Chapter 573: Dominance Overflowing

This strike killed thousands of Navy soldiers, and it was the first time Ian had killed so many people in one go, naturally making him feel uneasy.

However, he didn’t show it on his face because he understood very well—it was war!

Aside from those killed in combat by swords or guns, there were also those who had fallen into the sea and been devoured by ferocious sea beasts. The casualties were significant on both sides, but without the resolve to be killed, what was the point of stepping onto the battlefield?

Sighing, Ian looked at his empty Nen value and then raised his head to the sky behind him. There, a dark circular shadow was gradually dissipating, an anomaly produced after the collapse of space, ominously darkening the atmosphere.

With his task of clearing the area completed, numerous black dots in the clouds above were now drifting towards the ground—it was the Hunter Dragon Pirates.

“I see!” Aokiji also looked up and noticed the appearance of the Hunter Dragon Pirates. Finally recovering from his weakness, he remarked, “Is it to ensure they land safely without being attacked?”

Ian glanced at him without saying a word, but indeed, that was the case. Not every member of the Hunter Dragon Pirates was strong enough to ignore Navy attacks. They had to descend using balloons, and during this process, if they were attacked by the Navy, casualties would still be significant.

And now, after Ian had directly cleared the area, a huge space within a radius of two kilometers had been cleared out. The members of the Hunter Dragon Pirates could safely descend.

Marco and the others finally regained their senses from their shock. They looked up at the reinforcements above, the pirates under the Whitebeard Pirates’ banner, and then burst into cheers, looking at each other in amazement.

Clearly, Ian’s appearance and his powerful move proved that the Hunter Dragon Pirates were an incredibly formidable support! Just as the Whitebeard Pirates were on the brink of despair, such a powerful reinforcement suddenly arrived, filling everyone with a strong sense of encouragement.

“One trouble maker is already enough! No need for more…” Kizaru muttered like this, raising his finger, intending to shoot lasers at the figures in the sky.

He was genuinely panicked. Among the Three Admirals, he had faced Ian the most times, but every time, Ian brought him new “surprises,” making him keenly feel Ian’s increasing threat.

In Kizaru’s mind, the evaluation of Ian’s “Currency Fruit” had risen to an unprecedented level. He even felt it was more formidable than Whitebeard’s Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

Perhaps after this war, there would be a new description of the Currency Fruit in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia: the strongest Superhuman-type Devil Fruit in the world! Countless people would want to obtain this Devil Fruit, even though they had never seen what it looked like…

However, just as Kizaru’s finger began to rise, it was interrupted by a thunderbolt descending from the sky!

The thunderbolt was so huge, accompanied by blue-white flashes, and it thundered straight toward Kizaru’s position. Kizaru immediately turned into light particles and disappeared in place to evade, while nearby Aokiji and Akainu also jumped backward one after another.

With a loud rumble, the lightning struck the ground, shattering the fragments where Kizaru was standing. After the electric light disappeared, Kizaru slowly stood up from the ground.

“…Enel!” Kizaru looked at Enel’s sinister smile and uttered his name.

Enel leaned on his golden rod, chuckled, took a step back, and landed next to Ian, saying to Kizaru, “Don’t be nervous, just saying hello!”

Earlier, Ian greeted Akainu, and now Enel appeared to greet Kizaru. This made Aokiji feel awkward, looking up at the sky: would it be his turn to be greeted next?

Sure enough, as soon as he looked up, a tremendous gravitational force suddenly descended from the sky, acting on Aokiji. Under this immense gravity, Kizaru’s body instantly turned into shattered ice blocks, crashing to the ground with a cracking sound.

The powerful gravity created a circular pit in the ground, burying Aokiji inside. However, this gravity lasted only for an instant and soon disappeared. Aokiji’s body condensed again from the ice blocks, and he stood up, silent, using Moonwalk to jump out of the huge pit.

As he landed on the ground, he saw Fujitora swaying down from the sky and also standing next to Ian.

Fujitora gripped his sword, closed his eyes, and gave a faint smile in the direction of Aokiji, saying, “Admiral Kuzan, it’s been a while since Dressrosa. Long time no see…”

“Fujitora…” Kuzan rubbed his forehead with a headache, saying, “Indeed, it’s been a while, but I’d rather not see you again…”

“Hehehe!” Fujitora laughed heartily at his words.

