Bonus Chapter Soon!!
The full force of the Whitebeard Pirates threw themselves into the battlefield.
Though the Navy held an absolute nurical advantage, the Whitebeard Pirates’ infiltration into Marineford Bay prevented the Marines from deploying their full strength effectively.
The terrifying clash between pirates and Marines was brutally displayed to the entire world.
Every slash aid for a vital point.
Every second, a pirate or a Marine fell.
Blood and screams filled the entire battlefield.
Shink!
The sound of a sword being drawn echoed.
"How rare," Sengoku comnted, watching Mihawk below draw his blade.
"What, are you going to fight now?" Doflamingo sneered.
"rely testing the gap between that man and us," Mihawk stated coolly. His black blade, Yoru, swung down.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A terrifying flying slash instantly materialized, its imnse power carving a fissure into the frozen sea.
"Hmph," Doflamingo snorted dismissively. ’What a pretentious bastard. Didn’t even infuse Haki into it—just a scary-looking slash.’
But Doflamingo only dared to think this. With his own strength, even Mihawk’s pure sword slash could likely pierce his Haki.
"IT’S COMING! THE WORLD’S STRONGEST SLASH!"
"GET OUT OF THE WAY!"
The slash reached Whitebeard’s position in the blink of an eye.
WHOOSH! BANG!
A figure suddenly appeared before the slash, blocking the terrifying attack with his own body!
"OHHHHHHHHHHH!!
With a mighty roar, the figure hurled the slash up into the sky!
"Third Division Commander. ’Diamond’ Jozu!" A Marine cried out, recognizing the man whose body had partially transford into crystal.
Clank.
Mihawk sheathed Yoru on his back.
"Can’t rely on this guy after all," Sengoku muttered, having seen the entire exchange clearly.
Jozu’s Sparkle-Sparkle Fruit was an excellent counter to slashes, but if Mihawk had infused the attack with strong Haki, he could have shattered Jozu’s Devil Fruit defense.
Yet Mihawk, despite his claim of ’Testing Whitebeard’s strength’, hadn’t even used Armant Haki, let alone Haōshoku Coating!
One slash, and he sheathed his sword. Not even pretending to try!
"Artillery units! Target the enemy ships and their reinforcents!" Sengoku took command.
"YES, SIR!"
BOOOOOOOOM!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A dense barrage from these large-caliber heavy cannons could wear down even a Marine HQ Vice Admiral to death, let alone these New World pirates. The 43 allied pirate ships that hadn’t breached the bay were instantly subjected to a fierce bombardnt.
"FRONT-LINE SOLDIERS! PREVENT THEM FROM REACHING THE PLAZA!" Sengoku’s voice thundered.
The public execution had to begin at the scheduled ti.
Only then could they display the Navy’s Absolute Justice, completely crushing the pirates’ morale! Their mission now was to hold out for these last two hours!
Once Fire Fist Ace was executed, everything would be over.
"YES, SIR!" The communications officer quickly relayed Sengoku’s orders, and countless troops began to advance.
But the ones who had infiltrated the execution plaza were all the Whitebeard Pirate Division Commanders. Their combat strength was far beyond what average Marines could handle.
The Whitebeard Pirates’ initial strategy was clearly to use the 43 New World crews to draw the Navy’s attention, while their elite forces ford a spearhead to break into the plaza, buying ti for their 50,000 troops to land.
Led by the Whitebeard Division Commanders, for a ti, the Navy suffered heavy casualties.
"My, my... As expected of the Whitebeard Pirates’ commanders. Each one is strong as a monster," Kizaru comnted, standing up and stretching his neck as he observed the brutal battle.
"To minimize losses... guess we have to go for the king—" Kizaru looked towards Whitebeard.
VMM! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
With a brilliant flash, Kizaru dissolved into countless particles of light.
VMM!
An incredibly bright light flashed above the Moby Dick, forcing many pirates to shield their eyes. Anyone without strong Haki couldn’t even look directly at the brilliant flash of the Glint-Glint Fruit.
Whitebeard stared directly into the blinding light.
WHOOSH!
Kizaru’s figure materialized.
"KIZARU’S HERE!" Cries of alarm erupted from the pirate ranks.
"Yasakani no Magatama——!!!" Kizaru waved his hands, and countless dazzling light bullets shot towards Whitebeard, filling the entire sky, blindingly bright!
"Oi, Oi... a bit too bright, isn’t it," Whitebeard comnted, not moving an inch. In this battle, his stamina was crucial, especially with his ailing body.
FWOOSH!
Accompanied by the sound of flapping wings, a trail of blue fla lit up the sky. A figure shot directly into Kizaru’s Yasakani no Magatama.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!
"Hm??" Kizaru looked at the figure that seed to dissipate amidst the countless light bullets, then began to regenerate.
"Hmph." Whitebeard smiled.
