The battle at Marineford is intensifying.

Under the Navy's relentless offensive, Whitebeard Pirates continued to die.

The Whitebeard Pirates possessed a considerable number of high-level combatants, including thirty-four subordinate pirate crews. The captains of these crews were all renowned in the New World, which, while partly due to Whitebeard's fame, was enough to demonstrate their strength.

Among them, the strongest are no weaker than the squad leader and can withstand Marine Vice Admiral.

However, the Navy has many more strong individuals who surpass the Vice Admiral level.

Furthermore, Sakazuki, Garp, and Sengoku haven't made their move yet, and two more CP0 members are lurking in the shadows.

Marco is currently engaged in a fierce battle with Admiral Kizaru and dares not relax his guard at all; the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit should not be underestimated.

Haki needs to be used sparingly and strategically. If one isn't careful, a single laser beam from Borsalino could severely injure him.

Even if one possesses the Phoenix Blue Flame to recover, it will ultimately consume a significant amount of stamina, as the more severe the injury, the greater the stamina required.

Especially his ability, which consumes a lot of physical strength, means that even though he is Mythical Zoan, he cannot match other ability users in terms of endurance when it comes to actual combat.

Admiral Kuzan is fighting Whitebeard; the collision of ice and vibrational power seems to have created two separate worlds.

The extensibility of freezing power means that even if it is cracked, it can quickly recover under the influence of cold air.

It can be said that, in a head-on confrontation, Kuzan's performance was no less impressive than Whitebeard's.

There was absolutely no situation where he was suppressed like he was in the battle against Kaido.

This also shows that Whitebeard's strength has declined significantly, not even half of his peak strength. After all, Whitebeard's ability to become the "strongest" relied not only on the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, but also on his own powerful physique, top-level Haki, and physical skills.

The Whitebeard Pirates were already at a disadvantage. The cannons in the bay were constantly attacking the Whitebeard Pirates, and the powerful firepower and explosions were reaping the lives of many pirates.

Not many people can ignore artillery shells with their bodies and withstand explosions; most people need to rely on their Haki to defend themselves.

Even if one can skillfully use Haki, some people are not used to having Haki covering their entire body, or they have not trained in this area, which inevitably leads to physical injury.

In Gion, many Marine Vice Admiral are still displaying their might, but captains of their pirate crews have already been killed.

The death of his family member, with whom he had spent every day, severely provoked Jozu, making him even angrier.

His gaze fell upon the Execution Platform and the numerous navy personnel still arriving at the port. He retreated several times, avoiding the Kake.

He plunged his hands into the ice, and with his terrifying strength, the entire ice surface trembled as he lifted a giant block of ice.

The massive ice block made Jozu's body appear extremely small; its diameter was a full hundred meters.

"Die, Marines!" Jozu roared, hurling the giant block of ice towards the Execution Platform.

He wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate a large number of naval forces, weaken their strength, and damage their reputation.

At this moment, Admiral Akainu made his move, appearing calm and collected, releasing a large amount of magma as his single arm transformed into elemental form.

"Great Eruption!"

A powerful punch slammed into the approaching giant ice block, and a large amount of lava condensed into a giant Magma Fist, which smashed directly onto the giant ice.

With its immense destructive power, the giant ice was instantly shattered by the Magma Fist, melting completely under the scorching heat.

And the trend shows no signs of slowing down, soaring into the sky at an even faster speed.

The entire Magma Fist suddenly exploded, and a large number of magma projectiles burst out and fell from the sky.

It crashed onto the ice, creating a huge crater, and directly destroyed a Whitebeard Pirates' second-in-command ship.

The fierce battle raged under pressure, with the Whitebeard Pirates displaying exceptional bravery, as did the Marines, resulting in escalating losses on both sides.

Just then, the earth trembled, and a figure several times taller than a giant appeared— the Oars Jr..

He is a descendant of the legendary demon "Oars the Oars".

With its superhuman monstrous physique, it charged forward relentlessly.

With its immense power, it propelled a naval warship sideways.

No one could stop him; he simply carved out a path for the Whitebeard Pirates.

Oars was so powerful that ordinary navy personnel couldn't stop him, and he walked straight to the front of the Execution Platform.

At this moment, "Tyrant" Bear made his move. His invisible bear paw shrank continuously, compressing the air to the extreme, condensing it in his palm, and then pushed forward, slamming it into Oars's body.

The compressed air cannon exploded directly inside Oars's body, spreading outwards and affecting areas outside Oars body.

