Whitebeard was taken aback. He looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him, stepping on the naginata in his hand, and grinned.

"Gurararara, you little lava imp, you finally couldn't sit still after seeing your little son-in-law about to die, huh?"

Akainu, dressed in a red military uniform with a rose on his left breast and a wide cloak, grinned cruelly upon hearing this.

"No, I just wanted to save you some face, old ghost, so you wouldn't lose too badly and have your breastfed sons cry."

"A sharp-tongued brat."

Whitebeard flicked his wrist, pulling the naginata from under Akainu's feet, twirling it in his hand, and then slashing it diagonally down towards Akainu's neck.

"Whitebeard! What kind of funeral do you want? Choose one in advance, so you don't die too soon and don't have a chance to leave your last words."

A fierce red light instantly emanated from Akainu's black gloves, and the surrounding air heated up rapidly. A massive amount of heat surged out of his body, distorting the air within dozens of meters. His crimson right fist, wrapped in high-level Armament Haki, swung out with lightning speed and slammed into the blade of Whitebeard's naginata.

"when!"

Amidst the deafening roar, the naginata that Whitebeard had been slashing diagonally from his hand bounced off to the side.

Akainu continued throwing his right fist, delivering another punch to Whitebeard.

Crimson magma erupted from his fist, transforming into a torrent of magma resembling a crimson dragon, billowing black smoke, and rushing towards Whitebeard like an erupting volcano.

"You? Your lava is only good enough to light a few candles on a birthday cake."

Whitebeard gritted his teeth, clenched his right fist, and punched out at the surging torrent of lava.

"Boom! Crack crack crack crack!"

The scorching magma, rumbling and crashing forward, was frozen in mid-air by the solidified atmosphere at a distance of half a meter.

Where Whitebeard's fist slammed down, the atmosphere cracked open, then exploded with a deafening roar, transforming into a shockwave that collided with Akainu's magma torrent.

"boom!"

The scorching magma exploded with a roar, turning into a rain of fiery lava that poured down in all directions.

Centered on the two, a violent shockwave erupted, sending all the approaching marines flying.

Some people were unable to dodge in time and were about to be hit by large swathes of lava. They were so frightened that their faces turned ashen, but then they saw Luo Xia wave his hand from afar, sweeping away all the lava and fire rain falling from the sky.

"Everyone! Get away from Admiral Akainu's battlefield!"

Rorschach shouted.

"Yes, Vice Admiral Rorschach!" The surrounding marines immediately obeyed the order and quickly withdrew.

Rorschach gripped the Heavenly Dragon Halberd tightly, and wisps of lightning continuously emanated from his massive body, shooting towards the sky above Marineford. Although almost invisible to the naked eye, the lightning truly filled the sea area within tens of kilometers of Marineford, amplifying the limits of his Observation Haki perception several times over.

At this moment, several uninvited guests have been discovered at the edge of the range that his Observation Haki can perceive.

"So they really came? This is really going to be difficult."

Rorschach felt a pang of unease. He suddenly looked toward Akainu and shouted, "Admiral Akainu! Do you need my help?"

His shout startled Marco, who was being relentlessly pursued by Enel, causing him to turn pale and look towards the plaza where Whitebeard was.

Although Old Man seems to be in pretty good condition now, if Akainu and Rorschach were to join forces to fight him, even someone as strong as Old Man would inevitably be in danger.

"No need! Leave this old man to me. You go and deal with his useless sons. I want to see if this old man will die of anger when all his sons are dead."

Akainu's keen Observation Haki had already noticed Rorschach's furrowed brow, and he immediately knew that the unexpected turn of events he had been guarding against had probably already occurred.

"it is good!"

Upon hearing Akainu's voice, Rorschach didn't mince words. He took a step and his figure transformed into a phantom of lightning, disappearing at lightning speed and heading towards the inner bay ice surface where the battle was most intense.

Seeing Rorschach leave, Whitebeard frowned, his strength suddenly increased, and white shockwaves spread across the blade of Murakumogiri as he swung it high and slashed fiercely at Akainu.

"boom!"

The ground exploded with a deafening roar, and violent energy shot out and cut in all directions.

Ignoring his admiral status, Akainu rolled away to dodge the direct slash of Murakumogiri. Magma surged from his right fist and roared out, his entire right arm suddenly extending into a ferocious, roaring dog's head, tearing at Whitebeard's face.

"Are you in a hurry, Whitebeard?"

"A dog devours a red lotus!"

"Gurrrara, my son, you're not so easy to fall! You'd better worry about yourself first, you lava brat!"

"Airquake!"

A shockwave erupted from Whitebeard's fist as he shattered the magma hound that was tearing at him. With a push of his feet, his towering body surged forward, and he even threw away his naginata. He then swung his fists and fiercely smashed them at Akainu, attempting to engage him in close combat.

Akainu narrowed his eyes, his body, which was more than half the height of Whitebeard, crouched down, and leaped in front of Whitebeard, punching him in the chest.

The crimson magma erupted, the intense heat distorting the atmosphere, as if it were about to incinerate everything in the world, filled with an aura of annihilation.

Whitebeard slammed his clenched fist down to meet Akainu's magma fist, his expression calm, as if he wasn't worried about his son at all.

However, Whitebeard's powerful Observation Haki had already covered the entire Marineford battlefield, firmly locking onto Rorschach, who was heading towards the inner bay's ice surface.

On the ice surface of the inner bay, Marco breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Akainu refuse Rorschach's help, only to see Rorschach turn around and shoot towards him. Marco, who was flying on the top of the dam and exchanging blows with Enel, was right in the path of Rorschach's charge.

