Chapter 184 - 184. Fierce Battle

"I am the who told you to go... son."

When Ace heard Whitebeard he clenched his fist and yelled, "That's a lie. You told me not to...

Whitebeard cut him off, "I am the who told you to go! Isn't that right, Marco?"

"Yeah. That's what I heard. I am sorry we put you through so much, Ace."

Marco's gaze turned sharp as he overlooked the marines, "Everyone in this world knows. What will happen to someone who mess with our crewmate!"

"We won't let anyone hurt you, Ace!"

"Just wait there, we are coming!"

"Prepare yourselves, Navy HQ!"

On one side is the Navy HQ, The Seven Warlords, a hundred thousand elite marines and fifty warsh.i.p.s.

On the other side is Whitebeard pirates with 43 allied sh.i.p.s.

"Things seems to have quieted down all of a sudden."

"Are they waiting for Whitebeard's command?"

Some of the marines were wondering why Whitebeard Pirates weren't making a move.

One of the marines who was at the edge of the bay said, "Look, the water level is rising again."

Someone next to him saw something in the distance and used his binoculars to get a clear view. However his face paled when he saw what it was.

"That's!!...

Suddenly the whole island started to shake and rumble.

Garp who was standing beneath the scaffold said solemnly, "It's coming! The seaquake he set up before!"

"Coming in the form of a Tsunami!"

The water crashed against the bay and shook it. The marines standing close to it started to lose their footing.

The sea rumbled and giant water waves rose from it. The whole island was closed off and overshadowed by the sheer size of it.

Sengoku grew serious and said, "Don't think that our superior forces will guarantee us victory. We could all well fail today."

"Because that man has the power to destroy the world!"

Leo watched the gigantic tsunami crash towards them calmly. He was wondering what would happen.

Shing!

Aokiji seated below the scaffold suddenly moved. He flashed into the sky and spread out his arms.

"Ice Age!"

Two spikes of ice extended from his palms and pierced the tsunami.

The water started to freeze. The gigantic tsunami was frozen!

Whitebeard looked at Aokiji with a smirk, "Aokiji, you young squirt."

Aokiji pointed his right arm at Whitebeard.

"Partisan!"

Whitebeard simply knocked a fist in response to the incoming attack.

The ice spears were destroyed.

"Arara."

Aokiji raised his voice. The remaining power from Whitebeard's attack broke his body into pieces.

He fell down to the sea.

However his body quickly reformed itself and started to freeze the sea.

The entire sea surrounding the bay and the whole island was frozen in seconds.

"He froze the bay. Our sh.i.p.s can't move now."

Some of the Whitebeard Pirates spoke.

Seeing Aokiji unharmed by Whitebeard's attack the marines morale was raised.

"Fire! Destroy the Whitebeard pirates!"

"Let's show the marines what we are made of!"

With that the battle started.

Canon fire rang everywhere.

Marines outnumbered Whitebeard pirates but with several commanders at the forefront their advantage was nullified.

Suddenly Mihawk took a step forward. His yellow ringed pupils focused on Whitebeard.

"Ufufu, I thought you would sit this one out."

A voice filled with evil was heard.

Doflamingo looked at Mihawk with interest.

Mihawk didn't turn back and said, "I just want to understand the distance between us and that man who seems to be right in front of us."

He took out his sword, Yoru and swung it down.

Tiing!

The air rang as his sword fell. A long sharp sword ray was shot in Whitebeard's direction.

The ice was cleaved as the sword ray closed in on Whitebeard.

However before it could reach him a man blocked it's path.

Boom! Crack!

The air exploded as the man grabbed the sword ray with his hands. His feet sunk into the ice and cracked it.

Hmph!

He let out a deep scoff and threw both his hands into the air. The sharp sword ray was deflected and thrown into the sky.

"He deflected an attack from the world's strongest swordsman!"

The marines were shocked.

"Diamond Jozu."

Leo knew who this was. The 3rd division commander of Whitebeard Pirates.

He looked at Sengoku who was giving order to the artillery division to fire at the pirates and their sh.i.p.s.

This was effective against normal pirates however the commanders easily dodged them and continued to make their way through the marines.

"Oh boy. The commanders of Whitebeard Pirates are true to their reputation. All of them are monsters."

Kizaru stood up from his seat and walked towards the edge of the stage. He looked in Whitebeard's direction.

"To finish this with minimal damage, we just have to cut off their head nice and quick."

His body glowed and he disappeared into arcs of light.

A portion of the battlefield was suddenly covered in bright lights. The light converged and reformed.

"It's Kizaru!"

Kizaru crossed his arms. Two points of light lit up on his finger tips.

"Yasakani no Magatama."

Innumerable balls of light shot out from his finger tips against Whitebeard.

However before they could make contact Marco rushed out. His body was covered in blue flames as he took everything head on.

"He warded of admiral Kizaru's attack!"

Marco bathing in blue flames smirked, "You can't reach for the king so easily, oi."

Kizaru put on a startled expression, "So fearsome, these Whitebeard Pirates."

The marines were shocked.

"The rumours are true!"

Kizaru spoke calmly, "It's even rarer than a Logia. Zoan type-Mythical Creature."

The marines spoke in shock.

"No matter what kind of attack he receives, his flames will heal them."

"Marco, The Phoenix!"

Kizaru crossed his arms and prepared for the same attack, "I have never seen a bird like that before."

Marco's body was engulfed in flames and took the form of a blue phoenix.

He rushed against Kizaru's attack and took them all head on.

In a flash he reached Kizaru. Doing a flip his legs turned back to normal and slammed down.

Boom!

Kizaru was blasted back. He crashed into the plaza.

"I can't believe it! He kicked away admiral Kizaru!"

Bright light shone from where Kizaru fell, the light blinked and Kizaru took form.

"This won't be easy."

Marco and Kizaru stared off against each other.

"You guys move away!"

Jozu jumped up and smashed his fist into the ice. Cracks ran along where he smashed.

Grabbing the edge Jozu put strength to his arms and threw his arms up.

"Stop this if you can!"
