Luo Chen's Mockery Darkened Akainu's Face

The battle grew increasingly intense.

"Everyone, move aside." As the Third Division Commander, Diamond Jozu, charged forward, he told his comrades to clear the way.

The Pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates immediately scattered in every direction.

Diamond Jozu slammed a fist into the ice, and his violent strength sent enormous circular cracks spreading through it.

The Marine soldiers were all deeply shocked by Diamond Jozu's power.

"Such terrifying arm strength!!"

Diamond Jozu forcibly lifted an enormous expanse of ice, once again astonishing the Marine soldiers with his terrifying strength.

Veins bulged across Diamond Jozu's body as he held up a slab of ice even larger than the Moby Dick and roared, "Marines, if you've got the guts, try blocking this!"

Diamond Jozu hurled the ice at the Marines.

Staring at the massive block of ice flying toward them, the Marine soldiers said in despair, "It's too big! There's no way to stop it!!"

Even the giant Vice Admirals wore grave expressions.

Akainu, seated in one of the three Admiral chairs beneath the execution platform, stood and took two steps forward. "Those two who abandoned their posts—if we all go on the offensive, then who will guard this place?"

As Akainu spoke, his right hand transformed into a magma fist.

Great Eruption.

A magma fist comparable in size to the enormous block of ice slammed into it. The instant the two collided—

The entire massive block of ice was vaporized by Akainu's magma fist!!

Diamond Jozu stared wide-eyed as his attack was broken so easily.

Now it was the Pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates who were shocked.

"That enormous block of ice was vaporized in an instant??"

Before their eyes, the magma fist exploded, turning into countless magma projectiles that flew toward the pirates.

"This is bad, they're magma projectiles! Run!" The Pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates hurriedly searched for open areas where they could evade them.

The Straw Hat Pirates, who were fighting Gecko Moria, all looked worriedly toward the Thousand Sunny.

After all, if the Thousand Sunny got hit, they would be in serious trouble. It was the dream ship of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Nami asked anxiously, "What do we do, Luffy? If our Thousand Sunny gets hit, then...?"

"Leave it to me! I'll use Coup de Vent to alter the magma projectiles' trajectories, then I'll guard the ship. Leave the fighting to you guys." Franky stepped forward.

"No problem, Franky. The Thousand Sunny is in your hands. Besides, Gecko Moria is almost defeated anyway." Luffy had great confidence in Franky and believed he could protect the Thousand Sunny.

Meanwhile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Gecko Moria, had already been beaten back step by step by them.

As magma projectiles continued raining down, many Pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates were struck, suffering considerable casualties. Even the Marines were inevitably caught in the blast.

One magma projectile had its direction barely changed by Franky using Coup de Vent, narrowly preventing it from striking the Thousand Sunny.

On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard watched a magma projectile fly straight toward him. He raised the supreme grade sword Murakumogiri, pierced the magma projectile, and blew it out in a single breath.

Whitebeard smiled at Akainu and mocked, "Magma brat, go light some birthday candles! How dare you start fires so recklessly?"

"Heh heh! Don't like extravagant funerals, Whitebeard?" Akainu remained unmoved by Whitebeard's mockery and mocked him right back.

Luo Chen unusually took out a cigarette and lit it. His voice carried Haki as he said, "Too bad there isn't any magma to light my cigarette with. Otherwise, it would've been perfect."

"Gurararara~~" Whitebeard laughed heartily. "Luo Chen, boy, you're exactly to my taste."

Akainu's face darkened completely when he heard that.

The Pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates seized the moment while the Marines were stunned and launched an attack.

They all roared, "Seize the chance! Wipe out the Marines and rescue Ace!"

"Fufufufu~~" Donquixote Doflamingo stood with his hands in his pockets and laughed leisurely. "This is getting interesting. Justice will prevail on this battlefield? Of course it will. Only the victors deserve to possess justice."

"Only the victors deserve justice? Don't joke around, Donquixote Doflamingo." Momonga strongly disagreed with Doflamingo's words. By Doflamingo's logic, if the pirates won, would that mean the pirates became justice?

After speaking, Momonga looked toward the battlefield where Onigumo was fighting. The battle there had become extremely fierce, but Onigumo was growing more and more disadvantaged.

Shiryu of the Rain carved another wound into Onigumo's body. Fortunately, Onigumo's body was tough enough, or he would have fallen long ago.

Shiryu of the Rain relentlessly pressed Onigumo, saying, "Onigumo, is this all the strength you have??"

In truth, Shiryu of the Rain also had two wounds inflicted by Onigumo, but Onigumo had even more wounds than he did. Including the fresh wound, he had a total of nine.

"Damn it, Shiryu of the Rain, you traitor! You joined the Pirates of the culprit who kidnapped the Celestial Dragons. Your future is destined for destruction." Onigumo still fought back fiercely.

Suddenly, Shiryu of the Rain caught another opening.

A blade flashed, adding another wound to Onigumo.

"Onigumo, I've won." Just as Shiryu of the Rain was about to finish Onigumo for good, someone blocked his attack.

Clang!!

Shiryu of the Rain looked at the person who had stopped him. "It's you, Momonga."

"Shiryu of the Rain, the Marines won't let you act so arrogantly." Momonga said.

Shiryu of the Rain pulled back.

Momonga also came to Onigumo's side and asked with concern, "Onigumo, are you all right? Can you still fight??"

"No problem. I was careless just now. Shiryu of the Rain isn't easy to deal with. Let's take him on together!!" Onigumo replied as he wiped the blood from his wounds.

"That was my plan too." Even without Onigumo saying so, Momonga had intended to do just that.
