"Wow~ This place is so energetic! But do we have to keep fighting this battle, Uncle Whitebeard?"

The guy with red hair tilted his hat down a bit, and he stopped scanning around when he noticed Teach badly hurt.

"Gurarara! War is serious business. Once it kicks off, stopping it isn't a walk in the park!"

Whitebeard is still standing tall, and his injuries don't seem to slow him down one bit.

"I get it, so..." 

Clang——! ! !

Shanks leaped to the top of the warship, swiftly drawing his long knife from his side. The sound of the blade sliding against the scabbard echoed crisply.

"Time to put an end to this war!"

Unfortunately, his prized saber Gryphon was likely 'confiscated' by that Marine in the Marine Headquarters' warehouse. Despite searching the storage room and director's office at Impel Down during the chaos, he found nothing. In a pinch, he had to make do by seizing a replacement from a commandeered warship.

Shout—! !

A scream pierced the air.

"Oh——!! Hey, kid, move!!"

Before the pirates behind Shanks could even start cheering, a laser, following Atlas's gaze, targeted Shanks.

Clang! ! !

Despite putting up a brief resistance, even the long knife coated in Armament Haki melted into molten iron in an instant and got pierced.

Zhi——! !

Sparks scattered in all directions, finally breaching Shanks' haki defense and then fading away.

"Phew! That was terrifying. I seriously thought I was a goner!"

With no time to assess the blade's damage, Shanks patted his chest, a joyful expression on his face.

Then, he shifted his focus to Atlas.

That Marine... is truly frightening! !

"What on earth is that? How can a Marine's eyes shoot out something like that? Is it a Devil Fruit?"

"Regardless of what he is, right now, I just want to take down a few Marines to let off some steam!!"

The pirate behind Shanks was equally taken aback.

But ultimately, it boils down to the might of the Devil Fruit. Having sailed the seas for numerous years, these pirates had grown accustomed to encountering all sorts of bizarre fruit abilities.

Of course, if they witnessed Atlas's other powers, they would likely realize how trivial their current speculations were.

I mean, whose Devil Fruit can use so many powers all at once! !

Even if it's a Mythical Zoan type, there should be some clues to trace. At the very least, it would tie back to the legendary creature's own abilities.

"Tsk, what a shame."

Observing that Shanks had narrowly escaped death, Atlas didn't dwell on him too much.

The real menace in front of us is Whitebeard! !

"Newgate, you won't walk away today!"

Sengoku calmly observed Whitebeard, who was covered in wounds, but inwardly, he sighed.

He and Whitebeard had always been both friends and enemies, yet as a Marine, he couldn't afford any sentimentality.

Today, Whitebeard must be detained in Marineford! !

"Gurararara!!"

Whitebeard stood firm with his sword, his gaze profound as he swiftly assessed the battlefield.

Marco's eyes were heavy-lidded, the ever-burning green flames on his body had dwindled to the brink. His chest heaved violently, and his labored breaths resonated audibly, cutting through the tension.

"Mister, you are running on fumes, why put up a fight?"

Issho gradually fortified the surrounding force field, and an overwhelming pressure pressed down on Marco.

"Haha, old man, planning to nab me without any assistance? My dad is—"

"Whitebeard!!"

Boom—! ! !

The blue flames on Marco's body surged suddenly. His arms transformed into colossal wings spanning the sky, his feet morphed into razor-sharp claws, and a swift cascade of armament haki enveloped him.

Hoo-in (Phoenix Seal)! ! !

A formidable shockwave erupted, completely shrouding Issho's imposing figure!

This marked his final stand, using the enduring nature of the immortal blue flame to ensnare Issho.

But, that's where it concluded.

"Oh? What a resilient will to survive!"

With a smile, he opened his closed eyes, revealing white pupils. He stood the staff and knife before him, leisurely unsheathing it.

"In that case, I'll give you a lift!!"

"Gravito Moko (Gravity Blade: Fierce Tiger)!!!"

The amassed gravitational force slashed forth, painting the surroundings in shades of purple. The contorted force field, the fractured air—everything relentlessly pressed on Marco's nerves.

"Hoo-! Hoo-!!"

Vista struggled to breathe while wielding two swords. The robes that once adorned his body now hung in tatters, blood seeping through the crisscrossing gaps. Finding an intact patch on his body seemed almost impossible.

However, Yamakaji and Onigumo weren't faring much better.

They, too, bore numerous wounds inflicted by slashing attacks.

While Vista's swordplay may be flashy, the underlying danger beneath that flamboyance should not be underestimated.

Every petal of cherry blossom consists of countless subtle cuts, showcasing the precision in this swordsmanship.

Truly frightening! !

Yet, two fists are ultimately no match for four hands.

No matter how potent Vista's swordsmanship is, he finds himself unsustainable and crumbling in the face of the two formidable Vice Admirals, Yamakaji and Onigumo .

Jozu against Tokikake...

Thatch, Izo, and Rakuyo join forces to confront Gion...

...many, many. Whitebeard assessed the battlefield's situation step by step.

Despite the see-sawing battle and the aid of certain prisoners Red Hair brought from Impel Down, the overall tide has now turned for the worse. The primary objective this time seems unattainable, prompting most pirates to contemplate a retreat.

Ultimately, there's little sense in persisting with a war that has lost its purpose.

However, Marine couldn't just let them slip away so easily.

The Marine Headquarters isn't a place where you can come and go whenever you please!

What Sengoku must do now is to capitalize on the developments! !

"Gurararara!! Sons, we're pirates, and naturally, we've got to carve our own path to the future!!"

Whitebeard abruptly pivoted, aimed at Atlas, and sent a shockwave towards Sengoku with his left hand.

"Ittoryu: Iai!!"

Atlas showed no fear, swiftly advancing with a horizontal sword. Haki enveloped the Kaminari, blocking Whitebeard's slash.

Buzz—! !

On the opposite end, Sengoku in the Buddha form unleashed a shockwave, dispersing Whitebeard's shockwave. Without relenting, he charged toward Whitebeard's body with unbridled force.

"Um?!"

However, surprisingly, Whitebeard showed no intention of dodging or countering the shockwave behind him. Instead, he gripped Murakumogiri with both hands.

Leaving his back entirely exposed to Sengoku.

'This kid shares the same ability as Shiki. As long as he stays conscious, Marco and the rest won't be able to break free! !'

Whitebeard's expression turned suddenly fierce, veins bulging on his neck.

He refused to believe that this guy's healing prowess could persist indefinitely! !

Buzz—! !

Shockwaves materialized on the blade, and the air above Atlas' head fractured inch by inch. Raw power alone could no longer halt the shockwave's expansion.

Boom! ! !

The ice shattered, creating a vacuum zone directly in the seawater. Whitebeard thrust Atlas into the water, and his entire form appeared mirrored, with fine cracks irregularly spread across his body.

A significant amount of blood splattered, staining the surrounding seawater scarlet.

Swish——! ! !

Simultaneously, Sengoku's Great Buddha shockwave had already struck Whitebeard's body. The intense impact swiftly pierced through Whitebeard from behind.

Internal organs, bones, and some remaining intestines were exposed to the air.

"Gurararara! Cough——!!"

A mouthful of blood interrupted Whitebeard's laughter.

Observing him, he thrust the Murakumogiri in his hand into the ice, crossed his fists on his chest, and suddenly flung his fists in both sides. Two shockwaves erupted instantly. The world before him seemed to shatter in an instant, and one wave proved more violent than the previous. The tumult spread once again! ! !

"Gurarara!! My sons, listen up, I am giving... the last order!!!"
