Dragon floated in the air. Seeing that the Marines had been rescued by the black shadows, he felt completely at ease. Looking at the fireballs in the sky, he extended both hands.
The wind came. A violent gale howled across the Marineford battlefield, forming a massive sea tornado on the ocean surface that charged toward Akainu's 'Meteor Volcano'.
The tsunami stirred up by the tornado extinguished Akainu's magma. Seeing the approaching sea tornado, Aokiji had no choice but to act again, freezing the seawater contained within it.
This scene rendered the falling 'Meteor Volcano' completely ineffective; even the ice layer that had just shown signs of melting solidified once more.
Garp remarked with emotion, "Dragon, you've found a good group of partners."
Hearing this, Sengoku turned his head to look at Garp, the anger in his eyes nearly transforming into physical flames. "Garp, after this war is over, we're going to have a very long talk about your son and your grandchildren."
Hearing this, Garp quickly lowered his head. His heart was currently in a state of extreme conflict; he didn't know whether it was better to let others rescue Ace or to stay here and guard him.
Within his clenched fists, his Conqueror's Haki refused to coalesce. The only thing that gave him a sliver of comfort was that his granddaughter Hera's clones were constantly rescuing those Marines who could no longer fight.
Under the combined efforts of Mori, the 'Dwarf among Giants', and Little Oars Jr., the 'Giant among Giants', the rising iron wall was pushed aside by Mori's Push-Push Fruit. Now, the path to the Execution Platform had appeared.
At that moment, seeing his plan ruined, Sengoku had no choice but to play his final card. Countless Pacifistas, bearing the appearance of Kuma, appeared on the Marine defense line.
Ivankov looked at the numerous Kumas and exclaimed in shock, "This is impossible! How could Kuma allow them to research him?"
Then, even the original body, who possessed the Paw-Paw Fruit, opened his mouth and fired a laser toward the Okama King, Ivankov.
Watching Kuma's attack, Ivankov was shocked beyond belief. He hadn't expected Kuma to actually attack him, and as for that laser—just what on earth had happened?
Dragon said, "You only just got out. We'll talk about Kuma's situation later. For now, you just need to know that the Kuma you knew is no longer here. This Kuma is our enemy."
Hearing this, Ivankov no longer held back. He first used 'Emporio Face Growth Hormone' to make his face massive, then moved rapidly, leaving behind 'Face Afterimages' in the air.
Finally, he blinked and gave Kuma a 'Galaxy Wink'. The afterimages and the original body simultaneously released explosive shockwaves, sending Kuma flying.
In the midst of the chaotic battle, Reiju, who had just eaten the Doku Doku no Mi, relied on her wide-range attacks to turn her entire area into a poison pool. Ordinary pirates could only circle around that section.
Perona's body was placed in the rear base, guarded by Little Hera who was controlling the City of Devouring Time to transport the wounded. In her spirit form, she flew through the air, constantly dropping Ghost Bombs and Negative Ghosts.
Especially for those pirates who didn't immediately use Armament Haki to defend themselves, once hit by a Negative Ghost, they ignored the fact that they were in the middle of a battlefield and knelt on the ground: "How could I possibly survive on this battlefield?"
Nami turned into a bolt of lightning, weaving through the battlefield, constantly using her speed and abilities to kill pirates, occasionally rescuing Marines who had fallen into crisis.
Kizaru saw Nami's performance and said, "So that's the Rumble-Rumble Fruit? How scary. Hera, are you interested in having her take me as her master?"
In Nami, Kizaru seemed to see a shadow of his younger self. Moreover, both the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and his Glint-Glint Fruit were Logia fruits known for their speed.
Hera glanced at the leisurely Kizaru. "You can just tell her yourself. The battle has reached this point, and you still have the mind to consider this?"
Kizaru said, "The people who came here are all like monsters. I have to keep a close eye on those big shots on the other side."
When Hawkeye saw Whitebeard enter the battlefield, the fighting spirit in his heart could no longer be suppressed. He swung his blade and charged forward, wanting to exchange blows with Whitebeard.
A gust of yellow sand caught his black blade yoru. Sir Crocodile appeared before Hawkeye, blocking the strike he had aimed at Whitebeard.
Sir Crocodile's semi-elementalized body emerged. "He is my opponent. Whoever interferes in our fight, I shall make my enemy."
Doflamingo, who was entangled with Jinbe, said, "Don't be so selfish, Sir Crocodile. Are you going to join forces with Whitebeard and make the Marines your enemy?"
Sir Crocodile said, "I will not join forces with anyone."
The iron wall operation plan was broken by the combined efforts of the two giants. After Hera took the Marines away, the pirates landed directly onto the plaza.
Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit was activated from a distance, intending to shatter the Execution Platform where Ace was located.
Aokiji blocked Whitebeard's attack. Cold air crept up along Whitebeard's Murakumogiri, instantly turning Whitebeard into a block of ice.
Aokiji's ice could only stall Whitebeard for a moment. Relying on vibrations, he quickly broke free from the freezing and thrust his blade, coated with Haki, back toward Aokiji.
Aokiji elementalized just in time to avoid this fatal blow.
A diamond-hard body charged toward Aokiji, blocking his next attack.
On the other side, Rayleigh intercepted Kizaru, who wanted to rush over. With the Ama no Murakumo and Rayleigh's saber, they traded blows back and forth.
"As expected of the Pirate King's Right Hand. How scary. Stopping you here must be my limit."
Rayleigh still carried a hint of a smile as he attacked. "Cunning brat, you aren't using your full strength, are you?"
Kizaru's slightly lecherous-sounding voice rang out: "This is already my full strength. Otherwise, how could I block you?"
Rayleigh only said with a slight sense of helplessness, "This is really not satisfying enough."
On another side, Akainu set his sights on Whitebeard, who was sweeping through the plaza. His arms turned into magma as he charged forward, attempting to directly stop Whitebeard's offensive.
Whitebeard's Fifth Division Commander, 'Flower Sword' Vista, lunged forward but was intercepted by Kuina, who had been prepared for a long time. Having already manifested her spirit dress, she held the massive wado ichimonji and began to clash with Vista.
Vista felt the power coming from the blade and was secretly alarmed. The power erupting from Kuina's sword stood in stark contrast to her somewhat petite figure.
Vista even had the sensation of clashing with Big Mom in her youth; both women possessed the same monstrous strength.
Vista couldn't help but ask, "What ridiculous strength. Do you know who your mother is?"
Kuina shook her head. Vista couldn't help but complain: "Have you ever been to Cake Island? Maybe you can find your mother there."
He then focused on clashing with Kuina, whose head was now filled with question marks.
