112. The Empress Is Furious, Perfume Femur Magna!

Above Marineford, as the war reached its climax, a figure cloaked in crimson descended from the sky, landing right in the midst of the battlefield.

"It's been a while, Newgate!" the gravelly voice rang out before anyone could fully grasp the situation.

Before anyone could catch their breath, a dark silhouette surged forward with overwhelming force.

"Whitebeard, it's been too long!" The disdainful tone carried a fierce determination, instantly imposing a solemn atmosphere upon the entire battlefield.

But in the next moment, a thunderous roar echoed from above—the unmistakable cry of a dragon.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a colossal azure dragon transformed into human form and gracefully descended upon the heart of the battlefield.

Following closely, a pirate ship emerged from the ice, docking near the Moby Dick.

A hushed silence enveloped the entire battlefield as everyone held their breath.

The sky seemed to darken with their presence alone, casting a shadow over the hearts of all who beheld them, a lingering haze that lingered long after.

It wasn't until much later that a faint voice broke the silence at the heart of the battlefield.

"That's... the legendary pirate who can single-handedly challenge even the Yonko!"

"The man known as Red the Aloof, Patrick Redfield!"

"And standing beside him is the veteran of the Roger Pirates, The Demon Heir!"

"Douglas Bullet!"

"But weren't they both locked up in Impel Down? How did they end up here?"

"Does that even matter?"

"The real question is, why is Kaido of the Beasts, emperor of the sea and leader of the Beasts Pirates, here?"

"Why has the youngest Emperor of the Sea, Red-Haired Shanks, and his crew come to this battlefield?"

Amidst the growing panic at the heart of the battlefield, a storm of turmoil swept across the world.

The ten Marines with the highest combat prowess, each a formidable force atop the world—what havoc will they wreak?

Now, no one can predict.

Among the notable figures in this war, let's focus on one who is a true overlord of the sea.

Red the Aloof Patrick Redfield!

The World's Strongest Man Edward Newgate!

Demon Heir Douglas Bullet!

The youngest Emperor of the Sea - Shanks!

The strongest creature - Kaido!

The Strongest Newcomer - Al!

Nearly encompassing the pinnacle of Marine might!

With titans reigning supreme atop the world!

What ferocious clashes lie ahead!

How vast will this conflict engulf the world in chaos!

Whether it's Kong, commanding the entire army, or the fresh contenders in the fray, or even the gaze of Al.

The magnitude of this war is beyond prediction!

Just as the Redfield finished exchanging words with Whitebeard, a familiar presence instantly drew his attention.

The corner of the Redfield mouth curled slightly as he cast a cold gaze towards Kong standing on the execution platform.

"I didn't anticipate seeing you here. Shall we reminisce? How long has it been since our last encounter?"

With the Redfield's words hanging in the air, Kong's calm demeanor faltered ever so slightly.

"Long time no see," he replied, rare nervousness flickering across his face.

"Patrick Redfield, you've dared to emerge from Impel Down!"

The two locked eyes, unleashing an immense and terrifying pressure that rent the sky asunder.

Witnessing the unfolding scene, Red-Haired Shanks couldn't help but furrow his brow.

This war is beyond his power to halt now.

Bullet and Kaido exchanged a glance, a silent agreement passing between them as they both fixed their gaze on a formidable Marine fighter atop the execution platform.

This unprecedented conflict is poised to shake the very foundations of the world!

Upon seeing the familiar figure before him, Whitebeard's expression shifted slightly. He let out a light sigh before flashing a cold grin.

"Haven't laid eyes on you old dogs in many years!"

As Whitebeard's words hung in the air, several oppressive auras surged skyward.

In a fleeting moment, tens of thousands of Marines and pirates on the battlefield crumpled to the ground under the overwhelming pressure.

Shichibukai, Marines, Four Emperors.

These are the renowned powerhouses of the sea!

Red the Aloof, freshly emerged from Impel Down, and Bullet.

Upon sighting the new figure in the sky emanating a fearsome aura, they couldn't help but feel perplexed.

In their eyes, neither the members of the Whitebeard Pirates nor the Seven Warlords of the Sea are worthy of standing on this battlefield.

Yet, a group of rookies who have only recently set sail not only appear on the battlefield but also overshadow the heavens?

But in the next instant, it appeared he had caught wind of Bullet's hostile stare.

Al crossed his arms, sneered, and gracefully departed from the deck, soaring in front of Nami and the rest.

And by his side,

Two Supreme Swords entwined with Conqueror's Haki, Oto and Kogarashi.

Radiating a formidable sword aura, hovering on Al's left and right.

As Al halted his advance, an even more formidable pressure surged from all the members, closing in on those below them!

Almost simultaneously, all attention was fixed on Al.

Then, in the very next moment,

Hawkeye and the others who had clashed with Shiki, upon witnessing the Supreme Sharp Blades hovering on either side of Al,

And witnessing Al's aerial prowess,

A daring and wild notion sprang forth in their minds!

