Bastard, Don't Get in This One's Way to Find Xi Yan!

"Pops?!?"

Seeing Whitebeard frozen inside the ice, the pirates behind him immediately showed expressions of horror.

They never dreamed that this man would be trapped by Marine Admiral!

On the other hand, the navy members wore expressions of great excitement.

"Great! Whitebeard is frozen in place!"

However, Aokiji did not show any excitement; he still looked at Whitebeard with a solemn expression.

Just then, the Ice Ball that had frozen the Whitebeard suddenly developed a crack!

"Click!"

"Click-clack-click-clack!"

The cracks widened until it finally shattered into ice shards!

"Boom!!"

Seeing this, Aokiji said, "It seems that tremors can't be frozen."

In that case, we'll have to resort to other attack methods!

With that thought in mind, he jumped into the air without hesitation and activated his Devil Fruit ability at the same time.

"Two ice cubes..."

"Clang!"

Before he could finish speaking, Whitebeard's Haki -infused Murakumogiri pierced his chest, piercing right through him!

"Kuzan... Admiral Kuzan?!"

The sailors watched in disbelief, their eyes filled with horror.

Could it be... that their Admiral is dead?

"Hahaha, see that? That's the power of Pops!"

"Damn Marine Admiral, you got stabbed by Pops's Haki, didn't you!"

"Serves you right!"

The pirates watched this scene with laughter, their expressions increasingly excited.

"Haki?" Aokiji said, "That kind of tactic might not work on me!"

As long as you can Elementalization in advance and transfer your main body to another location, you can avoid the attack of the Haki!

"Observation Haki, huh?" Whitebeard frowned.

It seems that this Aokiji's Observation Haki has reached a rather profound level.

However, Whitebeard didn't seem to care.

Just because you can dodge it once doesn't mean you can dodge it a second time!

Thinking of this, Whitebeard gripped Murakumogiri, intending to pull the weapon back.

However, before he could even make a move, Aokiji activated his Devil Fruit ability, freezing Whitebeard's Murakumogiri into an ice pillar!

If it weren't for the protective Haki, this weapon would likely have been frozen solid!

"Take this, Whitebeard!" Aokiji shouted, "Ice Block, Two-Spiked Spear!"

"Buzz~"

Several Ice Spear appeared beside Aokiji, who then intended to throw Ice Spear at Whitebeard!

Just then, a figure shimmering with diamond-like luster appeared beside Aokiji and elbowed him in the face!

"Armed - Flash Charge!"

"Bump!!"

The terrifying blow shattered Aokiji's body into shards of ice!

After finishing this task, Jozu looked at Whitebeard and said, "Pops, leave this guy to me, you go ahead!"

Whitebeard nodded upon hearing this and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

After saying this, the man strode away from the place, heading towards the Execution platform.

After watching Whitebeard leave, Jozu turned his gaze to Aokiji, who had returned to human form, and said, "Aokiji, I will be your opponent!"

Staring at the sparkling diamonds on Diamond Jozu's body, Aokiji wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "It's you again...?"

I was just knocked away by this guy, and now I've been knocked away again.

"That's right, it's me!" Jozu said. "This time, I won't let you escape again!"

After shouting, Jozu rushed towards Aokiji, simultaneously wrapping his elbows with Armament Haki.

"Diamond Elbow Strike!"

Faced with Jozu's attack, Aokiji didn't waste any words and immediately used his Devil Fruit ability to create an Ice Bird, then wrapped Haki around the bird's head.

"Ice Cube - Blizzard Pheasant Beak!"

The next moment, their attacks collided!

"Clang!"

"Boom!!"

The collision between the elbow and the Ice Bird instantly unleashed a terrifying shockwave, sending the surrounding marines flying!

"Ah!"

The sailors, thrown back by the shockwave, screamed as they flew into the distance, each one looking more miserable than the last.

One of the unlucky ones flew in the direction Hancock was.

"Um?"

Hancock glanced at the Marines charging towards her, frowned instinctively, and then kicked one of them!

"Fragrant Foot!"

"Click!"

With just one kick, he turned the navy soldier flying in mid-air into a stone statue, and then shattered it!

After finishing this task, Hancock glanced in the direction where Aokiji and Diamond George were fighting and said, "Diamond Jozu?"

After watching the two fight for a while, Hancock came to a conclusion.

That is... with Jozu Jozu's strength, he should have no problem stopping Aokiji for the time being.

Thinking this through, Hancock said, "It seems I don't need to intervene to stop Aokiji."

