[Golden Lion Shiki: Gehahahaha, Whitebeard, you're still as powerful as ever! Keep it up, wipe out all those Marines!]
[Eustass Kid: The world's strongest man truly lives up to his reputation. I wonder how big the gap is between him and me.]
[Marine 1: Great! Admiral Aokiji made his move! He actually froze Whitebeard solid! So powerful!]
[Pirate 1: No way? The so-called strongest Whitebeard was dealt with just like that?]
[Marco the Phoenix: You're thinking of Pops too simply. Just wait and see Pops is about to counterattack.]
[Pirate 2: Oh my god! He actually shattered the ice ball and stabbed right through Aokiji?!]
[Marine 2: Was Admiral Aokiji killed by Whitebeard just like that?]
[Marine 3: Idiot! That's an Admiral! How could he be taken down so easily? Look, the Admiral has reappeared!]
After seeing Aokiji get stabbed, many Marines who were worried about him turned their attention back to the video.
〖It turned out that before Whitebeard's blade landed, Aokiji had already preemptively turned his body into its elemental form.
And since Whitebeard hadn't infused his blade with Haki, this move didn't actually harm Aokiji.
Thus, Aokiji launched another attack at Whitebeard. Unfortunately, before his attack could fully materialize, Diamond Jozu charged out violently.
He slammed directly into Aokiji's frozen body, shattering it. Aokiji was injured by this, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.〗
[Pirate 1: ??? Did I see that correctly? One of the Three Admirals, hailed as the Marines' highest combat power, was directly defeated by a Whitebeard Pirates division commander?]
[Marine 1: What nonsense are you spouting? Admiral Aokiji didn't lose at all!]
[Pirate 2: Even if he didn't lose, he was still made to bleed. Whitebeard hasn't even made a move yet, and he's already injured because of a division commander. If this is the Marines' strength, it's pretty weak.]
[Marine 2: The Admiral just didn't notice the pirate's sneak attack! In a real fight, that Diamond Jozu is no match for Admiral Aokiji.]
[Whitebeard Pirates 3rd Division Crewmember: That remains to be seen! Our Commander Jozu's diamond body is incredibly tough. Even facing the Three Admirals head-on, he wouldn't fear them at all.]
[Marine 3: Hmph, just keep watching then. Admiral Aokiji will definitely teach your commander a lesson.]
On the Sky Screen, the fact that Diamond Jozu injured Aokiji sparked constant arguments between Marines and pirates.
They all turned their attention to the video, anticipating the subsequent developments.
However, at this point, the video's perspective shifted away from the previous scene to focus on Straw Hat Luffy.
〖Due to the Whitebeard Pirates' sudden invasion, large numbers of Marines were diverted to fight them.
As a result, the attacks Luffy faced decreased significantly, but this also brought him into greater danger.
Vice Admiral Momonga suddenly blocked Luffy's path. "Straw Hat Luffy, I, Momonga, hereby stake my reputation as a Marine Vice Admiral I will absolutely not let you pass through here!"
After righteously declaring this, Momonga's figure instantly shot in front of Luffy, slashing at him with his sword.
Luffy hurriedly dodged but was still wounded.
Then another Marine Vice Admiral, the Dalmatian-human hybrid Vice Admiral Stainless, suddenly appeared and sent Luffy flying.
Having already sustained considerable damage, Luffy's body had reached its limit. After being sent flying, he fell to the ground, unable to get up.
But the danger Luffy faced wasn't limited to just two Vice Admirals. The next instant, he was blasted away by an explosion.
Admiral Kizaru suddenly appeared before Luffy. "So you see, courage alone is useless. Straw Hat Luffy, what you lack is necessary power.
Without power, nothing you want to do can succeed.
Things that can't be saved no matter how hard you try, even if you sacrifice your life cannot be saved.
You should understand this by now. So, it's about time for you to disappear."
As he spoke, Kizaru raised his right foot, which began to glow intensely, preparing to bring it down.〗
[Boa Hancock: Luffy! Where am I at this time? Why didn't I come to save Luffy?]
[Urouge the Mad Monk: From Impel Down to the summit battlefield, Straw Hat has already been through numerous battles. His body must have truly reached its limit.]
[X Drake: Will he be rescued like before this time?]
[Capone Bege: This time, it might really be impossible. Everyone else is occupied, and there's no one near Straw Hat.]
[Trafalgar D. Water Law: Is this really it for Straw Hat-ya?]
[Jewelry Bonney: Facing two Marine Vice Admirals and one Admiral... Straw Hat can't possibly survive.]
[God Usopp: Impossible! Luffy would never stop here!]
[Roronoa Zoro: That's right! Don't underestimate our captain!]
[Tony Tony Chopper: But Luffy is really badly injured! He needs a doctor! Why can't I be by his side right now!]
[Gecko Moria: Hahahaha, well done! Just crush Straw Hat's head underfoot!]
[Donquixote Doflamingo: Fufufufu, Straw Hat, who captured the world's attention—his life is finally about to end.]
[Pirate 1: Look! Kizaru is kicking!]
Since everyone was focused on the upcoming development, they all held their breath the moment Kizaru swung his right foot, awaiting the final outcome.
〖"Just disappear."
Kizaru shouted, seemingly kicking down hard with his right foot.
However, when his attack landed on Luffy, it became weak and soft just a gentle tap.
Moreover, he actually kicked Luffy right into Whitebeard's arms.〗
[Pirate 1: ???]
[Pirate 2: What is that Kizaru doing? Why did he kick Straw Hat to Whitebeard? Shouldn't he have kicked Straw Hat's head off?]
[Pirate 3: Yeah! It was such a perfect opportunity—Straw Hat was lying there, unable to move! Even if he couldn't kick his head off, shouldn't he have at least inflicted serious injuries? What's with this move?]
[Pirate 4: I don't get it. I really don't get it. Doing it this way... it almost feels like he's protecting Straw Hat.]
[Marine 1: How could he possibly be protecting Straw Hat? Admiral Kizaru must have... must have done it because he didn't want to attack someone who couldn't resist! Yes, that must be it!]
[Pirate 5: Hearing you say that, even you don't believe it yourself.]
[Pirate 6: So what's the real reason? Is Kizaru an 'acting monkey'?]
