Chapter 143 The War Begins

Just then, the numerous fleets under the Whitebeard Pirates, like surging waves, came to a steady stop on the ice.

Accompanied by bursts of rousing shouts and footsteps, countless pirates surged ashore like a tide, quickly joining the fierce battle with the Navy.

In an instant, the entire square descended into chaos, with shouts of battle echoing through the sky.

Large numbers of pirates clashed with the navy in close combat, their swords flashing and the air thick with the stench of blood.

Ace stared wide-eyed at the horrific scene below, his face filled with shock and a mix of emotions.

Ace watched as countless people fought desperately before him, and all of this was because of him.

On the other side, Sengoku watched the pirates' fearless and unwavering figures with a solemn expression, and coldly snorted:

"These incredibly stupid guys actually dared to openly choose to break through head-on; they're practically courting death."

Having said that, he immediately grabbed the Den Den Mushi (snail phone) beside him and calmly gave the order.

"Artillery units, listen up! Aim at those enemy ships and the endless stream of pirates that are charging up. We absolutely cannot let them easily set foot on our square. At the same time, the soldiers on the front lines must do everything they can to stop their advance."

Meanwhile, Kizaru, who had been leisurely sitting in his chair watching the battle, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Kizaru slowly stood up, squinted, and thoughtfully surveyed the group of fearless pirates on the battlefield, muttering to himself.

"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of the Whitebeard Pirates, each and every one of them is as strong as a monster. If we want to minimize our losses, the only way is to capture the leader first..."

Before he finished speaking, his body instantly transformed into a dazzling yellow flash, leaping high into the air at an astonishing speed.

The pirates, who were engaged in fierce battle, suddenly noticed a bright light coming from above and looked up.

When they realized that the yellow flash was none other than Admiral Kizaru, gasps of surprise erupted from all sides.

"Oh no, it's Kizaru! Everyone be careful!"

At that moment, Kizaru's gaze was fixed on the white-bearded man.

His hands flashed with dazzling light, and powerful flashes of light rapidly gathered in his hands like a surging torrent.

Immediately afterwards, this terrifying power transformed into countless sharp beams of light, shooting straight toward Whitebeard at an astonishing speed.

Despite the fierce attack, Whitebeard remained remarkably calm and composed.

The white-bearded man narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered something under his breath.

"Hey, hey, hey, this light is too bright!"

At that critical moment, a blue figure shot out from behind the white-bearded man like lightning, bravely charging towards the deadly light waves that were rushing towards him.

This person is none other than Marco, the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.

In an instant, Marco's arms transformed into a pair of enormous wings woven from blue flames, and he soared into the air as if reborn from the ashes like a phoenix.

Marco flapped his wings, which were burning with raging flames, and fearlessly met Kizaru's incomparably powerful light wave attack.

All of Kizaru's attacks were blocked in mid-air.

Marco stared sharply at Kizaru ahead and shouted loudly.

"What? You think you can attack our king right after just one exchange? You're underestimating us."

After he finished speaking, the many naval soldiers below the stage were all stunned by what they saw.

They could hardly believe their eyes; the powerful attack of a dignified admiral from the Navy Headquarters had been so easily blocked.

Kizaru simply said it calmly.

"How terrifying, the Whitebeard Pirates."

Marco was then enveloped in blue flames, transforming into a phoenix and charging towards Kizaru.

Kizaru calmly watched Marco attack and said...

"I've never seen such a peculiar bird before."

Before he finished speaking, Kizaru fired a series of dazzling laser beams at Marco in front of him.

Surprisingly, these seemingly powerful lasers easily passed through the blue flames burning on Marco's body, as if the flames were just an illusory barrier.

Immediately afterwards, Marco quickly closed in on Kizaru and launched a powerful kick at him.

Seeing this, Kizaru calmly stretched out a hand and casually blocked the attack.

But Marco didn't stop there; he increased the force of his kick and kicked again.

At this moment, Kizaru seemed to have lost interest in continuing to resist, and simply chose to give up his defense, letting Marco's attack send him flying.

Affected by this powerful impact, Kizaru was propelled towards the ground like a cannonball.

Just when everyone thought he would suffer a serious injury, Kizaru suddenly burst into a bright light, instantly transforming into a dazzling flash of light.

The next moment, he stood firmly on the ground again, completely unharmed.

Brushing off non-existent dust from his body, Kizaru looked up at the battle situation in the sky and muttered to himself.

"It seems that defeating Whitebeard won't be an easy task."

It was clear that Kizaru already had a plan in mind for this fierce battle—he only wanted to get through it and had no intention of going all out.

At this moment, Jozu, the captain of the third division of the Whitebeard Pirates, pulled an enormous block of ice from the ground with both hands. This block of ice was like an iceberg, shimmering with a cold and piercing light.

Joz's eyes widened in fury, and he let out a roar.

"Suffer to death!"

Immediately afterwards, he used all his strength to violently pull up the huge block of ice and slammed it down on Akainu below the execution platform with tremendous force.

At that moment, Akainu was sitting in a chair, completely unconcerned about Jozu's sudden attack.

However, Akainu's face showed a hint of annoyance.

Akainu stood up angrily and shouted.

"Honestly, you guys are abandoning your posts. If we all attack, who will defend this place?"

Before he finished speaking, a stream of scorching magma erupted from Akainu's hand like a volcanic eruption.

In an instant, the entire space seemed to be ignited, with raging flames burning endlessly.

Without hesitation, Akainu threw a punch, and the magma instantly condensed into an enormous fist, which charged toward the ice block coming from the air with a world-destroying momentum.

A deafening roar followed.

The enormous fist formed by magma collided violently with the ice, bursting forth with dazzling sparks and billowing smoke.

The powerful impact caused the ice to vanish without a trace in an instant.

However, this fierce collision did not end there.

The fist formed by magma did not disintegrate.

Instead, due to inertia, the fist scattered in the air, turning into a terrifying rain of lava and fire, pouring down on the pirates below.