That's good, she can take this opportunity to go find Xi Yan!

Thinking of this, Hancock turned to look in the direction where Xi Yan and Borsalino were fighting, and a smile appeared on her face.

Then, the woman moved.

Hancock kicked a navy officer who was blocking her way and shouted, "Don't block my path!"

"Ah!!"

The navy officer who was kicked let out a shrill scream and then flew away into the distance.

"Damn it, this woman has been controlled by the Blood-Eyed Ninja, we can't beat her!" the Marine said.

"We have to find a way to rescue her!"

"Indeed, otherwise we would be the ones who suffer."

After making this decision, the navy began to figure out how to free Hancock from control.

Unfortunately, their plan was doomed to fail when faced with a Pirate Empress willingly allowed herself to be 'controlled'.

"That bastard!"

As Sengoku watched Hancock charge forward, veins bulged on Sengoku face.

Then, he picked up the Den Den Mushi and said, "Strawberry, you two go and stop Boa Hancock!!"

"Boa Hancock?"

Upon hearing the name of Marshal Sengoku Strawberry paused for a moment, then looked in Hancock's direction and said, "That woman who was controlled by the Blood-Eyed Ninja, huh?"

After seeing what the woman was doing, Strawberry frowned and said, "What a troublesome woman."

He then called to the Vice Admiral beside him, "Let's go, let's stop Boa Hancock!"

The Vice Admiral who was called over instinctively wanted to say something, but after considering what Marshal Sengoku had just said, he swallowed his words.

Then, the two used Geppo to quickly rush towards Boa Hancock's direction.

"Pirate Empress, stop right there!!"

Hearing the sound coming from above, Hancock subconsciously frowned.

Then, she turned her gaze to the two people in the air and said, "Two Vice Admiral?"

"Great! It's the Vice Admiral!"

Upon seeing the two Vice Admiral lying on the ground, the sailors immediately showed expressions of surprise and delight.

With these two adults here, they can definitely stop the Pirate Empress!

"We can't let you run rampant any longer," Strawberry said coldly.

"That's right!"

"With the two of us here, you'd better stay here obediently!"

"Click~"

Hearing what these two people said, Hancock's forehead veins bulged. Was she being underestimated?

Then, she stomped her foot on the ground and said, "You two, don't get in my way as I go to find Xi Yan!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hancock rushed forward and kicked the two of them!

"Go! Stop her!"

"Profound!"

Two Vice Admiral shouted and launched an attack on Hancock as well.

"Clang!"

"Boom!!"

"Ah!!"

The marines who hadn't had time to evacuate were directly blasted away by the aftershocks of the three's battle!

The three then engaged in a fierce battle in the area, their wide-ranging and aggressive fighting style deterring both the navy and pirates from approaching the area easily!

However, as the battle progressed, everyone noticed something was wrong. Why were the two Vice Admiral showing signs of weakness?!

Could it be... that even two Vice Admiral working together couldn't defeat the Pirate Empress?!

Upon realizing this, a look of shock appeared in everyone's eyes.

"As expected of the Pirate Empress, her strength is truly formidable," Ivankov remarked.

Luckily, this guy was hypnotized by Xi Yan, otherwise they would definitely be the ones who suffered!

"Forget about that, let's figure out how to deal with the Navy right now!" Jinbe said.

As he spoke, Jinbe struck a signature Fish-Man Karate pose and then threw a punch!

"Fish-Man Karate - Five Thousand Brick Fist!"

"Boom!!"

With a single strike, several marines blocking its path were sent flying!

"Those damned Shichibukai..."

"Go! Don't back down! Stop them!"

"Profound!!"

Led by several Vice Admiral, the naval personnel rushed towards the location.

"This is never going to end..."

Seeing the endless stream of marines rushing towards them, Jinbe frowned.

Just then, Bartholomew Kuma appeared beside them, calmly watching the group of marines charging towards them.

"Um?"

Upon recognizing Bartholomew Kuma, Jinbe paused for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Where's that Vice Admiral from before?"

Bartholomew Bear didn't speak, but simply pointed in the direction he had come from.

Following the other person's finger, Jinbe noticed the Vice Admiral lying on the ground.

Clearly, the Vice Admiral had been knocked unconscious by Bartholomew Kuma.

"They've already taken them down...?" Jinbe asked in surprise.

It seems that Bartholomew Kuma is even stronger than he imagined.

"As expected of you, Big Bear," Ivankov said with a complicated expression.

Even though his consciousness has been erased, this guy is still incredibly powerful.

