Chapter 313

Hearing Sister Tina's teasing, Miquita blushed, others burst into laughter, and Marianu quietly glanced at her own small frame, pressing her lips together.

She actually wished to possess such developed pectoral muscles...

Once Miquita and Sara finished, and Marianu began altering everyone's appearances with rainbow colors, Sister Tina led the others toward the execution platform.

Her mission was to serve as Lin Yu's liaison, responsible for communicating between Navy Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Boa Hancock.

And to ensure Miquita and Sara replaced the executioners, guaranteeing the execution of Fire Fist Ace would not be interrupted.

Miquita and Sara's primary task was to personally execute Fire Fist Ace on the execution platform if necessary.

On the other side.

Reiju, Robin, Nami, Nojiko, and Smog were grouped together by Lin Yu as the Capture Team.

They were specifically responsible for helping Lin Yu capture target individuals or pirates possessing Devil Fruits, dragging them into the alternate space for hunting.

Meanwhile, Lin Yu waited with Smoothie and Pudding, ready to strike at any moment; once Bai Huzi was injured, they would hunt Bai Huzi, Marco, or Jozu the Diamond.

The others, whose strength was not particularly impressive—Makino, Vivi, Koala, and so on—remained entirely on the Ark Verdict within the alternate space, quietly watching this epochal battle unfold before them.

After Luffy of the Straw Hats and the others rushed toward the battlefield.

Lin Yu saw the Great Whirlpool Spider Squard approach Bai Huzi; seeing this situation, the corners of his mouth curled upward.

"The filial sword is coming."

Indeed, after conversing with Bai Huzi for a while, Squard drew his long sword and thrust it straight through Bai Huzi's abdomen.

This scene shocked everyone on the battlefield.

Even Smoothie and Pudding, who were staying beside Lin Yu inside the alternate space, wore expressions of utter astonishment.

Then, both looked at Lin Yu simultaneously, thinking: How did he know this in advance again?

Having pierced Bai Huzi with a single thrust, Squard looked at him and shouted:

"Bai Huzi, end this farce immediately."

Previously, Navy Admiral Akainu had found Squard and told him that Bai Huzi intended to trade the lives of all Bai Huzi Pirates members for Ace; having seen countless pirate comrades die, Squard, who bore a blood feud with Ace, naturally believed these words.

"Damn it, Squard, what exactly are you doing!"

"Father!!!"

Upon seeing Bai Huzi pierced through, the Bai Huzi Pirates immediately rushed forward.

"Squard, what exactly are you doing?"

Bai Huzi raised his left hand, glaring at Squard before him and roaring: "To turn weapons against your own father—you are truly a foolish son."

Just as everyone thought Bai Huzi would kill Squard, he instead pulled the other into his embrace.

"Baka-mi (Idiot), even if you are so foolish, you are still my son." Holding Squard, Bai Huzi spoke thus.

"Squard, although I do not know who deceived you, regardless, both you and Ace are my most beloved sons."

Having finished speaking, Bai Huzi released Squard, pulled the long sword from his body, stepped forward, and forcefully hammered both fists into the void.

Boom!

The space shattered, and the two giant waves frozen beside Ma Linfu instantly broke apart.

Then, Bai Huzi rushed forward, roaring: "To dare say I betrayed my own son—I will absolutely not forgive you."

"Roar!!!"

Seeing their father set out, the morale of the Bai Huzi Pirates instantly soared.

Seeing Bai Huzi's movement, Sengoku shouted into the Den Den Mushi:

"Everyone be careful! The world's strongest man is attacking!"

Bai Huzi leaped from the Moby Dick, shouting:

"Ikkoso! (Let's go!)"

Landing on the ice, Bai Huzi casually dealt with the incoming attacks, then grabbed the void with both hands, activating the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

In the next instant, Ma Linfu shook with earth and mountains; countless houses collapsed, the ground cracked and splintered, and the sea boiled and rose.

Even within the alternate space where Lin Yu was located, the terrain was drastically altered due to the destruction of the real world's geography.

Seeing the terrain destroyed by Bai Huzi's single strike, and seeing the endless Navy and pirates falling, Koby, stationed at the rear of the battlefield, gasped for air, his heart filled with terror.

"My strength is simply insufficient; I don't want to die here..."

Moving his trembling body, Koby slowly turned around and fled toward the town behind the battlefield.

Seeing Koby's movement, Bellemere immediately chased after him.

"Hey, Koby, what are you doing? Don't leave me behind!"
