One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

At Marine Headquarters, Whitebeard, due to the Navy's divisive tactics, begins to go on a rampage on the battlefield, facing off against Akainu.

Meanwhile, Luffy, under the cover of the pirates, was sprinting towards the execution platform.

After he jumped off the wall, he kept rushing forward.

One by one, the naval soldiers along the way were knocked away by him, but more and more naval soldiers kept pouring in.

However, Luffy discovered something—the resistance in front of him was much less than he had imagined.

Whenever a powerful admiral-level naval officer tries to stop him, an "accident" always happens.

A naval vice admiral drew his sword and charged at him, but halfway there, a shadow suddenly grabbed his ankle, causing him to fall flat on his face on the ice.

Another naval admiral attempted to flank from the side, but before he could even make a move, he was struck in the shoulder by a pink arrow and turned into a stone statue.

Another commodore, brandishing seastone handcuffs, lunged at Luffy.

As a result, he was thrown dozens of meters away by a water column that came from the side, and he tumbled seven or eight times in the air.

Luffy didn't have time to think much, he just focused on charging forward.

Behind him, Marco transformed into a phoenix and swept across the sky.

Blue flame wings unfolded above Luffy's head, blocking several cannonballs fired at him.

"Straw Hat Boy!"

Marco did a somersault in the air. "Dad said—we'll cover you!"

Vista charged in from the side, his twin swords crossed to block a Marine Vice Admiral's slash, and without turning his head, shouted to Luffy, "Run! Leave this to us!"

Jozu's body turned half diamond, and he used his shoulder to knock away a whole row of Marine soldiers who were trying to stop Luffy.

Luffy gritted his teeth, compressed his legs to the limit, and launched the Gum-Gum Rocket.

His body bounced rapidly on the ice, each landing creating a dent.

He slipped through the gaps between the pirates and the navy, burst through the gunfire and smoke, and swept past countless fallen figures.

Finally, Luffy rushed to the bottom of the execution platform.

He looked up at the towering execution platform. Ace knelt on the cold ground, bound tightly by seastone chains.

Ace had his head down, so his expression was obscured, but Luffy could see that his shoulders were trembling.

"Ace—!!!"

Luffy's shout made Ace suddenly raise his head.

The brothers' eyes met in mid-air.

One was on the execution platform, and the other was below it.

Separated by a height of tens of meters, by the blades of two executioners, by tens of thousands of navy personnel and a dense array of swords.

But they can see each other's eyes.

Luffy took a deep breath and compressed his legs again—

But just as he was about to jump up, a streak of blue flame swooped down from the sky.

Marco bypassed Luffy and charged straight toward the execution platform.

With its blue flame wings fully extended, it trailed two brilliant tail flames in the air, and its whole body shot upwards like a blue meteor.

"Ace—!!!"

Marco's hand was already outstretched, his fingertips less than three meters from the edge of the execution platform.

At this critical moment, a figure suddenly leaped up from the execution platform.

Garp's right fist was covered in jet-black Armament Haki, and the fist left a black afterimage in the air.

His face was expressionless, but something was shimmering in his eyes.

"I am—a Vice Admiral!!!"

The iron fist slammed fiercely into Marco's head.

The phoenix's blue flames were shattered by this punch.

Marco's body traced a straight line through the air before plummeting from a height of tens of meters, crashing into the ice with a deafening roar, sending shards of ice flying everywhere.

Before Marco could even get up, more than a dozen sea stone chains flew in from all directions and precisely wrapped around his body.

Onigumo stood at the other end of the chain, hooked his finger, and the chain tightened suddenly, pinning Marco firmly to the ice.

"Marco—!!!"

The pirates on the ice screamed in terror.

Marco the Phoenix, the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, has been captured.

On the execution platform, Sengoku put down the Den Den Mushi (a type of electric telephone), a resolute glint in his eyes.

"The situation has exceeded expectations."

He looked down at the chaotic battlefield, at the straw-hatted boy charging toward the execution platform, and at the naval position turned upside down by Whitebeard.

Then he made a decision.

"There's no need to wait until the execution time."

Sengoku's voice was amplified through the Den Den Mushi, spreading across the entire battlefield. Every word sounded like an ice pick hitting everyone's eardrums.

"Execute Portcus D. Ace immediately."

Sengoku's voice was amplified and broadcast throughout Marineford Square via Den Den Mushi (a type of electric telephone).

At that moment, everyone on the battlefield was stunned.

The pirates were stunned.

They risked their lives to save Ace, and now the Navy wants to execute him ahead of schedule?

The naval soldiers were also stunned.

The execution was carried out ahead of schedule, indicating that the situation had become so urgent that even the Warring States marshal felt that they could not wait any longer.

Luffy froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

His legs were still moving forward, but his mind was completely blank.

He watched as the two executioners on the execution platform raised their long swords, the blades reflecting a blinding, cold light in the sunlight.

The blade began to fall, very slowly, like a slow-motion scene in a movie.

"stop--!!!"

Luffy's voice exploded from deep within his throat.

But the two executioners couldn't hear it. Or rather, even if they had, they wouldn't have stopped.

The blade continued its downward trajectory, getting closer and closer to Ace's nape.

Luffy's body reacted before his brain did.

He opened his mouth and took a deep breath.

He inhaled with extreme force, his rubber lungs stretched to their limit, and the surrounding air swirled slightly as he breathed.

Then he roared.

That roar didn't come from the throat; it erupted simultaneously from the depths of the bone marrow, from the very bottom of the heart, from every single cell.

"stop----!!!"

The Conqueror's Haki exploded outwards from Luffy.

Dark red arcs of electricity surged from Luffy's body, like countless uncontrolled bolts of lightning striking in all directions.

The shockwave spread in a ring, cracking the ice surface and distorting the air wherever it passed, even tearing a hole in the clouds in the sky.

The naval soldiers directly below the execution platform were the first to suffer.

The soldiers closest to Luffy rolled their eyes back and collapsed to the ground, their weapons clattering and falling to the floor.

Then came the second, third, and fourth shockwaves—the shockwaves pushed outwards like dominoes, and one naval soldier after another fell down.

Hundreds of people. Thousands of people. Several thousand people.

A large area of ​​the ice had collapsed.

The fallen soldiers' eyes were all spinning, and they were foaming at the mouth. Some of them fainted while still holding their swords.

Only a few officers of general rank are still struggling to hold on.

They stood in the shockwave, gritting their teeth, their legs trembling, veins bulging on their foreheads, but they stubbornly refused to fall.
