The Final Battle with The Marines and Blackbeard's Plan

"Pant, pant!" After releasing this attack, Nagasawa panted heavily as if he was really exhausted.

Marco, Ace, and the Division Captains of Whitebeard Pirates quickly guarded Nagasawa in case someone attacked the exhausted Nagasawa.

"Pops, do you want to ask for reinforcements from our ally outside?" Marco said.

He knew that the situation was still bad, and he couldn't let his guard down at all, even if he saved Ace.

The Marines were much stronger than them. Hadn't it been for Nagasawa's overwhelming strength to the point that he almost killed one of the three Admirals, they would have been at a disadvantage.

If Nagasawa was losing, it wouldn't be so easy to retreat.

Because of Nagasawa's attack, Marineford was in tatters, and now it was much easier to enter the inner bay than before.

If the forty-three Pirate Crew in the outer bay came in to help, it would be much easier to retreat.

They were pirates of the New World, and the captain of each ship had extraordinary strength.

"No need. Ace has been rescued. There's no need to risk their lives for our retreat." Nagasawa rejected Marco's idea.

It was easy to come in, but it was hard to get out.

If they suffered heavy losses, it would be counted as failing the mission, so Nagasawa would not ask those pirates to come in.

Having them take care of the Marines in the outer bay was good enough. In addition to securing their escape route, they also relieved the pressure on Nagasawa.

"I won't let you criminals escape." A voice came from the Marines.

It was the seriously injured Akainu who once again stood up. A serious wound was seen on Akainu's chest. There was also a lot of ​​blood on his clothes, but it was unknown whether it was his blood or the blood of the pirates he killed.

Akainu's arms turned into magma and launched a lot of fist-shaped magma toward the sky.

"Meteor Volcano!"

Akainu once again used his strongest area attack. He wanted to sink all the pirate ships in the inner bay and crush the hope of the pirates to retreat.

In fact, all the ships in the inner bay should have been destroyed when he used Meteor Volcano earlier, but Nagasawa's attack protected their flagship.

As a result, Akainu's Meteor Volcano only destroyed two sub-ships of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Right after Akainu attacked, Kizaru also turned into a golden light and kicked Nagasawa.

But before Nagasawa could do anything, a blue figure blocked Kizaru.

Marco used his blue flame wings to block Kizaru's light-speed kick and said with a smile: "Our king is resting. This place is off-limits."

"Ooohh, a Division Captain really is scary." Kizaru said with a mocking smile.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Kizaru's leg burst out a golden light and directly kicked Marco's flame wings.

But Marco wasn't a pushover either. His claws which were burning with blue flames, were also aimed at Kizaru's chest.

But Kizaru was very fast. He instantly turned into a flash of light and distanced himself from Marco.

At this moment, Marco's broken wings burned with blue flames and instantly restored themselves, leaving no trace of injury at all.

On the other side, Aokiji was also blocked by Ace and Jozu, who had recovered their strength.

Now that the offensive and the defensive were swapped, the pirates could breathe slightly easier.

Seeing that the two Admirals were stopped, Nagasawa looked at the huge magma in the sky that was like a meteor shower.

"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!" Nagasawa quickly made a series of hand seals, drawing a large amount of seawater to form a large water barrier to protect Moby Dick.

Rumble!!!

The magma evaporated the ice footing, reverting it back into the sea.

The magma also hit Nagasawa's Water Wall, and even though it managed to evaporate a large amount of water and produced a lot of white mist, it had not broken through the defense of the Water Formation Wall.

"Whitebeard!" Seeing that the two Admirals were stopped, Sengoku took matters into his own hand. He directly attacked Nagasawa's Water Formation Wall, instantly breaking the water formation wall that had been weakened by the magma.

Nagasawa didn't show the previous ability he had when he faced Sengoku's attack, as if he didn't see Sengoku's attack coming. He forcibly endured this shock wave, and a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this scene, Sengoku's frown finally disappeared.

At the end of the day, Whitebeard was an ill and old man. No matter how strong he was, there was bound to be exhausted.

Sengoku assumed that Whitebeard couldn't dodge his attack because of his illness and because Whitebeard had hit his limit.

"Pops!" A pirate next to him shouted worriedly.

"I'm fine!" Nagasawa shook his head and motioned for the pirates to retreat. Then he said to Sengoku, "It seems you've been slacking off after you became a Fleet Admiral. Such a weak attack can't kill me!"

"Humph, then try this one for size!" the huge golden Buddha punched a shockwave at Nagasawa again.

At this time, the layer of ice in the inner bay had been destroyed by Akainu's Meteor Volcano and turned back into the sea. Sengoku could only attack Nagasawa from the square.

Nagasawa raised his right fist and used Tremor-Tremor Fruit's ability to shatter Sengoku's shock wave.

With Nagasawa's experience in acting, it would be too obvious that he was faking it if he took too many attacks. He should block most of the attacks and let himself get hit by the weaker attack and make it seem like it was because of his illness.

"Kuzan, freeze the sea." Sengoku said to Aokiji.

