Ten days later, the Whitebeard Pirates had successfully left the vicinity of Marine Headquarters.
They had just bid farewell to the Red Hair Pirates and others.
Luffy and Sabo temporarily stayed with Ace on the Whitebeard ship.
As for the Marines, after the war began and they realized the situation was unfavorable, the agents secretly dispatched by the Five Elders promptly cut the live broadcast.
They later blocked the news, so the outcome of this war hadn't spread yet.
However, the Marines probably couldn't keep this secret for long.
In a little while, the whole world would know the Marines lost this war.
So while the news was still contained, the Marine side was trying to minimize the impact of this war.
Just then, the Sky Screen system reappeared, capturing everyone's attention.
["Ding! The third broadcast begins!"]
["This session's famous scene is: 〈See You Again, Luffy〉."
["Before the famous scene begins, the continuation of the previous video will be played. Please watch."]
[Pirate 1: The Sky Screen is finally back! The days without you were so boring!]
[Pirate 2: Speaking of which, who won the real Summit War? The live broadcast was cut off right after the war started; no one knows what happened later.]
[Diamond Jozu: Hahaha! Of course, our Whitebeard Pirates won! Ace came back with us! Those mere Marines were no match for us!]
[Pirate 3: A completely different development from the video! That means the Marine side suffered a major defeat!]
[Civilian 1: How could this happen? The Marines actually lost? How can the safety of us civilians be guaranteed now?]
[Civilian 2: The Marines were fully prepared yet still couldn't defeat the Whitebeard Pirates. Does this mean we can only live under the threat of pirates from now on?]
[Civilian 3: I can't accept this outcome! Why did it turn out like this?]
...
On the Sky Screen, most civilians couldn't accept the Marines' defeat.
For those constantly under the threat of pirates, the Marines were their only hope.
But now the Marines had lost to pirates, which they completely couldn't understand. This also damaged the Marines' credibility.
The civilians' trust in the Marines had unconsciously dropped significantly.
The Marines had anticipated this but currently had no solution.
Fortunately, the Sky Screen video began playing again, diverting everyone's attention and giving the Marines a breather.
〖After Ace's death, Akainu's actions didn't stop.
He approached the one who was on the verge of collapse, and said
"Straw Hat, now it's your turn."
As he spoke, violent magma surged around him.
The next instant, his magma fist was about to strike Luffy.
At this critical moment, a barrier of blue flames blocked Akainu's attack.
Marco the Phoenix suddenly appeared.
"I won't allow you to harm Ace's brother again!"
Akainu looked at the newcomer and snorted coldly. "Get out of my way!"
He used his Devil Fruit ability again, attacking Marco.
Marco quickly reacted, shouting to Jinbe nearby.
"Hurry and take Ace's brother away, Jinbe! The battle isn't over yet! Straw Hat is someone Ace gave his life to protect! His life is the will of Ace living on! We must protect him properly on Ace's behalf! If we let him die, it would be a disgrace to our Whitebeard Pirates!"
After Marco finished shouting this, the remaining Whitebeard Pirates members rallied.
They awoke from the grief of Ace's death and began fighting with the goal of protecting Straw Hat Luffy.
Jinbe prepared to retreat with Luffy. "Pull yourself together, Luffy-san!"
Seeing this, Akainu suddenly increased his attack power, sending Marco and the others flying, and charged at Luffy again.
"I believe I told you: neither of those brothers is getting away."〗
[Pirate 1: Oh my god! The Marine side in the video is this powerful? Could it be that besides Fire Fist Ace, even Straw Hat will die by Akainu's hand?]
[Pirate 2: The video and reality are complete opposites! It makes me unsure whether to believe the Sky Screen video's progression.]
[Pirate 3: What's hard to believe? Without the Sky Screen, obviously the video shows the true future. But now, in reality, because the Sky Screen appeared, it caused a different outcome. That means subsequent Sky Screen videos can definitely be trusted; it's just that we can change the future based on them.]
[Pirate 4: That seems true! Whatever, I'll just keep watching the video. I wonder if Straw Hat Luffy dies in the original progression?]
[Pirate 5: I think probably not. Look! That person is confronting Akainu!]
Everyone looked at the video. Sure enough, a person appeared, making Akainu abandon his attack.
〖Just as Akainu's attack charged toward Luffy and Jinbe, a snow-white sword flash suddenly appeared.
An extremely violent and terrifying presence emerged behind him, forcing Akainu to stop and look back.
The newcomer was actually Whitebeard. He looked at Akainu, charged fiercely, and directly pressed Akainu's entire head into the ground.
The plaza cracked continuously; Akainu's face began to deform, gradually bleeding profusely.
But Whitebeard's attack didn't stop there. He suddenly leaped up, aiming to kick Akainu.
The next second, Akainu dodged at the critical moment, avoiding severe injury but still being sent flying by the shockwave.
Whitebeard still didn't give up.
He swung his supreme grade blade again, slashing at Akainu.
Akainu didn't just let him attack either, instead continuously throwing magma punches that landed on Whitebeard, causing him some damage.
But Whitebeard didn't defend at all, Under Whitebeard's relentless assault, Akainu struggled to hold on.
However, he obviously wouldn't admit defeat so easily.
Just when everyone thought he was losing to Whitebeard, he suddenly used a move, "Meigo," punching another hole in Whitebeard's body.〗
[Pirate 1: Whitebeard is completely enraged! But no wonder—his son was killed by Akainu!]
[Gecko Moria: Even though already so injured, he repeatedly breaks his limits and can still display such powerful strength, Truly worthy of being the world's strongest man!]
[Golden Lion Shiki: Gehahahaha! Whitebeard in the video has completely lost his cool! But in battle, that's not a good sign.]
