On Sabaody Archipelago at that moment, countless eyes were fixed on the live broadcast on the screen.

"That Red Nose really stole the show, a member of the Pirate King's crew... quite unexpected indeed," Eustass Kid said from the high platform. "What will the next battle be like? I'm getting more and more excited!"

"The Navy's conspiracies have been exposed so blatantly..." Killer, the killing machine Killer, sat cross-legged on the parapet. "I never imagined they would make such a basic mistake. It's nothing but a shock and a sigh..."

Eustass Kid said, "Faced with a world controlled by scum... what does this matter..."

"Looking back at this [war] from the ship, it certainly didn't disappoint me. That Red Nose is just as powerful as I saw him that day, his tone is comparable to the [Four Emperors]. No wonder, after all, his era is so ancient..." Apoo, on the rooftop of the ice cream shop, revealed his black and white teeth. "So, who is the winner of this [war]...?"

"Saying Whitebeard would betray his comrades is precisely because he wouldn't do such a thing that he became a living legend..." Capone Bege narrowed his eyes as he looked at the screen, then turned and left, rubbing his aching chest. "Red Nose... I'll get my revenge sooner or later. I'll let you have your fun for a while longer..."

Hawkins, who had been sitting silently in his chair, pulled out a tarot card. "[The Whitebeard Pirates '] survival rate... [Buggy the Clown's ] survival rate... and [The Navy's] victory rate..."

"Captain Jewelry Bonney..."

"Shut up!" Jewelry Bonney roared, her eyes glued to the battle on the screen. "Shut up!"

"Rayleigh, aren't you going to help?" Shakky, blowing a smoke ring through her thin cigarette.

"Stop teasing me, Shakky..." Rayleigh took a swig of his drink, wiping the wine stains from his mouth. "By the time I get there, this war will be over. But that kid Buggy knows Ace's identity, but he hasn't told me, probably because he's afraid I'll steal his thunder..."

Shakky said calmly, "Buggy just doesn't want to drag you into this, you old geezer. He's thinking of you, so you can't blame him..."

"Don't take it seriously, I was just kidding..." Rayleigh placed the bottle on a nearby stone stool, resting his arms on his knees as he sat cross-legged. "Just watch how this war unfolds..."

At Marineford, Whitebeard, who was stationed in the center, finally made his move, approaching the plaza under the cover of his pirate crew.

"Don't even think about getting through here!!"

The Giant Vice Admiral, over thirty meters tall, wielded a giant sword over ten meters long in both hands and swung it down at Whitebeard with all his might. Whitebeard, holding a naginata in one hand, swung the giant sword outward, causing the giant to stagger to the left, losing his balance.

"Don't get in my way!"

Whitebeard lowered his naginata, grabbed the air with both hands, and slashed downwards. Ten distinct claw marks instantly appeared in the air, and the ground began to tilt abruptly... no, the entire Marineford swayed like a lone boat on the sea, the outer waves surging and undulating like giant dragons, and countless warships in the wrong position instantly shattered!

"As expected of someone with the power to destroy the world... truly terrifying..." Even Buggy, having witnessed Whitebeard's power firsthand, couldn't help but feel a sense of shock. If Whitebeard were ten years younger, how terrifying would he have been...?

Whitebeard continued his advance with unstoppable momentum, throwing a punch out of thin air at the oncoming giant. The space around the punch shattered like smooth glass, creating countless cracks. With just one punch, the Giant Vice Admiral nearly lost consciousness, coughing up blood. The shockwave tore apart the plaza behind him, sending debris hurtling towards the Execution Platform!

Three Marine Admiral stood Execution Platform and simultaneously reached out to block the aftershocks, thus saving the Execution Platform from destruction.

Aokiji said, "Why hasn't your Encircling Wall been raised yet...?"

Akainu's face darkened. "It's all your fault for using ice..."

Kizaru stepped in to mediate. "Oh, why don't you just melt it... Sakazuki!"

"The fighting force has returned... Akainu, let's move! Smash that ice sculpture blocking the Encircling Wall, that way we can completely surround them..." Sengoku gave the order, "But first, melt the ice and take away their foothold!"

