Standing in front of Whitebeard was the 3rd Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Diamond Jozu. His diamond defense ability could be called unsolvable. Even the world's greatest slash was blocked by him without any damage.
"3rd Division Commander, Diamond Jozu, a very strong ability!"
Mihawk was also a bit surprised as he looked at Diamond Jozu. He originally wanted to make Whitebeard take action to see how Whitebeard would block his attack, but he didn't expect that before Whitebeard could take action, his attack had been blocked by Jozu.
He could also see that Jozu's defense was amazing. As long as Jozu was blocking in front, he had no way to force Whitebeard to take action, unless he went all out. However, he didn't have this intention, so he didn't have any intention of continuing to take action. He silently put the Black Blade back on his back.
Mihawk's slash was just an interlude. After the surprise, the battle between the Navy and the pirates became even more intense. The two sides had made direct contact.
The pirates shouted, "Brothers, charge straight ahead! Charge up and save Ace!"
The Navy soldiers shouted, "Intercept! Intercept! We can't let these pirates get close to the bay!"
Ace, above the execution platform, was looking at this scene, his heart unable to calm down. Sengoku, on the other hand, was looking at the pirates' breakthrough with a sneer, saying with disdain, "How foolish, only knowing how to break through from the front."
Saying that, he picked up the Den Den Mushi and ordered, "Artillery fire! Aim at the enemy's subsequent pirate ships and pirates! Don't let them all land! Defeat them in the sea!"
Because they occupied the home field, the Navy Headquarters' artillery platforms were more convenient than the Whitebeard Pirates' artillery platforms. When attacking, the lethality was even more terrifying.
However, the pirates who had come with Whitebeard this time were all famous pirate crews in the New World. Each of them was a master who could be worth ten ordinary soldiers, and their combat experience was extremely rich. So, even though the Navy occupied the geographical advantage, the pirates still seized every opportunity to counterattack, so for a time, the two sides were actually evenly matched.
"They've only just made contact, and they've already launched such an intense battle?"
In the Sabaody Archipelago, in the square where the world broadcast was being watched, many people shouted in horror when they saw the battle break out in an instant.
These shouts immediately drew disdain from some people. "Of course they're going to fight as soon as they meet. Navy Headquarters and the Whitebeard Pirates are going to start a war this time. If they don't fight when they meet, are they going to chat and talk nonsense there?"
"As expected of a war at the peak. It's really amazing. It's already like this at the beginning. I really don't know what kind of excitement it will be when it reaches the end."
Any war is more exciting towards the end, because everyone's trump cards are forced out one by one in the end.
"It's really too exciting. Just watching it is already so exciting. I really don't know how lively the scene will be."
"This kind of war isn't something we can get involved in. We can only watch it through the live broadcast."
"..."
The sound of discussion in the square came one wave after another. Although many people were discussing, more people didn't say a word, staring intently at the big screen, afraid of missing any exciting parts.
After the two sides fought for a while, there were casualties on both sides. At this time, Navy Admiral Kizaru, who was sitting below the execution platform, couldn't sit still any longer.
"Really, they're just the division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates, but each of them is really terribly powerful. If we continue to fight like this, I don't know how much loss there will be. Alas, in order to reduce the loss to the end, it seems that the best choice is to capture the leader first."
Kizaru stood up from his chair, looked in the direction where Whitebeard was, and suddenly transformed into little bits of golden light. The golden light headed towards the front of Whitebeard and condensed in the air, transforming back into Kizaru's appearance.
Arriving above Whitebeard, Kizaru swung his hands towards the Moby Dick where Whitebeard was, launching an attack, "Yasakani no Magatama!"
Countless golden lights shot towards Whitebeard. Whitebeard narrowed his eyes and said, "Hey hey, what's this? Why is it so dazzling!?"
A figure beside Whitebeard quickly flew towards Kizaru. All of Kizaru's attacks hit that figure, making a series of booming sounds. They were all blocked.
It was a blue shadow. Looking closely, it was actually a blue bird, only the head was in the shape of a human. The bird's body was full of holes, but soon blue flames ignited on these holes and recovered.
"Admiral Kizaru's attack was actually blocked."
"What is that?"
Exclamations rang out. Many people were seeing this bizarre thing for the first time, so they were all very surprised.
The blue bird, except for its wings, had the rest of its body transformed into a human form. It was actually the 1st Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Phoenix Marco.
Marco smiled and said, "You're thinking too simply. How could we let you disturb our King as soon as you came up?"
Kizaru narrowed his eyes and said, "Blue flames, so it's you."
The Navy soldiers below also exclaimed, "Being hit by Admiral Kizaru's attack, he actually recovered so quickly and was still unscathed. How exactly did he do it?"
"That's the 1st Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Phoenix Marco. He possesses a Devil Fruit ability that's even rarer than the Logia-type, the Mythical Zoan-type, Phoenix!"
"It's said that this ability can be reborn from the ashes. No matter the extent of the injury, it can be quickly recovered. I didn't expect it to be true."
Marco smiled at Kizaru and said, "It seems that your attack didn't work. If that's the case, then it's my turn."
Saying that, Marco's whole body transformed into a bird, suddenly charging towards Kizaru. The speed was extremely fast. Seeing this, Kizaru used his ability to attack again, but his attack still had no effect on Marco. Instead, Marco was able to get close to him.
Marco kicked Kizaru hard. Although Kizaru blocked with his hand, the enormous power contained in that kick still sent him flying, smashing down a large number of buildings.
"Admiral Kizaru!"
Seeing Kizaru being sent flying by Marco, those Navy soldiers all shouted in horror. But Kizaru quickly stood up again, looking at Marco unscathed, and said in a deep voice, "As expected of the 1st Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. You're really terribly strong."
After exchanging a move with Marco, Kizaru already knew that Marco wasn't easy to deal with. The idea of getting past Marco to attack Whitebeard was no longer achievable, so he simply ordered the Navy soldiers under his command to continue attacking the Whitebeard Pirates.
The number of pirates couldn't compare to the Navy, but when fighting, they were not bad at all. One pirate could basically deal with two or three Navy soldiers. But even so, the situation for the pirates wasn't very good, because the number of Navy soldiers was too large, and the mid-level power of the Navy wasn't something that the Whitebeard Pirates could compare to. Those Navy vice admirals were appearing one after another, and there were even more giants who were able to deal with them.
"Everyone, get out of the way!"
Suddenly, a loud roar rang out on the battlefield. They saw Diamond Jozu, the 3rd Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, rushing out from the rear.
Upon seeing that it was Jozu, all the pirates quickly retreated, making way for an open space. Then, they saw Jozu suddenly attack the ice surface hard, and the ice surface quickly cracked, cracking a huge piece of ice.
Jozu roared and carried out a huge piece of ice. This piece of ice was as big as a small mountain, and its weight was even more terrifying. But even such a large piece of ice was still lifted up by Jozu.
Seeing this scene, all the Navy soldiers said in a daze, "This guy's arm strength is really too strong."
If such a large piece of ice were thrown into the Navy army, it would kill at least hundreds of people. Under the terrified gazes of all the Navy soldiers, Jozu threw that huge piece of ice out hard, throwing it towards the Navy Headquarters' plaza.
