The pacifists unleashed a barrage of fire, inflicting heavy casualties on the pirates in the inner bay.
Even pirates with bounties in the millions can't withstand the laser barrage.
"Damn it, I didn't expect there to be another trick up my sleeve!"
On the Moby Dick, Marco stared grimly at the pacifists.
That was a true war machine, ruthless in killing.
"All pacifists are here, target: Moby Dick."
Upon seeing that the pirates were being blocked from entering, the commander of the Pacifistas immediately turned his attention to Whitebeard.
He couldn't even imagine how great an achievement it would be to kill one of the Four Emperors.
Pacifists turned around and aimed at the Moby Dick.
As the mouth opened, light particles rapidly converged, creating a golden avenue on the shore.
"fire!"
In an instant, dozens of thick laser beams shot out simultaneously, converging into one a few dozen meters before hitting the Moby Dick, their power terrifying.
"Dad, be careful!" Marco tried to stop him, but he was too weak and hadn't recovered from the fight.
If the navy discovers his current state, they will surely launch an even more ferocious attack.
At this moment, Vista, the captain of the Fifth Division, finally made his move.
He leaped to the very front of the Moby Dick, his twin swords flashing as he swung them rapidly.
In an instant, the delicate petals fell from the sky, seemingly posing no danger whatsoever.
However, in Vista's hands, the petals were all weapons, all of them his.
He was itching to fight back after just facing Hawkeye's attack.
Diamond Jozu beat him to it, and now it's finally his turn to make his move.
A thick laser beam pierced the air as he crossed his twin swords in front of him and slashed down at the laser.
Boom!!!
The laser struck the twin blades, instantly splitting into tiny beams that swept across the sides of the Moby Dick.
Vista narrowed his eyes, then suddenly exerted force with both hands, bringing his twin swords down.
Two slashes traveled upstream against the flow of laser light, splitting it as they struck the pacifists on the shore.
While its power may not be as overwhelming as Hawkeye's sword strike, it is still formidable and belongs to the level of a top-tier swordsman.
The pacifists were thrown off balance by Bista's attack and lost their momentum for a short time.
"Brothers, charge! Kill these damn marines and rescue Ace!"
Bista jumped off the Moby Dick and transformed into a whirlwind, hurtling towards the navy on the shore.
With a flick of his twin swords, a sudden gust of wind arose, and in an instant, a tornado appeared out of thin air, destroying all the cannons like a tornado destroying a parking lot.
Taking advantage of their charge, the pirates on the inner bay attempted to land and fight the navy.
However, the navy resisted fiercely, knowing that as long as the pirates were at sea, they would have a significant advantage.
Even without the pacifists' intervention, the pirates' movements remained extremely slow.
The navy's shore defenses were very strong; even without gun emplacements, the sailors would fire volleys of muskets.
Although its power is not as great as that of a cannon, its attacks are dense and continuous, making it difficult for pirates to advance.
Just then, a giant nearly 100 meters tall, with a dark red body, emerged from the seabed of the inner bay.
It was none other than Little Oars, the demon under Whitebeard's command.
"Ouch, give Ace back to me!"
He roared and brandished a sword as large as a pirate ship, slashing horizontally at the navy on the inner bay shore.
In an instant, the navy personnel who couldn't dodge were cut in half at the waist, as easily as cutting tofu.
Little Oars grabbed a piece of driftwood and shoved it onto the shore, creating several paths for the pirates to land.
He took a step forward and slashed down at the approaching navy.
The ordinary navy soldiers were powerless to resist and were easily cleaved in two with a single strike.
Little Oz's body was so big that it was practically a bulldozer of war.
He single-handedly cleared out the navy in front of the inner bay, giving those pirates the opportunity to come ashore.
However, there are also giant vice admirals in the navy, and more than one.
They attacked simultaneously, instantly surrounding Little Oz, and unleashing a barrage of weapons—axes, greatswords, and more—on him.
However, most of the giants are very slow, and although their power is enormous, it is too limited in scope.
But Little Oars is different; he is a demon, possessing a huge body while also being incredibly fast.
The Giants Lieutenant General had no advantage against him.
Wielding a large sword, he struck first despite being behind, easily blocking the attack.
Moreover, he was larger and stronger, and could break through the defenses of several giant admirals with his own strength!
"Get out of my way, I need to save Ace!"
With a single strike, the giant lieutenant generals were horrified.
Unexpectedly, they were defeated by Little Oars in terms of strength, causing them to lose face.
Doflamingo became interested upon seeing this: "Whew, a demon? The Whitebeard Pirates really do have all sorts of people!"
As he spoke, he strode toward Little Oz.
When Moonlight Moria, who was harvesting shadows, saw Little Oz, his eyes gleamed with greed.
"I want to seize his shadow, seize his body, and maybe then I can take revenge on Kaido!"
He also walked toward Little Oz, wanting to take his shadow.
Marco, aboard the Moby Dick, frowned upon seeing this.
Whitebeard said calmly, "Marco, go help Little Oars. His presence can give the others a foothold."
"But Dad, you..."
"Hmph, I'm an old man with a white beard, I don't need your protection."
Even though he's no longer at his peak, his white beard is still the same white beard.
Marco was one of the first people to follow Whitebeard and knew his inner pride.
If we keep protecting him by their side, it will only make him feel ashamed.
"Dad, I'm off!"
Marco felt relieved and decided to trust his father's abilities.
After all, he's the strongest man in the world!
It immediately transformed into a phoenix and flew towards the shore.
The other squad leaders immediately received the news and rushed to Oars Jr.'s location, asking him to open up a battlefield for his comrades on the inner bay.
With the Navy, pirates, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea all joining the battle, the war intensifies.
Sengoku guessed that Whitebeard wasn't taking action because the division commanders were doing it, so he began to pressure him to do so.
Although the appointed time for execution had not yet arrived, Sengoku picked up the Den Den Mushi and announced that he was preparing to execute Portgas D. Ace ahead of schedule.
"The execution time has arrived. Begin the execution!"
The battlefield fell silent, and everyone's attention was focused on the execution platform.
The navy cheered, while the pirates wailed; their emotions were completely opposite.
They all knew that if Fire Fist Ace was beheaded, then the Navy would have won the war.
The two executioners raised their naginata, the blades gleaming coldly in the sunlight.
Whitebeard was furious, never expecting that Sengoku would try to force him to take action by threatening Ace's life or death.
But at this moment, even if he intervenes, he can't save Ace.
"Execute!" Sengoku gave the order without hesitation.
Ace closed his eyes in despair, awaiting death.
The moment he closed his eyes, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice entered his ears.
"Ace, I'm here to save you!"
Two inconspicuous ashes landed on the executioners, and the next moment they spontaneously combusted, the terrifying temperature instantly turning them to ashes.
Looking up, he saw a man wearing a tall hat riding a crow.
"The Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, the Commander of the Northern Army of the Revolutionary Army, how did the Revolutionary Army get involved too!"
