VMM!

The terrifying earthquake energy of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit formed a transparent white cloud of pure vibrational force, coiling around Whitebeard's right fist.

And surrounding it—was another horrifyingly violent, tyrannical power!

CRACKLE! BOOM!

Crimson-black lightning roared furiously through the atmosphere!

Whitebeard's pupils, at this moment, had turned completely crimson-black.

BAAAAAAAANG!

Whitebeard's right fist slammed heavily into Akainu's abdomen.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Incomparably violent energy erupted at that moment, centered on Akainu's body.

WHOOSH! CRACK!

The very atmosphere above Marine Headquarters, Marineford, shattered like a mirror under this horrifying force.

The next moment—

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

A violent tremor exploded outwards, plunging the entirety of Marineford into a frightening earthquake. The ground couldn't withstand this terrifying quake, shattering like a spiderweb as the terrain began to warp and shift violently.

The atmosphere itself now shuddered intensely, horrifying vibrations spreading through the air, radiating across all of Marineford.

BAAAAAAAAANG!

The iconic main building of Marine Headquarters, Marineford, could no longer withstand such a horrifying earthquake and airquake. Giant, spiderweb-like fissures cracked across its surface, and under the shifting terrain—it began to sink.

The entirety of Marineford began to sink beneath the sea level.

The World's Strongest Man, Whitebeard's true power—

SPURT!

Countless sprays of blood erupted from Akainu's mouth.

At this moment, Akainu was completely immobilized, able only to let his body fall into the shattered abyss below.

Struck directly by Whitebeard's full-power attack combining Haōshoku Coating and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit—even Akainu, whose physique was among the absolute top tier on these seas, couldn't withstand it for a moment, only able to slide agonizingly towards the abyss below.

"Damn it... Whitebeard!" Akainu snarled, his face filled with unwillingness, but he couldn't move.

"ADMIRAL AKAINU!" Seeing Akainu fall into the abyss, countless Marines screamed in terror.

<><><><><><><><>

"Hah... Hah..." Looking at the falling Akainu, Whitebeard's face showed no joy, only a grim expression.

Is this... my limit now??

Even after being reinvigorated by that brat Sky Sovereign's Conqueror's Haki blast, reawakening his dried-up spirit—the Haōshoku Coating he could muster was only at this level??

After that single blow, his body even stiffened, preventing him from pursuing Akainu.

Whitebeard felt no joy at this battle result...

Akainu was a Magma-Magma Fruit user—even falling into an abyss, he could use his Devil Fruit ability to create a magma space deep underground. His stamina and injuries could recover in that subterranean space.

This was hardly a decisive blow.

If his body could still move, he would have pursued Akainu to the death. Unfortunately, he couldn't do that now—but forcing a combatant of Akainu's level to temporarily retreat, plus inflicting heavy casualties on the Marine forces—was a decent result.

<><><><><><><><>

"Damn it! Whitebeard!" Sengoku's face was incredibly grim.

This old relic... So severely wounded—yet still capable of displaying such power!

Sengoku clearly understood just how terrible Whitebeard's physical condition was. It was no exaggeration to say this man's body was completely overdrawn. He was fighting purely on willpower—

—A normal person whose bodily functions had deteriorated to this extent would already be dead—yet this man could still unleash power capable of heavily wounding a combatant of Akainu's level!

'An undying monster!' Sengoku cursed inwardly.

"IMMEDIATELY! FIND NEW EXECUTIONERS!" Sengoku instantly issued the order. The execution absolutely could not be stopped!

The war had reached this point—the Navy's losses were already immense.

If they failed to execute Fire Fist Ace, continuing this war of attrition would lead to losses even Sengoku couldn't accept.

<><><><><><><><>

"SONS! FOLLOW ME! CHARGE THE EXECUTION PLATFORM!" Whitebeard roared, raising Murakumogiri.

After a moment's respite, though he could no longer use Haōshoku Coating, the stiffness in his body had recovered.

Relying on his Tremor-Tremor Fruit and some Armament Haki, as long as his body didn't deteriorate further—Whitebeard was still a powerful combatant who could decide the course of the war.

"OOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Marco and the other commanders began to gather.

The 43 captains of the Whitebeard Pirates' allied crews assembled.

Rowen's world-shaking roar of Conqueror's Haki had knocked out many of the Vice Admirals who had been blocking these captains—

—And with Whitebeard's full-power earthquake and airquake—the Navy's formation was completely shattered. The path to the execution platform was now faintly open!

Now, they just needed to charge forward with all their might!

<><><><><><><><>

"WE'RE GOING TOO!" Zoro and Sanji put away their Transponder Snails.

They had already received Rowen's orders.

Follow behind Whitebeard and charge the execution platform!

"Let's go, Vivi," Nami yelled to Vivi, swinging her Sorcery Clima-Tact and knocking down a Marine soldier.

"Leave it to me! Sandstorm——!" Vivi roared, a terrifying sandstorm forming in her hand, instantly sweeping up the Marine soldiers blocking their path amidst screams of terror.

The power of a Logia was immense in war!

Though Zoro and Sanji could also defeat these numerous soldiers, it would consume too much stamina and Haki.

But a Logia, as a disaster-level power, could eliminate the obstructing soldiers with minimal stamina cost.

<><><><><><><><>

"Captain! What do we do??" Bepo asked Law fearfully.

"We go too. From the moment this war began, we had no way out! Besides..." Law's expression was incredibly complex.

His greatest enemy, Doflamingo was dead.