A large amount of rubble was thrown out by the impact of the air blast.

Kuma didn't hold back. Dragon's original intention was for him to help the Navy, but he also had a pirate's attitude, meaning he didn't want Kuma to fight too hard.

The destruction, both internal and external, inflicted immense damage on Oars, but his powerful vitality allowed him to persevere and refuse to stop; he still wanted to save his companions.

As they drew ever closer, their massive bodies became like live targets, with artillery fire relentlessly raining down on them, pounding on their heads.

It caused him harm.

His entire body swayed precariously under the onslaught of artillery fire.

For many, this was the first time they had ever seen Oars, the legendary monster, and they never imagined that he existed in the New World.

With its enormous body and yellowish-green skin, it truly lives up to its name as a "demon."

Even with his strong vitality, Oars could no longer withstand such relentless attacks and collapsed, trying to finish off one of the Shichibukai before he fell.

The giant fist hurtled straight toward Doflamingo.

"Baboon! Baboon!" Doflamingo was completely unfazed by the attack.

With a slight hook of his hand, Oars' body stopped abruptly, his fist unable to advance any further as it approached Doflamingo.

"W-what's going on? I can't move my body." Oars suddenly felt that he couldn't control his body, as if he were imprisoned.

Unbeknownst to him, Doflamingo's puppet strings had silently invaded his body, binding various parts of him. If he so desired, he could use the puppet strings to sever Oars' heart and kill him instantly.

"Baboon! Give it a try, it's a new toy." Doflamingo was also interested; it was his first time controlling such a large creature.

If it weren't for the bear's powerful attacks and the barrage of artillery fire, which aggravated Oars's injuries and reduced his control over his body, he wouldn't have been able to control Oars.

After all, to control Oars's body, one needs to be stronger Oars; otherwise, it will be impossible to control him, resulting in a standoff and a state of confinement.

To control this enormous body, the threads must be strong enough, and one must possess the power to control its body.

This is not difficult for Doflamingo.

One thread isn't enough; what about ten, or a hundred?

It's just a bit troublesome to operate.

Doflamingo flicked his finger, Oars moved his hand slightly, then slowly turned around, picked up his weapon, and walked away.

Having found his target, Doflamingo slid his finger downwards, and amidst horrified and disbelieving gazes, Oars raised his massive club and slammed it down on his companions below.

"Everyone, run! I can't control my body anymore!" Oars shouted, tears welling in his eyes.

This was a nightmare, watching one of my comrades after another get hurt or even killed by me.

"Damn you, Heavenly Yaksha!" Upon seeing this, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates were enraged. How dare you treat their family like this!

Under the control of "Heavenly Yaksha" Doflamingo, the Whitebeard Pirates staged a scene of infighting.

Jozu couldn't hold back any longer and unleashed a powerful punch at Kake. After repelling Kake, he once again unleashed astonishing speed and charged towards Doflamingo.

Kake once again managed to remove Jozu from his battlefield, and somewhat venting his anger, he set his sights on other pirates.

He wasn't worried about Doflamingo being threatened; he knew Doflamingo's approximate strength, and besides, there were several other Shichibukai over there.

Jozu was incredibly fast, but he was also directly controlled by Doflamingo's puppet strings.

But unlike Oars, Jozu had no control over his body, which had turned into diamond.

The momentary distraction allowed Oars had regained some strength, to put up a fierce resistance and regain control of his body.

He staggered slightly, but charged toward the Execution Platform once more.

Seeing Jozu under control, Sakazuki seized the opportunity, appeared behind Jozu, and delivered a powerful punch to him.

A terrifying eruption of lava completely engulfed Jozu's body.

Meanwhile, Crocodile seemed to be quite restless, and as Oars approached, a small sand scroll appeared in his hand.

"Sand Devolution!"

Crocodile simply waved his hand, and the small sand tornado rapidly expanded into a giant tornado, though it was made of sand.

This attack directly enveloped half of Oars's body, with the sand and wind cutting through Oars flesh, causing countless wounds.

At the same time, taking advantage of the sand's water-absorbing properties, they continuously drained water from Oars's body.

The intense pain caused Oars to let out a scream.

The sand roll was soaked in blood, turning blood red, which became very eerie.

Soon the sand scroll gradually disappeared, revealing a scene that was terrifying.

The part of Oars covered by the sandbloom had become shriveled, dry, and dehydrated.

He didn't even have the strength to stand up and collapsed to the ground. If it weren't for Oars's strong vitality, he would have died by now.

