In an instant, two terrifying flames rushed towards General Qian She and General Lei Bao.
Faced with the terrifying heat, they had no choice but to stop.
"Sabo, let's go together!" Fire Fist Ace shouted hurriedly.
However, the Warring States period would not allow them to escape so easily, otherwise the purpose of the public execution might be disrupted.
"Trying to leave? Did you even ask me first?! A shock to Buddha!"
In an instant, the golden light on the Buddha's body became even more dazzling, so bright that Sabo and the others could not open their eyes.
Boom!!!
Sabo and the Northern Army commander could no longer withstand the Buddha's impact, and the shockwave suddenly struck them.
"Pfft!"
Both of them coughed up large amounts of blood instantly, their eyes rolled back involuntarily, and they nearly fainted.
Fire Fist Ace wasn't much better off; even though he was a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, he couldn't avoid getting hurt.
Against Armament Haki, Logia-type elemental transformations don't have as many advantages.
However, he did not suffer as much damage as Sabo and the Northern Army commander. He forced down the blood that was rising in his throat, grabbed one of them with each hand, and jumped down from the execution platform.
"You want to leave? Have you asked us first?"
General Lei Bao and General Qian She attacked again. One spat out a bolt of lightning from his mouth, while the other's hands transformed into venomous snakes, tearing out with their bites.
They all enveloped themselves in Armament Haki, intending to execute Fire Fist Ace and the Revolutionary Army members at this moment.
"Snap!"
Suddenly, a cracking sound rang out in the air above Marineford.
Whitebeard has made his move.
He unleashed a powerful air tremor at General Lei Bao and General Qian She, the terrifying force of which instantly exploded on the two of them.
The title of the world's strongest man is not something given lightly by others.
General Lei Bao and General Qian She's attacks were thwarted, and their bodies seemed to split apart as they fell helplessly from the sky.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fire Fist Ace unleashed his Devil Fruit power, with yellow flames swirling around him and instantly forming a fire tornado as he spun around.
The moment they landed, the surrounding naval soldiers were lifted into the air by the fire tornado.
They were either burned to death or thrown into the air and fell to the ground, their fate unknown.
"Kill Fire Fist Ace!"
On the execution platform, Sengoku gave orders to the naval soldiers below.
It's being broadcast live worldwide; there's absolutely no way he can escape from the Navy.
Otherwise, it will not only fail to make the navy more deterrent, but will also make people all over the world think that the navy is no match for a mere Yonko pirate crew.
The naval soldiers swarmed toward Fire Fist Ace like flies to dung.
"kill!"
Fire Fist Ace smiled confidently, placed his hands on his waist, and extended his index and middle fingers at the same time.
"Musketeers!"
Instantly, flames erupted from his fingertips, and fireballs rained down on the charging soldiers.
This tactic might not be effective against the strong, but it is very useful against cannon fodder like naval soldiers.
The musket was more powerful than the firearm and had considerable penetrating power, easily piercing the bodies of two or three naval soldiers.
But naval soldiers aren't those monsters; a fatal wound will kill them instantly.
With just three or four volleys of gunfire, the number of Marine soldiers who died around Fire Fist Ace was piled up to a meter high, with over a thousand dead.
Sabo had also recovered by this time; the shockwave from Sengoku had been quite painful.
Facing the fearless naval soldiers charging at him from all sides, he asked in a deep voice, "Karas, are you alright?"
Callas was the Union Army commander; he was bald, wore a bird-beak-shaped megaphone, and was dressed in a black feather coat.
He shook his head and replied, "It's nothing. What should I do?"
As the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, Sabo is not a brainless person like Ace or Luffy.
My thoughts raced, and I quickly found a way to break the deadlock.
He looked up at Ace and said, "Ace, listen to my command later, set me on fire."
“Okay, you can do it without worry. I’ll hold them off first!” Fire Fist Ace immediately agreed.
Sabo said to Karasu, "Karas, use the power of your Smooth-Smooth Fruit in conjunction with my Dragon Claw Fist."
Let's begin!
Karas clasped his hands together, his black feather coat fluttering wildly, sending clouds of coal dust billowing into the sky.
Sabo immediately unleashed his Dragon Claw Fist, slamming it heavily into the sky, creating a terrifying swirling airflow.
Combined with the coal dust, it instantly formed a massive coal dust tornado.
A coal dust tornado instantly covered a third of Marineford, obstructing the naval soldiers' vision.
Sengoku, standing on the execution platform, was stunned for a moment, then, as if he had just realized something, roared, "Quickly, quickly destroy the tornado!"
Before anyone else could react, Sabo's voice rang out.
"Ace, now's the time!"
Fire Fist Ace immediately stopped attacking the Marine soldiers, charged up, and unleashed his signature Fire Fist towards the coal dust tornado.
The fire, fueled by the wind, instantly ignited the coal dust in the air.
At first, it was just a tiny spark, but the next second the entire sky was ablaze with crimson flames, and the terrifying heat distorted space itself.
The naval soldiers caught in the coal dust tornado didn't even have time to scream before the coal dust on their bodies instantly ignited.
In an instant, it turned into a charred corpse, completely losing its vitality.
The fire tornado was enormous, engulfing tens of thousands of naval soldiers.
With just this one attack, Sabo and his crew inflicted tens of thousands of casualties on the navy.
"Fire Fist!"
Fire Fist Ace carved a fiery path through the fire tornado, and the group rushed toward the inner bay.
Seeing this, Marco immediately reminded them, "Brothers, cover Ace and the others as they get out. Don't let the Marines stop them!"
The pirates' morale soared, and they relentlessly entangled their opponents, preventing them from escaping.
At this moment, Akainu, who was sitting below the execution platform, finally stood up.
Watching Fire Fist Ace and the others leave, he said coldly, "If we really let you leave alive, what face would the Navy have to talk about justice?"
As he spoke, thick smoke billowed from his arm, followed by lava that dripped onto the ground and burned a large hole.
"Meteor Volcano!"
He swung his arms toward the sky, and lava shot up from his arms, then expanded to the size of a small mountain.
In an instant, the lava slammed towards Fire Fist Ace and his group, who were fleeing, like meteors.
Whitebeard wanted to attack again, but was stopped by Green Bull who arrived in time.
Suddenly, a warship fell from the sky, carrying a large-headed transvestite with purple hair.
"Death is in the eyes, eyes, eyes..."
The sound resounded through the sky, and the falling lava was struck by an unknown force.
Although it wasn't directly shattered, it successfully deflected the target from its original trajectory and hurtled towards the navy.
As Sabo ran, he heard a familiar voice, looked up, and exclaimed in surprise.
"Hahaha, it's Ivan, he's here too!"
Sengoku frowned as he stood on the execution platform. The Revolutionary Army's Chief of Staff, the Northern Army Commander, and other officers had all arrived. What exactly did the Revolutionary Army want to do?
Meanwhile, in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, Monkey D. Dragon was already leading the rest of the Revolutionary Army in preparation for an attack.
The Blackbeard Pirates, the Red-Haired Pirates, and others are also about to arrive at Marineford.
The real battle is yet to come.
