Although the Navy was unable to organize an effective counterattack, Olds Jr.'s pace was also curbed and it was difficult for him to advance further.
The squad leaders and pirate captains of the Whitebeard Pirates fought on their own and engaged in a fierce battle with the navy vice admiral team. The battle between the two sides was in full swing and no one could gain an absolute advantage.
In this chaos, El was like the scythe of the god of death, constantly reaping the lives of the 43 pirate members under Whitebeard.
At this time, he finally came in front of Squard.
Under Al's attack, Squard was defeated step by step. Each punch and kick of Al was as heavy as a mountain, making Squard feel unprecedented pressure.
At this time, Luffy did not dare to act rashly because the three admirals of the headquarters were always sitting in front of the execution platform.
He hid among the naval soldiers, feeling extremely anxious, but he did not dare to act rashly, fearing that his reckless actions would affect the rescue.
The battle lasted for more than an hour, and Zhan Guo, who had been paying close attention to the battle, finally issued a new order.
Following Qingzhi's orders, towering iron walls rose up from under the harbor, surrounding the pirates and cutting off their way forward.
Only a few pirates fighting on the front line were surrounded in the square.
Upon receiving the order, Sen Taomaru led the pacifists carefully created by Vegapunk, stepped into the battlefield majestically, and launched an attack on all the pirates.
These pacifists are based on Bartholomew Kuma and are equipped with the same laser beams as Kizaru.
Seeing the pacifist appear, Al took decisive action and quickly killed Squard. He then shuttled among the pirates, like the god of death, reaping lives.
Because once the Pacifist's laser beam is activated, these ordinary pirates will not be able to resist it at all, so he must speed up his harvesting progress.
Whitebeard looked at the iron walls around him and roared. He activated the full power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and punched out with both fists. A huge energy wave swept out like a tsunami and hit the iron wall.
However, these iron walls mixed with seastone were not destroyed as expected under the attack of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. They only shook slightly and remained as stable as a rock.
At this critical moment, Moriah controlled the huge body of Oz Jr. and pressed against the iron walls like a mountain, pushing them back to the bottom of the sea.
Oz Jr. is now covered in wounds, but under Moriah's control, he still shows amazing strength.
However, Moria was exhausted from long-term operation and had to temporarily retreat to the warship to rest.
Oz Jr., who lost Moria's control, was no longer able to fight. He lay on the ground and tried his best to suppress Iron Arm. He shouted to his companions: "Everyone, step on my body and rush through here!"
Whitebeard strode forward, patted Oz Jr. on the body, and said firmly: "Oz Jr., you did a good job. Now take a good rest. We will do the rest."
Whitebeard's words were like a shot of adrenaline, inspiring the pirates' fighting spirit. They stepped on Oz Jr.'s body, crossed the iron wall, and rushed towards the square.
Led by Whitebeard, the pirates poured into the square of Maryford like a tide.
Faced with his oppression, the naval officers had to retreat and abandon this line of defense.

Whitebeard used the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit with all his strength, and the entire island shook violently under his fierce attack.
The ground suddenly cracked open, and the huge crack spread rapidly like an intricate spider web, swallowing up every inch of land.
The building trembled and finally collapsed with a loud bang. Dust and rubble covered the sky and the square was instantly plunged into chaos and panic.
Witnessing the attack launched by Whitebeard, the three admirals of the navy could no longer remain calm. They released their domineering aura, forming an indestructible barrier, tightly guarding the execution platform.
Immediately afterwards, the three admirals Kizaru, Aokiji and Akainu took quick action and pounced towards Whitebeard like three lightning bolts.
However, Kizaru's attack was intercepted by Marco, who flapped his wings high, surrounded by blazing flames, and intercepted Kizaru in mid-air.
At the same time, Qingzhi was also blocked by the hard body of Diamond Joz and stopped. Joz's body was as indestructible as diamond, and even Qingzhi's ice thorns could not leave any mark on it.
In this melee, in addition to the three generals, the world's number one swordsman Hawkeye, who is extremely powerful, also encountered a tenacious challenge from "Flower Sword" Vista.
Vista's swordsmanship is equally superb, not much inferior to Hawkeye's. The duel between the two was extremely fierce, with flashing swords that were a feast for the eyes.
As the sneak attack failed, Crocodile's rage grew.
He directed his rage against the marines who had imprisoned him in Imperial Prison.
Using the power of the Sand-Sand Fruit, he created a huge sandstorm that covered the sky and the sun, sucking in the nearby naval soldiers, leaving them unable to move and unable to struggle helplessly.
