81 Joining the battlefield 80

Marineford, above the city wall, golden flames rose into the sky along with thick smoke.

Hundreds of meters of surrounding city walls were instantly engulfed in flames and melted into patches of scarlet magma.

Akainu's body had disappeared.

Yet, after witnessing this scene, the entire Marineford Square burst into uproar once again.

However, Blackbeard in the sky showed no intention of stopping. He opened his mouth, and ice-blue energy gathered within.

"Freezing Ray!"

Tsk.

The next moment, an extremely cold light fell from the sky and struck a piece of magma below.

Tsk tsk tsk!!!

Kakaka.

Immediately, the liquid magma quickly turned into pieces of icy blue ice sculptures.

Everyone looked subconsciously, yet still didn't see Akainu.

Call out!

Blackbeard didn't hesitate and swooped down from the sky. At the same time, his voice echoed in the sky:

"The Blackbeard Pirates, start an all-out war and defeat the Marines!

Come at me!

There's no one standing in our way!"

Sengoku, in the distance, saw this scene and immediately roared:

"Blackbeard, where do you think you are?!

Defeat the Marines?!

Don't joke!

Sakazuki, Kizaru, Aokiji, stop pretending to be dead and go after Blackbeard!

Garp, what are you doing?!

Do you want to see Naval Headquarters destroyed?"

Sengoku's roar finally snapped Garp, who had been in a state of unconsciousness, back to his senses.

Then, he quickly assessed the situation and realized that the Marines were at a disadvantage.

How could this be when they clearly outnumbered their opponents?

Before they could react, another group had already entered the scene.

Swish Swish Swish!

Tsk.

On the ark's motto suspended in the distant sky, dozens of figures leaped down from above.

Two of the figures stood out the most.

One was Burgess, who transformed into a hundred-meter bloody dragon.

The other was Enel, trailing blue lightning.

Behind them, Locke rode a tornado with Gangfeng following closely behind.

This was supposed to be their moment to shine.

However, at that moment, two other figures arrived first, surpassing even Enel, Burgess, and Kuro.

Then, two extremely arrogant voices echoed in the sky.

"Teach, since I made you a promise, Sengoku is yours. Do you remember me? Hahahaha."

"Garp, it's been a while. Have you gotten weaker?"

Uh-huh!!!

When these two voices sounded, their figures had stopped in front of Sengoku and Garp, respectively.

"What! You two are!!!" exclaimed Sengoku and Garp simultaneously, disbelief evident on their faces.

"Heir of the Ghost - Douglas Bullet!"

"The Solitary Red - Baloric Redfield!!?"

As Sengoku uttered these names with great difficulty, the high-ranking combatants of the entire Naval Headquarters changed their expressions!

The faces of veteran powerhouses from around the world, watching the live broadcast, also filled with disbelief.

"How could these two monsters appear here!"

"Damn! What's going on? Weren't they imprisoned in Impel Down?"

"The Blackbeard Pirates must have breached the Deep Sea Prison. Otherwise, how could these two monsters be here?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Then who's that fat blue guy? Jinbei, the sea hero! We sent him in ourselves!"

Although those watching the battle didn't have as much detailed information as the Marines, many had been keeping up with the news.

The World News previously reported that Jinbei was arrested and imprisoned in the Deep Sea Prison for dissatisfaction with the Warlord title!

At this point, not only had Jinbei appeared on the battlefield, but also the two monsters imprisoned in the deep sea prison over a decade ago.

From this, it wasn't hard to infer that something was amiss with the Deep Sea Prison.

Or, the Blackbeard Pirates had infiltrated the prison!

Otherwise, there was no way to explain the presence of these monsters.

Solitary Red, Bullet, along with Enel, the strongest Logia Thunder Fruit user, Bajis with his 100-meter blood dragon form, and even the tornado-riding man...

After witnessing the full display of the Blackbeard Pirates' strength, all Marine soldiers felt a chill!

Moreover, many Marines noticed numerous individuals aboard the Blackbeard Pirates' large ship suspended above the sky, observing the battlefield.

Clearly, the enemy hadn't even mobilized all their forces!

Yet, were they already this formidable?

Where had Blackbeard gathered such a group of monsters?

However, what they didn't know was that on the bow of the Blackbeard Pirates' ship, the sniper Van Auger, possessing the more-more Fruit, had already selected his target!

A sensation today!

Van Auger aimed his sniper rifle at a giant Vice Admiral who was about to attack Little Oz.

"Momo Fifty Times Gun!"

Boom!

Call out!

As Van Auger pulled the trigger, the bullet shot from his rifle transformed into a massive cannonball, about five to six meters in diameter, turning into a black streak of light that struck Enel, Bullet, and Locke before they could react. It struck the Vice Admiral's body as well.

Boom!!!

The massive explosion sent the Vice Admiral, who was aiming to attack Little Oz, flying dozens of meters away, rendering him unable to get up for ten minutes.

This action immediately shocked the veteran Vice Admirals present!

"What was that just now?"

"It looked like a cannonball!"

"Don't be absurd! How can a cannonball be that powerful!?"

"That's right! Moreover, my experience tells me it was shot from the big ship a kilometer away!"

"What?! No way!"

Boom!!!

Just as the veteran Vice Admiral, Ghost Spider, was about to refute, another huge cannonball identical to the first one struck his vicinity.

"Broken Iron Slash!"

Ghost Spider wasn't one to back down. He swiftly drew eight long knives from the eight spider legs on his back and slashed at the incoming cannonballs.

Clang!

However, to his shock, his blades failed to cut through the massive iron balls.

Broken?

Mind you, Ghost Spider was a master swordsman capable of cutting through iron. How could he fail against mere cannonballs?

