"This can't go on…"
"If this keeps up, that bastard will completely cut off our escape route…"
One captain frowned tightly, looking cautiously at Jovian behind them.
For these pirates, the situation before them was now wolves in front and a tiger behind.
It was extremely unfavorable. If nothing changed, it would be very difficult for them to successfully rescue Ace and then retreat in one piece.
Although the moment they came to Marine Headquarters, they had already resolved to give everything they had, even if it meant draining every drop of blood in their bodies, resolve was resolve. When truly faced with a desperate situation, they still felt powerless and afraid.
"Captain, what do we do?"
On the icebreaker, several pirates asked their captain, who was as beautiful and moving as a snowflake.
"We have to open a path for our comrades!"
After thinking for a moment, that beautiful captain made her decision.
"Ram him with the icebreaker…"
The beautiful captain, who had a pair of stunning long legs and a tall, slender figure, drew the blade at her waist and pointed it at Jovian, who was slaughtering everyone in all directions, then shouted loudly.
"Oh!"
After receiving their captain's order, the pirates shouted excitedly one after another. They drove the warship beneath them and charged toward Jovian.
"Boom!"
As countless pieces of incomparably hard ice were shattered by the icebreaker, the ship rapidly advanced toward Jovian.
"Hm?"
Jovian sensed the movement and naturally noticed the icebreaker coming toward him.
"Mr. J-Jovian, the ship is coming straight at us…"
The Marine staying beside Jovian, responsible for recording the enemies Jovian killed, looked at the icebreaker rapidly charging toward them and shouted in shock, then hid behind Jovian.
"Pathetic!"
Jovian glanced at the Marine behind him, then walked directly in front of the icebreaker and stretched out his arm.
"Boom!"
Along with a roar that echoed through half of Marineford, and countless sprays of ice flying everywhere, the unstoppable icebreaker was stopped by Jovian with one hand.
"Ah…"
"Thud…"
The Marine who saw this shocking scene was so frightened that he sat down directly on the ice, staring at Jovian in disbelief.
"Who do you think I am? How could I get knocked away by a mere icebreaker?"
Jovian glanced at the Marine beneath him and spoke calmly.
At that moment, in the New World's Totto Land…
A handsome man watching the broadcast widened his eyes.
"Mama! Mama!"
"I want to learn that!"
The handsome man had an orange-yellow body and a muscular build. After seeing Jovian stop a warship with one hand, his eyes widened completely. This was way too cool.
"…"
Beside this handsome man, a man with a scarf around his neck and scarlet eyes looked at the foolish little brother beside him. After thinking for a while, he shook his head. Although he had not used his future-sight Observation Haki, he had already seen the future, the embarrassing ending his foolish little brother would face.
"…"
As for the existence this man called "Mama," she was currently staring silently at the scene in the broadcast, waiting for an opportunity to act.
Back at Marineford…
"Ice Witch Whitey Bay."
Jovian glanced at the woman with the lovely face aboard the icebreaker, Ice Witch Whitey Bay. She was a female pirate who had been famous on the sea for decades. Although she was no longer young, her elegance remained. She truly proved the old saying, beauty lies in the bones, not the skin.
"Captain, we're finished…"
"That guy is going to kill us…"
The pirates aboard the icebreaker looked at Jovian's incomparably cold eyes and trembled in fear. They seemed to have already seen the scene of Jovian slaughtering everyone and trampling them all to death.
"Forget it. I'll spare you this time."
Jovian stared at Whitey Bay for quite a while, then decided to show great mercy and spare her. After all, he was not someone who destroyed flowers with a ruthless hand.
"What did that guy say?"
"He said he'll spare us?"
"Great…"
"We survived…"
When the pirates heard that, they slowly let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, they rejoiced inwardly that following a beautiful captain really was a good thing.
"Boom!"
However, before those pirates could fully relax, Jovian suddenly swung a fist at the icebreaker before him.
Along with a wave of scorching air, Jovian's fist truly landed on the enormous icebreaker before him.
"Boom!"
With an ear-piercing roar, the entire icebreaker was instantly destroyed cleanly by Jovian.
"What?!"
The pirates on the ship fell into the seawater beneath the broken ice like dumplings dropping into a pot, one after another, their senses stimulated by the icy cold.
