Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

Chapter 489 In this world, conspiracy is no match for violence!

"Ace! I'm here to save you!!"

Luffy stood at the bow of the ship, his booming voice echoing across the battlefield, reaching the execution platform, and earning the ears of Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Garp.

The sight of a massive warship descending from the sky is itself an extremely eye-catching event.

Even in the midst of fierce battle, it attracted the attention of a large number of pirates and marines.

As Luffy's energetic and thunderous shout resounded across the battlefield, all eyes turned to him.

Both sides in the war were astonished to discover that this ship was home to so many notorious pirates.

Former Shichibukai Crocodile, the "Sand Crocodile"; current Shichibukai Jinbe, the "Knight of the Sea"; Ivankov, the "Queen of the Ivankov" from the Revolutionary Army; and the Supernova Luffy, the "Straw Hat"!

In addition, they were followed by a large group of criminals who had escaped from Impel Down, each of them a vicious and bloodthirsty individual.

"Garp, it's your grandson again!!" Fleet Admiral Sengoku was about to go crazy, turning to his old buddy and yelling, "Are you even still a Marine?!"

"Why have all your sons and grandsons betrayed the Navy and sided with our enemy?!"

Garp was used to being scolded by Sengoku, so he wasn't angry at all upon hearing this. Instead, he waved his hand modestly as if he were being praised.

He said, "Haha, it's alright, it's alright."

"My grandson is only worth a paltry bounty of a few hundred million; he barely qualifies as my grandson!"

"Damn it! I wasn't praising you!!"

The Warring States Marshal himself was speaking with extreme anger on camera, yet he still maintained a smile on his face.

This made Garp, who had been holding back his frustration for a long time, burst into laughter.

However, Sengoku could tell that Garp's laughter no longer carried the former boldness, but only extreme sorrow and pain.

Xia Zuo also saw Luffy appear; this was the first time he had seen the kid since Luffy set sail.

The Luffy at this moment was completely different from the one he had met three months ago. He was no longer resentful or unwilling, nor did he feel the loneliness of losing his crewmate.

Straw Hat Luffy is full of vigor!

Yes, how could he not be full of vigor?

In just two months, he made several loyal friends, acquired his own new ship, and became a world-famous pirate, known as a supernova.

He swiftly defeated the Seven Warlords of the Sea, stormed Enies Lobby, breached Impel Down, and gathered two more Seven Warlords.

The sea, the Revolutionary Army, and a group of escaped pirates.

Luffy now has a team that is absolutely second to none below the Four Emperors.

"Tsk, just thinking that this guy is the son of a dragon and the grandson of Garp would drive Fleet Admiral Sengoku crazy!" Xia Zuo couldn't help but complain, "His ability to cause trouble is truly remarkable!"

"Damn it, I was so excited when I watched the anime, but now that I'm a Marine myself, this feeling of utter frustration is really strange."

"Forget it, let Fleet Admiral Sengoku and old man Garp worry about this kid. Even if the Fleet Admiral goes crazy, his target will only be Garp, not me."

Luffy's arrival completely disrupted the battlefield. At this moment, the pirates had already stormed into the plaza and were engaged in a fierce battle with the Marines, but their offensive momentum had clearly slowed down.

Due to his physical condition, Whitebeard was no longer suitable for high-intensity combat and could only stand on the Moby Dick, facing off against Sengoku on the execution platform.

The pirates were only able to gain this advantage when both sides' commanders didn't participate, the three admirals of the Navy were slacking off, the seven warlords of the Sea were not putting in their full effort, and even secretly attacked the Navy.

Although the Whitebeard Pirates numbered 5 and the Navy had assembled over 10 elite troops, the pirates' goal was not to defeat the Navy, but merely to rescue Ace.

If they can break through the execution platform, they can make the navy taste defeat.

However, the situation was still far from ideal. The efforts of Xia Zuo and his 77th branch alone were enough to prevent the pirates from making any breakthroughs and from advancing further.

Only then, with Luffy leading the new generation of pirates, advancing recklessly on the battlefield, did the pirate army regain its momentum and continue its advance.

It was at this moment that Fleet Admiral Sengoku, having suffered the greatest humiliation, made up his mind. He picked up the phone and issued the order for the final battle: "The pirates will not be sending any new reinforcements. Plan 'Encirclement Wall' activated!!"

