At this moment, the pirate forces had descended into a frenzied charge, rallying around Whitebeard and Rayleigh, swarming murderously towards the execution platform.

Whitebeard and Rayleigh, two top-tier powerhouses, formed the tip of the spear.

Marco and the other Whitebeard Pirate Division Commanders—along with the 43 allied pirate captains, formed the wings, creating a massive wedge formation pushing towards the platform.

The remaining Marine forces, though still holding a slight numerical advantage, were no longer facing an enemy they outnumbered almost two-to-one, not after the losses inflicted by Rowen and Whitebeard—

—And under the influence of Rowen’s terrifying Conqueror’s Haki storm, coupled with Akainu being temporarily taken out of the fight by Whitebeard, the pirates’ morale was soaring, while the Marines were in full retreat.

But the Navy was still the most powerful force on these seas. Under the command of the Marine staff officers, even in this dire situation, they quickly formed a new defensive line, effectively repelling the charging pirates.

Whitebeard and Rayleigh didn’t dare waste any more stamina or Haki.

Though Aokiji was dead and Akainu was temporarily out of action, the execution platform still held the Navy’s two most annoying old timers.

Their age was a factor; their stamina and Haki endurance were far from their prime.

Especially Whitebeard; his physical condition had deteriorated to such an extent, and having taken several heavy blows from Akainu.

Whitebeard was now fighting purely on his astonishing willpower, pushing his decrepit body forward.

His remaining stamina and Haki had to be saved for the most critical moment.

Marco and the others also knew this, their own strength couldn’t play a decisive role. Their stamina and Haki just needed to be enough to open a path to the execution platform.

In their advance, Marco and the others began to fight for their lives.

The Marine defensive line, with Gion and Chaton as its core, and the remaining combat-capable Vice Admirals on the wings, stubbornly resisted.

"ACE!" Luffy, now in the vanguard of the pirate forces, looked towards Ace on the execution platform, clenching his fists tightly.

The moment the final charge began, the Warlords had contracted their defensive lines, allowing Luffy and Vista to break free from Mihawk.

"Luffy, How’s your Haki recovery?" Zoro and Sanji asked, having taken down several Marine officers and now flanking Luffy.

"Three minutes at most," Luffy replied, assessing his stamina and Haki.

And that was his absolute limit. After that time, his Haki and stamina would be completely drained; he would lose all his Devil Fruit powers and be unable to move.

"Three minutes?? Don’t engage anyone until you reach the execution platform," Zoro and Sanji instructed, standing on either side of Luffy.

Zoro began to gather his Asura Aura, his entire being radiating the presence of a demon from purgatory.

Sanji’s right leg began to smolder with blue flames.

Asura Aura, Ifrit Jambe!

"PACIFISTAS! ANNIHILATE THE PIRATES!" Sentomaru roared.

A group of Pacifistas stood together, simultaneously activating their Glint-Glint Fruit laser abilities.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Countless terrifying laser beams shot into the pirate ranks.

BOOM!

Horrifying explosions erupted, and the pirates suffered heavy casualties amidst screams of agony.

The number of Pacifistas was immense. Rowen had no spare stamina to deal with them; they had to be handled by the Whitebeard Pirates.

This was the true purpose of the Pacifistas—though their attack power was far inferior to Kizaru’s, they didn’t consume Kizaru’s own stamina, only an energy source, making them incredibly effective on the battlefield.

Seeing the Pacifistas’ combined attack inflict heavy losses, neither Rayleigh nor even Whitebeard showed any intention of intervening.

They had weathered too many storms; they knew that in a war of this scale, acting on emotion would have dire consequences.

In this decisive phase of battle, every bit of their stamina and Haki was crucial.

Even seeing their own side suffer heavy casualties, feeling immense pain in their hearts, they could only watch!

The Navy was the same. Seeing elite Marines die under pirate blades, Kizaru and Sengoku merely looked on, their faces grim, completely unmoved.

This was true war... Cruel and bloody!

At this critical juncture, the entire battlefield was a frightening meat grinder!

Every step forward for the pirate forces came at a painful price.

And the Navy wasn’t having an easy time either. In terms of elite core forces, plus the addition of the Pacifistas, they should have had a significant advantage.

But the Straw Hat Pirates’ Pirate Hunter and Black Leg were terrifyingly strong—Zoro in his Asura state and Sanji in his Ifrit Jambe state were both Yonko Commander level combatants.

Combined with Marco, these three were inflicting heavy losses on the Navy.

And the Desert Princess’s Logia Sand-Sand Fruit ability, constantly conjuring horrifying sandstorms, was destroying the Marines’ defensive formations.

However, the Navy’s side wasn’t just limited to Gion and Chaton as desperate Admiral Candidate level fighters.

Kuma, now completely modified, his consciousness erased, with only his subconscious instinct to protect Bonney remaining—upon receiving orders, he immediately activated his Paw-Paw Fruit ability.

He formed numerous air bombs, creating a series of terrifying explosions within the pirate ranks.

The destructive influence of a fully-unleashed Paw-Paw Fruit in a war was in no way inferior to a Logia.

<><><><><><><><>

"BASTARD! BARTHOLOMEW KUMA!" The pirate forces roared with hatred, looking at Kuma.

They didn’t know his true situation, they only knew this Warlord was inflicting horrifying losses upon them—too many of their brothers had died under the Paw-Paw Fruit’s power.

"LAPDOG OF THE WORLD GOVERNMENT!" The pirates roared, looking at Kuma with disgust.

It was common knowledge on the seas that among the Seven Warlords—only Bartholomew Kuma faithfully carried out the World Government’s every order—obeying them without question, a disgrace to the name of pirate!

"Kuma..." Seeing Kuma, with whom they had had such a pleasant conversation on Thriller Bark, now in this state, Luffy and the others grit their teeth.

<><><><><><><><>

"I’M GOING!" Bonney grit her teeth and charged towards Kuma.

Hearing the pirates’ curses against Kuma, Bonney’s heart felt like it was being torn apart. Her father wasn’t like that. It was all for her that her father obeyed the World Government...

Her father’s love for her surpassed even his faith.

Though Bonney knew Rowen would surely have a way to bring her father’s soul back from the underworld, hearing her father being insulted—Bonney couldn’t bear it.

"Bonney!" Nami and Vivi cried out, trying to stop her.

But on this chaotic battlefield, they couldn’t do such a thing.

They could only use their Sorcery Clima-Tact’s Rumble-Rumble Fruit power and their Sand-Sand Fruit ability with all their might, clearing a path for Bonney—

—Robin also crossed her arms, unleashing her Flower-Flower Fruit ability to its fullest, trying her best to clear the obstacles before Bonney.

"Negative Hollow——!"

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Countless Negative Hollows appeared before Bonney, passing through the bodies of the Marines blocking her path.

WHOOSH!

Bonney deactivated her Age-Age Fruit ability, reverting to her nine-year-old form.

Home...

VMM!

The Pacifista opened its mouth, the Glint-Glint Fruit’s laser beginning to charge.

BANG!

BOOM!