"It's Armament Haki!"

Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel, who was observing from a distance, reacted swiftly, about to warn Ghost Spider, but it was too late.

Boom!!!

The shell exploded upon being intercepted by the slash.

Whoosh!

Boom!

Ghost Spider was blown backward for more than ten meters, though his Zoan and Armament Haki-imbued body managed to survive the impact. Nevertheless, he sustained significant injuries, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth.

"Cough, cough, cough...damn it!"

Ghost Spider spat a mouthful of blood, infuriated:

"Who's firing those heavy artillery rounds wrapped in Armament colors? Deal with that guy first!"

Suddenly, with two Vice Admirals seriously injured, the Marines took notice of the distant heavy artillery fire... or rather, it was Van Auger firing the heavy cannons.

"Weihahahaha!"

At that moment, Badgers, charging in his blood dragon form from afar, transformed into his dragon-man form. He descended from the sky with a wild laugh and kicked Ghost Spider away.

Then, he looked at Vice Admiral Yushu Tian General Gou in the distance, raised his fingers to the sky, and smiled:

"Thinking of taking action against the sniper on our ship? Don't be ridiculous! even If I can't handle an Admiral, can I not handle you? You're just a Vice Admiral, I'll take you on!"

"Arrogant!" Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel, witnessing Badgers' arrogance, was provoked. He roared and slashed at Badgers with his blade:

"Breaking Wind and Breathless Slash!!!"

Even before Badgers could react, several fierce wind slashes, each more than ten meters long, intercepted the Vice Admiral's attack.

Boom boom boom!!!

After a flurry of slashes and blows, the remaining wind slashes directly tore through Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel's defenses, causing him to bleed from his left arm.

Whoosh!

Kurro, wearing a cat's claw Espada, appeared next to Bullet. He pushed up his glasses with his right hand and snorted:

"Badgers, leave the one with the sword to me!"

"Weihahahahaha!" Badgers laughed and didn't take it seriously. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the Warlords, grinning:

"That'll do too. It's about time I tested the mettle of the other Warlords! Sneaking up on others isn't a good habit. Doflamingo, it's your turn!"

Bang!

After uttering those words, Badgers, in his dragon-like state, created a pit several meters in diameter with a stomp and rushed towards Doflamingo in the blink of an eye.

Doflamingo, who was watching the chaos unfold, didn't anticipate being targeted first.

Even the pirates under Whitebeard chose to avoid the Warlords. Who had the audacity to challenge them?

As he turned his head to look, he saw a bloody figure hurtling toward him, throwing a punch!

Sensing the formidable power behind the punch, Doflamingo was taken aback. However, he didn't hesitate and retaliated:

"Spider's Web Wall!"

Hiss hiss.

Countless thin white threads shot out, forming a spider web in the air.

Boom!

Badgers' fist collided with the spider web. Although it destroyed the first layer, it failed to breach the second, thicker layer.

Seeing this, Burgess' expression changed. He noticed the ground around him had turned into countless white lines.

The teachings of Devil Fruit awakening resonated in their minds...

"That's... Fruit Awakening?!" Burgess exclaimed.

"Furfurfural!" Doflamingo laughed, spreading his arms:

"You're well-informed, but unfortunately, you've picked the wrong opponent. Die, you wasteland!"

"Weihahahaha, dying? Not that easy!" Burgess was delighted, not caring that he was ensnared by countless white threads.

Five!

In his human-dragon form, he transformed into a giant bloody dragon over a hundred meters long, breaking through the white lines and soaring into the sky, his roar shaking the heavens.

Seeing the bloody dragon, Doflamingo sneered:

"Fufufufu, I detest dragons the most! If I can't kill Kaido, why can't I kill you? A Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart·Feather Strikes the Line!"

Burgess opened his mouth, spewing the words at the countless threads entwined with Armament Haki shooting from below:

"Bad Wind!"

At the same time, on the other side...

Enel once again confronted Kizaru, who intended to besiege Blackbeard with Aokiji, and dragged him into battle.

Bullet activated the Fusion Fruit, integrating countless warships into his body, turning into a giant dozens of meters tall, facing Sengoku's golden Buddha!

Redfield didn't act immediately, but glanced at Garp, then at the other side.

After Blackbeard's descent, he punched the frozen ground without hesitation.

"Freeze Punch!!!"

Boom!!!

Half of Akainu's vanished body was blown out of the ground with blue ice fragments.

He had intended to use the underground magma to recover, but he hadn't expected the ground to freeze before he could.

Before he could create more magma, another extremely cold punch blasted him out of the ground.

If he didn't know Aokiji wouldn't attack him, he'd have blamed it on him!

"Violent Pheasant Mouth!!!"

Naturally, Aokiji wouldn't stand by as Akainu suffered. He created a giant bird and bombarded Blackbeard.

"Swallow the Heaven and Earth!"

Blackbeard waved his hand, swallowing the frozen bird, then pointed the palm of his other ten hands at Akainu, sneering:

"Liberation!"

The next moment, the bird charged out of the black mist and smashed into the stunned Akainu.

Boom!!!

Akainu was smashed into the ground by the massive ice bird, turning into an ice sculpture.

"Shave!"

Seeing this, Blackbeard flashed and appeared in front of the ice sculpture that was Akainu. He melted the ice and pressed his palm, neutralizing Akainu's powers with Darkness.

"Just returning the favor to Ace first!"

Under the latter's stunned gaze, Blackbeard pulled out the Seven Star Sword, injected Conqueror's Haki into it, and slashed.

"One Sword Shura!!!"

Tsk.

"Ahhhh!!!"

A black-red sword light cleaved down from Akainu's left shoulder, severing his left arm amidst his screams.
