"Teach!!"

The furious roar echoed through the heavens like a thunderclap that shook the sky.

Then came the cracking air, followed by a terrifying shockwave that surged forward with such violence it seemed ready to crush a thousand meters of empty sky!

It was Whitebeard!

The instant Whitebeard saw Blackbeard standing beside Bullet, the fury in his heart was completely ignited.

The destruction of the Moby Dick only made him even more enraged.

"Zehahahaha, it's Pops. Long time no see."

Seeing the furious Whitebeard and Marco's group, Teach could not help revealing a hypocritical smile.

Facing the incoming shockwave, Bullet raised his right arm high, bent it, and drove out an elbow strike.

The muscles on his massive arm bulged like vicious giant pythons tangled together.

"Demon God Elbow Strike!"

Boom!!

Bullet's elbow strike actually formed an equally surging shockwave in the air before him!

The two berserk impacts, like raging dragons, collided explosively, kicking up a monstrous storm above the inner bay.

At the bow of the warship, Bullet remained unmoving, gazing down coldly as his eyes met Whitebeard's in midair.

"Whitebeard, even you have grown old. That shockwave no longer carries the might it had in the past."

On a massive floating iceberg below, Whitebeard held his bisento and stared back at him from afar.

"You've got quite a mouth on you, brat Bullet!"

"When I was fighting your captain back then, you were still drinking milk! Gurararara!"

"By the way, are you really going to protect Teach?"

"That bastard committed the greatest taboo of these seas—he killed a companion who had lived alongside him day and night."

Bullet glanced at Teach beside him.

Teach's body trembled, and he immediately said with a grin:

"Zehahaha, sorry, Pops. I'm a member of the Demon God Pirates now."

"Shut up! I have no son like you!"

Whitebeard's furious eyes were filled with undisguised killing intent toward Teach.

At that moment, Sengoku's equally angry voice carried over from the execution platform.

"Shiryu! What exactly is going on? What happened at Impel Down? Where is Magellan? Answer me!"

At the bow, Shiryu held his long sword in one hand and a cigar between his lips as he spoke calmly:

"I joined the Demon God Pirates. I am now a combatant under Lord Bullet."

"The Demon God Pirates?" Sengoku asked in confusion.

"Mururururu, the Demon God Pirates are the pirate crew founded by Lord Bullet. After this war, their name will resound throughout the entire world, Fleet Admiral Sengoku."

Devon said with a grin, hands on her hips.

Then, under everyone's shocked gazes, her body shifted and transformed into Magellan.

"Magellan's" voice turned sorrowful.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, this prison break was a failure of duty on my part as warden. I request to resign from my position as warden... Murururururu!"

On the execution platform, Sengoku nearly crushed the Transponder Snail in his hand.

"Bastard!!"

Garp's face was grave. "This is bad. Something huge happened at Impel Down. Judging by the number of pirates, I'm afraid every prisoner held in the Undersea Prison has been released!"

"The several hundred people standing behind Bullet are all prisoners who were held in the Infinite Hell!"

Sengoku clenched his fists until they crackled loudly.

"Not only that. Look at that ship."

Garp froze for a moment, then took a closer look and immediately noticed something unusual.

Sengoku sighed. "That's right. It is part of Impel Down prison. Bullet's Devil Fruit ability allows him to combine other objects and construct them into different forms."

"This ship is so enormous that it must have been cut from part of Impel Down."

As he said this, Sengoku scarcely dared imagine what Impel Down looked like now.

Taking a deep breath, Sengoku activated the amplified Transponder Snail again.

"The man standing at the bow is the Devil's Heir, Douglas Bullet!"

"He was once a member of the Roger Pirates!"

"More than twenty years ago, he stirred up countless bloody storms in the New World. His methods were cruel, his temperament violent, and he was also a great enemy of our justice!"

An uproar broke out!

"How can this be? Are all the members of the Roger Pirates this powerful? This is truly despairing!"

"The Demon God Pirates... what a terrifying name. Could Blackbeard, the three former Seven Warlords of the Sea, Shiryu of the Rain, and the others have all joined this pirate crew?"

"If that's true, then this is another superpower comparable to the Four Emperors!"

The naval commanders' expressions all turned extremely grim.

"Fuffuffuffu, even a monster like this has created his own force. The Demon God Pirates... I can already foresee an unprecedented storm rising in the New World!"

Doflamingo started laughing again.

"Doflamingo, how can you still laugh?" Moria only felt that this battlefield had become even more chaotic and dangerous.

Hancock frowned as she looked at Bullet and the others. "Has Impel Down fallen? What happened to Luffy?"

Whoosh!

Marco transformed both arms into wings of blue flame, flapped into the air before the warship, glared angrily at Teach, then looked toward Jinbe.

"Jinbe! You..."

Jinbe stepped forward. "Marco, I joined the Demon God Pirates."

Marco's body trembled. "Why?"

"Marco, Captain Bullet promised to form an alliance with Pops, fight the Navy together, and rescue Ace. Go tell Pops."

Jinbe's expression was somewhat complicated, but his gaze remained firm.

His chest was wrapped in layers of bandages, and his injuries were actually severe.

Yet he still insisted on coming to fight.

It was entirely to repay Whitebeard for protecting Fish-Man Island all these years.

Marco opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But in the end, he merely sighed, flapped his wings, flew before Whitebeard, and relayed Jinbe's words to him.

To his surprise, Whitebeard directly raised the bisento in his hand, spun it through the air several times, then slammed it heavily into the ice beneath his feet with a dull boom.

"Brat Bullet, an alliance is not impossible."

"But you must hand over Teach!"

"Otherwise, not only will we be unable to become allies, we will become enemies who will not rest until one side is dead!"

Atop the warship, Bullet bared his teeth. His eyes turned cold, and with one stomp, his towering body shot into the air!

"Old man, it seems you still haven't recognized the current situation!"

"Then let me beat some sense into you!"

"Whitebeard!"

As Bullet leaped down, the thousands of prisoners aboard the warship immediately erupted in earth-shaking cheers.

Like dumplings dropping into a pot, they poured off the deck and launched attacks at the pirates and Navy before them at the same time.

In an instant, the scene became utterly chaotic.

Sengoku gritted his teeth and roared, "What are you standing around for?! Kill the Whitebeard Pirates and those prisoners, all of them!"
