"This is Doma, the Knight of the Round Table, Thunder Lord McGuy, the Decalvan Brothers, and Great Whirlpool Spider Squard. Behind them are all the allied pirate crews under Whitebeard."
The enemy forces advanced directly toward the Marine positions, causing visible tension among the ranks. These were not ordinary pirates, they were infamous figures from the New World.
As the fleet drew closer, dozens of massive coastal cannons along the harbor slowly adjusted their aim. Once the enemy entered firing range, the 800mm artillery would unleash devastating firepower.
When Fleet Admiral Sengoku realized there were only forty-three pirate ships, his expression darkened.
"That's not right. Whitebeard isn't here. Investigate imdiately and find out what he's planning."
Before the Marines could act, bubbles began surfacing at the center of the crescent-shaped bay. Sengoku's eyes widened as he understood the situation, but it was already too late.
Four enormous whale-shaped ships erupted from beneath the sea. Each vessel, nearly one hundred ters long, was coated in a golden film. They rose in perfect formation.
An alarm blared across the battlefield.
"It's Whitebeard's flagship, the Moby Dick, along with his sixteen division commanders."
The sudden ambush in the center threw the Marine forces into chaos. Their original plan to weaken the enemy with long-range artillery had failed, forcing them into imdiate close combat.
Standing atop the Moby Dick, the towering Whitebeard, over six ters tall, wore only a white cape across his broad shoulders. His chest bore countless scars, each one a mark left by powerful enemies he had once faced.
Surrounded by his crew, he looked toward Sengoku with a calm, almost amused expression.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, it's been a while. Thanks for taking care of my sons."
"Whitebeard…"
The two longti rivals locked eyes across the battlefield. Sengoku's face grew even more serious. His carefully constructed defense had been broken too easily.
A Marine scout raised his binoculars, observing the forces surrounding Whitebeard.
"First Division Commander Marco, Third Division Commander Diamond Jozu, Fifth Division Commander Vista, and the remaining commanders are all present."
The tension in the air beca suffocating.
Whitebeard moved first.
He clenched both fists, a white aura forming around them, then struck the air on either side.

The air itself cracked like glass. Vibrations spread outward across the sea. The ocean level dipped montarily before rising violently.
On both sides of Marineford, massive tsunamis surged upward, towering hundreds of ters high, descending like collapsing mountains.
Panic spread among the lower-ranking Marines.
"This is insane, we're going to die."
"Where are the Admirals?"
Among the ranks, Hina exchanged a glance with Smoker. Both understood the danger. As Devil Fruit users, being caught in the sea would an certain death.
Before the waves could crash down, Admiral Aokiji leapt into the air. From his hands, he launched streams of ice that instantly froze both tsunamis, turning them into enormous ice formations.
Without hesitation, Aokiji fired multiple ice spears at Whitebeard. The attacks shattered instantly upon contact with Whitebeard's quake-infused strike. Aokiji's body broke apart into ice fragnts and fell into the sea.
For a brief mont, the pirates began to react, but the situation shifted again.
Aokiji, subrged, froze the surrounding sea over several kiloters, creating a vast frozen battlefield that prevented the pirate ships from advancing further.
The Marines regained their composure.
"Don't fear Whitebeard. We have the Admirals and Fleet Admiral Sengoku."
"Charge. Kill them and rescue Ace."
Both sides surged forward.
The war had begun.
Cannons roared as the harbor batteries targeted the Moby Dick, blasting holes into its hull. The pirate ships responded with equal force, returning fire across the battlefield.
Explosions erupted across the ice.
Vice Admirals led the Marine forces, clashing against Whitebeard's division commanders. For a ti, neither side gained a clear advantage.
Blanco, the Sixth Division Commander, charged forward, pulling a massive hamr from his pocket and sweeping aside every Marine in his path. No one could withstand even a single strike.
His advance was halted by Vice Admiral Onigumo, who controlled multiple dark blades through his hair. The two faced each other, neither willing to yield.
Across the battlefield, powerful figures found their equals. Commanders clashed with commanders, while soldiers fought desperately below.
Whitebeard stood firm, casually shattering incoming cannon fire with his fists, watching his crew with a satisfied smile.
Then, a shift occurred.
Dracule Mihawk stepped forward.
The movent alone sent ripples through both sides. Many Marines and even the other Warlords were surprised. Few expected him to participate.
Mihawk paid no attention to their reactions. His only focus was Whitebeard.
He drew his black blade, Yoru, and swung it with precision. A powerful green slash cut through the air, heading straight toward Whitebeard.
Before it could reach its target, a massive figure appeared in its path.
Diamond Jozu.
His body transford into diamond as he blocked the attack head-on. Gritting his teeth, he redirected the slash upward into the sky.
The air trembled as the attack dispersed.
That single exchange revealed the imnse strength on both sides.
Jozu imdiately counterattacked, lifting a massive chunk of frozen sea nearly eighty ters wide and hurling it toward the Marine forces.
The enormous projectile descended like a falling teor.
"Great Eruption."
Akainu stepped forward, his arm transforming into magma. With a single punch, he shattered the ice and ignited it, turning the fragnts into blazing projectiles that rained back toward the pirates.
Explosions echoed across the battlefield.
Ships were damaged, the frozen sea cracked, and flas spread across the ice.
That overwhelming counterattack gave the Marines a brief but clear advantage.
