"That's right!"
Golden Lion laughed wildly, saying,
"War... the taste of war... it's truly nostalgic!"
His voice was filled with madness and excitement, finding a long-lost pleasure in the swirling smoke of gunpowder.
The smell of gunpowder in the air seemed to awaken the wildness hidden deep within him, making him completely frenzied.
As soon as his mad words fell, a huge shadow quickly drifted from afar, like a dark cloud shrouding the battlefield.
This was due to Golden Lion's ability; he could make any object float in the air and control these huge floating objects as he wished.
Zephyr looked up, his brow furrowed, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.
He observed the movement of the shadow, muttering to himself:
"Golden Lion's ability is as troublesome as ever."
On the other side, Garp looked eager to try.
He casually moved his palm, his knuckles making a crisp sound,
"The volume is a bit too large, I need to control my strength later."
Garp said to himself.
Tsuru sighed deeply beside him, her eyes filled with a trace of helplessness and emotion.
"The Float-Float Fruit..."
Her voice revealed a hint of worry, as this ability brought too many variables to the battle.
Just then, Golden Lion, controlling the huge shadow, laughed even more wildly, as if the entire battlefield was in his control.
The atmosphere on the battlefield reached its peak.
The sound of wind, the sound of gunfire, and the sound of roaring intertwined, forming a magnificent symphony of war.
When it was far away, the island in the sky was already huge enough.
However, when the island floated above the heads of the Marines, the sense of oppression became even more pressing, and people's heartbeats almost stopped.
The giant island in the sky was like a dark cloud overhead, covering the sky and the sun, and a shadow shrouded the entire Marine Headquarters.
Under this shadow, people felt their own insignificance and powerlessness even more.
Although the Marines who remained at the Marine Headquarters and participated in this war were elites, they couldn't help but swallow when they saw this scene.
Everyone gripped the weapons in their hands tightly, trying to suppress the fear in their hearts, but the chaotic and rapid breathing revealed their tension.
"Is this the strength of a great pirate?"
"To control such a large island so easily..."
"My God, this thing will really kill people if it falls."
The Marines' eyes were fixed on the giant island suspended in the air, as if it would crash to the ground the next second, bringing a devastating disaster.
Under this huge shadow, the Marines all had different thoughts in their minds, but what they had in common was the apprehension and unease about the upcoming battle.
"Hahahaha!!!"
A deafening laughter came from the clouds, like thunder from the sky.
The Marines looked up, and a head larger than a mountain slowly emerged from the clouds.
The head had the face of a monkey, its fangs gleaming coldly, its eyes as sharp as knives scanning the crowd below, and its burning tiger body and snake's tail were even more frightening.
"How could I miss such a lively event!"
The huge creature shouted, its voice mixed with arrogance and excitement.
As the voice fell, its burning body was finally completely revealed from behind the clouds, like a burning volcano, illuminating the entire sky.
Before, the Marines thought it was a huge light source hidden behind the clouds, but now they realized it was such a behemoth.
"Nue..."
Someone whispered, their voice filled with shock and fear.
"It's Nue!!!"
"Why is the legendary creature Nue here?!"
A Marine soldier's pupils shrank, and his instinctive fear made his voice tremble when he spoke.
This legendary monster actually appeared before their eyes, exceeding their imagination and expectations.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Marineford and the warships at sea simultaneously turned some of their firepower towards the Nue in the sky.
Countless shells roared out, covering the sky like a meteor shower, heading straight for the huge creature.
The sky was filled with artillery fire, and the huge explosions were deafening, as if the entire sky was torn apart.
The shells hit the floating island, and the huge explosion set off a sky full of dirt, gravel, and flying debris.
But the Nue seemed unscathed, its burning body still so dazzling in the fire.
After the shells hit its body, they only aroused a burst of useless sparks, as if they had no effect on it at all.
"This guy... the shells have absolutely no effect on it!"
A Marine soldier looked at this scene in disbelief, his face full of astonishment and helplessness.
The Nue shook its huge body, its whole body filled with a thick heat, and it slowly swam out of the smoke of the explosion.
Its burning body looked so hideous in the night, like a monster from hell.
It looked down from a high position, overlooking the warships and the brightly lit Marineford, its pair of tyrannical eyes flashing with a playful light.
"Your attacks can't even tickle me."
The Nue opened its wide lips, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, its voice full of contempt and ridicule.
"Kaido!!"
"Why is Kaido here?"
"Shouldn't he be fighting for territory in the New World?"
A burst of discussion arose in the crowd, and the Marines recognized the Nue's true face, their faces revealing undisguised annoyance and unease.
"I didn't expect Kaido, this turd stirrer, to come here."
Fleet Admiral Sengoku's face became more solemn, and he murmured in a low voice, his brows furrowed, looking worried.
Garp said in a deep voice:
"This guy really won't let go of this kind of opportunity to cause trouble."
Zephyr and Tsuru also felt a little headache.
They knew in their hearts that Kaido, the remnant of the Rocks Pirates, had made a considerable name for himself in the New World in recent years.
He not only challenged various powerhouses but also frequently plundered territory, and his already powerful body had now eaten the Nue form fruit, which was like adding wings to a tiger.
Kaido's figure loomed in the fire, and his huge body was daunting.
The Marines looked nervously at this behemoth, sweat dripping down their foreheads, but they gripped the weapons in their hands even tighter.
"Buru buru... buru buru..."
A burst of rapid Den Den Mushi ringing broke the tense atmosphere.
Sengoku quickly connected the Den Den Mushi, and the Den Den Mushi's small face became lifelike in an instant, outlining the speaker's appearance.
Sakazuki's low voice came from the Den Den Mushi,
"Leave the island in the sky to us."
Sengoku was slightly stunned, but quickly replied:
"Sakazuki, are you ready?"
"Yes, we will shoot it down before it reaches Marineford!"
Sakazuki's voice was full of confidence, without a trace of doubt about completing this task.
Sengoku looked at the giant island gradually approaching in the sky, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He said calmly to the Den Den Mushi,
"Okay, be careful."
"Don't worry."
Sakazuki answered briefly, his arm turned into magma, and red light flowed in his eyes.
