Chapter 561 Preemptive Execution

Bai Ye let out a cold laugh.

Situ Chicheng had indeed grown stronger, but he himself seemed to have become even stronger.

Bai Ye reached out, and seawater continuously flowed from within the surrounding water walls towards him, condensing in his palm. Soon, it transformed into an incomparably massive water sword, twenty to thirty meters long.

With a wave of his hand, the giant water sword slashed down towards Situ Chicheng.

Situ Chicheng’s eyes widened as he tried to escape, but even the slightest movement sent waves of agony through his body.

He was utterly unable to flee!

All Situ Chicheng could do was close his eyes and await the descent of the colossal water sword.

Then…

With a single strike, Situ Chicheng’s body was cleaved in two!

Glancing at Situ Chicheng’s corpse, just as Bai Ye had predicted, there were no notifications.

Currently, killing a Chosen One guaranteed at least 20% of God Stone fragments, so any kill would trigger a notification.

However, killing Situ Chicheng yielded no such prompt, indicating that Situ Chicheng was not a Chosen One, or perhaps it was because…

He was already dead!

“I hope you don’t come back to life this time.”

With that thought, Bai Ye withdrew his domain and returned to Marineford.

From afar, Lilith watched Bai Ye and murmured, “Even this isn’t enough? It seems there are indeed some troubles.”

Lilith continued to murmur, closing her eyes again, showing no intention of participating in this great battle.

The sunlight streaming from the sky continuously fell upon Lilith, making her appear incredibly saintly.

On the other side, Bai Ye looked around. Marineford remained in a state of chaos.

Whitebeard still stood atop the ship, unmoving.

Normally, with the battle reaching this stage, Whitebeard should have intervened. However, since this was a forbidden zone, the protagonist was bound to be a Chosen One, and Whitebeard would not easily make a move.

But at this moment…

On the execution platform, two executioners suddenly took a step forward, raising their spears.

A captain under Whitebeard roared, “What do you intend to do?”

Fleet Admiral Sengoku spoke no further, merely stating indifferently, “Execute ahead of schedule!”

The Navy intended to execute Fire Fist Ace prematurely!

The captains under Whitebeard were enraged. “It’s not the agreed-upon execution time yet. Sengoku, have you abandoned even the last shred of dignity? Do you intend to do something so despicable!”

Fleet Admiral Sengoku remained silent, merely raising his hand to signal the execution.

Bai Ye glanced at Whitebeard and the captains. Despite their efforts to charge forward, it was clear they couldn’t reach the execution platform.

As expected, troublesome matters always fell to the Chosen Ones to handle.

Since that was the case…

Fire Fist Ace’s life…

He would take it!

Bai Ye’s figure flickered, transforming into lightning once more as he ascended into the sky, descending towards the execution platform.

The three Marine Admirals seated before the execution platform watched the descending lightning.

Kizaru made his move again, firing a beam of light into the sky, directly at Bai Ye.

Bai Ye materialized in the air and swung a fist downwards.

Thunder crackled, striking downwards!

Boom!

The beam of light collided with the thunder, emitting a deafening roar.

“We haven’t settled our previous score yet!” Bai Ye said to Kizaru, “Let’s have two more rounds!”

Kizaru did not attack, merely smiling.

The next instant…

An ice pillar appeared beneath Aokiji’s feet, sending him into the sky. Following that, with a punch hurled forward, a vast expanse of frost surged, engulfing Bai Ye.

Crack, crack, crack!

The sound of ice freezing echoed, and frost began to form on Bai Ye’s body, rapidly encasing him.

But…

It lasted only an instant!

With a crack!

Accompanied by a surge of electricity, the solid ice covering Bai Ye shattered.

Bai Ye reappeared, his gaze sweeping over Kizaru and Aokiji. “You two can come at me together, or…”

Bai Ye’s gaze finally settled on the third Marine Admiral, Akainu.

“Or, since the two of you are already coming, there’s no harm in adding one more,” Bai Ye said. “Why don’t all three of you come at me!”

Akainu rose and declared, “Brat, you’re too arrogant!”

As Akainu spoke, he raised his hands, and his arms instantly transformed into blazing magma.

“Meteor Volcano!”

The next instant, countless streams of magma erupted from Akainu’s hands, hurtling towards Bai Ye.

However, Bai Ye was incredibly agile, transforming into lightning and moving rapidly through the air, evading the magma.

Bai Ye looked down and sneered, “Is this all you’ve got?”

Akainu replied, “Brat, it’s not over yet!”

The moment Akainu finished speaking, the sky suddenly turned a fiery red, and then, countless burning meteors rained down from the heavens, heading towards Bai Ye.

Simultaneously…

Kizaru spread his arms and exclaimed, “Yata no Kagami!”

Kizaru’s body began to glow, and then, countless orbs of light appeared, streaking towards Bai Ye.

Aokiji let out a soft cry and punched the ground.

Crack, crack!

With the sound of ice freezing, ice cones erupted from the ground, advancing towards Bai Ye.

The three Admirals joined forces, attacking Bai Ye in unison!

“Excellent!” Bai Ye licked his lips. “Then today, we’ll see who possesses the strongest Logia-type devil fruit!”

Zzzt, zzzt!

Vast amounts of electricity began to surge around Bai Ye’s body, rapidly enveloping him.

In an instant, Bai Ye entered his Thunder God state once more.

With a punch, a torrent of electricity surged into the sky and exploded, like azure fireworks.

Boom, boom, boom!

The falling meteors were caught in the electrical currents and then exploded, shattering one by one.

After this strike, Bai Ye swung his arm towards the side.

The sudden ice pillar was smashed by Bai Ye. He then grabbed the broken ice pillar and hurled it forward, colliding with the orbs of light shot by Kizaru.

With a bang!

Kizaru’s orbs of light were pulverized, and the massive ice cone, under the impact, also turned into powder, dissipating into a vast mist of frost.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku frowned upon witnessing this. Before Whitebeard had even made a move, someone was able to directly confront the three Marine Admirals?

This battle situation was not looking good!

“Execute quickly!”

Fleet Admiral Sengoku urgently commanded the two executioners.

Bai Ye saw everything, let out a low roar, and then pointed a single finger to the sky.

“God’s Judgment!”

The electricity from Bai Ye’s body surged into the heavens, and then azure radiance completely illuminated the sky.

Countless currents converged, forming a colossal pillar of lightning that descended from the sky, striking the ground with immense force.

Boom!

The lightning pillar struck the execution platform, causing it to explode and shatter into pieces, scattering in all directions.
