While everyone was well aware that Mihawk and the other two hadn't used their full strength, Drake's ability to end the battle so quickly proved his power.
In contrast to the pirates' triumphant advance, Sengoku could truly say he was experiencing what it meant to be utterly overwhelmed.
On the main battlefield, the rampaging Whitebeard, although the last to enter the battle, had bulldozed his way through and was actually the closest to the execution platform.
If Little Oars, Luffy, and Whitebeard were like a trident, then Whitebeard was the protruding point in the middle. And that point had now stabbed to below the execution platform.
To break this trident, absolute high-end combat power was needed, and this task could only be entrusted to admiral-level people.
Sengoku looked in another direction, where Kizaru was fiercely battling Rayleigh.
Sengoku understood Rayleigh's power very well. It was already quite difficult for Kizaru to hold him back and prevent him from intervening in the battlefield...
Although he understood this principle very well, he couldn't help but feel that Kizaru was slacking off.
He couldn't count on Kizaru, so he could only rely on the other two to change the situation.
And Akainu and Aokiji also realized this, charging towards Whitebeard together without Sengoku's instructions.
In front of the world's strongest man, even a marine headquarters admiral showing off the pride of a strong person was no different from arrogance.
So the two, who were usually at odds, chose to join forces.
"Ice Block: Pheasant Beak!"
"Hound Blaze: Guren!"
A giant ice bird and a magma hound pounced on Whitebeard from two directions, and Whitebeard also clenched his fist, intending to shatter these two attacks together with his ability.
But before he could make a move, an accident happened.
Several fire dragons appeared out of thin air, directly biting the flying ice bird and tearing it to pieces.
And the magma hound was also smashed to pieces by Drake, who was covered in flames, with a single punch!
Whitebeard also had a sense of the changing times, the younger generation was beginning to show their excellent strength.
The attacks launched by the two marine admirals, Aokiji and Akainu, targeting him were actually blocked so easily.
But it was quite a coincidence, these two young people, like his captured foolish son, both fought with flames.
And it seemed like they were even more skilled at using flames than Ace, the Flare-Flare Fruit user!
"Gurara!"
Whitebeard slammed his naginata into the ground, looking at Drake, who had landed in front of him, and said, "You two brats, I haven't weakened to the point where I need your help!"
Drake said, "We did receive a reward after all, so we have to do some work.
Besides, those two old men on the execution platform are the more troublesome ones. I'm already slacking off."
Whitebeard laughed heartily and said, "You're a truly interesting brat. Are you interested in coming aboard my ship and becoming my son?"
Drake smiled and said, "Please forgive me for refusing. I already have a father who couldn't be more qualified!"
Whitebeard raised his Murakumogiri and said, "That's truly a pity, but you can't be absent from the banquet after the war!"
Just as the two were talking, a large amount of magma pounced over, Akainu had arrived on the battlefield.
Drake cracked his knuckles, and flames surged back, blocking the rampaging magma.
Whitebeard grinned, punching out and blasting away a group of marines charging up, and then strode towards the execution platform.
On the other side, frost spread across Aokiji's face, and a mouthful of cold air came out from the corner of his mouth.
"Ice Time Capsule!"
Ice shards emerged from the ground in a straight line, directly spreading towards Whitebeard.
But this path of frost was shattered by Stella with a single kick, and the cold air that could freeze everything was instantly dispelled by the flames that Stella wielded.
Aokiji was still shocked that a girl actually had such tyrannical strength, and Stella had already charged over like a tyrant, brutally slashing with the Hiryū Tsume-tsuki.
Aokiji created an ice saber, directly blocking Stella's slash. However, Stella's wrist strength still exceeded his expectations. He couldn't imagine how such slender arms could have such strong power.
This led to him, a marine admiral, actually being at a disadvantage in this collision.
Although Aokiji, like Kizaru, was lazy and disorganized, he would occasionally get serious... like at times like these.
Holding the sword with both hands, Aokiji forced Stella back, and flames and ice began to clash.
Drip...!
Dark red magma passed through the wall of fire, dripping on the ground, making a chilling sound. Akainu, covered in magma, walked over step by step.
"A brat who popped up from who knows where, you're out of luck! Your ability is fire, and my ability is magma that can burn all fire to ashes!"
Drake indifferently said, "Is that so? Then come and try burning my flames!"
"Flame God Dragon's Crushing Fist!"
"Dark Hound!"
Neither of the two intended to communicate with the other, directly choosing to attack.
Dark red flames and magma collided fiercely, a grim expression appearing on Akainu's cold face.
The reality wasn't as he said. His magma didn't burn Drake's flames. On the contrary, his magma began to turn into nothingness within Drake's flames.
Magma and flames didn't have any superior or inferior relationship to begin with. The reason why Akainu could burn Ace's body was entirely because his level of ability development was far stronger than Ace's.
And for Drake, who had comprehended the essence of fire and absorbed the flames of Ignia, mere magma was only fit to be a dessert.
With a bang, flames and magma exploded at the same time, turning the surroundings into a purgatory.
Akainu retreated far away, magma splattering everywhere. But Drake had already chased after him, punching out.
"Didn't you say you were going to burn my flames? Try it again!"
Although in his previous life many people thought that Akainu, who was the only one who was serious in the Marineford War, was firm in his position and worthy of praise, after he destroyed the refugee ship of Ohara, absolute justice was no longer related to justice.
The Navy was of course the World Government's violent organization. From this point of view, there was nothing wrong with Akainu's approach of maintaining the World Government's rule at all costs, but the problem was that he shouldn't use so-called justice as an excuse.
So in Drake's eyes, Akainu was just a butcher with blood on his hands, and he had no intention of admiring his steadfast heart.
Naturally, Drake's fist wouldn't be polite.
"Don't be too arrogant! How could you, who is helping pirates, defeat us who are backed by justice!"
"Great Eruption!"
Just as Drake hated what he was saying, so in the face of the giant magma fist that was blasting over, Drake directly counterattacked with all his strength.
"Dragon Slayer Secret Art - Crimson Lotus Explosive Flame Blade!"
Drake converged all the flames, throwing it all out in one go.
Akainu's pupils constricted, because he saw his magma fist collapsing from the center, with flames spreading out from within.
And then, in an instant, the flames completely broke through the magma and crashed into his body.
"Then let's see if that justice of yours, stained with the blood of innocents, is strong enough!"
