The sight of dozens of Kuma entering the battlefield and surrounding the Whitebeard Pirates and their allies from all sides left readers around the world in utter shock.This was expressed through numerous posts almost every second on the global forum.
No one expected the Marine's preparations to allow clones of Bartholomew Kuma to enter the war.
In Ohara, readers held their breath in anticipation of more shocks due to the fluctuations in the situation at Marineford.
"That scoundrel Sentomaru again! Ugh, how I hate him!"
"I also hate that arrogant fatso!"
"An army of Bartholomew Kuma! Oh my god! How are the Whitebeard Pirates supposed to win such a war!"
"They're crushing the pirates left and right like a pack of wolves entering a sheep pen!"
…
"This is what human weapons should be like... the Pacifistas!"
Dr. Vegapunk's tongue kept spinning constantly, indicating his excitement at this moment while seeing one result of his multiple inventions and wanting to see more of them!
"Will it be easy for you to replicate what your counterpart did, Vegapunk-yo?" Clover asked while wiping his glasses and putting them back on.
"Creating such powerful robots isn't difficult; what's challenging is finding a suitable model like Bartholomew Kuma's body, who is a distinct race," explained Vegapunk.
"A distinct race? Well, that's somewhat clear..."
Clover nodded in understanding.
"Seeing you sitting here with us makes it hard for me to imagine your counterpart as an evil person, even though he seems that way from what he's done so far," Saul said with a sad expression.
"Evil person? Well… What my counterpart did can be explained logically; the World Government provides me with the necessary resources for my scientific research, and in return, I develop technology that benefits them..."
"That's exactly what I've been doing since joining them, even choosing Rob's side over theirs... In the manga world, there's no Rob, so my counterpart still works for the World Government even though I bet he doesn't like it."
After hearing Vegapunk's clarification, Saul, Brook, Clover, Homing, Issho, and the others understood completely.
"Anyway, I wonder how the Whitebeard Pirates will respond to this move. Fufufu~"
Doflamingo laughed enthusiastically.

Chapter's Events:
—————————
"All troops, move away from the ice immediately!"
"The pirates must not be allowed to reach the square!" exclaimed Sengoku.
…
"Hurry!"
"Charge them down, Pacifista!" ordered Sentomaru.
…
"To hell with you!"
A certain pirate fired a bazooka at the Pacifista in his face.
The smoke cleared to reveal the intact face of the Pacifista, which then opened its mouth and unleashed a deadly laser attack.
"AAAGHHH!"
…
At Sabaody Archipelago, spectators heard the screams of pirates being bombarded by the Pacifista.
"What's going on!? It's like they're not even human!"
"Are they immortal!?"
Suddenly, the broadcast was cut from two screens, leaving only one working screen in the middle.
"AHH!"
"The visuals…!"
…
"As soon as all visuals have been cut, mobilize the encircling wall! Then we can execute Ace and eliminate the enemy in one fell swoop!" ordered Sengoku.
"Roger that!"
"…"
Hearing that, Ace felt emptiness and sadness.
…
"Haa… Ace is in danger! I've gotta hurry!"
Luffy tried to accelerate more, but at that moment, he was kicked hard in the face, sending him flying backward.
"It's high time you went back to square one~" spoke Kizaru slowly, as usual. He was the one who kicked Luffy.
"Luffy-kun!" Jimbei intercepted Luffy's flight path and caught him carefully.
"Guehh… Haa…!! Jimbei!!"
"The admiral came after me… Dammit…!!"
"He may be powerful, but we must hurry nonetheless!"
"No matter how formidable the enemies who appear to stand in our path… we were fully prepared for as much when we made the decision to come to this place!!"
•———•———•———•———•
Marigoa, In the Domain of the Gods:
Inside the Art Store, the Celestial Dragons were currently in a state of extreme frustration.
"I feel deeply sorry for Luffy... He's being brutally beaten here and there..."
"These cursed admirals!"
"Kizaru has gone way too far! I haven't forgotten how he caused immense harm to my Nami-san and my Robin-chan at Sabaody Archipelago! And now, once again, he kicks Luffy with such extreme violence!? Unforgivable!"
"Despicable! This is despicable! He just wants to save his brother! What wrong has he done to deserve such harsh treatment!?"
"Contact Admiral Kizaru to come here! I want to kick him!"
"Calm down, Saint Francois... Admiral Kizaru is currently unavailable..."
Paa!
One of the Celestial Dragon guards tried to calm him down but received a hard slap across his face.
"Is your place here to express your opinion, you insect!?"
"Come here! Take this damn guard away from me and call Admiral Kizaru immediately."
"Understood, sir..."
Of course, the guard who was slapped felt no pain on his face, but he turned around and left without being dragged out.
…
Seeing this, Saint Figarland shook his head mockingly, as did the rest of the Holy Knights.
"When did these fools start leaning towards the side of good!?"
"I don't know..."
"Forget it, let them do as they please, it doesn't matter anyway."
…
Baterilla Island:
"That wicked villain, Sengoku..."
At that moment, Roger strongly wished to be part of this war to show Sengoku that neither plans nor wisdom are useful against absolute power.
At that time, Sengoku would have no choice but to descend from the platform and personally participate in the war.
"Ace..."
Rouge felt heaviness in her heart upon seeing the lifeless expression on Ace's face in the manga.
"Don't worry, my dear, Luffy won't allow anything bad to happen to Ace. I'm sure of it—Bft...!!"
Before Roger could finish his words, he coughed from the drink he had just taken a sip of.
And the reason, the scene he just saw in the manga with its hero...
"Buggy...?"
"What is this fool doing...? Wahahaha—!!!"
Just a moment ago, both Roger and Rouge were somber after seeing Ace's condition and Luffy being attacked by Kizaru.
But after Buggy appeared, stealing one of the Den Den Mushi of visual broadcasts, both Roger and Rouge were nearly choked by the sudden laughter forced upon them by Buggy.
"Hahaha!!!"
"Wahaha! What is he doing!?"
"He stole the Den Den Mushi visual broadcast!"
"Wahahaha! Seeing how this made Sengoku extremely mad soothes a bit of my annoyance."
