The Whitebeard Pirates ' battle cries erupted instantly.
Marco transformed into Phoenix and soared into the sky, his blue flames illuminating half the heavens.
Jozu transformed into a diamond giant, charging forward through the mud, each step causing the ground to tremble.
Vista drew his twin swords, their blades gleaming, and followed Ace into the enemy ranks.
The Revolutionary Army also mobilized at the same time.
Long Yi took the lead, and the storm surged in his palm, sending sand and stones flying wherever he went.
The Revolutionary Army soldiers followed behind him, like a black dagger, slashing diagonally towards Garp.
Flames and storms simultaneously crashed into the remaining naval defenses.
Shouts of battle instantly swept across the entire Sabaody Archipelago.
······················
Just as the two sides entered the battle,
Roy had already led the main force of the allied forces into the ascending passage connecting the Red Line.
Several transport ships were stationed at the entrance of the passage, while the team of Devil Fruit User had already taken off and were on standby.
Kyros stood in the middle of the passage and immediately saluted when he saw Roy's fleet approaching.
"The passageway has been cleared, all gun emplacements and outposts have been removed, and no resistance was encountered."
"Um."
Roy nodded.
"Leave one Devil Fruit User as backup, while the rest of the fleet continues to ascend."
Kyros, you take the Float-Float Squad and follow behind the main fleet, awaiting my signal.
"Clear."
The fleet slowly ascended along the elevator.
Roy then unleashed his Telekinesis, leading the main ships of all sides to the forefront.
The higher you go, the thinner the air becomes, and the sea breeze blowing into the passage carries a biting chill.
But everyone waited quietly, with only the sound of ships cutting through the air and the occasional command.
Luffy lay sprawled on the bow of the Thousand Sunny, the knot of his Straw Hat fluttering wildly in the wind.
He looked up, watching the light at the top of the passage getting closer and closer.
"Wow, it's so high..." he muttered.
"Nonsense, this is the Red Line."
Nami stood beside him, her hand gripping the Clima-Tact, her knuckles slightly white.
Loki's giant ship followed closely on the flank of the main fleet. He stood at the bow, Iron Thunder on his shoulder, his golden vertical pupils staring at the end of the passage.
On the warship next to Kaido, Hassaikai stood on the deck, white breath coming out of his nostrils.
Shanks stood by the railing of the Red Fox, holding a flask and slowly sipping his liquor, his expression serene.
As the fleet continued to ascend, everyone held their breath.
The top of the Red Line unfolded before them, like a red ocean.
On the platform, which is dozens of miles wide, the World Government's defensive fortifications are layered upon layered, with gun emplacements, bunkers, trenches, barbed wire, and energy barriers densely packed together, stretching to the horizon.
Like a giant steel dragon lying across the top of the continent.
Behind those fortifications, a continuous line of black-clad soldiers stretched out.
The World Government's main Army force, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, is lined up in anticipation.
The armor and shield gleamed coldly in the twilight, and the Seastone pointed diagonally to the sky, stretching as far as the eye could see.
The central army flag fluttered high, Kong stood under it in full military uniform. Fujitora stood on the left flank, leaning on his cane, while Kizaru stood casually on the right flank with his hands in his pockets.
The three major combat forces firmly locked down the entire battlefield.
"Tsk."
Bullet stood on the railing of the Pluton No. 1, looking at the array of troops, and licked his lips.
There are so many people.
"Hey-hey!"
"That's perfect."
Kaido grinned, revealing a mouthful of fangs.
Roy stood at the bow of the ship, his black trench coat fluttering in the cold wind at high altitude.
His Telekinesis spread forward, scanning the entire battlefield.
The Army formation was tight, the artillery positions were rationally arranged, and the defensive fortifications were clearly layered.
Kong was indeed shrewd, managing the entire defense line flawlessly.
But what he needs to do today is to tear down this line of defense.
"Attack."
Roy spoke, his voice traveling through Telekinesis into the ears of every ship.
"The officers took the initiative, creating an opening for the following troops."
Roy turned around, his gaze sweeping over the figures on the deck behind him, who were already poised to attack.
Hawk Eyes, Red Count, Tesoro, Yamato, Enel, Yamato, Kaido, Loki, Shanks, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Savi, Charon, Pea, Crocodile, Kuma, Moria, Jesus Burgess, Bar Lucci...
Follow me, everyone.
" Kyros, you take the Float-Float Squad and follow behind. Once we open a breach, immediately lift the main fleet into the air and land."
Kyros nodded in acceptance.
"The rest of you remain in the fleet and act upon signal."
The moment Roy finished speaking, Kaido the first to roar to the sky, transforming into a giant blue dragon and soaring into the heavens.
Loki, carrying Iron Thunder, leaped into the air, his massive body shooting into the sky like a cannonball.
Luffy loudly, his rubber leg sprang up, and he transformed into a white shooting star.
Shanks vanished from the Red Voss in a flash, reappearing in mid-air.
Hawk Eyes, carrying Black Blade Yoru sky, his golden pupils gleaming with fierce fighting spirit.
Dozens of figures rose into the air from their respective ships, their various Haki and Devil Fruit abilities merging into one in mid-air.
Black and red Inazuma, blue dragon flames, white steam, golden thunderbolts, and green blade energy intertwined to form a dazzling meteor shower.
"Rush--!!!"
Roy took the lead, using his Telekinesis to propel his body straight towards the defensive line at the top of the Red Line.
Dozens of beams of light followed closely behind, like a sharp knife thrusting towards the Army position.
Kong saw this scene from under the commander's flag. His eyes narrowed, and he didn't hesitate at all.
"All lines—fire!"
Hundreds of thousands of cannons roared at the same time.
The muzzle flash illuminated half the sky, and shells rained down into the air like a storm.
Anti-aircraft guns fired tracer rounds that streaked across the sky, heavy artillery shells trailed long plumes of flame, and blue beams of energy cannons shot out in a crisscross pattern.
The entire sky was filled with artillery fire.
Fujitora raised his hand at the same time.
The Press-Press Fruit full power, pulling down meteorites from outside the atmosphere. Several huge fireballs, trailing long fiery tails, crashed into the Allied advance team.
Kizaru also moved, transforming into a flash of light and soaring into the sky. With a push of his hands, the light bullets of the Yasakani no Magatama rained down like a storm, covering the entire airspace.
An overwhelming attack, everywhere you look.
Roy charged ahead, arms outstretched.
With their Telekinesis Domain fully activated, a gigantic, transparent barrier spanning thousands of meters materialized out of thin air, blocking the path of the entire advance team.
The shells slammed into the barrier, the explosions creating a continuous burst of light.
The meteorite struck, sending fragments flying in all directions.
The light rained down on the barrier, each drop exploding into a golden firework.
The barrier remained completely still, blocking all attacks without letting in even a wisp of aftershock.
A collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the Army ranks.
The soldiers' hands, gripping their weapons, began to tremble.
