"Divine Departure!"Roger grinned and swung his sword, unleashing Divine Departure, coated with powerful Conqueror's Haki.
"Ahhh!!"Whitebeard enveloped his blade Murakumogiri with the power of the Gura Gura no Mi, and also infused it with Conqueror's Haki. He swung his blade down fiercely at Akainu.
"Akainu, watch out! Ice Block: Pheasant Beak!"Aokiji extended his right arm, instantly forming intense cold air, sending out a massive ice pillar—an ice bird leading at the front.
"Yasakani no Magatama!" Borsalino (Kizaru) crossed both arms and fired countless golden light bullets.
"Hei!!"Onigumo activated his Devil Fruit powers, extending his hair into eight blades, attacking simultaneously. He was in his Zoan-type Spider-Spider Fruit: Six-legged Spider Form.
Momonga, fully clad in Armament Haki, leapt into the air with Geppo (Moonwalk), brandishing his sword and attacking Roger and Whitebeard.
Strawberry and Burning Mountain both strengthened themselves with Armament Haki, gripped their swords with serious expressions, and also launched attacks.
A tremendous sound echoed—under the combined strike of Roger and Whitebeard, all of Akainu and the others' attacks were completely overwhelmed.
Everyone was instantly blown away—even the Logia trio of Akainu, Aokiji, and Borsalino were no exception.
"Young men… you still have a lot to learn." Roger grinned and strode forward with a confident, unstoppable swagger.
"Hahahahahahahahaha… Roger, I won't lose to you." Whitebeard also grinned, keeping pace right beside him, still remembering their earlier contest of who could take down the most enemies.

"Oi, Captain! Save some for us!"
Jabba rushed over, his fists and axe hardened with Armament Haki, taking position at Roger's left.
"Jabba, I won't let you get hurt!"
"Seems like you're not having enough fun—let me join in!" Rayleigh appeared at Roger's right.
"HAHAHA! Time for the three of us to go wild again!" Roger roared with laughter.
—Pirate King, Gol D. Roger
—Right Hand of the Pirate King, Silvers Rayleigh
—Left Hand of the Pirate King, Scopper Jabba
"Hehehehe! This time, I'm definitely going to kill these Celestial Dragons' lapdogs!" Yamon charged forward with a wicked grin, dual spears in hand.
"Watch my transformation!"
Sanbel activated his family's transformation ability—spikes sprouted from his back as he entered beast form, running on all fours with sharp fangs bared.
"Old San, give me a ride!"Swordsman Spencer leapt onto Sanbel's back.
"Count me in!" Yamon also jumped on.
"Charge!!" Nozdon, Taro, Mire Pine, Eye Dragon and the others charged forward, blood boiling with excitement.
"Old man, we've come to help!" Marco, in his Phoenix form, flew to Whitebeard's right.
"And me too!" Diamond Jozu, massive yet incredibly fast, sprinted to Whitebeard's left, his body covered in sparkling, hardened crystals.
"Kill them all!!"Flower Sword Vista, Rakuyo, Namur, Izo and the others all rushed in as well.
"Hahahahaha! Now this is thrilling! Hahahahaha!" Teach (Blackbeard) charged in with a sword, with no specific target—he was simply enjoying the chaos.
Since Reid hadn't activated his system, his speed and stamina remained limited to his own physical capabilities, causing him to slow down.
"With Roger and Whitebeard here, I absolutely can't use the system. I must wait until Wano and meet Kurozumi Murasame. I have to hold out. I, Reid, will shake this sea—from Wano onward!"
Reid grew more excited the more he thought. He looked ahead.
"Let's save it to the index first."
Then he transformed into Mythical Zoan: Human-Human Fruit – Great Buddha Form.
Reid leapt high into the sky, using Moonwalk mid-air to boost further up.
Then, he launched a massive palm slam in Buddha form, pressing down with full force.
"Reid! I will capture you!"Akainu roared.
"Hahaha! You stupid dog—watch me beat you senseless!"
Akainu didn't understand what "stupid" meant, but he caught the gist. Plus, Reid had just called him a "stupid dog."
"Bakayaro! You damned pirates! Even if I die today, I'll wipe you all out!A ll of you… die!! Even if we fall today, we'll still destroy you pirates!!"
