Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

After Aokiji froze the giant waves, they were inevitably left high in the sky.

Then, at the suggestion of some 'wise' person, everyone broke the ice under their feet, which led to the scene before us.

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

Luffy looked at Ace on the execution platform from the air and shouted loudly.

The group plummeted rapidly, and as they reached a low altitude, those on the ground could see their faces clearly. Ace was shocked when he recognized Luffy!

Not only him, but Garp also looked incredulous, his eyes almost popping out of his head, snot hanging from his mouth, his hands covering his forehead, and he shouted, "Luffy!"

One can only imagine how many alpacas were spitting in Garp's mind at that moment...

"Garp, it's your grandson again!" Sengoku was also furious. He looked at Garp, who was already sitting on the execution platform, and spat as he spoke.

He hadn't even had a chance to settle accounts with this guy for what happened at Impel Down, and now he's doing it again!

Not long after, Luffy and his crew crashed. Fortunately, the spot where they crashed had been created by Diamond Jozu, leaving the seawater below.

Otherwise, more than half of this team of nearly three hundred people would have perished on the spot...

After a brief farce, Luffy and his crew joined the battle, along with Ivankov and the Impel Down criminals led by Buggy.

Of course, there is another powerful figure, Jinbe, one of the original Seven Warlords of the Sea.

As Ace's friend, after escaping from Infinite Hell, he inevitably encountered Luffy and his crew and chose to help them.

Their appearance only slightly surprised everyone. After a brief silence, the battlefield returned to its lively state, and few people paid any attention to this group.

Just like what Aokiji said to Luffy, this kind of battlefield is still too early for them.

The words may be harsh, but they are the truth.

Of all these people, only Jinbe and Ivankov can truly be considered as having combat power, but their strength is at most mid-level, so their impact is minimal.

The naval leadership was indifferent and didn't bother to pay attention; to them, it wasn't even a variable.

Because these people are too weak right now; their arrival will only add more corpses to the ground and won't change anything else...

And so the great battle continued, with Luffy constantly running towards the execution platform on the battlefield.

Midway through, Akainu subtly left his seat and walked into the alleys of Marineford to find Squard and carry out some of the Navy's shady plans.

Finally, after an hour and a half of the battle, the Navy's arrangements were complete, and the pirates entered the encirclement and advanced towards the plaza.

Just then, Sengoku on the execution platform suddenly announced loudly: "Activate the encirclement wall, cut off the Den Den Mushi, and temporarily stop the live broadcast!"

As the order was given, the four live Den Den Mushi broadcasts in the arena were instantly cut off, and the giant screen on the Sabaody Archipelago went black, making it impossible to see anything.

What's going on?

Why was the live stream interrupted?!

"Connect quickly! We've waited so long, is this all we're getting???"

Discontented shouts rose and fell, and even the most wicked newcomers who were beginning to make their mark in the new world couldn't help but complain.

"How boring. Is this all the Navy can do?"

The common people and reporters were unaware of the inside story, but some bigwigs and shrewd new pirates saw through the Navy's plans.

It's obvious that the Navy will do something that will damage their image, and they, who always pride themselves on justice and consider themselves to have a glorious image, certainly won't let the world see such a scene.

Sure enough, after Marineford shut down its live stream, the situation suddenly changed!

First, Squard, the captain of a pirate crew under the Whitebeard Pirates, suddenly returned to the Moby Dick, approached Whitebeard, and stabbed him in the abdomen with a knife!

Akainu's counter-espionage scheme worked. He fabricated a secret deal between Whitebeard and Ace, and through this dirty trick, he made the dim-witted Squard choose to betray him!

At the same time, the Navy's true encirclement wall rose, completely trapping the Whitebeard Pirates in the bay and severing their connection before they could rush onto the plaza!

Although Oars Jr. fought desperately to create an opening, it was clearly insufficient to stop the Navy's plan.

"Sakazuki, it's your turn."

At that moment, Sengoku, standing on the execution platform, glanced at Akainu out of the corner of his eye, signaling him to begin the operation.

Upon receiving the order, Akainu stood up from his seat without saying a word, walked to the front, and his two arms suddenly turned crimson, then transformed into gushing magma, causing the temperature here to rise sharply!

"Meteor Volcano!"

Immediately afterwards, Akainu raised his arms to the sky, and countless magma fists were launched into the air like cannonballs, instantly plunging the sky into darkness...

It was truly like a volcanic eruption, with volcanic ash obscuring the sky!

This oppressive and terrifying scene stunned everyone present. The navy hastily withdrew from the bay, leaving only a group of pirates on the ice.

The next moment, a scene resembling the end of the world unfolded!

Chapter 176 At the critical moment, Whitebeard suffers a sudden heart attack!

The sky was pitch black, and countless magma fists rained down upon the bay, smashing through the ice that Aokiji had frozen, causing the seawater to heat up instantly!

The pirates present suddenly found themselves without a place to stay, and they couldn't even stay in the seawater, because the seawater had risen to an unbearable temperature due to the continuous heating of the magma.

Akainu's signature AOE ultimate move was so terrifying that the battlefield was suddenly filled only with the wails and howls of the pirates!

Despite witnessing this horrific scene, Sengoku remained unmoved and instead issued a third order.

Immediately afterwards, in the plaza, Sentomaru appeared leading a large group of humanoid weapons that resembled Kuma...

These weapons can shoot out golden lasers with power comparable to those emitted by Kizaru. As soon as they appear, they continuously bombard the direction in which the pirates gather on the battlefield!

