One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

After Enel cleared away the surge of lightning power within him, only Vista, Lacus, and Izo remained standing on the ice behind Marco.

The rest of the captains and elite pirates were all blasted into charred remains, emitting black smoke, by Enel's lightning.

Even Lakshmi, Izan, Vista, and Marco were struck by the violent lightning and coughed up blood.

Marco, who had fought against Enel, Rorschach, Akainu, and Sengoku for a long time, was still able to use his Phoenix ability, but his stamina was almost completely depleted.

Now, under Enel's relentless bombardment, the offensive against Sengoku has been halted.

In that brief pause, Sengoku seized the opportunity, and the dazzling golden Buddha leaped high, just like Enel's Thunder Buddha, and slammed its golden hand down on the remaining four members of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco and his crew.

The golden palm, as if cast from pure gold, unleashed not only a massive golden shockwave, but also thick bolts of domineering blue lightning.

As the supreme admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Sengoku, who has upheld justice and reigned supreme over the world his entire life, possesses Conqueror's Haki that commands the seas, and is in no way inferior to Garp.

When the terrifying Conqueror's Haki burst forth from the Buddha's palm, Marco knew something was wrong.

It was too late to dodge, so he could only unleash his undying flames and rush towards the giant palm of the golden Buddha like a moth to a flame.

Behind him, Vista, Lakyo, and Izou all roared and swung their weapons at Sengoku without hesitation or fear.

But it's too late.

"Domineering Entanglement! Great Buddha Impact!"

"boom!"

The all-pervasive golden impact, like a golden meteor, slammed into Marco and his companions, causing all four of them, who had been propelled into the air, to cough up blood.

The terrifying shockwave shook their bodies, causing them to fall downwards in a daze.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Having already seized the opportunity, Onigumo and the others approached with lightning speed using their razor-like steps, cleanly and efficiently handcuffing Marco and his companions with the sea stone handcuffs and chains they had prepared.

With his wrists bound by sea stone, the flames burning on Marco's body vanished instantly. Before he could struggle, the two long swords in Onigumo's hands pierced through his shoulders, pinning him to the ground.

At the same time, Doberman's dark fist slammed into Marco's forehead, smashing his head into the ice, leaving him unconscious with a bloody face.

Vista, Izo, and Lakyo were all instantly attacked by several well-coordinated vice admirals from the headquarters. After being severely injured and falling to the ground, they were held down by the few remaining giant vice admirals and tightly bound with more seastone chains.

This sudden turn of events caused Shanks, Rayleigh, and Issho to all change their expressions.

Even Marco and the others have fallen; the entire Whitebeard Pirates have now been wiped out.

"The Revolutionary Army's chief of staff is also here, so he's quite a big fish. Executing him next time might lure Dragon out."

Onigumo brought out another pair of sea stone handcuffs and walked towards Sabo, who was lying on the ice not far away.

The handcuffs in his hands had just been removed, and before they could even be used to cuff Sabo's wrists, he heard a shout from his colleague behind him.

"Onigumo! Watch out!"

Onigumo felt a chill run down his spine. Without thinking, he unleashed all his domineering aura, covering his body, and simultaneously pushed off with his feet to retreat.

But it's too late.

The air ahead howled, and an invisible gale swirled, coalescing into a giant hand that grabbed his face and gently lifted him up from in front of Sabo.

A deep, familiar voice, like that of a ghost spider, rang in his ears.

"No need for next time, I'm already here."

Chapter 682 Storm and Meteorite, War Ends

"you……!"

Hearing the familiar voice beside him, Onigumo's pupils contracted sharply as his face was grabbed. He reflexively slammed the sea stone handcuffs he was still holding into the tall figure formed by the howling wind in front of him.

However, before the sea stone handcuffs in his hand could touch the other person's body, an overwhelming force blasted into Onigumo's body from the large hand that was gripping his face.

"Cough!"

