This made the pirates admire him immensely.
"Truly worthy of being a legendary great figure! He doesn't give the Marines any respect at all!"
"Of course! What are the Marines anyway? They were all defeated by Lord El long ago!"
"Lord El! Wipe them out!"
The pirates cheered wildly for El.
The atmosphere on the battlefield had become intensely heated.
Just moments ago, this place was a scene of Marines and pirates slaughtering each other...
A scene of utter misery and tragedy.
But now, for the pirates, it felt more like a lively bonfire party.
They were so excited that it seemed the whole place was about to turn into a grand celebration!
Luffy felt this strange and dramatic shift in mood.
He turned to Emporio Ivankov and asked: "What is going on here?!"
"Ace is still up there on the execution platform! Why is everyone so happy like we're about to have a feast?!"
Ivankov laughed heartily as well.
"Wahahaha! Of course we are! Because we are about to have a feast!"
"Just wait and see, Straw Hat boy!"
Luffy was utterly confused and bewildered.
Do all these pirates trust El's abilities this much?!
Meanwhile, Whitebeard said to El: "Now that you have come... at the very least, these boys will be able to escape from here safely!"
Hearing this, El patted Whitebeard firmly on the shoulder.
"Why are you talking such gloomy nonsense?"
Suddenly, he shouted loudly to everyone in the center of the battlefield.
"LISTEN UP, PIRATES!"
"TODAY... WE STORM AND CONQUER MARINE HEADQUARTERS!"
El's words were like a blazing fire!
Instantly igniting the entire battlefield!
"AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"
The pirates raised their weapons and screamed in wild excitement!
"You heard him, boys! Lord El is leading us to crush them!"
"CHARGE! FOLLOW IN LORD EL'S FOOTSTEPS!!"
In that instant, countless pirates completely changed their objective!
Rescuing Ace? That was just a small goal!
Today... we are going to make the Marines pay the ultimate price!
At the same time, people watching the live broadcast from all over the world were stunned speechless.
"This El... he really has that much prestige among pirates?"
"The moment he arrived, the whole situation changed completely..."
"You guys don't know the legends about El..."
In taverns everywhere, the older generations who knew El's name were explaining his glorious deeds to the young ones...
Drawing gasps of astonishment and admiration from everyone listening.
...
Back at the battlefield!
Seeing the pirates practically boiling over with morale, panic spread through the Marine ranks.
Sengoku took a deep breath.
"DEFENSIVE FORMATION! EVERYONE... FOCUS ALL ATTACKS ON EL!"
"DO YOU HEAR ME? SPARE NO EXPENSE... ATTACK EL WITH EVERYTHING WE HAVE!"
Sengoku's order shocked everyone present.
Is he ordering the entire strength of the Marines... just to deal with one single man?!
The first to react were the Marines of the Science Unit.
Sentomaru stepped forward and shouted: "PACIFISTAS! OPEN FIRE!"
Twenty Pacifista units simultaneously swiveled their weapon barrels toward El's position!
"FIRE!"
Golden laser beams shot out, converging directly upon El!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The area where El stood was carpeted with heavy fire, instantly reduced to a field of rubble and debris!
"Did we get him?"
Sentomaru stared hopefully at the cloud of dust and smoke.
Suddenly... a domineering figure appeared right before his eyes in an instant!
"What?!"
Before Sentomaru could even react...
He was sent flying with a powerful kick!
At the exact same moment, the twenty Pacifista units surrounding the battlefield...
Disintegrated and fell apart instantly!
CRASH!
Their massive bodies were hit as if rammed by a ship weighing ten thousand tons...
Shattering completely into pieces!
It happened in just a split second.
The Science Unit's Pacifistas — worth billions of Berries in total value — were completely scrapped and destroyed!
This... was the true extent of El's power!
It was so fast that even the pirates didn't fully understand what had happened.
Only after a moment of stunned silence did they erupt into cheers!
"LORD EL! THAT WAS SO COOL!!"
"Pacifistas? Marines? They are nothing at all!"
"Wahahaha! Marines, are you scared yet?!"
At this moment, cold sweat poured down the faces of every single Marine soldier.
Too terrifying! Too fast! The destructive power is too great!
These were the only thoughts running through their minds.
If El hadn't attacked the Pacifistas just now...
And instead had turned that power against us...
We wouldn't have stood the slightest chance of survival!
At this moment, the remaining Warlords finally understood exactly why Doflamingo had left in such a panic earlier.
Defeating the Pacifistas was something they could also do...
But none of them could take out all twenty of them simultaneously, in the blink of an eye.
The fact that El could do this...
Proved that his strength had reached a level far beyond anything they could comprehend.
Crocodile was standing beside Jinbe at that moment.
"Well, Jinbe..." He spoke.
"Does Lord El's power make you feel... overwhelmed?"
Jinbe replied earnestly and immediately: "It has truly opened my eyes!"
"Lord El is not only loyal and honorable, but also possesses such immense strength! Perhaps he truly is the master I should have served all along!"
Hearing someone like Jinbe say such words...
Crocodile knew that his mission had at least partially succeeded.
He turned his gaze toward the center of the battlefield...
Specifically looking at all the powerful figures gathered there.
Who else... could be recruited to join Lord El's faction?
...
Regarding the complete destruction of the Science Unit...
Sengoku had already mentally prepared himself for it.
But what he hadn't expected... was that El would wipe them out in less than a second.
He recalled the battles he fought against El many years ago...