So easily—at the hands of Sky Sovereign Rowen.

His great revenge had been achieved!

At this moment, Law no longer felt any resentment or anger towards Rowen for turning them into pawns, only profound gratitude—Arriving at this battlefield, Law finally understood the vast gap between himself and the absolute top-tier powerhouses of this sea.

Though Doflamingo was dead... the other Warlords' terrifying strength had shocked the world.

Doflamingo only seemed weak before Sky Sovereign Rowen, before Law, he was still an insurmountable mountain—If he had relied solely on himself, who knew how long it would have taken to get his revenge!

Cora-san... Doflamingo is dead! Your spirit in heaven should be able to rest a little more peacefully now.

Law exhaled a puff of air. He was not one to not repay a debt of gratitude—otherwise, he wouldn't have sworn to kill the Warlord Doflamingo for his past great kindness.

As a pirate, there were some things one had to uphold and follow through on.

"FORWARD! CHARGE THE EXECUTION PLATFORM! ROOM——!" Law activated his Op-Op Fruit ability, a sphere of light appearing around his hand.

<><><><><><><><>

"Full of fighting spirit, are we, Trafalgar Law? You want to join Sky Sovereign Rowen's Grand Fleet too??" Capone Bege exhaled a puff of smoke, glancing at Law.

"Hm?" Law frowned, looking at Capone Bege.

"Whitebeard is dying. As the Surgeon of Death, you shouldn't be unaware of that," Capone Bege stated slowly.

"So what?" Law, as an excellent doctor, naturally knew Whitebeard's physical condition was beyond medical help.

"With one Emperor dead, who on these seas is qualified to replace Whitebeard? Besides that man, who else?"

Capone Bege didn't even want to look directly at that man now...

The earlier Conqueror's Haki storm had drastically changed the mindset of these Supernovas.

"Rowen! Besides that man, who else deserves 'that' title?" Capone Bege's forehead was beaded with sweat.

Regardless of this war's outcome, a new 'Strongest' was destined to be born.

"You want to join Rowen's Grand Fleet?" Law frowned.

The world said the six Supernova crews were now under Rowen's command, but in reality, they were just pawns captured by Rowen and casually thrown onto this battlefield... To become a subordinate of a man of that level, even an allied pirate crew—was no easy feat.

"I know what you mean. I'm not qualified yet, right? That's why I need to achieve sufficient battle results in this war," Capone Bege exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Whitebeard is dying, a new era is coming. To survive in the New World, you either challenge an Emperor, or you submit to one. Only after truly experiencing this war can one understand what an Emperor of the sea truly is." Capone Bege's expression was grim.

As long as he achieved sufficient battle results in this war, he could use it as a tribute to become one of Sky Sovereign Rowen's subordinate pirate crews—

<><><><><><><><>

Law didn't find it strange.

"You think only I want to join? The Hawkins Pirates are also sharpening their blades," Capone Bege gestured with his eyes.

Law glanced over.

Sure enough, that perpetually mystic-muttering Hawkins now had an astonishing killing intent in his eyes. He had already unleashed his Devil Fruit ability, becoming a giant scarecrow.

Clearly, the reason this man who constantly divined with his Devil Fruit was fighting so desperately—was also because he wanted to join Sky Sovereign Rowen's command, to become one of his subordinate pirate crews.

"Why me?" Law asked directly.

"That Hawkins guy is always muttering about divination; I can't figure out what he's thinking. That little girl Bonney seems to have some connection to Sky Sovereign Rowen. The other two I don't care for. If we two cooperate, our chances of joining Sky Sovereign Rowen's command are much greater—" Capone Bege didn't hide his thoughts.

To form an alliance, a necessary degree of honesty was required.

"Unlike the established Four Emperors, Sky Sovereign's command has no real subordinate pirate crews yet—THERE'S NO BETTER OPPORTUNITY THAN NOW!" Capone Bege's eyes shone with ambition.

"A new era is coming.... Only by getting close to the center of this era can we survive in the new age!" Capone Bege looked at Law, his expression incredibly serious.

"Don't hesitate—Dragging your feet like this, how can you achieve anything great! Having personally experienced this war, don't you understand yet?? This era... WILL BEAR THE NAME OF SKY SOVEREIGN!" Capone Bege roared lowly at the unresponsive Law.

"Hah... Alright. A temporary cooperation," Law exhaled a puff of air.

With Doflamingo killed, he had temporarily lost his goal and was somewhat lost. His ambition to become a Warlord was only a stepping stone to killing Doflamingo.

In this case, joining Sky Sovereign Rowen's command might really be the best choice.

"Excellent!" Capone Bege smiled.

<><><><><><><><>

BANG!

Rayleigh roared, forcing Kizaru back.

Kizaru transformed into a flash of light, reappearing below the execution platform.

"Fleet Admiral, the situation is not looking good..." Kizaru said, looking at the pirates now gathering and launching an attack on the execution platform.

Rayleigh had also gathered near Whitebeard.

The pirates, with Rayleigh and Whitebeard as their core, were charging frantically towards the execution platform.

The Whitebeard Pirate Division Commanders, the allied pirate crew captains, the Straw Hat Pirates' commanders, and those Supernova captains were all among them.

And Akainu was temporarily out of the fight due to his injuries.

The Warlords were also contracting their defensive lines.

Worse still, Sky Sovereign Rowen's stamina was almost recovered.

"The final battle... IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!" Sengoku looked at the frantically charging pirates, a terrifying crimson-black light flashing in his eyes.
