Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

Therefore, the naval high command, who had not yet been greatly affected, immediately took action to protect the core combat forces of the navy and prevent them from being damaged needlessly in this impact.

That would be such a damn injustice!

The Navy's actions may seem exaggerated, but they are actually quite normal and only natural.

Because the other two directions are the same for both the Whitebeard Pirates and the Godfall Pirates...

"Quick, brothers, get away from here! Protect Straw Hat Boy and get him out of Dad's attack range!"

"Yes, run! Dad is the strongest. Now that he's back to his peak, he'll definitely teach that brat Luo Feng a lesson. The Navy can't do anything to him either. We don't need to worry!"

"That's right, don't distract Dad, protect yourselves, and prepare to retreat!"

On the Whitebeard Pirates' side, Marco, Jozu, Vista, and others shouted and directed the crew to flee Marineford.

While protecting Luffy, who had already suffered a mental breakdown, along with Jinbe, Ivankov, and others, they also protected the large force that was powerless to resist the terrifying impact, and slowly retreated towards the harbor.

This time they didn't face much of a threat from the navy, since the navy didn't have that much energy left.

Now, all the high-ranking naval officers are not only protecting their own people, but also focusing their attention on Luo Feng and Whitebeard!

For them, the most important thing is to take care of these two first, and then the remaining remnants will collapse on their own!

But this only represents the majority of the navy. Akainu, who has always been a hawk, is always the busiest person on this battlefield.

It was as if everyone in the Navy Headquarters except him was an actor. Although this was a joke, there was some truth to it.

Because, at this most crucial moment, when it was also the easiest time to wipe out the Whitebeard Pirates, only Akainu actually chased after them, relentlessly pressing forward and refusing to give up!

The others, especially Kizaru and Aokiji, who were also admirals, merely raised their eyebrows without saying anything.

Kizaru sat motionless on the ice rock high in the sky, fiddling with a small gadget in his hand, showing no interest in the current situation, easily resisting the impact and observing the situation on the battlefield.

As for Aokiji, he was helping Sengoku, Garp, Tsuru, and others protect their comrades, and no one went to help Akainu in the pursuit...

At this moment, Akainu felt his scalp tingle from the performance!

But there was no other way; they had to keep chasing. Akainu, unwilling to let a single pirate escape, finally caught up with the fleeing Whitebeard Pirates.

As expected, this once again attracted an attack. The two combined groups mobilized their strongest members to join forces and try to stop Akainu! (Flying)

Chapter 203 Zoro Slays Vice Admiral Mole!

Marco, Jozu, Vista, Izo, Jinbe, Ivankov, and others stood opposite Akainu, blocking his path and protecting Luffy and the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates as they fled, preventing him from pursuing them.

"You guys, are you all risking your lives for some straw hat kid?"

Seeing the group blocking his way and Luffy being carried away further and further away, Akainu was filled with rage. Ignoring the injuries he had sustained from Whitebeard, he prepared to attack as the magma began to flow.

"That guy is the one who inherited Ace's will and Dad's will!"

"We have an obligation to send him to the new world!"

"If he dies, it will be a disgrace to the Whitebeard Pirates!"

The Whitebeard Pirates blocked Luffy's path, refusing to make way and insisting on protecting him.

"Hey! Akainu, isn't your determination to kill that guy the same as our hope to keep him alive?"

Marco stepped forward, his expression icy, his gaze fixed intently on Akainu, and said in a cold voice.

It's obvious that the Whitebeard Pirates, Ivankov, Jinbe, and the others will not back down even a step. The battle has reached this point, and they will protect Luffy no matter what.

They couldn't interfere in the battle between Luo Feng and Whitebeard, but here, 067 and his crew couldn't allow Luffy to suffer any more accidents. Otherwise, Ace would have died in vain, and Whitebeard's name would have been disgraced!

This is something they absolutely will not allow!

"Do as you please, that wicked bloodline must not leave Marineford alive!"

Akainu didn't care about any of that. Seeing that he couldn't reason with them, magma erupted from his fist and he attacked the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Revolutionary Army officers, and the disgraced Shichibukai with all his might!

To him, these were all people who deserved to die anyway. They were going against the Navy and the government. Letting them live was too merciful. The sooner they were killed, the easier it would be...

These people are different from Whitebeard and Luo Feng. Although they are also very powerful, it depends on who they are facing.

With Akainu's strength, he was not afraid of his opponent at all and directly overwhelmed him with his strength. He made a fierce move against the dozen or so people in front of him, intending to annihilate them all here!

Marco, the strongest fighter among them, stepped forward immediately, activated his ability, and clashed with Akainu...

Thus, another small battlefield was opened up here.

Compared to the real 'war of gods' in the middle of the Gulf, it was far less significant, but still quite important, and was also a significant episode in this massive war (aiaj).

……

Unlike the chaos near the harbor, the Godfall Pirates were also gradually withdrawing from the battlefield.

They were just not as disheveled as the Whitebeard Pirates and Luffy, and seemed to be handling things with ease.

At this critical moment, Crocodile took on the responsibility of being the first mate!

Possessing the strength of a Yonko's first mate, comparable to Katakuri, he is not much weaker than Marco, the current second-in-command of the Whitebeard Pirates.

After all, this wasn't two years later. He had undergone hellish training under Luo Feng and had almost recovered to his peak condition. At least at the level of the Royal Vice-President, he was no less than anyone else!

"Gurararara, Doflamingo, you bastard, stop bothering Law. I don't have time to play with you today, but I'll deal with you later!"

"sandstorm!"

