Enel and Akainu clashed again and again, lightning and magma exploding against each other. Enel fired bolts of lightning nonstop, each strike forcing Akainu to guard with hardened magma. Akainu's face twisted more and more with rage the longer the fight dragged on.
"You filthy pirate trash! I'll wipe you out today!"
Enel smirked, narrowing his eyes as he dodged a burst of molten fists.
"You won't be wiping out anything today, Yahahahaha!"
Akainu swung with "Meigo," sending a massive hound-shaped fist of magma forward. Enel dispersed into lightning, reappearing above and blasting Akainu in the chest with a concentrated beam of lightning. Akainu slid back, coughing, his veins bulging with fury.
Meanwhile, Aokiji and Kizaru continued their assault on the Whitebeard Pirates. Frozen spears and beams of light tore across the battlefield. The commanders pushed back hard, but the Admirals kept the pressure relentless.
The warlords watched from their area. Doflamingo leaned forward, laughing quietly to himself, eyes locked on Nagato the entire time.
"Fufufu… the man who kills Celestial Dragons. What will you do next?"
He looked thrilled.
Back on the battlefield, Luffy finally reached the execution platform. However, Sengoku struck, breaking the platform and creating a cloud of smoke. While falling, luffy used the key he obtained and broke Ace's cuffs.
Ace froze for a moment, stunned.
"Ace!! Let's go!!"
The pirates cheered. Marines' faces went pale. Even Nagato's eyes widened for a moment. Then he smirked very slightly, impressed Luffy actually managed to free his brother.
Whitebeard, now keeping Kizaru and Aokiji occupied, saw Ace freed and immediately shouted:
"ALL OF YOU, GET ACE BACK TO THE SHIPS!"
His commanders obeyed instantly. Whitebeard planted his weapon down, preparing to hold the line alone.
Nagato watched this quietly, unable to ignore the feeling building in his chest.
This is a man truly devoted to his family.
He lifted one hand.
"Banshō Ten'in."
Ace and Luffy were pulled instantly across the battlefield, landing near the retreating pirates. Luffy blinked, confused, but didn't question it.
Nagato then stepped forward.
Enel disengaged from Akainu at the same moment. Their battle paused as both noticed every eye turning toward Nagato.
The battlefield went silent.
Nagato didn't even speak and instantly entered perfect susanoo, towering over Marineford. The weaker marines dropped their weapons instantly.
"What… what is that?!"
"Is this.. the power of a god?!"
Nagato didn't speak. He simply turned his gaze toward the back of Marineford, toward a concealed presence he had sensed earlier.
He raised Susanoo's blade and swung once.
The entire backside of Marineford cracked open.
From the shadows emerged Teach and the criminals he recruited from Impel Down.
Teach grinned.
"Zehahahahahaha… looks like we've been found."
Sengoku's face twisted in fury.
"You traitor!! You planned all this from the start!!"
But he didn't move toward Blackbeard.
He moved toward Nagato.
Garp rose from his seat too, cracking his knuckles. "Old man or not… I can't ignore that monster."
Both launched themselves toward Nagato's Susanoo.
At the same time, Whitebeard was suddenly attacked by Akainu ,who lunged at him with magma fists, meanwhile, Teach and his crew made their way over to Whitebeard, planning to reap the benefits after those two tired each other out.
Whitebeard, already exhausted, was furious for being blocked by Akainu while he wanted to attack teach
Magma brat move! I'll discipline this unruly son of mine first!"
However, Akainu ignored him and said "Justice doesn't listen to the words of pirate scum!"
Akainu continued attacking Whitebeard.
---------------------
Enel was now fighting Kizaru, both of them shooting beams at each other, and zipping around the battlefield. After a few moments Kizaru said "You've improved so much since we last met.. How scary~ Your haki is quite dangerous now" Despite the mocking tone he used, his eyes were serious and he created a blade of light in his hands, only to be suprised by watching Enel form a trident of lightning to clash with him.
"Yahahahaha! Your techniques from our last battle gave this god some inspiration! Be honored to lose to me this time."
Kizaru clicked his tongue lightly as he parried Enel's lightning trident with his Ama no Murakumo.
"Oh my, oh my… that's a troublesome technique you've copied,"
Enel grinned wide, electricity dancing across his body.
"Copied? No, I've improved it! Yahahahaha!"
Kizaru's body blurred into photons, reappearing meters away and crossing his arms across his chest.
