[Charlotte Perospero: What are you looking at? Isn't this trick over yet?]
[Perona: Lord Moria, please look at the sea. A tsunami is coming!]
Everyone's eyes widened. The video had changed dramatically. The sea began to shake violently, and a thunderous roar filled the air. Waves around Marineford grew higher and higher, forming a massive tsunami that loomed over the Navy's headquarters, threatening to submerge it entirely.
[News King Morgans: Sure enough, this is Whitebeard's true power! He can actually trigger a tsunami!]
[Big Mom Charlotte Linlin: Mmmmmm, Newgate, you are still so strong.]
[Diamond Jozu: Hmph, now you see the power of my father!]
[Sky Island Strange Monk Urouge: Is this a Four Emperor? Unimaginable power!]
[Eustass Kid: The Four Emperors... I will definitely defeat them in the future!]
[Kaido of the Beasts: Uh-huh, little brat, you are quite courageous.]
[Captain Wufeng Wang Zhi: Well done, Newgate! Just flood the Navy!]
[Golden Lion Shiki: Hahahahaha, you are right!]
[Marine 1: How could this happen? Could it be that the Marine Headquarters was destroyed just like that?]
[Marine 2: Look, that's...!]
Just as the tsunami was about to hit, Admiral Aokiji jumped up and flew toward it. "Ice Age!" he shouted, freezing the towering wave in an instant. The immense wave became a wall of solid ice, unable to crash down.
Aokiji immediately attacked Whitebeard. "Ice: Two Thorn Spears!" Whitebeard just sneered, swinging his fist to shatter the spears. But his attack didn't stop there. Aokiji's ice body cracked and fell, though he quickly reformed himself and used his power to freeze the entire bay.
The war had officially begun. The captains of the Whitebeard Pirates led their men in a fierce assault, met by the elite Vice Admirals of the Navy.
[Civilian 1: Although the Four Emperors are very powerful, the abilities of the Marine Admirals should not be underestimated.]
[Marine 3: Of course! That's Admiral Aokiji, one of the three most powerful fighters in the Marine Headquarters!]
[Civilian 2: As expected of a general, he froze such a terrible tsunami in an instant.]
[Marine 4: And in this war, Admiral Aokiji is not the only admiral.]
[Marine 5: That's right! In this war, the Navy not only has the three admirals, but also Marshal Sengoku and the Navy Hero Vice Admiral Garp! The Whitebeard Pirates are no match for us!]
[Marine 6: You are right! We can definitely defeat the Whitebeard Pirates. The Navy will win! Justice will prevail!]
[Diamond Jozu: Hey, don't be so arrogant. Our Whitebeard Pirates are not as weak as you think. Just wait and see.]
[Akainu Sakazuki: So what if it's the Whitebeard Pirates? So what if it's the Four Emperors? You will soon perish together with the most evil bloodline in the world.]
[Phoenix Marco: Then let's wait and see.]
The battle raged on, but the appearance of one man shocked everyone. The world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk.
The World's Greatest Swordsman
"Fufufufu, it's really surprising that you would be the first to make a move," Doflamingo laughed as he saw Hawkeye draw his supreme sword, Black Blade Yoru.
"I just want to see how big the gap is between him and me," Hawkeye said calmly. He swung his sword, and an extremely powerful slash traveled halfway across the battlefield toward Whitebeard. The sheer power of the blow knocked down everyone in its path. Whitebeard, however, remained calm.
Just as the attack was about to hit, a man suddenly appeared, embracing the massive slash. It was Jozu, the commander of the Whitebeard Pirates' Third Division. Known as the "toughest man in the world," he deflected the attack into the sky without a single wound on his body.
[Pirate 1: I didn't expect the lone ranger Hawkeye would actually participate in this war.]
[Pirate 2: His slashing blow is really powerful. It is said that many people are so scared when they see him that they can't move and dare not resist him at all.]
[Red-Haired Shanks: Mihawk, you are still so unique. You probably agreed to join just to fight Whitebeard.]
