Chapter 158 Garp Takes Action

Whitebeard, like an unshakeable mountain, leaped off the deck of his massive warship.

At this moment, the opposing navy men tensed up instantly, their eyes widening as they stared intently at the legendary great pirate.

Whitebeard fearlessly raised the massive, gleaming weapon in his hand, exuding a chilling aura.

Faced with such a formidable enemy, the naval personnel gripped their weapons tightly and stood ready for battle.

However, just as tensions were about to rise, Whitebeard suddenly shouted in a deep voice.

"Sons, step back!"

Whitebeard's voice resounded like thunder throughout the entire battlefield.

Upon hearing this, the Whitebeard Pirates members who were originally preparing to charge into battle stopped without hesitation and quickly retreated.

Immediately afterwards, Whitebeard raised his long sword high again, the blade gleaming with a dazzling light, containing the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

With a sudden swing of his longsword, Whitebeard unleashed a devastating shockwave that swept directly toward the Marines in front of the plaza.

In an instant, the earth shook and mountains trembled, and smoke and dust billowed.

Those naval soldiers who didn't have time to dodge were like fallen leaves in a storm, mercilessly repelled by this terrifying force.

At that moment, the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates on the ship also flew off and joined the fierce battle.

After regaining his footing, the white-bearded man raised his long sword high and shouted.

"Men, rescue Ace and destroy the Marines!"

Whitebeard's words struck the hearts of every member of the Whitebeard Pirates like a resounding war drum.

In an instant, everyone's morale was ignited to its peak, and they shouted in unison, the sound waves soaring into the sky.

Seeing the fierce battle before him, Sengoku rolled up his sleeves and shouted at Garp.

"Garp! Things have come to this point, we absolutely cannot stand idly by!"

At the same time, Aokiji launched a fierce attack on Whitebeard, but this attack was blocked by Diamond Jozu.

The entire battlefield instantly descended into chaos, with shouts of battle and explosions rising and falling in a dizzying display.

Meanwhile, Luffy was focused solely on rushing to the execution platform to rescue Ace, who was about to be executed.

But just as Luffy was struggling forward, Kizaru appeared in front of him again, blocking his way.

Kizaru revealed a contemptuous smile, and then a dazzling laser beam shot out from his hand, flying straight towards Luffy.

With a loud bang, accompanied by billowing smoke and flames, Luffy was sent flying by the powerful impact.

Garp witnessed this scene and was extremely anxious. He clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

Sengoku keenly noticed Garp's unusual behavior, turned to look at him, and said in a deep voice.

"Garp, at this moment, you must recognize your own position!"

Before he could finish speaking, Luffy had already fallen heavily to the ground.

Despite suffering such a severe injury, Luffy still struggled to get up and continue forward.

Kizaru strolled up to Luffy, looked down at him, and said coldly.

"Kid, courage alone is far from enough. Without sufficient strength, no matter how hard you try to save them, those things you want to protect will eventually leave you."

After saying that, Kizaru raised his foot.

"Disappear!"

Kizaru kicked Luffy away, but Whitebeard intervened just in time, extending his massive hand to catch Luffy steadily.

However, Luffy was seriously injured at this time, and his consciousness was beginning to blur.

The white-bearded man gently put him down, and Jinbe, who was standing nearby, hurriedly rushed over with the ship's doctor.

Whitebeard's ship's doctor quickly examined Luffy and took emergency treatment measures in an attempt to save his critical life.

Whitebeard took another firm step forward, raising his gleaming, incredibly sharp longsword high above his head before slashing down with unparalleled force.

This strike seemed to contain boundless power and fury, determined to utterly crush the enemy before it.

Faced with Whitebeard's fierce attack, Akainu stepped forward, his body radiating a scorching aura of magma.

Akainu raised his leg, which was covered in magma, to meet Whitebeard's long sword, while roaring angrily.

"If you continue to act so recklessly, this island will not be able to hold on."

However, Whitebeard ignored Akainu's warning and snorted coldly.

"Then let's see if you have the ability to defend this island!"

Before he finished speaking, Whitebeard quickly raised his left hand, clenched it into a fist, and swung it at Akainu with overwhelming force.

In an instant, their attacks collided, unleashing a deafening roar.

The powerful impact swept outwards like a raging torrent, raising dust and scattering rocks wherever it went.

The surrounding sailors were terrified and shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Get out of here quickly, or we'll get caught up in this!"

Amidst the chaos, Marco seized the opportunity, his figure flashed, and he instantly transformed into a huge and magnificent phoenix, flapping his wings and soaring high, charging straight towards Ace, who was imprisoned on the execution platform.

A figure appeared in front of Marco; it was Garp.

Although the person on the execution platform was his own grandson, Garp, as a Marine, still had no choice but to intervene.

Garp's eyes narrowed, and he swung his right arm out with unparalleled power and momentum, crashing down on Marco like a mountain.

With a loud "bang," Marco was forcefully knocked back by the punch, plummeting like a meteor and crashing heavily to the ground.

In an instant, dust flew up, gravel flew everywhere, and a bottomless pit appeared on the ground.

Garp did not stop there. He walked steadily to the execution platform and then slowly sat down.

Garp swept his cold gaze across the entire battlefield and spoke in a deep, authoritative voice.

"If you want to pass through here, then kill me first!"

Seeing this, Sengoku, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but frown.

"Nobody asked you to take action, Garp."

At this moment, the crowd below saw Garp appear, especially the marines, who were all very excited and cheered loudly.

"It's Vice Admiral Garp, the naval hero!"

"Vice Admiral Garp has made his move; we have strong defenses."

"With him here guarding the execution platform, we will definitely be able to defend it!"

Their eyes shone with reverence and trust, as if victory was already in sight as long as Garp was there.

The pirates looked at Garp sitting there with fear and shock.

"The legendary lieutenant general!"

"Monkey D. Garp!"

Meanwhile, Whitebeard stared intently at Garp, who was sitting below the execution platform.

Whitebeard's face also showed a hint of solemnity at this moment.

Whitebeard knew that Garp was incredibly strong and that breaking through his defenses would not be easy.