At this point, he wouldn't live much longer without water.

This move was far too cruel.

It might have little effect on those with strong Armament Haki, but against Oars and Titans, whose massive bodies make it difficult to fully utilize Armament Haki, it is extremely lethal.

"Oars!"

Seeing this scene, even Whitebeard couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow.

His attention was slightly diverted, and Kuzan seized the opportunity, releasing a terrifying chill that froze Whitebeard's body.

The next moment, the ice shattered, and a giant fist slammed into Kuzan. Kuzan released a chilling aura to defend himself, but he was still blasted away by the immense force.

Crocodile, having defeated Oars in one move, was in high spirits and immediately set his sights on Whitebeard, transforming into his elemental form and charging towards Whitebeard at incredible speed.

He's here for revenge.

A large amount of sandstorm surged out and rushed directly towards Whitebeard.

Seeing this, Whitebeard immediately unleashed a powerful punch imbued with the force of vibration.

It directly blocks the onslaught of wind and sand, while the force of the vibration continues to spread.

This is meaningless to Crocodile, who has already been elementalized and is hidden in the sandstorm.

"Whitebeard, let me take your head!"

The figure materialized in an instant, appearing beside Whitebeard, and a "Desert Sword" made of sand attacked Whitebeard.

Whitebeard shattered the precious sword with a single punch.

His body burst forth with astonishing speed, rushing directly into the sandstorm. His fist, covered in Armament Haki, slammed forward and actually grabbed Crocodile had already reformed into his elemental form.

Crocodile was momentarily stunned, not quite realizing how he had been discovered.

"You rely too much on Devil Fruit User, brat!" Crocodile was furious at the damage Whitebeard had caused Oars.

While elemental transformation can evade physical attacks, it doesn't mean it can conceal one's presence. Crocodile was too careless.

After grabbing him, a punch imbued with terrifying power slammed into Crocodile's head.

The terrifying attack caused Crocodile's eyes to roll back, and he nearly fainted.

The entire ice surface cracked.

Although Crocodile was severely punished, he did not lose his fighting ability. He simply transformed into his elemental form and disappeared from the spot.

Crocodile wanted to run away, and Whitebeard couldn't stop him; there was nothing he could do about it.

At this moment, the Whitebeard's eyes widened in fury.

Jozu suffered considerable injuries after taking a punch from Sakazuki; the hardness of diamonds is enough to withstand the high temperature of magma.

The main problem was that his body was being controlled; Sakazuki's appearance was so sudden that he didn't have enough time to prepare.

The high temperature of the magma also burned away the Parasite String that controlled him, allowing him to regain his mobility.

However, before he could recover, Admiral Aokiji appeared behind him, and a terrifying chill instantly froze his entire body.

The cold air continued to be released, spreading and freezing Jozu's flesh and blood, extinguishing Jozu life force.

Thanks to Crocodile's help, Kuzan escaped and immediately set his sights on Diamond Jozu.

The successive attacks were perfectly coordinated.

Jozu's aura was gradually weakening.

This scene caused Marco to lose his composure, and the terrifying laser pierced through Marco's body in an instant.

Then, Borsalino kicked Marco, sending him flying.

Whitebeard intervened, intending to rescue Jozu; otherwise, he would be killed.

However, at this moment...

"The Yasakani no Magatama!"

Countless light projectiles rained down from the sky, continuously striking Whitebeard.

Whitebeard could only defend himself.

After dealing with the energy blasts, Borsalino appeared directly in front of him and kicked out from mid-air.

This delayed Whitebeard's advance.

Borsalino never lets you down when it matters most.

Kuzan glanced at Sakazuki to the side.

Jozu isn't dead yet; he's still instinctively resisting. Under these circumstances, it's difficult for Kuzan to kill him quickly unless he's given more time, but unfortunately, this is a battlefield.

"Canine Red Lotus!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Sakazuki delivered a powerful punch directly to Jozu's frozen head.

"No!"

Everyone stared wide-eyed; the Whitebeard Pirates couldn't believe it, while the Marines were secretly thrilled.

Diamond Jozu, a key Whitebeard Pirates, is dead, shocking the entire audience.

Blood flowed on the Magma Fist, but it was quickly evaporated.

This series of perfect teamwork resulted in such a powerful record. Of course, a crucial point was that Doflamingo controlled Jozu's body.

Therefore, Sakazuki, who initially disliked Doflamingo, found Doflamingo much more agreeable.
