Chapter 728: The Final Battle of Marinford (Part 1)
[Chapter Serialization·Darkness Attacks 6·"If I follow you, can I kill that guy?"] [The prisoners on the sixth floor are as skinny as if they haven't eaten for a hundred years, which makes Blackbeard extremely disappointed, but then he thinks that they are just not full, and they will recover after eating. Hahahaha... He was announcing his great plan to the listless prisoners with a smile, and suddenly heard a cold voice coming from the open cell next to him. The haggard-looking Xilu of Rain threw the demon sword aside and asked Blackbeard coldly.]——
"Kuzan!"
Before Kizaru flew high into the sky to ask for help, Aokiji decisively slapped the ground with his big hands filled with cold air the moment he saw Lynch throw all the marines present out of Marinford and into the sea.
Frozen Fruit Awakening!
Endless chill followed Aokiji's palm and instantly swept across the Marinford Square that had been emptied by Lynch, as well as the coastline around the Marinford town that had already been dispersed and vacated... Under the power of the awakened devil fruit, the terrain turned into a crystal ice field in the blink of an eye.
The cold air rose, and the ground became as cold as a mirror. The few people who remained there couldn't help but shiver.
Frozen to the bone!
"What is that?" Nami suddenly looked around with a look of shock on her face.
Zoro, Sanji and others looked and saw giant arms made of ice emerging from all corners on the ice ground around Marinford Island, wrapped in white cold air, and the frozen hands pressed towards the surging sea.
Click, click, click…
Awakening Ice Age!
The sea area within a radius of hundreds of miles of Marinford was completely frozen in an instant.
Thousands of golden lights connected in series in the sky, catching one marine after another from high altitude, and placing them on the ice surface of hundreds of miles in radius created by Kuzan, and then immediately turned into light and disappeared, rescuing one after another. In just a few seconds, the surrounding circle of ice was "refreshed" with densely packed navy soldiers almost in patches... The endless ice surface reflected the golden light and shadows constantly flying in the sky.
Everyone knows that it is Admiral Kizaru, and only he can perform such a miracle.
"We survived..."
Hina panted and knelt on the ice. In the blink of an eye, Marinford was already thousands of meters ahead, and they - especially those with special abilities like Hina - also experienced a thrilling life-and-death crisis.
"Thanks to Admiral Aokiji and Admiral Kizaru..."
The densely packed marines were so cold that they were breathing white air and their faces turned blue.
Everyone rubbed their arms, feeling terrified, "What kind of force threw us out..."
…
From Usopp rescuing Ace, to Kizaru and Akainu besieging Whitebeard, to Lynch decisively using the power of the awakened Magnet-Magnet Fruit to instantly clear the field and temporarily restrain Kizaru and Aokiji...
Everything happened in just a dozen seconds.
On the other side, Kizaru helplessly turned into light and disappeared, while Whitebeard's punch containing the force of an earthquake collided with Akainu's final desperate attack of fire, with a loud bang!
Akainu immediately gritted his teeth, blood flowed out from between his teeth, and finally he couldn't help but spit it out.
The magma was flying all over the sky...
In Marinford, which had turned into an ice field, balls of molten lava fell like raindrops, melting into ice holes that emitted thick hot steam.
The other arm, accompanied by molten lava, was also thrown high into the air...
Sakaski!
Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, Aokiji, and even Kizaru who was busy with the rescue, no matter how they got along with Akainu or what conflicts they had, they couldn't help but feel depressed when they saw this scene.
As the remaining marines around Marinford watched in shock, Admiral Akainu was knocked back by Whitebeard, leaving a trail of blood in the air... and finally fell heavily onto the ice. As a lava man, his body temperature was extremely high, and he melted through the ice before he even got close to it, and sank directly into the sea.
“Dad!!!”
Above the ice, the panicked shouts of Marco and others echoed.
Whitebeard stood upright in place, breathing heavily, and turned into balls of frost in the cold air.
Half of his body was burned by Akainu's all-out molten lava attack, and it was now charred to a crisp, with even half of his arm missing, leaving only the gray palm and arm bones.
“Run!!!”
Usopp had made a large vine bed at some point and was dragging Luffy, Ace and the others along the ice ground with very little friction.
“Hoo…Hoo…”
Whitebeard's vision was blurred. He looked at Usopp and his companions who were dragging Ace and the others. Young lives...
He saw a frost giant emerging from the ice behind Luffy and the others.
