"remember--"

"All the pirates on the island are enemies."

Sakazuki's voice was amplified and carried throughout the bay via a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric telephone).

The molten lava continued to extend forward on the frozen sea surface.

Ice and fire collided violently, sending plumes of white steam rising into the air.

After the lava flowed, it cooled rapidly, forming a hard, black rock layer.

The naval landing force advanced along this makeshift road.

Sakassky set foot on Beehive Island.

The marshal's overcoat billowed in the heat, and lava dripped slowly down his arms, melting reddish holes in the stone slabs at his feet.

"All pirates, lay down your weapons immediately!"

"Otherwise, eliminate them on the spot."

The port was briefly quiet.

Then came even more intense shouting and cursing.

Standing on the ruins of the collapsed building, Blackbeard saw Sakazuki actually land, and his smile widened once more.

"Thief, hahaha!"

"Fleet Admiral!"

Blackbeard waved his one-armed hand at Sakazuki.

"How about we deal with Whitebeard and Redhead together first?"

"Once they're dead, we'll slowly fight over the stone tablet!"

Before he could finish speaking, Sakazuki's right arm had already turned into molten lava.

"Kinniku Guren!"

Crimson magma coalesced into a ferocious giant dog, traversing vast battlefields and biting directly at the ruins where Blackbeard was located.

Blackbeard's expression changed slightly, and he immediately raised his palm.

"Dark acupoints!"

The dark vortex devoured the power at the very center of the magma hound, yet scattered lava still pierced through the darkness, splashing onto the surrounding buildings.

The houses, which had been given life by the Soul Fruit, had just opened their mouths when they were burned through from the front by lava.

Sakazuki stood in the firelight, his expression unchanged.

Don't misunderstand.

"Whitebeard is a pirate."

"Red-haired guy is a pirate."

"You're a pirate too."

Lava continued to rise behind him.

"The Navy doesn't need to choose allies from the trash."

The smile on the black-bearded man's face slowly faded.

He hadn't really expected Sakazuki to agree to cooperate anyway.

They just wanted to make the relationship between the Navy and the Four Emperors even more chaotic in front of the whole world.

But Sakazuki didn't give him a chance to continue performing.

At this moment, the three admirals of the Navy also entered different war zones.

Northern coast.

Kuzan slowly stepped onto Beehive Island along the ice, the biting cold spreading through the rock layers beneath his feet.

The rock walls that were rising in Pizarro were just emerging from the ground when they were completely covered by ice, and the rate of change slowed down rapidly.

"It's so cold!"

"This guy is freezing my body!"

Pizarro's screams echoed from the depths of the island.

The giant face on the mountainside kept twisting, but it couldn't make the frozen rock layers move any further.

Marco did not let his guard down when he saw that Kuzan had temporarily blocked Pizarro's abilities.

The blue phoenix still had flames covering its wings, ready to face the general's attack at any moment.

Above the Southern Underground Prison.

Fujitora slowly pulled out his cane sword.

His Observation Haki covered the entire area.

"Gravity Blade".

An invisible force penetrates deep underground.

Several massive stone pillars that had already begun to break were forcibly held up by gravity from different directions.

The collapsing rock formations also briefly stopped, opening a safe passage for the naval rescue team to the deeper areas.

"Everyone stay close to the signal rope."

"The person inside has very weak life force, don't delay."

As soon as Fujitora finished speaking, several naval rescue teams immediately went underground.

High in the sky.

Borsalino's body transformed into dazzling light.

"The Eight-Foot Jade Curved Jewel".

Countless light projectiles rained down from the night sky, precisely targeting the Homitz battery, watchtower, and communications node.

One tower after another exploded.

Lafitte's video Den Den Mushi deployed on the perimeter were also destroyed, and the live stream of parts of Hive Island was interrupted instantly.

The three admirals of the Navy each entered their respective combat zones. They dismantled the battlefield that Blackbeard had prepared in advance.