"Oto, Kogarashi, and flying ?"

"Who would've thought Shiki would fall to a rookie!?"

The moment this notion arose, several probing auras shot skyward, targeting Al directly.

The first to feel the impact was Redfield, who possessed the ultimate Observation Haki and could peer into one's heart.

However, to his astonishment, Redfield found himself unable to penetrate the man's heart.

As he attempted to peer deeper, Redfield felt himself engulfed in endless darkness.

Had it not been for the swift retreat, they might have been ensnared in the abyss by that indescribable force.

"I never expected there to be individuals in this world I couldn't read. How intriguing," he mused.

Even Redfield couldn't penetrate that person's heart?

As Redfield's voice trailed off, a hush fell over all the top powerhouses present.

Confronted with the provocation of several individuals, Al furrowed his brow slightly, then smirked disdainfully.

With the eyes of the world upon him, Al slowly shut his eyes and spoke with a sneer:

"If no one else is willing to make a move, then allow me to ignite the spark of this war."

With Al's words,

Gaze upon Marineford!

In an instant, a pseudo-projection of a colossal screen engulfing half of Marineford materialized before everyone's eyes.

As the image was broadcast, the entire world fell into a stunned silence.

Displayed on the virtual projection was the Charlos family, known for their lavish lifestyle and disdain for commoners, subjecting them to oppression and maltreatment.

Alongside them, the rest of the Celestial Dragons were depicted in scenes of ruthless cruelty, mercilessly bullying and slaughtering civilians, igniting a surge of righteous fury in the hearts of onlookers.

As the screen continues to unfold, the atrocities committed by the Celestial Dragons are laid bare for all to see.

The images resemble scenes from hell itself.

In an instant,

The entire world erupts into a massive uproar.

Countless voices of outrage echo across the globe.

"Hateful!"

"We sacrifice so much gold every year, only for these damned Celestial Dragons to..."

"Curse the Celestial Dragons!"

Meanwhile, at the Sabaody Archipelago,

In a shadowy corner,

Dragon, cloaked in black, alongside Sabo and other Revolutionary Army officers,

Upon witnessing the broadcasted images, they grit their teeth and ball their fists.

"These scoundrels...!"

Sabo's eyes blazed with fury!

If not for Dragon's intervention, Sabo, teetering on the edge of losing control to his rage, might have unleashed something uncontrollable!

"Since someone has halted Luffy, it's time we return!" Long's icy tone carried a hint of anger, but now wasn't the moment for the Revolutionary Army to plunge into all-out war!

No matter how infuriated they felt, they couldn't afford to be blinded by anger in this critical moment.

They watched in solemn silence as a series of grim events unfolded on the colossal virtual projection in Marineford.

In the heart of the battlefield, Marines and pirates alike find themselves profoundly shaken by the harrowing images playing on the virtual projection.

Though they may be pirates, their actions typically revolve around plundering, not inflicting such gruesome cruelty upon civilians.

Under Whitebeard's command, such atrocities against civilians are strictly forbidden.

The thought of opening chests and extracting hearts while the victim is conscious, merely for amusement?

Or stripping away skin while they're awake, only to douse them in scalding oil?

The sheer barbarity of such acts leaves them reeling in horror.

Merely gazing upon the unimaginable cruelty depicted in the image evokes unspeakable agony.

The piercing screams and callous laughter of the Celestial Dragons only compound the anguish.

"Is this the evil you Marines defend?"

A sudden roar erupts in the heart of the battlefield!

After witnessing the grim scenes unfold on the large screen, all the Marines hang their heads in solemn silence.

Each anguished cry feels like a dagger stabbing deep into their hearts.

On the execution stand...

Observing the Marine soldiers below, Kong contemplated taking action, only to find himself ensnared by a menacing aura of ultimate power.

"Damn Redfield!" Kong's icy words dripped with anger.

With Kong's frustrated outburst, hostile glares instantly fixated on everyone on the execution platform.

Though they understood the urgency of halting the unfolding scene, they dared not act at this juncture.

For with a single move, this volatile and dreadful war could erupt at any moment!

If such a scenario were to unfold...

The ensuing tempest would undoubtedly engulf the entire world, plunging it into utter chaos!

Meanwhile on Amazon Lily...

As the Celestial Dragons brand the slaves with the mark of the "Hoof of the Soaring Dragon" on the big screen,

Gloriosa clenches the hem of her garment tightly, a look of terror etched across her face.

"Snake Princess... you must stay composed!"

Simultaneously, on the outskirts of the battlefield...

Upon witnessing the image of the Celestial Dragons branding the "Hoof of the Soaring Dragon" on the slaves, the Empress was consumed by an overwhelming fury.

With an eruption of ultimate rage, accompanied by an aura of ultimate devastation, she unleashed her wrath upon Charlos, the Celestial Dragon suspended in mid-air.

"Perfume Femur Magna (Grand Aromatic Leg)!"
