Boom!!!
This punch landed squarely on Kizaru's face!
Golden light particles and blue-purple electric arcs exploded wildly!
Kizaru transformed into a golden meteor, flying backward ten times faster than he arrived!
He crashed violently into the fortress building of Marineford, piercing through a dozen walls, and finally became deeply embedded in a pile of rubble, his life unknown!
One punch!
Just one punch!
Admiral Kizaru, instantly defeated!
"Oh dear... Really..."
Aokiji Kuzan propped his forehead with his hand, letting out a long sigh filled with helplessness.
"You're getting more and more reckless, Garp-san."
He slowly raised his head, and his usually sleepy eyes held an unprecedented seriousness.
"This makes it very difficult for us juniors."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand.
Crack! Crack!
Bone-chilling cold spread wildly from him!
The entire execution platform's ground was instantly covered by a thick layer of solid ice!
"Ice Age!"
He didn't choose a single-target attack but directly launched a wide-area ability covering the entire field!
The terrifying cold, capable of completely freezing the sea, transformed into countless white ice dragons, coiling around Garp from all directions, aiming to freeze him into an eternal ice sculpture!
Facing this chilling coldness that could freeze everything.
Garp grinned, revealing a wild smile.
"BWAHAHAHA! Kuzan! That move is useless against me!"
The lightning armor on his body erupted with even more violent energy!
Zzzzzzz—!
The cold, capable of freezing volcanoes, was instantly evaporated by the violent lightning heat the moment it approached Garp's body!
Turning into a sky full of white mist!
"As expected..."
Aokiji looked at the white mist, a bitter smile on his face.
"After witnessing that power in the East Blue, I should have known..."
"Justice by fire and justice by ice... are both too extreme..."
He muttered to himself, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
Just then!
"Kuzan! What are you hesitating for!"
A roar of extreme anger, like a volcanic eruption, boomed!
Akainu Sakazuki!
This man, who had been silent from beginning to end, finally moved!
His entire skin had turned into hot, flowing magma!
The terrifying high temperature distorted the surrounding air!
On his face, there was no anger, no shock, only an extreme, pure killing intent to completely burn everything before him to ashes!
"Monkey D. Garp!"
He gritted his teeth, every word carrying the scorching heat of magma.
"You disgrace to the Marine!"
"You and your sinful bloodline! Today, both of you shall be completely eradicated here!"
"Great Eruption!"
Boom!!!
Akainu's right arm transformed into a gigantic magma fist filled with destructive aura!
Carrying a terrifying high temperature capable of instantly evaporating an island, it slammed fiercely towards Garp's back!
He intended to pierce through both Garp and Ace!
"Grandpa! Watch out!"
Ace, who had been in a daze, finally snapped out of it, letting out a heart-wrenching cry!
However.
Garp still didn't turn around.
He merely used his broad, mountain-like back to firmly shield Ace behind him.
He turned his head, looking at the rapidly approaching giant magma fist, the smile on his face growing even wilder!
"BWAHAHAHA!"
"Excellent, Sakazuki!"
"Let me show you!"
He suddenly raised his right fist, which, in addition to the violent blue-purple lightning, was also covered with an extremely deep, pitch-black layer of Armament Haki!
"This old man's justice!"
"Is the Fist of Love!!!"
Boom!!!
The lightning-wrapped, pitch-black iron fist and the magma fist capable of incinerating all things.
Under the gaze of the entire world.
On the execution platform.
Collided with a thunderous impact!
There was no earth-shattering explosion.
Only the terrifying energy, capable of distorting all things, wildly vented outwards when magma and lightning collided!
Centered on the point of impact, a black-red destructive shockwave violently erupted!
The entire execution platform, before this power, was as fragile as a biscuit!
It collapsed with a crash!
Countless rubble mixed with ice poured down onto the plaza below!
"Pfft!"
For the first time, Akainu Sakazuki's magma-transformed face showed a pained expression.
He flew backward, the magma on his arm significantly dimmed.
Garp, too, was pushed back dozens of meters by the recoil, the lightning at his feet flickering erratically.
As the Devil Fruit with the strongest attack power, even Garp, at this moment, suffered a slight disadvantage when clashing head-on with it.
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!"
"Did you see that! Even Akainu was repelled!"
"Garp-san is invincible!"
On the Moby Dick, cheers erupted like a mountain tsunami!
"My sons!"
The strongest man in the world, Whitebeard Newgate, seized this rare opportunity!
Of the Three Admirals, Kizaru was sidelined, Aokiji was tied up, and Akainu was repelled head-on!
Now was the best chance!
"Even the Marine Hero is clearing the way for us!"
Whitebeard raised Murakumogiri high, his booming voice overpowering all the noise on the battlefield!
"What reason do we have to stop!"
"All forces! Charge!"
"Target, the execution platform! Rescue Ace!"
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!"
The Whitebeard Pirates, long suppressed, at this moment transformed into a white tsunami capable of engulfing everything, launching a desperate charge towards the central plaza of Marineford!
Leading the charge were Marco the Phoenix and Diamond Jozu!
However.
Just as they were about to step onto the plaza.
A figure, like a ghost, silently appeared directly in front of them.
He didn't possess the wild lightning of "Pirate Garp."
Nor did he have the golden Buddha light of Sengoku.
He simply stood there, wearing that familiar white coat with the word "Justice" written on it.
Vice Admiral of Marineford.
Monkey D. Garp.
"Marine Garp"!
He blocked the path of all the Whitebeard Pirates.
Marco and Jozu's steps suddenly halted.
All the charging pirates paused.
They looked at this Garp in front of them, then looked at the Garp bathed in lightning in the distance, confronting Akainu.
Everyone's brains once again crashed.
"Hey, hey, hey... What's going on?"
"Another one?"
"Which one... is the real one?"
"Gurararara..."
Whitebeard looked at the figure blocking his sons' path, letting out a low laugh.
He stepped out from the giant whale ship!
Bang!
He landed heavily on the ice, shaking all of Marineford!
He walked step by step towards Marine Garp, his hawk-like eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Garp."
Whitebeard spoke, his voice deep.
"Even the other you has made a choice."
"Are you still going to stand in my way?"
Marine Garp looked up.
He looked at this sworn enemy, with whom he had fought his entire life.
Then he looked back at the "himself" high above, who was willing to oppose the entire world for his Grandson.
Finally, his gaze fell on the ruins of the collapsed execution platform, on Ace, bound by Sea Stone and with tear-streaked eyes.
A smile, understood by no one, a mixture of pain and relief, flashed across his wrinkled old face.
"BWAHAHAHA!"
He burst into laughter, his laughter filled with helplessness and resolve.
"I can't help it, Newgate."
He clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking like popping beans, and his sharp eyes refocused on Whitebeard.
"Behind this old man stand tens of thousands of Marine soldiers."
"On this old man's body is draped 'Justice'!"
"So..."
His smile grew wilder!
"You absolutely cannot pass this step!"