Akainu tilted his hat up slightly, and his arm transformed into molten lava, spewing outwards. "Meteor Volcano!"

Countless enormous lava fists rained down like a meteor shower, continuously melting the ice layer into a scalding sea of lava!

The road leading to the plaza gradually disappeared, returning to the seawater. The Encircling Wall rose to its highest point, encircling all the pirates in the sea!

Whitebeard tentatively clenched his fist and punched the iron wall surrounding it, but even under the force of the impact... the iron wall remained completely undamaged!

"The iron wall didn't break! Even my... Pops's abilities were completely useless against it!!"

"That's no ordinary iron!"

The pirates' hearts sank; the cannons on the Encircling Wall were already aimed at them, and they feared they would soon become sitting ducks!

Buggy glanced back at the Big Top, which was beginning to be coated in the distance. He saw a blue laser beam shooting from the deck, shattering the lava fist flying towards it. The Bicutup was unharmed, a stark contrast to the unguarded Moby Dick in the distance, which had been hit and was sinking.

After confirming that there was no obstacle behind him, he turned to look at the Encircling Wall that had not risen because of the frozen Little Oars Jr., and rushed over. He paused for a breath beside the latter, and then pressed his hands, which had gathered the power of the Chop-Chop, onto the ice layer that had frozen Little Oars Jr.!

In the blink of an eye, the entire outer layer of the ice sculpture shattered, and Little Oars Jr.' frozen body was finally able to move again. Not only was he not dead, but his belief in saving Ace kept him conscious!

Buggy took a couple of breaths and touched the iron wall again. Its structure was extremely complex, clearly not made of ordinary iron. However, just because Whitebeard couldn't break through this special material didn't mean he couldn't. It's just that the more intricate the structure of an object, the more energy it takes to split it. Moreover, splitting this alloy over a large area would deplete his stamina, making it difficult for him to contribute in the next battle. After quickly weighing the options, he naturally chose the most advantageous method.

In the time it took to adjust his breathing, his hands plunged into the smooth iron wall. When he pulled them out, a slightly wide, deep mark appeared on the iron wall. Like a rock climber, he kept leaping upwards, leaving many irregular dents on the iron wall. In just a moment, he leaped onto the plaza. Not only the navy on the plaza, but also the pirates Encircling Wall were incredulous.

"As expected of a member of the [Pirate King] crew, even the iron wall that the Pops couldn't break... he actually managed to leave marks on it! How did he do that?!"

"That guy went up... To go to such lengths to save Ace, he's a real man!"

"Waaah~~" The prisoners burst into tears as well. "Such a strong and loyal man, he's our idol! Captain Buggy, we'll follow you... Your goal is our goal!!"

"Red Nose brat, well done. We still have a chance..." Whitebeard thought to himself, watching Buggy's retreating figure. Then he said, "Oars, stay there. We need your power now. Jozu, bring out your trump card! Everyone prepare to charge into the plaza!!"

In the square.

"Don't even think about going any further... Buggy the Clown!" Vice Admiral Dalmatian of Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral transformed into Madara's half-beast form and stood in front of Buggy.

"All pirates deserve to die... Today you've done something so outrageous, no one can protect you!" Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral Onigumo sprouted six arms from behind, wielding six katana and pointing them at Buggy.

"I have a subordinate named Pell. You defeated him back in Santansidi, didn't you? Buggy the Clown, you must be quite strong!" Vice Admiral Doberman of the Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral frowned.

"Yes, the Santansidi incident must have been your doing. I really miscalculated..." Commander Jonathan of the Navy's G-8 branch said calmly, a hint of wisdom flashing in his eyes.

"You are surrounded... Surrender now." Vice Admiral Strawberry of the Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral said calmly.

"That's quite a high level of treatment..." Buggy smiled insincerely, looking at the five Vice Admiral and the countless naval officers behind them. He then glanced at Luffy, who had also jumped onto the plaza but was surrounded by Three Admirals. "Luckily, he's drawing attention... otherwise, it would have been dangerous."

Doberman scoffed, "Even on the verge of death, they're still grinning. Pirates are truly a bunch of hopeless lunatics!"

Dalmatian said, "This guy is dangerous. If we can't take him down here today, there will likely be more trouble in the future. I foresaw the seriousness of this situation long ago when we met on Crown Island... Buggy the Clown, you'd better bow down here today!"

