Chapter 219
Everyone lost their footing.
Even Akainu, who had intended to press the advantage and kill Bai Huzi, stumbled.
On the execution platform.
Moria, having completed the task Luo Xing assigned, immediately withdrew without a word.
With a few leaps, he vanished behind the Marine Headquarters building.
Sengoku, finally freed from control, flew into a rage, his beard and hair bristling.
"Moonlight Moria, you bastard! I will settle the score with you sooner or later!"
Sengoku had no time to chase Moria now; he absolutely could not let Fire Fist Ace truly escape.
Otherwise, the Marines would be utterly defeated this time!
Blazing Jin Guang erupted from Sengoku's body, and he suddenly transformed into a golden Buddha.
Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan: Golden Buddha Form!
The Human-Human Fruit itself is an extremely special type of fruit; the ordinary kind, like the one Chopper ate, besides turning people into landlubbers, is basically useless.
But if it is a Mythical Zoan, then it is entirely different!
The two known Human-Human Fruits of the Mythical Zoan type, one Sun God Nika and the other Golden Buddha, are both earth-shattering existences.
"Fire Fist Ace, since others cannot do it, then I, old man, will personally execute you!"
Buddha Sengoku let out a voice like a great bronze bell, raised his giant Jin Guang fist, and smashed it down toward Ace.
At this moment, Fire Fist Ace was somewhat dazed.
He never expected to be released by the Warlord Moria.
While he was still in a state of shock and doubt, Sengoku's Jin Guang giant fist was already smashing down on him.
Ace had no time to think further; he immediately elementalized his entire body, turning it all into flames.
The Jin Guang giant fist struck the flames.
With a Boom, the entire execution platform was destroyed.
Ace used the force of the impact to land on the plaza of Marineford, reverting to human form.
Ace was overjoyed; he could finally use the Mera Mera no Mi's ability, he was finally free!
The entire Whitebeard Pirates were also swept up in an atmosphere of wild joy.
"Ace!!"
Captain after captain and commander after commander excitedly greeted Ace.
On the other side.
Bai Huzi, having unleashed his full power, was even more overjoyed and shouted again:
"You all, quickly return to the New World with Ace; I, old man, will hold off the Marines!"
Phoenix Ma Erke said with concern:
"Father, you must leave with us; your body must receive treatment immediately!"
Bai Huzi laughed generously:
"You foolish sons, I know my own body best; that Senzu Bean you brought back back then only treated my injuries."
"I was already near death; to die on the battlefield for my dear sons is the best ending for me!"
"Do you understand, Ma Erke!"
Hearing these words, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates immediately burst into tears.
Fire Fist Ace even knelt on the ground, crying out loudly: "Father!"
Bai Huzi, disregarding everything, activated the power of the Gura Gura no Mi, causing his body to deteriorate once more, coughing up blood again.
But he paid it no mind at all, looking only at Ace with a gratified smile:
"Do not cry, Ace. At this final moment, I only want to ask you one question."
"Am I, as your father, qualified?"
In Fire Fist Ace's heart, a giant hammer seemed to surge up to his throat; his throat rolled, and his tear-filled eyes blurred.
Ace bowed deeply, shouting with all his might:
"Of course, Father!!"
Bai Huzi smiled silently.
"Gurarara..."
This was indeed a deeply moving scene, but do not forget, this is a battlefield!
What is erupting now is a life-or-death war!
When Bai Huzi's power stopped, when Fire Fist Ace and the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates fled,
Akainu, without a word, chased after them.
The aggressive Akainu was not a man of brute force; on the contrary, he was very intelligent.
This could be seen from his defection of Great Spiral Squard and his ability to seize the opportunity to severely injure Bai Huzi on two points.
Including in the original story, his rise to Fleet Admiral was not merely due to strength; 587 also had reasons related to strategy and cunning.
Therefore.
Akainu's pursuit was not without strategy; instead, it directly targeted Fire Fist Ace's weakness.
Akainu shouted from behind:
"What nonsense about father-son affection; Bai Huzi is, after all, merely a failure of this era!"
"Fire Fist Ace, your true father is the Pirate King Luo Jie; he alone counts as a hero."
"Recognizing a failure like Bai Huzi as your father, you and your Whitebeard Pirates can only be trash!"
Such an insult to Bai Huzi made the Whitebeard Pirates, who regarded Bai Huzi as their father, all furiously enraged.
But they fortunately weren't blinded by rage, knowing that Akainu was using the Provocation Tactic.
However, the impulsive Fire Fist Ace stopped, turned around, and glared furiously at Akainu.
"What did you just say? Bai Huzi is a loser?"
"Bastard! Don't you dare insult my savior!"
"This era is named after Bai Huzi!!"
A glint of successful scheming flashed in Akainu's eyes.
That fool Fire Fist Ace, as expected, took the bait.
Akainu took off his hat, rubbed his head, and mocked with a laugh:
"Oh? This era is named after Bai Huzi? But this Great Pirate Era was personally opened by your father Luo Jie!"
"As Luo Jie's son, how can you worship a loser like that?"
Ace's eyes instantly turned red.
His chest brimmed with endless fury.
He hated his own bloodline, he hated the Pirate King!
Bai Huzi was his true old man, the most important person to him!
"Shut up! Shut up!"
Ace roared, and actually took the initiative to launch an attack against Akainu.
"Fire Fist!"
Akainu was overjoyed inside, killing intent fully exposed in his eyes.
He put his hat back on, then likewise threw a punch.
"Hell Hound!"

Akainu's Magma-Magma Fruit is a superior Devil Fruit to Ace's Flame-Flame Fruit.
Moreover, Akainu's overall strength was above Ace's in every aspect.
So without any surprise, in the clash between the giant magma fist and the giant flame fist, Akainu won completely, and Ace was sent flying.
"Go to hell, son of the Pirate King! The evil blood flowing in you should be completely severed!"
Akainu leaped up, his fist cloaked in scorching magma, and smashed viciously toward Ace once more.
The Whitebeard commanders were greatly shocked.
Ma Erke was the fastest, transformed into a phoenix, and used the phoenix's blue flames to block Akainu's magma fist.
But Ma Erke's block was extremely difficult; the magma's intense heat made it very hard for him to endure as well.
