Ace is Taken Away
After being grabbed by Teach for a while, Marco directly took a punch from him.
Marco stepped back twice, creating distance between himself and Teach, his brows furrowed as he stared intently at Teach.
"No wonder Shanks warned us to be careful of Teach!"
"Turns out this guy physical combat skills are also incredibly strong!" Marco thought to himself silently.
Moreover, combined with that unpredictable devil fruit ability of his that could nulify powers, Marco found Teach even more troublesome!
But if Pops could injure him, then Marco could too!
Since Teach could absorb devil fruit powers, Marco decided to abandon using his abilities and instead rely on his physical combat skills to face Teach head-on!
With his guard up, Marco clashed fiercely with Teach.
....
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield.
Whitebeard swung his massive blade, shattering countless ice pillars in an instant! A terrifying blade of wind rushed toward Admiral Aokiji face at breakneck speed.
Aokiji frowned slightly, raising his left hand as a thick ice wall erupted from the ground. In the next moment, the blade of wind struck the wall. The ice wall was deeply gouged by the force of the slash!
As the battle grew increasingly intense. Under the cover of the ice wall, Aokiji quickly pulled out a shimmering gold-purple teleportation talisman from his chest. It was one of the two intermediate teleportation talismans that Garp had confiscated from Vista ship.
Aokiji gestured to Kizaru nearby. Though unsure of Aokiji intentions, Kizaru flew straight over.
"Kizaru, this is something Fleet Admiral Sengoku gave me before we left, just in case!"
"Now, Akainu and I will hold off Whitebeard. You seize the moment, grab Ace, and teleport away!"
"Then bring Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp for reinforcements!" Aokiji spoke rapidly.
Because in the next moment, with Aokiji and Kizaru no longer restraining him, Whitebeard began to overpower Akainu.
Seeing this, the two admirals nodded at each other and charged toward Whitebeard.
In an instant, Aokiji even abandoned his long-range attacks, gripping a wooden branch that was instantly frozen by his chilling aura, forming a frost-covered ice sword.
Kizaru also roared.
"Ama no Murakumo!" A light sword was materialize by Kizaru.
Akainu once again enveloped his fists in magma and charged forward. In a flash, the weapons and fists of the four clashed, turning the center of the island into a veritable meat grinder! No one dared to step into that zone lightly!
"Ice Spears!"
"Magma Hound!" Moments later, Aokiji and Akainu exchanged a glance and unleashed their respective skills. Two long, thin, yet incredibly sturdy ice spears appeared in Aokiji hands, which he hurled straight at Whitebeard chest!
Meanwhile, Akainu rapidly extended his magma-coated arm to strike at Whitebeard.
This attack was not only incredibly fast but also extraordinarily powerful! Whitebeard roared as he swung his bisento, Murakumogiri, in a horizontal slash, clashing with the ice spear and the magma fist!
At that moment, Admiral Kizaru finally seized the opportunity!
"Yata Mirror!" Admiral Kizaru shouted.
He then gathered a mirror-like light in his hand, which reflected and bounced beams off surrounding targets, creating a path of light that allowed him to move at the speed of light. His destination was the distant location where Fire Fist Ace was being held.
Seeing this, Whitebeard immediately realized he had been tricked! He immediately charged toward Ace location!
But Admirals Aokiji and Akainu would never let Whitebeard have his way! The two immediately intensified their attacks. Feeling the terrifying strikes aimed at his vitals from behind, Whitebeard had no choice but to grit his teeth and counterattack.
Marco also noticed this sudden turn of events. He immediately tried to disengage, aiming to reach Ace first.
"Trying to leave?"
"Get back here!"
"Black Vortex!" Teach sneered. He then used the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to release a wide area of darkness on the ground. Anyone or anything touched by the darkness would be sucked in, compressed, and crushed. This ability was akin to a small black hole, with a vast range.
Marco, naturally, was within the range of the vortex, and his movement instantly halted. To avoid being sucked into the Black Vortex, Marco had to keep pushing forward, but his speed was drastically slowed!
Meanwhile, Kizaru using the Yata Mirror, moved at an incredible speed! In just a couple of breaths, he had already reached Ace.
Seeing Kizaru land beside him, Ace felt a sense of foreboding.
"Kizaru, stop it!" At that moment, Whitebeard eyes turned bloodshot as he roared at Kizaru. A tremendous force erupted from him, sending Admirals Akainu and Aokiji, who were engaged in close combat with him, flying backward.
But Kizaru wasn't intimidated by this. He directly pulled out the intermediate teleportation talisman that Aokiji had handed him earlier!
Marco, witnessing this, was shocked.
"An intermediate teleportation talisman!" Marco exclaimed in disbelief.
Whitebeard charged forward relentlessly, with Aokiji and Akainu hot on his heels. Countless attacks rained down on Whitebeard back like they were free.
But this time, Whitebeard didn't even look back, his eyes fixed solely on Ace, who was now in Kizaru grasp!
However, the activation time for the intermediate teleportation talisman was too short. A golden-purple light instantly enveloped Kizaru and Ace, and in the next moment, the two vanished!
"No!"
"Damn it!" Whitebeard roared in fury. The feeling of watching his child disappear before his eyes filled Whitebeard with rage and despair!
Marco also slumped to the ground, stunned.
The only ones left shocked by this scene wereTeach and his crew except lafitte! What kind of technique is this? Admiral Kizaru actually disappeared with Ace! Teach could no longer sense any trace of Ace or Kizaru!
Whitebeard turned around sharply, his bisento, Murakumogiri, slashing fiercely towards Admiral Aokiji and Admiral Akainu!
