"Ye Chuanliu! You bastard!!"
With a grief-stricken roar, a figure wreathed in blue phoenix flames streaked across the sky like a meteor and rushed before Ye Chuan in an instant!
It was Marco the Phoenix, commander of the Whitebeard Pirates' First Division!
His usually somewhat languid face was now twisted with murderous intent!
He could neither accept nor understand how the man who had been helping them eliminate the traitor Teach a moment ago could turn around and deliver a fatal slash to Pops, who no longer had any strength to resist!
"I'll make you join Pops in death!!!"

"Great Eruption!!!"
Without warning, an enormous magma fist, even more violent than the one used against Ace earlier, hurtled viciously toward Ye Chuan from the other side!
The attacker was none other than Marine Headquarters Admiral Akainu Sakazuki!
On his face, as cold as an ancient iceberg, murderous intent now spread from the depths of his eyes!
"Ye Chuanliu! You lawless criminal!"
Akainu's voice sounded as though it came from hell:
"You openly provoked the World Government, defeated the Shichibukai, and gravely wounded a Marine Admiral!"
"Whatever side you're on, your very existence is the greatest threat to justice in this world!"
"Today, I, Sakazuki, will utterly eradicate you,
