Chapter 208

"The Earthquake Man, Bai Huzi Edward Newgate, this man possesses the power to destroy the world!"

Whoosh!

At the moment when everyone was extremely tense facing this massive tsunami,

a tall figure leaped from the Admiral's seat into the air, shouting:

"Ice Age!"

Crack crack crack~~

The tsunami instantly froze into blocks of ice.

That figure fell back onto the sea surface of Marineford Port, freezing the seawater into thick ice as well.

Possessing such power, besides the Admiral Kuzan, the user of the Ice-Ice Fruit, who else could it be?

Seeing Kuzan take action, Sengoku's old eyes flashed with relief.

The reason he had kept Kuzan in Marineford all along was to prevent Whitebeard's tsunami.

Kuzan indeed did not disappoint him; he truly is the successor he had long seen as promising. (Very well done)

Just as Sengoku was about to issue the order to attack, the Den Den Mushi in his arms suddenly rang.

Why make a phone call at a time like this?

Sengoku did not want to answer; dealing with the Whitebeard Pirates was the most urgent matter right now, and all other things had to be put on the back burner.

But upon glancing, he saw it was actually Taimu calling.

Sengoku's heart immediately skipped a beat.

He knew this call was absolutely regarding Impel Down, regarding the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing.

Sengoku gritted his teeth and answered anyway.

Impel Down was also extremely important; he could not remain unaware of the situation.

And not long after answering, Sengoku's face suddenly turned deathly pale, and his whole body shook, nearly losing his balance.

It was not that Sengoku had weak psychological endurance, but rather the information Taimu reported was truly too horrifying.

Impel Down destroyed, Magellan killed, Shiryu of the Rain defected, and all the prisoners became subordinates of the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing!

The Fifth Emperor Luo Xing even led those people back to Sabaody and occupied Sabaody!

These pieces of news one after another were like thunderclaps in a clear sky, shaking the usually composed Sengoku so much that he could not come to his senses for a long time.

179, Marineford in Turmoil! Yoru Becomes a Black Blade, Promoted to Supreme Grade Great Sword!

Sengoku stood there dumbfounded.

Shocked beyond words.

He could hardly believe his own ears.

But Taimu could not be lying; Impel Down was truly destroyed, Magellan was dead, and that despicable bastard had even occupied the Sabaody Archipelago!

Countless thoughts flashed through Sengoku's mind in an instant.

First, the destruction of Impel Down would inevitably cause an unprecedented huge blow to the Navy and the World Government's prestige.

Second, the occupation of Sabaody was equivalent to holding a knife against the heart of the Navy and the Government.

These were all urgent emergencies that could not be delayed!

Sengoku was in a state of extreme anxiety, with blisters even forming at the corners of his mouth.

But he still forced himself to calm down.

Since things had come to this, if he lost his composure, the entire Navy would fall into chaos.

Then the war before them would surely be lost, and things would only develop in a worse direction.

Sengoku calmly put away the Den Den Mushi.

He had to conceal these two pieces of news: the destruction of Impel Down and the occupation of Sabaody.

He must stabilize the Navy's morale and deal with the Whitebeard Pirates first.

However,

things did not go as wished.

Suddenly, an albatross flew across the sky and scattered countless newspapers.

"No good, could that be..."

Sengoku's pupils trembled violently; he hurriedly caught a newspaper, and upon seeing it, he instantly felt dizzy and faint.

Only after a long while did he roar through gritted teeth:

"Morgans, you bastard!"

The albatross was indeed an employee under Morgans, and printed on the newspaper were exactly the two major pieces of news Sengoku wanted to conceal.

On the front page of the newspaper were two lines of bold black characters, strikingly clear.

"The world's number one prison, Impel Down, known as an iron wall, has been destroyed by the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing, sunk into the sea, and no longer exists!!"

"The Fifth Emperor Luo Xing has subdued the Impel Down prisoners, occupied the Sabaody Archipelago, and reached the heart of the Navy and the World Government!!"

These two lines of striking bold characters made the Navy side's vision go black with shock.

One hundred thousand Marines immediately erupted in uproar, shouting:

"Impossible, that was Impel Down! How could it be destroyed?"

"Impel Down was guarded by Magellan and Shiryu of the Rain!"

"Didn't you read the newspaper? Warden Magellan was killed, and Shiryu of the Rain defected!"

"What?!"

"Impel Down is truly destroyed, and the utterly vicious criminals imprisoned there have joined the Beasts Pirates; what should we do from now on?"

The Marines were in a state of panic.

"Even more terrifying is that Sabaody has been seized by the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing; the distance from there to Marineford and the Holy Land Mary Geoise is merely short, which will keep us restless day and night!"

The morale of the hundred thousand Marines began to waver; even those elite Vice Admirals wore expressions of sheer horror.

Woshu stared at the newspaper in his hands, his trembling shaking both of them.

When he was in Dressrosa, he had caught a distant glimpse of that man.

Who could have thought that in such a short time, that man had become even more terrifying than he was then!

At the Seven Warlords' seats.

Gecko Moria let out a cackling laugh.

He had already submitted to Luo Xing and was well aware of Luo Xing's plans.

Boa Hancock, who also belonged to Luo Xing's faction, paid no attention to anything else; she simply stared tightly at Luo Xing's photograph on the newspaper.

Morgans had taken a very handsome photo: the moment Luo Xing slashed the giant Uniboss, formed by Barret's fusion, with Purgatory: Demon God.

It displayed Luo Xing's peerless Haki and his spirit that looked down upon the world to the fullest extent.

The Empress watched, utterly entranced, her beautiful eyes nearly dripping with water.

On the other side, Mihawk's pupils contracted slightly.

When he learned that Luo Xing had appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago, he knew the matter was not simple.

Indeed,

that man's true target was Impel Down first, and only secondarily Sabaody.

This strategy of feigning an attack in the east while striking in the west had played the Navy and the World Government for fools; even Mihawk had to admire it.

On the Whitebeard Pirates' side.

Marco had also seen Luo Xing; upon seeing the newspaper, he could not hide his shock.

Their Summit War had only just begun, yet that man had already accomplished such a feat; truly, he was aggressive like fire and moved like thunder!

Whitebeard himself said nothing, but seeing his wide-open eyes, he was clearly greatly surprised as well.

Whitebeard thought to himself:

"That kid Kaido has truly found an extraordinary son-in-law."

Whitebeard also noticed that the newspaper reported Jinbe had also surrendered to Luo Xing.

Whitebeard was not angry; instead, he felt gratified.

He had long had a premonition that his end was near; when he was at Fish-Man Island, he had even told Neptune to find a way out.

Now that Jinbe has joined the Beasts Pirates, Fish-Man Island will naturally come under the Beasts Pirates' protection.

As the strongest of the current Four Emperors' crews, the Beasts Pirates are undoubtedly a great boon for Fish-Man Island.

The entire battlefield at Marineford fell into a brief stagnation due to the major incident caused by Luo Xing.

Whether Navy or pirates, all were utterly shocked.
