"Gurarararara!"
Whitebeard also laughed, a hearty and uninhibited laugh!
"Good! Very good!"
He tightened his grip on Murakumogiri, his eyes filled with the appreciation and fighting spirit of meeting a worthy opponent!
"This is the Garp I know!"
"Then let me see!"
The Haki on Whitebeard erupted with a roar!
"Just how heavy is your justice!"
"My sons! Don't mind us!"
"Go around! Keep charging!"
"Oh!"
Marco and Jozu exchanged glances, immediately preparing to lead their teams to bypass from both sides.
"Fuffuffuffuffu!"
A sickly, maniacal laugh rang out.
Countless barely visible threads descended from the sky, blocking their path!
Donquixote Doflamingo spread his arms, like a deranged conductor.
"Want to pass? It's not that easy!"
His gaze locked onto the commander of the Third Division, "Diamond" Jozu.
"Come on! Let me see how hard the world's strongest physical defense truly is!"
"Hmph!"
Jozu snorted, his entire body instantly transforming into brilliant diamond, slamming into those threads!
Meanwhile, on the other side.
An extremely sharp slash silently cut through the air, heading straight for Marco's neck!
Blue flames surged around Marco, forming wings, and he easily dodged.
He looked not far away.
The World's Strongest Swordsman, "Hawkeye" Dracule Mihawk, slowly drew his black blade "Yoru" from his back.
His hawk-like eyes locked onto Marco.
"Phoenix... Your ability is quite interesting."
"Let me see, is your regeneration faster, or is my sword faster."
"My pleasure!"
A solemn expression also appeared on Marco's face.
The battlefield, at this moment, was completely divided!
The top-tier combatants each found their opponents!
The Pirate Emperor against the marine hero!
The World's Strongest Swordsman against the commander of the Whitebeard Pirates' First Division!
Heavenly Yaksha against Diamond Jozu!
And at the highest point.
Garp, bathed in lightning, stood alone, once again confronting Admiral Akainu and Admiral Aokiji!
The war entered its most brutal phase!
Just as the entire battlefield was split into several top-tier battlegrounds.
An invisible, yet soul-crushing will, descended with a roar!
Buzz—!
It wasn't a physical attack, yet it was more despair-inducing than any attack!
On the battlefield, countless Marine soldiers and pirates rolled their eyes, foamed at the mouth, and fainted in droves!
The charging commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates suddenly paused, feeling an invisible mountain pressing down on their hearts!
The Phoenix Marco, who was clashing with Hawkeye, experienced an extremely dangerous mid-air stagnation!
Doflamingo, who was wrestling with Jozu, had his sickly maniacal laugh completely freeze, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead!
Even Whitebeard and Marine Garp, who were engaged in their fated duel on the ice, simultaneously stopped their movements, sharply turning their gazes towards the source of that will!
Above the ruins of the execution platform.
Sengoku the Buddha!
He had already released his Great Buddha form, returning to his normal body, but at this moment, he was even more awe-inspiring than the towering golden giant Buddha!
A will that reigned supreme over the world.
Conqueror's Haki!
"Garp!"
Sengoku's roar echoed in everyone's minds!
He stared intently at the "Pirate Garp" bathed in lightning, his wise face now filled only with heartbreak and determination!
"I will never allow it!"
"For you to tarnish the justice that the Marine has upheld for centuries here!"
These words were impactful!
Every word contained the resolve of him as Fleet Admiral, bearing the weight of the entire world!
However.
His response was a wild, almost derisive sneer from Garp.
"Justice?"
Garp grinned, his smile full of mockery.
He didn't even turn around, just pointed his thumb at the stunned Ace behind him.
"Does true justice even exist in this world anymore!"
"Sengoku!"
"Besides, I've wanted to beat you up again for a long time!"
"You!"
Sengoku trembled with rage.
Just then.
A golden beam of light shot out from the ruins of the Marineford fortress in the distance, re-coalescing into Kizaru's form in mid-air.
He patted his tattered pinstriped suit, a look of exaggerated fear on his face.
"Oh my oh my oh my... So scary..."
"I almost got killed, you know."
He glanced down at Marine Garp, who was confronting Whitebeard, then at the lightning-bathed Garp, surrounded by Akainu and Aokiji, and finally his gaze fell on Sengoku.
He adjusted his sunglasses, his lewd face displaying an undisguised declaration of slacking off.
"That monster, I'll leave him to you monsters, Fleet Admiral."
"As for me..."
His gaze swept over the charging commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates below.
"I'll just go play with the Whitebeard Pirates for a while."
Before his words finished, he once again transformed into countless specks of light and vanished!
Sengoku paid no heed to this; his entire focus was locked onto "Pirate Garp"!
Akainu Sakazuki was covered in flowing, hot magma, his face terrifyingly grim.
Aokiji Kuzan's breath carried a chilling cold that could freeze everything.
The Fleet Admiral, and two Admirals.
The highest combat power of the Marine, at this moment, formed the most stable iron triangle, firmly trapping the lightning-bathed "traitor" in the center!
"Mr. Sengoku!"
Akainu roared, magma dripping from the corner of his mouth.
"No need to waste words with such a traitor!"
"Today! I will completely purify this disgrace to the Marine, along with his sinful bloodline, right here!"
"Good grief..."
Aokiji sighed helplessly, his lazy tone carrying a cold determination.
"Must it come to this, Mr. Garp."
"At this point, there's truly no turning back."
Three people.
Three auras representing the pinnacle of the Marine.
Magma, ice, and the will of Haoshoku, intertwined into an inescapable net, frantically pressing in on Garp in the center!
Facing a lineup strong enough to suffocate any powerful individual.
Garp's expression showed no hint of solemnity.
Only a kind of... pure, extreme madness and excitement belonging to a martial artist!
"BWAHAHAHAHAHA!"
He threw his head back and laughed wildly, his laughter shaking the clouds in the sky!
He glanced at the three people in front of him, his sharp eyes burning with fierce battle intent!
"Puhahahahaha! Excellent! This is perfect!"
He squeezed his lightning-wrapped fist, his knuckles cracking like popping beans, and electrical arcs danced wildly!
"Perfect!"
"It saves me the trouble of punching you all away one by one!"
He bared his teeth, his wild smile more like a complete madman than any villain on the battlefield!
"Come at me, all of you!"
