The full force of the Whitebeard Pirates threw themselves into the battlefield.

Though the Navy held an absolute numerical 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 aimed 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 commented, watching Mihawk below draw his blade.

"What, are you going to fight now?" Doflamingo sneered.

"Merely 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 immense 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 transformed 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 Armament 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 reinforcements!" 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 bombardment.

"FRONT-LINE SOLDIERS! PREVENT THEM FROM REACHING THE PLAZA!" Sengoku’s voice thundered.

The public execution had to begin at the scheduled time.

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 formed a spearhead to break into the plaza, buying time for their 50,000 troops to land.

Led by the Whitebeard Division Commanders, for a time, the Navy suffered heavy casualties.

<><><><><><><><>

"My, my... As expected of the Whitebeard Pirates’ commanders. Each one is strong as a monster," Kizaru commented, 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 commented, 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 flame lit up the sky. A figure shot directly into Kizaru’s Yasakani no Magatama.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

"Hm??" Kizaru looked at the figure that seemed to dissipate amidst the countless light bullets, then began to regenerate.

"Hmph." Whitebeard smiled.

"The Admiral’s attack was blocked!"

"It’s blue flames!" The Marines cried out in shock.

"Blue flames... not something you see in nature," Kizaru commented lazily.

"Can’t let you just attack our King right off the bat," Marco’s body regenerated from the blue flames.

"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 flames!"

"Unbelievable! He took Admiral Kizaru’s attack and didn’t go down!"

"It must be that legendary ability! The attack was ineffective!"

Shouts of amazement 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 flames engulfing his entire body as he transformed 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 flames, no matter the attack—’MARCO THE PHOENIX’!" a Marine roared.

"Never seen a bird like that before—" Kizaru commented 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 reformed—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 flames were mostly for show, offering little offensive enhancement.

"HAAAH!" Marco roared, his right leg, coated in Armament 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 elementized, turning into a beam of light that was kicked away by Marco.

WHOOSH! BOOOOOOOOOOM!

The beam of light Kizaru transformed into crashed into a building, causing a massive explosion.

"HE SENT ADMIRAL KIZARU FLYING??"

WHOOSH!

<><><><><><><><>

CRACK! CRACK!

GURGLE! GURGLE! BOOM!

"GREAT ERUPTION——!!!"

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

<><><><><><><><>

WHOOSH!
