"Well done, Renji! We must not be soft-hearted with these pirates." Akainu said, already less than two hundred meters from Ace.
"Damn Marine! Diamond Flash!"
A furious roar, accompanied by a whooshing sound, rapidly approached Akainu.
"Hm!?" Akainu turned his head to see a giant diamond enter his vision.
The next second.
Bang!
Just before Jozu crashed into him, Akainu unleashed his magma giant fist. Diamond and magma collided fiercely. The power of both was terrifying, and the area of impact exploded due to the immense force and the high temperature of the magma, spreading large, web-like cracks.
Renji watched this scene with interest. He had always been curious whether Akainu's magma could break through Jozu's diamond defense.
"Ahhh! Akainu!" Jozu's face was glowing red from the magma's firelight.
At this moment, his entire body's surface had transformed into diamond, relying on his powerful physical strength to contend with Akainu's explosive magma.
"Diamond Jozu! Do you also want to turn to ash?!"
As Akainu roared, with a "Bang!" explosion, he unleashed the power of lava even more fiercely. Although it hadn't melted Jozu, who had transformed into diamond, the latter was pushed back step by step by this force, seemingly about to collapse.
Boom!
A purple figure, taking Akainu by surprise, punched him flying.
Splat!
A lump of muddy black mass slid from Bullet's fist onto the ground. It was the rock he used to block the magma.
"Are you really Roger's son?" Without pursuing Akainu, Bullet asked Ace.
Listening to Bullet's words, Ace shook his head sharply, his face full of disgust. "No, my only father is Whitebeard."
"Hahahaha! Roger's son actually calls Whitebeard his father." Bullet laughed loudly, wiping the blood from his face, and glared fiercely at the surrounding Marines.
"Get out of here alive, grow up, and become my opponent. I believe Roger's bloodline will certainly not be inferior."
"He is the Demon Heir! Bullet!"
"He's actually helping us! Maybe there's still hope."
"Hoo—"
As a gust of cold air was exhaled, the freezing temperature even formed ice in mid-air. Aokiji blocked Ace's path.
"Don't always talk to yourselves."
"Admiral Aokiji!"
"Aokiji! This bastard is here too!"
"It's that ice man!" Luffy's face changed drastically as he looked at the person blocking their path.
Once upon a time, he and the Straw Hats' strongest, Zoro and Sanji, were instantly defeated by this guy when they teamed up. If he hadn't held back from killing them, he would probably be dead by now.
"Aokiji!" Ace looked at Aokiji with a grim expression.
Despite his wariness, he was not afraid. He extended his arm to shield Luffy behind him, and fire snakes of astonishing temperature spewed from his body.
"Luffy, step aside, let me handle this."
"Ace, I can't let you go today." Aokiji seemed to sigh, his palm forming ice, solidifying into a giant frozen monstrous bird that charged at Ace.
Ice Age: Pheasant Beak!
Blazing flames, like a tornado, raged and burned on Ace's right arm, then quickly transformed into a giant mirror-like flame.
The next moment, it collided head-on with Aokiji's ice.
Sizzle!
Ice and flames intertwined and instantly melted, forming water vapor that immediately spread into a large mist.
"Ice ultimately can't contend with fire, can it? What a troublesome ability." Aokiji said.
"He actually blocked Admiral Aokiji's attack!"
"As expected of Ace! Let's seize this opportunity to retreat!"
Renji curled his lips at this sight. Alright, they're putting on a show again.
Ice that can clash with Akainu, would it be evenly matched with Ace's flames?
And Ace, who is severely injured, with less than one-tenth of his life remaining.
Garp stood beside Renji, speechless, only clenching his fists, his face terrifyingly dark.
But Renji didn't want to be idle now. There were still plenty of bounty points waiting for him to harvest. With a flash, he vanished from his spot.
—
"Fufufufu! How exciting. So, how will the rest of this war unfold?"
