Chapter 317

Inside the alternate space of the Mera Mera no Mi.

"Lin Yu, what do we do now?"

Smoker frowned as he watched Bai Huzi's actions.

Now that Bai Huzi had gained the flying ability of the giant bird and restored his body to its peak condition, he was no longer within their reach.

"What to do? Just wait patiently."

Lin Yu laughed and pointed toward Reiju and the others who were carrying out the arrests.

"Look, Reiju and the others have already captured several targets while their attention was diverted."

"Since we can't target Bai Huzi for now, let's shift our focus to others."

At the spot Lin Yu's finger pointed to.

Reiju, Luo Bin, and Sona were attacking the Ice Witch of the Whitebeard Pirates, whom they had quietly dragged into the alternate space moments earlier while the enemy's attention was scattered.

As an original member of the Whitebeard Pirates who had never eaten a Devil Fruit, the Ice Witch was naturally one of Lin Yu's capture targets.

Although he didn't know whether the Ice Witch would submit to him after he killed Bai Huzi and the others, Lin Yu no longer cared—he'd capture her first.

"Let's go, we'll look for a chance to ambush Ma Erke."

Lin Yu stood up from his seat and led Smoker and Runti toward Ma Erke and Huang Yuan's position.

He had originally planned to wait until Ma Erke was restrained by Kuma's Seastone attack before striking, but since the plot had changed, he'd have to act himself.

His two main goals for joining the War of the Summit were only two: Bai Huzi's Gura Gura no Mi, and naturally, Ma Erke's Mythical Zoan: Phoenix no Mi.

The rest—he'd take them if he could, and if not, it didn't matter.

After all, once he grew stronger in the future, he'd have plenty of chances to reclaim them.

Halfway there, Lin Yu pulled out a small Den Den Mushi and called Miquita, preparing to tell her and Sara to hide for a while.

With Bai Huzi and Zhanguo about to clash, Miquita and Sara staying near the execution platform would likely face mortal danger.

After all, both Bai Huzi and Zhanguo possessed Haoshoku Haki, and even their casual attacks caused massive area damage—any residual shockwave would be beyond Miquita and Sara's capacity to withstand.

However.

Before Lin Yu could dial the call, the battle between Bai Huzi and Zhanguo had already begun.

In the real world.

Bai Huzi rode the giant bird to the front of the execution platform, gripped the empty air with both hands, and activated the Gura Gura no Mi.

The next instant, Marineford trembled violently again; countless buildings collapsed, the ground cracked and spilled open, and the sea boiled and surged upward.

The execution platform where Ace, Zhanguo, and Karp were standing began to shake violently and rapidly crumbled.

"No good!" As his footing vanished, Zhanguo instantly realized what Bai Huzi intended—he slammed his palm toward Ace, preparing to execute him himself.

But Bai Huzi had anticipated this; he gripped his naginata with both hands, swung it backward, and slashed forward with full force.

Gura Gura: Whale Tail!