At this time, only Akainu was left to face Whitebeard. He spoke coldly, his tone full of sarcasm: "Whitebeard, are you satisfied with this luxurious funeral specially prepared for you?"
Upon hearing this, Whitebeard let out a deafening laugh: "Gulla, Akainu, your little flame isn't even enough to light my birthday candles!"
As the three generals appeared on the scene, Garp slowly walked up to the execution platform.
He took heavy steps, and every step seemed to make the atmosphere of the entire battlefield more solemn.
This naval hero has put One Piece in desperate situations many times, and his appearance is more shocking than the three admirals.
Zhan Guo looked at Garp's arrival in surprise and asked in confusion: "Garp, what are you doing here?"
Garp did not directly answer Sengoku's question, but simply said: "Don't worry, I'm just staying here, I won't do anything."
As he said that, he sat down next to Ace, with a melancholy look on his face: "Why doesn't Ace listen to me?"
Ace looked at the sad old man in front of him, feeling mixed emotions, and finally could only respond in a weak voice: "Grandpa, I'm sorry!"
Seeing this, Zhan Guo interrupted in a stern voice: "Garp, the situation is already like this. If you continue to interfere, I will not show mercy even if it is you!"
Garp's face darkened and he retorted, "Shut up, Sengoku. If I wanted to do something, I would have done it a long time ago. Why would I wait until now? Don't bother me anymore. I just want to be with my family."
At this point, Elta's hands were stained with the blood of countless pirates, which relieved a lot of pressure on the navy's defense line.
In this protracted battle, no one can restrict Al except the main force in head-on confrontation. He moves freely on the battlefield, constantly weakening the enemy's strength.
Whenever a captain approached him, Al would take advantage of the chaotic battle situation to dodge away, and then continue to kill the 43 pirate members without mercy.
Although the crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates were full of enthusiasm and vowed to rescue Ace, Whitebeard was still inferior to the navy in overall strength due to his old age, frailty and illness.
After a long period of high-intensity fighting, Whitebeard's side gradually showed signs of defeat. Whitebeard himself was also severely injured and his clothes were stained with blood, but his eyes were still firm and he did not show any intention of retreating.
Seeing that the battle situation was gradually turning in favor of the navy, Zhan Guo decided to add fuel to the fire and accelerate the enemy's collapse.
He glanced at the time and ordered Ace's execution.
He said coldly to the executioner: "Prepare for execution!"
The executioner who received the order suppressed Ace, raised the sword in his hand, and prepared to behead him.
Karp, who was standing by, burst into tears, unable to bear to watch, and turned his head away to look away.
Ace muttered to himself: "It was not until today that I truly realized how precious life is, haha."
Luffy, who was watching the executioner closely, suddenly saw the executioner raising his knife to kill him. He was terrified and screamed, "Stop!"
As anger and despair intertwined, an invisible wave swept across the square.
Many marines, including the executioner, fainted under the domineering aura that Luffy released unconsciously.
All eyes were on Luffy, and Sengoku turned to Garp angrily, "It's your family again, Garp!"
Ace saw Luffy appear and shouted, "Luffy!"
Seeing that the executioners were all fainting, Luffy ran towards the execution platform with joy, shouting: "Ace, I'm coming, wait for me, I'll save you!"
The appearance of Luffy brings new uncertainty to the situation on the battlefield.
When Marco heard Ace calling Luffy, he realized, "That's the little brother Ace always mentioned, right?"
Kizaru took the opportunity to attack the distracted Marco, with laser beams and light-speed kicks coming one after another.
Marco vomited blood and fell heavily, but stood up tenaciously with an unyielding fire burning in his eyes.
"Victory or defeat often takes only a moment, Captain Marco."
Marco's predicament distracted Joz, and Qingzhi, with his rich combat experience, took the opportunity to fly forward and froze Joz's whole body, sealing him firmly in a huge block of ice, making him unable to move.
At the same time, Akainu noticed Luffy and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"That guy is the son of Dragon and the grandson of the Navy hero Garp. We must not keep such a person, or he will become a great enemy of the World Government like Dragon."
Before he could finish his words, he was grabbed by Whitebeard and hit with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit with all his strength. The ground cracked and Akainu's body was buried deep underground. He was so badly injured that he couldn't move for a while.
Seeing this, Aokiji and Kizaru instantly flashed in front of Whitebeard, blocked Whitebeard's attack, and joined forces to besiege the strongest man in the world.
Aoki's ice spikes and Kizaru's light bullets fell like raindrops, but Whitebeard resolved them all with his extraordinary strength and rich combat experience.
At this moment, Luffy stretched out his rubber arms and, relying on the magical power of rubber, flew towards the execution platform like an arrow.