It was necessary in order to prevent Nagasawa and the others from escaping so easily and to provide a footing for the Marines!

Aokiji, who had to deal with Jozu and Ace, suddenly blasted a large amount of ice, sealing Ace and Jozu in ice, then sent ice waves toward the sea.

Krrkkk!

Once again, a thick layer of ice formed on the sea's surface, causing Moby Dick to be unable to move.

But what Aokiji didn't know was that Nagasawa left a mark on Ace when he saved him.

Nagasawa used Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared from Moby dick.

Nagasawa, who was carrying Murakumogiri, suddenly appeared next to Aokiji. Murakumogiri, which was already imbued with Color of Arms Haki, instantly penetrated Aokiji's chest in the next moment.

Aokiji lived up to his reputation as an Admiral as he reacted very quickly! Although his chest was penetrated by Nagasawa, he sent ice through Murakumogiri, freezing it along with Nagasawa!

Bang!

Nagasawa burst out his strength and broke the ice in an instant.

Although Nagasawa broke out of the ice in an instant, Aokiji also seized the opportunity to distance himself from Nagasawa.

At this moment, the ice that had frozen Ace was also melted by Ace's flames, and he successfully broke free.

"Pops, why don't you rest on the ship for a while?" Ace worriedly said as he saw the blood on the corner of Nagasawa's mouth.

Nagasawa smoothly rescued Jozu, who was frozen in ice, and laughed, "It's okay, I won't fall before I make sure my sons are safe."

Ace looked at Nagasawa worriedly and then walked towards the ice. He wanted to free their frozen ship from the ice.

With the thick ice blocking Moby Dick's advance, Sengoku turned into a golden Buddha and rushed towards Moby Dick.

A large number of pirates along the way were sent flying by Sengoku.

Right when Sengoku was about to destroy Moby Dick with one punch, Nagasawa came back using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Even though Whitebeard was more than six meters tall in One Piece Universe, he was very small in front of the golden Buddha, which was dozens of meters tall.

Let alone the six meters tall Whitebeard, even the giant's tall body was like a child in front of Sengoku.

Seeing Nagasawa appear, Sengoku's momentum instantly became stronger. He roared, and his Color of Supreme King Haki burst out, causing some pirates around him to faint. He raised his golden fist which was bigger than a house and smashed it toward Nagasawa.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

This huge fist created a strong wind that blew some of the weaker pirates on the Moby Dick away and fell on the ice.

It was easy to imagine what kind of power it would have if it hit someone. Those below Vice-Admiral would probably die.

Nagasawa also refused to be outdone as he released his own Color of Supreme King Haki!

At the same time, Nagasawa used Tremor-Tremor Fruit's ability on Murakumogiri's blade and struck Sengoku's incoming punch.

Rumble!!!!

A loud explosion sounded. The aftermath of the collision between the two actually destroyed the surrounding ice, and countless pieces of ice scattered in the air.

At the same time, the two powerful Color of Supreme King Haki collided with each other, causing a devastating clash. Even the clouds in the sky were torn apart as if the sky had split open.

"Sengoku!"

Nagasawa stomped the ground, flashing throughout the battlefield as he lifted Murakumogiri and slashed at the golden Buddha's stomach. The powerful vibration force almost knocked out Sengoku in his Golden Buddha form.

"Whitebeard!"

Sengoku was not to be outdone. A powerful shockwave hit Nagasawa's body, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Water Breathing Ninth Form: Splashing Water Flow, Turbulent!" Nagasawa used Water Breathing along with his chakra to draw out a large amount of seawater to dance around Murakumogiri. In the end, he compressed the seawater into the shape of a small javelin and swung Murakumogiri toward Sengoku.

Sengoku had no way to dodge as his body was huge in size, so Sengoku directly blasted a powerful golden shockwave toward the water javelin.

Rumble!!!

The golden shockwave collided with the compressed seawater javelin. Both canceled out each other, causing a loud noise.

However, Nagasawa's technique had a follow-up attack.

A huge waterspout containing Water Breathing's slash wave was instantly formed and headed toward Sengoku.

Although the 20-meter-tall waterspout was not even half the height of Sengoku, the seawater and Water Breathing's slash wave inside was bad news.

Facing the incoming waterspout, Sengoku's expression did not change. He attacked again and broke the waterspout, but he did not expect that the waterspout actually contained countless slash wave.

The waterspout dispersed, and the compressed blade of Water Breathing was launched toward Sengoku, inflicting countless minor wounds to Sengoku.

Nagasawa laughed loudly and once again rushed toward Sengoku while carrying Murakumogiri.

Sengoku also ignored the small wounds on his body and continued to fight with Nagasawa. However, Sengoku was retreating towards the square as he fought.

Blackbeard, who had been secretly observing Nagasawa, felt that Whitebeard should run out of gas soon. It was time for him to make his entrance.

If he seized Tremor-Tremor Fruit's ability, he would be invincible, especially with his Dark-Dark Fruit's ability as well!