Onigumo said, "The encirclement by five Vice Admiral is already equivalent to the treatment of Buster Call. Even if you die immediately, you should have no regrets!"

Jonathan said, "We are on the side of [justice], while you belong to the side of [evil]. This fact cannot be denied, and as a member of the [Pirate King's ] crew, you should be punished even more severely."

Strawberry said, "Don't overestimate yourself if you think you can face us all by yourself."

After the five finished speaking, they simultaneously drew their swords and attacked, intending to capture Buggy!

"Nothing could be more interesting than this. The equivalent of five Marine Vice Admiral's worth, huh..." Buggy chuckled to himself, then plunged his right hand into the ground, shattering it into countless specks of dust that seeped into the earth. "Explosive Touch Strike!!"

The soft, sticky soil or hard rocks underground instantly split into countless extremely tiny particles that collided with each other randomly, generating unprecedentedly powerful energy. All this energy gathered together, forming a white shockwave that was almost visible to the naked eye, spreading out in a semi-circle in all directions in an instant!

The semi-circular shockwave suddenly expanded to a radius of nearly 100 meters, and the five Marine Vice Admiral were coming head-on were pushed backward by the enormous force, while nearly a thousand naval soldiers behind them were also forced to retreat!

"An aura disproportionate to the power of your attack... Red Nose brat, you're quite amusing!"

At the same time, with Little Oars Jr..'s full effort in throwing them, all the Whitebeard Pirates' combatants, who were originally hidden in the sea by the coated black Moby Dick, were brought ashore. At this moment, Whitebeard was finally able to regain a little composure.

"It's not that simple..."

Buggy abruptly pulled his hand out of the ground, and instantly a crack nearly a meter wide appeared from the hole in Buggy hand, rapidly spreading towards the Execution Platform in the center. Excess energy underground caused the ground to undulate like dough, knocking countless marines to the ground!

The spreading crack was about to split the Execution Platform in two when Aokiji arrived instantly, stood in front of the crack, and pressed his hands, which emitted cold air, onto the ground. The ice in his hands shot out and froze along the crack in the ground like glue!

The five Vice Admiral who were sent flying backwards were not injured, but they looked quite embarrassed. Onigumo coldly said, "They've lost face big time..."

"That's not the main point..." Jonathan dusted himself off. "I didn't expect the Whitebeard Pirates to have broken through the Encircling Wall. Now, it's too late to join forces and take down Buggy the Clown."

"What follows is likely to be another fierce battle," Strawberry said.

"The battle ends today!" Doberman declared resolutely, drawing his sword and charging forward. "Annihilate them!"

Led by the winners, countless soldiers swarmed forward, and the pirates, not to be outdone, launched their own attacks, and another chaotic battle ensued!

"That was close! You almost destroyed the Execution Platform. You're such a worry, Buggy the Clown. If you continue to act with impunity, things will get really bad..."

Having dealt with the crack, Aokiji turned his attention to Buggy. Two ice spikes rapidly solidified beside him and shot towards him. "Ice Block. Partisan!"

"Chop-Chop. Cleansing Grip!"

Buggy made a grasping motion in the air, and the power of splitting swept outwards, shattering the Partisan by inch, breaking them into small pieces in the blink of an eye!

The training of Devil Fruit is not only reflected in the skillful use of them, but also in the consumption of physical strength. On the surface, the exchange of moves between the two sides appears to be evenly matched, but Buggy's stamina in blocking this attack is at least twice that of Aokiji. If he cannot cause damage to his opponent, the battle will drag on for a longer time, and the disadvantage will be greater.

"This is terrible." Aokiji muttered under his breath, then approached Buggy, his body enveloped in a chilling aura.

Bang!

Just as Aokiji was about to attack, a powerful impact shattered his entire body into pieces. Countless ice fragments scattered around him, emitting a chilling aura, slowly reformed into a human shape. Aokiji looked at the newcomer, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, "Diamond... Jozu."

Jozu shielded Buggy with one diamond-like arm. "Our goal is to save Ace. Your 'ability' should be more effective than mine in this war. You should go first..."
