Chapter 144 Oz the Demon

The fiery rain formed from magma continuously struck down the pirates on the ground.

Seeing this, the Marines followed Admiral Akainu's attack, increasing their bombardment in preparation to destroy the three ships of the Whitebeard Pirates anchored in the bay.

At that moment, one of the magma fragments shot towards Whitebeard, who casually slashed it down with his sword.

Whitebeard casually swung his hand again, and the lava on his sword was extinguished.

Whitebeard looked at Akainu in the distance.

"Go light the candles on the birthday cake, you little lava imp."

Akainu responded to Whitebeard with a smile.

"Don't you like a lavish funeral, Whitebeard?"

Just as the navy was in high spirits, shouting that they would crush the Moby Dick and defeat Whitebeard in one fell swoop, a sudden storm arose on the calm sea.

Immediately afterwards, a gigantic, astonishing figure slowly rose from the sea and walked step by step toward the Marine Headquarters with heavy but firm steps.

This is a giant!

However, this giant was unlike any other giant race the navy had ever seen before.

Its size was beyond imagination, far exceeding the size of ordinary giants, and even several times larger than those common giants.

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates cheered excitedly as soon as they saw the enormous creature appear.

"It's Oz! Oz is here!"

But in reality, Whitebeard had no original plan to involve Oars in this war.

After all, Oz's enormous body would undoubtedly make him an easy target on the battlefield, making him a prime target for concentrated enemy attacks.

But Oz still chose to come in order to save Ace.

At this moment, Sengoku, standing on the execution platform, looked solemnly at Oz as he approached and said in a deep voice.

"You've really brought a remarkable fellow here!"

Meanwhile, Ace, who was tied to the execution rack, shouted anxiously at Oz.

"Oz, your body will be used as a live target!"

Despite Ace's attempts to dissuade him, Oz paid no heed, his gruff voice booming like thunder across the battlefield.

"Ace, don't worry! I'm here to save you!"

After saying that, Oz continued to stride forward, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly, and he continuously smashed the navy and warships that tried to stop him.

With Oars joining the battle, the Navy Headquarters' first line of defense was breached, allowing the Whitebeard Pirates to enter the bay and accelerate their offensive.

"That idiot Oz, there's just no way to deal with him."

Whitebeard looked at Oars and shouted,

"Oz, being reckless and being a hero are not the same thing."

Oz heard Whitebeard's call and responded.

"Don't stop me, Dad. I'm going to save Ace. I'm going to save Ace as fast as I can."

Whitebeard sighed.

"I see."

Whitebeard then looked at the crew members below the field and shouted to them.

"You guys go help him clean up the mess and cover for Oz."

The Whitebeard Pirates obeyed the order and followed Oars's lead, clearing out the marines beneath Oars's feet and the cannons firing at him.

Oz walked heavily, step by step, toward the execution platform.

With each step, the ground trembled slightly, as if the entire island could feel the oppressive aura emanating from this giant.

Moria, standing at a distance, wore an expression of extreme excitement.

He stared wide-eyed at Oz as he drew closer, secretly plotting how to obtain the enormous creature's corpse.

For him, such a huge and strong body is undoubtedly a priceless treasure. By using the Shadow-Shadow Fruit's power to control it, it will become his most powerful weapon.

At the same time, the bear slowly raised its arms.

Then, the fleshy orbs in his palms began to shimmer with a strange light, and as time went on, a powerful energy was rapidly gathering within them.

In no time, the energy condensed into a giant bubble that looked like a bear's paw.

However, this was not the end. The bear continued to exert force, causing the originally huge bubble to shrink and compress until it became a tiny bubble only the size of a fist.

Immediately afterwards, the bear swung its arm, and the highly compressed bubble shot towards Oz like lightning.

It was so fast that no one had time to react.

With a loud bang, the bubble hit Oz accurately.

In an instant, an extremely terrifying shock burst forth, spreading outwards from Oz as the center.

Those who were nearby were thrown away by the powerful force, as helpless as fallen leaves in a storm.

After being struck, Oz felt as if he had been hit hard, and his body trembled violently.

Countless deep wounds suddenly appeared on his tall body, from which blood gushed out, instantly staining the ground beneath his feet red.

However, even though he was seriously injured, Oz gritted his teeth, endured the excruciating pain, and resolutely walked toward Ace on the execution platform.

Where he walked, he left a shocking trail of blood, as if telling the story of the battle's brutality and cruelty.

However, Oz's enormous size made him a sitting duck, and the shells kept hitting his body.

Oz was already seriously injured by the bear's attack, and now a barrage of artillery fire is hitting his body, causing him to almost lose consciousness.

Oars decided to take at least one Shichibukai with him before he lost consciousness, so he swung his huge arm and smashed it down on Doflamingo in front of the stage.

Doflamingo stood there, a wild and unrestrained smile on his face.

His eyes, full of mockery and confidence, seemed to have already seen through all of Oz's next moves.

Just as Oars's massive fist, as large as a small mountain, came crashing down with a whooshing sound, Doflamingo appeared unusually calm and composed.

With a swift movement, like a light bird, he easily dodged the fierce attack with a simple leap upwards.

Immediately afterwards, Doflamingo drew a graceful arc in the air and swiftly swept behind Oars.

As Doflamingo landed steadily on the ground, he instantly activated the powerful abilities of his String-String Fruit.

In an instant, countless transparent threads gushed forth from his fingertips, wrapping around Oz's thick right leg like nimble venomous snakes.

Doflamingo yanked his hands sharply, and the threads tightened instantly, unleashing a terrifying force.

Oz's right foot was severed by the ground, blood splattering everywhere and staining a large area of ​​the ground red.

Seeing this, Doflamingo became even more smug and laughed heartily, looking up at the sky.

Oz, severely injured, roared in pain, his body swaying precariously as he suddenly lost his balance.

Finally, the behemoth collapsed to its knees on one leg, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Nevertheless, Oz did not give up his determination to save Ace.

Oz stretched out his right hand with difficulty, reaching towards Ace on the execution platform, and shouted.

"Ace! Wait a little longer! Just a little bit more... I'll definitely get you out of here!"

However, at this moment, he was already seriously injured and his movements became extremely slow. It seemed that successfully rescuing Ace had become an unattainable dream.