A big hand pressed towards Ace and others on the vine-draped bed, "Don't even think about escaping!" Aokiji shouted coldly, and the Frost Giant's big hand pressed towards Usopp and others from behind.
Cavendish stepped on the vine bed that was sliding on the ice and swung his sword at the frost giant, but no matter how fast the white horse's sword was, it was unable to dispel the bone-chilling cold that was coming.
It is indeed difficult for the navy to deal with pirates at the level of the Four Emperors...
Because if they are not careful, their headquarters will be left empty and attract the attention of other pirates...
So, they didn't care about the cost this time and lured us to fight... How could they be willing to let Ace and I get away? Behind Whitebeard, a golden sun was hanging high in the sky. In the extreme light, although Kizaru still had that nonchalant look, the laser light condensed in his hands was incomparably sharp and powerful.
Huh…Huh…
Whitebeard could hear his own panting.
Plop, plop…
The sound of your own heartbeat.
He clenched his bony palms, and the halo of earthquake power enveloped his fists. In other words... As long as I stay here, Ace can be saved...
"I am Whitebeard!!"
Edward Newgate punched the air behind him with his fist made of bones. Boom!
The air cracked, and a shocking shock wave swept towards Kizaru. Kizaru was pointing the laser at Ace, who was dragged by the straw hat and running on the ice. The unstoppable shock wave directly shattered him into a sky full of golden light mixed with blood.
Bang! The frost giant cracked in the middle, and a dark armor chased from behind and kicked Aokiji's ice giant into pieces.
"Run!" Usopp yelled and ran away.
Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Brook, Franky, and Chopper, who were being dragged on the vine bed, all saw the almost completely solidified black armor through the scattered ice. The rich blue-black body of the mecha seemed to be constructed entirely of the power of that special domineering aura and life energy. Looking back in mid-air with narrow eyes, Merry murmured: "Brother Hei, you look like a god..."
One after another, Frost Giants emerged on the ice. The "BIB" mecha instantly disintegrated and turned into parts, like fists wrapped in domineering color, smashing the Frost Giants chasing the Straw Hat.
The thick ice-blue cold air returned to the ice ground, and the giant Aokiji silhouette holding his pockets said coldly: "It's useless. In this field, the fire fist can't escape my ice--"
Before he could finish his words, the entire ice field and the entire island of Marinford began to tilt.
On the ice ground with very little friction, everyone slid quickly towards the seaside amid Usopp's exclamation.
Ace opened his eyes with difficulty and looked at Whitebeard, whose arms had turned to white bones but was still creating opportunities for him to escape...
Boom boom...
Under the earth-shaking force of Whitebeard's earthquake, the entire area around Marinford was cracked, and the ice land within a radius of hundreds of miles was directly cut off from Marinford and separated.
"Sons, you go first..."
Whitebeard turned around and grinned, and shook his intact fist into the air, and Joz, Marco, Izo, Jinpei and others who were rushing towards him were all blown away without any injury.
The vine bed on which Luffy, Usopp, and Ace, who were rescued by the Straw Hat Pirates, were also lifted up, crossing the boundary of the ice that was broken apart by Whitebeard, and falling onto the outer layer of the frozen sea filled with tens of thousands of marines rescued by Kizaru... Ace was filled with grief and shouted, "Dad!"
"Will it be so easy for Fire Fist to escape?"
The smooth ice surface suddenly warped, and two huge ice men that looked like Aokiji emerged, grabbing Ace who was among the people who were blown away by Whitebeard in mid-air.
"I just don't have the strength anymore..." Cavendish murmured, looking up.
The sky flashed with golden light again, and Kizaru's laser was aimed at Ace. Luffy's domineering aura was used up, and his strength was exhausted. Looking around, he saw that his companions were covered in wounds and could hardly fight anymore. Ace had been holding on for a long time. Facing the attack from Aokiji and Kizaru, he was completely powerless... At this time, a horrible vibration came, and the frost giant and laser beams that attacked him and others were all shattered by the shock.
"ah!!!"
Whitebeard's attack was without regard for cost. He shook the air with all his might, not only interrupting Aokiji and Kizaru's offensive, but also blowing away a large number of marines on the frozen sea behind him. The extremely terrifying force of the earthquake swept across, shaking the frozen sea surface for hundreds of miles, creating an ice canyon. The vibrations rolled away, and huge waves were raised in the sea in the distance, rolling continuously, rumbling, rumbling, and hitting the red earth continent again and again, washing away the traces of time, and the ancient and vicissitudes of the mountain walls made a trembling sound.