"Didn't you say you'd spare us? How can you go back on your word?!"
The pirates who fell into the seawater questioned Jovian.
"What kind of bullshit are you talking about?"
"I did say I'd spare your lives, but I never said I wouldn't send you to Impel Down!"
Jovian looked at the pirates before him and spoke with disdain.
"You bastard…"
A few pirates seemed angered by Jovian's provocative words and spoke in resentment.
"Boom!"
Jovian casually pinched up a fragment of the shattered icebreaker from the ground and threw it at those resentful pirates. The terrifying force directly blasted a huge splash nearly fifty meters high across the surface of the water.
"Don't make me regret my decision, small fry…"
Jovian looked at the pirates who had been knocked unconscious by the fragment he had casually thrown and spoke with disdain.
"…"
After doing all that, Jovian turned around and looked at the three Whitebeard-allied pirate captains preparing to ambush him.
"Don't get too arrogant. Let us show you the strength of Whitebeard's sons!"
A man with two black mustaches and a rapier capable of releasing lightning roared and slashed toward Jovian.
"What the hell is this?"
Jovian faced the rapier before him and threw out a punch.
"Bzzzt…"
"Snap."
The instant the lightning-wrapped rapier collided with Jovian's fist, the flashing rapier shattered instantly. At the same time, Jovian's fist landed in the mustached man's stomach.
"Pfft…"
With a spray of flying ketchup, Jovian's fist directly pierced through the mustached man's stomach.
"Damn it…"
Even after having a hole punched through his stomach, the mustached man still held on and planned to strike Jovian with the broken sword in his hand.
"Don't waste your strength, old man!"
"The times have changed!"
Jovian pulled his hand out of the mustached man's abdomen. At the same time, he seized the broken sword in the man's hand and threw it toward another Whitebeard-allied captain beside him.
"Pfft…"
With the sound of a sharp weapon entering flesh, the Whitebeard-allied captain who had been preparing to help the mustached man received a hole in his chest matching Whitebeard's original-story style.
"Captain A.O. and Captain McGuy have been defeated!"
The little Marine behind Jovian hurriedly recorded the scene before him.
"And then…"
After easily dealing with those two captains, Jovian looked at the last member of the trio that had tried to ambush him.
"Uh…"
It was an incomparably fat woman. At this moment, she was trembling as she looked at Jovian. Clearly, she had been shocked by Jovian's combat power.
"Well, actually…"
The fat woman opened her mouth, which had only a few teeth left, and revealed a smile that made Jovian feel incomparably disgusted. At the same time, she gently flirted, showing off her fat body.
The fat woman had previously seen that Jovian had not attacked Ice Witch Whitey Bay. She had misjudged Jovian's personality and mistakenly thought Jovian definitely would not attack her either.
"…"
Jovian fell silent. He felt as if his heart had become clogged.
"Bzzzt…"
Scorching vision instantly burst from Jovian's eyes and mercilessly fell upon the fat woman's body before him.
For a moment, the world became peaceful.
"Whitebeard-allied captain Elmy has been defeated!"
The Marine behind Jovian no longer needed Jovian's instructions. He naturally recorded Jovian's impressive battle achievement before him.
"Phew…"
After dealing with Elmy, Jovian turned his head and looked in Hancock's direction.
There was no other way. After seeing something so disgusting, he had to look at something beautiful enough to properly wash his eyes.
"…"
Jovian stared at Hancock for a full ten minutes before finally recovering.
"I'm alive again…"
Jovian rubbed his eyes and began searching for other targets.
"…"
On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, had been paying close attention to the situation before him. He knew Jovian was madly hunting his children. If no one stopped Jovian now, then this battle would ultimately end in a tragic defeat for the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Looks like I have to make a move!"
After thinking for a while, Whitebeard decided to personally take action and stop Jovian.
"Boom!"
Just as Whitebeard was preparing to act, a huge chunk of ice descended from the sky with a roar. On top of the ice was a warship, and surrounding the warship were countless pirates wearing prison uniforms.
"That is…"
Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, who had originally been planning to act, looked at the enormous pirate ship descending from the sky and stopped the motion he was about to make, because from this moment onward, the battle situation was about to change again.
"Wow."
Borsalino looked at the pirate group falling from the sky, his expression somewhat shocked.