"The Admiral’s attack was blocked!"
"It’s blue flas!" The Marines cried out in shock.
"Blue flas... not sothing you see in nature," Kizaru comnted lazily.
"Can’t let you just attack our King right off the bat," Marco’s body regenerated from the blue flas.
"How scary~ the Whitebeard Pirates," Kizaru replied with his signature, infuriatingly lazy smile.
"Even rarer than a Logia... a Zoan, Mythical type," Kizaru observed, looking at Marco.
"Look! His wounds are healing in the blue flas!"
"Unbelievable! He took Admiral Kizaru’s attack and didn’t go down!"
"It must be that legendary ability! The attack was ineffective!"
Shouts of amazent rang out.
"It was plenty effective, hey," Marco grinned back at Kizaru.
"Don’t lie," Kizaru’s voice turned slightly lower.
"Hmph!" Marco grunted, blue flas engulfing his entire body as he transford into a strange bird wreathed in blue fire.
Bird-Bird Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Model: Phoenix—Zoan form.
"That’s the 1st Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates! The ability to be reborn from flas, no matter the attack—’MARCO THE PHOENIX’!" a Marine roared.
"Never seen a bird like that before—" Kizaru comnted casually, already gathering the power of Yasakani no Magatama again.
Countless light bullets struck Marco, but he didn’t even try to dodge, simply advancing through them, relying on his terrifying regenerative abilities.
WHOOSH!
Marco accelerated, instantly appearing above Kizaru.
His legs and body reford—Hybrid Form!
The Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Phoenix granted terrifying regenerative abilities—as long as he had stamina to activate his Devil Fruit, he could continuously heal his wounds. In exchange, the blue flas were mostly for show, offering little offensive enhancent.
"HAAAH!" Marco roared, his right leg, coated in Armant Haki, slamming down heavily.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!
But Kizaru blocked it with a single arm.
"Hmm~ This one was plenty effective too," Kizaru replied with his signature lazy grin, his tone even taking on a singsong quality.
"Don’t lie!" Marco, enraged at Kizaru mimicking him with such an infuriating tone and expression, poured all his strength and Haki into his kick.
WHOOSH!
Kizaru simply elentized, turning into a beam of light that was kicked away by Marco.
WHOOSH! BOOOOOOOOOOM!
The beam of light Kizaru transford into crashed into a building, causing a massive explosion.
"HE SENT ADMIRAL KIZARU FLYING??"
"THAT CAN’T BE REAL! ADMIRAL KIZARU!"
Several Rear Admirals stared incredulously at the flash of the explosion.
WHOOSH!
But the next mont, that flash reappeared before them, reforming into Kizaru’s figure, his hands casually in his pockets, not a speck of dust on his suit.
"Mah... looks like taking down the king won’t be that easy," Kizaru smiled, looking up at Marco in the sky.
"Hmph." Marco looked down at Kizaru from the sky, also smiling.
Up on the execution platform, Sengoku’s eye twitched.
’Kizaru, you bastard! You’re no better than Mihawk... No! EVEN WORSE! At least Mihawk didn’t destroy one of our defensive structures!!’
Was Kuma’s influence to bla??
Looking at Kuma, now a mindless automaton, Sengoku couldn’t bring himself to bla Kizaru. Seeing his friend in such a state, it wasn’t surprising Kizaru would act out a bit.
"Hey! Giant Squad! WATCH THE SKIES TOO!" Kizaru, after his one exchange, returned to having his hands in his pockets, calling out to the Marine Giant Vice Admirals behind him.
The Giant Squad roared and began to move.
"THE BIG GUYS ARE COMING!"
"Aim for their feet! Take them down!" The New World pirates, with their extensive battle experience, imdiately knew how to counter.
"ALL OF YOU, STAND DOWN!" Jozu roared. His right arm, now diamond, slamd into the frozen sea!
CRACK! CRACK!
A massive block of ice, as large as a teor, was torn from the frozen sea and hurled by Jozu towards the execution platform!
"Hmph." Akainu slowly rose.
GURGLE! GURGLE! BOOM!
His right fist instantly transford into boiling magma.
"GREAT ERUPTION——!!!"
Akainu roared, his magma fist expanding massively, completely lting the teor-sized ice block.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The massive magma fist instantly exploded, raining down countless magma bombs!
"IT’S VOLCANIC BOMBS! RUN!"
"CAN’T BLOCK IT!"
Amidst screams of agony, the pirates suffered heavy casualties.
"A ship was hit! Get out of here!" Screams and wails echoed.
Akainu smiled coldly.
This was the effect his Magma-Magma Fruit should have on the battlefield.
If not for Sky Sovereign Rowen’s sudden appearance with the Door-Door Fruit back then, he should have been the one dominating the battlefield!
WHOOSH!
A massive volcanic bomb hurtled towards Whitebeard.