With Fujitora and Enel appearing, members of the Revolutionary Army, Crocodile, and Ivankov landed one after another, grasping balloons. They landed behind Ian, stretched their bodies upon landing, and then greeted the familiar faces of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Robin, Reiju, Nana, Walnut, Yardi, Matthew, Doroni, Raideen, Zick, Baby-5, wearing a bear costume and constantly eating sugared grapes, along with several sailors from the Revolutionary Army, landed. Varua directed the sailors to place two Thunder Dial cannons “Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon”, which had been affected by Fujitora’s weightlessness, with great enthusiasm.

The members of the Revolutionary Army were all assembled…

A heart-wrenching scream came from above as Luffy extended his arms, embracing the Straw Hat Pirates as they fell from high altitude. Just before landing, this carefree guy suddenly inflated his belly and bounced a few times on the ground, laughing heartily upon landing safely.

But Nami, who was scared to tears, stood up and rushed to punch Luffy desperately. Chopper and Usopp, also crying and sniffling, joined Nami in beating up Luffy.

Zoro, Sanji, Franky, Brook, and Bon Clay watched from the sidelines, unwilling to speak up for Luffy. That bastard Luffy deserved it…

Afterwards, the Revolutionary Army led by Ivankov and Crocodile landed, and Jinbe appeared from another direction. Then they all stood behind Ian.

Trafalgar Law’s Heart Pirates, Urouge’s Fallen Monk Pirates, with prisoners from Impel Down, landed one after another. Upon landing, Law, carrying his nodachi, smiled and extended his tattooed fingers, flipping the middle finger at the Marines.

“Damn, that little cockroach…” Akainu lit a cigar and bit down on it, looking very displeased at Law’s gesture.

But that wasn’t all. Suddenly, three enormous black figures appeared in the sky and then thudded down in succession. In a cloud of smoke, three pacifistas identical to Bartholomew Kuma slowly stood up.

Faced with this scene, the Marines were at a loss for how to react. Whether it was the Revolutionaries or the Heart Pirates, the appearance of these individuals was within the Marines’ expectations, but what about these sudden three pacifistas!?

Akainu and his men didn’t believe these three pacifistas belonged to their side because they stood with the pirates, showing no hostility but staring straight at the Marines.

“Oh my, this is getting troublesome!” Kizaru said, “Aren’t these the three pacifists that were knocked away by Kuma on Sabaody Island? I’ve always said there was something off about Kuma…”

“What’s the point of saying that now?” Aokiji said expressionlessly, “Kuma is dead. Can you get any information out of someone who has lost consciousness?”

“If you can’t ask, then just take him down!” Kizaru chuckled.

“Why don’t you ask Dr. Vegapunk…” Aokiji suggested.

In the rear, Vice Admiral Tsuru sighed and said to Sengoku and Garp, “What an astonishing lineup…”

But neither Sengoku nor Garp responded, their faces were just gloomy.

On the battlefield, Smoker and Hina exchanged glances, both sensing shock in each other’s eyes.

Kuina held the hilt of her sword, nervously tightening and relaxing her grip, her mind in turmoil…

With Ian’s side fully assembled, although they numbered only over five hundred, the enemies’ morale soared under their immense presence.

However, on the contrary, the Marines were in great turmoil.

The appearance of the three pacifistas left all the Marines in fear: weren’t they supposed to be weapons of war for the Marines? Why were they on the pirates’ side!?

For those unaware of the truth, this was nothing short of a worldview-shattering revelation. Especially for those watching the live broadcast, some of whom had been hoping for a Marine victory, were so frightened by this scene that they collapsed to the ground.

“How could this be? How could this be?”

“The influence of that Warlord Ian is terrifying, to even have pacifistas!”

“How can the Whitebeard Pirates have such powerful reinforcements!?”

“It’s over, the Marines probably won’t win this war…”

One renowned figure after another assembled behind Ian, subtly acknowledging him as their leader. Ian glanced around, feeling a surge of pride. He spread his arms wide, facing Admiral Akainu and the remaining tens of thousands of Marine soldiers, and declared loudly, “Alright! The halftime break is over. Shall we start the second half now!?”

At this moment, Ian exuded an overwhelming dominance…
