Whitebeard chuckled, his body suddenly lunging forward as he brandished his naginata, preparing to unleash another attack.

Bang!

A foot blocked his blade.

With his hands in his pockets, Akainu said to Whitebeard in a deep voice, "If you continue to act recklessly, this island won't be able to withstand it."

"Then you can keep watch, you little magma brat," Whitebeard laughed.

"Ace, wait for me!"

Marco, who had recovered most of his health, transformed into a phoenix and soared into the sky.

"Oh, Marco."

Kizaru exclaimed in surprise, then extended his finger and fired several laser beams at Marco. However, in Marco's phoenix form, Kizaru's lasers were of little use.

"The recovery ability is terrifying. Is that direction they're heading to rescue prisoners?" Kizaru said.

Just as Marco flew to the execution platform, Garp leaped up and delivered a powerful punch that sent him crashing to the ground.

"Garp!"

Sengoku exclaimed in surprise, "No one forced you to take action; you asked for it yourself."

"Enough with the nonsense, I am, after all, a member of the Navy."

Garp landed below the execution platform, sat in the central general's seat, and said in a deep voice, "If you want to pass through here, kill this old man first, you brats!"

"Even Mr. Garp has made a move?"

Kizaru appeared in front of Marco, extending a finger, "Then I can't let you pass any further."

On the execution platform, Zhan Guo surveyed the battle situation with a somewhat gloomy expression.

Akainu was facing Whitebeard.

Aokiji was held back by Jozu.

Kizaru blocked Marco.

Meanwhile, Kuro, who possessed the power to decide the outcome of the battle, was being blocked by that bastard Crocodile.

The situation is dire. The pirates are clearly in high spirits. Although they have a large number of marines, they cannot afford to lose too many here.

The longer the conflict drags on, the greater the losses to the navy will be if a battle breaks out.

He rolled up his sleeves and said in a deep voice, "It seems I have to make a move too."
