#1458 - Chapter 1468: The Battle of Marineford (Part 80)

Thinking to himself, "I've been had! I thought that was just an insignificant rat hole, but I didn't expect to be targeted by these guys. Damn it, this defensive wall must not become a stumbling block on our own path forward!"

Thinking of this, Garp couldn't help but grit his teeth and shout angrily.

Sengoku, who was beside him, glanced coldly at his old friend, without responding to his words.

However, at this moment, a shout full of deep affection and expectation suddenly came—"Dad!"

Ace was struggling desperately, trying to break free and run towards Whitebeard.

At the same time, Whitebeard glared back at Sengoku without showing any weakness, and the atmosphere between the two instantly became extremely tense.

"Whitebeard!"

Sengoku glared angrily at the great pirate who shook the four seas, his eyes full of hostility and vigilance.

"Success! If this continues, we will definitely be able to rescue Ace!"

Although Oars was seriously injured and on his last breath, his face was still filled with undisguised joy.

It was just a pity that his extremely weak body made his voice sound intermittent, as if he could die at any moment.

However, in the next second, countless cannonballs rained down on Oars.

For a time, the fire soared into the sky, smoke filled the air, and deafening explosions rose one after another.

"Oars!"

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates widened their eyes, looking anxiously at Oars, who was being bombarded by artillery fire, their hearts in their throats.

They shouted hoarsely, as if trying to transmit all their strength to Oars.

However, despite everyone's expectations, the ruthless artillery fire still caused Oars' massive body to slowly collapse.

"We must rescue Ace!"

After Oars said these last words.

At this moment, Oars finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground with a bang.

His once towering and awe-inspiring figure now seemed so lonely and helpless.

"Oars!"

Ace knelt on the spot in a daze, watching the scene in front of him, his whole body struck by lightning.

His eyes were empty and lifeless, his face was as pale as paper, and his lips were trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't make a sound.

The grief in his heart surged like a tide, almost drowning him.

At the same time, Whitebeard tightly held his Murakumogiri, and his weathered face looked particularly dignified at the moment.

He walked forward steadily, step by step. Each step seemed to be stepping on the hearts of everyone present, making their hearts beat faster.

Whitebeard's move instantly attracted the attention of all the experts on the battlefield.

For a time, the atmosphere on the entire battlefield became abnormally tense, as if even the air had frozen.

Whitebeard flashed, leaping out of the crowd like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the front of the Marine camp.

He exuded a powerful and unparalleled aura, like an insurmountable mountain, making it difficult for people to breathe.

"Whitebeard has arrived at the plaza!"

A Marine soldier reported in horror.

As his voice fell, the Marine troops, who were originally on high alert, suddenly rioted.

Countless dark muzzles turned their direction, all aimed at Whitebeard.

Faced with this overwhelming rain of bullets, Whitebeard remained calm and said calmly, "Kids, step back!"

Simple four words, but with an unquestionable majesty.

After hearing these words, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates, although unwilling, could only obediently follow the order and quickly retreat.

Then, Whitebeard suddenly raised the Murakumogiri in his hand, raising it high.

In an instant, a layer of dazzling white light covered the extremely sharp blade. The light was so bright that it was like a scorching sun in the sky, making people dare not look directly at it.

Whitebeard stood on the battlefield like a war god, his burly body exuding endless pressure, making people dare not look directly at him.

Suddenly, he opened his mouth and burst into a earth-shattering roar: "Ah—"

This roar was like thunder, resounding through the sky, as if to tear the whole world apart.

Along with this roar, Whitebeard's thick and powerful arm waved violently, and the Murakumogiri in his hand flashed with cold light, slashing towards the Marine Headquarters with overwhelming force.

In an instant, there was a crisp sound of "crack", and the space was like fragile glass, shattering layer by layer, and hideous cracks spread rapidly.

These cracks were intertwined like spider webs, and like the mouth of a giant abyss, wanting to devour everything.

The Marine soldiers who happened to be within the range of this attack instantly felt dizzy and the earth was splitting apart.

They didn't have time to react at all, and their bodies flew out involuntarily.

The blood spurting from their mouths drew scarlet arcs in the air, falling to the ground like raindrops.

Even more, the internal organs in their bodies were shattered by the impact of this powerful force. If someone came forward to check at this time, they would be shocked by the bloody and terrible scene in front of them.

The original complete internal organs had long become fragmented and unrecognizable.

Even those Marine Vice Admirals who had experienced hundreds of battles were difficult to resist such a terrifying attack.

One by one, their faces were pale, blood was gushing from their mouths, and their figures retreated rapidly, in a state of embarrassment.

The entire Marine Headquarters plaza was now like being ravaged by an eighteenth-level hurricane, with flying sand and rocks, in a chaotic mess.

However, with just this one slash, all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals blocking the Whitebeard Pirates' path had been cleared away.

The Marine executives watched this scene happen, but there was nothing they could do, they could only stand there in shock and anger.

At this moment, the various captains of the Whitebeard Pirates quickly gathered around Whitebeard, and they closely surrounded Whitebeard, forming an indestructible line of defense.

Each person's face was filled with perseverance and determination, and their eyes were fixed on the enemy in front of them.

"Men! Charge with me! Rescue Ace, destroy the Marines!"

Whitebeard raised his arms again and shouted, his voice passionate and full of indomitable momentum.

Following his shout, everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates responded in unison, the shouts of killing resounded through the sky, and a thrilling battle kicked off.

Ace widened his eyes, staring unblinkingly at everything in front of him, and a feeling of unspeakable gratitude surged in his heart.
