So over the past few days.
Whitebeard has been waiting for King Liku to make a decision. If the other side compromises, so be it, but if they decide to resist to the end, he wouldn't mind going personally to give the Navy a wake-up call.
——The New World is not a place where the Navy can do as they please!
"Gurararara!"
Whitebeard laughed, his voice echoing like thunder.
"No wonder King Liku has persisted until the fifth day without compromising. It turns out he has quietly gained such an incredible backer!"
He slowly stood up, his towering figure casting a massive shadow.
"Papa, should we…"
Marco hesitated and asked tentatively.
"No."
Whitebeard shook his head and looked deeply at the horizon:
"I know you have ties with him, but… my foolish son, this is his fight. We don't need to intervene, and we shouldn't intervene."
"However…"
Whitebeard continued in a deep voice, "While we won't interfere, don't let anyone else think they can… Send someone to keep an eye on the movements from Navy Headquarters. If they continue to send people into the New World… Marco, you know what to do."
"Yes, Papa!"
...
Outside Tokushima Island.
The scarlet sword light and the golden rays across the sky gradually faded away.
Pa!
Kizaru landed from mid-air, stumbling back a few steps before stabilizing his stance. His face was unsightly as he looked back.
As expected…
The terrifying impact of that sword was barely withstood by him, preventing the lower marines from being affected.
However.
The spread of the Supreme King's power couldn't be countered no matter what.
Looking out, from east to west, on these dozen or so warships spread out in a V formation, all the marines and low-level officers had rolled their eyes and passed out.
Like a harvested field of wheat, the deck was almost entirely filled with them lying there.
And the reason major generals, rear admirals, colonels, and lieutenant colonels could stand and retain consciousness, after staggering around, was not because of their strong will, but merely because they only bore the aftereffects.
"So this is the power known as the Supreme King…"
Enel looked at the marines collapsed around him, his expression changing slightly, cold sweat dripping from his forehead:
"I am a god, yet I haven't mastered it. How could mere mortals of the Blue Sea possess such great power?"
Oh, heavens…
How unfair you are!
Doberman gritted his teeth; this guy is talking nonsense again…
But at times like this, there's no time to deal with it. He drew his sword and leapt up, shouting sternly:
"Everyone who is still conscious, take over the steering! First, dock the ship, then split into two groups: one to moonwalk up the giant rocks and guard against attacks from Dressrosa, and the other to come with me and capture the Endgame Pirates' executives!"
"Yes, Vice Admiral!"
Responses came from each of the dozen warships, and then the fleet set course rapidly towards Dressrosa.
...
On the Endgame.
Shano sheathed his sword, glancing at the formation change of the warships.
"Do they want to take high ground and divide the battlefield?"
He let out a cold laugh, "What a delusion… Nojiko, freeze this sea! Let these warships be completely immobilized! Then join Robin and take Nami to the high ground of Tokushima Island. The three of you are in charge of defense there, protecting the townspeople!"
"Yes, big brother."
Nojiko was the first to nod. The two Logia-types, with their wide-range control skills, were perfectly suited for defending the cliff.
This also allowed them to relieve Kuma, enabling him to join the main battle.
After replying, she glanced at Nami, who was lying pale on Ah Yin's back, seemingly about to fall asleep. Nojiko irritably reached out, gently patting her awake.
Shano's gaze swept over the others:
"Nuomi, you lack combat experience, so stay with Uncle Zeff to guard the ship. If the battle changes, decide if you need to support."
"Ah Yin, and the rest, all follow me in. I'll handle Kizaru, and as for the other marines, you pick your opponents… Did everyone understand?"
"Understood, Captain!"
The crew responded in unison.
"I'm going down first!"
Nojiko flipped over the railing, diving head-first towards the sea. Just as she was about to touch the surface, she let out a low shout, pushing her arms forward, releasing the power of extreme cold -
"Ice Age!"
Bang!
A bitter cold tide of ice and snow surged from her palms, sweeping in all directions with unstoppable force.
Crack crack, accompanied by the piercing sound of freezing, the previously surging sea instantly turned into an expansive frozen plain, glistening with a frigid silver light under the sunlight.
"Damn it, the warship can't move!"
"This move, if I'm not mistaken, isn't it Great Admiral Aokiji's technique? How does that female pirate know it too?"
"Fool! It's the Logia-type Snow-Snow Fruit! I heard this fruit is an upgraded version of Great Admiral Aokiji's fruit!"
"Is that so?! Damn it, how does each member of the Endgame Pirates have such troublesome abilities…"
"No choice, we can only abandon the warships and use Moonwalk to launch an attack!"
...
"The freezing is complete, Nami, we should go up now!" Nojiko returned to the deck, pulling the sleeping Nami off the floor.
"Ugh?"
Nami flopped around like a fish in a dried-up pond, weakly struggling, "No, no! I just rested for a while. Let me sleep a bit longer…"
For the past five days, she had nearly every day been used as a fuel source, accelerating the ship for over eight hours a day, eight hours!
