The Might of a Single Strike!

"Mr. 3, please help me out."

"Ha?"

Mr. 3 paused, then turned to look at Bon Clay and said, "Don't joke around, I don't want to be killed by the Fleet Admiral!"

"I know you're scared, but there's no point in hiding here."

Seeing Mr. 3's attentive expression, Bon Clay continued, "The Navy will search the buildings sooner or later. Do you think you can escape?"

Mr. 3 fell silent; this was also something he was worried about.

'If the Navy corners me here, even ten lives wouldn't be enough for them to kill me!' Mr. 3 muttered to himself.

Going with this guy to the Execution platform to rescue Ace is just as dangerous, you bastard!

Damn it, what should he do?

Seeing Mr. 3 remain silent, Bon Clay assumed that Mr. 3 was unwilling to go with him to rescue the people.

Then Bon Clay strode toward the door, clearly intending to leave.

Upon regaining his senses, Mr. 3 instinctively asked, "Where are you going?"

"Of course, we're going to the Execution platform," Bon Clay said matter-of-factly. "I promised Little Xi Yan I would go and save Little Ace!"

Since he made a promise to his friends, he will do his best to fulfill it!

"Did you agree to Xi Yan's request?" Mr. 3 murmured.

Recalling that man's abilities, Mr. 3's mind immediately became active.

'Just like Mr. 2 said, staying here is no different from waiting to die,' Mr. 3 murmured to himself.

Instead of doing this, I might as well go and take a chance with Mr. 2. At least Xi Yan and the others can get me out of here!

As for the matter of possibly facing the Fleet Admiral next...

'Although I might be killed by Sengoku with one punch, if I succeed, I will gain the friendship of Whitebeard Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates!' Mr. 3 thought to himself.

Let's do it!

Thinking of this, Mr. 3 immediately said, "I'll go with you!"

"Huh?!"

Bon Clay, who was about to leave, paused for a moment upon hearing this, then looked at Mr. 3 with some surprise and said, "You're willing to come with me to rescue people?"

This guy was pretty resistant just now.

"Okay, I'll go with you," Mr. 3 nodded.

Hearing Mr. 3's words, Bon Clay paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, saying, "Hahahaha!"

"You really are a reliable man, Xiao San!"

As he spoke, Bon Clay excitedly patted Mr. 3 on the shoulder, each pat harder than the last.

"Damn it, that hurts!" Mr. 3 slapped Bon Clay's hand away and said, "And besides, my name is Mr. 3!"

"What's wrong with that way of addressing them?!" Bon Clay looked at Mr. 3 with a puzzled expression. "That's what I always Straw Hat and Little Xi Yan."

This is just his way of showing affection; there's no malice involved.

Mr. 3:...

Forget it, I can't be bothered arguing with this jerk.

After shaking his head, Mr. 3 said, "Let's go, let's get going."

"We'll leave together after we rescue them."

"Don't worry, Xi Yan will come and take us away in time," Bon Clay said with a loud laugh.

"Um."

With this assurance, Mr. 3 visibly relaxed and then asked, "Do you have any plans?"

"Of course!" Bon Clay nodded and said, "After we get the executioner's uniform, we'll disguise ourselves as executioners and approach the Execution platform."

"After that, find an opportunity to release a wall of candles to envelop the Execution platform, which will temporarily block the navy's view!"

Hearing Bon Clay's words, Mr. 3's eyes lit up, and he added, "Then I'll use the Sea Stone key I made from candles to rescue Fire Fist Ace, right?"

"That's right, that's exactly it!"

"Okay, then I have no problem." Mr. 3 nodded.

With his abilities, he could easily create a candle wall in the blink of an eye.

If they can seize the opportunity, they can rescue Fire Fist Ace!

"Let's go then!" Bon Clay laughed and said, "Let's work together to rescue Fire Fist Ace!"

"Profound!"

"Hahahaha!"

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Because of the Xi Yan Water Release Technique, the Moby Dick had already arrived above the Encirclement Wall and was hurtling towards the Navy's plaza!

"Charge, Ninja Bro!"

"Go! Smash those navy sailors to death!"

"Profound!!"

Looking at the scene below, the pirates immediately roared and howled, their expressions increasingly excited.

The navy personnel were horrified when they saw the massive pirate ship gradually descending.

