211 Battle Plan

"Yasakani no Magatama!" 

Whitebeard witnessed Kizaru's form rapidly turning into beams of light, leaping higher into the air.

Then, golden light flickered, and numerous golden light bullets were unleashed.

The number of these light bombs is too many, the range is also very large, and the speed is very fast.

Whitebeard remained motionless, refraining from employing any defensive maneuvers.

Those dazzling light bombs continued to collide with Whitebeard's body, creating a resounding barrage.

"Oyajiii!" 

Marco felt a moment of concern when he saw Whitebeard's doesn't move, but he didn't have time to dwell on it at that moment.

Because the direction Kizaru sent his light barrage was directly toward the Whitebeard pirate crew.

The light bullets that missed Whitebeard struck members of their pirate group.

In response, Marco swiftly transformed into a phoenix, taking flight into the sky. He voluntarily intercepted the light bullets, using his body as a shield against the attacks.

Fortunately, these attacks didn't inflict any serious damage on Marco. However, due to their sheer number, he couldn't completely intercept them on his own.

"Damn, there are still too many!" 

Marco felt a bit anxious.

At that moment, Vista also sprang into action. He wielded his double swords, slashing and deflecting the light bullets, resolving many of them.

However, against an Admiral's attack, it wasn't so simple. 

Each time Vista used a sword to counteract a light bullet, the palm of his hand would receive a shock.

His palms were a bit numb from the shocks, and simultaneously, Charles Vane quickly rushed to the front.

His Wind-Wind Fruit also enabled him to generate a wide array of maneuvers.

They witnessed Charles Vane summoning a large-scale whirlwind in the air, forming a protective barrier.

However, this kind of whirlwind obviously couldn't completely block the light bomb. After all, this move was known as the speed of light.

When the light bomb passed through the whirlwind, its power was weakened, and then the other crew defended against it.

Even if it struck the hull, its impact was limited. 

With everyone's cooperation, Kizaru's attacks were effectively resisted..

But this also just made some captains understand that their strength is still too bad.

Kizaru's primary focus was on dealing with Whitebeard.

Even so, it required the collective efforts of many to handle the Admiral's attacks and prevent significant damage.

Whitebeard had been aware of this for a while, deliberately choosing not to attempt to block all the light bullets.

The goal was to provide the commanders with an opportunity for training, as chances to face an Admiral don't come by often.

Currently, Whitebeard could utilize Kizaru to train his commanders.

It's indeed a valuable opportunity, and with Whitebeard present, he wouldn't let those commanders and Kizaru face each other alone.

Of course, in addition to the light bombs, Marco and the others also had to defend against the barrage of cannonballs.

All the commanders were giving their best to shield the pirate group while simultaneously initiating a counterattack.

Marco intended to dispatch two ships to confront the three warships trailing them, but he soon realized that the Red-Haired Pirate crew had already started their move.

Hence, Marco only dispatched one ship to assist the Red-Haired crew, but the current situation was a bit unfavorable for the Whitebeard Pirates.

The Whitebeard Pirates were dealing with the frontal assault from seven warships, and they also had three ships trailing them.

Simultaneously, as the Red-Haired crew was held back by the warship trailing them, the Marines also freed up Garp and Momousagi.

Simultaneously, two Vice Admirals from headquarters were present, and the remaining three were aboard the three warships positioned at the rear.

"The Red-Haired crew is heading to deal with the warship circling behind. Let's launch our attack now" 

Momousagi swiftly proposed upon observing the change in the Red Hair Pirates' direction.

"Well, this is our chance to launch a full-strength attack" 

Garp also agreed with a nod.

As result, Marine's firepower blazed in full force, relentlessly launching attacks. 

Meanwhile, Garp relentlessly drove Whitebeard higher into the air with his assaults.

Garp landed a powerful punch on Whitebeard, but it didn't inflict significant damage.

Simultaneously, Momousagi leaped into the air, slashing at Whitebeard with her sword.

With a resounding clash, Momousagi's sword strike was met by Whitebeard, causing the sword slash to break in half, leaving no mark on the formidable pirate.

"What an incredible physique. It's truly amazing!" 

Momousagi marveled at the sheer strength of Whitebeard's formidable body.

Whitebeard's formidable resistance against Garp and Momousagi's attacks, all without utilizing Armament Haki, truly showcased the sheer might of his primal strength.

Their attack couldn't even break Whiteebard defense, although Garp told Momousagi some psychological preparations beforehand.

Witnessing Whitebeard's might firsthand, Momousagi couldn't help but be awestruck.

Their combined strength seemed insufficient in the face of Whitebeard's might. Following Garp's original plan appeared to be the only viable option.

Their strategy was clear: focus on containing Whitebeard rather than aiming for an effective attack or defeating him.

Momousagi quickly adapted her strategy. With Garp and Kizaru handling Whitebeard, she took charge of engaging Whitebeard's commander directly.

Momousagi swiftly switched back to the warship and directed the warship to approach, unleashing cannon fire while on the move.

In no time, having reached an optimal distance, Momousagi leaped directly, accompanied by the charge of Marine soldiers.

The quantity of individuals on Whitebeard's side is actually quite comparable to that of Marine. The primary distinction lies in their power.

Marine ships are equipped with powerful artillery, and Marine soldiers also have muskets.

Therefore, the primary factor in a battle between pirate crews and the regular Marines is the prowess of the commanders.

Facing Momousagi's assault, Marco took the initiative to intercept her and engage in combat. Marco possesses the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, the Phoenix Fruit, so he doesn't afraid getting hurt from Momousagi sword attack

"Let's me see and test your strength!" Momousagi yelled.

"Hmph, as you wish!" 

Marco's figure transformed into a cyan flame, launching an attack on Momousagi.

Marine also dispatched two headquarters Vice Admirals, one to face Vista and the other to confront Charles Vane.

The remaining Commanders on Whitebeard's side are assisting the regular crew against the Marine soldiers.

And Red Hair Pirates also gradually approached the three warships that circled behind.

"Stop your attack! I don't want to cause unnecessary casualties" 

Red Hair declared, standing proudly at the Red Force bow, addressing the Marine Vice Admirals.

"Shanks, do you want someone to give you a face again?" 

One of the Vice Admirals suddenly mocked. 

Because of the previous summit war, the originally chaotic battlefield was forced to end because of the arrival of Shanks.

One of Shanks's iconic words is 'Give me some face'.

Marine naturally refused to listen to Shanks' words at this time, and used it as an opportunity to mock the red-haired pirate.

"If that's how it is, then let the battle begin" 

Red-haired Shanks casually declared.

The Red Hair Pirates launched their counterattack, with Shanks himself carefully selecting his opponents rather than engaging just anyone.

At this time, the sea was suddenly chaotic, and there were turbulent waves everywhere.
