Luffy had started his fight again with the admirals, and it continued. The structure of the island itself began to give way, already completely fragmented since Luffy had dug up the place with his power and now collapsing as the pressure of the fight between Luffy and the admirals continued to damage the island even more, where it began to crack and crumble.

The fissures spread across the ground like the veins of a giant or as if Whitebeard was there using the power of his fruit. The sound was deafening; the earth groaned and split, creating chasms that threatened to swallow everything and everyone. Sailors ran in all directions, training and discipline giving way to the most basic survival instinct. Shouted communications tried to organize a retreat, but the voice of reason was drowned out by the chaos the island had become.

Buildings that had withstood so many conflicts were now cracking and collapsing, sending clouds of dust into the air. Structures once imposing, symbols of the power of marine justice, were reduced to rubble. The marine headquarters on the island, a bastion of order, was now cracked, threatening to collapse at any moment.

"This!! How can this be happening?!" That scene of terror was being broadcast on the screens in front of Sengoku at the headquarters, leaving everyone, even Garp, being restrained by his superior, frowning as he watched the scene.

"Well... This is quite bad." Kuzan commented, sitting in a chair. He didn't want all those sailors to die, and if he were there, he could surely connect the island with his ice so it wouldn't crack, but it was too late for anything but to watch all that destruction.

On the battlefields, the vice admirals and the Straw Hats felt the ground sway under their feet. Some were winning the fight while trying to finish off their opponents as they made their way to assist others before retreating.

The dock, where moments before sailors were trying to organize counterattacks from their ships, was now pandemonium. Sailors helped their wounded comrades to a safe place, while others bravely tried to maintain order, directing everyone to the ships that could still set sail. Cannons and ammunition, ready to be used against the pirates, were now ignored in favor of ropes and lifeboats.

And at the center of all this, Luffy and the admirals continued their deadly dance, perhaps blind to the destruction around them, it seemed that the whole setting did not seem to affect them as the admirals tried to eliminate the pirate and he wanted to delay them so his crew could escape, despite still losing the fight.

It was just a moment for them to breathe that they saw the real destruction of the island being created everywhere.

"This?!"

"Hm?"

"..."

All 3 were surprised with varied expressions of what was happening as they realized it.

"This is bad..." Kizaru had to comment, he was quite concerned about the sailors there, unlike Akainu who, despite being surprised, looked at Luffy injured and wanting to kill that threat to the sea, even if everyone on that island died with it.

"We should help them..." Kizaru commented.

"No, let's deal first with that pirate!" Akainu countered, making the other admiral frown.

However, an explosion occurred next to Luffy, lifting the ground, and as the dust settled, Yamato, Zoro, and Hugo appeared at this moment to join the fight against the admirals.