"It's... it's Whitebeard's Moby Dick!"

"Quick, get out of the way!"

"Don't get hit, you'll die!"

Sensing the threat of death, the marines immediately turned and ran away into the distance, fearing they would be hit by the massive pirate ship.

Crocodile glanced at the figures on the pirate ship and said, "They've finally arrived."

"Fufufufufu~"

"So you know very well how powerful the Blood-Eyed Ninja's Water Release Technique are," Doflamingo chuckled. "Did you see it at Underwater Great Prison?"

"Ah, more or less," Crocodile said.

On the way here, the other party had used Water Release Technique to General Warship, so he wasn't surprised.

"Fufufufufu~"

"Interesting."

Staring at the massive pirate ship crashing to the ground, Doflamingo laughed and said, "Looks like it's time to start the second round!"

The navy's Encirclement Wall plan has failed, so... what follows is a brutal battle!

Come on, let's see if Whitebeard can actually sink the Navy Headquarters!

Fufufufufu!

"Hehe, it seems things are progressing quite smoothly," Xi Yan said with a chuckle.

Without Aokiji, his Water Release Technique could easily send Whitebeard and the others into the plaza!

In this way... the scales of victory will tip in their favor!

"Ninja are really scary," Borsalino said, pursing his lips.

Xi Yan didn't say anything about it, he just shrugged.

"Whitebeard, huh?" Akainu glanced up at the pirate ship and said coldly, "Fine, I'll personally bury you here!"

"Ha, you want to kill your Pops?" Marco sneered, "You're dreaming!"

Akainu merely sneered at this and said nothing.

The next moment...

"Boom!!"

The Moby Dick crashed into the square, instantly unleashing a terrifying wind pressure!

"Ah!"

Some of the sailors who didn't remember to escape were blown away by the wind pressure and crashed to the ground in the distance!

"Pops and the others are here!" Jinbe said.

"Whitebeard, huh?" Ivankov glanced back at Whitebeard, grinned, and said, "With them on our side, the pressure on us is less."

That way, they can get to the Execution platform much faster!

Just then, the pirates on the Moby Dick roared.

"We've entered the square!"

"Prepare for battle! We must rescue Ace!"

"Profound!!"

"Everyone... Pops..."

Looking at the people on the Moby Dick, Ace's eyes welled up with tears.

"Thank you, Ninja Kid," Whitebeard said.

If the other side hadn't Water Release Technique to help them reach the plaza, they would have suffered even greater casualties to get here.

Therefore, Whitebeard was still very grateful to Xi Yan.

"No need to be so polite," Xi Yan said. "After all, we're on the same side now."

Regardless, he needs the Whitebeard Pirates ' strength to fight against the Marines in the plaza, so they're helping him too, aren't they?

"Kula la la la~"

"That's true," the Whitebeard chuckled.

After laughing, the man turned and walked towards the bow of the ship.

After reaching the bow of the ship, Whitebeard glanced at the group of marines below, then leaped off the ship!

The next moment...

"Boom!!"

The moment he landed, all the Marines around Whitebeard were blasted away!

"Ah!"

"Whitebeard... Whitebeard has entered the plaza!" the Marine roared!

Looking at the cold-faced man, some of the nearby sailors began to tremble with fear.

Clearly, the title of the World's Strongest Man puts too much pressure on them.

"So this guy finally got involved himself!" Sengoku exclaimed.

It seems he can't just stay here and watch.

If they start to falter, he must attack immediately!

Of course, before that, he hoped to get rid of Ace first.

Thinking of this, Sengoku turned to look at the communications soldier and said, "Hey, when will the executioners arrive?"

"I've already notified them, and they're probably on their way here," the communications soldier said.

"So slow?" Sengoku frowned.

It seems there's no way to get rid of Ace anytime soon.

In that case... let's see if we can deal with Whitebeard first!

With that in mind, Sengoku turned his gaze to Whitebeard.

And it was at this moment that Whitebeard made his move!

"Weng~"

He lifted Murakumogiri's Whitebeard and immediately imbued the sword with his Devil Fruit power.

The next moment...

"Click!"

The Whitebeard's single slash shattered the very air in front of him, instantly creating a terrifying shockwave!

"Boom!!"

A terrifying shockwave struck the navy in front, instantly blasting away a large number of them!

"Ah!!"

