Uchiha's personal opinion

Although the pre-battle preparations were rather hasty, thanks to the joint efforts of the staff ninjas from all departments, apart from the more than 1,000 garrison troops left behind by the Third Army in the Demon Triangle Sea, all the remaining 10,000 active ninjas were gathered here and underwent a pre-battle inspection. In addition, six Tailed Beasts that were sealed and two Great Sages of the Holy Land were also conscripted again to join the army in battle. Meanwhile, the 'Guardian Beast' Two-Tails Matatabi shrank in size and followed closely beside Uchiha Tokumitsu.

As for the new Seastone weapons jointly developed by the great scientists Vegapunk and Orochimaru, they were also all mounted on the battleships, ready to give the Navy's Devil Fruit users a surprise.

In this battle, Uchiha Tokumitsu did not intend to stop at the Sabaody Archipelago or Marineford. He wanted to take advantage of the Four Emperors' alliance to conquer the Holy Land of Mary Geoise in one fell swoop, and make the entire pirate world lose its mind—even if it was a corrupt and mediocre mind.

Meanwhile, the Sabaody Archipelago, where the landing operation has already begun, has reached its final moment—the Navy's final moment!

As Hanzo of the Salamander launched his all-out attack, Yagura, the Three-Tails Jinchuriki who had been lurking at the bottom of the sea, surfaced in time and blasted a huge Tailed Beast Ball toward the shore!

Although Vice Admiral Garp had not directly witnessed the power of a Tailed Beast Ball, a pure energy polymer, he had read the relevant battle records after Kizaru's defeat at Touko Island, so he dared not be careless and immediately ordered his personnel to try to intercept it.

However, he still underestimated the power of the Tailed Beast Ball.

The naval officers, already in a sorry state from the sudden barrage of attacks from the battleships, managed to organize and prepare an interception, but under Yagura's mental control, the Tailed Beast Ball exploded in mid-air. The powerful Tailed Beast chakra, along with an incredibly strong shockwave, instantly leveled the area where the naval officers were gathered!

Although the physical strength of the natives in the pirate world surpasses that of ninjas, and although Armament Haki provides decent defensive capabilities, and some naval officers manage to dodge quickly when the intense light of the explosion first appears...

However, the explosion of the Tailed Beast Ball dealt another heavy blow to the already small number of naval officers and soldiers.

After Vice Admiral Garp, covered in dust and blood, crawled out of the ruins, the Marines of the First and Fifth Expeditionary Armies, led by Hanzo of the Salamander, Sakumo Hatake, and Ichisei, successfully landed and instantly attacked the remaining naval officers.

As the commander-in-chief of the garrison navy, Garp naturally received special treatment, being surrounded on three sides by Sakumo Hatake, Hanzo the Salamander, and Chief Petty Officer Issei.

"You really think highly of an old man like me..."

Although Vice Admiral Garp's Observation Haki did not detect any Devil Fruit abilities or Armament Haki from Sakumo Hatake and Hanzo Salamander, the aura emanating from them as they stood there was enough to tell that they were no ordinary strongmen.

"These two must be the military leaders of the remnants..."

Lieutenant General Garp dusted himself off and said leisurely, "It seems your intelligence work is indeed very thorough, managing to locate me so accurately even in such chaos..."

"As for this one... he should be a powerful figure from the common people of the East Sea, right? Why did he decide to join the ranks of the remnants of the fallen tribes?"

Lieutenant General Garp shifted his gaze to Yi Sheng, whose eyes were still closed.

"All I have done is to bring peace and tranquility to the world and happiness to all people!"

Yi Sheng slowly raised the staff-sword he held in his left hand in response to Vice Admiral Garp: "The Celestial Dragons are tyrannical and inhumane, the World Government is corrupt and rotten, and the Navy is complicit in their evil deeds..."

"All these injustices and oppressions built on the old order must be thoroughly cleansed by the iron and blood of war!"

After speaking, he used his left thumb to pry open the lock on the staff and sword, revealing a glimpse of the blade's sharpness!

His attitude and stance are crystal clear!

"What a pity..."

Lieutenant General Garp sighed slightly and assumed a boxing stance.

"My apologies..."

He bowed slightly in greeting, then moved with lightning speed, using the Instant Step to draw his sword and strike!

"Paper drawing!"

The once robust and imposing Vice Admiral Garp suddenly became as thin as a sheet of paper, narrowly escaping a fatal attack at the last moment!

"Gravity Blade—"

Upon missing his target, Yi Sheng abruptly reversed the sword's trajectory, simultaneously activating the 'Gravity-Gravity Fruit's' power to accumulate gravity on the sword, and slashed diagonally towards Vice Admiral Garp to the side.

"Iron block!"

Vice Admiral Garp then used a defensive technique from the Six Powers of the Navy, mobilizing his arm to make it as hard as steel while grabbing the sword with his bare hand in a 'blade-like' manner.

"—A fierce tiger!"

With a sudden shout, he unleashed the immense force within his sword, sending Vice Admiral Garp flying as he prepared to make his next move.

"Water Instantaneous Movement—"

Just as Garp was being blasted away by the force of gravity, Hanzo of the Salamander, who had been unmoved, immediately ducked and flashed past in a posture almost touching the ground.

"—Sword Draw Slash!"

