Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

Akainu's right arm had completely turned into magma, so bright red that it was almost blinding. Taking advantage of Whitebeard's illness and inability to move, he punched him in the chest!

The power of magma is terrifying. With just this simple punch, a large hole was immediately opened in Whitebeard's body, and flames from the magma continued to burn on it!

This attack truly wounded Whitebeard; it was arguably the first serious injury he had suffered since the Marineford War began!

"Dad"

Behind them, the captains and commanders stared wide-eyed and shouted in terror. Even Ace, who was on the execution platform, couldn't help but shout loudly.

Behind Akainu, the vice admirals who had been watching him intently rushed forward as soon as they saw that Akainu had succeeded in his attack.

Swords, guns, and the Six Styles of the Navy—the vice admirals used everything at their disposal to launch a frenzied attack on Whitebeard.

Seeing that he seemed powerless to fight back, Akainu turned around and looked at Luffy, who had already entered the plaza, and was about to chase after him to stop him.

But at that moment, a shadow fell over Akainu's heart, a bad premonition rose sharply, and a chill came from behind him...

Instantly, Akainu's expression changed, his eyes widening in disbelief.

But before he could turn around, a tremendous force struck his face...

That's right, Whitebeard's attack has landed!

Enraged by Akainu's sneak attack, Whitebeard, his expression serious, gritted his teeth and unleashed a fierce attack despite the excruciating pain.

Whitebeard's left hand was surrounded by a ball of light, which he then slammed into Akainu's face!

This was no ordinary punch; imbued with the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, it slammed Akainu to the ground, his face contorted and distorted by the force, along with the void itself!

In an instant, Akainu was pinned to the ground, the ground cracking open. Whitebeard didn't stop, his power increasing until Akainu was coughing up blood repeatedly...

Upon seeing this, the pirates went wild, while the marines were somewhat dumbfounded.

Akainu, the leader of the three admirals and always regarded as the strongest fighter, was beaten so badly!

Just then, before everyone could recover from Whitebeard's counterattack, they heard a rumbling sound from the horizon!

Immediately afterwards!

A huge shadow loomed over the bay and plaza of the Naval Headquarters!

"Look, what's that?...｀ ‖..."

"That's... an island???"

"How is this possible? How could an island fall from the sky!"

"My God, run!"

"It's too late, that island is too big!"

The shadow in the sky was rapidly approaching the Marine Headquarters. Everyone present, forgetting their shock, was frantically fleeing.

The island covered the entire bay and most of the plaza, its area was terrifying, and most of the navy and pirate forces were concentrated in this area!

If someone were to be hit by it, the loss would be absolutely unbearable, whether for pirates or the navy...

Given the size of that island, there was no question of targeting anyone specifically; it was a clear, indiscriminate attack that encompassed both sides.

"No way?"

What exactly happened at Marineford?

"How could an island fall from the sky? Could it be that man has arrived?"

"Don't talk nonsense. Have you forgotten that the Navy itself announced last time that Shiki the Golden Lion was confirmed dead? How could he possibly be resurrected?"

"But besides him, who else has such ability?!"

Not only the Navy Headquarters, but also the numerous reporters, civilians, and people from various factions in the Sabaody Archipelago who were paying attention to the war were all shocked at this moment, constantly whispering and speculating about the origin of the island.

"This ability, Garp, do you think it might be..." Sengoku, standing on the execution platform, looked at Garp with a solemn expression and asked.

"Ah, I feel the same way. The only one connected to the Golden Lion is that young man I've never met."

"And it was he who handed Ace over to the G12 branch. Didn't that kid say there was a possibility he might appear?"

"I can't think of anyone else who is related to both of these matters but him."

"Most likely, it's him who's here!"

As Garp said these words, he gritted his teeth, especially when he mentioned Ace's capture, which made him even angrier.

The two veteran naval officers both had serious expressions and were staring intently at the massive island that was falling.

The "little devil" they were referring to was undoubtedly Luo Feng!

No one knows Luo Feng's true identity, but everything he has done has already spread among the giants of this sea.

Whether it's the naval or pirate leaders, they all know about this young man to some extent!

Sengoku and Garp's guess was correct. At the height of the battle, when the fighting was at its most intense, the Godfall Pirates and Luo Feng's crew arrived!

At the Navy Headquarters, two thousand meters above the ground, the Skyfall was rapidly descending with two islands in tow, heading straight for the Navy Headquarters below with overwhelming force!

"Hahaha, this is so exciting! I think I can already see the battlefield below."

"Old man with the white beard, I'm here!"

Crocodile gazed at the phantom image of Marine Headquarters directly below, laughing incessantly.

The same goes for everyone else. The big battle they've been looking forward to for months is finally here. Who can stay calm?

"I was wondering what the captain was doing with these three islands, but it turns out they're for this purpose."

"That's quite a great way to get in..."

Zoro's lips curled into a smile; his fighting spirit had been completely ignited!

“Ah, that’s right (Li’s), this way of greeting is quite unique. I hope the big shots below won’t be frightened?” Luo smiled, a rare occurrence for him, as his demon sword was already drawn, its blade gleaming with a chilling light.

That's right, the island that just descended was exactly what Luo Feng instructed Nuoqi Gao to do.

