Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 609 - 607: The War That Changes an Era

The warship was left at the highest point of the waves, Aozawa transformed into an invisible breeze and returned to the deck at the bow, lifting the element replacement ability and returning to the appearance of Lord Dio.

He offered no explanation for his actions, nor did he need to explain to anyone present what he intended to do; he merely stood there quietly, ignoring the scrutinizing and speculating gazes behind him.

The warship surged forward, propelled by the tsunami caused by Whitebeard, and soon they saw Marineford where the Navy Headquarters was located.

It was a giant crescent-shaped island, and the height of the waves allowed them to easily glimpse the overall layout of the Navy Headquarters.

Outside were fifty new-style warships, densely packed turrets, a hundred thousand elite marines, and distinguished naval vice admirals drawn from various places.

Beneath the execution platform was the highest combat power of the Navy Headquarters, the three Admirals.

The first line of defense at the port was formed by the five renowned Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Whitebeard Pirates' headquarters was inside the bay, while outside there were forty-three affiliated pirate groups flying different pirate flags.

"Where's Ace?"

Luffy widened his eyes, trying to locate Ace below.

In that moment, a towering wave also rose from the left side of the island, attempting to converge with the enormous wave on this side to submerge the entire island.

In the critical moment, a figure suddenly leaped into the air.

Aozawa lowered his head, seeing a strand of ice touch the waves swiftly. The originally tumbling seawater instantly froze in less than a second.

The waves turned into a towering ice mountain, anchoring the warship in the congealed cold.

"Ah!"

Buggy and Mr. 3 hugged each other in fright, tears uncontrollably streaming.

This was the highest combat force of the Navy Headquarters, capable of freezing the terrifying waves in the blink of an eye.

With such high-caliber combat power involved, a weakling like them wouldn't last a moment without dying.

Even the faces of the Impersonation group showed solemnity, understanding the horror of the imminent battlefield.

The powerful figure they felt oppressive suddenly shattered; the person became a mass of fragmented ice, plummeting from the air onto the ground at the moment of touching the sea.

The chill rolled in, and the bay of Marineford was covered in wax-white cold ice, freezing three ships of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The chill emerged from the ice, gradually condensing the man who was initially a mass of shattered ice.

Gulp, as a marine swallowed hard; the two sides had only exchanged a few simple moves, already altering the sea surface.

The oppressive force brought by the tsunami frightened them into holding their breaths, thinking an enemy could destroy them with a single punch; it was exceedingly terrifying.

Someone took a deep breath and shouted, "Don't be afraid, we also have the three Admirals of the Navy Headquarters!"

"That's right! We have the three Admirals here!"

After the words of self-reassurance, all of Marineford instantly became lively, bullets chambered, turrets rotating, resembling a ferocious beast rising, with undisguised desire to devour.

"Hey, not good, our ship is frozen!"

"This is perfect, it creates an excellent foothold for us, charge!"

A call was made, and the swordsman with curly black beard and deep blue top hat, wielding two Western Swords, leaped down, followed by captains behind him.

"Let's go, Daz Bones, let's move forward to battle."

A cigar-clenching marine called out, snatched the ten-hands, and along with other marines, moved forward to confront the Whitebeard Pirates.

The sight of a battle to determine the fate of an era was about to erupt.

The frozen waves on the right suddenly thawed, a rumbling sound echoed, and a flame figure taller than the waves appeared before everyone.

The heat surged, and where it passed, the ice swiftly melted, turning into bubbling boiling seawater.

"Ah, so hot, stay away from here!"

"The sea is boiling!"

Pirates and marines near there shouted urgently and quickly ran away.

...

"It's finally here."

On the execution platform, the towering Navy Admiral stood, wearing frog-like glasses and a long braided moustache on his chin, his expression particularly grave.

Earlier, he had already received reports from Impel Down.

Besides the Straw Hat Luffy's group, unknown individuals had broken into Impel Down.

Magellan's death, Impel Down's destruction, the exact number of casualties remained unclear.

Another group of intruders, the Blackbeard Pirate Group was confirmed dead to the last member.

Although Blackbeard Pirate Group's venture to Impel Down at such a crucial time was undoubtedly with malicious intent, Sengoku felt no joy at their deaths.

The flame figure in front, who killed Blackbeard and Magellan and broke into the Gate of Justice to arrive at the Navy Headquarters, was unquestionably more terrifying than ten Blackbeards combined.

Upon hearing footsteps behind, Sengoku spoke, "Garp, this is the critical moment for the navy's survival, what will you do?"

"Sengoku, do you know that flame figure?"

"I don't know."

"Then stop wasting words; at this point, the only answer we can give is to fight to the end."

Garp, with a square face and tiger-like eyes, a scar above his left eye, gray-white cropped hair, and a tall sturdy build.

