Chapter 70: The Whitebeard Pirates' Last Stand (Fixed)

"Akainu, go to hell!"

Just as Akainu was about to charge at Whitebeard, a voice suddenly reached his ears. Squard had already appeared in front of him. Without a word, he raised his long sword and slashed at Akainu with all his might.

"The deceived worm is furious!" Akainu sneered. Magma instantly covered his arm as he threw a punch.

"Boom!" Sword met fist. Although Squard was strong, he was no match for Akainu. In less than a round, Squard was sent flying by Akainu's punch, his body covered in magma. Squard let out a terrible scream.

After dealing with Squard, Akainu didn't linger. He stepped on the ground, instantly leaping into the air. In the next second, he landed in front of Whitebeard.

"Already at the end of your rope, and still struggling in vain! Watch me send you to hell!" Akainu's eyes were filled with cold-blooded determination. His arm was covered in magma to the extreme, droplets of magma falling to the ground with a sizzling sound.

"Gurarara, another brat has grown up, thinking he can challenge me?" Whitebeard's veins bulged as he threw a punch with his arm glowing white. Akainu charged head-on.

"Boom!" Akainu and Whitebeard's fists collided, sending shockwaves rippling outwards and cracking the ice beneath their feet.

"Before I fall, you will not touch my sons!" Whitebeard declared in a steady voice.

"If you insist on seeking death, I will grant your wish!" Akainu immediately unleashed his full power. His whole body was covered in magma.

While Akainu and Akainu were clashing, Sengoku gave an order from the execution platform: "Deploy the Pacifistas!" With Sengoku's command, the Navy's trump card, the human weapon Pacifistas, were brought onto Marineford's stage. Hundreds of Pacifistas appeared in everyone's sight, firing laser beams towards the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Shuu shuu shuu!!" Amidst the turbulent war, the Pacifistas' role as human weapons was maximized. Under their laser beams, the Whitebeard Pirates could hardly defend themselves. Although Pacifistas were not very strong individually, their combined firepower and destructive power were comparable to many Vice Admirals.

The barrage of a hundred Pacifistas was unstoppable. The Whitebeard Pirates' previous advantage turned into a disadvantage in an instant. Whitebeard, who was fighting Akainu, also noticed the changes on the battlefield and frowned. The Pacifistas were a significant threat that needed to be eliminated quickly.

However, Akainu seized the opportunity during Whitebeard's momentary distraction. Already almost exhausted, Whitebeard faced Akainu in his prime, along with concerns for his other members.

"Bang!" Whitebeard took a solid punch from Akainu and was knocked back. This blow triggered Whitebeard's old injuries, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Whitebeard's face turned grim as Aokiji also landed in front of him. Akainu in front and Admiral Aokiji behind, Whitebeard was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

Although Aokiji and Akainu did not like to outnumber their opponents, they were facing Whitebeard, the foremost of the Four Emperors of the New World, in this paramount war. In war, fairness or face doesn't matter. The priority is to eliminate the strongest opponent as quickly as possible, reduce casualties, and win the war.

"Great Eruption!" "Ice Age!" Akainu and Aokiji attacked almost simultaneously, launching a coordinated assault on Whitebeard. Exhausted and injured, Whitebeard struggled under the joint attack of the two Admirals.

Marco, Jozu, Vista, Izo, and others noticed Whitebeard's dire situation and wanted to help, but the Navy's other members were formidable opponents. Marco was entangled by Kizaru, and the other division commanders were tied up with the Seven Warlords and Navy Vice Admirals, many of whom were substitute Admiral-level powerhouses.

Unable to support Whitebeard, the division commanders watched helplessly. After forcing Aokiji back with a punch, Whitebeard took a hit from Akainu on his back. Forcing Akainu back, he was injured again by Aokiji. Akainu led the main offense while Aokiji provided support. The strength of an Admiral was on par with the Four Emperors. Aokiji and Akainu were not much weaker than Whitebeard.

As time passed, Whitebeard kept bleeding and retreated step by step. Seeing Whitebeard heading towards a dead end, the madness in Akainu's eyes grew. Today, he was determined to kill the man known as the leader of the era and show the world what happens to those who oppose the Navy.

"Meteor Volcano!" Akainu, his power increasing steadily, unleashed another full-force attack. Ultimately, Whitebeard was hit again under the combined assault of the two Admirals. Akainu grabbed a meteor shower and hurled it at Whitebeard.

"Boom!" Smoke rose, and dust filled the air. In the midst of the swirling smoke, Whitebeard was sent flying, crashing into the Moby Dick behind him. He spat out blood again, staining the ice beneath his feet red.

"Dad!!" Jozu, seeing Whitebeard heavily injured, ignored the thin threads Doflamingo had wrapped around him. Forcing himself free, he leaped towards Whitebeard.

"He actually broke free of my control!" Doflamingo showed surprise in his eyes. Taking this opportunity, he used the slicing ability of his String-String Fruit to puncture several holes in Jozu's body. However, Jozu, being a tank, endured Doflamingo's attacks. Ignoring his injuries, he prepared to help his father fend off the two Admirals, Akainu and Aokiji.

This scene even impressed Doflamingo. Squinting his eyes, he showed admiration: "What a Whitebeard Pirates!"

Unfortunately, before Jozu could return, Kizaru acted. A burst of "Laser Beam" locked onto Jozu explosively, piercing through his body. As one of the three Admirals, Kizaru's laser beams were formidable. Jozu, though enduring Doflamingo's attacks, could not withstand Kizaru's. His legs gave way, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

"Move aside, get out of the way!" Vista and Izo frantically cleared the Navy soldiers in front of them, trying to provide support. Meanwhile, Kizaru held off Marco, Jozu, and other division commanders, releasing Yasakani no Magatama and laser beams. The light from the Glint-Glint Fruit shocked all around, dividing the battlefield and preventing them from approaching Whitebeard. All the division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates couldn't move an inch forward!

Even Ace on the execution platform watched with wide eyes: "Dad...no...."

Akainu stepped forward, seeing Whitebeard barely standing, supported by his naginata. He mocked with a sneer: "Whitebeard, you're old, useless!"
