----------

At the center of the battlefield.

Countless photons gathered, forming a human shape, and soon Kizaru reappeared, with only some minor scrapes on his body.

"He absorbed my light bullets!"

This time, he saw clearly that his light bullets could not penetrate Daichi's body, and after dissipating, they would be absorbed by the opponent and converted into their strength.

Although difficult to understand, one thing he was now clear about was that relying solely on ranged attacks could not defeat Daichi.

"So scary!"

Remarking again, Kizaru brought his hands together, pulling out a shining blade of light from his palms.

"Ama no Murakumo!"

"Hmm?"

Daichi also saw the light sword below.

Damn it!

He looks so shady, but his weapon is explosively cool!

"Changed tactics?"

A thought flashed through Daichi's mind, and his vision suddenly brightened as the incredibly sharp Ama no Murakumo slashed towards his face.

It was Kizaru!

"Clang!"

At the critical moment, Daichi lowered his head, and the Ama no Murakumo slashed across his forehead, leaving a palm-sized gash.

It broke through his defense!

Compared to the previous laser bombardment, the Ama no Murakumo's attack power was clearly higher, or rather, more suitable for pinpoint breakthroughs!

But with his enormous size at the moment, such a shallow wound was merely a scratch, not enough to cause him effective damage.

Daichi swiftly swung his claw upwards, and the sharp claw tip swept past Kizaru, but there was no sensation of hitting a solid body!

He elementalized in advance!

Even with Haki imbued, he couldn't hit an elementalized body, but that didn't mean he had no way!

"!"

His gaping maw opened!

I suck!

A powerful suction instantly enveloped the space within a dozen meters in front of him, even stirring up chaotic air currents!

"Oh no!"

Kizaru felt his body being pulled, especially the elementalized parts, which seemed to melt and flow towards the monster's mouth.

"Yata no Kagami!"

Without hesitation, the light mirror unfolded!

With the refraction of light, Kizaru moved almost instantly to the ground, clutching his waist and kneeling on one knee, blood quickly soaking his palm.

His body had been bitten!

"I really can't be careless for a moment!"

Kizaru looked up at the sky, a huge shadow engulfing him!

It was the monster's stomp!

"Boom!!!"

The earth shook again, and the stirred-up soil spread outwards like giant waves, cleansing the battlefield once more!

Waiting for the earthquake to stop.

Looking around, there wasn't even a single piece of rubble visible in the center of the battlefield; thousands of meters of land had all been leveled—what great foundations!

A cunning glint appeared in Daichi's eyes.

Colluding with the Whitebeard Pirates, deliberately luring the Marines with intelligence, all for the sake of demolishing Hachinosu's buildings under the pretext of fighting an Admiral, and then acquiring the land at a low price.

Heheheh~~

This was his demolition and land-grabbing strategy!

Daichi tilted his head slightly, scanning the execution platform with the corner of his eye. As expected, Drake and the two others had been rescued by the Marines and were fleeing towards the port.

Due to the extensive damage caused by his battle with Kizaru, the pirates were too preoccupied to organize an effective pursuit, which gave the Marines a chance to escape.

Now that the Marines' objective was achieved, retreat became their top priority. Kizaru likely wouldn't drag out the fight with him for too long before retreating.

Roughly speaking, it meant he had repelled Admiral Kizaru, successfully protected the peace of Hachinosu, and added another bargaining chip to his land-grabbing plan.

Everything was going according to his plan.

Heh heh, he was truly wicked!

"Yasakani no Magatama: Clone!"

Countless light points surrounded Daichi, then all transformed into Kizaru, wielding the Ama no Murakumo and slashing at Daichi!

"So many?"

Daichi's head spun wildly, unable to distinguish which one was real, but the intermittent pain from various parts of his body told him that the real Kizaru was frantically hacking at him.

Excellent, demolish some more illegal structures!

"Solar Beam!"

"Rumble!!!"

Hachinosu, port.

Flames spread everywhere.

"Hurry up!"

The Marine officers were in disarray, running frantically towards where their warships were docked. Behind them were dense crowds of pursuing pirates.

"Kill the Marines!"

"Don't let them escape!"

"Block the Marines' retreat!"

The pirates roared!

Though they dared not engage in battle with an Admiral, they showed no fear against ordinary Marine officers.

If the Marines were to escape, it would be a disgrace to the pirates of Hachinosu!

Pirates surged into the port from all directions, quickly forming a pincer movement, surrounding the fleeing Marine squad in the center.

The pirates on Hachinosu were as numerous as the stars, and even a small fraction of them pursuing was a considerable number.

At this moment, only a hundred meters remained to the shore!

"We're finished!"

The Marine officers had fought their way through, already covered in wounds, and their stamina was nearly depleted. Even the last hundred meters seemed impossibly far to them.

Drake and the two others stepped forward, with Kujaku and Grus following behind him, their eyes no longer showing any confusion.

"We'll carve a path!"

"Drake, you'll die!"

The Marine officers roared in anger.

They had sacrificed too much to save Drake and the two others; if Drake died, this mission would be a complete failure.

"This is my justice!"

Drake roared, transforming into an Allosaurus!

The three of them had been severely tortured and were heavily injured, but their comrades had risked death to rescue them. How could they hide in the back?

"30 seconds!"

Drake gasped for breath.

In his current state, 30 seconds was his transformation limit. If they couldn't cut a bloody path within those 30 seconds, they would all die.

"Stay close to me, for justice!"

The Allosaurus roared to the sky and charged fearlessly towards the port. Its massive body instantly became the target of the pirates' concentrated fire.

"Shoot him, kill him!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Waaahhh!!!"

100 meters, 50 meters, 10 meters!

The Allosaurus endured the hail of gunfire, charging forward recklessly. The moment its vision suddenly widened, its taut nerves relaxed, and its massive body fell heavily to the ground, slowly shrinking back into human form.

However, the crisis was not over.

A gigantic whale ship blocked their path!

The Marine officers looked at the tall figure standing on the bow of the ship, their faces instantly drained of color, and their swords clattered to the ground.

The pirates pursuing from behind also stopped at this moment, looking up in awe at that figure.

"Whitebeard" Edward Newgate!

The strongest man in the world has returned!

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Whitebeard, holding his naginata, stepped down from the ship one step at a time. Each time his naginata struck the ground, the sound made the Marine officers' hearts tremble.

Endless despair surged into their hearts!

"Clang!"

However, Whitebeard didn't even glance at them, passing by them and walking towards the interior of the island.

The division commanders following Whitebeard also ignored their presence, or rather, didn't even consider them worthy of their attention.

Watching the Whitebeard Pirates and the pirates depart, the Marine officers remained dazed for a long time, eventually revealing bitter smiles.

"We… are even less than ants!"
