He never expected that during the time they were traveling here...
Earth-shattering changes had taken place across the entire battlefield!
"How could I possibly die... before I've killed you?!"
Ace shouted with pure hatred.
His right fist instantly transformed into a massive ball of roiling flames.
"Prepare to die, Blackbeard!!"
Blazing fire shot toward Blackbeard like a falling meteor!
Blackbeard tried to dodge...
But suddenly felt a terrifying tremor behind him!
Whitebeard had made his move too!
Attacked from both sides at once!
BOOM!
The combined power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and the Flame-Flame Fruit struck Blackbeard hard.
He was sent flying violently across the deck.
"AGH! IT HURTS SO BAD!!!"
Blackbeard writhed and rolled around on the floor in agony.
At first, Whitebeard felt immense satisfaction...
The feeling of striking down his enemy with his own hands was truly exhilarating!
But very soon, he realized something was wrong.
This guy Blackbeard...
Even though he kept screaming in pain, his voice remained strong and full of energy...
As if the damage he was taking barely affected him at all.
Meanwhile...
Blackbeard's crew charged toward the other pirates.
They were confident that with their immense power...
They could easily wipe out these so-called pirates.
However, they quickly realized just how wrong they were.
Every time one of them launched an attack...
There would be a powerful opponent of equal or even greater strength there to meet them head-on.
Jinbe the Knight of the Sea, Crocodile, Bartholomew Kuma, Emporio Ivankov, Gecko Moria...
There were countless enemies present who were all at the level of Warlords of the Sea or higher.
The members of the Blackbeard Pirates instantly realized they had walked right into a trap!
No wonder the Marines had been struggling so hard to fight...
There were simply too many monsters on the opposing side!
"This isn't working! We can't fight like this!"
"We don't have the advantage at all... we might actually get ourselves killed here!"
Shiryu of the Rain quickly realized how dire their situation was.
The other crew members weren't fools either.
Not only did they have no advantage, they were being pushed back at every turn.
"Why are there so many monsters fighting for the pirates?!"
"Now I understand why even the Marine Headquarters got destroyed!"
The crew shouted in panic.
"Captain! It's hopeless! We need to retreat now!"
"We can't hold them off any longer!"
Blackbeard was still rolling around on the ground...
But upon hearing his crew's shouts, he immediately jumped to his feet.
He looked toward his subordinates with a stern expression.
"We're already at our limit...?"
He muttered to himself.
At this moment...
There were burn marks covering Blackbeard's body...
But his injuries were surprisingly light and superficial.
This situation made Ace feel incredibly confused and suspicious.
He had definitely used his full power earlier!
He remembered their one-on-one fight from long ago...
It had been exactly the same back then.
Blackbeard had looked severely injured, but in reality, he was completely fine.
"What on earth... is this guy made of?"
While Ace was pondering this...
Blackbeard suddenly spun around.
"I'll finish you off quickly... and then we're leaving!"
Blackbeard said coldly, staring right at Ace.
The darkness surrounding his body grew deeper and denser.
Whitebeard's expression turned grave, and he prepared to join the fight...
When suddenly, countless streams of blazing crimson magma rained down from the sky!
It was as if the entire battlefield was about to be set ablaze and turned into a burning hell!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Countless molten rocks fell like meteors...
Covering and targeting every single pirate in the area.
The pirates looked up into the sky...
And were paralyzed with shock.
"This is..."
Their jaws dropped in horror.
"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! OR WE'RE ALL DEAD!"
"AAAAHHH! SOMEBODY HELP!"
Faced with such a massive area-of-effect attack...
One figure stepped forward!
"WHIRLPOOL THROW!"
Jinbe summoned a colossal surge of water, ripping it violently from the ocean, and smashed several of the fire meteors out of the air!
The other powerful pirates also stepped up and used their various abilities...
Striking back against the rain of fire.
But sadly... Their strength wasn't enough, and they could only do so much.
They managed to intercept and destroy less than half of the incoming attacks!
The rest were still plummeting down, about to crash right onto the pirates' heads.
"SHINRA TENSEI!"
A calm voice rang out across the battlefield!
Instantly, an invisible shockwave blasted outward across a massive range...
Sending every single piece of magma flying far away!
The pirates looked up...
Staring blankly at the sight above them.
There stood a lone figure, suspended in mid-air...
Shielding them from everything.
It was El!
"LORD EL!"
"Lord El has saved our lives once again!"
"Lord El... you are our true savior!"
Tears filled the pirates' eyes as they waved their arms and cheered wildly.
