Chapter 79: Marco’s Raid Failed (Ch 79)

Marco, who had been waiting for an opportunity, saw that his father and Akainu attracted most people’s attention when they were confronting each other. He was secretly happy and knew that his chance had come.
Marco instantly turned into a huge blue phoenix, flapping his wings and rushing towards the execution platform.
“Great, it’s Captain Marco, charge!” When the pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates saw their Captain Marco flying towards the execution platform, they all became excited and cheered in unison.
Diamond Joz raised his right hand and shouted, “Marco, go! Save Ace.”
“This is troublesome!” Aokiji said with a serious expression as he watched Marco flying quickly towards the execution platform.
Yellow Monkey, on his side, looked at Marco with a lewd expression and said jokingly: “This is quite bad! The opportunity was seized.”
Akainu turned his head and frowned, looking at Marco with anger, and cursed with gritted teeth: “Damn Marco.”
Whitebeard fixed his gaze on Marco, with anticipation gleaming in his eyes, hoping that Marco could successfully rescue Ace in one fell swoop.
Zhan Guo on the execution platform clenched his fists, his face full of anger, and shouted loudly to the surrounding navy soldiers: “What are you doing? Come on, take him down.”
After the stunned naval soldiers reacted, they raised their guns and kept firing at the Phoenix Marco.
However, they soon discovered that these bullets had no effect on Marco and could not cause any substantial damage to him.
“No! Guns have no effect on Marco.” A group of navy soldiers shouted in frustration.
Seeing this, Zhan Guo immediately shouted loudly: “It doesn’t matter, keep attacking.” He knew that although ordinary firearms could not hurt Marco, as long as he continued to attack, he would always find an opportunity.
However, as the marines continued to fire, the result remained unchanged. Marco nimbly dodged the bullets in mid-air, unaffected.
“Marco, don’t even think about interfering with the execution.” Zhan Guo decided to do it himself. He began to emit a dazzling golden light, which became stronger and stronger. Zhan Guo’s body also expanded, and finally turned into a huge golden Buddha statue.
The strong golden light illuminated the entire Marine Headquarters, Marinford Square, shocking everyone.
When Marco saw the Navy Admiral Sengoku using the power of the devil fruit while flying, he frowned and whispered, “Marshal Sengoku.”
“Marco.” Ace, who was kneeling, looked up at Marco in the air, his eyes full of worry and anxiety.
“Marshal Sengoku, use your ability.” A naval lieutenant colonel said in shock, with a tremor in his voice, as if he had seen something terrible.
Another lieutenant commander followed up and said, “This is the first time I’ve seen a marshal use his abilities. He’s so powerful…” His tone was filled with awe.
I saw that the body of Warring States in the form of a golden Buddha was as huge as a giant. He shouted in a voice like a bell: “Get back! Marco.” His voice was like thunder, echoing between heaven and earth.
As the Buddha of the Warring States Period slapped his palm, a powerful shock wave was formed instantly. This shock wave was like a surging sea wave, advancing forward with endless power.
Marco was less than ten meters away from the execution platform, but at this moment, a strong shock wave hit him hard.
Marco was hit by the shock wave, and his body was shaken violently, so he had to stop moving forward. His face turned very pale, as if he had received a huge shock.
“Is this… a shock wave?” Marco murmured in a low voice. There was a hint of pain and helplessness in his voice, as if he was facing an irresistible force.
Then, there was a loud bang, and the shock wave completely exploded, knocking Marco directly out. His body rolled in the air like a leaf caught in the wind.
Marco gritted his teeth and tried desperately to keep his body steady while flying backwards. He finally stayed in the air and kept flapping his blue flame wings behind him to keep his balance. His wings were like burning flames, dancing in the wind, looking very beautiful.
“Roar, roar, roar~~~”
“We have the strongest defense in Marshal Sengoku, so there is no need to be afraid of the Whitebeard Pirates!”
“Yeah, yeah, there’s nothing to be afraid of from the Whitebeard Pirates!”
The navy soldiers were originally very nervous, but after seeing Marshal Zhan Guo display his might, the fear in their hearts instantly disappeared without a trace. They showed excitement and excitement on their faces, as if they saw the dawn of victory.
The Whitebeard Pirates all felt it was a pity that Marco failed to break through the defense line and missed this rare opportunity. They didn’t know when the next such opportunity would come.
“Warring States…” White Beard looked at the golden figure on the execution platform and muttered softly. His voice seemed to come from the sky, carrying with it endless vicissitudes and majesty.
Then, Whitebeard raised his right hand and shouted loudly: “Sons, the opponent is just an old navy! There is nothing to be afraid of!” His voice was like thunder, resounding throughout the battlefield, boosting the morale of the pirates in the Whitebeard Pirates.
Akainu’s left hand turned into a magma fist and smashed towards Whitebeard fiercely, saying: “If you are also from that era, then face your opponent squarely!” His voice was full of challenge and majesty, as if declaring his determination to Whitebeard.
Whitebeard looked at the magma fist that was so close to him, tightly grasped the supreme sword Kusugano Kiri, and cut it apart with one stroke. His movements were as fast as lightning, making it impossible to catch them.
The deflected lava fist split into two and smashed into the buildings of Marinford respectively.
Boom~~~~
Boom~~~~
Akainu looked back and said, “If you keep destroying this island like this, I’m afraid it won’t be able to bear it!” There was a hint of anger in his voice, as if he was angry about Marinford being wantonly destroyed by Whitebeard.
“Hualalalal~~” Whitebeard laughed loudly and said, “Little magma devil, that’s why I told you to block it if you have the ability.”
“Don’t be so arrogant, Whitebeard. You are just a loser from the old days! Die for me!” Akainu’s eyes widened, veins popped out on his forehead, and he shouted through gnashing teeth. His left hand quickly turned into a hot lava fist, and with a blazing flame, he swung it at Whitebeard again.
Whitebeard showed no sign of weakness. He raised his right hand and condensed the powerful force of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit into a huge white ball of light, which was attached to his fist. Then, he used all his strength and smashed his fist out fiercely.
Instantly, the red and blue lights collided with each other, producing a huge explosion that shook the world. The entire battlefield was illuminated by the red and blue lights, and the strong shock wave spread everywhere, making it impossible to look directly at it.
On the execution platform, Zhan Guo looked at the scene in front of him and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the battle had entered a white-hot stage, but their goal had been achieved.
Next, we just need to wait for Whitebeard to run out of energy, and then we can complete the mission successfully. Thinking of this, Zhan Guo exited the phantom beast form and returned to his normal state.
He decided to start implementing the next plan. After all, the outcome of this war was of vital importance to them. As long as the world could see that the navy had achieved the final victory, the specific process would no longer matter.
Zhan Guo turned his head to look at the audience and said to a messenger soldier, “Go and tell them to shut down the three video Den Den Mushi.”
“Yes, Marshal Zhan Guo.” After receiving the order, the messenger soldier immediately turned around and left, quickly carrying out the mission.
About half a minute later, two of the three video telephone bugs turned off one after another, while the last one remained on.
