Chapter 306: Chapter 306: You Bastard! Are You Stacking Pancakes?

As Garp’s words fell.

Ace’s face displayed a mix of emotions—shock, disbelief, bewilderment, heartache, and helplessness.

He never expected the old man to...

How could Garp not want to save him?

In the original story, Garp, more than anyone present, desperately wanted Ace to live.

But he couldn’t act.

He couldn’t save his own grandson.

If he did.

The justice the Marines had upheld for so long—and the justice he himself had upheld—would become a laughingstock.

A colossal joke.

How could he not want to act?

But the weight on his shoulders was far too heavy.

On the crescent-shaped plaza.

The Marines stood in orderly formation.

The Admirals, Vice Admirals, and the Giants stood out the most.

But below them.

Familiar faces like Smoker, Tashigi, Hina, and Koby were also present.

Beside Ace, Sengoku grew increasingly uneasy as the execution time drew nearer.

Now, there was less than an hour left.

Yet, not a single figure from the enemy side had appeared.

Their reconnaissance ships were destroyed the moment they were spotted—sinking before they could even leave the bay.

No information could be gathered.

Despite all his preparations, his heart remained unsettled.

The outer bay was heavily fortified with cannons.

Rows of battleships lay in wait.

If Whitebeard attacked conventionally from the sea, the outer bay would serve as a strong line of defense.

As for the inner bay, he had installed the enclosing walls—ready to trap the enemy like dumplings in a wrap, dealing devastating losses.

Beyond that, Sengoku had even prepared countermeasures for an aerial assault.

If the enemy descended from the sky, his plan was... Dyna Stones!

That’s right!

The very same weapons Zephyr once intended to use to destroy the world.

These were Marine assets.

Their destructive power was immense.

At this critical moment, Sengoku could no longer afford to hesitate.

An aerial assault would be the worst-case scenario.

If they couldn’t inflict massive damage in the first wave, the ensuing battle would be disastrous.

All their other preparations would be rendered useless.

The moment the enemy appeared.

Kizaru’s mission would be to detonate the bombs as close to them as possible before they landed.

In the original story, the destructive range of these bombs was enough to obliterate a small island.

And right now.

Kizaru was holding three vials of them...

The explosive substance inside would detonate upon contact with oxygen.

Three vials—

If all were successfully detonated.

And positioned well.

They could wipe out more than half of the enemy’s forces in a single strike.

But they couldn’t be too close to Marineford.

Otherwise, even the weaker Marines would be instantly vaporized.

Kizaru understood the risks.

That’s why sweat was forming on his forehead.

This mission... wasn’t exactly easy.

Hopefully, they won’t come from the sky.

Wouldn’t it be better to just sail here like normal people...?

Time ticked away.

Every Marine’s body tensed.

Outwardly calm, but internally, they were already priming themselves.

The Observation Haki of the stronger fighters began to stir.

A sea breeze swept across the plaza.

The Marine flags flapped violently in the wind.

But mixed within that fresh ocean air... was the scent of earth.

Sengoku’s expression twisted in alarm.

They’re here!

At the same moment.

The flags bathed in sunlight were suddenly swallowed by darkness.

In an instant, the light vanished—replaced by an all-encompassing shadow.

Not just the flags.

All of Marineford...

The entire island was engulfed in shadow!

Everyone’s heads snapped upward to the now-darkened sky.

But it wasn’t the sky dimming—it was a massive island hurtling downward at terrifying speed!

It was three times the size of Marineford!

Everyone’s pupils contracted sharply.

Sengoku’s face turned pale.

He cursed under his breath.

Garp’s conflicted expression slowly hardened into resolve.

"The two old bastards... they’ve both come."

Even he couldn’t remain passive now.

Whether it was Kong’s earlier words or the current situation—

He had no choice but to fight with everything he had.

If he stood by and did nothing.

The entire Marineford would be annihilated!

Over 90% of the people here would be buried at sea!

Slowly, he rose from his seated position.

His eyes sharpened.

His heartbeat quickened.

A faint, oppressive aura began radiating from his body.

A presence—

That could shatter everything.

Zephyr, his face stern, switched his mechanical arm to its highest setting.

A layer of ice crept across Aokiji’s skin.

A glint of light flickered at Kizaru’s chest.

Akainu’s arm melted into magma, swelling in size—ready to unleash his full power.

Because if they didn’t go all out now...

The Marines might not even survive the first wave of this attack!

And if you thought that was all—

You’d be wrong.

Behind the gargantuan island were over twenty more landmasses, each as large as Marineford!

Twenty-plus islands!

What the hell was this, stacking islands like pancakes!?

But before anyone could process that—

Another disaster struck.

The 60+ battleships stationed in the outer bay—originally waiting for orders—

Suddenly began floating into the sky.

All at once.

Defying all logic.

The sight was nothing short of apocalyptic.

Marines tumbled from the decks.

Rolling cannonballs added explosions to the chaos.

Sengoku’s face darkened like a burnt pot.

But there was nothing he could do.

This was that man’s power.

Golden Lion.

He hadn’t even shown himself yet.

But the Marines were already suffering catastrophic losses!

The soldiers on the plaza stared at the nightmarish scene, eyes wide with terror.

First, an island capable of crushing Marineford.

Now, 60 battleships levitating uncontrollably.

The islands alone were enough to crush their morale.

But with the warships joining the assault—

Hope was already lost.

*Thud*

Koby collapsed to his knees.

Sweat drenched his face.

The will to fight had long left his eyes.

’How... How do we fight an enemy like this?’

’There’s no chance!’

’We’re finished... All of us!’

The sheer pressure of the scene was overwhelming.

Most Marines were trembling uncontrollably.

Even Smoker didn’t notice his cigarette falling from his lips.

Tashigi’s sword slipped from her grip.

The sheer scale of destruction before them was beyond what any ordinary marine could endure.

Only those at Vice Admiral rank and above remained composed.

The rest...

Had already given up.