"Come on, if you want to kill me, just come and try."
Whitebeard retracted his fist, his eyes were full of wrinkles, but his eyes showed a domineering look of looking down on the world. He smiled and looked around at Aokiji, Kizaru, and Sengoku and Garp who were already beaten to pieces in the depths of Marinford.
He chuckled, holding his breath, and said in a trembling voice, "If you don't attack together, aren't you afraid that Sengoku and Garp will be killed by me?!"
"Newgate!"
Rayleigh shouted at Whitebeard's back on the frozen sea.
"Gulala, you've already retired, so just retire honestly..." Without looking back, Whitebeard said in a deep voice after a long while, "Rayleigh, you have to protect Roger's treasure."
"You don't need to tell me that..."
Rayleigh sighed softly. He stood near the Straw Hat Pirates and the crowd of Ace and Whitebeard Pirates on the frozen sea. Holding his long sword, he looked up and down at Kizaru and Aokiji who was hiding in the awakening ice.
"How scary~" Kizaru's whole body was glowing with golden light.
He glanced at the entire scene. Only Marshal Sengoku, Whitebeard, and Lynch were left on Marinford. The rest of the people had gathered on the hundred-mile frozen sea that was split apart by Whitebeard's shattering attack.
"However, although it sounds harsh, Whitebeard's words are not wrong..."
Aokiji turned into a ball of ice-blue air and flew back to Marinford Island in the ice. "The remaining ones are all masters. Without any reservations about attacking, Whitebeard is going to really cause a big fuss!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"yes!"
Before Kizaru retreated back to the island, he casually released a series of strong lasers, piercing the keels of dozens of pirate ships that were already frozen by Aokiji's frozen sea and could not move. Then he shouted to the tens of thousands of marines on the frozen sea: "Don't let these pirates go!"
"For justice!" The densely packed marines on the ice roared in unison, watching Kizaru turn into a golden light and fly back to Marinford.
Bang! With a flash of golden light, Kizaru fell back into the air behind Sengoku. Following him, a blue-flame phoenix flew towards Marinford.
"Dad!" Marco flew towards Lynch and BIB anxiously. Hurry up, hurry up, as long as I give my fruit to Dad, I can heal Dad's injury immediately! "Marco!" Ace wanted to chase, but was held down by Joz, Bista and others. He had never hated his powerlessness as much as today. He gritted his teeth and said sadly: "Dad!"
Izou stared at Whitebeard's back with tears in his eyes, "Ace, do you want to live up to everyone's sacrifice and your father's determination?"
"The current battlefield in Marinford is no longer one we can participate in, Ace. Everyone who stays on the island is a world-class warrior!" The other captains said unwillingly, "Except for Marco who has the power of the Phoenix, none of us can set foot on it, and we can't even get close to their battlefield..."
"It's time to get to know the old times..."
Garp wiped the blood off his face with his rough hands, tore off his tattered suit and shirt, and his sturdy body covered with scars was exposed to the cold wind. He rubbed his fists and walked to the left side of Zhan Guo.
“Crash!”
In the ice hole, Zephyr, with only one arm left, dragged Akainu, who had both arms broken and was unconscious, out of the freezing sea. When the cold wind blew, Akainu woke up slowly and opened his eyes.
"Still alive?"
Hancock cast a cold glance and walked over to Lynch.
Zefa's broken arm had already frozen. He clenched his remaining fist and walked to the right side of Zhan Guo with an expressionless face.
Zhan Guo let out a low roar, and his body rose up, transforming into a twenty-meter-tall golden Buddha. Above his head, Kizaru was shining with golden light.
Zefa clenched his fist, his muscles bulged, covered in dark domineering aura. He only had one arm left, but it was still a "black arm".
"Hehe." Karp clapped his fists together, and his fists turned pitch black.
Robin let out a long breath and stood on the other side of Lynch.
Lynch held the blood-stained golden iron rod in one hand, with the black armor suspended above his head. His narrow eyes were glowing as he looked coldly at the six people opposite him.
"You can go, Whitebeard." Lynch put the golden iron rod on his shoulder and said without looking back.
"Who do you think I am?" Whitebeard laughed. "You are eight hundred years too early to cover my retreat!"
Sakaski, like a defeated dog, without arms, walked to a piece of ice and said as if he could die at any time: "Kuzan..."
The ice beneath his feet immediately dissipated and returned to the land of Marinford.
Akainu took a deep breath and let out a low roar. His remaining body turned into lava and merged into the ground beneath his feet, which had transformed into volcanic magma. It was like falling into hell...
