Chapter 28: Chapter 27
The Navy's shells, rather than causing any harm to the Moby Dick, had an adverse effect on the Navy's own fortifications, leaving many Navy personnel stunned.
"Na…Nani?!" Quite a few Navy officers had wide-eyed, astonished expressions.
"Keep an eye on those two waves of attacks. If we let them hit, the entire square will sustain significant damage."
In the rear, Admiral Kizaru, the yellow ape, sat on the right side and leaned forward, scratching his head with his right hand. He commented, "Hey, doesn't it seem like the sea is favoring the Whitebeard Pirates?"
[T/L: Yup, the OG author doesn't like Kizaru]
The abrupt and sudden cessation of the strong wind had no impact on the Moby Dick at this point. This situation led some of the Navy officers to entertain absurd thoughts.
Admiral Kuzan, seated to the left, remained silent.
Then, he rose slowly, his body shrouded in icy air, and leaped into the air, appearing above the inner bay.
[T/L: it's the OG Author's words, not mine!]
"Ice Age."
Ice spears materialized between Kuzan's hands and pierced into the sea. In an instant, the turbulent waters settled, transforming into a thick layer of ice.
On the Moby Dick.
The Whitebeards pirates themselves were also shocked by what had just happened. Aren't they a bunch of pirates?
They had a feeling that they were favoured by the seas, not to mention, what just happened in front of their eyes.
Seeing this, they all became excited.
Marko smiled as he looked at Whitebeard, "Their morale has soared."
However, only whitebeard's expression and thoughts were different from the rest…... His eyes were sharp and shocked as he stared at Adonis bathed in the sunlight.
'What the hell is this man?!' Whitebeard thought in a state of daze. But this is not the time to think too much.
Whitebeard shook his head as he stood up and grabbed his Naginata, looking at the thick ice that leads to Marine ford inner bay.
The corners of Whitebeard mouth slightly raised. "Gurarara, little ones, go! Go and bring Ace back intact!"
"Yes, Dad!" Several Whitebeard pirates shouted together in unison.
FWISH!
The energized pirates raised their weapons and let out a thunderous roar. They jumped onto the ice one by one and charged toward Marineford, where the great battle loomed.
The artillery thundered and the battlefield resounded with the cries of Generals, Lieutenant Generals, Warlords, and captains, all engaged in the intense conflict. The fighting escalated as time passed.
However, despite the fierce skirmishes and advancements, none of them managed to reach the execution platform or make contact with Ace and the two executioners.
Nami, on the deck of the Moby Dick, anxiously pursed her lips. Her gaze darted back and forth between the execution platform and the sky, filled with apprehension.
Soon.
"Ace!!!"
A voice filled with anxiety and joy echoed through the sky. Luffy, accompanied by the pirates he had brought from Impel Down, arrived just in the nick of time.
"Luffy!" Nami's eyes lit up with excitement as she waved her hand and shouted loudly. Her voice cut through the chaos of the battlefield and reached Luffy's ears.
Luffy couldn't help but be stunned as he flew through the air. Turning his head, he saw Nami standing on the deck of the Moby Dick.
His gaze became incredibly complex. While he was relieved that his partner was safe and sound, but then, he wondered why she had come to such a dangerous place.
But Nami didn't overthink it. She turned her attention to Adonis, pointed at Luffy, and said with enthusiasm, "Lord Guardian, that person is my partner."
Adonis glanced at Luffy and offered a slight smile. "Nami, remember what I told you? Place your thoughts in the wind and then entrust them to miracles."
Nami found herself momentarily stunned by Adonis's unexpected request. Could she truly protect Luffy? Doubts clouded her mind, but then she remembered all the incredible miracles they had experienced on their journey.
Since Lord Guardian believed in her, she knew she could do it. It was time for a change, time to step up and protect her companions.
Nami closed her eyes, whispered, "Please, the power to protect my companion, I need the power to protect my companions," and then took a deep breath. With newfound determination, she jumped off the deck and charged into the battle.
Luffy, seeing her actions, called out anxiously, "Nami! It's too dangerous here! What are you doing? Get back here!"
It was then that Sengoku revealed another astonishing truth.
"Straw Hat Luffy is the son of the Revolutionary Army Dragon!"
"….."
'Bruh….' After the initial shock, the Navy officers regrouped. One by one, they aimed their guns at Luffy.
However, one Navy officer had different intentions. He pointed at Nami, who was on the move, and shouted, "That pirate is the companion of the Straw Hat kid! Capture her!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As many Navy officers turned their guns toward Nami, her face showed signs of panic.
However, she quickly composed herself and took a deep breath, reminding herself that Lord Guardian was watching and miracles were at her side.
With determination in her heart, she believed that she could make it to Luffy's side.
In that very moment, a golden light flashed on Nami's chest and seamlessly merged with her body.
Adonis, the only one to notice this change, furrowed his brow as he looked at Nami's back running into the battlefield.
He muttered thoughtfully, "So, that's what it is... It seems like I was... No, it doesn't matter. It appears to be a variation of the "Paths," a subtle form of guidance. A new path, an uncharted path? Not to mention, a path under me, huh? Interesting."
[T/L: In the original, from what I understood, the MC is an existence closer to that of an Aeon, but he's not currently a full-fledged Aeon yet.]
[But what happened was that Nami believed so much in the MC that the Mc's powers itself granted Nami abilities, like how the Path systems in Star rails works.]
[Do you understand? No? Good!]
A small smile graced the corners of Adonis's mouth as he shifted his attention elsewhere. "Very well, then."
Meanwhile.
On the chaotic battlefield, dozens of Navy officers took aim at Nami and pressed their triggers. However, just as the bullets were about to be ejected from the barrels, an unexpected occurrence took place.
"Ahhh!"
In an instant, whether they were Navy officers or pirates, numerous figures appeared in front of the guns, unexpectedly shielding Nami from the bullets.
"Huh?"
The gunners were bewildered, looking at one another in surprise.
Accidents were a common occurrence on the battlefield, but what was happening was currently beyond coincidence.
They couldn't help but feel that something unusual was happening. Despite their doubts, they reloaded their weapons once more.
This time, however...
Before they could take aim again, chaos erupted. Some of them were struck by pink arrows, which turned them into stone statues.
Others felt the searing heat of cyan flames on their bodies and screamed in agony, and some found themselves standing on ice that suddenly cracked beneath their feet, causing them to plummet into the freezing water.
Accidents happen again!
Such a strange scene is inevitably seen by people with intentions. One of the people suddenly said, "Is it luck?"
