The powerful shockwave blasted everything in the surrounding area into tiny fragments!
THUD!
Accompanied by a deafening crash...
The bodies of Garp and Zephyr were both sent flying backward violently!
And that wasn't all!
Fresh blood trickled from the corners of their mouths!
They were injured!
In stark contrast...
El remained completely unscathed, still floating in the sky, looking calm and relaxed.
As if nothing had happened at all.
Instantly, silence fell over the entire battlefield!
Two of the Navy's most powerful combatants...
Had launched an all-out attack, only to be neutralized effortlessly by El!
In a 1-versus-2 fight, El was the undisputed victor!
"YESSSS!"
"Incredible! Truly worthy of being a legendary pirate!"
"Wow... there is literally no one in the Navy who can stand up to Lord El, not even when they team up!"
The pirates shouted with delight.
They were all filled with adrenaline and overflowing joy.
Their fighting spirit surged even higher, as if they possessed limitless energy.
On the Navy's side, however...
They could barely endure the despair.
Panic and disappointment were written across every face.
Even the two strongest men in the Navy were no match for El.
Twice now, their top-tier forces had launched their best attacks, only to be beaten back by El!
The first time was Akainu and Sengoku — Akainu ended up severely wounded.
The second time was Garp and Zephyr — and now both of them were heavily injured.
Against an opponent like El... how could the Marines possibly continue fighting?
Maybe they should just surrender!
Many sailors, even those holding the rank of Vice Admiral...
Had completely lost the will to fight.
Crocodile gazed up into the sky...
His heart pounding with excitement.
"Yes! It's true! All the rumors were absolutely true!"
El had casually handled two of the world's strongest masters as if it were nothing.
"Gurarararara!"
Even while fighting, Whitebeard witnessed the entire scene.
He mocked Akainu: "Even if you manage to defeat me, it won't make the slightest difference!"
"As long as El stands with us, there is only one possible ending for the Navy..."
"And that is DEFEAT!"
He laughed heartily and without restraint.
He bore many wounds on his body, yet today was the happiest and most satisfying day of Whitebeard's life.
Akainu's face was dark and gloomy; he remained silent!
Deep down, he knew the truth...
The Navy had no reinforcements left!
Every single one of their top-tier combatants was already here on the field.
And El alone had neutralized the actions of four of their strongest fighters.
What else could he possibly do?
Akainu thought for a moment...
Then glanced at Blackbeard.
Catching the look in his eyes, Blackbeard seemed to understand everything instantly.
He nodded subtly in response.
Akainu was looking for an opportunity to kill Ace!
On the surface, the Navy had undoubtedly lost this war.
With El interfering, it was impossible for them to defeat the pirates.
But they still had a chance to turn the tide.
And that chance was Ace!
As long as they killed Ace...
They would have achieved half of their original objective today.
The pirates' morale would surely crumble.
If they could offset the enemy's advantage... there was still a possibility of reversing the situation!
That was Akainu's plan.
Blackbeard understood in a split second as well.
Their only hope now... lay in making a move against Ace.
Suddenly, Akainu roared loudly and unleashed his ultimate technique against Whitebeard.
Massive waves of blazing magma surged toward him!
Whitebeard defended himself using Haki.
But right at this moment!
Blackbeard launched his technique — Dark Water!
He pulled Ace directly toward him with immense force!
Then, grabbing Ace by the body, he leaped away from the fight!
Akainu, who was holding Whitebeard in place, also jumped high up and followed Blackbeard!
Whitebeard's eyes nearly burst from their sockets; his rage was boundless!
A distraction tactic!
Blackbeard and Akainu had coordinated a perfect combo attack...
And succeeded in leaving Ace severely wounded!
"ACEEEE!!!!"
Whitebeard screamed in absolute madness.
He rushed desperately toward Ace...
But he was already injured and blocked by walls of magma...
He simply couldn't reach him in time!
The other pirates also surged forward to help!
But they were too far away!
Too slow!
They stood no chance of catching up!
Countless pirates watched in despair as Ace lay collapsed on the ground...
And saw Blackbeard and Akainu standing over him, ready to deliver the killing blow!
They let out heart-wrenching cries and shouts.
As for Ace himself... his mind went completely blank.
"It's over... all because I wasn't strong enough."
"Now I've dragged Father down, and so many other pirates into this mess..."
"What a regretful way for it to end!"
But at the exact moment when Blackbeard and Akainu's attacks were about to land on Ace...
El appeared right beside him!
"SHINRA TENSEI!"
BOOM!
An invisible wave of energy exploded outward instantly!
Sending both Akainu and Blackbeard flying backward!