"Yasakani no Magatama."
Golden light bullets rained toward Enel.
Enel responded instantly, splitting his body into multiple lightning clones, each flickering across the sky as they intercepted beams with bolts of their own.
"W-what the hell—?!"
Some pirates below almost fell backward watching the sky light up with rapid-fire explosions.
Two Kizarus appeared behind Enel at the same time, the light clones each swinging a sword of light at him.
But the Enel they struck crackled and burst apart.
"A fake?" Kizaru muttered.
The real Enel materialized above him, trident raised.
"Kari!"
A massive lightning pillar speared downward.
Kizaru barely flashed away in time, his shoulder smoking from the glancing hit.
"Tch… getting careless is dangerous…" he murmured, reforming beside a tower.
Enel zipped forward, trident meeting Kizaru's sword again in midair, the clash lighting up the sky like a second sun.
Below, pirates and marines alike squinted upward.
"Those two are monsters…"
"They're moving faster than we can track!"
But suddenly-
BOOOOOOOOOM!!!
A shockwave, no, several shockwaves ripped across Marineford, sending the weaker combatants flying.
Everyone turned.
------------------------
At the center of the plaza, Sengoku in his Buddha form, sent a shockwave palm towards Nagato, while Garp jumped into the air, and slammed down towards him with a titan impact. Everyone's eyes widened as they watched Nagato's entire perfect susanoo turn pitch black, covered with haki.
Nagato then swung one arm towards sengoku, while the other drew his sword, swinging to intercept garps attack. The three clashed in collision of pure force, the resulting explosion sent waves of pressure blasting outward, and what was left of Marineford was crumbling completely.
Marines were thrown through the air.
Pirates tumbled across the ice.
Even the giant vice admirals staggered.
"What kind of monster… is that…?!"
"He's fighting Sengoku and Garp at the same time!!!"
Nagato's Susanoo slid back a few meters, gouging trenches in the ice, the sword that intercepted Garp's fist, cracking apart. However the susanoo was otherwise completely fine.
Garp skidded across the ground, blood dripping from his knuckles.
Sengoku's shockwave was blocked by the susanoo and he was forced back, regrouping with Garp.
Garp wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
"The hell kind of power is this brat packing…?!"
Sengoku's eyes were narrowed.
"He's too dangerous… we have to stop him here! We absolutely cannot leave a monster like this for the next generation to take on!"
Nagato, still in his Susanoo simply said
"Come. Both of you."
Garp and Sengoku nodded at each other before they both sprang into action, leaping towards the susanoo, and working together to push it backwards, sending it away from all the marines.
Everyone else watched in awe as the colossal susanoo was sent flying backwards behind marineford and out of sight.
"Fleet admiral Sengoku and vice admiral Garp are this strong?! And yet they have to work together to fight this guy.. Just how strong is he?!"
This was the thought that sprang up in countless marine soldier, and pirate minds alike.
Doflamingo was still grinning albeit much more subdued. However if you looked closely you could see the beads of sweat on his face, as he watched Nagato get sent flying backwards out of sight.
He's strong enough to take on Garp and Sengoku at the same time. Just what kind of monster is this guy?
Meanwhile, Nagato who was sent flying, steadily recovered, his susanoo standing upright again as he stared down Garp and Sengoku. Nagato's mind worked, realizing he may have underestimated these two, before quickly coming to a decision.
Garp cracked his knuckles and said
"That defense of yours is pretty tough kid!"
Suddenly his senses suddenly went off strongly, quicking leaping out of the way.
Sengoku however didn't react in time and was sent flying by what seemed to be an invisible opponent. Sengoku quickly regained his footing, a large dent in his chest, but otherwise he was fine since he was still in Buddha transformation.
So this must be the ability Kuzan and Sakazuki mentioned during the report from their last battle. Clones that can't be seen, and can only be detected if you focus strongly on observation haki. Their strength seems to be no less than the original Nagato's. What a monstrous man
Sengoku thought to himself
Garp who watched Sengoku get sent flying, got serious, also thinking about the sensation he was feeling. It felt like the presence of a person, however if he lost concentration for even a moment it was nigh impossible to detect.
Nagato himself seemed surprised that Garp not only detected it, but also dodged intime.
"It seems the title of Marine hero isn't a joke"
Garp grinned, as Sengoku appeared again near his side.
"The strength of the marines isn't something an upstart like you can simply come and overthrow!"
