Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

On the deck, dozens of fully armed elite naval personnel who were preparing to disembark for combat were instantly stunned and immediately pointed their weapons at the uninvited guest.

"So, could you all please come down for a bit? I can borrow this ship for a while," Luffy said with a smile.

"Are you kidding me!"

"Fire! Fire!"

The sailors reacted instantly, roaring as they pulled the triggers.

They are the elite of the navy, with astonishingly fast reaction times.

Boom!

Lead bullets rained down like a storm.

Several rapid-fire cannons mounted on the deck spewed out scorching flames from their muzzles, and the shells whistled as they hurtled toward Luffy.

These naval personnel truly lived up to their reputation as elites who had participated in top-level warfare; they seized the perfect moment to engage in battle.

The shooting accuracy was very high, and the bullets and shells fired were even faintly covered with a layer of Armament Haki.

Clearly, they knew Luffy's abilities and were well aware that ordinary guns and cannons had little effect on him.

"Oh? That's impressive, you can even use Haki now."

A hint of surprise flashed in Luffy's eyes, but his movements did not slow down at all.

His figure flickered and swayed like a ghost amidst the hail of bullets!

"shave!?"

"Unfortunately, that's not the case."

Luffy has mastered the use of Observation Haki to a very high degree.

Bullets grazed the hem of his clothes, and shells exploded behind him, the shockwaves scattering debris on the deck and kicking up a cloud of wood chips and dust, but none of it touched his clothes.

The next second, Luffy's figure appeared as if by teleportation in front of a Marine gunner who was gritting his teeth as he loaded a cannon.

"too slow."

Luffy said, his fist already planted in the opponent's abdomen.

Bang!

The naval gunner's eyes bulged out, his body curled up like a shrimp, the cannonball slipped from his hand, and he was thrown over the ship's side with a scream, as if he had been launched by a catapult, and landed in the crowd on the ice in the distance.

Swish!

Swish!

Luffy's figure darted across the deck at high speed, and with each flash, one or more marines were sent flying and crashing with screams.

His attacks are concise and efficient, without any unnecessary movements. Often, a single punch or kick is enough to render an elite naval officer incapable of fighting.

Avenue to Jane.

The same principle applies to Garp's punches.

"Damn it, don't be so arrogant!" a naval captain roared.

He shouldered a strangely shaped heavy cannon, locked onto Luffy's figure, and fiercely pulled the trigger.

Ok?

Press it!

Can't press it?

A dark, imposing hand firmly grasped the finger that was about to pull the trigger.

"How is that possible!"

The naval captain looked up in astonishment and met Luffy's face, which was inches away from his.

Luffy grinned and tightened his grip slightly.

Click.

A slight cracking sound.

"Aaaaaah!!" the captain screamed as the cannon slipped from his grasp.

Luffy casually took the heavy cannon and, as if swinging a straw, swung it up along with the screaming captain, smashing it violently towards the dense group of marines on the other side of the deck!

Boom!

Human bombs exploded in the crowd, causing chaos and screams.

"Support! Artillery support! Bomb that thing down!!"

Officers on the other warships shouted themselves hoarse.

The side guns of several nearby warships turned around, and the roar of gunfire intertwined to form a deadly net of fire, covering the warship where Luffy was.

Luffy weaved through the gunfire, as if dancing on the edge of a knife.

He would sometimes leap up, using the incoming cannonballs for leverage.

Sometimes he would bend over, letting shells graz his back and blast huge holes in the ship's hold behind him.

"Annoying," Luffy said.

"Fire! Fire!"

The artillery reinforcements shouted.

The roar of artillery fire followed.

Luffy simply tilted his head slightly and easily dodged the cannonball. The cannonball flew behind him and exploded, kicking up debris and dust.

At that moment, Luffy leaped high into the air, his ordinary fist instantly expanding and covered with jet-black Armament Haki. He laughed at the charging Marines and said, "Try my fist too."

Rubber Giant Pistol!

Boom!

The fist, swollen to its limit, slammed into the center of the deck.

The entire massive warship jolted violently upwards, its sturdy, thick oak deck crumbling like a fragile biscuit, radiating outwards from the point of impact.

A terrifying shockwave swept outwards, and the sailors on the deck were thrown into the air like leaves in the autumn wind, screaming as they fell into the sea or onto the distant ice.

A huge hole, more than ten meters in diameter, appeared in the center of the warship, reaching down to the lower decks, and the sea below, frozen in ice, could even be seen through the hole.

This elite warship, which served as one of the frontline strongholds, lost most of its combat capability under this blow.

"Damn, we got carried away."

Luffy scratched his head.

This ship is probably intended for escape.

However, a barrage of artillery fire soon followed, and the navy was determined not to allow its warships to be captured.

"That Garp guy, he really is..."

Sengoku, aboard the distant flagship, watched Luffy wreak havoc on the warship, his teeth clenched and his fists cracking.

Did you hold back?

But he couldn't be more demanding.

He understands Garp better than anyone else.

Was Garp's momentary lapse in concentration due to realizing something?

Whitebeard is here!

"Notice!"

"The Whitebeard Pirates' grand fleet has appeared!"

"Repeated! The Whitebeard Pirates' Grand Fleet has appeared!"

"Everyone, prepare for battle!"

The lookout, his hand trembling, held the Den Den Mushi and announced.

The Warring States period never expected that things would develop in the direction he least wanted to see.

He turned his head sharply and looked at the sea shrouded in thick fog after the Gate of Justice opened.

On the once empty sea, the thick fog seemed to be parted by an invisible giant hand, and one, two, ten, dozens of pirate ships... flying all kinds of skull and crossbones flags, appeared densely in the outer sea area of ​​the Icefield Battlefield, like a ghost fleet emerging from the deep sea.

So fast?

"How did you do that?!"

A naval officer exclaimed in shock.

"Hahaha, it's been coated!"

The golden lion in the sky laughed loudly, seeing through the key point at a glance, "Whitebeard originally wanted to give the Navy a surprise by launching a direct attack on Marineford from the seabed, right? But now, the surprise is happening here, and the effect is about the same!"

Sailing from the seabed coating, traversing the doldrums and naval defenses, and appearing directly in the heart of the battlefield!

What courage and strength this is!

Sengoku looked at the suddenly appearing pirate fleet with a gloomy expression.

"Is it luck or misfortune?" he murmured to himself.

The situation has developed to this point, completely deviating from any of his initial expectations.

Whitebeard's plan was something he hadn't anticipated.

Looking at the large fleet in the distance, Sengoku asked:

"Have you found Whitebeard's location?!"

"not yet!"

The lookout said, "We've only spotted members of Whitebeard's Grand Fleet."

"There are 43 ships in total, and the captain of each ship is a master of the New World!"

"Wandering Knight Dorma! Thunder Lord Makugay! Deckard Brothers! Great Vortex Spider Squard!"
