...

The Underworld Pirates were completely suppressed by the Marines, unable to mount any sort of counterattack.

This wasn't due to any weakness on the Underworld's part. Any single pirate crew facing the full might of the mobilized Marines would be at a disadvantage, let alone a newly formed crew like the Underworld Pirates.

Noir gritted his teeth, struggling to withstand the combined pressure of Kizaru and Zephyr's attacks as their light sword and Smasher collided with his Devil Blade.

His resistance was futile. Even with their differences, Zephyr and Kizaru, working together, were an insurmountable force.

"Did my protagonist aura take a vacation? I can't even handle two Admirals..." Noir muttered self-deprecatingly.

Seeing Noir cornered, his crewmates were frantic. Enel desperately tried to break through the encirclement.

But Vice Admiral Onigumo was no pushover. His Life Return-controlled hair ensnared Enel and flung him back.

Wyper caught Enel, roaring in frustration, "Use your speed! Don't just charge in blindly!"

Enel's face darkened. "I don't need you to tell me what to do!"

Wyper transformed into his hybrid form, his massive wings beating, generating a fierce gust of wind that buffeted the two Vice Admirals.

Enel seized the opportunity and dashed forward, blue arcs of lightning tracing his path through the air. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Noir.

Kizaru watched the lightning-wielding man with surprise, then chuckled. "Enel, Former 'God' of Skypiea, here to help your captain?"

Without a word, Enel thrust his trident at Kizaru's face.

Kizaru didn't flinch. Experienced fighters could sense the presence, or lack thereof, of Busoshoku Haki in an attack.

As expected, the golden trident passed harmlessly through Kizaru's face.

Kizaru raised his leg, laser light gathering around his shin. He delivered a swift and merciless kick.

Enel was sent flying, crashing through the deck of a Marine warship.

Though he had begun training in Haki under Noir's guidance, he was still unable to utilize it effectively in combat.

Zephyr, observing Enel's swift defeat, sneered at Noir. "Your subordinates are nothing special!"

Noir watched impassively as Enel was struck down.

A slow smile spread across his face as he raised his sword, his voice firm and resolute. "Don't underestimate.. my crew."

Zephyr raised an eyebrow dismissively and swung his blackened arm at Noir again, Kizaru quickly joining the attack with his Ama no Murakumo sword.

Noir's eyes gleamed, his smile widening, his stance unwavering.

Those familiar with Noir knew that this expression meant he had a plan!

Ignoring Kizaru's incoming sword strike, Noir dragged Devil Blade along the ground, then swung it upwards at Zephyr, unleashing a barrage of shadowy projectiles.

Kizaru's expression darkened. Noir was ignoring him!

Just as Kizaru's light sword was about to connect with Noir, a flash of blue lightning erupted, shielding Noir once more.

Enel coughed up blood, another wound appearing on his already battered body. His chest bled profusely.

Kizaru looked at Enel, surprised. "A man like you, taking a blow for someone else?"

"Tch!"

Enel spat out a mouthful of blood, his voice defiant. "Less talk. You're my opponent. Leave the others out of this!"

Even without Haki, he could still buy Noir some time.

Kizaru had become Enel's second unshakeable Devil... the first being his ruthless captain.

So, even if it cost him his life, Enel would defeat him!

Kizaru sighed. "Enthusiasm is a powerful thing..."

"Fine. Fighting you is better than fighting my old teacher and Noir."

With a newfound resolve, Enel faced Kizaru alone. Noir, observing the battle, smiled with satisfaction.

Zephyr scoffed. "Not worried? Kizaru may be annoying, but taking down that weakling will be child's play!"

The force behind Noir's Devil Blade suddenly intensified, sending a tremor through Zephyr's massive frame.

Noir, usually warm and friendly towards his crew, now radiated a chilling aura. His voice was cold and sharp.

"Shut your mouth!"

Without another word, Noir charged, unleashing a torrent of blood-red Conqueror's Haki, even more potent than what he'd displayed against Garp.

Zephyr coated his powerful arm in Busoshoku Haki, his Seastone Smasher whistling through the air.

Noir's Devil Fruit powers were unaffected by Seastone. Their duel was a clash of titans, neither giving an inch.

Zephyr, though slightly weaker than Garp, was still a formidable opponent.

Their battle became the most dangerous part of the war, no Marine daring to approach.

Elsewhere, Enel was being relentlessly pummeled by Kizaru, while Wyper struggled to hold his own against the two Vice Admirals.

And on the Ark Maxim, a certain observer finally decided he'd seen enough.

Dracule Mihawk, dressed in his usual attire, his black blade Yoru in hand, stepped onto his small coffin-shaped boat.

Mihawk's sharp gaze was fixed on Noir, a hint of intrigue in his eyes.

After days of sparring with Noir, Mihawk had gained a deeper understanding of his swordsmanship.

With his talent, Noir was the most likely candidate to surpass him in the future!

He couldn't allow such a promising opponent to be crushed by the Marines here.

The Marines, noticing Mihawk approaching the center of the battlefield, reacted with a mix of apprehension and confusion.

The Shichibukai and the Marines were ostensibly allies, but the pirates' true nature couldn't be ignored.

Marines like Zephyr, who harbored a deep hatred for pirates, found it difficult to cooperate with the Shichibukai.

Ultimately, the Shichibukai were merely tools, a temporary measure to maintain the balance of power between the Four Emperors and the Marines.

If either side gained a significant advantage, the Shichibukai would be the first to be affected.

The Marines watched the uninvited guest warily, unsure of his intentions.

Mihawk raised Yoru. Emerald green slashes, imbued with incredible power, ripped through the air, aimed at various targets.

Across the chaotic battlefield, numerous figures were struck.

Wyper, struggling to fend off Onigumo and Doberman, felt the ground beneath them explode as a sword slash tore through the earth.

Enel, barely conscious, tried to get up. Just as Kizaru was about to strike, a gust of wind generated by a sword slash swept Enel into the sea.

With a few swift attacks, Yoru had shifted the tide of several battles, inflicting casualties on both the Underworld Pirates and the Marines.

Only Noir seemed to understand Mihawk's intentions, chuckling to himself.

The master of theatrics, Hawkeye, has entered the stage…