The penetrating power and explosive force of this force were so strong that Onigumo's domineering aura was completely unable to withstand it and was instantly disintegrated. He was blasted so hard that blood spurted from his body, his muscles and bones went limp, and his limbs fell limply to the ground. The handcuffs he was holding also fell to the ground.

Suddenly appearing in front of Sabo, the tall figure in a blue robe and hood instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

Garp, who was fighting Rayleigh, paused in his actions and stared intently at the newcomer, as if trying to see his face through the hood that covered his features.

Rorschach and Akainu also stopped fighting and stood on the invisible air barrier, quietly watching the newcomer.

Rayleigh, Shanks, and the others smiled and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Sengoku's brow twitched, and he said in a deep voice, "Drag, I knew you would come. So, is your Revolutionary Army planning a full-scale war with our Navy? Not only did you send your Chief of Staff to interfere with our execution, but you, as the leader, have also been mobilized."

“Sabo’s actions were his personal decision and have nothing to do with the Revolutionary Army’s position.” Dragon’s voice was low as he tossed Onigumo onto the ice beside him and bent down to pick up Sabo, whose hands were broken, from the ground.

"If that's the case, what are you doing here?" Sengoku's fist had already clenched quietly, and he was now extremely wary of Dragon in front of him.

Dorrag did not remove his hood, and although everyone was so close to him, they could not see what his face looked like under the hood.

Even when using Observation Haki to sense it, all one could perceive was a whistling gale that was constantly howling.

Dragon said, "Although Sabo got involved in your war because of his own decision, he is still a general of my Revolutionary Army, and I will not give him up easily. Besides, I know this is a bit presumptuous, but I still hope that you can release Marco."

"Dream on! Dragon! Since when did your Revolutionary Army start saving pirates? You promised to save civilians, and now you're here to save a bunch of pirates who are harming civilians? Is this your bullshit ideology for betraying the Navy?"

Before Sengoku could speak, Doberman angrily retorted and rushed forward to pick up the blood-covered Onigumo.

The flying squirrel, Dalmesia, and the others swarmed around Dragon, their faces cold as they surrounded him.

Dragon ignored the vice admirals surrounding him and said in a low voice, "Compared to those vicious pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates are actually quite benevolent. You only thought about eliminating them, but you didn't consider what kind of disaster would befall the towns and kingdoms protected by Whitebeard without his suppression. Marco is also a rare kind soul. Instead of imprisoning him in Impel Down, let him return to the New World to protect those innocent civilians..."

"laugh."

Before Dragon could finish speaking, Akainu burst out laughing.

Dragon turned his head toward Akainu.

Although Akainu couldn't see his face, he could already feel an undisguised sense of rejection and killing intent locking onto him.

But Akainu didn't care at all.

He looked at Dragon and sneered, "What kind of bullshit logic is that? You want us to release the pirates we finally captured to protect their territory? If you're so kind, why don't you protect them yourselves? The New World is so chaotic, who's causing trouble? Are you blind? Can't you see? Dragon! If you really want to protect the civilians in this world, kill every pirate you see. Oh, by the way, your son is a pirate too. Let's put righteousness before family and kill him."

"It is precisely because I knew all along who was stirring up trouble in this world that I did not continue to stay in your navy. A group of cold-blooded thugs who wave the banner of justice, but in the end they are just purging the rebels for those in power, and they will never see what they are fighting for."

As soon as Dorrag finished speaking, a raging storm suddenly swept across the shattered ice surface.

In just a few breaths, five or six towering tornado columns roared up, blowing the sailors standing on the ice off their feet and sending them flying away with screams.

"Dorag!"

Enraged, Zhan Guo slammed his hand out, unleashing a golden shockwave at the oncoming tornado column, blasting it into wisps of air that dissipated.

Luo Xia moved swiftly, leaping into the air and reaching out to grab the distant, swirling tornado.

He grabbed the invisible air and pulled, and three of the four tornado columns on the distant ice surface suddenly exploded, leaving only one that continued to grow larger, causing the ice surface within a radius of several thousand meters to shake and crack.