"Jinbei! What are you doing!?"
The members of the Whitebeard Pirates shouted. It turned out that Jinbei suddenly stood out from the crowd and walked towards Marinford step by step on the frozen sea.
"I... am a fish-man."
Jinbei stopped and said without turning back. His words startled Ace and the others.
Jinbei lowered his head and thought for a while, then turned around and showed a generous smile on his scarred face: "As a Shichibukai ally of the Navy, you are avoiding the battle... It is unjust for me to abandon my ally. I have received great kindness from Father Whitebeard, and if I sit back and do nothing now, I will not be at peace for the rest of my life..."
"Jinbei! Stop talking nonsense!" Izo and the others shouted, "If you go now, you'll just be courting death!"
"Why should I care about death?"
Jinbei smiled heartily. "I will go even if there are thousands of people against me! " "The eyes of the whole world are looking at this..." Jinbei glanced at the long nose of the Straw Hat Pirates, who was already moved to tears. He saw the Den Den Mushi in his hand, which seemed to be used for live broadcast. "Then watch carefully. I am Jinbei of the Sun Pirates - I am from Fishman Island, an ordinary whale shark man."
"Jinbei!!!"
Amid the shouts of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates, Hawkeye, who was lying on the ice not far away with the black sword on his back, withdrew his gaze.
The Whitebeard captains just said that we can't even get close to that battlefield? That's a bit exaggerated.
However, these pirates are all injured and in poor condition, so it seems that they are almost the same.
His eagle-like sharp eyes looked towards the ruined icy battlefield of Marinford.
Like Hawkeye, the countless marines on the ice also fixed their eyes on the battlefield of Marineford, and the audience could continue to watch the live broadcast after the picture on the screen stabilized after Usopp picked up the Den Den Mushi again...
The world's top-level decisive battle is about to begin...
On the big screen, Jinbei the Sea Knight ran towards Marinford alone, and on the island in front of him, on the left and right, the lava giant and the frost giant rose from the ground, in the middle was a golden Buddha, on the left and right were Iron Fist Garp and Black Arm Zephyr, and the Admiral Kizaru in the sky was shining like a scorching sun...
"Two generations, new and old, six generals..." A white-haired old woman muttered to herself in the crowd on the frozen sea, "Is it worth it?"
"Vice Admiral Tsuru, Vice Admiral Garp is not an admiral." A Marine nearby reminded.
"Is there any difference?"
At He's gentle voice, the entire frozen sea surface began to tremble...
On the island of Marinford in front, the Lava Giant and the Frost Giant slapped down with their big hands. The clone created by the Son of Demon was on top. The Pirate Queen flew up and kicked with a wisp of domineering aura. The golden Buddha attacked head-on. The iron fists and black wrists on the left and right threw away all distractions and put all their strength into this punch, causing the black domineering lightning in the air to fly all over the sky. Along with the impact of the Buddha of Warring States, it pressed towards Lynch in the front like a tidal wave...
The black armor fell to the side of the main body, one hand held a golden iron rod, and the other hand's domineering aura extended and condensed into a long stick, and together they hit the huge impact force roaring towards them.
A strong blue-black aura burst out from the air, and they collided head-on! Boom!
In just a moment, the entire island of Marinford was shaking, and all the clouds in the sky were dispersed by the huge impact force, emitting light.
Kizaru, who was like the golden sun, had already aimed at Whitebeard.
Marco shouted anxiously: "Dad, don't be stubborn at this time! Let Lynch give you my fruit in exchange for your healing!"
"Stupid son, let me have some fun first..."
Whitebeard grinned, and held the Kusukume-kiri naginata with his flesh and bone palms. The blade was wrapped with a halo of earthquake force, and he chopped it down on the head with a dark domineering aura flowing on the blade towards the laser bombarded by Kizaru.
"Gulala!"
boom!!!!!!
The shock was greater than any previous one, and it directly cut the entire Marinford, along with the ruined naval building and the town behind it, into two parts.
The terrifying force of the earthquake split the sea hundreds of miles ahead...
Boom…
The red earth continent was hit by huge waves and kept shaking. Red gravel fell with a rustle, fell into the sea with a splash, and sank to the bottom of the sea.
…
[Beneath Marinford, 10,000 meters below the sea]
[Fishman Island——]
Wow, the wine spilled out of Neptune's glass. He looked at the trembling Dragon Palace and asked in confusion, "What happened?"