Port landing area.

During the Warring States period, the commander of the regular troops had already taken over command.

He quickly gave the order.

"The First and Third Units fired red signal flares."

"Rescue teams are using blue signals."

"Upon discovering an underground passage or stone tablet, immediately use the golden flare."

"All troops are to follow the reserved evacuation routes along the ice surface, and no one is allowed to venture into the center of the island without authorization."

Sengoku, watching the black soul fire rising continuously from the depths of the island, solemnly reminded:

"Don't let Teach lead you by the nose."

"His goal is to make all the forces on the island wear each other down."

"Prioritize saving lives, then confirm the location of the stone tablet."

"No unit is allowed to enter the underground alone."

Back then, the Navy only truly realized the intentions of the various factions after the war had completely spiraled out of control.

This time, Sengoku would not allow the navy to be passively dragged into someone else's plans again.

Blackbeard immediately changed his strategy.

He boarded a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) that had not yet been destroyed and broadcast his voice throughout the island.

"Listen up, citizens of Beehive Island!"

"Kill a rear admiral, and I'll reward him with a whole city block!"

"Capture a warship, and you can become the fleet commander under the Black Emperor!"

The pirates on the island all looked up.

The man with the black beard opened his arms, his voice full of seduction.

"Who can cut off the head of a naval admiral—"

"I'll make him the second most important person in this country!"

Most ordinary pirates know that they have no chance of killing a Marine Admiral.

Despite the hefty reward, many desperate criminals still took a chance.

Moreover, the navy has already frozen the open sea.

You can die even if you don't fight.

More and more pirates raised their swords and spears and charged toward the naval landing area.

"Kill the Navy!"

"This is the land of pirates!"

"To smear the emperor!"

The naval front line quickly raised their shields.

"Fire!"

Gunfire and artillery fire rang out simultaneously.

Pirates at the forefront fell in droves, their blood flowing down the black rock.

But as soon as they stopped breathing, black soul fire reignited in their eye sockets.

The corpse staggered to its feet.

They then continued their advance towards the naval defenses.

"The dead!"

"Shatter the core of their soul fire!"

The naval forces were forced to change their attack methods.

The Whitebeard Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates were both bombarded.

The Navy did not consider them temporary allies simply because the two sides were dealing with Blackbeard.

Joz led his crew to block the Moby Dick, using their diamond-like bodies to withstand the shells.

The bay on the west side.

Beckman continued to order the Red-Haired Pirates to guard the area near the Red Voss.

The originally clear confrontation between the three emperors was quickly divided into dozens of battlefields of different sizes.

Ordinary pirates, driven by bounties and the will to survive, attack anyone who gets in their way.

This was exactly the situation Blackbeard had been waiting for.

The scale of the battle escalated rapidly.

The souls of the dead pirates and marines kept rising from their corpses.

Blackbeard stood on high ground, unleashing the full power of the Soul-Soul Fruit.

A vast number of souls were enveloped in black flames and converged in his direction.

A portion of their souls were thrown into the island's fortifications.

Some of them burrowed into the Legion of the Dead.

The remaining soul was stored within his body to heal Blackbeard's injuries.

Upon seeing this, Sakazuki immediately gave the order.

"Do not leave the bodies of the fallen in Teach's controlled area."

"The rescue team is responsible for the recovery."

Fujitora also raised his cane sword.

An invisible force of gravity swept up the bodies of hundreds of fallen marines, dragging them from the chaotic battlefield back to the naval lines.

Blackbeard didn't care at all.

As long as the war continues, death will not stop.

"Kill them!"

"The more people die—"

"The Black Emperor's army will only grow stronger!"

In the center of the port.

Whitebeard, dragging Murakumogiri along, continued to approach Blackbeard.

But just as he took a few steps forward, a ball of crimson lava crashed down from his side.

boom!