Hanzo the Salamander flashed past the unbalanced Garp like a ghost, leaving a long wound on his back with his poisoned scythe, from which black blood dripped rapidly.

"Moonwalk!"

Despite being attacked, Vice Admiral Garp managed to perform Moonwalk while off balance, rising into the air in a manner similar to a 'left foot stepping on the right foot in a spiral ascent', thus avoiding Hanzo's next attack.

"That's fine!"

Hanzo the Salamander's eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

The Uchiha Dynasty had also distributed information on the Six Powers of the Navy, which was based on the interrogation intelligence of captured Marines. Hanzo of the Salamander had also studied it seriously. However, Vice Admiral Garp's performance at this moment far exceeded his expectations—was this still the so-called Six Powers of the Marines?

They're about to go to heaven!

"Wind Release: Wind Blade!"

Sakumo Hatake cleaved his right hand with three fingers, condensing chakra into an extremely thin, invisible wind blade and flung it toward Vice Admiral Garp in mid-air.

"Oops……"

Although Vice Admiral Garp could roughly sense through his Observation Haki that the white-haired man's seemingly casual flick towards him was not a friendly gesture, just as he was about to dodge, he suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded, which made it difficult for him to maintain 'Moonwalk' for a moment due to insufficient strength!

"This is...poisoning!"

The experienced Lieutenant General Garp immediately realized what was happening, while also being incredibly surprised.

The only possible cause of poisoning was the attack by that masked monster, but his injured back showed no signs of poisoning pain...

Upon thinking of this, Lieutenant General Garp felt a chill run down his spine.

"Oh no! It's probably highly poisonous!"

However, Hatake Sakumo's wind blade attack was extremely fast. Just as Vice Admiral Garp was lost in thought and did not react in time, the invisible wind blade struck his crossed arms as he was blocking.

Instantly, Vice Admiral Garp's arms were a bloody mess!

"Get down here!"

Then, he used the gravity of the Fruit of Weightless Gravity to directly apply to Vice Admiral Garp, causing him to fall like a meteorite!

Meanwhile, Sakumo Hatake, eager to try, had already drawn his White Fang short sword, ready for the 'Thousand Years of Death'!

……

"Frozen time capsule!"

After the battered Whitebeard blocked Sengoku's powerful punch once again, Kuzan, who was not far away, immediately seized on an opening in Whitebeard's swaying figure and unleashed a shockwave of cold air that froze Whitebeard's entire body.

This time, although Whitebeard was still struggling, he only left cracks on the ice and did not break free immediately—he had exhausted his strength after being ganged up on.

"The time has finally come to settle things..."

The expressionless Zhan Guo felt a little relieved.

In fact, he was under a lot of pressure when he went to great lengths to lure the Whitebeard Pirates out of the Four Emperors' alliance ahead of time.

But the time for this plan to finally bear fruit has come.

To be honest, Sengoku did not intend to kill his old rival, with whom he had fought for half his life, immediately, but he would definitely not let Whitebeard leave alive—in his plan, Whitebeard's final destination was to become a 'researcher' in the Navy's technology unit!

'Snap!'

As Whitebeard struggled, the ice that had sealed his body began to crack inch by inch.

"Shockwave!"

The golden Buddha of the Warring States period struck again, shattering the ice that had sealed Whitebeard and severely injuring him, causing him to cough up blood.

Even so, the shaky white beard did not fall.

"ice skates!"

"Heavenly Sword from the Clouds!"

Kuzan and Kizaru combined their Devil Fruit powers to form weapons, piercing Whitebeard's shoulder blades from both sides behind!

'Clang!'

Whitebeard's 'Murakumogiri,' which he had been holding tightly in his hands, slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground.

"It seems... you intend to capture me..."

Whitebeard lowered his head with difficulty, glanced at the ice blades and lightsabers protruding from both sides of his chest, and forced a grotesque smile.

"But you underestimate me!"

"careful!"

The Warring States period, who had been looking confident of victory, suddenly changed his expression.

A semi-transparent white sphere materialized between the white-bearded man's lowered hands; this was his final, life-burning strike.

"Airquake!"

As a violent shockwave rippled outwards, Whitebeard turned into a cloud of blood mist, while Kuzan and Kizaru were blasted away by the intense spatial tremors!

"Stubborn fool!"

Sengoku's face was extremely pale!

However, upon looking at the two generals who had been knocked away, he found that they had only suffered minor injuries and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad!"

Marco, who had been hovering in the sky, also noticed the tragic scene of Whitebeard's self-destruction and couldn't help but scream in despair.

Meanwhile, the Whitebeard Pirates, who were engaged in a fierce battle with the Marine officers, also heard Marco's voice and immediately understood what had happened on land at the G1 branch.

Some hesitated, some wanted to leave, but many more began to fight to the death, risking injury to save their lives!

"Get ready, wipe them out quickly!"

Before the naval officers and soldiers deployed on land could catch their breath, Sengoku immediately gave the order.

But at that very moment, a huge sailing warship appeared on the sea.

"This is……"

When Zhan Guo looked up, he saw only a sliver of an eyelid.

The flagship of Charlotte Linlin of the Big Mom Pirates - the Queen Mother Anthem!

Then another sail slowly revealed its full form—the Red-Haired Pirates' flagship, the Redfus!
