"Charge!"
"We can't lose to that bastard Roger!"
"Get moving!"
Roger, Rayleigh, Gaban, and the others charged onto the battlefield first.
Not to be outdone, Rocks, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Ochoku, Silver Axe, Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, and the other members of the Rocks Pirates rushed forward too!
Boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom, boom!
On one side stood the Five Elders and nine members of the Holy Knights.
Joining them were Sengoku, Garp, Zephyr, Tsuru, and the Navy's current Three Admirals: Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji.
The World Government's side had twenty-one people in total.
Not all twenty-one were Admiral Level fighters!
Of the nine Holy Knights, only three possessed Emperor-Admiral Level strength.
The remaining six were just below Emperor-Admiral Level; it took two of them working together to contend with one Admiral Level fighter.
Even so, the ability to deploy so many Admiral Level fighters at once showed just how deep the World Government's reserves ran!
Yet even against such an outrageous lineup, the pirates' forces were equally terrifying, no weaker than the World Government's!
They had the Roger Pirates' three leading figures—Roger, Rayleigh, and Gaban—as well as their former crewmate Bullet!
Then there were Rocks Pirates members Rocks, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, Silver Axe, Ochoku, Shakky, and many more.
With escaped powerhouses such as Red Count and Byrnndi World joining them, their total also approached seventeen Emperor-Admiral Level fighters!
Nearly every powerhouse in the world was gathered here!
Both sides immediately plunged into a deadly battle!
Clashes between Emperor-Admiral Level fighters erupted one after another. Terrifying shock waves and bursts of Conqueror's Haki Coating struck the surrounding waves like nuclear explosions.
Abilities, sword aura, Haki, hand-to-hand combat, kicking techniques, and more came in an endless, terrifying barrage!
The battle between dozens of Emperor-Admiral Level fighters was a hellish killing
