About 1.5 hours since the war started, 20 Pacifista, led by Sentoumaru, came and attacked the pirates.

Seeing the Pacifistas arriving, the pirates on Whitebeard's side realized that had not Whitebeard previously ordered them to spread out left and right, they would all become easy targets.

Shortly after, one of the pirates on Whitebeard's side, Squard, was spotted on the Moby Dick ship and approached Whitebeard who was standing on the bridge.

Whitebeard then looked back and asked him.

"Squard, are you all right? You couldn't be contacted earlier."

While still walking closer, Squard answered.

"Yeah, sorry about that, Oyaji. Our side was heavily attacked."

Hearing Squard's words, Whitebeard nodded slightly.

"The Marines have put all their strength into it.... Soon, I will also advance! We will also muster all we have."

Whitebeard said firmly looking at the increasingly hot battlefield.

"That's right. We all owe you a huge debt. For the sake of the Whitebeard Pirates, we would all gladly sacrifice our lives!"

Squard said as he raised his sword in front of Whitebeard.

Marco who was on the battlefield then noticed and saw Squard.

"Hm? Why is Squard there?"

Marco is confused as to why Squard is on the Moby Dick and not fighting with the others.

The others also looked confused and wondering.

But then they got the answer.

*jleb!!!

Squard stabs Whitebeard!

Seeing that, all of those on the pirate side were completely dumbfounded and shocked!

While those on the Marine side weren't too surprised.

Marco immediately flew and headed for Moby Dick and suppressed Squard!

"What are you doing, Squard!"

Marco angrily shouted at Squard who was beneath him.

Squard tried to struggle and answer back.

"Shut up! You guys forced me to do this!"

Seeing Marco and Squard arguing, Whitebeard then spoke.

"Marco, I'm fine...."

Hearing Whitebeard's statement, Marco and Squard who were there, as well as the others from both sides were confused. Even though he had just been stabbed, why did Whitebeard said that he was fine instead? They then paid closer attention to Whitebeard.

And after looking closely, they were surprised! They saw that Squard's sword wasn't actually stuck in Whitebeard's body!

"What?"

"It's...."

"What's that?"

"Tear?"

"Tear? Rip in the air!?"

"What happened exactly!?"

"What does it mean!?"

Those from both sides were quite astonished!

Because they saw Squard's sword didn't pierce Whitebeard's body, but pierced into a purple-black tear!

Then a laugh was heard in the midst of their surprise.

"Hehahahaha! Play fair, Marine! Don't play dirty here! I want to watch a clean and interesting fight!"

Lepus, who opened the gap to show himself a little, smirked and made a statement.

"That's...!?"

"Rex Lepus!"

"He made the tear!?"

People were astonished to realize that what was preventing Whitebeard from being stabbed was Lepus!

"Damn it! Why did that kid interfere!"

Sengoku frowned, annoyed that his plan was slightly off the mark.

Lepus then casually spoke again before closing the gap again.

"Continue the war...."
