One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chen Ye walked step by step.

Multiple pairs of eyes were fixed on him from afar.

There was shock, fear, and even a sense of covetousness.

In Chenye's eyes, there was only one goal from beginning to end.

The monster, pinned to the spot by the golden beam of light, was still howling in agony.

In the distance, Im, who had just narrowly escaped a fatal blow, had a terrifyingly gloomy face as he possessed Satan Saint.

His inhuman eyes were fixed on Chen Ye.

An invisible and intangible probing force, originating from the deepest darkness of the world, transformed into a boundless giant net, silently pressing down on Chen Ye.

He wanted to know who it was, and whether this familiar yet powerful strength was a backup plan left by his old acquaintance!

But as soon as the giant net got within three feet of Chen Ye, it was as if it had hit an invisible wall constructed by laws of a higher dimension.

Im's will not only failed to penetrate in the slightest, but was instead attacked by a powerful force.

The silent, stinging pain reached Im himself, who was thousands of miles away.

Nika's power?

What made Im's heart sink even more was that the dark essence he had injected into Lox's body to control his mind and twist his body was now trembling violently.

The energy emanating from Chen Ye is purifying his power.

Just as Im was filled with doubt and uncertainty, Chen Ye had already walked up to the demon Rocks.

He ignored the claws that could tear steel apart, and the ferocious roar, and raised his left hand.

Only a soft, white-gold light shone from his palm.

The light is not dazzling, but it contains the power of light.

The entire audience was focused on it.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone present, the hand gently pressed against the forehead of the demon Lox, which was covered with eerie black runes.

"Purify".

Two words came from under Chen Ye's mask.

The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly penetrated into the ears of everyone on the battlefield.

The words fell.

The hideous black bone spurs on the demon Locust's body were visibly receding and dissolving.

His fangs, powerful enough to crush diamond, rapidly shortened.

The indestructible black shell covering its entire body also turned into wisps of black smoke and evaporated completely in the platinum light.

The madness and chaos in those beastly eyes, once filled with scarlet and savagery, quickly faded, and a trace of human clarity and pain re-emerged.

Rocks's figure shrank dramatically, transforming from a monster over three meters tall back into the arrogant and unruly Rocks.

"You dare—!!!"

The furious roar, reaching its peak, did not originate from Lox, but from Im in the distance.

He was utterly enraged.

If his previous dodges were out of caution, then at this moment, he has been provoked.

The chain of absolute dominance between him and Lox, constructed with dark energy, is being forcibly broken inch by inch by a force that is the opposite of his own.

His own "work" is getting out of control!

This is blasphemy against him.

"Stop him!"

Saint Satan, possessed by Im, turned to look at the Five Elders and Saint Garin, who had just climbed out of the deep pit, covered in blood and with weakened aura.

The voice was icy cold and devoid of any emotion, yet it carried an unquestionable, supreme decree.

Stop him at all costs!

Upon receiving the order, the Five Elders and the others trembled violently.

Compared to the terror of the mysterious man before them, the command from Im was the absolute fear that they could not resist deep in their souls.

"Yes, Lord Im!"

They could only drag their severely injured bodies, which they had barely managed to recover from thanks to their immortality, and launched an attack from all directions on Chen Ye, who was concentrating on casting a spell!

The killing intent surged forth like a raging tide!

However, at this critical moment...

"Gurarararar... Don't even think about it!!!"

A powerful and domineering roar, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, exploded in everyone's ears.

The white-bearded man, who had been watching the situation closely, made a move.

A powerful roar rang out! The white-bearded man, who had been closely monitoring the situation, made his move!

He saw with his own eyes that Rocks was returning to normal and immediately deduced that the mysterious masked man was saving people, not an enemy!

This masked young man is clearly saving someone.

And it's our side's.

Then, his burly body stomped forward, and the naginata in his hand, "Murakumogiri," wrapped in a pale white aura that could shatter everything, slammed heavily into the ground!

"Breaking through the air!"

Snap! Snap!

The earth cracked in response.

A pure, solid white shockwave, like a giant wall rising from the ground, instantly blocked the path of one of the Five Elders.

The attack of one of the Five Elders crashed into the shockwave wall, unleashing a deafening roar, but was abruptly stopped and could not advance any further.

"Hahaha! You want to mess with him? Did you even ask me?!"

Shiki the Golden Lion's maniacal laughter followed immediately.

He wasn't doing this to save Rocks, but because the scene of the world's top experts joining forces to fight against "god" was just too much to his liking.

Shiki the Golden Lion let out his signature maniacal laughter. Ignoring his wounds, he drew his famous swords "Sakura Ju" and "Kokuro" with both hands. Golden sword energy crisscrossed, like a net covering the sky, and headed towards the seemingly crazed Korin!

"Woohoohoohoohoohoo!"

The young Kaido also let out a deafening roar.

Although he is young, his inherent fighting spirit and respect for the strong have already taken shape.

He wielded his massive spiked club, bringing with him devastating wind pressure, and charged head-on at another of the Five Elders.

But then, the most unbelievable thing happened.

On Chen Ye's left and right flanks, at the last two, and most lethal, attack angles, two figures moved almost simultaneously.

Gol D. Roger.

Monkey D. Karp.

One is the future Pirate King, and the other is the future Marine Hero.

One is a pirate, the other is a marine.

These two arch-enemies, who had fought tooth and nail every time they met for the past decade or so, surprisingly displayed an unbelievable tacit understanding at this moment.

Roger moved with ghostly speed, his "Ace" sword drawing a crimson-gold arc to block a thrust from one of the Five Elders.

Garp's iron fist was even more direct. His fist, wrapped in ultimate Armament Haki, collided with the last of the Five Elders' attacks like a black meteorite!

Boom! Boom!

Two loud bangs, and the final two attacks were perfectly intercepted.

The battlefield situation changed dramatically in just a few seconds.

Chen Ye kept his hand on Lox's forehead, concentrating on performing the sacred purification ritual.

Around him, a "human wall" of legends from the future has already taken shape.

Whitebeard.

Golden Lion.

Kaido.

Roger.

Karp.

These monsters, who will shake the world in the future, these former enemies, rivals, and nemesis, have now joined forces without warning to firmly protect Chen Ye and Rocks in the center.

Feeling the immense pressure emanating from the other side, Whitebeard looked at Chen Ye and spoke in a deep voice.

"Kid, I'm counting on you to take care of that bastard, Rocks!"
