"Gurararara..." A hearty laugh echoed across the sea. Whitebeard slammed Murakumogiri down on the deck, "Sengoku, get out here!"
Between the sea and the sky, a great battle was on the verge of breaking out.
Ron stood on Little Wang's head, gazing at the strict defense line of Marineford in the distance.
Although it didn't have the exaggerated hundred thousand troops seen in the anime, Marineford's port was still filled with elite Marines—Akainu and Aokiji, two of the Three Admirals, sat high in front of the execution platform, with dozens of Vice Admirals wearing justice cloaks behind them, and neatly arranged Marine Colonels.
As for Kizaru, it seemed he hadn't returned from Dressrosa yet.
And Doflamingo also didn't seem to have been caught.
He noticed that not all the Shichibukai were present—Gekko Moriah was nowhere to be seen, and Empress Hancock naturally hadn't come. The Empress was a very busy person now; the matter with Rebecca hadn't finished yet, and the factory was already on the right track, with millions of orders every day.
Among the Shichibukai, only Hawkeye Mihawk and Kuma the Tyrant had arrived.
At this moment, "Hawkeye" Mihawk stood alone on the edge of the Marine formation, his sharp golden eyes fixed on Whitebeard's figure, clearly having come only to challenge the "World's Strongest Man."
In contrast, Whitebeard's side had forty-three Pirate ships covering the entire sea area, each ship filled with notorious fierce Pirates from the New World.
The fourteen captains of the Whitebeard Pirates lined up: Marco, Jozu, Flower Sword Vista, Ice Witch Whitey Bay, Blenheim, etc. Just looking at the numbers, the Marines were indeed at a disadvantage.
"Things don't look good..."
On the execution platform, Fleet Admiral Sengoku's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
He hadn't expected Whitebeard to arrive so quickly, nor had he expected the opponent to actually gather such a vast force.
If a full-scale war broke out, even if the Marines could win, they would inevitably pay a heavy price.
He clenched his fists, his gaze sweeping over Ace, who was bound by Sea Stone chains on the execution platform. At this moment, he felt a little hesitant...
Just then, Akainu snorted coldly and stood up, "Mere Pirates dare to attack Marineford head-on?" Magma surged on his fist, emitting terrifying high temperatures.
Just as Akainu's giant magma fist was about to strike, Sengoku suddenly raised his hand to stop him, "Wait!"
The Fleet Admiral's pupils suddenly contracted, his sharp gaze locked onto the sea area on the other side of Marineford—there, a giant, ferocious-looking Pirate ship was breaking through the waves, a fierce dragon skull symbol painted on its black sail.
"That is..."
Before Sengoku could finish speaking, an earth-shattering dragon roar suddenly echoed through the sky!
A blue lightning bolt shot up from the ship, transforming into a hundred-zhang giant dragon under everyone's horrified gaze.
The massive dragon body covered the sky and the sun, every scale shimmering with a metallic cold light, four dragon claws stepping on fiercely burning flame clouds. The terrifying aura made the entire sea area tremble!
"Kaido!!!" Sengoku shouted, his brow furrowed, cold sweat instantly seeping from his forehead. He never expected that this execution war would attract a second Four Emperors!
Staff Officer Tsuru, standing beside the execution platform,'s face changed drastically. She quickly analyzed the situation: "Two Four Emperors appearing at the same time... even with the Shichibukai, our chances of winning are..." She didn't finish her sentence, but her trembling fingertips already revealed the shock in her heart.
Garp crushed the senbei in his hand with a 'crunch,' the smile completely disappearing from his face.
He looked at Ace on the execution platform with complex eyes. This disobedient kid insisted on following the path of a Pirate, and now he, a Marine hero, had to watch his grandson be executed...
"Damn it..." Garp's fists clenched, making cracking sounds, his gaze turning towards the giant dragon circling in the air, "What is this Kaido guy here for?"
The giant dragon in the sky let out a deafening roar, the sound waves stirring up monstrous waves. In the direction of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco transformed into his Phoenix form and soared into the air, vigilantly staring at this uninvited guest.
On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard narrowed his eyes, "Kaido... what are you, you bastard, joining the fun for?"
After circling in the air, the giant dragon suddenly swooped down towards Marineford!
Sengoku's face changed dramatically, and he immediately shouted, "All hands, prepare for battle!"
The entire Marineford instantly fell into unprecedented chaos.
The Marine formation was in an uproar, soldiers' hands holding their guns trembling slightly. The oppressive feeling brought by that massive blue giant dragon covering the sky made many new recruits' legs tremble uncontrollably.
"Maintain the formation! Don't panic!" Akainu roared, his magma-like fists already poised to strike.
But to everyone's surprise, Kaido made a sharp turn in the air, his huge dragon body stirring up violent air currents, and swooped down towards the Whitebeard Pirates!
"Heat Breath—!"
The giant dragon opened its blood-red mouth, scorching flames condensing into a dazzling ball of light in its throat, and then a pillar of fiery dragon magma, dozens of meters in diameter, erupted. The air in its path was scorched and distorted!
"Kurararara..." Whitebeard laughed heartily and swung Murakumogiri. A layer of milky white vibration aura instantly covered the blade, "You dare to show off with such a paltry trick?"
With an earth-shattering roar, Murakumogiri, imbued with the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, slashed down fiercely.
Space shattered like glass, and that terrifying pillar of fiery dragon was actually cleaved in half. Scorching magma scattered in all directions, falling into the sea and creating a sky full of steam.
"Hahaha!" Kaido circled in the air, a playful light flickering in his dragon eyes, "Old man Sengoku, do you want me to assist you in a match? I guarantee I'll carry you!" His rough voice was intentionally loud, and his huge dragon tail even wagged provocatively.
Sengoku's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, veins bulging on his forehead.
This damned Kaido always used this joke to mock him every time they met. The last time in matchmaking mode, he was matched with this guy again, and he 'assisted' him loudly in front of the live stream audience, making him so angry he almost exploded on the spot.
"Hmph!" Sengoku suppressed his anger. Now was not the time to dwell on this.
Kaido turned to look at Whitebeard, the expression on his face suddenly turning cold, "Newgate, you're so old you can barely walk, yet you're still playing the hero like a young man?" His voice suddenly lowered, carrying a chilling killing intent, "How about I send you off on your final journey..."
Whitebeard's pupils suddenly contracted, and the hand holding Murakumogiri unconsciously tightened.
Marco immediately transformed into his Phoenix form and soared into the air, Jozu's diamond-like radiance became even more dazzling, and the entire Whitebeard Pirates entered the highest state of alert.
"Interesting..." Whitebeard slowly straightened up, Conqueror's Haki beginning to surge around him, "It seems I'll have to deal with you, this ignorant kid, first today."