"Those damned Shichibukai!" Vice Admiral Momonga exclaimed, "Charge! Take them down!"

"Profound!!"

T-Bone and the others roared, and then charged towards Ivankov and his men together with Vice Admiral Momonga.

Seeing this, Ivankov immediately shouted, "Stop them! Buy the Straw Hat Boy some time!"

"Profound!!"

Jinbe roared and immediately charged toward the Vice Admiral in front of them.

As their own high-level combat force, they must stop the enemy's high-level combat force!

Soon, the two sides clashed and engaged in fierce combat.

"Death Wink!"

"Rankyaku!"

"Clang!"

A pale blue slash flew from the Vice Admiral's hand, directly shattering Ivankov's shockwave.

"One Sword Style: Rat Tail!"

The Haki slash mercilessly aimed for Jinbe's head!

Upon seeing this, Jinbe immediately enveloped his fist in Haki and then struck at Vice Admiral Momonga's sword.

"Fish-Man Karate - Five Thousand Brick Fist!"

"Clang!"

"Boom!!"

A terrifying shockwave shot out from beside the two, sending Luffy flying as he was running!

Upon seeing this, a hint of joy flashed in Vice Admiral Dalmesia's eyes, and he charged towards Luffy without hesitation!

"Shave!"

Activating the Six Forms, he appeared beside Luffy in the blink of an eye.

Then, the Vice Admiral, in his half-beast form, wrapped Armament Haki around his fingers and struck Luffy's shoulder!

"Finger Gun - Spotted Flash!"

"Puff!"

The sharp dog claws easily pierced through Luffy's shoulder!

"Ah!!"

Luffy screamed as his body was pierced through, and he was sent flying backward by the force of the blow, finally crashing heavily to the ground!

"Luffy..."

Upon seeing this, Garp's face contorted with rage, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

At that moment, he really wanted to rescue his grandson and take him away from there.

But he couldn't do that because... he was Navy Hero.

"Garp."

Sensing the change in Garp's aura, Sengoku calmly glanced at the seats below and said, "Get your stance clear."

He hoped that Garp would understand what to do now, otherwise... he would have no choice but to take matters into his own hands and deal with his old friend.

Upon hearing this, Garp paused for a moment, then closed his eyes with a grim expression.

Seeing that Garp made no other moves, Sengoku nodded and then turned his gaze to Luffy.

Meanwhile, Luffy, whom he was watching, was struggling to get up from the ground.

"Hateful!"

"Don't get in my way!"

Looking at Luffy, who was staring at him with a ferocious expression, Vice Admiral Dalmesia sneered and said, "Do you think we'll let you get close to the Execution platform so easily?"

"Don't be so naive, kid!"

"This is a battlefield!"

How could they possibly let this brat save the prisoner they were so determined to execute?!

"So what?!"

Clutching his shoulder, Luffy glared angrily at Vice Admiral Dalmesia and declared, "I will definitely rescue Ace!"

Upon hearing Luffy's words, Vice Admiral Dalmesia paused for a moment before saying, "It seems you haven't grasped reality yet!"

"In that case... let me personally send you on your way!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an intense killing intent flashed in Vice Admiral Dalmesia's eyes.

Then, the man jumped up and rushed towards Luffy.

"Go to hell, Straw Hat!"

Vice Admiral Dalmesia, who had wrapped his hands in Armament Haki, aimed at Luffy's head and punched him!

He was confident he could kill his opponent if he hit their head!

Feeling a deadly threat, Luffy instinctively tried to jump away to dodge the attack, but his opponent was faster than him!

'That kid's dead meat!'

Seeing the panic on Luffy's face, Vice Admiral Dalmesia's eyes flashed with a hint of joy.

Let him personally eliminate the bloodline of Dragon!

"Die!"

"Clang!"

"Varied...?!"

Upon seeing the man blocking his way, Vice Admiral Dalmesia's pupils contracted sharply.

'It's Bartholomew Kuma?!'

Seeing Bartholomew Kuma raise his arm to block his attack, Vice Admiral Dalmesia's heart sank to the bottom.

He knew he couldn't attack the Straw Hat anymore.

Just then, the bear launched its attack.

"Buzz~"

The hand, as big as a bear's paw, slammed directly onto Vice Admiral Dalmesia.

"Bang!"

Under the influence of the Devil Fruit's power, Vice Admiral Dalmesia was sent flying.

"Whoosh~"

"Boom!!"

Like a cannonball, Vice Admiral Dalmesia plunged directly into the ruins!

"Vice Admiral Dalmesia!"