Sensing the fierce aura emanating from Rorschach, Marco focused intently, prepared for the worst-case scenario of simultaneously dealing with both Rorschach and Enel.

However, in the next instant, Luo Xia's burly figure, which was shooting towards him with a violent aura, rushed past him like lightning, without any intention of stopping to attack him.

Marco was taken aback at first, then his face paled in shock. He spread his wings, blue flames surged, and he chased after Rorschach's back at top speed.

"Stop right there, Rorschach!"

"Five Hundred Million Volts Armed! Divine Judgment!"

Enel roared, unleashing a torrent of Haki from his body. The thick bolts of lightning that shot from his hands turned jet black, instantly shooting over a hundred meters away and striking Marco, who had transformed into a phoenix. This struck Marco, who was about to fall towards Rorschach, and brought him down from the sky.

"No!"

Marco's eyes widened in fury as he watched Rorschach abandon himself, Joz, and Vista, charging headlong into the fiercest battleground of the lower-middle-tier battlefield.

If someone like Rorschach were to go all out and enter a low-level battle without the countermeasures of high-level combatants, the consequences would be absolutely disastrous!

In particular, Rorschach is a Mythical Zoan-type ability user capable of launching attacks over an extremely wide area.

Just as Marco's slight worry emerged, a dazzling flash of lightning erupted from the already unsettled pirate group, which was already reeling from Blackbeard and Sengoku's earlier instigation.

Diving down from the sky like a giant shark entering the sea, it crashed into Rorschach, who was surrounded by a group of sardines, and instantly unleashed a massive storm of thunder.

The wildly spreading and expanding lightning, like a different kind of Conqueror's Haki, swept across half of the inner bay's ice surface in an instant.

Blinding bolts of lightning shot out, sizzling and crackling, precisely avoiding the fiercely fighting marines and striking the pirates one by one.

The lightning, with an intensity of less than one hundred million volts, burst forth in tens of thousands of bolts in an instant. All the pirates who were struck, except for a very small number of slightly stronger elite pirates, were mercilessly pierced through by the lightning. Amidst screams of agony, they were brutally electrocuted into human-shaped charcoal masses, emitting foul black smoke as they collapsed onto the ice.

"Bang bang bang..."

A series of thuds echoed from every corner of the battlefield, leaving both sides, who were engaged in combat, stunned for a moment.

With a single Thunderstorm, Rorschach didn't even bother to check how many pirates had died. His demonic figure flashed once more, instantly appearing before the White Team captain and the captain of the affiliated pirate crew, who were fighting against the Marine Vice Admirals.

The fourteen division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates, along with these fifty-odd pirate captains in the New World with bounties exceeding 100 million, are the true backbone of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The nearly seventy high-level combatants, comparable to rear admirals and vice admirals of the Navy Headquarters, basically blocked all the vice admiral-level elites below the admiral level of the Navy Headquarters.

Even Kizaru and Aokiji are fighting against these people.

It is precisely because of these pirates that this war has been able to continue for so long despite having fewer top-tier combatants than the Navy.

If these people fall, the entire Whitebeard Pirates will become a building without a foundation, teetering on the brink of collapse!

Karma, the octopus-man who was fighting Smoker to a standstill in the crowd, suddenly felt a strong pang of fear.

"not good!"

His scalp tingled, and he was about to turn around to guard against an attack from behind.

However, the next second, his vision began to spin in the air, and the world before him began to spun around him.

In the ever-spinning world, Karma saw a headless body spewing a fountain of blood into the sky from its chest cavity.

The body was short, with six arms, and held six long swords in its hands.

That is……

"my body?"

The moment the thought crossed Karma's mind, the world before her was plunged into eternal darkness.

Smoker didn't have time to stop. His Seastone Jitte sent Karma, who was already headless, flying, before he finally froze.

But it's not over yet.

Almost simultaneously, in the surrounding battlefield, a tall figure shrouded in wind and thunder rampaged through the area. Wherever he passed, pirate captains who were fighting against the elite naval forces either lost their heads, had their hearts pierced, or were simply crushed in half by the brute force.

They died so quickly that these pirate captains didn't even realize they were dead before they died.

From the moment a large number of low-ranking pirates were electrocuted by a sudden lightning storm to the deaths of more than a dozen pirate captains with bounties of hundreds of millions, the entire process took only a dozen seconds.

When Akainu stopped Whitebeard, Marco, Jozu, Vista, and others, and they were all stopped, there was no one in the huge Whitebeard Pirates who could withstand a single blow from Rorschach.

Marco, Vista, and the others watched with utter fury as Rorschach, seemingly unaffected, mercilessly reaped the lives of his companions.

"Stop! Rorschach!!"

"No! Squard! Get out of the way!"

With a cruel smile on his face, Squard, the giant spider who was about to cleave Tashigi in two with his long sword, was suddenly enveloped by a huge shadow before he could even cut open the chest of the beauty before him with his sword.

He froze on the spot, tilting his head back to look up, only to meet Luo Xia's cold face.

“Lan…Lan Lin…”

"boom!"

A massive, pillar-like hand descended upon Squard, slapping him from head to toe, turning him into a splattered mess of mud.

The sharp blade in his hand shattered into sharp fragments, enveloped in a hazy electric light, which shot towards the other pirate captains around him.

In an instant, three or four more pirate captains fell to the ground.

"Squard! Damn Bluescale! I'll kill you!"

Blenheim, the squad leader of the Ninth Squad, who was even taller than Jozu, saw Squard's miserable state and his eyes instantly turned red. He swung his five- or six-meter-long sword and cleaved Bepo away with one blow, then roared and charged toward Rorschach.

"No! Blenheim!"

Marco screamed.
