Chapter 478

Karl smiled and patted T-Bone on the shoulder, then turned 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 capable commanders like Marco and Jozu.

"Kid, this straw hat looks a lot like the one Red-Haired wore before..."

"Ah! Uncle, do you know Shanks? He let me keep this."

Bai Huzi couldn't help but recall what Shanks had told him not long ago, and he looked at Luffy deeply.

"Are you here to save your brother?"

"That's right!"

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

Luffy raised his head, looked at Bai Huzi, 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, Bai Huzi laughed instead of getting angry: "Gurararara~ Arrogant enough. If you dare to hold us back, I won't spare you, snot-nosed kid!"

"Hmph! I'll do it according to my own ideas! I'll be the one to save Ace!!!"

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

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

This was destined to be a road filled with difficulties.

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

Hiss~

The silver-white blade tip of Raven pierced the pirate's heart, lifted him up, and then Karl tossed him aside like trash.

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

Because the ground around Karl was already covered with the corpses of pirates, including commander-level pirates.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

The ice surface began to tremble. Bai Huzi raised the Murakumogiri and slashed toward Karl's direction with a charged attack.

"Hmm?"

Karl, who was about to find his next target, sensed the movement behind him. Haki instantly covered his body, and he raised Raven to block this world-destroying blow.

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, ignored T-Bone, and looked straight toward Bai Huzi.

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

Hiss, hiss, hiss~

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

"Elbaf Spear: Conqueror!!!"

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 Conqueror sword aura, 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 Bai Huzi's fist, and then he punched toward the Conqueror sword aura.

Click, click, click~ Bang~

Accompanied by a loud noise, the Conqueror sword aura released its final power, blowing a shocking hole in the Moby Dick.

Didn't work? Fine.

"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 Bai Huzi and slashed at Bai Huzi's neck.

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

Click, click, click~

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

"You're really troublesome, Bai Huzi. However, no matter how troublesome you are, you're dead today."

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

Whoosh, whoosh~

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

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

"Understood!"

"Kizaru, you don't need to worry about Bai Huzi. Just stay at the execution platform."

After an hour and a half of fighting, the battle 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 like.

Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Karl took turns consuming Bai Huzi's stamina.

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

However, in a few more minutes, Sentomaru's support would arrive. That was a full dozen Pacifistas; with attacks from the front and back, it would be enough for the Bai Huzi Pirates to handle.

The goal of the Bai Huzi Pirates was very clear: break through to the execution platform and save Ace. This was the same as Luffy's.

But the Navy's goal was not as simple as executing Ace. Otherwise, he would have been dead long ago.

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

And they were already very close to this goal. As long as Bai Huzi 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 interrupt the live broadcast! Once the image is interrupted, immediately activate the Encirclement Wall, and then, together with Ace's execution, wipe out all enemies!"

"Understood!"

Soon, the live broadcast on the Navy's side was interrupted.

However....

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

The first big streamer in the pirate world officially appeared. ===== CHAPTER 480 =====
