Chapter 115 115: Arrival!
Frozen Battlefield — Marineford Bay
On the frozen sea, several renowned Marine Vice Admirals stood at the front of their troops.
Onigumo, Doberman, Strawberry, and other elite officers formed a solid line before the Marines.
Their towering figures gave the soldiers behind them a sense of security.
They were not disposable cannon fodder.
Marine forces surrounded two of the Whitebeard Pirates' main ships, leaving only the Moby Dick, where Whitebeard himself stood.
Meanwhile, allied pirate crews under Whitebeard charged forward under their captains' leadership.
Admiral Kizaru Makes His Move
On the execution platform, Admiral Kizaru adjusted his brown-tinted sunglasses and gazed toward the iceberg battlefield.
"How terrifying…"
"As expected of the Whitebeard Pirates' commanders. Each one is a monster."
He slowly stood up, hands in his pockets, golden light reflecting in his glasses.
"If we want to minimize casualties…"
"Then we'll have to capture the king first."
The moment he finished speaking—
Kizaru transformed into a streak of golden light and shot toward Whitebeard.
His figure rose into the sky.
He spread both arms.
Countless golden light bullets rained down across the heavens.
"Yasakani no Magatama."
Marco Intercepts
Facing the overwhelming barrage of light, Whitebeard frowned.
"Why is it so bright…?"
Before he even lifted a hand—
A blue phoenix suddenly soared upward.
The endless light bullets exploded violently in midair.
Yet from the center of the explosions emerged a figure completely unharmed.
Blue flames burned across his wings.
His pineapple-shaped blond hair fluttered in the wind.
His voice was arrogant.
"How can we let you disturb our king the moment you arrive?"
The Marines below stared in disbelief.
"Impossible…!"
"An Admiral's attack was blocked?!"
"What kind of body is that?!"
"So it's that legendary ability…"
Kizaru calmly observed him.
"Even rarer than Logia types…"
"A Mythical Zoan."
He spoke the name clearly.
Marco the Phoenix
Commander of the 1st Division of the Whitebeard Pirates
Bounty: 1,374,000,000 Berries
Marco grinned provocatively.
The next moment—
A blue flame and a golden beam of light collided violently in the sky.
Marco and Kizaru clashed midair, their kicks locking together as shockwaves exploded outward.
"Come on!"
"Let me see the strength of a Marine Admiral!"
Marco's eyes burned with battle spirit.
"Oh?"
Kizaru smiled faintly.
Their figures blurred through the sky at speeds impossible to follow with the naked eye.
Luffy's Group Arrives
Meanwhile—
On top of a massive iceberg, a damaged Marine warship was filled with people wearing black-and-white prison uniforms.
They were the escapees from Impel Down.
"Hey! What's going on?!"
Buggy leaned over the ship's bow.
"The ocean's frozen! We can't move at all!"
Above them, Luffy, Sabo, and the others stood atop the iceberg, looking down at the battlefield.
Countless tiny figures clashed below like ants in a massive war.
The sounds of killing shook the sky.
"So the tsunami was Old Man Whitebeard's declaration of war…"
"And the ice was Admiral Aokiji's work."
With just one glance, Jinbe understood the situation.
"Everyone, step back."
Luffy's calm voice carried unquestionable authority.
The others exchanged glances and retreated.
"Straw Hat! The Marines are going to execute Ace early!"
Buggy ran down from the ship in panic.
"I know."
Luffy's expression remained calm.
The salty sea wind flapped his black cloak violently.
Then—
RUMBLE!!
The aura surrounding Luffy began rising endlessly.
As if there were no limits.
When it reached a critical point—
Black lightning erupted around him like countless serpents.
Conqueror's Haki.
Crocodile's pupils shrank in shock.
At the same time—
That terrifying aura could no longer be hidden.
Across the battlefield, several top-tier fighters looked up.
Sengoku.
Garp.
Dracule Mihawk.
They all turned their gazes toward the iceberg.
"Damn it… he still came."
Sengoku clenched his fists.
"Luffy!!"
Garp clutched his head in anguish.
He had been worrying about his adopted grandson—
Now his real grandson had arrived too.
Mihawk narrowed his eyes.
His hand slowly reached for the Supreme Grade Blade — Yoru.
Let me see…
What kind of man you are…
Straw Hat Luffy.
Nearby, Boa Hancock stood frozen in place.
Her eyes sparkled with love.
"All men disgust me… except for that one."
"Lord Luffy… is so handsome!"
Kuzan vs Luffy
Elsewhere on the battlefield—
Kuzan glanced at Kizaru, who was locked in battle with Marco.
Then he glanced at Akainu, who still stood unmoving with a grim expression.
Finally he looked back at Vista.
Vista's body was already covered in frost.
Ice clung to his arms, shoulders, and face.
Even his breath turned to mist.
"…Looks like I need to finish this quickly."
Kuzan's lazy face finally showed seriousness.
His right arm transformed into crystal-clear ice.
Cold mist drifted through the air.
Luffy Makes His Move
At that moment—
The immense aura rising from the iceberg intensified.
The once-clear sky darkened with black lightning.
Both Marines and pirates felt their movements slow.
Their breathing became heavy.
Everyone looked upward in shock.
That small figure on the iceberg—
Released Conqueror's Haki like a raging demon.
"What… what is that?!"
Even those without Observation Haki could sense the overwhelming threat.
Then—
Luffy moved.
His iron fist dragged countless strands of black lightning as he descended from the sky like a meteor.
"Galaxy Impact!"
The battlefield trembled violently.
Both Marines and pirates froze in fear.
This was the fate of the weak.
"Ahh… so you're serious."
Kuzan adjusted his glasses.
He lowered his stance.
CRACK!
The frozen battlefield shattered with spiderweb-like cracks.
WHOOSH!
Kuzan shot upward like an arrow.
The cold wind swept across his face.
In his glasses' reflection—
Luffy looked like a descending demon.
Ice condensed around Kuzan's hand.
His Armament Haki formed a perfect defensive armor.
The moment he clenched his fist—
Time seemed to slow.
"Ice Gauntlet."
Clash of Power
BOOM!!!
The instant their fists collided—
The world shook.
The air shattered layer by layer.
Clouds were crushed apart by the explosive shockwaves.
Black lightning and blue ice formed a perfect dividing line in the sky—
Beautiful.
And utterly destructive.
Everyone below stared in awe.
"Well… we meet again, kid."
Kuzan spoke calmly.
But freezing cold spread from his fist.
In an instant, Luffy's arm was sealed in ice.
"Heh…"
"Kuzan."
"I'm not the same person I was a week ago."
Luffy grinned.
His Haki exploded outward—
CRACK!
The ice shattered instantly.
Black lightning flooded into his arm.
His strength surged dramatically.
Behind his glasses—
Kuzan froze in shock.
A violent electric force surged through his body.
It ravaged his organs.
It numbed his nerves.
His strength weakened.
Then—
BOOM!
Luffy's punch smashed directly into Kuzan's face.
Black lightning and shockwaves blasted him into the frozen sea.
The ice cracked open violently.
When the dust settled—
A massive crater over one hundred meters wide appeared in the frozen battlefield.
Black lightning continued to crackle within it.
"M-My God…"
"A-Admiral… was defeated?!"
The Marines stared at the enormous crater in disbelief.
They never imagined—
That an Admiral of the Marines could lose.
