Madara Uchiha revealed a faint smile; since it was a faction war, then let him become the third faction!

"Fu fu fu!!" Doflamingo's laughter suddenly rang out on the battlefield, sharp and piercing.

He stood on the ruins in the distance, the corners of his mouth splitting into an exaggerated smile: "Interesting! This play suddenly became even more exciting!"

"Hmph," Hancock shook her long black hair and said coldly, "Just a self-righteous man, far inferior to Luffy."

Kizaru tilted his head to look in Madara's direction. His tone remained frivolous, with a hint of nonchalance: "Oh my, the young man who suddenly appeared looks quite formidable~"

Akainu coldly watched Madara, a flash of anger in his eyes: "Just another madman attempting to disrupt order!"

Whitebeard stood on the Moby Dick, watching Madara in the center of the battlefield. He suddenly laughed to the sky: "Gura gura gura! Truly met an extraordinary brat!"

As soon as the laughter fell, Whitebeard's expression immediately turned serious.

He shouted loudly to the crew around him: "Sons, avoid Madara Uchiha! Focus on rescuing Ace first!"

His order had just been issued, and the members of the Whitebeard Pirates immediately took action. They adjusted their formation, attempting to bypass the area where Madara was, advancing toward the Execution Platform.

At this moment, a sudden angry shout came: "Arrogant!"

Two figures rushed toward Madara Uchiha like arrows leaving a bow. They were the two elite Vice Admirals of the Marine, Doberman and Galmur.

The great swords in their hands were covered with pitch-black Armament Haki, emitting a chilling cold light under the sunlight.

The two Vice Admirals were perfectly in sync, one on the left and one on the right, obviously determined to defeat the enemy with a single strike.

However, facing the fierce attack, Madara's expression did not change in the slightest. He stood in place, arms crossed, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

Doberman and Galmur moved like lightning, leaping up almost simultaneously.

"Hah!" The two Vice Admirals roared simultaneously, muscles throughout their bodies tensing, pouring all their strength into this strike.

The blade broke the sky, emitting a piercing whistle. In the blink of an eye, the sharp blade tip had already approached Madara's face.

Clang! As soon as the blade tip touched the surface of Susanoo, it emitted a piercing metallic collision sound.

The two sharp great swords only pierced in one inch, then could not advance another bit.

"How how is this possible?!" Doberman widened his eyes, watching the scene before him in disbelief. Galmur was equally shocked, cold sweat sliding down his forehead.

Before they could recover, Susanoo's arm swung fiercely, a huge blue fist smashing down like Mount Tai pressing down from above, violent air waves sweeping the surroundings.

Boom! The two Vice Admirals were thrown away like kites with broken strings, drawing a long arc in the air, finally slamming heavily onto the ice surface in the distance, kicking up a spray of ice shards.

Madara stood in place, calmly watching this scene.

He shook his head slightly, his tone carrying obvious contempt and disappointment: "Is that all? It seems the 'elites' of this world are nothing more than this."

On the Execution Platform, Sengoku's expression grew increasingly grim. He stared fixedly at Madara, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

This suddenly appearing Madara Uchiha seemed far more troublesome than they had imagined. At this moment, Dracule Mihawk stood not far away, his sharp eyes slightly narrowed. His falcon-like piercing eyes stared fixedly at Madara Uchiha in the center of the battlefield, his hand unconsciously resting on the Black Blade Yoru behind him.

At this moment, Doflamingo's sharp laughter rang out: "Fu fu fu fu! Interesting! This guy who suddenly appeared seems to have some real skill!"

He turned to Mihawk, speaking provocatively: "Hey, Hawk-Eye, want to give it a try?"

Mihawk did not answer, simply slowly drawing the Black Blade Yoru behind him.

The black blade emitted a dim light under the sunlight, as if it could devour everything.

The next moment, a chilling cold light flashed through the air.

"Slash!"

Just as Mihawk's low voice fell, a huge flying slash like a crescent moon tore through the sky, heading straight for Madara. The air was torn by this terrifying sword momentum, emitting a sharp whistle.

This slash was unstoppable; wherever it passed, the solid ice surface was easily cut like tofu, leaving a bottomless ravine. The sea surface surged violently, and dozens of meters high tsunamis rose in the distance.

"The World's Greatest Swordsman has made a move!"

The surrounding Marines and Pirates exclaimed and retreated one after another, fearing being affected by this terrifying sword qi.

Facing Dracule Mihawk's unstoppable strike, Madara Uchiha's eyes flashed with a hint of interest.

He swung Susanoo's arm, the curved blade in his hand meeting that earth-shaking slash.

Boom! The two forces collided, emitting a deafening explosion. The air waves spread outward like substance, kicking up a gale.

The surrounding Marines and Pirates retreated one after another; some weaker ones were even knocked to the ground by this air wave.

However, to everyone's shock, the curved blade condensed by Madara actually perished together under this strike. Blue energy fragments scattered and flew.

"Interesting," Madara's voice carried appreciation, "the attack power is indeed not bad."

As his voice fell, a fluctuation suddenly occurred at Susanoo's waist, and a huge great sword emerged.

Susanoo reached out and slowly drew it. The blade emitted a faint blue light, as if it could cleave heaven and earth.

Madara fiercely swung the great sword; a sword qi twice as large as Hawk-Eye's slash instantly tore through the sky, rushing toward Hawk-Eye.

"What?!" Hawk-Eye's pupils shrank, and he gasped in disbelief, "Flying Slash?!"

Seeing that terrifying sword qi about to strike him, Hawk-Eye gripped the Black Blade Yoru with both hands, assuming a defensive posture.

Clang! The sword qi heavily struck the Black Blade Yoru, erupting in a deafening metallic collision sound.

Hawk-Eye felt an unimaginable immense force transmitted, and he involuntarily retreated half a step, leaving a deep footprint on the ice surface.

After steadying himself, Hawk-Eye stared at Madara with a solemn expression, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes: "Wrong. This is not a Flying Slash at all, but purely the wind pressure from a swing!"

The battlefield fell into silence. Everyone was shaken by this astonishing exchange.

The World's Greatest Swordsman's attack was actually resolved and countered so easily, this far exceeded their imagination.

Madara stood within Susanoo, looking down at Mihawk, excitement shining in his eyes: "Not bad, you're much stronger than those trash. But. this still isn't enough!"

"Tch." Doflamingo clicked his tongue inwardly, "Looks like a troublesome guy showed up this time."

The words had just fallen when a strange fluctuation suddenly came from the air.

Only to see Kizaru slowly stand up, his signature lazy expression becoming exceptionally serious at this moment.

"Oh my, oh my," Kizaru dragged out his tone, a hint of helplessness in his voice, "Being this arrogant isn't good, you know."
