" Ace's younger brother..."
Whitebeard grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up, looked him over briefly, then shook his head and said...
clatter...
"Oh... even someone as wise as you has lost your composure, actually letting this kid be the striker. This isn't like you, Whitebeard..."
Admiral Kizaru walked over and, seeing Luffy Whitebeard seemed to take Luffy seriously, jokingly remarked.
Just as the Whitebeard was about to say something, a restless voice suddenly came from behind him, and a huge head suddenly appeared on the wall, shouting loudly.
"I saw Straw Hat Boy! Jinbe saw him! He's here..."
"Hmm... where is it?"
Jinbe's voice also came over, and then a blue fat guy and a big-faced Iva stood together and saw Luffy in Whitebeard's hand, their eyes showing a hint of concern.
"See? I told you it would turn out like this! You wouldn't listen to me at all, that's why you're in this mess, Straw Hat Boy!!"
Iva's words carried a hint of disappointment in her tone.
"It's Ivankov from the Revolutionary Army, and... Jinbe and the others..."
Both the pirates and the navy noticed the two, but they just stood there blankly without taking any action.
Swoosh...
Thump...
clatter...
The two exchanged a brief conversation before jumping down and rushing towards Luffy's side.
"Hmm... I'll leave this kid to you guys..."
Swoosh...
Whitebeard glanced at the two men, then at Luffy in his hands, before gently tossing Luffy into their arms. He instructed them to take good care of him, and then stood in front of the Marines, shielding Luffy's body.
"All he knows is how to show off, he's young and impetuous but also clumsy and reckless. I actually quite admire this lad..."
However, he has fulfilled his duties, so I'll handle the rest. You can rest there and get some rest...
After Whitebeard finished speaking, he swung his pheasant sword, the shockwave swirling around the blade as he slashed down at the Marines in front of him.
Swoosh...
"Oh no, he's about to use that same move again! Stop him..."
The Navy was terrified by Whitebeard's abilities, and panicked when they saw him about to use that terrifying technique again.
Bang...
Rumble...
As Whitebeard combined his abilities with his swordsmanship to unleash a powerful slash at the Marine in front of him, a large foot stomped down on the blade.
The magma collided with the shockwave, instantly unleashing a powerful shockwave that swept away most of the surrounding naval forces.
The heatwave and fluctuations did not stop there; they swept across the entire battlefield in an instant, and the temperature in the atmosphere rose sharply.
"Hmph, if you keep destroying things like this, this island will be gone..."
Akainu's face was grim as he stomped his right foot on the blade and said in a deep voice.
"Then why don't you keep watch and see..."
The Whitebeard chuckled, his arm muscles bulging as he pulled the pheasant sword back from under his feet.
" The Hell Hound..."
roar...
Faced with Whitebeard's provocation, Akainu directly showed his attitude with action, his right arm transforming into a magma beast that roared and slammed towards Whitebeard's chest.
" Air Quake!!"
Bang...
Crack crack... Boom!!
Whitebeard slammed his left arm into the atmosphere, instantly shattering it. The magma beast was blasted away before it could even reach them, and streams of magma fragments spewed out in all directions.
boom...
"Ah..."
A powerful shockwave erupted around the two, scattering the few remaining marines and pirates.
Swoosh...
"Kill them!!"
A navy officer wielding a sword slashed at a captain dressed in a kimono.
call out...
Bang... Clang!!
"Ah..."
The captain calmly dodged the sword, then decisively fired his gun. The bullet struck and broke the blade, and then another bullet pierced his body. The navy man screamed and fell to the ground.
Swoosh...
"Die, Hawk-Eye!!"
Meanwhile, on Shichibukai's Hawk-Eye, a pirate Extreme Speed out from the smoke and slashed at his neck with a sword, trying to kill Hawk-Eye by surprise.
Swoosh...
Tear...
Ah~
A flash of sword light, blood splattered, and the pirate screamed as he collapsed to the ground.
call out...
boom...
Ah~
Even though Kizaru was surrounded by many pirates, he remained calm, with one hand in his pocket and the other casually firing lasers at the crowd.
A flash of yellow light, followed by an explosion, and a large group of pirates were instantly wiped out.
call...
Clang!!
Suddenly, Kizaru's ears twitched as he heard a noise behind him, and his body reacted immediately.
Then a rope hammer, blackened with Armament Haki and seemingly alive, came crashing down, piercing his chest, but Kizaru dodged it first using his elemental transformation.
"Oh, it's another captain from Whitebeard's ship. He's really troublesome!"
Even the intervention of a powerful captain did not pose the slightest threat to him. A nonchalant tone rang out as the captain, hands in his pockets, teased him.
"Damn it... I won't let you get any closer to Pops..."
The captain gritted his teeth and became fully alert as he addressed Kizaru.
"Hehehe... Yes, that's it! Let's fight to the death! That way I'll have even more zombie subordinates! Charge! Scattered Bats..."
With a sinister grin, Moria unleashed a swarm of shadow bats from behind him, attacking the pirates on the battlefield.
Bang... Bang... Bang...
"Go! Pacifista..."
Sentomaru, leading his human weapons, also launched a pincer attack on the pirates from behind.
"Hmm, the Navy's attention is diverted by the battle on the battlefield. Now is the perfect opportunity. Just wait for me, Ace..."
Marco, who was not far from the Execution Platform, noticed that the attention of the surrounding Marines was drawn to Pops 'Whitebeard battle and they seemed to have overlooked Ace and his group. After muttering to himself, he quickly emitted a blue flame from his body and transformed into a Phoenix, flying towards the Execution Platform.
Huff... huff... huff...
This moment drew everyone's attention again. Marco transformed into a blue figure and moved at Extreme Speed. Apart from a few people who could react in time, no one could stop him.
"Um..."
At the same moment, Whitebeard, Rayleigh, Red, the Three Admirals, and numerous Vice Admiral and captains all focused their attention on him, wondering if he could succeed in rescuing Ace.
"Heh, this is too reckless. Do you really think those two are just for show?"
To this, Luo Chen could only respond with a chuckle to those dim-witted fools who thought they could successfully climb onto the Execution Platform to rescue Ace.
call out...
Sure enough, less than a second or two after he finished speaking, a strong figure suddenly appeared in front of Marco and swung a punch that slammed into his Phoenix head.
Bang!!
boom...
The pure strike, without even using Armament Haki, slammed into his head with tremendous force, sending him flying backward. His body crashed heavily to the ground with a whooshing sound.
The opposite side trembled, raising a layer of dust, and then a deep pit about four or five meters in diameter appeared in the center of the square.
Huff... Huff...
Marco, his face bearing heavy wounds, shook his wings, retracting the flames from his body and returning them to their original state.
"Hey, you were the one who wanted to do it, nobody forced you..."
Sengoku saw that Garp was about to make a move and knew about his inner struggle, so as the Fleet Admiral, he still had to say something.
"Stop arguing, this is my own decision..."
If you want to rescue Ace, be prepared to step over my dead body, you little brats!!
Garp walked to the position of the Three Admirals, sat down in Akainu's seat, clasped his hands behind his chest, and addressed everyone present with an imposing Haki.
"He's making his move! The legendary Marine, the Garp the Hero... even he's going to make a move?"
When Whitebeard's men saw someone in the Navy who was like their Pops standing guard against Ace's Execution Platform, they panicked.
