"I'm here to end this war!"
As these words reverberated across the ceaseless battlefield, everyone was momentarily stunned. Their gazes turned towards the source of the sound, where a group of individuals stood beneath the golden platform.
A burst of commotion swept through the entire battlefield.
"Who are they? Why are they wearing prison uniforms!? Could they have escaped from Impel Down?"
"That can't be possible. Impel Down... Wait, is that Crocodile? And the current Warlord of the Sea, Jinbe! Damn it! Are they here to support us or disrupt our plans?"
"No, it can't be! Look, that's Monkey D. Luffy, one of the Supernovas! And the King of Kamabakka Kingdom, Ivankov! They can't be with the Marines!"
"What's going on? Some of them look familiar!"
...
Both the Marines and the pirates turned their attention to Moby Dick at that moment. Even Whitebeard, engrossed in his fierce battle with Akainu, couldn't help but be astonished as he looked towards the Moby Dick.
Upon seeing the familiar figures standing at the bow, Whitebeard couldn't help but gasp. He suddenly felt as if he were being assaulted by memories from the past. Am I dead? Am I already in hell?
But soon, Whitebeard regained his composure and exclaimed in shock,
"Gabban? Bullet? Redfield? are you guys really here? Am I in the afterlife?"
"What?!"
Upon hearing the names from Whitebeard's mouth, whether it was Akainu not far away, Sengoku on the execution platform, or Garp below the platform, their eyes widened in disbelief as they looked towards the Moby Dick.
"Are you kidding me?" Sengoku's face turned pale upon seeing the people standing on the sand platform.
Garp, initially picking his nose absentmindedly, immediately placed his hands on his forehead and his eyes, nose, and tongue burst out as he screamed,
"Luffy!"
"Luffy!"
Like Garp, Ace, who knelt on the execution platform, was also taken aback when he saw Luffy.
"Hey, is this a joke?"
After the collision, Aokiji and Jozu both moved back, and Aokiji broke out in a cold sweat upon spotting the people on the Moby Dick.
"The situation is not looking good now."
Kizaru, appearing in front of the Admiral's seat with a flash, stared at the Moby Dick and pursed his lips as he spoke solemnly,
"How did these monsters escape? It's truly terrifying!"
On the other side, Hawkeye, who had been sitting leisurely in his Warlord of the Sea position with his legs crossed, suddenly stood up. His sharp eyes fixed on the man on the sand platform, and he muttered,
"This seems unlikely..."
"Hey, Mihawk, what do you mean?" Doflamingo immediately noticed something amiss with Hawkeye.
"See for yourself, that man on the sand platform." After Hawkeye finished speaking, he fell silent. Doflamingo turned his head to look, and at first, he was momentarily stunned. Then he took a few more glances.
"Fufufufu..."
Afterwards, Doflamingo placed his hand on his forehead and chuckled softly.
"Are you kidding me? Am I mistaken? Why is it them?"
"What are you two talking about? Can you explain it to me?" The empress, dressed in a purple dress, leaned against the giant snake, frowning as she stared at the two.
Beep beep...
Meanwhile, the red light in Bartholomew Kuma's eyes flickered, and he uttered words that shocked everyone.
"Pirate Buggy the Clown, with a bounty of 15 million Berries."
"What?!"
"What?! Kuma, are you joking?"
After hearing Bartholomew Kuma's words, the Gekko Moria and Empress Boa Hancock looked at him in shock, then turned their heads to gaze at the man on the sand platform.
At that moment, they couldn't believe what they were seeing. However, compared to the suspicion, shock, and bewilderment of others, Akainu's side was more direct.
Upon seeing the group of people in Moby Dick, although his face showed shock, he snorted coldly, raised his hands, and pointed at the person, shouting,
"Fake! Let's see who you are! Great Eruption!"
Gululu...
In the next moment, Akainu's hands transformed into magma, and he spewed out huge magma fists, shooting towards the Moby Dick from a distance of over ten meters.
Witnessing this scene, both the pirates and the Marines held a glimmer of anticipation.
They wanted to see the strength of these individuals. Garp, Sengoku, Aokiji, and Kizaru also stared at the group of people, hoping to confirm their identities and determine if they were the individuals they remembered.
Boom boom boom!
Akainu's Great Eruption fists descended from the sky a few seconds later, precisely striking the Moby Dick.
If the individuals on the ship did nothing, they would be entirely engulfed by the magma in a matter of moments.
"Hmph! Noisy!"
In the next instant, a cold snort echoed, and the man casually leaning on the high-backed chair on the sand platform emitted a soft snort. He casually tossed out more than a dozen white beams of light, each no larger than an adult's arm.
Zizizi...
In the next second, these white light beams accurately intercepted each descending magma fist of the Great Eruption.
"All Crush!"
Bang bang bang...
The gigantic magma fists, more than ten meters in size, burst into countless little pieces.
Hush...
Then, they solidified and rapidly reformed, hovering tens of meters above Moby Dick. Meanwhile, the man held a cigar lit by a small piece of magma in one hand and casually waved the other.
Swish swish swish...
In the next moment, to the horror of everyone watching, the dozen or so reconstituted magma fists soared backwards, hurtling towards Akainu.
Witnessing this scene, Akainu's expression twisted in horror, and he couldn't hold back his scream any longer.
"No, how is this possible? It can't be! It's impossible!"
