Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

Page 253

Kaido the dragon laughed loudly.

"as you wish."

Ron sheathed the blood-stained blade in his hand, and then the blade and sheath disappeared into the ripple-like void in front of him.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ron rolled up his sleeves, stomped his foot heavily, the ground sank, and he shot straight towards the dragon in the sky like an arrow.

A man and a dragon engaged in a fierce battle in the air.

Each of their attacks contained the power to easily destroy a hundred-meter-high mountain. When such terrifying forces collided, the thunderous roar was like a thunderclap, and the resulting shockwave would completely disperse the dark clouds within hundreds of meters.

To ordinary people watching the video Den Den Mushi, it looked like a battle between gods who wielded the power to destroy the world, as in legends.

Two Yonko-level beings clashed overhead, while a fierce battle was also taking place in the plaza below.

After Hawkeye unleashed three sword strikes at Whitebeard, he didn't attack again. He glanced at Law and stepped aside to watch the battle, refusing to intervene further.

Whitebeard faced off against Akainu once again.

Although he still displayed great power, some people could see that Whitebeard's condition was rapidly declining.

Marco was extremely anxious, but Fujitora's offensive kept him trapped.

Jozu, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, and his powerful crew were completely blocked by the Marine officers and elite Marines led by Aokiji.

The Whitebeard Pirates' offensive gradually slowed down, and their decline became apparent.

Sabo and the others.

While Ivankov was giving emergency treatment to the critically injured Luffy, Jinbe, Sabo, Zoro, Sanji, and the others were gradually huddled together under the combined attack of Momonga, Kasugano, and the others. They could only passively defend themselves and were completely unable to get close to the execution platform.

On Empress Hancock's side, after kicking six Pacifistas to pieces and knocking down Sentomaru, she did not make any further moves.

After defeating the Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, Xiaoqi and Carrot arrived at Kuina Robin's side, and the entire Sky Calamity Brigade reunited.

"Look, that naval lieutenant... he looks just like Kuina."

Bonnie pointed to Tashigi in the distance and said.

Robin and Connie turned to look.

"real."

"It's incredible that there are two people in the world who look so alike!"

Kuina gazed at Tashigi in the distance, her expression somewhat strange.

Tashigi seemed to notice her gaze and turned to look in their direction.

Their eyes met, and both felt a little strange, as if they were looking in a mirror, except one had short hair and the other had long hair, one wore glasses and the other didn't.

Both of them turned their heads away at the same time, harboring some doubts.

"Did my own father really not do anything?" x2.

"Nami seems to be having some trouble."

Robin spotted Nami and her group being surrounded by a group of marines.

"Then let me help you."

Connie laughed and said, "I've just developed a new trick, but I haven't had a chance to use it yet."

She raised her black-gloved hands, and countless swords trembled and rose from the ground, shooting towards Nami under her control.

Bonnie, with one hand on her hip, watched this scene and couldn't help but complain, "Isn't this just simple manipulation of metal?"

With Conis's help, Nami and the others managed to escape and rushed to their aid.

"saved!"

Usopp fell backward, panting heavily.

"Thank you, I'm so grateful to you for saving me."

Frankie thanked them sincerely.

Nami also thanked Conis, saying, "Thank you, Conis-neechan."

Connie looked at Nami and smiled:

"You are welcome."

Kuina glanced at them with a cool and aloof look.

"It will get more and more dangerous ahead, so you'd better not get involved anymore, or you'll die."

"die……"

Usopp and Chopper swallowed hard, trembling with fear. They turned to look at the battlefield ahead, a place filled with lava, ice, gravity, and sword energy, their faces turning green with terror.

Franky scratched his head: "Although I'm quite unwilling, it seems that with our strength, this is the best we can do."

"But, are Mr. Luffy and the others alright...?"

Brooke said with concern.

"I hope they're alright..."

Nami looked ahead, her eyes filled with worry.

219, an unexpected turn of events

Fleet Admiral Sengoku, now transformed into a golden Buddha, stood with his arms crossed on the frozen execution platform, gazing at the battlefield before him and in the sky.

Lava erupted from the square, causing continuous tremors.

The battle between the man and the dragon in the sky was incredibly fierce. The hot breath spewed from the dragon's mouth turned the sky blood red, and the gale transformed into huge wind blades that slashed in all directions. The fist force containing the power of destruction shattered large sections of the sky.

It inspires fear and trepidation in those who look at it.

"Whitebeard has reached his limit, and the Whitebeard Pirates no longer have any capable fighters left. Ron has also been targeted by Kaido. Although many unexpected situations have arisen, as long as 'Fire Fist' Ace dies here, this Marineford War will be a victory for our Navy."

The Warring States period was marked by a resolute and serious expression.

"Executioners, step forward and immediately carry out the public execution of 'Fire Fist' Ace!"

At Sengoku's command, two executioners holding execution knives ascended the platform and stood on either side of Ace.

Sabo, who was surrounded by a group of marines, saw this scene and his pupils shrank drastically.

"Ace...!"

"Looking around aimlessly is not a good idea."

Green Bull appeared in front of him instantly, raised his foot and kicked him away.

So far, Green Bull has only demonstrated his physical skills and two types of Haki; his specific abilities have not yet been revealed, but his strength has clearly surpassed Sabo's by a significant margin.

"Seven Thousand Tire Roundhouse Kick!"

Jinbe kicked away all the elite Marines in front of him with one blow. He looked solemnly at Ace on the execution platform, where the two executioners' blades were already falling towards his neck.

"Brother Ace..."

He glanced at the sky, his eyes filled with doubt, confusion, and anxiety.

"Aren't you going to make a move yet? Traveler Ron, what are you thinking?!"

As Ace heard the sound of the executioner's blade whistling through the air, he looked up and gave Sabo and Luffy an apologetic smile.

"Luffy, Sabo, it seems I can't adventure with you on the high seas anymore. I'm sorry..."

He then looked towards Whitebeard and Marco.

"Dad, and everyone else, I'm so sorry..."

A tear welled up in Ace's eye.

"I'm such an idiot for always making you worry so much."

Ace glanced one last time at Garp, who was standing with his back to him in the distance, clenching his fists and struggling with inner turmoil. He closed his eyes and thought to himself, "Goodbye... Grandpa."

After saying goodbye, he was already prepared to die.

Whitebeard and Marco watched as the executioner's blade slashed towards Ace, their pupils shrinking in fury.

The Whitebeard Pirates were also horrified and furious.

A hint of triumphant joy flashed in the eyes of some of the bloodthirsty naval officers.

Smoker closed his eyes: "It's over."

The entire battlefield seemed to fall silent at this moment, and time seemed to stand still.

Everyone on the battlefield and the entire world in front of the video Den Den Mushi watched as the two execution blades slashed down toward Ace's neck, just as they had executed the Pirate King Roger in Loguetown.

Just as those two sharp execution blades were about to sever Ace's head.

An unexpected figure suddenly appeared beside Ace.

To Sengoku's astonishment, he struck Ace, who was about to die, with a palm. Ace instantly vanished from the execution platform, and the executioners' blades missed their mark.

"Bartholomew Kuma?!"

Lieutenant General Tsuru was also taken aback.
