While the Three Admirals were busy with his pops, Marco seized this opportunity to fly as fast as he could toward the execution platform by transforming into his Beast Form.
Marco knew that the key to this battle was not to kill as many Marines as possible but to save Ace. Saving Ace was their winning condition.
Although the three Admirals had no time to spare for Marco, there was still someone who guarded the execution platform.
He was the Marine Hero, Garp.
Even though he was just a Vice Admiral, he was more than qualified to be an Admiral, but he simply refused the promotion.
Garp had raised Ace and witnessed his growth. He had always regarded the mischievous boy as his own grandson.
However, Garp was still determined to guard the execution platform. Garp jumped and punched Marco before he reached the execution platform.
The power of this punch directly sent Marco flying from the edge of the execution platform to the ice in the inner bay, creating a big hole.
At this moment, Garp was in pain. Although the one who was punched was Marco, he was even more in pain than him. He personally eliminated Ace's chance to be saved.
That was because he had to. It was his responsibility as the Marine hero, and it was also because of the justice he believed in. No matter how much he suffered, Garp would still do it.
Had Ace become a Marine as he told him to, he could've protected Ace openly. And anyone that messed with Ace would have to answer to his iron fist first.
However, Ace ended up becoming a pirate, the Marine's enemy.
Back at the bottom of the execution platform, Garp just sat in the middle seat where Akainu previously sat. He wanted to guard the execution platform in the three Admirals' stead.
The rest of the Marines didn't think that there was anything wrong with Garp sitting there. After all, even the three Admirals didn't complain.
Rumble!!
Suddenly, a loud voice sounded, and a huge figure with a gigantic sword appeared, attracting the attention of the pirates and the Marines.
"So... so big!" Someone who saw the huge figure could not help but exclaim in shock.
An average Giant was already big enough as they were more than ten meters tall, but that figure was actually several times larger than an average Giant.
That person was the captain of the Little Pirates, Little Oars Jr..
The appearance of Little Oars Jr. shocked the Marines.
When Moria saw Little Oars Jr., his eyes lit up, and he shouted, " I will definitely be able to create the strongest zombie with that guy!"
Seeing such a massive giant on the enemy's side, Marines' giants couldn't sit still. They moved together and began to join the battlefield.
Seeing Little Oars Jr. walk toward a Marine warship, the Marine officers constantly ordered their men to fire their cannons at Little Oars Jr..
Rumble!!
The gunfire of the warships kept hitting Little Oars Jr., but it did not stop him.
"Ace, I will immediately save you." Little Oars Jr. said determinedly.
" Oars, don't come! Your huge body will make an easy target!" Ace shouted from the top of his lungs, trying to persuade Little Oars Jr. to back off.
Little Oars Jr.'s gigantic body, which usually gave him an edge in most battles actually put him at a disadvantage in his battle.
Giant Race's huge body gave them tremendous strength but made it harder for them to dodge attacks.
In this situation where thousands of people could bombard one target at the same time, even Little Oars Jr. would have a hard time, even though he had a tough body, especially with so many cannons in Marineford.
This was also the reason why the Marines didn't send out the giant army first, as they might have been wiped out right away.
Instead of deterring Little Oars Jr., Ace's words boosted his morale.
Ace was such a gentle person, and Little Oars Jr. would never let him die like this!
Little Oars Jr. ignored the Marines that attacked him on the warship and grabbed one of the Marines' warships that was frozen in the sea. Then he smashed it with all his strength into the wall of the port.
Rumble!!!!
A large number of Marines were smashed into the wall because of the impact.
"Hahaha, Oars paved the path for us. Go!"
Seeing this scene, the pirates in the outer bay became excited.
"Charge! Let's go and save Ace!"
The pirates roared and rushed into the inner bay and regrouped with Whitebeard Pirates.
At this moment, the Marines defending the port had a hard time containing the pirates' momentum. They were forced to retreat to the square and reformed the defense line.