Akainu's entire body turned to magma as he launched himself into the air, unleashing a wave of searing lava toward Roger and the others.
The sky was instantly covered by a wave of searing magma.
"Great Eruption!"Massive magma projectiles began raining down indiscriminately, accompanied by intense heat waves.
At this moment, the Roger Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates had already charged in. Using Observation Haki to sense attacks clearly wasn't going to work in such chaos.
"Ice Age!"
Aokiji placed his hand on the ground, trying to freeze and smooth out the terrain, coordinating with Akainu's Great Eruption.
Borsalino (Kizaru) flashed into the air:" Yasakani no Magatama!"
"Hold it, your opponent is me, young man." Rayleigh suddenly appeared before Borsalino and slashed at him.
"Nee~ Silvers Rayleigh…" Borsalino formed a sword of light and engaged Rayleigh in close combat.
"Watch this! Hei!!"Jozu charged forward and punched the ground with his crystal-covered fist, shattering the surrounding ice.
"Jozu, I'll help! You better down three drinks in thanks later!" Nozdon, with his large frame, also rushed in and leapt forward, smashing the ground with a powerful punch.
"Undying Flame!" Marco flew above Roger and Whitebeard, forming a massive blue flame shield to block the falling magma projectiles.
"Hahaha, child's play." Roger grinned and charged forward at full speed.
Whitebeard also rushed in, carrying his massive blade on his shoulder.
Hot steam hissed beneath their feet, melting and shattering the ice with each step.
"Marco, get out of the way! Ultimate Divine Departure — Ace!!" Roger stomped the ground, causing it to crack, and slashed upward with an enhanced version of Divine Departure, aiming straight at the massive magma overhead.
The space around them twisted violently, and a thunderous boom echoed through the sky!
"Hahahahahahahaha!! Take this!!"Whitebeard's sword, wrapped in the power of the Gura Gura no Mi, slashed toward the sky!
Both their sword attacks were infused with Conqueror's Haki, radiating black and red energy.
"Hiss! Agh…"
The massive magma was instantly torn apart, its defenses shattered.
Akainu's body was exposed—he vomited blood and was blasted away.
"Pffft… agh… dammit!!"Akainu coughed up blood again and again, and despite the intense pain, elementalized and escaped.
"This is bad…"Aokiji's eyes were full of disbelief and panic.
"Everyone retreat! We can't handle these two! Ice Age!"
He used Ice Age again to delay the enemy, then elementally shifting and flashed to the coast.
"Ice Age!"
This time, Aokiji only created a single ice path—just enough for the navy's warships to escape. He merged with the ice, quickly fleeing.
"Pass the order! All ships retreat!!" Aokiji shouted to the nearest ship as he escaped.
"Ah! Retreat, retreat! "Hearing Aokiji's command, the warships immediately turned around.
"Get back quickly, now!"Soldiers on the other ships, watching through binoculars, panicked and fled as well.
Borsalino had it the easiest—he just elementally shifting into light and vanished at lightspeed.
"Damn it! Run!" Momonga yelled. He didn't have a Logia fruit, so he used Moonwalk to leap into the air, trying to escape.
"You're not getting away! Beast Charge!" Sanbel rammed forward, spikes extending from his back and spraying toxic venom from his clothes.
"Taste my spear!" Yamon jumped off Sanbel's back, roaring as he stabbed his spear at Momonga.
Swordsman Spencer also leapt from Sanbel's back and slashed at Burning Mountain with his sword.
"Take my hammer!"Blamenco pulled a giant hammer from his neck and smashed it down.
"Don't run!"Marco flew after them, far faster than Momonga—Moonwalk was nothing compared to his speed.
Everyone swarmed in, unleashing their full power in all-out attacks.
Momonga, Burning Mountain, Onigumo, Doberman, and Strawberry—five in total—were all captured moments later.
"What the hell… I barely even made a move and it's already over…"Reid stood there stunned, speechless.
"Those three Logia kids sure are good at escaping with their lives. "Roger looked toward the distant vanishing figures with irritation.
"Yeah, those three are definitely destined to be future Admirals," Rayleigh said calmly as he approached. "Especially Akainu. I don't think he's simple at all. Even after taking a joint attack from, you and Whitebeard, he still managed to escape. That takes serious willpower."