[Hawkeye Mihawk: Well, it's just that the attack was blocked.]
[Civilian 1: But who is that person who blocked the attack? He was able to block the attack of the world's greatest swordsman! I thought he was an idiot at first, using his body to block the attack.]
[Member of the Third Division of the Whitebeard Pirates: You are the idiot! That is our captain, Diamond Jozu, the user of the Shine-Shine Fruit, the toughest man in the world!]
[Civilian 2: Wow, what a sparkling diamond! I wish I could pick off a piece!]
[Pirate 4: To be honest, I kind of want to, too.]
[Diamond Jozu: If you want it, come find me! Hahahaha!]
The video then turned to another of the Navy's most powerful forces.
A Light of Terror
Admiral Kizaru stood up and looked directly at Whitebeard. "Ooh~ The Whitebeard Pirates are so scary. Each one of them is like a monster. In that case, we have to kill the boss first."
His body turned into countless particles of light and electricity. In an instant, Kizaru was above Whitebeard. "Yasakani Sacred Jewel!" As Kizaru attacked, countless light points fell toward Whitebeard.
But Whitebeard did not move. He waited calmly for the attack to fall. Just before it landed, a ball of blue flame rushed out. Marco, the captain of the First Division, took the attack head-on. "How could I let you hurt Daddy!" he yelled, transforming into a phoenix and kicking Kizaru away.
[Whitebeard Pirates Crew Member 1: Captain Marco is so awesome! He's worthy of his name!]
[Whitebeard Pirates Crew Member 2: Hahahaha! The three most powerful forces in the Navy are no match for Captain Marco!]
[Marine 1: Impossible! Mr. Kizaru can't be defeated so easily!]
[Marine 2: Yes, as one of the three admirals, it's impossible for him to have only this much strength!]
[Marine 3: Even if I get kicked away by Whitebeard, it doesn't matter. After all, the opponent is one of the Four Emperors!]
[Marine 4: Mr. Kizaru must have a trick up his sleeve. You pirates should stop being so arrogant!]
Marco's action of kicking Kizaru away caused a heated discussion. Some began to doubt the admirals' combat effectiveness. Fortunately, the video continued to play, clearing Kizaru's name.
The Admirals' Power
After Marco kicked Kizaru away, there was a flash of light, and Kizaru appeared again, unharmed. On the other side, Diamond Jozu punched a giant block of ice and threw it toward the execution platform.
The attack was swift. Just as it was about to land, Sakazuki stood up and used his Devil Fruit powers. His arms became molten magma, and a "Great Eruption" melted the giant ice block. But his attack didn't stop there. The giant magma fist exploded into countless falling fire meteors, forcing both Marines and pirates to flee. The ships that Aokiji had frozen were instantly set ablaze.
A meteor flew toward the Moby Dick. Whitebeard, standing at the bow, calmly drew his supreme sword, Murakumogiri. He placed the fire meteor on the blade, and with a soft "whoosh," the meteor's fire was extinguished instantly.
"Lava brat," Whitebeard taunted. "You can use your attack to light a candle on a birthday cake!"
[Golden Lion Shiki: Hahahahaha! Newgate, you really know how to taunt!]
[Civilian 1: Each of the three admirals is so powerful! Is this the top combat power?]
[Pirate 1: It's worthy of the ability of the Logia-type magma fruit. When it's activated, it's like the end of the world!]
[Civilian 2: But seeing such a powerful attack, it was directly nullified by Whitebeard.]
[Pirate 2: This is the power of the strongest man in the world!]
[Marine 1: Everyone's battle was so exciting! I wonder if there will be more next time?]
The Ancient Giant
As the fighting continued, a heavy thudding sound echoed, shaking the ground. A massive green figure emerged from the fog. It was Little Oars Jr., far bigger than any giant.
"Ace-kun! I will never let you die!" he roared, charging toward Marine Headquarters. His huge size made him immune to the Navy's artillery shells, and he used his giant sword to cut down warships. The Navy sent eight giant generals to stop him, but it was useless.
