure in the inner bay, trying to trap the One Piece in a 'cage' and wipe them out in one fell swoop. But at the critical moment, the enclosure malfunctioned because of Little Oars Jr., and Majin once again played an important role.

However, Whitebeard's situation was quite dire.

He had a conspicuous wound on his chest, clearly indicating that he had been stabbed by his own son, while also facing three generals.

The Whitebeard Pirates focused all their efforts on protecting Luffy as he made his final sprint.

The battle has reached a fever pitch.

Therefore, even though Oboro and the others were high in the sky, no one could notice them.

It wasn't just the Hell Pirates were hiding... Oboro's senses had already detected that someone had landed on the other side of the island and was moving towards the battlefield.

Undoubtedly... it was Marshall D. Teach's group.

Although they arrived late, the timing was quite clever.

Bon Kurei had been placed on the battlefield by Oboro without anyone noticing.

Crocodile looked down at Whitebeard with a cold gaze. He had a strong urge to attack, but he had to give up because of his previous agreement with Oboro.

What followed was exactly the same scene as in Oboro's memory.

Luffy faced repeated obstacles and was even nearly killed by a Marine Admiral, but with the help of his crew, he successfully escaped danger. He also received another injection of healing hormones from Ivankov, enduring the cost of reduced lifespan, and raced along the earthen bridge erected by the Revolutionary Army to Inazuma execution platform, Luffy he delivered a solid One-Punch Man to Garp.

After being attacked by Sengoku the Buddha, he successfully rescued Ace.

"Aren't you going to make a move?"

Bare clenched his fists, looking rather impatient.

He was very excited.

Or rather, the Hell Pirates were all very excited.

What excited them was that this war involved many of the strongest warriors at the top of the seas, especially Whitebeard.

The idea of being able to kill Yonko (Emperor of the Sea) is quite appealing.

"What's the point of bullying a seriously injured old man who's dragging his sick body?... Wait a little longer, and you'll have your fill of trouble."

Long raised the corners of her mouth.

"Oh? You mean there's a main event?"

Bare grinned widely.

"Certainly."

Ace's rescue sparked cheers from the One Piece.

However, their joy was short-lived... and tragedy struck.

With an extremely insidious plan, Akainu Sakazuki feigned an attack on Luffy and ultimately killed Ace with One-Punch Man.

Enraged, Whitebeard, despite being severely injured by Akainu's One-Punch Man, still unleashed his peak power at the cost of his life.

At this moment, even Oboro got goosebumps all over his body.

Marineford, already devastated, had its 'gate' destroyed in an instant by the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Even Akainu was almost killed by the old man.

In his final moments, Whitebeard gave the order for all the One Piece to flee, and used his Devil Fruit powers to divide the battlefield, creating a massive, deep chasm.

However, Akainu, who had fallen into the crevice, managed to climb back onto the ground with his remaining strength and began chasing after Straw Hat.

Only then, with the naval base reduced to ruins, did those present finally see the massive figure hidden behind it—San Juan Wolf, a new member of the Blackbeard Pirates, was thus exposed. The intense battle had the Marines and the Whitebeard Pirates focused their attention on each other, completely unaware of the other forces present.

Sengoku's expression changed drastically. He looked up at the execution platform and saw a large group of people standing there.

It was Marshall D. Teach, who had just taken office as a Shichibukai.

The group of faces around Blackbeard were all escaped prisoners imprisoned in Impel Down's Infinite Hell.

At this moment, the Sengoku had come to its senses.

Blackbeard... also went to Impel Down! Then, in front of everyone, Blackbeard mocked the Navy and the World Government. At this moment, he... finally began to show his 'fangs,' stating bluntly that becoming a Shichibukai was merely a means to an end. Seeing Whitebeard covered in blood and barely breathing, he laughed triumphantly.

Whitebeard shattered the execution platform into pieces with One-Punch Man, but failed to injure any of the Blackbeard Pirates.

After landing, Marshall D. Teach, confident of victory, personally went to Whitebeard, ready to "send off" the old man.

Then, he was almost killed by Whitebeard.