After arriving above the Marine Headquarters, Nochigo deactivated the floating ability of one of the islands, causing it to freefall and crash directly downwards!

This is Luo Feng's way of 'greeting' others, and it's also how Shenyun and his gang announced their departure for the sea!

"Godfall Pirates, prepare for battle!" Luo Feng stood at the bow of the ship, and this time even he was unusually serious. Blue light kept flashing across his two large hands on its own, showing that he was not very calm!

Below, at the Marine Headquarters, a massive shadow descended, and the island crashed down, slamming heavily into the bay and plaza!

A tremendous roar resounded, and Luo Feng's 'gift' had finally arrived!

Chapter 178 The Battle of Marineford: The Golden Bell Rings Out!

Imagine the terrifying turmoil that would be caused if an island were to fall freely from a height of thousands of meters.

Its impact power is no less than that of Whitebeard's Sea Tremor attack. Moreover, Luo Feng added some gravity to it, which directly doubled its power!

At this moment, everyone present was too shocked to care about anything else. Many of them had fled for their lives as soon as they saw the island landing, fearing that they would die beneath it.

Those who were unable to escape used all their skills and abilities to fight back desperately!

As for the high-end combat forces of both sides, they certainly cannot stand idly by!

In the final moments before the island crashed, the Marine Admirals and Whitebeard intervened, using their abilities to destroy the island and protect their own people!

'Rumble rumble rumble…!'

The island shattered into several pieces the instant it touched the sea and land. In particular, the two areas that originally covered Whitebeard and Navy Plaza were completely destroyed by several sudden bursts of powerful destructive forces!

Clearly, that was the location of the admirals and Whitebeard.

While such an attack is very impactful and its power should not be underestimated, it is not enough to threaten people of their level.

Of course, no matter how powerful they are, they can't possibly protect everyone. After all, Akainu and Whitebeard were already fighting to the death, and this sudden, rapid attack only allowed each side to protect one side of the enemy.

As for other directions, we are truly powerless to help!

Finally, the island completely landed, with most of it falling into the bay. The bay, which had been melted apart by Akainu, was now suddenly filled with a foothold!

The island completely filled the bay, and the warships and four Moby Dick ships that were originally docked in the bay disappeared.

It's obvious that the ship was crushed to dust by the impact of the island. As for Whitebeard's flagship, it might be sturdy enough not to be completely destroyed, but without anyone to control it, it could only succumb to the force beneath the island and sink into the sea...

Besides the bay, the square also suffered considerable damage. Although the island is not large, it cannot be encompassed by just a bay.

The island, with its immense impact, destroyed most of the encirclement wall painstakingly constructed by the navy, and the corpses of naval soldiers were scattered everywhere in the square.

Without a doubt, the Navy suffered the greatest losses in this attack. After all, this was their territory, and they had the largest population, with over 100,000 marines alone. Naturally, the number of casualties was not small!

Not to mention the marines, even vice admirals suffered many casualties, not to mention the captains and lieutenants of the navy.

This was an unbearable loss. Everyone was shocked and furious. Sengoku, Garp, and the three admirals all had grim faces as they looked up at the sky.

On the other side, Whitebeard's expression was also clearly not good. Their losses were also considerable, with more than a dozen of their dozens of pirate crews being wiped out!

Of the fourteen core captains, those with strong abilities like Marco, Jozu, and Vista are fortunate enough to have the capacity to protect some of their own.

But those with average strength fared much worse; several captains were even on the verge of death from serious injuries!

"Who is this bastard who dares to lay a hand on my sons like this? Does he really think that because I'm old, anyone can bully me?!"

Whitebeard was filled with rage. Ignoring the wound on his chest inflicted by Akainu, he looked up at the sky and swung the Murakumogiri, unleashing a powerful air blast!

The terrifying shockwave spread rapidly upwards through the shattered void, its target the two islands that had descended to a point not far above the Marine Headquarters.

Clearly, with the delivery of the gift, Luo Feng and the others were approaching the Marine Headquarters and had truly joined the battlefield!

"To resort to such methods, that's truly terrifying!"

Besides Whitebeard, Kizaru from the Navy also made a move. His fingertip lasers flashed continuously, and after a brief charge, a laser cannon with several times the power was launched, also blasting towards the island in mid-air!

"Hey, what's going on? As new friends, we went to so much trouble to bring you this gift, and this is how you reciprocate?"

Luo Feng finally appeared, standing at the bow of the Tianyun ship, calmly observing the two attacks approaching from below. His tone was even slightly amusement, and a hint of a smile played on his lips.

Then, Luo Feng waved his hand, and several boulders flew off the island, pulled by his gravity.

The next moment, the boulder was subjected to several times the force of gravity and crashed into the direction pointed out by Luo Feng. It was so fast that it even left a few afterimages in its original position!

boom!

A deafening roar echoed in mid-air as several boulders imbued with gravity collided with Kizaru's laser, exploding in mid-air. A blinding light burst forth, making it difficult for those below to open their eyes.

Kizaru's attack was thus neutralized and exploded in mid-air. At the same time, Luo Feng jumped off the Meteorite and performed a backflip in mid-air. A faint blue light was already flashing on his left leg...

The next moment, Luo Feng kicked another island that was still floating in the sky with all his might!