"Some troublesome people are here."
Borsalino shook his head, as if he felt the people about to arrive were extremely troublesome and difficult to deal with.
"Those are the Supernovas who should have been locked in Impel Down, along with Warlords of the Sea Jinbe and Sir Crocodile…"
Sengoku looked at the sky with wide eyes, his gaze filled with disbelief.
"Hahaha…"
Compared to everyone else's shock, Jovian was much calmer. This was all part of his plan.
The reason he had not taken the lives of those Supernovas back on the Sabaody Archipelago was precisely so he could earn their bounties again during the Summit War.
After all, Jovian's goal was ten billion.
"Hahahaha…"
Crocodile turned into countless grains of sand and landed on the ground, laughing loudly at everyone.
"Long time no see…"
"Whitebeard!"
Crocodile's eyes were filled with hatred toward Whitebeard. When he looked at Whitebeard, he felt the arm he had lost aching faintly. It was time to settle the grudge between him and Whitebeard.
As Crocodile thought this, his body gradually turned into dust and sand.
"Crocodile! Wait…"
Just as Crocodile was about to ambush Whitebeard, Luffy, who had already drenched his body in water, activated Gear Second and blocked Crocodile.
"Hm?"
Crocodile frowned as he looked at Luffy, who had blocked his attack.
"Straw Hat…"
Crocodile looked at Luffy somewhat unhappily.
"Crocodile, this old guy should be Whitebeard, right?"
"If he's Whitebeard, then I can't let you succeed!"
"If you attack Whitebeard now, Ace will be really sad!"
Luffy glared fiercely at Crocodile and spoke coldly.
"You brat…"
"Forget it. There's no need to rush this…"
Crocodile frowned at Luffy, then lowered his raised arm, temporarily setting aside his hatred for Whitebeard. That was because compared to Whitebeard, there was someone else he wanted to defeat more right now.
The Marines were the common enemy of all pirates.
"We really came to one hell of a place, Killer! Hahaha…"
Kid, dressed in a prison uniform, looked at the Marines and pirates around him and laughed loudly.
"Hahaha…"
"Let's make a real mess of things, Kid!"
When Killer heard that, he held two scythe-like blades that could spin like electric fans and laughed as well.
"It's First Son of the Sea Jinbe, Sir Crocodile, Straw Hat Luffy, Captain Kid, Massacre Soldier Killer, Roar of the Sea Apoo, Gang Bege, Magician Basil Hawkins, Mad Monk Urouge, Red Flag Drake…"
"Two Warlords and eight Supernovas with bounties over one hundred million!"
A Marine looked at the pirates who had arrived and shouted in shock.
"How scary."
"The monsters are here."
Borsalino loosened up his body, ready to strike at any moment.
"Hahaha…"
Jovian also became eager. If he defeated everyone here in one package, he could earn another billion or so.
"Straw Hat…"
"Was it you who led the breakthrough of Impel Down?"
"Damn it. First you destroyed Enies Lobby, then you attacked Impel Down, and now you've come to Marine Headquarters, Marineford!"
"Are you planning to break through the three great fortresses of justice all at once?"
"Garp, look at your good grandson!"
At that moment, Sengoku was incomparably furious. Enies Lobby, Impel Down, and even Marine Headquarters, places that had gone unbreached for eight hundred years, had all been invaded while he was serving as Fleet Admiral. No matter what, after today's battle, he would retire.
"Luffy…"
Garp stared wide-eyed at Luffy, who had descended from the sky. His entire person went blank.
"Luffy…"
Ace clenched his teeth and looked at the younger brother who had suddenly arrived, his body trembling nonstop.
"Ace, I'm coming to you right now!"
Luffy looked at Ace in the distance and shouted loudly. Then he leapt down from the Moby Dick and ran toward the execution platform where Ace was.
"Hey, kid. Long time no see…"
Just as Luffy was running, he heard that incomparably familiar voice beside his ear.
"Jovian?"
Luffy still acknowledged Jovian quite a lot. After all, Jovian had given him meat to eat and even found a way to send him into Impel Down. He really was a good person.
However, when Luffy turned around, what he saw was a leather shoe polished to a glossy shine.
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound, Luffy was directly kicked flying.
