In Marineford's inner bay, at a certain spot on the surrounding wall, golden light particles coalesced into a yellow-striped figure.
Kizaru stood there, mouth slightly agape, his eyes behind the sunglasses fixed on the breach in the surrounding wall.
The blood mist, formed from the slaughter of pirates, was already soaring skyward. This scene was very visually impactful. Even he, an Admiral, felt a jolt of alarm.
It wouldn't be long before the pirates discovered the anomaly.
Crack... Crack...
With a flash of icy blue light, the power of ice poured forth.
Aokiji froze a wave of pirates who had previously landed on Marineford into ice sculptures.
"Oh my, Renji, your efficiency is a bit too astonishing."
Saying this, Aokiji walked towards the breach in the surrounding wall.
Thanks to Renji, who alone displayed a battlefield suppression capability on par with an Admiral, the pirates on Marineford's land were about to be completely cleared out.
At that time, Marine could commit all of its high-end combat power to the annihilation of pirates pouring into the inner bay through the breach in the surrounding wall.
"Is this our Marine rookie? I think he can no longer be called a rookie. He's as strong as an Admiral."
"He alone blocked that breach. This is our strongest Marine rookie."
In Marineford's inner bay.
Splash... Splash...
A large number of bubbles frantically spewed out.
Jinbe's eyes widened as he watched. In the seawater, the robot formed by the fusion of Bullet, after a series of transformations, actually formed a drill-shaped submarine, rapidly traversing underwater.
"It's not affected by seawater? Isn't this ability the same as Aokiji's?"
As Jinbe exclaimed, he saw Bullet controlling the submarine, charging towards the foundation of Marineford's inner bay land.
Rumble... Rumble...
Dull sounds emerged from the constantly rising bubbles underwater. The sturdy foundation supporting the massive Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, was frantically cracking under Bullet's robot drill. Soon, a dark tunnel was dug out. Bullet controlled the robot to drill into it.
"Hahaha! I don't know what special material that wall is made of. Although I absorbed it, it took until now to truly convert and utilize it."
Inside the drill-shaped submarine, Bullet laughed heartily.
Through the power of the Clank-Clank Fruit, after merging the surrounding wall, which Vegapunk had created using special materials, his current robot's body strength had surpassed his previous Armament Haki hardening.
"You brat! Before I deal with Sengoku and Garp and find out that secret, I'll smash you into a meat paste."
Rumble... Rumble...
A very high-frequency tremor emanated from beneath the earth. Marineford, after Whitebeard's death, once again experienced intense vibrations.
Dark purple whirlpools surged wildly within Marineford's foundation. As a large amount of hard rock and various debris were all fused into Bullet's body, Marineford actually began to tilt.
"What's going on? This feeling is like a super vibration mode."
"I feel like my teeth are chattering when I speak."
"Whitebeard is dead. Is it an earthquake this time? Or a tsunami!?"
Koby wanted to cover his ears with both hands, but he realized he only had one hand left.
With a look of fear, he muttered, "Is this war? So many sudden situations. I can't hold on anymore."
Koby turned to look at Helmeppo next to him and shouted, "Let's run! If this continues, we'll really die!"
At this moment, Helmeppo was equally terrified. Just as he nodded in agreement, preparing to run with Koby, to the shock of the Marines, the tremors from deep within the earth gradually intensified, with the most severe coming from directly beneath the execution platform.g
On the execution platform, as violent tremors reverberated, large cracks spread from bottom to top on the lower level of the execution platform.
With the violent shaking, the two executioners were stumbling. Ace even fell, face-planting, and even Sengoku had to exert himself to maintain balance.
"What's going on with this tremor?"
Garp, who had been waiting below, also noticed the abnormality. Before he could wonder, his peripheral vision suddenly caught a glimpse of a shadow from the sky, descending towards the front of the execution platform at an astonishing speed.
"Huh? Luffy!"
How did this brat come from above?
Boom—Rumble!
A huge impact exploded from beneath the execution platform. Countless thick, dark soil accompanied by rolling smoke and dust rose. The platform, prepared for Ace's execution, was pierced from below by an enormous drill, completely shattering.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
"What's happening? What is that thing?"
At this point, all the Marines on Marineford's mainland had their attention drawn.
"Oh my, wait, what's going on again?"
Aokiji stopped in his tracks, his brow furrowed as he looked at the suddenly exploding execution platform behind him.
Buzz... Buzz...
Golden cross flashes shone and converged. Kizaru, who was in the process of outlining, took the opportunity to cancel his eight-second charged laser. Then, he turned his body to look at the execution platform behind him.
"Yo, what kind of commotion is this again?"
"Ace!"
A voice descended from the sky.
Ace, falling from the execution platform, looked up at the high sky, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Luffy!"
At the breach in the surrounding wall, cold light flickered in Renji's pale blue eyes. He was unaffected by any tremors due to Infinity.
With the 360-degree vision from Heavenly Six Eyes, he had already seen Luffy descending from the sky, and Bullet, who had destroyed the execution platform.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Even with him killing Whitebeard and many captains so much earlier, Ace was still able to be rescued. Was this the influence of the world's will?
Renji flicked his finger, and two beams of light, one red and one blue, flew rapidly from the breach in the surrounding wall, then landed on the surface of Marineford's inner bay.
Countless pirates saw this scene and were terrified. However, before they could make their next move, they saw two more beams of light, one red and one blue, fly out again, then hover above their heads.
At the same time, Renji turned, divine light bursting forth in his pale blue eyes. He slowly walked towards the execution platform, his mouth opening and closing,
"Nine Ropes, Polarization, Crow and Declaration, Between Inside and Out!"
The next instant, within the surrounding wall behind him, dazzling purple light shone across the sky.
The strongest feat, Unrestricted Hollow Technique: Purple, was once again etched into the Marineford battlefield.