Despite suffering hundreds of stab wounds, dozens of cannonballs, being stabbed through the chest by Squard, being ambushed by Kizaru, and being struck by Akainu ... even the mighty Whitebeard finally exhausted himself and failed to kill Blackbeard. In front of the whole world, he delivered his final words, proclaiming that Roger's One Piece was real, and then died standing up.

Upon witnessing this scene, all the members of the Whitebeard Pirates burst into tears, their expressions filled with grief.

Marshall D. Teach, on the other hand, wore an excited smile.

His ultimate goal is finally about to be achieved! The members of the Blackbeard Pirates formed a circle around Whitebeard.

Led by the devilish sheriff, Lafitte and his gang lifted a large black cloth, preparing to cover the Whitebeard corpse.

At the same time, he said, "Get ready for the greatest performance in the world!"

Whitebeard of the Yonko, is dead! A dramatic change is about to occur! The One Piece is real! Blackbeard Teach has declared his intention to take over the new era—what will he do? On the live broadcast, viewers worldwide are utterly astonished by the series of shifts in the battle situation.

Despite his injuries, Blackbeard was extremely excited. As the black cloth on his head fell away, the corners of his mouth turned up even more clearly... and his eyes burst with unprecedented ambition.

"Hello..."

However, it was at this delicate juncture that...

As the black cloth slowly descended, suddenly, a gust of yellow sand swept up and blew the black cloth away.

A figure materialized in mid-air along with the quicksand, staring coldly at the stunned Marshall D. Teach, and said in a chilling voice, "Get out of the way!"

Just two words.

Just two simple words.

Marshall D. Teach turned pale instantly.

"Crocodile!" Blackbeard's pupils shrank to pinpoints.

I broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

He wasn't afraid of Crocodile... but rather the man behind Crocodile.

Crocodile's presence here means... the God Slayer, the Hell Pirates, have arrived!

Crocodile's appearance not only left Marshall D. Teach's mind blank, but Sengoku and a group of naval commanders in the distance also sensed something was wrong, and their sense of crisis surged.

At this moment, the three admirals were all pursuing Straw Hat Luffy, Akainu was fighting Emporio Ivankov, and Kizaru and Aokiji witnessed Straw Hat and Jinbe boarding a yellow submarine and activating their Devil Fruit abilities towards the surface. As a result, they didn't immediately notice what was happening behind the scenes.

Even if it's just the landmass of Marineford, the area affected by this war is Whitebeard Pirates are retreating frantically, and ordinary marines can't pursue them because the battlefield has been divided into sections by the abyss created by Whitebeard ...

The Whitebeard Pirates' commanders were also seriously injured. Even without the intervention of the Marines, it's estimated that very few of the three admirals would be able to leave Marineford alive.

At this point, barring any unforeseen circumstances... their casualties would be extremely severe.

"Kill him!"

Marshall D. Teach's terrified expression immediately turned fierce, and he let out a sinister grin.

He was giving orders to his comrades.

He can't let it go! He can tolerate other things.

He would never give up the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Even... the God Slayer is the same.

His years of planning, his perseverance, and every step he took were all for this day.

Just like when he 'infiltrated' the Whitebeard Pirates, hoping to one day obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit is crucial to his ambitions; it is of paramount importance. Only by obtaining it can he truly dominate the seas.

Upon hearing this, the entire Blackbeard Pirates were filled with murderous intent, setting their sights on Crocodile and preparing to attack.

However, Crocodile, with a cigar in his mouth, looked at Marshall D. Teach's rebellious desire with disdain, as if he were looking at a dead man.

The next second.

Everyone in the Blackbeard Pirates felt a chill run down their spines, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

The once noisy battlefield seemed to suddenly fall silent, turning into a silent film.

Even in broad daylight, it was like an illusion, turning into an incomparably dark black miasma.

Marshall D. Teach's hair stood on end. Even without turning his head, the sudden gaze from behind made him stop breathing for a moment.

The fierce expression on his face froze.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Hey, Marshall D. Teach... do you want to bite... your master?"

A series of footsteps approached slowly, as if treading on the hearts of the Blackbeard Pirates members.

Behind Marshall D. Teach, a man in a suit and tie, hands in his pockets, wearing a round hat, asked with a smile.

Beneath the brim of the hat were a pair of extremely cold eyes.
