The movements on Drake's side were too big, attracting everyone's attention. Then everyone saw the disheveled Akainu.
Half of Akainu's body had turned into magma form, the billowing black smoke that emerged obscured half the sky, and the pungent smell of sulfur permeated the air.
And his human-shaped half of the body showed his terrible state.
His hat had long since flown off to who knows where or been burned to ashes, and there were large burns on his forehead and face.
Only the "Justice" character remained on his justice coat, the lower half having disappeared.
His neat suit was also destroyed beyond recognition, the rose pinned to his chest having long since turned to carbon ash along with the clothes, revealing the solid muscles underneath, but they were also covered in scorched marks.
Back then, Kaido was seriously injured after eating Drake's Dragon Slayer Secret Art, let alone Akainu.
However, a marine admiral was still a marine admiral. Akainu stubbornly stood up, still looking stiffly at Drake, not showing any signs of admitting defeat.
...
Seeing this scene, Whitebeard laughed loudly, and then pointed his naginata towards the top of the execution platform and said, "Sengoku, Garp, it's about time we old friends formally greeted each other!"
Sengoku's mood was now extremely bad. The 100,000 elite marines did gain some advantage, but they couldn't completely determine the outcome of the war.
And the vice admirals' battles with the Whitebeard Pirates' squad commanders and affiliated captains had wins and losses, with the pirate side even gaining the upper hand.
What was most unbelievable was that the Navy's strongest trump card, the three admirals, were all held back, unable to break free and change the current situation.
Rayleigh was one thing, but how could that pair of young men and women who looked to be less than twenty years old suppress the marine admirals!
And this led to the Supreme Commander of the pirates, Whitebeard, actually easily arriving at the front lines to challenge him to battle.
But in any case, the severity of the situation couldn't be denied.
Sengoku turned his head to look at Garp, who was sitting on the other side of Ace, and Garp also stood up, reaching out and directly tearing off the justice coat on his body.
"Garp, you...!"
Garp clenched his fist, interrupting Sengoku, saying, "I know, I'm also a marine, so I certainly won't hesitate at this time."
Sengoku also smiled, and also tore off his coat, saying, "When was the last time we fought together?"
Garp casually said, "I don't remember such things anymore!"
Sengoku said, "The opponent is that Whitebeard, don't be careless!
But I didn't expect things to develop to this extent. Old friend, accompany me to send Whitebeard off on his final journey, and completely end this war!"
That's right, this was the last and most direct strategy that Sengoku could think of now. As long as they defeated Whitebeard, they would naturally obtain the final victory.
Saying this, Sengoku directly disappeared from the execution platform. The next second, he appeared above Whitebeard, and at the same time, his body instantly swelled, with gold covering his body.
"Impact Wave!"
Transforming into a golden Buddha, Sengoku used the momentum of falling to slap down with his palm, and a transparent sphere spread out from his palm. That was a shockwave comparable to the shelling of the largest caliber artillery.
The marine headquarters fleet admiral Sengoku, in addition to being a strategist, was better known as Buddha Sengoku.
The Human-Human Fruit, Model: Great Buddha that he ate allowed the ability user to obtain power, wisdom, and spirit like a Buddha.
The giant body like a Buddha combined with a clever mind and perfect skills allowed the ability user to become the ultimate person who combined mind, body, and technique.
In Drake's view, in terms of excavating one's own potential, the effect of this fruit was absolutely unmatched.
Sengoku's slap seemed simple, but it used extremely superb physical skills, which created such a powerful shockwave.
But such a powerful strike, Whitebeard looked uninterested, but his movements weren't slow at all, a pearly white light shield appeared on his fist, directly punching out.
Glass-shattering-like marks appeared in the air, just blocking the shockwave that Sengoku had slapped down.
"Gurara! Sengoku, you're still so energetic even at your age!"
Whitebeard said this, posing in a defensive stance. Sengoku, who had landed on the ground, also looked at him and said, "You're the same! But how long can that old body of yours last?"
Whitebeard snorted coldly and said, "At least long enough to defeat you."
While the two were talking, the whistling sound of air being torn apart rang out. A burly figure fell down against the sunlight.
"Galaxy Impact!"
The black fist, wrapped in Armament Haki, filled Whitebeard's vision. That was Garp's famous iron fist.
Whitebeard became slightly more serious, the muscles on his arm bulging high, swinging his naginata to slash.
Boom!
Whitebeard's feet both sank into the ground, which showed how heavy the force of this punch was.
"Garp, your fist is still so powerful, you old bastard!"
Whitebeard swung his naginata, pushing Garp away. Garp, who had landed beside Sengoku, looked at him with burning eyes and said, "Let's leave the small talk here! In any case, the Navy can't lose this war."
Whitebeard gripped the hilt of his naginata with both hands and said, "You'll say such boring things too. But to say you'll win against me, I'm Whitebeard!"
Conqueror's Haki was released wildly, making the faces of the two marine veterans even more serious.
The next second, the last three remaining figures from the previous era who could be called legends collided together, and the entire Marineford seemed to shake with just one collision.
The war had reached its climax as a result, but most of those caught up in the battle forgot what was most crucial in this war.
Of course, some people remembered the ultimate goal.
Whitebeard was stopped by Garp and Sengoku, halting his advance, but at the same time, the last obstacle on the execution platform had also disappeared.
And the other two points of the trident had already arrived below the execution platform.
Ace was already within Little Oars' reach, so he raised his hand and grabbed for him.
"Don't even think about it!"
Several giant vice admirals rushed up together, directly knocking Little Oars down and also holding down his arms.
Although Little Oars flung off the giant vice admiral who was hugging his arm, his body was still held tightly and he couldn't move.
Although Little Oars was blocked, Luffy had also arrived below the execution platform on the other side.
"Zoro!"
Hearing Luffy's call, Zoro tacitly braced his long sword, and Luffy directly jumped up, using Zoro's strength to fly towards the execution platform.
But marine vice admiral Dalmatian appeared halfway, using Moonwalk and a Finger Pistol to knock Luffy out of the air.
Just then, Sanji suddenly appeared in the direction where Luffy was falling, raising his leg to just catch Luffy and then send him up again.
"Thanks, Sanji!"
Luffy smiled, and then charged towards Dalmatian again.
"Get out of my way! Gum-Gum... Rocket!"
The protagonist's halo shone again, Luffy's fist was dyed black with Armament Haki, directly hitting the caught-off-guard Dalmatian.
Although Dalmatian wasn't seriously injured, his Moonwalk was also interrupted and he fell headfirst.
But Luffy also began to fall because he had used up his momentum. But he still had reliable companions.
Merry, having shed his armor, flew over using a jetpack that he had alchemized behind him, catching Luffy and taking him directly to the execution platform.
When Luffy used the key that Merry had temporarily alchemized to unlock Ace's seastone handcuffs, it meant that the war had entered a new phase.