A magma fist slammed down in front of the white-bearded man, forcibly cutting off the path leading to the high platform.

As the molten lava came into contact with the air, large swathes of flame spread along the street.

The white beard lifted up and cut through the clouds.

A transparent vibrating shield covered the blade, which slashed horizontally towards the lava.

The tremor collided head-on with the lava, and scorching debris and white steam exploded in all directions.

Nearby navy and pirates retreated, not daring to get involved in the fight between the two.

"Sakazuki".

The white-bearded man's gaze was icy.

"I have no interest in wasting time with the navy today."

Sakazuki stands on the path formed by magma.

Pirates don't have the right to choose their opponents.

"White beard."

"Surrender!"

Whitebeard gripped the Murakumo-giri tightly.

"Teach's head belongs to me."

Sakazuki's arm turned into lava once again.

"Then let's see if you can get to him alive."

Murakumogiri clashed with the magma fist once more.

The Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki erupted simultaneously, causing large areas of the port ground to shatter.

Taking advantage of the exchange between the two, Blackbeard immediately led Lafitte and retreated towards the center of the island.

Western theater of operations.

Shanks has already cleaved through several rock walls and is getting closer and closer to the high ground where the Road Poneglyphs are located.

A dazzling beam of light suddenly fell from the sky.

Shanks drew Griffin and slashed horizontally, splitting the laser in two from the middle.

The beams of light fell to either side, leaving two deep, scorching ravines in the street.

Borsalino's figure slowly coalesced in mid-air.

"The historical text of the fourth road sign."

"We can't let the pirates take it away so easily!"

Shanks lifted Griffin, the Conqueror's Haki lightning crackling on the blade.

"Then let's see if you can stop them."

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Golden light and black and red lightning erupted simultaneously.

the other side.

Garp led the Marines deeper into the next underground prison.

Along the way, large numbers of dead soldiers rushed out from the rock walls and passageways.

With each step Garp took forward, several dead bodies were smashed to pieces by his fists.

Ace led the Whitebeard Pirates into the underground area from the other side to rescue the trapped civilians and pirates.

The two teams advanced across the constantly changing rock face.

In the center of the island.

Lafitte followed Blackbeard into the castle complex, looking back at the ever-expanding battlefield.

"Admiral."

"Whitebeard, Redhead, and the Navy have all been separated."

The man with the black beard stopped in his tracks.

Whitebeard was stopped at the port by Sakazuki.

Shanks is being held back by Borsalino.

Garp and Fujitora are rescuing people underground.

Kuzan was responsible for blocking Pizarro.

A large number of naval forces were also dispersed to different areas.

No one was Blackbeard's ally, yet everyone was helping him weaken his other enemies.

Blackbeard never needs to take on three opponents at once, nor does he need to defeat anyone immediately.

As long as these powerful individuals continue to fight, the opportunities he awaits will only increase.

"Thief, hahaha!"

"The winner is never the one who is the most capable fighter."

Blackbeard gazed at the sky filled with artillery fire, his smile growing increasingly maniacal.

"But after the war ends—"

"The last person still standing!"

At the same time.

Mary Geoise.

Among the flowers.

The five elders stood in front of five pitch-black magic arrays.

Strange flames kept appearing inside the magic circle, as if it could open a passage across a vast distance at any moment.

On the Void Throne.

Im gazed silently at the Beehive Island in the image.

One of the Five Elders bowed his head and asked:

"Whitebeard, Red-haired, Blackbeard, the three admirals of the Navy, Garp, and Sengoku have all entered the battlefield."

"Will it arrive now?"

Im did not answer immediately.

The round pupils swept across every battlefield on Beehive Island.

The most important people still haven't shown up.

After a while.

Im tilted his head slightly.

"Keep waiting."

The flames within the dark magic circle slowly subsided.

Im gazed at the still partially closed Beehive Island bay.

"In the birdcage—"

There are still seats available.
