One Piece: The Cryo Doctor on the Straw Hat Ship

Luffy, now in Gear 5, was seen grabbing various objects, elements, and even imaginary things around him as tools, engaging in a back-and-forth battle with Garp, who exuded Haki and employed his old fighting style.

Its scale was no less impressive than the confrontation between Sengoku and Moria.

This is truly a wonderful scene of filial piety and virtuous grandchildren.

however……

Anyone familiar with the two of them would be able to tell that... these two guys never really meant it from beginning to end.

But who could have imagined... that they weren't the only ones slacking off in this war!

……

……

"Admiral Kizaru! I've finally seen the light of day again, please spare my life!"

boom!

In the sky, Sabo wielded a water pipe he had picked up from who-knows-where, coated with dark Conqueror's Haki, and clashed with Kizaru, one of the Marine Admirals.

Layers of air currents spread outwards from the two people as the center.

However... on this battlefield today, even the battles involving naval admirals are not considered exciting, so much so that not many people pay attention to this battlefield.

"That won't do!"

Kizaru's voice still carried that signature lazy tone at the end, but his eyes, hidden behind sunglasses, gleamed with a rare seriousness.

He slowly raised his right leg, and brilliant golden light gathered at the sole of his foot, as if he had grasped a corner of the sun:

"As a naval officer, it is my duty to stop you!"

The next second—golden light exploded!

"Light Speed ​​Kick!"

boom!!!

A powerful blow carrying the force of light slammed into Sabo's iron pipe. The collision of the golden beam and the dark aura created a dazzling halo, and the shockwave plowed cracks into the surrounding ground.

Sabo groaned as the iron pipe bent and deformed under the immense force, a tearing pain shooting through his hand.

His body was struck as if by a giant hammer, and he was sent flying uncontrollably backward by the light-speed kick—

As luck would have it, the landing point was right near the sea train where the revolutionary army was preparing to retreat.

"chief of staff!"

Upon seeing this, several revolutionary soldiers quickly stepped forward to greet Sabo.

Mori, standing nearby, also transformed the earth into waves to block the pursuit of the navy and retreated.

"That's about it, Sabo!"

"We should retreat!"

“Yes!” Sabo nodded.

With the help of the Straw Hat Pirates, all the Revolutionary Army soldiers who were about to be executed have been rescued.

Even the Revolutionary Army, which came to the rescue, suffered relatively few casualties thanks to the Straw Hat Pirates' help.

This battle has lasted for less than an hour from the start until now.

However, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

Of course, the Straw Hat Pirates' help was indispensable in this process.

Do not!

It should be said that...

It was precisely because of the Straw Hat crew's existence that they were able to escape so easily.

A myriad of thoughts flashed through my mind.

As Sabo waved for the Revolutionary Army to enter the sea train that Mori had pushed underground, he shouted into the distance:

"Hey~! Luffy, it's time to retreat!!!"

Sabo's shout pierced through the noise of the battlefield and clearly reached Luffy's ears.

Luffy, in Gear 5, was gripping a "rope" made of twisted air as it collided with Garp's "iron fist," causing the surrounding ground to crack inch by inch.

Upon hearing Sabo's voice, he grinned, revealing his signature wide smile, with white steam swirling merrily around him.

"Understood, Sabo!"

Before he finished speaking, his body twisted like rubber, skillfully deflecting the force of Garp's punch, and then retreated several meters.

Garp stood there, looking at his grandson who had grown to be a match for him. A complex emotion flashed across his cloudy yet sharp eyes.

He didn't pursue, but slowly lowered his fist, a subtle, proud smile playing on his lips.

"Grandpa, I'm leaving!" Luffy shouted, his eyes fixed and bright beneath his straw hat.

Garp snorted and turned his head away, as if he didn't want to look at him: "Get lost, don't get in my way!"

Luffy smiled and didn't linger.

On the other side, on the ruins of the Shichibukai viewing platform.

The Straw Hat Pirates had already displayed their formidable power, not only restraining the nearby elite Marine vice admirals,

Furthermore, it firmly restrained several Shichibukai.

Zoro and Hawkeye sparring in swordsmanship is like a passing of the torch between an old and a new era.

Sanji chased after Doflamingo. One side didn't want to fight, and the other didn't want to really fight. So the two of them circled the sky above the battlefield, observing and faking the fight.

Chopper, in his fighting form, also fought Jinbe to a standstill, but after half a day, neither of them showed a single injury.

Even ash stains are rarely seen.

Nami and Robin, however, became serious in their fight against Hancock.

However, it was more like a battlefield for females than a battle.

The three women were determined to outdo each other, each wanting to become the strongest and most beautiful female pirate.

Naturally, the allure of this battlefield far surpasses that of other areas.

after all……

Who wouldn't enjoy watching three stunning beauties fight?

Only Kuma, perhaps influenced by V's butterfly effect, did not follow the Navy's orders to attack the Revolutionary Army as he did in the original story.

He just stood there blankly, his eyes behind his sunglasses concealing some unknown emotions.

For a moment, Marineford didn't look like a battle was taking place at all.

It was more like an exhibition match, with both sides acting as undercover agents to see who could make the match seem more convincing.

"Almost?"

V's gaze passed over the smoke-filled battlefield and looked towards the distant sky, tinged with the gray of gunfire.

His white coat billowed slightly in the wind, and a meaningful smile played on his lips.

"If you don't come soon, we're really leaving!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to carry a certain certainty, as if he were speaking to someone in the void.

And just as his words fell—

As if by prior arrangement with V, a chilling voice, cold enough to freeze the air, suddenly boomed from the sky above the battlefield!

"Who said...you can leave!?"

Chapter 223 Shanks' Face

The sound was like the sharpest ice blade in the dead of winter, tearing through the roar of cannons and the clamor of battle, carrying an undeniable pressure that instantly swept across the entire Marineford!

at the same time--

A vast and suffocating aura of Conqueror's Haki descended from the sky like an invisible tsunami!

Om-! ! !

The intensity of that Conqueror's Haki even surpassed the level when Luffy clashed with Garp earlier!

It's not as fiery and wild as Luffy, nor as profound and steady as Garp—

It was cold.

It was as cold as the undercurrents of the deep sea, as cold as the vacuum of the universe, as cold as the emotionless scrutiny of some supreme being looking down upon ants.

On the battlefield, the naval soldiers and revolutionary soldiers who were fighting each other fell down in droves as if struck by an invisible giant hammer!

Foaming at the mouth, eyes rolled back, and his body slammed stiffly to the ground with a dull thud.

This time—

Even officers at the colonel level in headquarters were not spared.

Several major generals from headquarters even had their knees buckle, kneeling on one knee, clenching their teeth tightly, veins bulging on their foreheads, barely managing to avoid fainting.

"This...this is..."

"There's another powerful figure?! And... even more terrifying than the Straw Hat Boy from before?!"

"Who is it?!"

In the square, everyone's eyes turned in the direction from which the sound came.

All I saw was—

A mysterious magic circle appeared in the sky above Marineford at some unknown time.

The light from the magic circle grew ever deeper, as if a rift leading to an abyss had been torn open in the void.

Several figures slowly descended from the dark pillar of light, each step they took in the air feeling as if they were stepping on everyone's hearts.

The leader—
