Whitebeard is currently suffering from various ailments, and Marco is very worried about his health, especially given his previous injuries.

Moreover, the surrounding navy surged in wave after wave like a tide.

If no one is guarding Whitebeard, he will be gradually approached by the advancing Marines and attacked again.

Upon hearing Marco's voice, Vista and Jozu, who were nearby, immediately led their men toward Whitebeard.

Marco originally intended to wait until they reached Whitebeard's side before going to support Luffy.

But Whitebeard shouted a loud stern remark.

"Leave me alone!"

"If you all come to protect me, who will stop so many navy personnel?"

They were already outnumbered, and the only reason they were able to hold off so many marines was because of the many captains and commanders from the New World.

If they come to support Whitebeard, then more Marines will break through the interception and get to Luffy and the others, preventing them from rescuing Ace.

This would run counter to their objectives.

Upon hearing Whitebeard's words, Marco's eyes immediately showed worry.

"But Dad, your health..."

Marco was speaking when he saw Whitebeard tighten his grip on the Murakumogiri sword, and a white halo appeared on it.

Then, he and the pirates around him heard Whitebeard speak in a deep voice.

"Don't underestimate me!"

"This injury is nothing to me!"

"But I..."

"Whitebeard!!!"

With a loud shout, Whitebeard swung out the Murakumogiri sword in his hand.

Instantly, he sliced ​​through the hundreds of sailors who had charged at him.

This scene instilled fear in the surrounding navy.

"Go quickly, Marco!"

Whitebeard roared at Marco again.

Now, Marco could no longer go against Whitebeard's wishes.

He immediately soared into the sky and rushed towards Luffy and the three admirals.

Just as he flew away, Whitebeard suddenly clutched his chest and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Dad!"

Vista and the others noticed this and immediately cried out in concern.

Whitebeard stretched out a hand to stop them and said in a deep voice.

"I'm fine!"

"We absolutely must stop these Marines before Ace is rescued, and prevent them from interfering with the Straw Hat crew!"

After saying that, he stood up again, picked up his broadsword, and slashed at the navy that was charging at him once more.

Seeing this, Vista and the others stopped talking and focused on continuing their battle with the navy.

If they were to say something like they wanted to protect Whitebeard at this point, they would be letting down all the efforts of so many people.

...

On the execution platform.

The Warring States period was a time of constant observation of the overall situation.

Although the navy is temporarily held back, as long as this status quo is maintained, it will be enough for the three admirals to join forces and completely eliminate the Straw Hat Pirates.

However, just as he was thinking this, he saw something unusual happening on Whitebeard's side.

After not knowing what they were saying, he saw Marco suddenly soar into the sky and fly towards the execution platform.

With him and Garp on the execution platform, he figured Marco wouldn't force his way through to rescue Ace.

So he immediately realized that Marco was probably there to help the Straw Hat Boy below.

After a quick thought, Sengoku immediately shouted.

"Garp!"

When Garp's name was called, he turned his head to look at him.

However, when he saw the hesitation in Garp's eyes as he looked at Luffy, he gave up on the idea of ​​having Garp intercept Marco.

Sengoku gritted his teeth and clenched his fist.

He flexed his wrists as he spoke to Karp in a deep voice.

"You guard the execution platform!"

He paused for a moment, then continued slowly in a low voice.

"Garp! If you do anything reckless now, I will definitely not let you get away with it!"

While Sengoku said this, he was actually reminding Garp.

If Garp had chosen to side with Luffy and Ace at this point, his naval career would have ended there.

After saying this to Garp, Sengoku turned and stared intently at Marco, who was flying towards him at high speed.

...

On Luffy's side.

Akainu was completely enraged by Luffy's nonchalant voice and indifferent tone.

Like Aokiji, he felt that Luffy didn't take him seriously.

"You ignorant brat..."

He gritted his teeth and said in a low, extremely angry voice.

His right hand transformed into rolling magma, preparing to attack Luffy.

Just then, a blue figure suddenly sped across the sky.

At the same time, all three generals sensed the danger.

They looked up and saw Marco, transformed into a phoenix, flying rapidly towards them.

"Crane Claw!"

Suddenly, Marco transformed into a half-human form and, fueled by the momentum of high-speed flight, delivered a powerful kick towards Akainu.

Akainu originally intended to attack Luffy's fist, but had no choice but to face Marco instead.

boom!

After a loud bang, the two were temporarily separated.

Akainu's attack on Luffy was interrupted, while Marco returned to mid-air, hovering above the group, and spoke to Luffy.

"Ace's brother, I'm here to help you!"

Upon seeing someone in his way, Akainu frowned and muttered a curse.

"asshole!"

However, at that moment, he felt an incredibly powerful aura suddenly erupt from behind him.

Luffy and his crew also noticed this astonishing change.

Everyone turned to look in the direction emanating the powerful energy.

In the sky, Sengoku leaped from the execution platform and charged toward Marco.

Crack!

Crack!

Terrifying bolts of purplish-black lightning suddenly exploded around Zhan Guo.

As these purple-black lightning bolts appeared, a semi-transparent halo also appeared on his fist.

It was clearly a domineering color enveloping it.

"Don't get in the way!"

Sengoku frowned deeply, and said something to Marco in a low, furious voice.

The fist, crackling with purple-black lightning, slammed towards him.

Sengoku made a sudden and swift move, catching Marco completely off guard.

He was instantly blasted away by a punch.

It crashed heavily onto the ground below, creating a deep crater.

This scene captivated everyone present.

The countless pirates and marines who were engaged in battle all looked up.

When they saw that Sengoku had actually taken action himself, everyone was utterly shocked...

"Sengoku... he actually took action himself!"

"No way?! Captain Marco was sent flying with a single punch!"

"Only Ace's brother is left!"

"This is terrible! Ace's brother is all alone. How can he possibly rescue Ace?"

"Forget about rescuing Ace! Can he even survive there by himself?"

For a moment, all the pirates were worried about Luffy.

...

At the same moment!

The Revolutionary Army Headquarters.

Ryu also showed surprise at Sengoku's sudden move, and said in astonishment.

"I never expected that even he, as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, would take action."

"He's trying to ensure that the three admirals can focus all their efforts on dealing with Luffy!"

As he said this, Long frowned, a look of worry appearing in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Sabo, standing to the side, voiced the dragon's innermost thoughts, exclaiming in alarm with worry.

"Oh no!"

"Luffy is going to face the three admirals all by himself!"

"Even Whitebeard couldn't withstand the combined might of the three admirals for long, so Luffy..."

Despite his immense worry and anxiety, Sabo knew there was nothing he could do at the moment.

All I can do is silently pray for Luffy.

"Luffy! Please make sure nothing happens to you!"

...

All nations!

When the old woman saw Sengoku knock Marco away, leaving Luffy to face the three admirals alone once again, she burst into laughter.

"There was only one person left, yet he still kept charging forward."

"That brat is doomed!"

"What, a fifth emperor?"

"In the end, he's just a stupid fool who doesn't know his own mortality!"

"Mommy mommy!"
