Although the organization of pirates is extremely poor, never underestimate the instincts they have honed through years of life-and-death struggles.

When it comes to the ability to survive on the battlefield, pirates are far ahead of regular armies.

After Kizaru and Aokiji seized the opportunity to clear the field once, the pirates learned their lesson and never gave them another opening.

However, under the joint encirclement of multiple factions, aside from the battle zone where Whitebeard was located, the defeat of the pirates gradually began to show in other small-scale battlefields.

Under the encirclement of multiple forces, the Whitebeard Pirates still managed to fight like this; their status as the strongest Pirate Crew today is beyond doubt.

What is most rare is that, under such immense front-line pressure, the Whitebeard Pirates have not yet shown any signs of collapse.

Not a single Pirate Crew or individual chose to retreat.

Such quality is truly rare and completely comparable to a regular army.

After all, they are pirates; being difficult to restrain is the norm. Yet Whitebeard managed to use familial bonds as a tie to make these people throw themselves into the battlefield without hesitation.

It can be said that the Whitebeard Pirates have almost treated familial bonds as their faith, and only a team with a unified faith can maintain their fighting spirit throughout such a war.

Of course, there is another important reason for achieving all this, and that is Whitebeard himself.

So far, Whitebeard has not retreated a single step.

Even though there were countless Marines in front of him, launching endless attacks against Whitebeard like a suicide squad.

Even though Akainu had completely focused his attention on Whitebeard.

Even though the charge of Yamato never stopped.

At this time, Yamato had already entered the hybrid form, with horns growing straight up on her head and surrounded by silvery-white flames.

However, she was in a very sorry state at this moment, almost reaching her limit.

Panting heavily and looking at the old man before her, she found it hard to believe that, facing the siege of so many people, the opponent had not even broken a sweat or breathed heavily until now.

In fact, she did not even have the thought of fighting him one-on-one.

This is the flaw of relying purely on stats.

If the attack power of the enemy is too high, a stat freak can hardly have more room to maneuver, and fighting head-on will only reduce them to a target.

"It feels so exhilarating! The fists of this old man are much stronger than those of Kaido. The sea is truly vast; to think even monsters like this exist."

Fighting spirit burned fiercely in her eyes, but this time, the body of Yamato could no longer hold out. Her legs suddenly went soft, and she knelt on one knee, barely able to support herself with her spiked club.

The most formidable aspect of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit has never been its range or destructive power, but rather the high-frequency vibration embedded in its attacks, giving every strike an armor-piercing effect.

It could be said that Whitebeard specifically counters stat freaks.

The moment Yamato was about to fall, a Pacifista instantly arrived in front of her, and the voice of Lilith came from it.

"Hey, are you alright? Do not take it too seriously. We do not belong to the combat sequence of the Marines. According to Leiyi, we are actually just here to watch the show."

Though she said that, in reality, no one was more excited than Lilith. Such a chaotic battlefield was simply a scene straight out of her dreams.

To the extent that she was almost pressing sparks out of the remote control handle of the Pacifista.

"Thanks, I am fine."

Yamato took a deep breath and stood up once again.

Not far away, the Empress felt her heart wrenching as she saw this scene.

Yamato was originally the first companion of Leiyi-kun, and she was so close to Leiyi, even being allowed to enter and leave his room freely. Now she was showing such strength?

This kind of danger was simply too great.

However, even so, burdened with love and deep affection, this concubine has a reason she absolutely cannot afford to lose.

"This concubine is the most beautiful woman in the world, you fellows stop getting in the way."

Seeing the Empress suddenly display her signature arrogant posture, her opponents were completely dumbfounded.

Were they not fighting? How come it felt like they were suddenly being looked down upon?

But constrained by the strength of the Empress, apart from a few powerful or lust-blinded individuals, very few men dared to approach her.

At this moment, Luffy ran past recklessly from the side, and the people around were all waiting for the Empress to make a move.

However, the scene everyone expected did not appear.

This made everyone wonder if there were any special restrictions when the Empress struck this pose, such as being temporarily unable to retaliate.

Under the dual influence of the Love-Love Fruit and the charm of the Empress, once this thought popped up, it would spread like a flood, beyond control.

People with weak willpower rubbed their hands, eager to step forward and capture the Empress.

But the Empress moved the very next moment.

"Insolent wretches, depraved souls do not even think about getting close to this concubine. Perfume Femur."