Whitebeard offered a warning. "Oars, rushing forward recklessly is not the same as being brave." But Oars Jr. insisted he would rescue Ace as quickly as possible. Whitebeard could only sigh and have his men provide him cover.
[Civilian 1: What is that? Is it a monster?]
[Marine 1: They should be giants.]
[Civilian 2: How could there be such a big giant? Compared to him, those giant generals in the Navy seem like children.]
[Whitebeard Pirates Crew Member 1: That's our Captain Oars, not a monster!]
[Whitebeard Pirates Crew Member 2: Our Captain Oars is a giant, but not an ordinary giant! He's a legendary ancient giant, a descendant of Oars who lived five hundred years ago!]
[Pirate 1: Oars the Continent-Puller? That Oars the Continent-Puller?!]
[Pirate 2: No wonder he's so powerful!]
[Gecko Moria: Hehehe, a descendant of Oars the Continent-Puller? I really want him to be part of my collection!]
[Queen the Plague: What's so strong about the ancient giants? They can't compare to our Barbarian Tyrant!]
[Whitebeard Pirates Crew Member 3: It should be your Barbarian Tyrant. He is not as good as our Captain Oars! He is a real ancient giant!]
[Pirate 3: Stop arguing! The camera is turning again! Look, that's...!]
[Pirate 4: So beautiful~]
The Pirate Empress
The camera shifted to another battlefield, where a woman of stunning beauty appeared: Empress Boa Hancock. She used her "Captive Arrow" move, and countless pink arrows shot out, petrifying Marines and pirates alike.
"Although I have agreed to fight with you, this does not mean that I am your companion," she said with a cold, arrogant expression. "As for men, whether they are enemies or allies, they are all the same." She then suddenly became shy like a little girl. "Except for that one man."
The audience was captivated.
[Pirate 1: Oh, oh, oh, oh!]
[Civilian 1: Is that the most beautiful woman in the world? She's so beautiful!]
[Blackfoot Sanji: Woman~ Beauty~]
[Pirate 2: Lady Empress, I will always follow you!]
[Marine 1: This woman, as one of the Seven Warlords, why did she attack even the Navy?]
[Marine 2: I don't know what you're doing!]
[Pirate 3: Hey! You are not allowed to say that about the Empress! The Empress is always right!]
[Pirate 4: By the way, I'm very concerned about one thing: who is the man that the Empress is talking about?]
[Pirate 5: I'm also very curious! How could such a proud Pirate Queen make an expression like a little girl?]
[Pirate 6: Could it be that the Empress is in love?]
[Pirate 7: Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I don't believe it!]
[Pirate 8: Damn it! Who is that "adult"?! Stand up! I promise I won't beat you to death!]
[Pirate 9: That's right! Come out quickly! I want to duel with you!]
A hush fell over the sky as everyone watched the broadcast, which had just shown the fall of Little Oars Jr.
The Unwavering Spirit of Oars Jr.
Little Oars Jr., enduring a hail of cannon fire, struggled toward the execution platform. "Ace, wait a moment. I will save you soon!"
Suddenly, the Warlord of the Sea, Bartholomew Kuma, used his "Ursus Shock" move. The compressed air struck Oars Jr. directly in the abdomen, sending him flying backward. His body, already covered in wounds, bled profusely. The attack's immense power also impacted nearby pirates and Marines, sending them flying as well.
Oars Jr. fell to the ground, critically injured, his consciousness fading. Yet, driven by his desire to save Ace, he slowly rose to his feet.
He charged toward Doflamingo, but in his weakened state, he was no match. Doflamingo simply moved his fingers, and Oars Jr.'s right leg was severed. Then, Gecko Moria moved in, using his Shadow's Asgard to pierce Oars Jr.'s body, finally bringing the giant down.
"Captain Oars!"
"Oars!"
"Little Oars!"
The Whitebeard Pirates screamed in disbelief.
