"Die, you bastards!" Whitebeard Edward Newgate roared angrily. His bisento, Murakumogiri, slashed fiercely towards Aokiji and Akainu!
Seeing the danger, the two dodged in a panic! Because Akainu arm had turned into magma, it was extremely bulky, so his evasion was slightly slower! He was grazed by Whitebeard slash!
In the next moment, Akainu magma arm was cleanly severed. The flesh wrapped by the magma arm was also sliced off!
"Argghhh!" Akainu cried out in pain.
Aokiji was also sent flying into the ruins by the terrifying impact. Although he wasn't seriously injured, he was still covered in dust!
...
Marineford, Marine Headquarters.
In Fleet Admiral Sengoku office, Sengoku, Garp, and Vice Admiral Tsuru were anxiously waiting for the three Marine Admirals to return with Fire Fist Ace.
"They shouldn't be this slow!" Vice Admiral Tsuru frowned.
"Indeed, before they left, I gave Aokiji a higher-level teleportation talisman. They should have returned faster!" Sengoku also frowned.
Only Garp, who was usually the most cheerful, remained silent. He was anxious, fearing that Ace might suddenly be brought back. If that happened, Ace life would be over!
Although Garp was a Marine and Ace had chosen to be a pirate, their opposing stances didn't diminish Garp deep love and concern for Ace!
Just as the three were frowning in worry, a golden-purple light finally lit up in Sengoku office. Their breathing instantly quickened.
In the next moment, Kizaru appeared in Sengoku office, holding Fire Fist Ace in one hand.
Seeing this, Garp vision darkened, and he collapsed onto the sofa. Vice Admiral Tsuru and Sengoku were both relieved. As long as Ace was brought back, everything would be fine!
"Huh?"
"Why are you alone? Where are Akainu and Aokiji?" Sengoku suddenly realized and asked curiously.
Kizaru took a deep breath. "Fleet Admiral, we need to go to Banaro Island immediately!"
"Whitebeard somehow found Marshall D Teach there. Aokiji and Akainu are currently holding him off!" Kizaru quickly explained.
Hearing this, Sengoku didn't hesitate. He pulled Garp, who was still in grief, to stand beside Kizaru. In Garp current state, Sengoku dared not leave him alone with Ace.
If Garp lost his composure and did something foolish, it would be disastrous!
Kizaru didn't hesitate. He took out the teleportation talisman again and activated it. The golden-purple light enveloped the three, and in Ace astonished gaze, they disappeared.
Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at Ace and sighed. She slowly walked over and removed the cloth from Ace mouth.
"Garp's grandson?" Vice Admiral Tsuru said softly, then poured a cup of tea for Ace, preparing to give him some water.
Knowing that this was Vice Admiral Tsuru, who had a good relationship with Garp, Ace didn't hesitate. He nodded and gulped down the entire cup of water.
"Tsuru-san, what's going on with them?"
"How can they cover such a distance in an instant?"
"Has Kizaru Devil Fruit power been developed to such a terrifying level?"
Ace also asked curiously.
"Don't you know?" Tsuru was somewhat puzzled by the question.
"How could I possibly know?"
"Either it's Kizaru's Devil Fruit ability, or it's some new equipment you Marines have developed!" Ace shrugged and said.
After all, it's common knowledge that the Marines have an incredibly brilliant scientist, Dr. Vegapunk! Many of the Marines' most formidable pieces of equipment were developed by this Dr. Vegapunk! So naturally, Ace attributed this strange phenomenon to Vegapunk.
"Silly boy, this thing wasn't invented by Dr. Vegapunk!" Tsuru chuckled.
"Has the Navy produced another groundbreaking inventor?" Ace asked, still confused.
"Hasn't Whitebeard told you?"
"These things came from your Whitebeard Pirates!" Seeing Ace genuine reaction, Tsuru exclaimed in surprise.
"What?" Ace was shocked. It came from his own crew? Why didn't his father tell him about this? If he weren't in such a dire situation, he would definitely go back home to see who this genius was!
"You're badly injured, eat this!"
"This thing is also quite miraculous, invented by a genius from your pirate crew!"
"Oh, by the way, his name is Pryce!" Tsuru took out a Senzu Bean and fed it to Ace. Even if Ace fully recovered, he couldn't break free from the Seastone chains!
A green light emanated from Ace body, and he felt incredibly comfortable all over! His injuries were healing at a visible rate! Soon, Ace wounds were mostly healed! A strange light shone in Ace eyes! Now he was extremely curious about this unseen crewmate, Pryce!
But thinking about his current predicament, there was no way he could escape! Ace sighed deeply.
...
Grandline, Banaro Island.
Watching Kizaru take Ace away, Whitebeard was furious! With Kizaru gone, Aokiji and Akainu were left to face the enraged Whitebeard, and they could only defend themselves!
Aokiji immediately erected thick ice walls around Whitebeard, and Akainu summoned magma walls to surround him.
"Where's Kizaru's backup?" Akainu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gritted his teeth.
Aokiji shrugged and said nothing. Although he wasn't injured, he was still covered in dust and grime!
At this moment, Whitebeard who was trapped between the ice wall and the lava wall, let out a furious roar. A dazzling light erupted from within the walls! With a single slash, Whitebeard shattered the surrounding walls.
"Let's fight!" After uttering these words with a hint of resignation, Admiral Aokiji charged toward Whitebeard.
At that moment, a golden-purple light once again appeared on the island!