With many commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates dying, Doflamingo stood with his hands in his pockets, not even bothering to manipulate his puppet strings, becoming a spectator.
"But I never thought that Renji, as a Marine, would even dare to kill a warlord."
Watching Renji's figure disappear, Doflamingo couldn't help but look forward to it.
"Fufufu, so who is your next target?"
Just as Doflamingo was anticipating, an incredibly arrogant laugh made him frown.
"Zehahahahahahaha! Be swallowed by darkness! Sengoku!"
The black curtain was drawn, and Blackbeard made his reappearance.
His eyes gleamed with evil light, his left palm gathered a dark vortex, and his right fist gripped white vibrations. After years of enduring and lurking, he finally obtained this longed-for ability.
His heart was completely unleashed at this moment, feeling as if the world from now on was entirely within his control.
All the previous forbearance and humiliation had not been in vain.
"Zehahahahaha!"
"Blackbeard!" Sengoku frowned, looking at the arrogant Teach, puzzled.
Renji noticed that Teach had already acquired the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability. A free worker is not to be wasted. Since that's the case, then let me see your value, Blackbeard.
Renji's lips curled into a smile, and with a thought, he began to control Teach.
"Zehahaha... First, let's sink Marineford, which represents justice, to the bottom of the sea."
Just as Teach, with a ferocious expression, clenched his right fist, about to shake the atmosphere and cause a tsunami, a mysterious thought influenced him, even making him change his subsequent plan without him even realizing it. It was as if he himself intended to act in such a way.
This was the terrifying power of soul control.
Teach punched the air, and large cracks spread wildly, followed by an explosion.
Boom!
A terrifying shockwave blasted out, killing a large number of Whitebeard Pirates.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully controlling Teach to kill Oakes! Gained 444 Bounty points!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully controlling Teach to kill Yurimo! Gained 333 Bounty points!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully controlling Teach...]
Listening to the system's voice in his mind, Renji was slightly stunned.
Oh? It can be counted like this?
Killing people by controlling Blackbeard also allowed him to gain bounty points, and there were no deductions.
This was simply...
Teach had truly become his ultimate worker.
Renji showed a strange expression on his face, slowing down his actions.
In this way, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble?
Very good, go on a rampage like this, Teach.
Sengoku looked at Teach, who had just been laughing wildly, saying he would sink Marineford, but then turned around to help Marine kill enemies. His expression was somewhat puzzled, but he didn't say much, only keeping his eyes fixed on his old friend Garp.
If nothing unexpected happened, Ace would soon die at the hands of others. He was very worried that Garp would act impulsively and do something irreversible because of this. He had to stop him in time.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Terrifying tremor shockwaves continuously blasted out. Every punch from Teach delivered devastating blows to the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Blackbeard! How does he have pops' ability?!"
"Bastard! How did he do it?! It's impossible!"
"Zehahahaha!"
Compared to the pirates' shock, Teach was full of joy, immersed in the destructive power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, unable to extricate himself.
Shiryu, not far from him, looked puzzled. This doesn't seem to be according to the plan, right? Didn't he say he would fight Marine?
Bullet was equally puzzled, then was hit squarely in the chest by a light-speed kick.
Boom!
The terrifying force blasted Bullet away, leaving no trace.
"Yo. How did the prisoners from Impel Down run here? Did Magellan also leave work early?" Kizaru looked at his watch, showing a puzzled expression.
"Damn Kizaru!" Jozu's face was grim.
At this moment, he needed to block Kizaru and Akainu.
"Let's round up the pirates first." Akainu approached. Bullet's punch just now clearly hadn't caused much damage.
"Then I'll deal with this guy. My ability is more suitable." Kizaru said, looking at Jozu.
Akainu glanced at Kizaru, knowing that the latter was afraid of angering Garp, but he wouldn't be afraid of such things.
For the stability of world order, the evil bloodline of Pirate King Roger must end here today.
