Blue flames streaked across the sky.
Marko's figure was rapidly approaching Kizaru.
Kizaru, sensing something, turned his head and glanced back.
He briefly looked at Marco rushing over, then his gaze returned to Beast Dao Payne and the others.
However, Beast Dao Payne still didn't move and made no attempt to attack him.
"There is no sadness or anger, even witnessing the death of your companion..."
"How indifferent!" Kizaru muttered, looking away from Beast Dao Payne and the others.
His focus landed on Marco, who was speeding up.
Seeing this, Marco, hovering in the air, grinned as blue flames surged all over his body.
Immediately, his flight speed increased sharply!
"Boom!!"
At that moment, the "One Four Seven" suddenly appeared in Marko's flight path.
A crisp cracking sound echoed in the void.
"Crack! Kick!"
Immediately, a terrifying spider-web-like crack spread through the air, stretching over ten meters!
This sudden sight forced Marko to stop moving forward, hovering in midair.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Marco fluttered his wings anxiously.
Everyone watching was astonished as the crack in the sky expanded.
"What's going on?! What just happened?!"
At the same time, Kizaru beneath the void crack, Whitebeard on the bow of the Moby Dick, Aokiji on the battlefield, Ace, Sengoku on the execution stand, and Garp, Akainu, and Tsuru below the stand—all noticed the cracked sky!
Their faces showed confusion, solemnity, and puzzlement.
"Void crack? Did Whitebeard do this?" Sengoku wondered aloud.
Garp looked astonished.
"The sky is cracked?! What's happening?"
Garp stared solemnly at the terrifying crack and muttered to himself,
"Could it be... those guys are here?!"
The crane beside him hesitated before asking,
"Those guys? Who?"
"The Kamui Pirates!" Garp answered in a deep voice.
A sharp sense of unease rose in his heart.
This vision couldn't have been caused by Whitebeard—otherwise, he wouldn't show doubt!
The most likely culprits were the Kamui Pirates.
Just then, the cracked void shattered like glass.
"Dang bang!!!"
A dark avenue over ten meters wide appeared in the air.
Everyone on the battlefield—Marco, Kizaru, Ace, Sengoku, Garp, Crane, Whitebeard, Marines, and Whitebeard Pirates alike—looked at the dark avenue in disbelief.
"Is that... a channel?!"
The entire battlefield fell into a brief truce.
The sounds of clashing iron, shouting, and fighting abruptly stopped.
Marineford and Marine Headquarters were engulfed in an eerie silence.
Everyone's eyes fixed on the dark path hanging midair.
"Da da da..."
Clear footsteps echoed along the dark path.
This sound sent chills down the spines of both Marines and Pirates on the ice.
"Am I dreaming?! Is that... footsteps?"
"Someone's coming!"
"Allies? Enemies?!"
Everyone tensed nervously.
Suddenly, a figure appeared, walking slowly from the dark path—Kronos.
Immediately after, Madara, Gojo Satoru, Konan, Artoria, and five others followed, flanking Kronos on both sides.
At the rear came Assac's group, carrying the Kamui Pirates' banner.
"Crash!"
Gusts of sea breeze blew past midair.
Assac and the others stood shoulder to shoulder, holding the flag.
The flag, painted with a blindfolded skull on its wings, fluttered wildly.
At the end of the dark path, Kronos stopped and stood still.
Behind him were Gojo Satoru and the others, lined up, facing the entire battlefield.
Assac and his group held the flag on the farthest sides of the formation, overlooking the battlefield and crowd below.
A calm smile appeared on Kronos' face as he spoke steadily,
"I'm sorry, everyone. I'm late!"
"But it doesn't seem too late now!"
It was really Kronos.
After hearing his casual words, Garp gritted his teeth and said solemnly,
"Kronos..."
Meanwhile, on the bow of the Moby Dick, Whitebeard watched Kronos walking down the dark path.
He looked at the pirate flag Assac's group carried, fluttering in the sea breeze.
Even Whitebeard couldn't help but laugh at this moment.
"Old la la la!"
"But only a dozen people?"
"How dare you hold the pirate flag and swagger over Marine Headquarters!"
"The way you appear is even more arrogant than me!!!"
"Little devil!!"