Seeing this, Dragon glanced at Rorschach, gave him a meaningful look, and said with emotion, "Rorschach, your abilities have grown stronger again. Awakening a Mythical Beast is almost equivalent to having two Cataclysmic Nature-type abilities in one person."

Rorschach did not reply.

Dragon's words sound impressive, but when it comes to controlling storms, Rorschach's newly awakened Devil Fruit ability is nowhere near as good as Dragon's, who has been studying storm abilities for decades.

Not to mention that Luo Xia is already seriously injured.

The howling, swirling tornado columns formed again. This time, one after another, columns of wind appeared on the sea in front of Marineford. In the blink of an eye, there were seven or eight tornadoes hundreds of meters high, spinning rapidly like giant spinning tops, rushing towards the naval camp and scattering the newly assembled navy.

"Uncle Rayleigh! Smile! It's time to retreat!"

Shanks shouted when he saw this.

After saying that, his figure disappeared from Akainu's Observation Haki lock. His speed was so fast that it was like teleportation. He appeared in front of the giant Lacval who was holding Marco. With a horizontal slash, he cut off four or five Marine Vice Admirals, including Lacval, and sent them flying backward, coughing up blood.

This time, however, Shanks didn't kill them. He simply sent them flying, then reached out and grabbed Marco, who was tightly bound by Seastone. With a light step, he vanished like a phantom.

At the same time, Rayleigh picked up Ace's body from the ground, his eyes filled with sadness, and quickly left.

"Leave Fire Fist Ace's body behind!"

Akainu, dragging his blood-soaked body, once again transformed into rolling lava and swooped down towards Rayleigh.

At the same time, Sengoku, Garp, Rorschach, and Aokiji all moved, rushing towards Dragon, who was trying to take Vista and the others off the ground.

"Alas, I'm sorry, but I simply cannot bear to see you continue your ruthless methods of extermination."

A smile floated in the sky and sighed.

In this war, because he did not want to kill anyone, he fought against Aokiji the whole time and did not use his abilities on a large scale to attack the naval soldiers.

But now, looking at the Whitebeard Pirates, who were nearly wiped out, and at the tens of thousands of pirates below who were either dead or captured, Iso still felt a pang of pity.

As Dragon said, not all pirates are bad people in this world, and not all marines can represent justice.

It's hard to accept a ruthless naval admiral like Akainu, who would rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.

So, without further hesitation, he unleashed three lightning-fast slashes into the sky.

As the three purple halos rapidly expanded in the sky and disappeared into the depths of the zenith, Sengoku and the others, who were trying to chase after Dragon on the ice below, looked even more grim.

A few seconds later, three burning meteorites appeared in the sky above Marineford, crashing down with a thunderous roar, shaking the air above the sea.

Sengoku and his companions had no choice but to halt their pursuit and instead rush into the sky to intercept the falling meteorites.

"Storm! Thousand-Armed Dragon King!"

On the vast sea, around Akainu, who was charging at the forefront, endless gales suddenly condensed into dragon claws flashing with black lightning, crashing towards Akainu from all directions like a storm. Rorschach was also constantly using the same storm ability to try to disperse the surrounding tornadoes.

Exhausted, Akainu and Rorschach were finally brought down from mid-air by the barrage of Tyrant Claws, landing on the ice.

In their hands, one held Lakyo and the other held Izang.

Vista, along with Sabo, was taken away by Dragon.

Rayleigh, who carried Ace away, and Shanks, who took Marco with him, quickly took to the sky using Issho's ability and disappeared from Sengoku and the others' sight in the blink of an eye.

Without a second thought, Luo Xia dropped the Izo he had snatched back, and, despite the overwhelming fatigue surging through his body, rushed into the sky once more, clasping his hands together in front of the falling meteorite.

"Vacuum field!"

The air within a radius of several kilometers was drawn away, and the raging flames on the meteorite were instantly extinguished.

Then, the churning clouds in the sky, guided remotely by Rorschach, immediately coalesced into thick bolts of lightning that shot out from the clouds, intertwined, and struck the three falling meteorites.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
