Whitebeard grinned maliciously, "Floating brat, the angle at which the blade strikes isn't comprehensive enough for defense."
"Just make sure it doesn't affect most of the navy!"
Kuro's body trembled slightly. The moment the blade struck, he activated his full Armament Haki, but the aftershocks still made his internal organs tremble.
"Go back here, you brat!"
Whitebeard gripped his sword tightly, slashing through Kuro's body and sending him flying.
Kuro was blown into the air, then suddenly stopped and landed back in front of the plaza, no longer making a move.
Because he heard the sound of the ice being pried open.
"Charge! Go save Ace!"
At this moment, some pirates had reached the bottom of the plaza and were preparing to climb up. However, just then, the shore suddenly rose up. Below the shore, which was made of solid stone, were iron walls that rose very high, forming a ring that completely surrounded the Whitebeard Pirates.
The encirclement barrier is activated!
The rear has also been surrounded by pacifists, leaving only one opening in front, which has not yet been closed.
"What is this encirclement wall?"
A captain took out a rocket launcher and fired it at the wall, but it only left a black mark; the iron wall remained completely undamaged.
Within the iron wall, a large number of heavy artillery pieces extended out.
"Damn it, we're surrounded! This iron wall is so thick!"
"Damn it, it's completely unbreakable!"
The pirates struggled against the iron wall, but it was all in vain.
"Hey, you Marine, aren't you surrounded too? Are you going to sacrifice yourself to wipe us out?!" a pirate yelled at Kuro.
"Damn it, have we run into a navy like this?!"
"No matter what, take him down first!"
The pirates shouted and clamored.
Whitebeard, however, kept his eyes fixed on the only gap in front of him, a gap that was blocked by Oars' massive body.
"Report! Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the area that Oz was blocking is temporarily unable to close due to a decrease in power caused by blood seeping into the system," a naval officer reported.
“It doesn’t fit... Oh well, that’s fine, Sakazuki,” Sengoku said.
Akainu stepped forward solemnly, his arms erupting with intense lava. He pointed at the sky and roared, "Meteor Volcano!"
Numerous giant magma fists shot into the sky from his arms and then fell back down, raining down destructive magma bullets like an erupting volcano.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As bullets rained down, the pirates were blown down one after another, and the ice began to melt. The pirates lost their footing and fell into the sea.
"It's hot! It's so hot!"
"This heat...it's awful!"
Boom boom boom!
The meteor magma bombs continued to bombard, their scattered yet dense numbers unlike Kuro's seawater; even if Whitebeard wanted to stop them, he couldn't stop them all.
Several magma projectiles fell from behind him, destroying the pirate ship frozen in the ice.
Whitebeard's flagship, the Moby Dick!
Ace stared wide-eyed at the execution platform as the Whitebeard Pirate Flag on the ship was destroyed. Just as he was about to struggle, he was restrained by soldiers with swords on both sides.
The destruction of the flag is a symbolic blow to both the navy and the pirates.
"This is the perfect opportunity! Launch an attack and annihilate the Whitebeard Pirates within the encirclement!"
Upon seeing that the pirates had lost their foothold, the naval commanders in the square quickly ordered the navy to fire the heavy cannons on the iron wall.
Those cannonballs were fatal to the pirates trapped in the sea.
Boom boom boom!
After the magma bombs came the artillery bombardment. The ice that hadn't melted away was also shattered by the intense bombardment. Now, apart from the area where the pacifists were in the rear, there was only a small patch of ice in front of where Kuro was standing.
It's not that nobody's there.
Tara Kaji, the captain of a subsidiary pirate crew of the Whitebeard Pirates, stepped onto this ice surface.
Because he ran fast, he was lucky enough to reach the ice spot before it collapsed.
"Damn it, at the very least, I must take down this navy guy!"
Tarakagi raised his knife and charged at Kuro.
boom!
Several shells exploded on the ice beneath Kuro's feet, shattering his last foothold into pieces.
Tarakaji lost his balance and fell into the sea.
"It's alright, that marine is a Devil Fruit user. Once he enters the sea, there's no saving him!"
Tarakaji fell into the sea, choked on the scalding water, and floated to the surface.
He's not a superhuman; he can swim, while that superhuman must be...
Tarakaji glanced over instinctively and saw that the ice that had disappeared had turned into seawater, and the navy officer who should have fallen into the water was floating on the surface with his feet, showing no intention of landing.
Kuro exhaled a puff of smoke and laughed at Tarakagi, "You're dumbfounded, aren't you? I can fly."
