The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

Shiki the Golden Lion has taken the lead in the battle. Whitebeard no longer stops his subordinates and, together with his adopted sons, they head into the square to engage in close combat with the navy.

"Go ahead, drag out the navy to create opportunities for others."

Edward Newgate looked at Luffy beside him. Brother Ace should have the opportunity to come into contact with the execution platform. After all, the Straw Hat Boy is Garp's grandson.

When the middle and lower-level navy officers fight Luffy, they are unlikely to have the intention to kill him. But when it comes to the level of the navy admirals, it is full of uncertainty.

"Marco, you follow him. I'll be the only one guarding the Moby Dick."

Marco took over his father's order and came to Luffy's side. The two men looked at each other and could see that each other really wanted to save Ace.

"Ace, wait a minute, I'm here to save you now"!

Luffy shouted loudly in the direction of Ace, instantly attracting the attention of most of the navy. He was a perfect T position to attract hatred, and it was hard not to pay attention to him.

The flying Moby Dick, under the influence of the Floating Fruit, began to glide at a low altitude towards the area near Marinford Square. The shadow cast by the giant ship blocked the vision of a large area of ​​the navy.

The navy had already had a combat plan in advance, and the formation was spread out in the port like an iron wall. The front row of musketeers raised their guns to the sky, ready to fire at any time.

Dozens of artillery pieces in the back row were pushed out. The gunners had already loaded the guns, and their muzzles were pointed directly at the sky. They were mainly used for field air defense.

The Moby Dick was moving in a manner that defied scientific common sense. Instead of suddenly falling due to gravity, the ship continued to float forward with the wind. The Whitebeard pirate flag fluttered in the wind, as if mocking the ant-like attacks below.

"Fire!" The commander's roar pierced the air.

In an instant, thousands of muskets spewed out flames, and lead bullets shot into the air like dense black rain. Cannons roared at the same time, and solid bullets drew arcs wrapped in smoke, and their trajectories intertwined into a hideous giant net in the sunlight.

All the navy were staring at the pirate ship. After all, the Moby Dick was a wooden ship, and they were waiting to see the moment it was torn into pieces by the torrent of steel.

But the next second, time seemed to be stretched out, and the lead bullets in the front row suddenly hit an invisible wall when they were still a few meters away from the Moby Dick.

The gunpowder's propulsion speed suddenly slowed down, and then it shattered into powder with a "clang, clang, clang" sound, turning into fine dust and drifting away.

The shells that were a little further away stopped in mid-air, hit the invisible wall like lead bullets, and then exploded close to the hull of the Moby Dick.

"What's going on?"

"It must be the Golden Lion's ability that's at work, protecting the Moby Dick from harm."

The moment Garp raised the question, Sengoku guessed that it was Golden Lion who was behind this. Shiki was still as strong as ever, so he really shouldn't be underestimated.

The Moby Dick remained suspended in the air, even the swaying of its sails remaining intact, as if the naval salvo attack below was nothing more than a gust of insignificant wind.

The musketeers froze in their places, their muskets still in their hands, having forgotten to reload.

The artillerymen opened their mouths wide, looking at the shells they were so proud of, which caused no substantial damage. They thought they were fireworks used for celebration, and the residual heat in the barrel seemed to carry a hint of mockery.

The commander's sword stopped in mid-air, and the ferocious look on his face froze into astonishment. He could even see the pirates on the deck of the Moby Dick wiping their equipment carelessly, and when they glanced down, they looked at him with contempt as if he were a fool.

"The Float-Float Fruit can actually be used on a single object. Shiki has already crossed the stage of awakening the fruit. This is really troublesome."

Sakaski stood up from his seat. He could no longer watch the show as the Moby Dick was getting closer and closer to the ground.

Even if we can't stop it from landing, we can still create some trouble for the pirates and boost the morale of the grassroots navy!

Admiral Akainu gathered power in his right fist, dark red magma surged between his fingers, a pungent smell of sulfur filled the air, and even the surrounding sea breeze seemed to be evaporating.

A few seconds later, he thrust his right fist forward. Boom! A crimson beam of light ripped through the sky, and a stream of scorching lava stretched and extended like a living thing, suddenly condensing in the air into a giant lava dog larger than the Moby Dick.

This move is the new move that Sakaski just mastered - the enhanced version of the Hades Dog!

The dog's head continued to expand in the air, its diameter exceeding 100 meters, covering half of the airspace. Molten gold-like magma was swirling in its throat, and it pounced on the approaching Moby Dick with the momentum of burning everything.

The giant magma dog opened its huge mouth of magma, and inside was a vortex of lava that was big enough to swallow the entire sailboat. Under the high temperature, the sails began to burn instantly at a distance of 100 meters.

The wood chips on the Moby Dick crackled, and everyone on board could even smell the smell of burnt hair. When did Admiral Akainu become so strong?

"Akainu, have you been hiding your strength? You are such a troublesome young man. The Moby Dick cannot be destroyed. Let me handle it."

Edward Newgate stopped his descendants from confronting the magma head head-on. The magma dog head floating in the air had a huge mouth that was big enough to swallow the Moby Dick whole.

The Moby Dick took people away afterwards, and it must not be easily destroyed in Marinford. "Kid, don't underestimate us in the old times!"

At this critical moment, Whitebeard slowly raised his right hand that was not holding the knife, and a dazzling white light suddenly burst out from the palm of his hand.

The air around his right hand shattered like glass, and spider-web-like cracks quickly spread into the distance, as if the entire space was twisting and groaning under his power, and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was vibrating the space at a long distance.

Whitebeard did not touch any physical object, but just clenched his fist in the direction of the giant lava dog in the distance.

Invisible shock waves whistled along the cracks in space, as if being grasped tightly by an invisible giant hand. The giant magma dog let out a silent roar, and its huge body began to disintegrate from the inside.

Red lava fragments fell like a rainstorm, and before they hit the ships, they had cooled into black rocks, so the navy below was not harmed.

Everyone on the boat looked at this scene in shock. The shadow of death that had just hung over their heads disappeared in an instant. The first confrontation between the general and his father ended in a draw.

Whitebeard slowly lowered his arm, and the cracked airspace returned to its original state, as if the devastating blow had never happened.

Only the slightly trembling right hand still retained the residual power after activating the ability, silently proclaiming the terrifying strength of the world's strongest man.

"Lava Imp, let me be your opponent. I want to test your absolute justice and see if it is truly firm."

The aura in Whitebeard's body exploded instantly, and the domineering aura formed red thunder in the airspace, which kept spreading in the sky. It was stronger and more domineering than the domineering aura of the golden lion Shiki!

The most powerful pirate challenges the most powerful admiral. This is the battle of the century.
