Sengoku's roar drew everyone's attention!
At first, no one noticed. It was only after some of the stronger fighters pointed it out that everyone saw the tiny black dot slowly rising from Fish-Man Island.
Although the dot was so tiny before the enormous World Tree that many people could barely notice it, anyone who did notice it could no longer tear their eyes away.
"Fire Dragon Ye Mu..."
"It's Lord Ye Mu!!!"
"Wonderful! Lord Ye Mu has finally arrived!"
Shocked cries and cheers rang across the entire sea at that moment.
This surge of excitement completely crushed the morale of their enemy, the Marines.
Amid the waves of cheers, Ye Mu, the person everyone relied on in their hearts, slowly turned around and said softly,
"Leave this place to you!"
There were no unnecessary words, but the warriors of Rainbow Country became completely fired up.
"The time has finally come for us to show what we can do!"
"Defeat the Marines and destroy the World Government!!!"
"Everyone, charge!"
At that instant, all of Rainbow Country's warships began to move under the orders of their leader and captains. They had only one target: the Marines.
New World, G-1 Branch.
Garp gazed at the densely packed fleet of the approaching Thunder God Pirate Crew and, without turning his head, said to Borsalino beside him,
"Get ready, Borsalino. No matter what your true identity is, at least at this moment, fight honorably as a Marine!"
"Don't worry, old man. Even if you hadn't said anything, I would have done the same!"
Thus, yellow flashes and blue lightning intertwined in the sky, and the battle between Rainbow Country and the Marines began...
___________
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
Sengoku gazed at Rainbow Country's approaching fleet, its morale soaring, and his tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed.
