Chapter 95 - That Year, I Became the Light

"If you want a war, then I'll give you a 'war'!"

At the bow of the ship, his naginata held high, Whitebeard roared into the sky.

It seemed to be a signal. As the pirate emperor raised his naginata, the surrounding sea of Marineford began to quake violently.

"Seismic... Tsunami!"

With a mighty swing, the space shattered.

The old man glared furiously, raising his hand to unleash an endless torrent.

A colossal tsunami surged forth, ready to engulf everything!

"Tch, what a bother."

On the edge of the fortress, Aokiji saw the tsunami, large enough to swallow half of Marineford, and clicked his tongue in annoyance. Though he looked lazy as always, his body moved with lightning speed, leaping into the air.

"Ice Age."

Frost covered half of his body as Aokiji extended his hands forward, unleashing the power of his Ice-Ice Fruit.

Cold air spread.

An ice age emerged!

Whitebeard, watching Aokiji put his hands back in his pockets from a distance, squinted his eyes.

The tsunami failed to break the navy's strict defenses.

But...

It didn't matter.

The spectacle had drawn enough attention.

The old man smirked.

"It's up to you now, kid."

I blink.

I blink again.

And once more!

Jon's maximum blink distance was about two kilometers.

He wasn't sure how far it was from the port to the execution platform, but he figured a few hundred blinks should do it.

A man must endure.

A few hundred blinks, no problem.

Unlike some people who turn a five-second time stop into two seconds...

(Mysterious narrator: "Yare yare.")

Thanks to the commotion caused by Whitebeard and Aokiji, Jon easily bypassed the marine formation and quietly approached the execution platform.

Once on the platform, he quickly surveyed the area, then rushed to Luffy's side and kicked him hard.

"You're up!"

Luffy, bound by sea prism stone chains, didn't know what was happening before he was kicked.

The next second, he found himself in an unfamiliar place!

"Luffy!"

Guarding the "teleportation gate," Ace was overjoyed.

His good brother delivered!

Luffy was the first, Zoro was the second, Usopp was the third, and Robin was the fourth...

Jon kept moving, treating everyone the same.

Regardless of gender, it was a clean, swift kick.

By the time Sengoku noticed the commotion behind him, only Nami and Chopper were left on the platform.

The fleet admiral was stunned.

Then he roared, "How dare you!"

Jon remained unfazed.

In an instant, he layered himself with buffs.

Emperor's Engine! Armament Haki Enhancement! Hamon Overdrive! Iron Body. Fragment!

The power of hardness and flexibility focused on his right fist.

Did you eat?

If not, eat my punch!

Despite his vast battle experience, Sengoku caught off guard, was struck head-on by the "Blazing Void Strike" and knocked off the platform.

Hearing the noise, the marines instinctively turned around and were stunned.

Garp and the undercover marine among the prisoners, X Drake, were stunned.

The three admirals, who had been sitting leisurely, were stunned.

Even the Whitebeard Pirates, who knew of the surprise attack and himself, were stunned.

What did they see?

The fleet admiral, "Buddha Sengoku," defeated in one blow?

Time seemed to stand still.

Jon maintained his punching stance, his expression calm.

Sorry.

This time...

I nailed it again.

No, no, now's not the time for that!

Grabbing Nami with one hand and Chopper with the other, Jon jumped into the "teleportation gate" and emerged on the deck of the Moby Dick.

Dropping them off, he shouted to Whitebeard at the bow, "Old man, the rescue is complete, time to retreat!"

Whitebeard, snapping out of it, laughed heartily, "Gurararara, my foolish sons, it's time to sail back!"

With that, he exerted his strength.

"Earthquake!"

Crack.

The ground shook, revealing jagged fissures.

The battlefield split in two.

Amid the chaos, Whitebeard's pirates began to retreat.

Akainu couldn't sit still.

If they let the Whitebeard Pirates leave like this, the navy would be eternally shamed!

He sprang to his feet.

But before Akainu could act.

Suddenly, golden light burst from below the execution platform!

"To dare act so brazenly in Marineford." Transformed into a giant Buddha, Sengoku's voice was icy. "Jon Joestar, you deserve death!"

The world was shocked!

Jon: ???

Wait, did you recognize me after a single exchange?

Unbeknownst to him, in Sengoku's heart, Jon, who had caused havoc in Impel Down and rescued Portgas D. Ace, was already more hated than most pirates.

In other words, Jon had long been on Sengoku's hit list...

The cocoon of his Stand began to glow with excitement deep in Jon's soul.

Jon smirked.

Offending the abbot (crossed out).

Offending the fleet admiral.

After this, his bounty was sure to rise again.

I was just thinking about it.

Jon's body inexplicably grew taller!

Simultaneously, golden light emanated from his body.

He paused in surprise.

Then sighed, pinching his brow.

What he'd just done had likely been broadcast live.

Rescuing people under Sengoku's nose, his "legendary status" must have soared.

Umm, according to the little D fellow, this was called deepening his "world imprint."

Anyway, through his bizarre actions, he had greatly increased his authority in this world, naturally acquiring one of its abilities.

For example, transforming into a giant Buddha.

"To think I would steal right under his nose." Jon blushed. "The original owner is right here!"

A warrior of purity forced to become a cuckold.

This feeling...

Thrilling!

"The root of chaos must be eradicated, this sea needs cleansing!

Marines, we must not let Jon Joestar and Portgas D. Ace escape.

For justice, we must execute these two!"

The fleet admiral resembled an angry Vajra.

Raising a hand, golden light gathered.

Seeing this, Whitebeard raised his naginata high.

Ace was his son, and Jon was his chosen successor.

He couldn't sit by and do nothing.

The "Impact Force" and "Seismic Force" clashed.

The battle resumed!

Akainu joined the fray with a stern face.

Though Aokiji and Kizaru were reluctant, as admirals, they had to show their stance.

The expressions of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" varied.

Whitebeard grinned, "Gurararara, as long as I draw breath, no one can harm them!"

Then Jon, without a word, leaped from the Moby Dick.

Golden light shining, he grew dozens of meters tall.

Not only that, but a glowing halo appeared behind his head.

Human-Human Fruit, Model Buddha (X)

Giant of Light (√)

A giant, standing tall upon the earth!

The wind blew, and silence fell.