At his command, a hidden naval captain turned on the power switch.

Below the plaza, the machinery of the Naval Headquarters turned, and one huge gear after another meshed and propelled the defensive iron wall hidden deep in the seawater, pushing aside the ice layer one by one, rising steadily and unshakably.

The scientific force meticulously constructed an iron wall that reached a height of fifty meters and a thickness of over ten meters. The walls were interlocked and formed an airtight cage, completely enclosing the square and harbor.

No, it can't be considered completely airtight.

Little Oz's body was pressed against an iron wall; his enormous weight exceeded the mechanical load-bearing capacity, making it impossible for him to rise.

Besides this gap, there was also the harbor entrance at Marineford, which had to be abandoned because construction was not possible.

But that's alright, the Warring States Marshal had already prepared a plan to deal with it.

He looked at Admiral Borsalino: "Kizaru!"

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal!!"

Borsalino stood up from his seat, raised his hands high, and fired a dazzling laser beam.

The Warring States Marshal revealed his second trump card—the Naval Science Unit!

Dozens of Shichibukai, including the Tyrant Kuma, marched in perfect unison, their thunderous footsteps echoing as they reached the port entrance, cutting off the breach in the iron wall surrounding the pirates and blocking their retreat.

This is certainly not a bear, but an artificial human modeled after the Tyrant Bear, named the Pacifista.

The Pacifistas possess the steel body of a bear, the laser attacks of Kizaru, and other powerful scientific weapons, and upon their arrival, they unleashed dazzling lasers at the pirates.

The beam swept across the latter half of the battlefield, inflicting heavy losses on the pirates in the blink of an eye.

The explosion triggered by the laser seemed to be a signal.

On the city wall, black firing ports opened, revealing cannon barrels as thick as those of naval guns, aiming at the pirates below and firing immediately.

A barrage of explosions covered the battlefield, flames burst forth one after another, followed by billowing smoke.

The cannons on the iron wall were completely different from the previous coastal defense cannons. They were located at a very high altitude and had no entrances or exits, so the pirates could not climb up at all.

At this moment, the feeling of being surrounded and completely on the defensive destroyed the pirates' fighting spirit. These disorganized and undisciplined guys only had one thought in their minds: to escape.

There were only two directions to escape: one was the harbor's outlet to the sea, and the other was the breach that Little Oz had created.

However, the sight of dozens of Shichibukai blocking the breach was terrifying. The fearless pirates gasped in horror upon seeing the Pacifistas and then turned tail and ran.

One Shichibukai is scary enough, let alone dozens.

So the pirates rushed frantically toward the last gap.

The Sengoku commander then looked at General Kuzan, who was in charge of Aokiji: "Aokiji!"

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal!!"

Kuzan also stood up, raised his hands, and unleashed two terrifying freezing rays, instantly creating an even thicker ice wall at the breach.

Now, their last escape route was gone, and the pirates were completely surrounded with nowhere to go.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku finally shouted to Admiral Sakazuki, "Akainu! Don't let a single one escape!"

Upon receiving the order, Sakas, who had long been unable to suppress his murderous intent and wanted to kill all the pirates, stood up. His raised arms twisted and turned into scalding hot magma of mixed black and red, constantly bubbling out.

The scalding lava dripped onto the ground, instantly raising the temperature in the air. A wave of heat radiated outwards from Akainu, and the hard bluestone bricks melted into liquid in the blink of an eye, with the area still expanding.

Akainu sneered, "Whitebeard Pirates, this is a fireworks display specially prepared by the Navy to celebrate your funeral!"

Meteor Volcano

Akainu let out a low roar, and lava surged out like a fountain, blasting towards the sky.

The lava automatically coalesced into a sphere, trailing a long black plume of smoke, and shot into the sky before plummeting towards the ice field.

The fireball struck the ice, unleashing an explosion even more terrifying than a cannonball. The lava from the explosion emitted intense heat, melting the ice into circular craters.

Under the influence of the lava, the water in the pool, even boiling water, continuously melts the surrounding ice layer, expanding its area.

The once solid ice field quickly turned back into a sea harbor under Sakazuki's attack, and countless pirates fell into the sea.

One of the strangest things about the world of One Piece is that powerful pirates eat Devil Fruits, and those who eat Devil Fruits will drown if they come into contact with seawater.

water.

Pirates drowning—that's actually quite funny.