However, what was unexpected was that Garp actually stepped forward at this time, standing between Luffy and Ace like an insurmountable mountain.
"Grandpa, please get out of the way! I want to save Ace!!!" Luffy's cry was full of anxiety and pleading, his eyes flashing with urgency and uneasiness.
Chapter 65: The Battle of Mariner IV (Please recommend and collect)
"That's impossible, Luffy! I'm the vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters! Before you were born, I was already fighting bloody battles with pirates all over the sea. If you want to pass through here, then you have to step over my body first, Straw Hat Boy Luffy!"
Garp's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his eyes revealed unquestionable determination.
"I can't do it, Grandpa, please get out of the way!" There was a hint of pleading in Luffy's voice, but he knew that time was running out and he couldn't delay any longer.
"If he can't do it, then Ace will have no way out!" There was a hint of helplessness in Garp's voice, but his position did not waver at all.
"I will never accept it!" Luffy roared at him, his voice full of determination to resist.
"There are so many things you cannot accept, Luffy. But at this moment, I will not show any mercy. You are my enemy now!" Garp clenched his right fist, ready to knock Luffy out of the execution platform.
Faced with Garp's determination, Luffy had to do his best and use his strongest attack to save Ace.
When the two were about to collide, the image of Ace who was about to be executed flashed through Garp's mind. He closed his eyes and endured Luffy's punch.
The power of this punch was incredible. It knocked Garp off the execution platform and slammed him to the ground.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luffy quickly came to Ace's side, pulled him up, and the two quickly fled.
"Garp, you are also bound by family ties." Sengoku sighed, "But, I will never let them escape!"
Before he finished speaking, Sengoku instantly transformed into the Human-Human Fruit, the Mythical Beast, the Great Buddha form. His huge body stood majestically on the execution platform, like a god descending from heaven.
He released the Buddha's shock wave in the direction of Luffy and Ace, and a powerful torrent of energy surged like a raging sea.
Luffy quickly inflated his body into a balloon shape and tightly protected Ace, and the two fell towards the execution platform together.
The power of the Buddha's shock wave was so shocking that even the surrounding air was twisted into pieces by this force.
Luffy took the hit head on, but his balloon form effectively mitigated the damage Ace took.
Despite being seriously injured, Luffy had no time to care about his pain. He had only one thought in his mind: to take Ace and escape from here as soon as possible.
At this moment, a piece of wax glue came out from the side and quickly penetrated into Ace's seastone handcuffs.
Mr.3 twisted the handcuffs lightly and they came off.
Luffy and Ace were overjoyed.
However, Mr. 3 ignored them. He turned around and fled in the opposite direction of Luffy, and soon disappeared in the chaotic battlefield.
Ace, who regained his freedom, was full of energy. He pulled Luffy and ran towards Whitebeard and his crew.
Although there were enemies blocking their way along the way, the two brothers cooperated well and easily resolved these attacks.
Whitebeard was very relieved to see Ace was finally rescued, but his face looked unusually pale.
He felt that his body had reached its limit, and every breath seemed to be on the edge of death.
Despite this, his voice was still firm and powerful: "All members of the Whitebeard Pirates, listen to my order. Cover Ace's escape from Maryford."
Hearing his words, the captains of the squads immediately said, "Dad, hurry up and leave. Let us cover you."
"You silly children, how can a son die before his father? This is extremely unfilial." There was a hint of kindness and depth in Whitebeard's words.
After saying that, he swung his sword and forced Qingzhi and Kizaru back several steps.
Under the protection of the captains, Ace returned safely to Whitebeard's camp. He knelt down in the direction of Whitebeard affectionately, tears flashing in his eyes: "Dad, come with us!"
Whitebeard shook his head slightly, his voice carrying the vicissitudes of time: "No need to say more, Ace. I just want to ask you, am I still a competent father?"
Upon hearing this, Ace burst into tears and choked up: "Of course you are qualified, you are my only daddy!!!"
"Gulala, let's go now. I have been a pirate for many years. Let me settle things with the navy today."
There was a hint of vicissitudes in Whitebeard's voice. He said to the Whitebeard Pirates: "Listen carefully, children. This is my last order as captain. You must return to the New World alive and safe."
After he finished speaking, Whitebeard gathered strength in his hands, and the entire square cracked apart under the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, forming a deep chasm separating Whitebeard from the navy.
The power of this blow was so great that the entire square was shaking and dust was flying.
Whitebeard stood at the edge of the cracked ground, looking firmly into the distance, his heart filled with memories of the past.
He knew that he had reached the end of his life, but he had no regrets in seeing Ace leave peacefully.
