Chapter 279: Preparing to Activate the Encirclement Wall

Karl made his move with almost no reservations, going all out from the start.

It didn't take much effort, and Blamenco also died under Karl's blade.

"Commander Blamenco!!!"

"Damn Navy! I'll fight you..."

A blade of light flashed, and the pirate who wanted to fight Karl to the death instantly left this beautiful world.

"Hmph! Fighting me to the death? If you had that ability, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates wouldn't be that old guy Whitebeard."

After speaking, Karl helped up a Navy soldier wearing a helmet by his feet: "How about it, can you still fight?"

*Gulp*~

T-Bone looked at Karl with excitement and shook his head quickly: "Vice Admiral Karl, I'm fine, I can still fight the pirates!"

"Hahaha, good momentum. Keep it up, don't you dare die!"

T-Bone saluted Karl solemnly: "Yes! Sir!!!"

Karl smiled and patted T-Bone on the shoulder, turning to look at the Moby Dick in the distance. Why hadn't they started fighting yet? What on earth were Aokiji and the others doing?

Uh... well, they were being held back by outstanding commanders Move Move Like Marco and Jozu.

"Kid, this straw hat looks a lot Move Move Like the one Red-Haired used to wear..."

"Ah! Uncle, do you know Shanks? He asked me to keep it for him."

Whitebeard couldn't help but recall what Shanks had said to him not long ago, and he looked at Luffy deeply.

"Are you here to save your brother?"

"Exactly!"

"You know who the enemy is, right! Being so reckless Move Move Like you will cost you your life!!!"

Luffy looked up at Whitebeard and shouted loudly: "Shut up! You don't need to worry about that!"

"I know you want to be the Pirate King, right! The one who will become the Pirate King is me!!!"

Hearing this, Whitebeard laughed instead of getting angry: "Gurararara~ arrogant enough. If you dare to hold me back, I won't forgive you, snot-nosed kid!"

"Hmph! I will do it according to my own ideas! I will save Ace!!!"

After speaking, Luffy raised his hands high and shouted loudly: "Ace! I'm coming, ahhhhh!!!"

In front of him were countless reinforced Navy soldiers, but Luffy had no fear at all and charged straight toward them.

This was destined to be a road full of difficulties.

"Don't, don't come over!!! Pops! Pops, save me..."

*Sizzle*~

The silver-white tip of the Raven pierced through the pirate's heart, lifted him up, and then Karl threw him aside Move Move Like trash.

Whitebeard seemed to hear this cry, turned his head to look in Karl's direction, and his pupils shrank to a point.

Because the area around Karl was already filled with the corpses of pirates, including many commander-level pirates.

*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh*~

The ice began to tremble. Whitebeard raised the Murakumogiri and slashed toward Karl's direction with a charged strike.

"Hmm?"

Karl, who was preparing to find his next target, noticed the movement behind him. Haki instantly covered his body, and he raised the Raven to block this earth-shattering strike.

*Crack~~~*

The ice layer shattered.

"Vice Admiral Karl!!!"

The surrounding Navy soldiers rushed over, including T-Bone, who jumped into the ice without hesitation, seemingly to save Karl.

Because Karl was a Devil Fruit user, once he fell into the sea...

*Pfft*~

T-Bone was brought onto the ice by Karl, looking confused.

"Vice Admiral Karl, how did you?"

Karl wiped the seawater off his face and ignored T-Bone, looking straight in Whitebeard's direction.

"Killed quite a few of his sons, looks Move Move Like he's anxious!"

*Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle*~

Karl’s body bloomed with dazzling golden light, emitting astonishing heat, and the Navy soldiers around him were instantly evaporated.

"Elbaf Spear: Sovereignty!!!"

*Swish*~

An astonishing flying slash flew straight toward the Moby Dick. All pirates or Navy soldiers along the way were injured if they touched it. If they happened to be in the path of the Sovereignty sword energy, sorry, whether they were pirates or Navy, they would die without a burial place.

Although Karl didn't want to accidentally injure friendly forces, he would never be timid just because there were Navy soldiers blocking the way.

"What an astonishing flying slash. This kid is just too..."

White light bloomed on Whitebeard's fist, and then he punched toward the Sovereignty sword energy.

*Click, click, click*~ *Bang*~

Accompanied by a loud noise, the Sovereignty sword energy released its final power, blasting a shocking hole in the Moby Dick.

Didn't work? Well.

"This old guy is really hard to deal with!"

*Swish*~

Karl disappeared from the spot instantly, leaving only a golden afterimage.

The next second, Karl appeared in front of Whitebeard and slashed at Whitebeard's neck.

"Want to kill me? Not that easy! Quake!"

*Click, click, click*~

Karl's pupils shrank, and his figure flickered again, dodging Whitebeard's attack with extreme mobility.

"You're really troublesome, Whitebeard. But, no matter how troublesome you are, you're dead today."

"Gurararara~ Shameless boasting. My head is right here; if you have the guts, come and take it!"

*Whoosh, whoosh*~

Karl spun his blade and pointed the Raven straight at Whitebeard: "Don't rush, I'm coming to take it right now!"

On the other side, seeing Karl attack Whitebeard, Sengoku quickly picked up the Den Den Mushi: "Akainu, Aokiji, what are you doing? Karl has already engaged Whitebeard. Hurry up and support him! Kill Whitebeard as soon as possible!"

"Understood!"

"Huang Yuan, you don't need to worry about Whitebeard. Just guard the execution platform."

After an hour and a half of fighting, the situation was becoming more and more favorable to the Navy.

The Warlords were fighting the prisoners who had escaped from Impel Down, such as Ivankov, Crocodile, Jinbe, and the Move Move Like.

Sakazuki, Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan, and Karl took turns consuming Whitebeard's stamina.

The other Navy soldiers were responsible for dealing with the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates.

However, in a few minutes, Sentomaru's support would arrive. That was more than a dozen Pacifistas. A pincer attack would be enough to give the Whitebeard Pirates a headache.

The goal of the Whitebeard Pirates was very clear: break into the execution platform and save Ace. This was the same as Luffy's goal.

But the Navy's goal was not just to execute Ace; otherwise, he would have been dead long ago.

The Navy had only one goal: to completely annihilate the Whitebeard Pirates.

And they were already very close to this goal. As long as Whitebeard died, the others would be scattered soldiers, and they could be easily dealt with.

On the execution platform, Sengoku stared at the entire battlefield with firm eyes, thinking silently in his heart: No matter how you struggle, you cannot shake our advantage.

"Prepare to cut the live broadcast! Once the feed is cut, immediately activate the enclosure walls, and then, along with the execution of Ace, wipe out all the enemies in one fell swoop!"

"Understood!"

Soon, the broadcast from the Navy side was interrupted.

However....

"Hey hey, sorry to keep you waiting...."

The pirate world's first big streamer officially took the stage.
