Chapter 245

Under Akainu's horrified gaze, the shockwave directly shattered his massive magma fist!

The right arm that had been severed by Luo En's sword earlier and replaced with magma was once again completely shattered by this trembling force!

Under the impact of the trembling force's eruption, Akainu's entire body flew backward, then crashed heavily onto the ground.

His abdomen pierced through by the Hellhound, his injuries aggravated by his earlier all-out burst, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, Bai Huzi looked down at Akainu collapsed on the ground ahead, a crimson glint of killing intent flashing through his eyes.

"Don't… get… in the way."

Akainu's pupils jolted violently.

In that instant, he truly felt the chill of death and… fear emanating from Bai Huzi.

Bai Huzi's killing-intent gaze shifted away from him, looking toward the execution platform in the distance, as he once again raised the naginata Yondaime in both hands, vibration waves condensing along the blade.

A terrifying, horrifying aura erupted skyward from his body, a gale raging all around.

"A…ce!"

212, The Strength of the Calamity of the Sky (combined chapter)

"Looks like we've thoroughly pissed him off."

Vice Admiral Tsuru crossed her arms, watching the fully-erupted Bai Huzi in the distance as she spoke.

"Hmph, how long can a body like his even hold up?"

Sengoku narrowed his eyes, turned his head to the two executioners: "Ignore him. Carry out the execution immediately."

"Yes, sir!"

The two executioners raised their long blades, about to bring them down on Ace.

"Ace!"

Luffy, entangled by the Marines, shouted anxiously.

"Dammit!"

Sabo was also completely unable to stay calm. His Armament-Haki-hardened Dragon Claw Fist unleashed at full force, blasting away the Marines attacking from all sides with tremendous power.

Jinbe, Ivankov, and Zoro and Sanji behind them were also going all out.

But no matter how desperately they broke through, there was still nearly a hundred meters between them and that execution platform.

"Bastard! How much longer are you going to block me?!"

Ma Erke roared furiously at the Fujitora before him.

Fujitora faced his roar without sorrow or anger, merely gripping his cane-sword and holding it horizontally before him.

'Diamond' Jozu, after breaking free from Aokiji's ice, was entangled once again by Moria and his zombie army, unable to free himself for the moment.

Flower-Sword Vista was caught up with Kizaru.

The other captains of the Whitebeard Pirates were likewise caught in battle, unable to break free, and still a great distance from the encirclement wall.

"Ace!"

Bai Huzi's eyes gleamed crimson, the muscles in both arms bulging, as a blade carrying powerful vibration waves slashed toward the encirclement wall!

A tremor-blade light the size of a house flew from his blade.

It flew across the frozen inner sea battlefield, flew over the towering encirclement wall.

Under the horrified gaze of countless Marines, it detonated in the air above the plaza not far from the execution platform.

A terrifying trembling force spread outward!

The earth shook and the mountains trembled!

The entire plaza and execution platform were quaking violently, the ground swaying,

The plaza floor, the execution platform, the high platform behind the execution platform, and the encirclement wall surrounding the entire inner sea—all instantly split open with countless cracks.

Those two executioners were also affected by this trembling force, their entire bodies swaying uncontrollably, forced to halt their blade-swinging motions.

The Marine elites in front of Luffy's group were battered into disarray by the shockwave, dizzy and disoriented.

"Now's our chance!"

Jinbe's eyes lit up.

Sabo didn't hesitate for a moment, blasting open the Vice Admiral ahead with a Dragon Claw Fist, then grabbed Luffy, stamped his foot, and leaped high into the air.

To vault over this group of obstructive Marines in one go.

"Don't even think it!"

A Marine Rear Admiral skilled in the Six Powers used Soru to appear in the air ahead of them, throwing a fist down at them.

"Shark Tile Straight Fist!"

Jinbe launched a powerful straight fist, the tremendous shockwave blasting that Marine Rear Admiral away.

"I absolutely won't let you stop them!"

Ivankov said, stamping his foot and charging into the Marine ranks ahead.

"New Human-Kick Martial Arts, Secret Beauty Technique…"

"Laser Healing Fist!"

His body spun through the air, a storm of attacks blasting every Marine around him away.

"Three-Sword Style, Three Thousand Worlds!"

"Hell, Hellfire Leg!"

Zoro and Sanji also charged into the Marines, desperately blocking those trying to strike the two.

Under the cover of Jinbe, Ivankov, and the others, Sabo carried Luffy past those Marines and arrived beneath the execution platform.

Blocking their path were only three people.

Garp, Green Bull, and Momousagi.

"Grandpa."

"Mr. Garp."

"I'm truly impressed you managed to get here."

Garp's expression was somewhat complicated as he gazed at the two before him: "Sabo, and… Luffy."

"However…"

Garp clenched his fist, stared at the two, and said in a low voice: "It ends here. Don't expect me to let the two of you pass."

Sabo and Luffy exchanged a glance, then nodded firmly.

Standing shoulder to shoulder, the two looked at Garp ahead, took up fighting stances, and said with full fighting spirit: "Even if it's Mr. Garp (Grandpa), don't even think about stopping us from saving Ace!"

Ace on the execution platform looked down at the two below, his eyes slightly moist, an indescribable feeling stirring in his heart.

"Luffy, Sabo…"

……

Luffy and Sabo had already fought their way to the base of the execution platform, facing Garp head-on.

Yet Luo En was still on the frozen sea beneath the encirclement wall, holding the Blood Blade Moon, strolling leisurely forward.

Neither the Marines nor the pirates dared approach him.

In this densely packed battlefield, it was as if a moving circle had appeared.

Not far behind him.

Hawk Eyes Mihawk swung out a sword.

The heavy Black Blade Night collided with the Wado Ichimonji held in Kuina's hands!

The frozen sea beneath the two of them suddenly sank, then cracked open with countless fissures that kept spreading outward.

The dark-green slash and the golden sword qi kept clashing, annihilating, and splashing.

A thin wound was sliced across Kuina's face by the sword qi; a flash of struggle and strain crossed her eyes.

In contrast, Hawk Eyes Mihawk appeared composed and unhurried.

After that sword strike.

Kuina did not launch another attack against Hawk Eyes.

She had already more or less seen the gap between them.

"Although as a woman your strength is naturally inferior to a man's, your speed and explosive power are rare in this world."

Hawk Eyes Mihawk, holding the Black Blade Night, looked at Kuina and spoke: "If you keep walking down this path, one day you too will reach that position."

After saying that.

Hawk Eyes turned and left.