But the Warring States general targeted this very point and set up this elaborate trap.

First, have Admiral Aokiji freeze the sea surface, forcing the pirates off their ship to fight on the ice field.

Then, they raised a huge wall to surround all the pirates, leaving them with nowhere to escape.

Finally, Admiral Akainu melted the ice field, causing the pirates to fall into the sea and drown.

When everything was revealed, Whitebeard finally understood Sengoku's plan and realized just how vicious the trap targeting his pirate crew was—it was meant to wipe out his entire family.

Whitebeard's eyes were bloodshot. He raised his large naginata and paused sharply, finally deciding to disregard his physical condition and personally join the battle.

He may not be a match for the Warring States period in terms of intellect, but would I be afraid of him in terms of combat?

But melting the ice wasn't the final step in Sengoku's plan, and he looked at Admiral Akainu again.

Sakazuki nodded, took out a specially made Den Den Mushi, and dialed the number.

One minute later, Squard, the captain of the Whirlpool Spider Pirates, boarded the Moby Dick and, taking advantage of Whitebeard's absolute trust in him, successfully ambushed Whitebeard with his giant sword.

This incredibly ugly and even more dim-witted idiot was turned by Sakazuki through lies and launched a fatal blow against Whitebeard.

This is the final piece of the plan for the strategist Sengoku to annihilate the Whitebeard Pirates.

A decisive blow.

Whitebeard's love for his sons was truly unconditional; even with a giant knife stuck in his stomach, he patiently inquired about Squard's reasons for attacking him.

After learning the whole story, Whitebeard didn't blame him. Instead, he hugged him and sincerely said the most heartfelt words of fatherly love: "Silly son, even so, I still love you!"

Squard finally realized he had been deceived. Overwhelmed with pain and remorse, he wept bitterly on the battlefield, but the mistake had been made and there was no chance to undo it.

Whitebeard released Squard, pulled the greatsword from his abdomen, strode off his warship, and charged toward Marineford, sword in hand.

At this point, Whitebeard was no longer afraid.

His previous reluctance to participate in combat wasn't due to fear of the navy.

Whitebeard was worried that his body wouldn't be able to hold up and that he might suddenly fall ill and die on the battlefield. If that happened, the Whitebeard Pirates wouldn't be able to continue, which is why he hesitated to take action.

Just like an adult facing a vicious dog, it's because they're afraid of being bitten and getting hurt, not because they're afraid of not being able to fight off the vicious dog.

When a man is actually bitten, his worst fears have come true, and he will let go of all his worries, pin the vicious dog to the ground, and strangle it to death.

Now that Whitebeard was fatally wounded and doomed, he abandoned his last concerns.

Xia Zuo sensed the white-bearded man's intentions and became alert, quickly leading his men to the right side of the battlefield.

"Guhahaha!" Whitebeard's hearty laughter echoed across the battlefield: "Navy, you want my head? I'm right here, come and take it!!"

"I think it's time to put an end to this!"

Before he finished speaking, the white-bearded man raised his large naginata high and then slammed it down onto the ground.

The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was poured into the Great Naginata without reservation, and an incredibly terrifying power erupted from the blade.

This time, unlike the initial probing when it first appeared, the power of the shockwave has increased at least tenfold!

The wind howled, dust swirled, and cracks spread outwards along the blade, causing the sturdy island, built and maintained by the navy for over a century, to tremble.

The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, focused through the tip of the blade, carries spatial distortions, cracks, and ripples, continuously flowing into the depths of the island, accumulating and transforming into a massive earthquake.

When Whitebeard no longer held back and unleashed his full power, the strongest man on the sea displayed his peak combat strength, turning the terrifying legend of destroying islands into reality.

The sturdy Marineford appeared so fragile during the earthquake; tall walls collapsed, and huge cracks spread through the walls and foundation.

Under the incredulous gaze of the Navy, the Naval Headquarters building collapsed with a deafening roar as the earth trembled and the ground cracked.

Marineford was destroyed.

He didn't stop after destroying Marineford's white beard with a single blow; he swung his great naginata again, slashing at the iron wall.

boom!!

The ice wall that General Aokiji had frozen shattered into fragments all over the ground, and even the thick iron walls on both sides twisted and collapsed amidst the tremors.

The escape route has been cleared.

The tone of the One Piece world is that intrigue can't overcome violence!