The situation has completely reversed. The Navy's three plans are linked together and executed perfectly, turning the pirates' side into a scene of utter devastation!

"Although the navy represents justice, sometimes it is unavoidable to use some 'bad' methods."

Sengoku, standing on the execution platform, looked at the one-sided pirates on the battlefield and muttered to himself.

Clearly, he himself knew that the methods they used were far from honorable, especially the act of having Squard betray him.

Despite having a significant advantage, they still resorted to such tactics, which is why they announced the temporary suspension of the live broadcast—they didn't want to change the world's perception of the Navy's righteous image.

In addition, Akainu's Meteor Volcano and the Science Unit's insane slaughter are such extreme methods of attack that they are too brutal in terms of visual effects. It can be said that most pirates are not as 'brutal' as them!

This is also one of the reasons for shutting down the live stream. The Navy's plan was to ensure that all these plans worked while leaving a lasting impression of their righteous and benevolent image in the hearts of the people.

But at that moment, a marine climbed onto the execution platform and whispered a report in Sengoku's ear.

After the Marine finished speaking, Sengoku's face instantly darkened, and he roared, "Why didn't you say so beforehand? Quick, cut the Den Den Mushi!"

"Yes, I'm sorry, Marshal, we also wanted to cut it off, but the pirates seized control of the Den Den Mushi..."

Looking at the enraged Sengoku, the Marine cautiously replied.

"what?!"

"Go and snatch it back for me right now, then cut it off!"

"Turn your attacks on the pirates who are stealing Den Den Mushi!"

The Warring States period was truly enraged; this time, it was utterly enraged!

That's right, despite their well-thought-out plan, an unexpected event occurred: of the four video Den Den Mushi, only three were cut off...

And unsurprisingly, the last one was snatched up by Bucky, the MVP of the Marineford War, who continued to stream!

This means that everything that happened on the battlefield just now was seen by the outside world.

Preserving the naval image? Forget about it, there's no way you'd preserve that image!

Indeed, the events just now were broadcast live to the Sabaody Archipelago and witnessed by everyone outside the islands.

At this moment, everyone in the Sabaody Archipelago was stunned, staring blankly at the chilling and terrifying scene on the screen!

No one expected that the Navy would be like this!

In Marineford, on the battlefield, Whitebeard's side had no time to care what the Navy thought. They launched another counterattack, frantically charging towards the gap that Little Oars Jr. had opened up at the cost of his life!

Most importantly, Whitebeard himself had completely darkened his expression at this moment!

It wasn't because of the devastating blow from the other side, but because of the 'dirty' tactics the navy used, fabricating this baseless charge to drive a wedge between him and his son!

Ignoring the stab wounds to his chest and abdomen, and after everything was laid bare and the truth came to light, the white-bearded man, veins bulging on his forehead, jumped off the Moby Dick...

"Warring States period, you really have some clever methods!"

This man, who was known as the strongest in the world, was enraged. With a roar, a ball of light appeared on his fist and slammed it into the void!

Cracks appeared everywhere. Whitebeard's earthquake attack was even more powerful than the previous sea earthquake. The ground was cracked open, and a huge crack went straight towards the Marine Headquarters!

In the end, a vertical crack appeared on the high-rise building of the Navy Headquarters, extending to an extremely deep depth.

Then, he picked up the Murakumogiri again, and a ball of light appeared on the blade, which he then slashed out fiercely.

The ball of light rushed towards the densely packed naval forces. Even a vice admiral couldn't withstand a single blow and was instantly killed.

Seeing this, the elite vice admirals couldn't sit still any longer and rushed over, attacking Whitebeard simultaneously...

BUT, it was completely useless. In just a moment, they were blasted away by Whitebeard. Although they suffered a few knife wounds, it did little good.

Although elite lieutenant generals are powerful, they are like children in front of royal-level combat power; their small arms can't even twist the thigh!

On the Navy side, seeing Whitebeard begin to unleash his full power, Akainu finally couldn't sit still any longer and prepared to take action.

Admirals Aokiji and Kizaru had already taken the lead, but they were temporarily blocked and held back by several powerful 050 division commanders, and had no impact on Whitebeard.

Finally, Akainu entered the fray, magma gushing from his body. His magma-covered fists were fired at Whitebeard, and the magma ignited Whitebeard's body.

Then Whitebeard unleashed his power, each punch accompanied by a ball of light, relentlessly blasting forward...

The two fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand, and no one dared to approach the battlefield.

Because those two people, along with the three hands and one move in the group, were extremely terrifying. Unless they were both at the same level as the Emperor, anyone who went to the Spirit Realm would only have one ending, which was 'death'!

Whitebeard was old after all, and his body was already struggling to keep going with the daily IV drips. He had been attacked and injured before.

Facing Akainu, who is at his peak and possesses what is known as the strongest attack-attack Devil Fruit, it would be normal for him to be at a disadvantage. It is already quite remarkable that he can maintain a stalemate.

The two fought fiercely for a long time. In the end, Whitebeard suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, which made him powerless. He had no choice but to withdraw the moves he had prepared. He knelt on the ground, clutching his chest, and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood!

At this critical moment, Whitebeard suffered a sudden heart attack!

Chapter 177 Luo Feng's 'greeting gift' has finally arrived!

Seeing Blackbeard suddenly kneel down, Akainu seized the opportunity, quickly stood up, and roared, "You're too old! No matter what you do today, you won't be able to save that brat with demon blood!"

"A massive fire eruption!"
