Chapter 311

Boa Hancock frowned when she saw the figure of the demon man Oars.

Recalling her promise with Lin Yu, she pressed her lips with her hand, and a pink heart appeared before her.

Arrow of the Captive!

Boa Hancock pulled on the heart, and a massive pink arrow shot toward Oars' body, petrifying a large portion of it.

Within the alternate dimension.

Lin Yu, who had arranged the plan for everyone and was waiting for the right moment, watched helplessly as the enormous Oars was easily defeated by three of the Seven Warlords, and shook his head in silence.

Then he spoke to the woman beside him:

"See that? No matter how huge your body is, if you haven't mastered Armament Haki, you're just a living target. You must master advanced Armament Haki as soon as possible—do you hear me?"

Elfandra, as a national warrior of the Nine Shedao, had long since mastered Armament Haki, though only at a low level.

Elfandra stuck out her tongue, "I got it."

Hearing Elfandra's reply, Lin Yu smiled and waved her over:

"Come here, I'll feed you something."

Saying this, Lin Yu pulled out a Devil Fruit from his extradimensional storage box.

This Devil Fruit was the Inflate Fruit he had just obtained from the giant warship San Juan Wolf.

In Lin Yu's view, Elfandra stood over three meters tall, had mastered Armament Haki, and possessed a natural talent for immense strength—perfect for consuming the Inflate Fruit.

With the combined boost of the Inflate Fruit and her innate strength, Elfandra only needed to specialize in Armament Haki to gain formidable power.

Once her Armament Haki reached advanced or top-tier levels, her transformed colossal giant form would possess terrifying strength capable of destroying a nation alone.

Hearing Lin Yu's order, Elfandra obediently knelt beside him.

Having already seen Lin Yu feed several others, she naturally knew what came next, and this made her slightly excited.

As a female warrior raised on the warrior-dominated Nine Shedao, she naturally wished to grow stronger.

While Lin Yu within the alternate dimension played his feeding game, waiting with the women for the optimal moment to act,

In the real world, the Ice Witch of the Bai Huzi Pirates led her icebreaker through another bend of the Crescent Bay of Marineford, carving a path for the remaining twenty thousand pirates under Bai Huzi's command.

"Ace~"

Suddenly, a shout echoed from the sky.

Hearing this familiar voice, Ace, Karp, Lin Yu, and others all turned their heads toward the sky.

There, high above, several giant birds were speeding toward the battlefield.

On their backs stood Monkey D. Luffy, Sanji, Crocodile, Emporio Ivankov, Hawkins, Mr. 2, Mr. 3, and a host of escaped convicts from Impel Down.

After escaping Impel Down, Luffy had come to Marineford with the help of the Birdman, but because the giant birds were attacked by Sea Kings in the Calm Belt while flying low, they arrived slightly later than Lin Yu.

Seeing Luffy running toward him, Ace burst into tears and shouted:

"Luffy, this isn't a place for you!"

Hearing Ace's words, Luffy laughed and shouted:

"Ace, wait for me!"

With that, Luffy urged the giant bird beneath him, carrying the group straight toward the execution platform.

"Aim the cannons at those giant birds."

Seeing this sudden turn of events, Admiral Sakazuki glared at Bartholomew Kuma in the distance—if not for his interference, Karp wouldn't be here, and Luffy would already be captured.

Huang Yuan raised his hand, and countless light orbs instantly surged toward the approaching giant birds.

Ma Erke, seeing this, transformed again into the Phoenix and blocked Huang Yuan's attack.

He had once sought Lin Yu's Airship Technology to increase the chances of rescuing Ace; now that Ace's younger brother Luffy had brought these giant birds, he could not let Huang Yuan succeed.

Although Huang Yuan was blocked by Ma Erke, the giant birds beneath Luffy and the others were still intercepted by the Navy's dense cannon defense network, crashing onto the ice of Crescent Bay.

One of them even fell onto the ice patch created earlier by Kizaru and sank into the sea.

Having delivered Luffy and his group and fulfilled his debt, the Birdman guided the giant birds away from the battlefield—he had no desire to join the war between the Navy and Bai Huzi.

"Bai Huzi, it's been a long time."

As soon as he stepped down from the giant bird, Crocodile rushed toward Bai Huzi.

Boom!

Luffy, activating Gear Second, instantly intercepted Crocodile before he could attack Bai Huzi.

Several of Bai Huzi's division captains also charged toward Crocodile to prevent him from continuing his assault on their captain.

Is this kid the one Red-Haired Shanks bet on?

Bai Huzi stared at Monkey D. Luffy beside him, studying the straw hat on his head for a moment, then said:

"This hat suits you well."

Monkey D. Luffy grinned, "This hat was given to me by Shanks. One day, I'll return it to him myself."

"Is that so."

Bai Huzi laughed, "Kid, if you want to rescue Ace, you must be ready to die."

"Of course."

Luffy glanced at Ace on the execution platform, then left Bai Huzi's side to join Sanji, Emporio Ivankov, and the others.

Arriving beside Ivankov, Luffy made his request directly:

"Little Ivankov, do me a favor and give me another dose of hormones."