The loud noise in the outer bay also drew Nagasawa's attention, who was confronting the three Admirals.
He knew from the plot why the Marines would retreat so quickly, and it was not because they couldn't contain the pirates any longer. It was all to lure all the pirates into the square and then surround them with an army of Pacifista.
Moreover, Akainu's Meteor Volcano was a large-scale attack that would be devastating in a concentrated area.
Nagasawa asked someone to bring a Den Den Mushi and then used the Den Mushi to inform the Captains of his subordinate Pirates.
"No need to rush into the bay. Deal with all the Marine warships outside first!" Nagasawa said.
Although the Captains didn't know why their pops gave such an order, they obeyed their pops' orders regardless.
Soon, the pirates outside stopped their advance and began to attack the Marine warship on the outside.
At this time, Little Oars. Jr. had already rushed into Crescent Moon Bay. A giant Vice Admiral rushed to stop Little Oars Jr..
But in front of Little Oars Jr.'s huge body, the Marine giant was like a child, completely powerless before Little Oars Jr.'s attack.
The giant Vice-Admiral was severely injured by Little Oars Jr. and fell to the ground.
"Vice Admiral Lacroix!" The female Marine giant in the distance shouted in worry as she saw her boss fell to the ground.
Then the Marine giant squad rushed to Little Oars Jr. together.
However, what could a child do to an adult? What could a few more children change? In mere minutes, he sent all the Marine giants charging at him flying.
As Little Oars Jr. walked past Moby Dick, Nagasawa said, "Oars, recklessness is not the same as courage. Don't rush."
Little Oars Jr. did not stop as he looked at Nagasawa and said, "Don't stop me, pops! I want to save Ace as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Little Oars Jr. walked even faster toward the execution platform. He wanted to run, but his huge body made it hard for him.
"What a stupid son." Nagasawa clenched Murakumogiri tightly and smiled helplessly.
"But, a stupid son is a son." Nagasawa directly jumped down from the Moby dick and rushed up with Murakumogiri.
If he did not step in now, Little Little Oars Jr. would be surrounded and killed.
There were a large number of Marine soldiers, including the five Shichibukai, and the three Admirals here, and with such a strong lineup, Little Little Oars Jr. might die as soon as he stepped into the square.
The reason why Whitebeard didn't also rush to the square in the manga was because of his health issue, and his timing to make a move was crucial.
On the other hand, Nagasawa didn't have this concern. He didn't inherit Whitebeard's health issue. Not to mention that he had Senju Clan's strong physique, so he was actually in top shape.
What he had to consider was preserving his strength in case he was surrounded by many skilled combatants. Besides, after saving Ace, he still had to kill Blackbeard.
The moment Nagasawa made his move, Kisaru followed him from the air. His hands emitted a dazzling golden light.
"If I kill you, this war will be over!" Kizaru said arrogantly.
"Comma Jewel of Eight Shaku!"
Bang bang bang!!!
Countless torrents of deadly light particles bombarded Nagasawa.
"It's a little blinding, li'l Kizaru." Nagasawa leaped up and threw a punch at the incoming golden lights.
Crack! Crack!
All the light particles shattered and dissipated into the air as if it was never there.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The impact of Nagasawa's punch also produced a powerful shock wave that attacked Kizaru.
The shock wave passed through his body, leaving a big hole in his chest, but his body returned to normal right away because of his Devil Fruit's ability.
"Oh, so scary, I almost died." Kisaru was talking while observing Whitebeard, looking for the next opportunity to attack.
When Kisaru attacked, Akainu also made his move, but the Division Captains didn't let him get anywhere near their pops. In an instant, five Division Captains engaged Akainu and stopped him in his tracks.
Aokiji was also being observed closely by other Division Captains. If Aokiji made any move, they would immediately intercept Aokiji.
With Whitebeard personally charging in, two Admirals had to step in, and because of that, Little Oars Jr. could make his way to the square. The battlefield grew even more chaotic.
A new round of confrontation began for both pirates and the Marines!