In the midst of the tense battle between Doflamingo and Law, a mocking voice suddenly rang out, followed by a whirlwind of sand that formed a sand wall between the two, blocking Doflamingo's attack on Law.

The next moment, Crocodile appeared...

Two cigars had appeared in his mouth, which was still oozing blood, making him look incredibly arrogant.

As soon as the aura appeared, Krok2K5Dal used the Spirit 2125 Sandstorm, sending Luo, who was still playing against the third brother of the Duojiu Franming group, to the high sky...

"Crocodile, you...!"

At this point, Law's injuries were quite serious. After all, Doflamingo's strength was still beyond Law's current reach, and the results of fighting this far were already quite impressive.

"Hey Luo, stop talking nonsense and get back to the ship. Do you want to be put under the captain's pressure?"

Hearing Luo's discontent coming from the sky, Crocodile laughed loudly, unconcerned.

Upon hearing this, Luo pondered for a moment, but ultimately said nothing more.

A shockwave from Luo Feng and Whitebeard? Who the hell wants to take that? That's just asking for death...

High in the sky, Nogiko's coordination was particularly timely. Just as Law was being swept up by Crocodile's sandstorm, a giant rock imbued with the power of the Float-Float Fruit appeared beneath him, then carried him towards the Skyfall in the high sky...

Nochi is truly deserving of the title of the top chef and professional support!

Below, on Zoro's battlefield, the first elite vice admiral he was fighting—Momonga—was clearly seriously injured...

Its body was covered with countless knife wounds, some so deep that the bone was visible, giving it a chilling appearance.

Zoro also had some injuries, but the extent of his wounds was completely different from his opponent's. He only had a few shallow cuts, which would heal quickly for someone with his abnormally strong physique, and probably wouldn't even be considered serious injuries...

Clearly, Zoro held an absolute advantage in the battle between the two, and even the First Vice Admiral of the Navy, Momonga, was no match for him!

Zoro's progress can be described as rapid!

It's astonishing that someone who joined the team later than Crocodile and Law has achieved such success...

It's important to know that his opponent is no ordinary man. The so-called First Vice Admiral, Momonga, was someone who, two years ago when he was a pirate, could single-handedly defeat the entire Straw Hat Pirates!

Today, Zoro achieved such a result in a one-on-one battle!

Just then, the ground beneath Zoro's feet suddenly cracked open, and a giant rock broke through the ground, rising into the air and carrying him high into the sky.

Zoro wasn't surprised by this familiar feeling; he knew it was his comrade Nochiko's support arriving!

"Hey, Lieutenant General, see you next time."

"Work hard, or next time you won't be worthy of being my opponent!"

Standing on the floating rock, Zoro sheathed all three swords and looked down at the half-fallen Momonga below, and couldn't help but smirk.

He didn't kill the flying squirrel. Although the other party was a Marine, Zoro wanted to leave himself some like-minded rivals so that he could grow stronger!

To put it bluntly, Zoro's behavior is comparable to raising a "ghost"—arrogant, yet leaving one helpless!

"You brat...you just wait!"

Looking at the arrogant brat in mid-air, the flying squirrel seemed to be so angry that it coughed up blood twice. It pointed at him, but couldn't say anything effective. Even its threats seemed extremely weak, just a helpless rage.

"Hehehe!"

"Senior Luo Feng's husband... Beautiful seniors, I'll help protect them. It's time to go back to the ship!"

"Huh? When did that bastard with the green hair get here? Follow me around, I won't be responsible if you get lost!"

Chapter 204 Hawkeye: Three-Sword Style Swordsman, take my basic attack!

Clearly, only Bartolomeo could utter such sly words.

As one of the four combatants of the Godfall Pirates, he is undoubtedly the most unreliable one.

But surprisingly, in this battle, he was the first to finish the fight and defeat his opponent!

It's also possible that the level of the enemy he's facing isn't high enough; Smoker is definitely much weaker than Momonga and Doflamingo.

However, Bartolomeo, who also lacked significant offensive power, failed to turn the battle into the protracted war he had envisioned.

Not long after the battle began, Smoker was caught out and completely sealed by Bartolomeo's Barrier Lock.

Even though it's a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows one to transform into an element, the entire body and the surrounding smoke are locked within the barrier, and no matter how hard one tries, they can't escape.

Faced with such a solid barrier that even those below the Emperor level would find difficult to break through, it was clear that Smoker was unable to open it at all. In the end, he suffered a huge loss and was severely taught a lesson by Bartolomeo!

In any case, Bartolomeo now possesses Armament Haki, and at a fairly high level.

Faced with the Loguetown naval commander who had hunted him down countless times, one could predict what methods he would use to torture him.

Smoker was beaten almost to a pulp, blood gushing from his mouth, far worse than when he was dealt with by Vergo in the original One Piece...

However, to be fair, Bartolomeo was too prone to showing off and didn't focus all his attention on the battle.

At the crucial moment, Smoker seized an opening and struck him with his weapon, the 'Ten-Ten'!

It's worth noting that Smoker's weapon, the Jitte, is topped with Seastone. Therefore, it's conceivable that this attack caused Bartolomeo to temporarily lose his Devil Fruit powers, and the barrier to dissipate on its own, allowing Smoker to escape…

This also frustrated him greatly. If it weren't for this mistake, Smoker would have been completely defeated!

After that, Bartolomeo always wandered around in mid-air on the floating boulder that Nocchio had created for him.

Now, Luo Feng and Whitebeard's terrifying attack has fully erupted. After the impact came, he took the initiative to step forward and used a barrier to protect Robin, Vivi, and the other three women, blocking the terrifying impact!
