Chapter 232 : Go all out to rescue Ace!!

[At this juncture, the scene unfolds with unyielding intensity.]

[As war erupts, the conflict reaches a fever pitch.]

[The Navy's formidable force of one hundred thousand Marines clashes head-on with the swarming legions of Whitebeard Pirates.]

[By all accounts, with such overwhelming naval power, few pirates on the open seas would dare challenge them.]

[Yet, Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, commands respect that transcends mere numbers, his renown dating back to the era of Gol D. Roger.]

[Over the years, those who parted ways with his crew went on to establish their own pirate crews.]

[Now, upon hearing of Ace's plight and the call to arms from Whitebeard, they hasten to his aid without hesitation.]

[Consequently, the numbers of Whitebeard's Pirates increases, matching or even outnumbering the Marines themselves.]

[However, Marineford remains firmly under Navy control.]

[Their tactical advantage and fortified positions form an impenetrable barrier against the advance of Whitebeard's pirates.]

[Even with numerous captains leading the charge, the pirates find themselves unable to breach the impregnable defense line.]

[For Whitebeard himself, the presence of the three admirals keeps him in check, preventing his direct intervention.]

[Meanwhile, the Division captains contend with their own adversaries, including Vice Admirals and even the Warlords of the Sea.]

[Though initially summoned for insurance, the Warlords now stand as formidable opponents in their own right.]

[However, some held divergent views, including Hawkeye and the Empress.]

[Mihawk couldn't resist the urge to test his sword against Whitebeard.]

[After all, one is renowned as the world's greatest swordsman, while the other is famed as the world's strongest man.]

[Their paths had never crossed before, making this an opportune moment for a confrontation.]

[Thus, Hawkeye unsheathed his blade, launching a direct assault towards Whitebeard.]

[In response, Whitebeard remained passive, allowing Captain Diamond Jozi to intercept the strike.]

[Meanwhile, Vista of the Flower Swords approached Hawkeye.]

["Since you're so eager to test your swordsmanship, why not spar with me?"]

[Encountering the figure before him, Hawkeye's interest piqued.]

[Vista of the Flower Swords's reputation had already traversed the seas.]

[Although not as renowned as himself, his prowess was undeniable.]

[For a moment, the two engaged in a duel.]

[The Empress and her cohorts also joined the fray, albeit their actions resembled indiscriminate assaults.]

[Both pirates and navy forces fell one after another under their onslaught.]

[Rather than easing the navy's burden, their intervention only added to the chaos of the battlefield.]

[Nevertheless, Sengoku and the other three Admirals found it difficult to reproach them.]

[After all, the Shichibukai were all pirates, and their summons to Malinfando by him and others was already a considerable honor.]

[Even if asking for their help in fighting against the Whitebeard Pirates seems unrealistic.]

[As long as they don't turn on you right then and there, it's a win.]

[Finally, as the battle grew fiercer, Whitebeard could no longer remain passive.]

[He was standing at the prow of the Moby Dick, slowly raising the Murakumogiri in his hand, and then he said,]

["Hey, everyone! Charge with me and give it your all to rescue Ace!!!"]

[Rumble]

[Following Whitebeard's shout, all the pirates erupted in fury and let out a deafening roar!]

[They surged back towards the naval forces with renewed vigor!]

[Meanwhile, a colossal figure]

[Was slowly approaching Marineford]
