Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

"Why are you still bothering with me?"

"It's all because of my willfulness!"

After Blackbeard killed Thatch, Whitebeard, Marco, and others advised him not to pursue Blackbeard, but Ace ignored their advice and resolutely could not tolerate Blackbeard's behavior.

That's what led to the current situation.

Seeing these people come to risk their lives because of his recklessness fills Ace with immense guilt.

Just as Ace was deeply mired in self-blame, Whitebeard suddenly sternly denied his words.

"No!"

"Ace! I'm the one who asked you to go!"

Upon hearing this, Ace shouted excitedly.

"Stop it! Don't talk nonsense!"

"You tried to stop me back then, but I..."

Just as Ace was speaking, Whitebeard suddenly turned to Marco and said something.

"Hey! Marco! Wasn't it me who asked him to go?"

Marco nodded and said.

"Yes! I heard it too!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward, came to Whitebeard's side, and said to Ace.

"Ace, you've worked hard!"

"On this vast ocean, everyone should know..."

"What will happen if they turn against our partners!"

"Ace! We will not let anyone who hurt you get away with this!"

"Wait a moment, we're coming to rescue you right away!"

Hearing Whitebeard and Marco's words, Ace clenched his teeth, tears welling in his eyes, unable to utter a single word.

Just then, the earth suddenly trembled violently again.

The entire Marineford was engulfed in violent shaking.

At the same time, two enormous, towering waves suddenly swept in from both sides of the island, even more exaggerated than the previous ones.

Two towering waves, positioned in a pincer movement, hurtled rapidly toward Marineford, threatening to engulf the entire island.

The sudden and enormous changes once again shocked the entire navy.

Exclamations of surprise rang out from all directions.

“Waaaaaaaaaaaa…”

"What's causing this tremor? It's even more intense than before!"

"Look! It's a tsunami! It's huge!"

"This tsunami is outrageous! At this rate, the entire island will be submerged!"

Doflamingo looked at the massive tsunami soaring into the sky and laughed heartily.

"This is too strong!"

"As expected of a legendary monster!"

"Fufufufufu..."

Hawkeye didn't say anything, but he did frown slightly.

Even the three admirals had extremely serious expressions; they were all deeply shocked by Whitebeard's power.

Sengoku, as the supreme commander, had an extremely solemn expression. He frowned and spoke seriously to all the navy personnel.

"【Whitebeard】Edward Newgate is the earthquake man who ate the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!"

"Although we are stronger, don't assume we are guaranteed to win!"

"We might be the ones who get wiped out in the end!"

"Because of him..."

"Possesses the power to destroy the world!"

While the Navy was awestruck by Whitebeard's power, the pirates were riding high on their momentum.

Forty-seven pirate ships sped into the bay.

All the pirates were armed and in high spirits.

"Let's go, everyone!"

"War...is about to begin!"

This epic war, a gathering of titans, finally began with Whitebeard unleashing a tsunami that shocked the world.

Just as two towering waves were about to engulf the entire island from both sides, Aokiji, one of the three generals who had been sitting in front of the execution platform, suddenly flashed.

The next second, he appeared high in the sky in the center of the two surging waves.

"Ice Age!"

Then Aokiji let out a loud shout.

His hands instantly turned into ice and shot towards the giant waves on both sides.

In the instant the ice was submerged in the giant wave.

The massive waves, as large as mountains, began to freeze rapidly.

The ice, like a virus, instantly began to spread and invade along the waves.

Just a few seconds later, the two towering waves, and even the sea in the center of Moon Bay, were completely frozen by thick ice.

The bay in the center of the square had become a frosty world filled with cold air.

Looking at Aokiji who blocked his attack in mid-air, the white-bearded man grinned, but his brows furrowed slightly as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Aokiji brat..."

Aokiji stared intently at Whitebeard, then suddenly waved his hands, conjuring several enormous ice spears in front of him.

"Two-thorn spear!"

A loud shout!

Aokiji fired all the ice spears in front of him at Whitebeard.

Seeing this, Whitebeard smiled faintly.

"Hmph! Brat!"

As he finished speaking, he suddenly clenched his fist.

He swung his sword sharply in the direction of Aokiji.

boom!

The atmosphere was shattered once again, producing a violent explosion.

An incredibly powerful shockwave burst forth along the direction of the shattered atmosphere, pulverizing all the incoming ice spears.

Even Aokiji's body was subjected to an incredibly strong impact.

However, Aokiji had already transformed himself into an elemental form, turning into an ice sculpture.

Click!

The Aokiji, which had been transformed into an ice sculpture, shattered with a crash, turning into ice fragments that fell into the ice surface below that he had just frozen.

After landing, the broken ice pieces came together again, and Aokiji was restored to normal.

A brief clash, yet it allowed the world to witness the world's top power, and countless people were deeply shocked by the amazing battle scene.

But the fiercest battle has only just begun.

Upon seeing Aokiji freeze the entire bay, the Whitebeard Pirates cheered excitedly.

"There's room to stand now, everyone get on!"

"Charge! Let them see our power!"

"Rescue Ace! Charge!"

Amidst shouts and cheers, countless pirates leaped down and began their assault on the plaza ahead.

At the same moment!

The pirates on the 47 pirate ships outside the bay were equally excited.

"Hahahaha..."

"The sea has frozen over! How thoughtful!"

"Charge towards the bay!"

Amidst shouts, the first pirates to arrive began leaping off the ship and charging inward along the ice.

Meanwhile, pirate ships approached one after another from behind, with pirates constantly leaping off the ships to join the charge.

The pirates launched their attack.

The navy responded immediately.

Countless marines leaped from the plaza onto the ice and engaged in fierce combat with the charging pirates.

The entire bay was instantly filled with the roars, shouts, clashes of weapons, and explosions of battle, creating a spectacular and tragic scene.

As the fierce war finally broke out, Sengoku frowned deeply and muttered to himself.

"Finally...it's started!!"

His gaze swept quickly across the battlefield, observing the overall situation.

The battlefield is now basically divided into two major areas.

One large area is the battlefield where the Whitebeard Pirates are leading the charge in the bay.

The other large area is the pirates on the 47 pirate ships that are slowly charging into the bay.

Sengoku frowned as he watched the pirates on the outer edge of the bay disembark and instead of rushing into the bay to join the Whitebeard Pirates in their charge towards the plaza, they attacked the marines on the outer walls first.

He picked up the Den Den Mushi and quietly gave orders to the lieutenant generals in charge of the defense of the city walls.

"Don't get too entangled with them, just release them into the bay according to plan!"

Upon hearing Sengoku's order, the outer defensive line, led by lieutenant generals such as Mole and Doberman, immediately made adjustments.

The marines who were bombarding the pirates below with cannon fire from the city walls immediately stopped.

Led by several vice admirals, countless marines leaped down, fighting the pirates while silently retreating into the bay behind them, luring the pirates deeper into the bay little by little.

Whitebeard had no idea what Sengoku's plan was, but when he saw what Sengoku was saying to the Den Den Mushi, he couldn't help but frown slightly, and said in a deep voice with a smirk.

"[Strategist] The Buddha of the Warring States Period!"

Are you up to something?

As he spoke, Whitebeard immediately began to survey the entire battlefield.

Those engaged in combat might not have noticed, but he, who had remained motionless, keenly sensed the strange atmosphere surrounding the battlefield.

After only a short while, Whitebeard noticed something amiss.

He immediately curled the corners of his mouth into a smile and said in a deep voice.

"Are they trying to wipe us all out in one fell swoop?"

"How cruel!"

After saying that, Whitebeard suddenly spoke to Marco beside him.
