Countless specks of light shot toward the pirates on the sea surface...
Completely covering the entire battlefield!
Marco the Phoenix transformed into a blue phoenix, surrounded by blazing blue flames, and flew straight toward Kizaru.
He completely disregarded the overwhelming barrage of light attacks...
And kicked Kizaru straight back down onto the Marineford base.
Kizaru materialized from his photon state.
"Oh? You won't let us lay a hand on Whitebeard, will you?"
He spoke lazily and casually.
There wasn't a single scratch or injury on his body; even his clothes remained perfectly neat and clean.
At the same time... Diamond Jozu lifted a massive chunk of ice from the frozen sea.
This block was dozens of meters in size — looking just like a colossal meteorite made entirely of frost!
"Let's see how you defend against THIS!"
Using his immense, superhuman strength, Diamond Jozu hurled the massive ice block straight at them.
A huge shadow fell over the Marines below, who stared up in utter shock and disbelief!
At that moment... The last remaining Marine Admiral finally stepped forward.
Akainu's arm transformed into a massive limb of molten rock, radiating intense, scorching heat, and smashed directly into the falling ice!
Not only did this strike completely shatter the giant block... It also turned the sky above into a storm of raining lava and fire.
The frozen sea, once bitterly cold, instantly transformed into a zone of burning heat and magma.
A massive wave of lava surged straight toward Whitebeard!
Faced with such a terrifying attack, Whitebeard remained completely calm and unhurried.
With a single motion, he shattered the oncoming magma completely.
"Go light candles on a birthday cake with that, you lava brat." Whitebeard said in a steady, calm tone.
Akainu stared deep into Whitebeard's eyes... A dangerous smile spreading across his face.
"Not fond of lavish funerals, are you, old man?!"
But it wasn't just Akainu... There was another figure who had also set his sights firmly on Whitebeard!
The World's Strongest Swordsman — Dracule Mihawk!
Mihawk swung his supreme-grade blade — Yoru...
Releasing an incredibly powerful slash directly toward Whitebeard!
"Let me see... just how great the gap is between us!"
Faced with such a terrifying slash... A figure shining with brilliant light rushed forward and stood directly in front of Whitebeard!
It was Diamond Jozu!
He used his own diamond-hard body to block Mihawk's devastating strike head-on!
The chaotic, all-out war between Marines and Pirates had officially begun!
Countless soldiers and pirates clashed in combat to the death everywhere.
On the pirates' side, there was another powerful force clearing a path ahead...
Little Oars Jr.!
His body was colossal in size; even the giant Vice Admirals looked tiny and insignificant standing next to him.
Countless pirates followed behind Oars Jr., charging forward fearlessly.
But standing in their way... Was another formidable obstacle.
The Warlords of the Sea.
Faced with their overwhelming strength, Oars Jr. was quickly struck down and defeated.
His fall cast a heavy gloom and despair over the hearts of all the pirates.
The pirates were in total disarray... While the Marines' morale soared to new heights!
Just at this critical moment!
The greatest variable in the Summit War finally made its appearance!
A pirate ship descended from the sky... And countless pirates landed on the battlefield!
Among them were powerful figures like Straw Hat Luffy, Buggy the Clown, and Jinbe the Knight of the Sea!
And there was one person in particular who was most important of all...
Crocodile!
As he landed safely... Emporio Ivankov and Jinbe looked at Crocodile with deep gratitude.
"Please convey our deepest thanks to Lord El for his assistance!"
Being able to escape and arrive here was entirely due to Crocodile's help and arrangements.
And since arriving, every time Crocodile met a powerful ally, he declared openly that he had been sent by El.
Although El himself had not appeared yet... His kindness and influence were already deeply etched into everyone's minds.
With the sudden arrival of this reinforcement force... The pirates instantly gained a massive number of powerful fighters.
And the situation... was completely reversed once again!
Crocodile walked over and appeared beside Whitebeard.
"It's been a long time, Whitebeard." Crocodile said casually and easily.
Whitebeard smiled slightly. "Are you here to challenge me again, just like before?"
Crocodile replied calmly. "Of course not."
"Surely you have heard... I have sworn allegiance to Lord El now."
Hearing this, Whitebeard's expression became serious and focused.
"Does that mean that El...?"
A strong suspicion and thought arose in his mind.
Crocodile didn't answer him directly, but smiled instead. "Lord El... does not need to travel by ship like us to get here."
While the pirates received powerful reinforcements... The hidden forces prepared by the Navy were finally deployed by Sengoku.
Sentomaru charged into the battlefield at the head of a massive army of Pacifista units.
Countless laser beams rained down, blasting and striking the pirates across the battlefield!
Whitebeard had just felt a glimmer of relief upon hearing news about El...
When suddenly, he was betrayed and attacked from behind by one of his own sons, taking heavy damage directly to his front.
This caused his physical condition to deteriorate even further.
Originally a supreme powerhouse... his declining health combined with the betrayal and injury meant he was no longer able to display his true strength or power.
In the moments following... Straw Hat Luffy and Marco the Phoenix both rushed forward desperately, attempting to save Ace!
But the three Admirals and Garp stood firmly guarding the way.
How could they possibly be allowed to succeed?!
Sengoku watched the fierce battle unfold with absolute calm and composure.
"It is about time."
He spoke to himself in a low voice.
"EXECUTE ACE!!"
Instantly, under the desperate and despairing gaze of thousands of pirates...
Two gleaming, sharp blades swung down toward Ace's body!
"AAAAACCCCEEEE!!!!"
A deafening cry erupted from every throat.