The sailors who were blasted away screamed as they flew toward the ruins behind them, eventually crashing into the rubble and losing consciousness!

"Such power in a single attack?!" Vice Admiral Momonga exclaimed. "No wonder he's Whitebeard."

Vice Admiral Momonga, feeling the terrifying shockwave, turned extremely pale.

Upon witnessing this scene, the pirates roared and howled in terror!

"As expected of Pops!"

"Keep up with Pops!"

"Profound!!!"

A large number of pirates followed their respective Squad Captain as they jumped off the Moby Dick, landing steadily behind Whitebeard.

Sensing the movement behind him, the Whitebeard's lips curled up slightly.

Then, he looked up at the Sengoku and gave them a provocative look.

His expression seemed to say, "Sengoku, aren't you going to come down and spar with me?"

"This guy..." Sengoku's face darkened. "Is he challenging me to a fight?!"

If Ace has indeed been executed, he will certainly go down and confront this old rival he hasn't seen for decades.

But for now... let's protect the Execution platform first.

Thinking of this, Sengoku withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at Whitebeard.

Seeing that Sengoku had no intention of making a move, Whitebeard withdrew his gaze and then turned his attention to the Marines ahead.

Then he said, "My men!"

"Take down the Marines and rescue Ace!"

"Profound!!"

Upon receiving the order, the pirates roared in unison, their morale soaring to its peak!

"Go! Take down these marines!" Jozu roared.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man led a group of men to attack the navy ahead, trying to eliminate as many of their forces as possible.

"Go! Follow Captain Jozu and charge!"

"Profound!"

"We, the Fifth Division, can't fall behind!" Vista roared.

"Profound!"

The pirates of the Fifth Division followed Vista and charged towards the Marines.

"Don't enter my line of sight," Whitebeard said.

"Clear!!"

Knowing what their Pops's Devil Fruit ability was, the pirates immediately attacked from the side, leaving the main battle to Whitebeard.

"Alright, let's begin the second round!" Whitebeard coldly looked at the Marines ahead and said, "Marine!"

"It seems we can't waste any more time," Aokiji said, frowning.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man charged towards Boa Hancock without hesitation, moving at incredible speed!

"Trying to take me in quickly?!" Hancock's eyes turned cold. "Isn't that a bit too much of an insult?"

As she spoke, Hancock Haki herself in Haki and kicked Aokiji.

"Ice Age Capsule!"

"Weng~"

An incredibly terrifying chill flew out from Aokiji's hand, heading straight for Hancock in mid-air!

"Varied...?!"

Hancock's pupils contracted instantly upon feeling the terrifying chill, and then she unhesitatingly wrapped her entire body in Haki, protecting herself firmly within it!

The next moment...

"Click!"

Hancock, struck by the cold air, was frozen into an ice sculpture in the blink of an eye!

"What?!"

Seeing Hancock easily frozen into an ice sculpture by Aokiji, the pirates who were nearby were immediately shocked.

That woman who could rival Navy Hero... was actually frozen into an ice sculpture?

Is this the power of Marine Admiral?!

Truly terrifying!

"Phew~"

After finishing this task, Aokiji exhaled a chill and said, "Finally, it's over..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a series of cracking sounds, as if something was breaking.

"Um?"

He turned to look at the ice sculpture that was gradually cracking, and murmured to himself, "Did he use his Haki to protect his body?"

It seems that trapping this woman won't be an easy task.

'Fine, even if it only keeps them trapped for a while, it'll do,' Aokiji murmured to himself. 'That way, I'll be able to free up my hands.'

After nodding, Aokiji quickly left the area and rushed towards Whitebeard's direction.

It was at this moment that Whitebeard made his move.

The man raised his large sword, imbuing the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit into Murakumogiri, clearly intending to launch the same attack as before.

"That trick again!"

Some sailors who witnessed this scene immediately showed expressions of horror.

With their strength, there was no way they could withstand Whitebeard's Tremor power!

"Don't even think about it!"

Aokiji, appearing directly in front of Whitebeard, launched an attack without hesitation.

"Ice Ball!!"

"Boom!"

Several thick gusts of cold air flew out from Aokiji's hand, heading straight for the Whitebeard.

The next moment...

"Click!"

The Whitebeard, struck by the icy air, was instantly frozen inside a giant Ice Ball!
