Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 400: Opportunity to Break the Game

Oh no, we can't avoid it!

Akainu's pupils contracted; Whitebeard had already sensed his punch.

If he had dodged at that moment, he could have barely avoided a vital point, but instead he did not dodge at all, and instead fiercely gathered his strength.

Trade injury for injury!

The right fist, carrying terrifying power, first shattered Akainu's hastily gathered Haki, and then the fist from above directly pressed Akainu to the ground.

His head was deformed by the powerful force of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit; if it weren't for the flowing Armament Haki continuously forming an invisible defensive layer, he would have been in danger.

Whitebeard's punch could even blow Akainu's head off!

Li Xia, who had watched the whole thing from a distance, clicked his tongue.

The biggest difference between the One Piece world and other derivative worlds is that the people here are quite fleshy.

Battles at the admiral level can last for several days, because the presence of Armament Haki makes the strong here quite interested in tempering their bodies.

If Whitebeard's punch had landed on the head of another fourth-tier character from another derivative world, it would have been an instant kill.

But Akainu stubbornly endured it, even though his eyes were rolling back and a lot of blood was gushing from his mouth and nose.

But the swaying body was forcibly stopped by an iron will.

And instinctively, he raised his fist, gathering the power of the 'Magma-Magma Fruit' to counterattack.

"Boss, Little Cat said this battlefield is too different from the original story, and it's in complete chaos now."

Li Xia casually deflected the incoming swords and blades, and his Observation Haki, condensed to its maximum, formed a sphere approximately ten meters in diameter around his body.

Inside that sphere, he was like an omniscient god.

"Yes, that's inevitable. It's a chain reaction caused by Whitebeard's condition. Even the original Little Oars didn't appear."

As usual, continue contracting.

Li Xia's gaze swept across the battlefield. Despite the bustling activity, the battlefield felt eerily desolate.

Because there are no 'kinds'.

The absence of the Apostles turned what should have been the climax of the entire derivative world into a one-man show.

How many people entered this derivative world?

Several hundred!
Previously, they collected hundreds of thousands of Hall Points in tolls on Enies Lobby. Excluding those who died or were not strong enough, there should be at least twenty or thirty Tier 3 Apostles qualified to come to Marineford to experience the battlefield.

"I just tried it out, and the drop rate of treasure chests is extremely low. I only get one light blue treasure chest after killing ten or so ordinary pirates."

The longsword in Li Xia's hand was as ethereal as a cloud, seemingly powerless, yet all weapons that attacked him crumbled upon contact.

In the end, he simply let go of the longsword, letting the Murakumo sword circle around his body like a swimming dragon.

"So we don't need to risk our lives for that little blue box. We can just hide ourselves and wait for the battlefield to unfold."

Our target is Blackbeard!

"okay!"

"Meow!"

"Ace! I'm here to save you!"

Wearing a yellow jacket, Luffy completely ignored the chaotic battlefield around him and shouted with all his might.

Bucky, standing beside him, watched him in despair, frantically tugging at his ear:

"What are you doing? You're drawing all our attention away from us!"

Ace, kneeling on the execution platform, had already blurred his vision with tears, and he could no longer maintain his previous silence.

He roared back with equal fervor:
"Luffy, you idiot, get out of here!"

Luffy shook off Buggy and ran headlong toward the execution platform.

"I don't care, I will definitely get you out!"

The nearby navy sneered. This kid in front of them?
Don't be ashamed!

They swarmed around him simultaneously, grinning maliciously, as if they were about to slice Luffy into mincemeat. Sengoku's voice rang out at that opportune moment:
"Don't let this kid in the yellow shirt get away, Straw Hat Luffy! This man also has the potential to harm the world in the future!"
He is Ace's sworn brother and the son of Dragon, the Commander-in-Chief of the Revolutionary Army!

This is all I can do, Garp! This is out of consideration for our years of friendship!
The surrounding navy personnel were taken aback for a moment, but their eyes immediately cleared.

Ace's execution was a world-shaking event, and the things involved left everyone speechless.

Rumors such as Ace being the adopted grandson of naval hero Garp and his son being the leader of the Revolutionary Army spread rapidly within the Navy, fueled by those with ulterior motives.

As veteran naval officers, they naturally understood that official announcements were sometimes unreliable, while rapidly spreading rumors were often the most accurate.

Furthermore, Garp's recent setbacks and despondency could not be hidden from everyone.

Therefore, almost all the naval personnel who came to Marineford to participate in the battle knew this information.

So the person in the yellow jacket in front of us is Lieutenant General Garp's grandson?
The swords and blades, which originally exuded a powerful aura, also began to drift to the side, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Some even pretended not to see Luffy and simply let him pass.

Kizaru and Aokiji exchanged a subtle glance, and in the end, Aokiji let out a soft breath and silently charged forward.

His hands were wreathed in a chilling aura, as if he wanted to freeze Luffy and send him far away.

"sandstorm!"

Amidst swirling yellow sand and tornado-like dust, Crocodile, his lower body reduced to sand, blocked Aokiji's path with a gloomy gaze.

"Protect what you want to protect with your life, Straw Hat brat!"

"Thanks!"

Luffy held down his straw hat and walked past the two of them.

But beams of light pierced through space in an instant, 'precisely' hitting all the gaps in Luffy's movements, passing by him with a control so precise it was almost imperceptible.

"How terrifying. Is this a supernova? They avoided them all!"

Kizaru slowly lowered his finger and said with a 'melancholy' expression.

Li Xia:
Just now, that single move, the Yasakani no Magatama, intercepted all the fireballs fired by Akainu's Great Flame Burst, and it was with such precision, achieved through high-speed movement and the concealment of smoke.

But they couldn't hit Luffy, who was that big.

This is harder than hitting Luffy!

Akainu, who was being beaten by Whitebeard, raised his bloodied head and roared:
"Kizaru!"

Looking at Akainu, who was already quite injured, Kizaru remained silent for a while before finally letting out a soft sigh.

In an instant, it vanished in a flash of light and reappeared in front of Luffy, its raised right foot radiating a blinding light.

Then—this light-speed kick, capable of shattering a mountain, delivered Luffy with incredible precision right in front of Whitebeard.

Akainu:
"Lulalalalala"

Whitebeard reached out and caught Luffy, who was the same size as a figurine, and turned his head slightly to look at him:
"Interesting. Kid, you want to save Ace too?"

"Of course, Ace—"

Luffy struggled and roared:
"Ace is my brother!"

Whitebeard laughed again. With his shrewdness, how could he not see how much the Navy had held back against this kid?

Even the two admirals, Aokiji and Kizaru, were like this.

Whitebeard placed Luffy on the ground, brandishing his naginata and creating gusts of wind.

His eyes were filled with unwavering determination; the opportunity to break the deadlock had arrived!
"My lords!!!"

The white-bearded man's naginata pointed at the execution platform:

"Protect Straw Hat Luffy with all your might and head to the execution platform!"