The incoming person was directly kicked to pieces.

Hee-hee-hee-hee, seeing the corpses continuously piling up, Moriah was extremely smug.

Although the Seven Warlords of the Sea were basically slacking off, their leading strength still caused considerable pressure to the Whitebeard Pirates on the battlefield.

On the other side, malicious laughter rang out incessantly.

"Hey, Crocodile, how lucky that you escaped from prison. Coincidentally, I have a great idea here, a business proposition. I wonder if you might be interested."

Doflamingo walked with an arrogant pigeon-toed gait, blocking the path of Crocodile.

But Crocodile completely looked down on him. In his view, since Doflamingo chose to attach himself to Kaido, he had already lost the qualification to contend with him.

"Stay away, Joker. You and I are not on the same level. Sandstorm."

Mingo nimbly dodged the attack without getting angry.

"Do not be so irritable. This business is quite good. Do you want to hear about it first?"

"Others might be fine, but I find you an eyesore, Joker. Do not get in the way."

"What a pity. I originally thought you would make a good helper."

With a wave of the hand of Mingo, the head of Crocodile dropped in response, turning into sand...

Just as the pirates were at a complete disadvantage, Luffy actually maintained his momentum and kept moving forward, already approaching the Execution Platform.

Just as Luffy leaped into the air, preparing to get onto the platform in one go, a flash of light swept past from the side.

And just like that, Luffy was kicked right into the arms of Whitebeard.

Seeing this scene, Sengoku let out a long sigh of relief, silently praising Kizaru for a job well done; it was simply too thrilling.

Garp, all of this is for you, you bastard.

Meanwhile, Garp stood to the side with a dark expression, not saying a word.

On the platform, Ace saw this scene, watching the comrades he once regarded as family fall one by one, seeing Luffy covered in wounds for his sake, and seeing the inner conflict of Garp over him.

The guilt in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

Unwittingly, the scenery in front of him gradually blurred, and then he realized that his face was already covered in tears.

"Everyone, I am sorry. All of this is my fault; I was too willful."

"Just leave quickly! Do not make such a huge sacrifice to save me, it is not worth it."

"Are you not going to carry out the execution early? Do it already!"

Ace roared at Sengoku.

On the side, hearing the words of Ace, Garp clenched his fists until they turned almost white.

At this moment, the executioners in charge of the execution took their positions.

Under the command of Sengoku, the long blades were raised high.

The pirates were being suppressed and beaten by the Marines. Seeing this scene, they felt almost desperate, nearly thinking that everything had come to an end.

However, right at this moment, the dormant Conqueror's Haki of Luffy finally awakened.

Originally, his Conqueror's Haki should have awakened back on Amazon Lily, but influenced by Leiyi, Luffy did not have the opportunity at that time.

Therefore, this was still the first burst of Conqueror's Haki by Luffy.

As expected of a freak of talent, upon its first burst, the intensity of Luffy's Conqueror's Haki was jaw-dropping; even Vice Admirals nearby were knocked unconscious by the shock.

On the Execution Platform, all the executioners were knocked unconscious.

Seeing this situation, the eyelids of Sengoku twitched, and he shouted inwardly that things were going south.

It was not because Conqueror's Haki was rare.

But rather because Luffy displayed such talent at this moment. If the Marines higher-ups could previously look past the face of Garp and allow Luffy to mess around on a small scale, it would be hard to say now.

After all, the Marines were not lacking in stubborn and reckless people.

Sweeping his eyes across, sure enough, some hawk-like Marine Officers were already restless, wanting to nip the threat in the bud.

However, just as everyone was feeling shocked by the talent of Luffy, an accident happened once again.

A huge figure descended from the sky.

Smashed a huge hole in the plaza.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of both sides tacitly looked at each other, both thinking it was the reinforcement of the other side.

In response to this, Whitebeard grinned broadly, while the expression of Sengoku changed drastically, and Mingo, who was tangling with Crocodile nearby, also suddenly turned gloomy.

Without waiting long for the crowd, a large hand was raised from the pit, followed by that huge figure, that ferocious appearance, and an immense sense of oppression that made people tremble.

The person who arrived was none other than Kaido, another Emperor ruling over the New World, the man now known as the strongest creature on land.

After getting up, Kaido did not stand on ceremony at all, directly roaring in a loud voice.

"Who is recklessly releasing Haki?"
