Sengoku was overjoyed: "Excellent work, Vegapunk! You actually succeeded in creating eight hundred Pacifista units! Good, good, good!"
He said the word "good" three times in succession, showing how happy his heart was. Previously Vegapunk said he could only provide five hundred units, but unexpectedly there were an additional three hundred units, which was a huge surprise for him.
It should be known that one Pacifista unit equaled one high-ranking officer level fighter (Rear Admiral/Vice Admiral). They didn't know pain; as long as they weren't totally destroyed, they would continue fighting. Within certain limits, quantity could cover the quality gap.
There were eight hundred Pacifistas, while how many high-level fighters were on the pirate side? The number of fighters at Marco's level, Three Calamities, or Three Sweet Commanders was very limited. Although reportedly some potential newcomers emerged, their current strength only reached ordinary officer level, which would be destroyed in one attack before Pacifistas.
"What are those things?!" Whitebeard and the others were shocked.
They stared at the suddenly appearing Pacifistas full of suspicion. Their instincts told them these creatures weren't simple.
"Hahahahaha, they finally came!" Akainu laughed loudly while exchanging attacks with Marco. He took time to glance at the eight hundred Pacifistas that had entered the battlefield. "Damn pirates! Your doomsday has arrived!"
Sengoku stood on the high stage, his large robe fluttering in the wind, making the Justice writing on his back very clear.
"ATTACK—!" he shouted with a sky-shaking voice while swinging his arm giving the attack command.
*SWOOSH!* *SWOOSH!* *SWOOSH!*
The mouths of Pacifistas on the battlefield began gathering light waves. Terrifying energy collected, targeting the densest points where pirates were fighting on the ice.
The next second, dazzling light beams shot out simultaneously, penetrating every locked target with precision. The Pacifistas' eyes were equipped with position targeting devices that could even capture objects moving at high speed.
Screams of pain echoed on the wide ice expanse. One by one pirates fell, which even shocked Marine soldiers fighting against them.
Explosion after explosion destroyed the ice layer, making ice crystal fragments fly. Pirates scattered like ants on a hot pan. The Pacifistas' energy beams had extraordinarily great destructive power; the exploding ice made the situation very terrifying in an instant.
Whitebeard, Roger, and the others were astounded. The attack power of these things was very high; they truly had high-ranking officer level strength! How could the Marines have eight hundred units of combat power at that level?!
However, there was no time to think long. Light waves at the Pacifistas' mouths gathered again, ready for the next barrage shot. Each attack would take lives; almost no ordinary pirates could withstand it. They were like death-reaping angels descending to earth, completely emotionless.
"Jack, destroy those damn things!" Kaido raged, pointing toward Jack.
Jack turned. The two scythes in his hands he swung forcefully, pushing back Kizaru who was attacking him. His eight-meter-tall body shot like a missile toward the Pacifistas.
His two older brothers, King and Queen, also moved with him. As main executives in the Beast Pirates whose positions were only below Kaido, their strength needed no doubt. Their excellence lay in massive destructive power. It wasn't wrong to say that wherever the three of them passed, no grass would grow within a hundred-mile radius.
"Don't you dare!" Doflamingo moved his fingers. Invisible strings ensnared the hands and feet of all three to stop their movement.
"Torikago (Birdcage)—"
From beneath the surrounding ice layer, straight strings suddenly shot to the sky, forming a giant cage that trapped all three inside and began shrinking rapidly. These strings had extraordinarily sharp cutting power; when shrinking, loud vibration sounds could be heard.
"Doflamingo, you're looking for death!" Jack's face looked very dark.
This man was previously a business partner, even an indirect subordinate of the Beast Pirates. Many Artificial Devil Fruit users on Kaido's ship came from Doflamingo. Now this man instead turned to side with the Marines, which made Kaido and Jack very angry.
"I'll slaughter traitors like you first!" Jack shouted furiously.
Both his scythes slashed together. The scythe blades hitting the birdcage strings instead sparked dazzling sparks; the strings didn't immediately break.
Doflamingo was actually somewhat horrified facing these three great executives, but because he had already chosen sides and stood fully on the Marines' side, he couldn't retreat anymore. He had to hold on with all his might.
"Don't show off small tricks like this before me!" King finally drew the long sword at his waist. The gleaming blade slashed together with Jack's scythe.
*CLANG!* *CLANG!* *CLANG!*
The seemingly indestructible birdcage strings finally broke and were sent flying under the Three Calamities' attack.
Doflamingo's face paled in shock; this was the first time he saw anyone able to break through his birdcage. He immediately chose to retreat quickly. He pulled strings in the clouds and fled into the distance. Facing the raging Three Calamities wasn't something he could handle alone.
Seeing Jack still wanting to pursue due to his anger, Queen held him back: "Destroy those things first!"
They realized these eight hundred Pacifistas were too great a threat to the pirate camp. If not destroyed, their side would soon be cornered; even low-level pirates could be completely slaughtered.
Whitebeard gritted his teeth in frustration: "This Sengoku really has no honor in fighting!"
On the other side, Marco also broke away from the main battlefield, avoiding Akainu's pursuit. He transformed into a giant blue phoenix fire bird and flew high into the sky, right above the Pacifistas. The flapping of his wings rained down countless blue flames below.
The Three Calamities also transformed simultaneously. Each of them was an Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruit user.
Jack transformed into a giant mammoth, raising his trunk and trumpeting loudly. Both his legs stomped, making the ice crack and earth shake.
King transformed into a Pteranodon, flying in circles in the sky while spewing fire. His strength was slightly above Marco's, and he was also a sword expert.
Queen was a modified human as well as a Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Model: Brachiosaurus user. He transformed into a giant Brachiosaurus with very high defense, recovery, and vitality. From his back emerged machine cannons that immediately fired at the Pacifistas.
Once the Three Calamities moved, their destructive power was truly extraordinary. Their tremendous attacks struck the eight hundred Pacifistas, instantly making dozens of Pacifista units directly disabled.
