After a brief confrontation, the Gale Emperor Pirates' elite commanders—Demiurge, Albedo, Yuta Okkotsu, and Power—unleashed a simultaneous attack and charged towards the Whitebeard Pirates.
Marco the Phoenix, serving as the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, led his crew into action.
Among them were Diamond Jozu, the third division commander of Whitebeard Pirates.
Vista, fifth Division commander.
Blamenco, Sixth Division commander, along with others who brandished their weapons and rushed to face Demiurge and his comrades head-on!
A thunderous "Boom!" echoed as the clash of devil fruit abilities unfolded.
Marco swung his arms, unleashing a torrent of blue flames!
In the blink of an eye, his arms transformed into colossal green flame wings, propelling him towards Demiurge.
"Whoosh!"
"Hoo-in!!" Marco grunted, as his feet transformed into crane-like claws under his devil fruit's ability effect.
Utilizing the momentum of his high-speed flight, he struck out with his claws at Demiurge!
"Shua!!"
However, his plan was thwarted, and it did not come to fruition.
Just as he was closing in on Demiurge, Yuta Okkotsu swiftly drew his longsword and took the initiative to meet and counter Marco's attack!
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!"
A resounding crash filled the air as Marco's powerful blow met Yuta's defense head-on.
Yuta held firm against Marco's attack with ease, showing no signs of difficulty on his face.
Witnessing his attack being completely blocked, Marco couldn't help but emit a faint exhalation. He flapped his transformed wings to create distance from Yuta and prepared to attack again!
Simultaneously, the others were also embroiled in intense battles.
Demiurge faced off against Vista, the fifth division commander of the Whitebeard pirates.
While Albedo confronted Diamond Jozu, the third division commander of the Whitebeard pirates.
Power, on the other hand, took on Blamenco, the sixth division commander of the Whitebeard pirates.
The tension between the two sides was palpable, and a fierce battle was about to break out between the two sides!
Despite their efforts, Demiurge and his companions managed to restrain the four divison commanders of Whitebeard Pirates.
However, the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates, who were in the vicinity, had no one to impede them at this moment!
Instead of coming to Marco and the others' aid, they rushed forward without hesitation, aiming straight for the execution platform.
Their unwavering belief was that Marco and other commanders would never be defeated.
As they approached the square, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates were filled with joy and hope, anticipating that they would soon reach the platform and rescue Ace.
Yet, reality was about to deliver a harsh blow.
The reality they were about to face was cruel.
Before they could even reach Marineford's square, Marine troops stood on both sides, blocking their path.
Moreover, dozens of Gale Emperor Pirates members, led by senior crew members including former Carnes guards Inouk, Lacey, Lydia, and others, surrounded the Whitebeard Pirates from two different directions.
"You can't let them pass by so easily!" Inouk declared sternly, holding a long sword, his voice low and intense.
Beside him, Lacey, with an indifferent expression, added with a calm demeanor, "Our purpose in coming here is not to lighten the burden on these guys!"
Lydia's voice rang out, filled with determination, "Let's go!"
And so, Inouk, Lacey, and Lydia swiftly darted forward, charging ahead towards the Whitebeard pirates, their figures a blur.
"Swoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!"
Following suit, the numerous members of the Gale Emperor Pirates at the rear let out a resounding battle cry, all keeping pace with Inouk and the others' charge, following their lead in full force.
"Advance!!"
On the other side of the battlefield, the Six Paths of Pain, now under Nagato's control, stood as an indomitable front - an unstoppable force.
These six figures resembled Shinigami, swiftly reaping the lives of both Marine and Whitebeard pirates alike.
Facing the relentless assault, the Six Pains stood unfazed, they were anything but defenseless.
Their purple eyes scanning the surroundings, sharing their vision with each other, rendering any sneak attack futile.
"Bang! Bang!"
"Puff!!"
"Boom!!"
"Ugh!!"
The Animal Path Pain easily disarmed a pirate with a swift strike, knocking the weapon out of his hand.
With a quick maneuver, the pirate's arm was pulled forward, leaving him vulnerable to a knee strike.
"Bam!!"
The struck pirate staggered, feeling the impact in his jaw.
In that moment, the Animal Path Pain quickly formed hand seals and delivered a powerful strike to the pirate's abdomen.
"Summoning Technique!"
"Boom!"
The pirate was sent flying by the force of the Animal Path Pain's attack.
As he flew backward, a dark mantra, like a spider's web, rapidly spread across his abdomen.
In the next second, he crashed heavily to the ground.
Slowly, a massive bird's beak emerged from the pirate's abdomen.
The excruciating pain overwhelmed the pirate as the huge bird's head gradually emerged, causing the veins in the pirate's body to bulge as he howled in agony.
"Ugh!!!"
The huge bird's beak and head emerged, emitting a sharp sound that reverberated throughout Marineford.
The Giant Drill-Beaked Bird's figure was now fully revealed, and the pirate, its unwilling carrier, lost consciousness on the spot.
In the next moment, the bird flapped its enormous wings with tremendous force, taking to the skies.
"Boom!!"
The powerful gusts of wind caused the surrounding Marines and Pirates to instinctively shield their eyes.
However, the sight of the colossal bird spreading its wings and soaring into the sky was overshadowed by the shocking visual of it emerging from the pirate's stomach.
The memory of the anguished cries of the affected pirate, along with the terrifying aura exuded by the colossal and peculiar bird, caused everyone present to involuntarily take a step back, overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of the spectacle.
Both Marines and Pirates looking at Animal Path Pain were filled with horror, and their very body trembled ever so slightly.
In that tense moment, the Animal Path Pain abruptly turned his head, and his majestic purple eyes, adorned with ominous black rings, locked onto the bewildered onlookers, scanning the surroundings.
This startling sight sent shivers down the spines of the nearby Marines and Pirates alike, causing them to gasp in fear and instinctively retreat a step.
After all, none of them desired to experience the sensation of a colossal and terrifying monster emerging from their own stomach!