[Phoenix Marco: Damn Warlords, how dare you treat Little Oars like this?! I won't let you go!]
[Diamond Jozu: Doflamingo, Gecko Moria, right? I'll remember you.]
[Doflamingo: Fufufufu, a threat? This is really interesting. Come on, just come on!]
[Gecko Moria: Hehehe, come on over. Maybe I can add a few more to my collection.]
On the Moby Dick, Marco angrily slammed his fist into the deck. "Damn it!" The entire crew was filled with fury and resentment.
Whitebeard, seeing their anger, spoke calmly. "Okay, my sons. That was just a vision of the future. It hasn't happened yet. We still have a chance to change it. Now, I hope you can get over your low spirits as soon as possible and keep working hard. We still have to save our Ace."
"Yes, Pops. I understand."
"Little Oars, don't be so impulsive in the next battle. I'll be watching you."
"I see," Oars Jr. responded.
In his prison cell, Ace watched Oars Jr.'s sacrifice and couldn't contain his emotions. "Oars!" he cried out. He wanted to say something, but the video's events were all his fault. Filled with sorrow, he could only grieve alone.
The video continued, undeterred by Oars Jr.'s fall.
The Escalating War
Because of his concern for Oars Jr., Whitebeard briefly let his guard down. The Marine Vice Admiral, Lacroix, saw his opportunity and attacked with a double-sided axe. Whitebeard sensed him and shattered the axe with a single punch. He then pressed Lacroix to the deck, and with a single blow, the Vice Admiral's helmet exploded and he fell, defeated.
Meanwhile, Oars Jr.'s fall had galvanized the Whitebeard Pirates. They fought with renewed vigor, pushing forward along the path he had cleared. The 13th Division Captain, Atomos, went straight for Doflamingo to avenge Oars Jr.
Unfortunately, Doflamingo's strength was immense. He simply moved his fingers slightly, and Atomos found he could no longer control his body.
"Fufufu, pirates are evil, and the Navy is justice. This kind of thing has been rewritten countless times. People who don't know what peace is and people who don't know what war is have different concepts. Only those who stand at the highest point can define good and evil. Justice will prevail. This is a matter of course, because only the winner is justice."
Doflamingo laughed as he controlled Atomos with his strings, forcing him to attack his own crewmates. The war was getting more and more intense.
[Atomos: Doflamingo, what did you do? Why would I attack my friends?]
[Doflamingo: Fufufu, the weak have no right to know.]
[Golden Lion Shiki: Hahahahaha! This is a really good ability. I like it very much. This is what I should do!]
[Captain Wufeng Wang Zhi: Although I hate the Navy, it's quite interesting to see Newgate suffer. Hahahaha!]
[Kaido of the Beasts: Doflamingo, I didn't expect your Parasite ability to be so well-controlled.]
[Pirate 1: It's really amazing. With just one move, Atomos was controlled. He's a Whitebeard Captain, but he couldn't resist Doflamingo's move.]
[Pirate 2: As expected of a Warlord of the Sea. He's truly amazing.]
[Whitebeard Pirates Crew Member 1: Ahhh! Doflamingo, just wait! Not only Little Oars, but now even Captain Atomos has been hurt by you! We, the Whitebeard Pirates, will definitely not let you go!]
[Doflamingo: Fufufu, okay. I'll wait for you guys to come. Just remember to be prepared to die.]
As the war reached a fever pitch, an unexpected change occurred on the battlefield. A warship suddenly fell from the sky. Both the Marines and the Whitebeard Pirates were baffled. But as the ship descended, the figures on it became clear, and everyone froze in shock.
The people on the warship belonged to neither the Marines nor the Whitebeard Pirates. A third force had just arrived.
"Ace!"
With a shout that tore through the sky, Ace was stunned. Garp stood beside him, dazed, while Sengoku's face darkened. Empress Hancock's face was filled with shyness, and Gecko Moria gritted his teeth.
The man who had arrived was none other than the "Straw Hat" Boy, Monkey D. Luffy!