"Hmph." Whitebeard raised Murakumogiri, infusing it with Haki, and pierced the volcanic bomb directly.
"Quite a flashy fire you’ve got there," Whitebeard comnted, his eyes cold.
The Magma-Magma Fruit, a troubleso ability... Its disaster potential was on par with his Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
"Hah!" Whitebeard exhaled a breath infused with Haki, directly extinguishing the volcanic bomb’s flas.
Haki overwhelming a Devil Fruit ability, leaving only powerless rock behind.
"Hm?" Akainu looked towards Whitebeard.
"Go light so birthday candles, magma brat," Whitebeard sneered at Akainu with a powerful grin.
"Hmph. Don’t like a lavish funeral? Whitebeard," Akainu retorted mockingly.
"GURARARARA! A brat who was defeated by a rookie pirate has so nerve to talk big!" Whitebeard, unlike his original story counterpart who didn’t engage in trash talk, now roared with laughter.
Akainu’s face instantly darkened.
That crushing defeat was Akainu’s eternal sha!
He only won because of so bizarre power surge—and unlike Aokiji’s true defeat after being outmaneuvered, that brat was also completely exhausted after his final attack.
He had been too preoccupied in the heat of battle to realize it then, only thinking it over after recovering his stamina and energy—If not for being completely exhausted, how could he have let Momonga evacuate him?
In Akainu’s view, that battle was at best a mutual knockout—yet the world now said that brat Rowen defeated him!
And now, Whitebeard was rubbing salt in the wound in front of everyone.
THIS WAS A WORLDWIDE BROADCAST!
TO BE HUMILIATED LIKE THIS BEFORE THE ENTIRE WORLD!
GURGLE! GURGLE!
Akainu couldn’t contain his rage any longer; half his body transford into terrifying magma.
Dignity was sothing Akainu valued imnsely.
Now, Whitebeard’s words had made him lose imnse dignity before the entire world.
UNFORGIVABLE!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The ice beneath Akainu’s feet lted instantly from the intense heat!
"SAKAZUKI!" Seeing the enraged Akainu charging towards Whitebeard, Sengoku’s forehead veins throbbed, and he cursed inwardly.
Sky Sovereign Rowen! Even though he’s not on this battlefield, he’s still influencing the situation—
—His plan included a counter for the Whitebeard Pirates who had infiltrated Marineford Bay. And to execute that plan, Akainu’s Magma-Magma Fruit ability was essential!
Akainu was a master of trash talk himself, often using it to anger enemies on the battlefield. But now he was the one being angered!
Whitebeard had found Akainu’s greatest sha—his battle with Rowen—to provoke him.
BASTARD!
Watching Akainu charge towards Whitebeard, Sengoku’s eye twitched uncontrollably.
The Warlords were just going through the motions. Not using their true abilities!
That bastard Kizaru, because of Kuma, was also slacking off, just putting on a show—and Aokiji, though not completely faking it, was still recovering stamina from his large-scale Ice Age and was affected by his inner conflict, limiting his effectiveness.
And Akainu, who should have been his strongest card, had now lost control because of Sky Sovereign Rowen!
"Think you can face our King?? Akainu!" The Division Commanders roared, seeing Akainu charge, and imdiately sward to intercept him.
"GET OUT OF THE WAY! WHITEBEARD PIRATES!" Akainu was truly enraged now, unleashing the full power of his Magma-Magma Fruit!
His terrifying strength instantly overwheld the Whitebeard Pirate Division Commanders.
Their Haki couldn’t withstand the terrifying attacks of the Magma-Magma Fruit! Fortunately, by grouping together, they weren’t instantly killed by Akainu’s attacks.
"ADMIRAL AKAINU!" Seeing Akainu’s ferocity, the Marines roared with renewed vigor.
"Magma brat," Whitebeard’s smile vanished, seeing Akainu charging towards him, completely disregarding his stamina and Haki consumption.
After removing his dical equipnt, the deterioration of his body was worse than he expected. He was still trying to accumulate stamina and Haki, but it seed he had to act now...
His sons, even with Marco included, couldn’t stop Akainu’s assault...
"Hm??" Just as Whitebeard was about to move, his eyes narrowed sharply!
WHOOSH!
An Air Door materialized out of thin air beside the Division Commanders, who were struggling desperately against Akainu and beginning to show signs of defeat!
"Th-This ability is—!" Sengoku’s pupils constricted.
Akainu’s fist was now just a hair’s breadth from the 12th Division Commander, Haruta! Haruta had even closed his eyes in despair!
The next mont—
CRACKLE! BOOM!
Violent crimson-black lightning flashed across the battlefield!
A not-so-large right fist blocked Akainu’s attack!
"ACE! I’M HERE TO SAVE YOU!" Luffy roared.
"Haōshoku Coating???"