His expression appeared extremely resolute, though his heart was bleeding, about to exert his utmost to protect an execution of his grandson.

Is it worth it?

Even he couldn't help but be troubled by such doubts; however, his decades-long belief, having stayed in the navy for so long.

Despite his indifference toward the title of hero, he unwittingly bore the justice of the navy.

If even a hero like him were to betray the Navy, it would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to those at the bottom and middle levels of the Navy.

Justice would completely collapse.

Garp didn't want to see such a scene; he had only one choice, to clench his fist tightly.

...

At the same time, on the Moby Dick.

Whitebeard, hailed as the world's strongest man, stood proudly at the bow of the ship. He had a pair of conspicuous crescent-shaped mustaches, stood six meters six tall, was bare-chested, and draped in a captain's coat.

In his hand, he held a large sword taller than himself, known as the supreme grade sword Cloud Cutter.

Although he was already seventy-two, his robust physique still looked as strong as ever.

Only he knew how much his strength had waned.

"Is that the Navy? No, it doesn't look like it."

Whitebeard mumbled, able to instantly melt Admiral Aokiji's ice and emit such a terrifying temperature; the opponent's strength was unquestionable.

They didn't seem like enemies.

Even as an ally, Whitebeard didn't recall knowing such a powerful friend.

"Dad, is that someone you know?"

"No, I don't know him. Temporarily avoid that direction and don't engage him."

Whitebeard commanded his men through the Den Den Mushi, falling into a moment of hesitation.

Should he make contact with them?

Engaging at this time, if the other side judged them as enemies, it would put the disadvantaged Whitebeard Pirates in a predicament.

Whitebeard was well aware of his physical state. In times of no illness, he should be able to risk everything with his strength to save Ace.

Only by rescuing Ace could the Whitebeard Pirates remain active in these seas after his death without being eliminated by other pirate groups.

The sea is very cruel.

Especially as the Whitebeard Pirates hold the most islands in the New World; in others' eyes, each island represents significant profit.

As these thoughts crossed his mind, a gigantic fiery figure suddenly disappeared from sight, followed by a warship descending from the sky.

"Ahhh!"

Listening to the screams drifting from the sky.

Standing on the execution platform, Garp's eyes widened in disbelief. He looked at the figure in the air and exclaimed, "Luffy, what are you doing here?!"

On this battlefield where the top combat forces gathered, even Vice Admirals being swept away would be unsurprising.

Let alone, given Luffy's current strength.

No matter how broad-minded Garp was, he didn't believe Luffy could defeat those people and reach him.

"Is it that man?"

Sengoku had no mind to care about Monkey D. Luffy; he quickly scanned the falling people, focusing his gaze on the sole blond man not wearing a prison uniform.

His fair shoulder bore a pentagram mark.

"Is he an enemy..."

Sengoku wasn't quite sure. Judging by the other's actions, he was clearly a rebel against the World Government.

But it didn't mean the Navy should deal with him now.

Everything must be prioritized, and the current major enemy of the Navy Headquarters was Whitebeard.

Sengoku did not want to act without ruling out the possibility of the enemy aiming for Whitebeard's head, which would place the Navy at a disadvantage.

For now, it was best to wait and see.

...

Thud.

The warship crashed into the sea.

Aozawa, just before hitting the water, used Element Replacement ability to transform into a breeze, immediately appearing at the bow of the warship.

The warship's quality was excellent; it didn't shatter from such a height.

Puff, puff, figures fell into the sea, subsequently jumping up as they were scalded, the impersonations yelping in pain.

Jinbei also fished Luffy out of the water.

The sound of footsteps thumped as Luffy rushed to Aozawa's side. Looking around, on the vast icy surface, the Navy and pirates had yet to clash. The unexpected change made both sides pause, trying to figure out who the newcomer belonged to.

Luffy looked towards the constructed execution platform in the square; from here, he couldn't see Ace clearly.

But Luffy still instinctively sensed that Ace was on that execution platform.

He took a deep breath and shouted, "Ace!"

This shout completely emptied Luffy's lung capacity, drifting to the execution platform, where the kneeling Ace screamed, "Luffy!"

The response faintly carried on the air told Luffy he hadn't come to the wrong place. "Ace, hang on, I'll save you soon!"

As he spoke, he leapt down towards the ice, heading straight for the execution platform.

Jinbei looked at Aozawa and asked, "What do you plan to do next?"

"Hey, Shark, you're being too rude to Lord Dio!"

Buggy jumped out, yelling, knowing in such a battlefield, clinging to this figure's leg was his only hope for survival.

Aozawa scanned the scene before him and chuckled lightly, "Have you ever imagined taking on the Navy Headquarters and the Whitebeard Pirates alone?"
