Good's assault against the three legendary pirates raged on. To the Marines, watching their admiral fight evenly against Whitebeard, Shanks, and Rayleigh was like witnessing a god in battle, their morale soaring higher than ever.
But Ben Beckman noticed the danger immediately. If they kept dragging this out, the tide of war would turn.
"We have to finish this quickly. If not, this madman will turn the battle against us."
From the Whitebeard Pirates' side, many prepared to join forces against Good.
Behind them, Akainu stood, magma boiling around him, surging like a giant blazing sphere. His very presence stunned the pirates.
Jozu stepped forward, his body crystallizing into diamond. "You deal with Good. I'll block Akainu!"
He braced against Akainu's magma with sheer durability, pushed back hundreds of meters but still standing.
Marco then joined the fray. "Good job, Jozu! We'll handle Good!"
But suddenly, icy arrows rained down from above, cutting off their advance. Aokiji hovered in the sky, freezing the entire Crescent Bay into solid ice, sealing off any retreat.
Akainu and Aokiji had moved to intercept Whitebeard's commanders.
On the execution platform, Kizaru sighed. He had hoped to avoid effort, but with Whitebeard and Shanks fighting, he had no choice. Light swords materialized as he flashed in front of the Red Hair commanders.
Ben Beckman narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Kizaru. You alone think you can stop us?"
Kizaru gave his usual lazy "Yo~," but his expression stiffened. The Red Hair Pirates were known for their perfectly balanced strength—facing all of Shanks' officers at once was no small task. He immediately called mid-ranking vice admirals to support him.
The battlefield erupted into all-out war.
Whitebeard roared. "Charge! Bring my son Ace back!"
His crew bellowed in unison, leaping from their ships to storm Marineford across the frozen bay.
On the execution platform, Sengoku raised his voice, his tone carrying over the chaos.
"Marines! Today we decide the fate of the world! Leave no pirate alive!"
The Marines thundered back.
"Charge!"
"Kill them all!"
"Admiral Good holds off three legends! How can we falter?!"
And so, the clash erupted across every corner of Marineford.
Smoke, cannon fire, clashing blades, and endless cries of life and death filled the air.
Vice Admiral Momousagi cut down pirates with ruthless precision, her sword gleaming as she shouted, "Kill them all!"
Suddenly, the ice cracked. From beneath surged a towering giant, his body like a mountain, casting a shadow over the plaza.
"Ace! I'll save you!"
He swung his colossal club, shattering Marine formations. Cannons pounded his body, but he pressed forward like an unstoppable titan.
The battlefield was chaos.
Through it all, one focal point drew every gaze—the fight between Good and the three legends.
Everyone knew the outcome there would decide everything. If Good fell, the three would tear through Marineford like a storm. If he triumphed, victory would be the Marines'.
The three, adapting to Good's relentless attacks, finally began coordinating with deadly precision.
Even so, Good's regenerative body and endless arsenal of powers made him impossible to put down.
Watching from Totto Land, Big Mom's eyes widened in disbelief.
"One man fighting three of the strongest pirates alive…!"
"This Good… he's terrifying!"
She thought for a moment, then muttered coldly. "This reminds me of someone… Rocks."
When Rocks had fought in the past, he had stood against the peak of Roger and Garp. That kind of power had shaken the seas.
And now, the Marines had their own Rocks.
Katakuri's expression darkened. "No matter the outcome, this war will make his name resound across the seas."
Big Mom's eyes gleamed. "Unless… he dies here. The dead no longer cast shadows."
For now, however, the truth was undeniable—Good stood at a level even Rocks never reached, fighting three legends head-on.
And the war had only just begun.
