Chapter 142 The Appearance of the Whitebeard Pirates

At the same time, Marco, standing at the bow of the ship, kept his eyes fixed on Ace on the execution platform and shouted loudly.

"I'm sorry, Ace! I've made you suffer so much. But please believe me, everyone on the high seas knows that the Whitebeard Pirates will never let anyone who dares to harm our comrades get away with it!"

Before the words were even finished, the many crew members on the ship shouted in unison, their voices converging and resounding like thunder across the sky.

"Ace, hang in there!"

"Naval Headquarters, prepare yourselves!"

"We're about to rescue you from this damn place! You navy guys just wait and see!"

At this moment, the morale of the entire Whitebeard Pirates was greatly boosted, and their eyes burned with raging anger and endless fighting spirit.

Faced with the overwhelming aura of the Whitebeard Pirates, Aokiji couldn't help but frown slightly and sigh.

"Sigh...we've really messed with a bunch of formidable guys this time."

Akainu, standing to the side, spoke slowly.

"Now that things have come to this, what's the point of continuing to spout nonsense?"

Kizaru, however, curled his lip in disgust and said...

"It really makes me feel uncomfortable."

At this moment, Fleet Admiral Sengoku stepped forward and shouted loudly to the naval soldiers in the square with a solemn expression.

"We must not become complacent or underestimate our enemy just because we have the numerical advantage. Remember, the man standing before us is Whitebeard, known as the 'strongest man in the world.' Such a figure possesses terrifying power capable of destroying the entire world. The slightest carelessness could lead to catastrophic consequences. So, everyone, be on your guard and give it your all!"

However, at that moment, the massive tsunami that was sweeping in was getting closer and closer to the Marine Headquarters, and it looked like it was about to completely engulf the entire island.

On the naval headquarters plaza, the soldiers who had been standing in neat rows now stared in terror at the massive, overwhelming tsunami surging towards them. The colossal waves, like roaring beasts, swept in with an aura of utter destruction.

Just as everyone was in a panic, Aokiji, who had been sitting in the chair, suddenly stood up and leaped into the air like lightning, soaring straight into the sky.

Aokiji spread his arms in the air, emanating a powerful aura, and then activated the terrifying power of his Devil Fruit—the Ice-Ice Fruit.

Ice Age

As Aokiji moved, an extremely cold power surged from his palm, instantly transforming into a blue icy current that rapidly spread towards the tsunamis attacking from the left and right sides at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, the once unstoppable tsunami was frozen into two huge icebergs, standing on either side of the Naval Headquarters Plaza.

"Aokiji brat."

Seeing this, the naval soldiers in the square finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, their joy did not last long, because Aokiji had already turned his attention to Whitebeard in the distance.

Aokiji slightly raised his hand and gently waved it in the direction of Whitebeard.

In an instant, several sharp ice spears formed from condensed ice shot out like arrows, heading straight for the white-bearded man.

Faced with this sudden attack, Whitebeard was not afraid at all. He sneered, casually raised one hand, and then clenched his fist to activate his Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability.

A loud bang rang out, and the ice spears flying towards him were instantly shattered, turning into countless ice crystals scattered all over the ground.

Furthermore, Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit power was transmitted to Aokiji through the air.

Sensing the powerful impact, Aokiji dared not be careless in the slightest. He quickly used his elemental transformation, turning his body into an ice form.

The next moment, Aokiji's body split apart like shattered ice, with chunks of ice falling onto the sea below.

Just as Aokiji was plummeting rapidly from the sky toward the sea, he suddenly activated his incredibly powerful Ice-Ice Fruit ability.

In an instant, an extremely cold aura swept out like a storm from Aokiji himself, and wherever it passed, the originally turbulent sea surface quickly froze into an incomparably hard layer of ice.

This sudden turn of events caught the Whitebeard Pirates' ships completely off guard; they seemed to be firmly gripped by an invisible giant hand, unable to move.

Meanwhile, the navy erupted in a deafening cheer.

"We have top-tier combat power—Admiral Aokiji!"

The highly motivated naval soldiers immediately rubbed their hands together, aimed at the Whitebeard Pirates, and launched a fierce bombardment.

Faced with such an unfavorable situation, the Whitebeard Pirates would naturally not sit idly by and wait for their doom.

The battle-hardened crew members, led by their captain, fearlessly jumped off the ship and landed steadily on the ice.

Armed with various weapons, their eyes blazing with fury, and shouting impassioned slogans, they launched a fierce counterattack against the naval positions.

Tensions rose between the two sides, and a major battle seemed imminent...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Luo Tian and his group of friends were staring intently at the screen, watching the breathtaking live broadcast—Sengoku revealed Ace's true identity in front of the entire world.

Luo Tian turned to Dan beside him, seemingly lost in thought.

"Tell everyone to get ready. We're heading to Naval Headquarters immediately! How can we miss out on this great battle?"

After successfully evacuating from the perilous Sabaody Archipelago, Luo Tian and his group secretly returned for some reason.

Upon hearing Luo Tian's resolute decision, although everyone was slightly surprised, they nodded without hesitation, indicating their willingness to follow orders and head to the Marine Headquarters to participate in this earth-shattering battle that was about to erupt.

Only those who joined Luo Tian at the very beginning knew about Garp's relationship with Luo Tian.

Luo Tian went there to help Garp, not Ace or the Whitebeard Pirates.

Everyone was filled with excitement about the impending war.

After all, for some of them, this is their first time standing on the world stage.
