Whitebeard Is Wounded (1)

He had used the Little Fox's abilities—repulsion and attraction—which were extremely useful. However, he discarded them all before merging with Old Diamond King's body. He had no choice; those souls were affecting him. So, he had to abandon them.

Now, if he wants to get back in time, there's no other way but to let the Little Fox use its repulsive force to send him flying. This is the fastest way.

However, this move requires a very strong physique. If your physique is not strong, all the bones in your body will be shattered.

However, Fanxin's body was made of diamond, and coupled with his Haki, it was extremely sturdy, and he could withstand it completely.

"Alright, since that's how you see it, then I'll do it." Hearing this, the Little Fox knew that Fanxin's mind was made up, so she didn't try to persuade him any further.

"Okay, after I get there, you stay next to Straw Hat Boy, understand? That guy is a mindless lunatic. Rushing over there like that will definitely get him killed," Fanxin said.

He couldn't let Straw Hat Boy die, because the hope of rescuing Ace was becoming increasingly slim. With Whitebeard injured, their morale had weakened considerably. Many pirates were even considering backing down.

He would save as many as possible; he couldn't let them all die.

"Okay, I understand," the Little Fox nodded and said.

"Very well, go ahead and do it!" Fanxin nodded, immediately summoned the Diamond Armor, faced the Whitebeard, and said.

The Little Fox nodded, jumped off Fanxin's shoulder, and then used its power to slap Fanxin on the back.

Fanxin was sent flying like a cannonball. His body flew toward the Whitebeard with lightning speed.

Three minutes later, Fanxin arrived in front of Whitebeard's ship. Without saying a word, Fanxin drew his twin swords, wrapped them with Haki, and prepared to cut down that despicable Squard with one strike.

This guy works under Whitebeard, yet he dares to ambush Whitebeard at this crucial moment! Isn't he pushing the Whitebeard Pirates into the abyss of death?

He didn't care about the Whitebeard Pirates, but he cared about Whitebeard. He had a promise with him that he absolutely couldn't watch him die like that.

Once behind Squard, he swung his diamond knife and slashed at Squard.

"You bastard, you can die now!" Fanxin shouted.

He was incredibly fast; in no time, his blade was at Squard's neck. He thought he could kill Squard. But just then, Whitebeard reached out with his left hand, grabbed his diamond sword, and stopped him from Fanxin.

Fanxin was utterly bewildered and shouted, "Hey, uncle, what are you doing? This guy's going to kill you! Are you just going to stand by and watch?"

"This is a matter for our Whitebeard Pirates, you don't need to concern yourself with it," Whitebeard said.

"Hmph, I'm going to take care of this today, so what?" Fanxin snorted lightly, and swung his Dragon-Slaying Sword, aiming at the Whitebeard's left hand.

Whitebeard seemed to sense the danger and immediately released his grip. After Fanxin retrieved the diamond-cutting knife, he looked directly at Whitebeard and said, "You've really gone senile. Why did you take in such a treacherous bastard? I truly feel sorry for you."

Whitebeard is a man of great loyalty and integrity; there's absolutely no way he would make a deal with the Navy. Is this all baseless? Yet, Squard, without distinguishing truth from falsehood, listened to slander and attacked Whitebeard directly. That's simply the act of an idiot.

He can't keep this bastard around; keeping him around makes him uncomfortable.

Whitebeard picked up Squard and tossed him behind him. He looked at Fanxin and said, "My child has been deceived. I'll handle it myself; you don't need to interfere."

"That won't do. This guy has crossed my line. I have to kill him. Get out of here, do you hear me?" Fanxin shouted.

"I'm sorry, this is my son. You have no right to execute him," the Whitebeard said, shaking his head.

"In that case, it seems we have no choice but to fight," Fanxin said coldly. "Since we've already agreed to a duel, let's have our final battle now!"

He wanted to have a good fight with Whitebeard before he died, so that his wish could be fulfilled.

"Since you have this intention, then I will grant your wish." Upon hearing this, the Whitebeard nodded slightly and said.

He knew Fanxin was furious, and if he didn't step aside, a fight would inevitably break out. Therefore, he had no choice but to fight back.

"Alright, let's go then!" Upon hearing this, Fanxin no longer hesitated. He wielded his twin swords and began his attack on Whitebeard.

Whitebeard, wielding his naginata, began his battle against Fanxin. He possessed immense strength, and when he swung the naginata, it was as if Mount Tai were pressing down upon him. Ordinary people simply could not withstand it.

However, Fanxin was not afraid, because he was strong enough! Even though his opponent was strong and fierce, he could withstand it.

Of course, he knew he couldn't beat Whitebeard; he just wanted to test just how big the gap was between him and Whitebeard.

The two are fighting here.

Not far away, all the forces stopped fighting, for the battle between Whitebeard and Fanxin was crucial! If Whitebeard lost, the outcome would be clear. If Fanxin lost, they would have to continue fighting.

All parties watched with wide eyes, eager to know the final outcome.

After fighting Whitebeard for a few minutes, Fanxin said, "Don't waste time, let's decide the winner in one move!"

He challenged Whitebeard to a fight out of anger. He didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he didn't want to drag things out and wanted a quick victory.

If he wasted time and the Navy took the opportunity to execute Ace, then he would have indirectly caused Ace's death, which was not what he wanted to see.

"Come on!" Whitebeard nodded without hesitation and said.

"That's good." Fanxin Xin immediately jumped into the air and summoned his Diamond Armor to protect his entire body. At the same time, he concentrated all his Haki on his twin swords, preparing to fight Whitebeard with his final blow.

With everything prepared, Fanxin looked at Whitebeard and said, "If you don't survive this attack, I'll rescue Ace. If I'm seriously injured, then Ace is your responsibility to save."

They couldn't abandon Ace; someone had to go and rescue him. So, they had to make a promise first.

"Alright, come on!" Whitebeard nodded and said.

Fanxin no longer hesitated. He gripped two Black Blades and slashed at Whitebeard. Whitebeard, however, parried the attack with his naginata.

The two sides have reached a complete stalemate.

Two immense pressures erupted from their bodies, sweeping across the surrounding area. At the same time, a tremendous shockwave also reached far away.

Many people couldn't withstand the pressure and collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness. Even those who could withstand it were deeply shaken, as the pressure was so intense that it made it hard for them to breathe.

This is a battle of Conqueror's Haki. Whose Haki is stronger and whose Haki can be seen from the outcome.

Moreover, the clash between the two oppressive forces even affected the sky. The sky itself was split in two because of their confrontation. It seemed that even the sky had to choose sides.

People stared at the awe-inspiring scene around them, speechless for a long time, for it was so shocking, far surpassing the impact of war.

"Conqueror's Haki? Heh, he's already Awakening and mastered it. Things are going to get complicated from now on." Garp, sitting on the execution platform, watched Whitebeard and Fanxin's duel and chuckled as he spoke.

He knew that Fanxin possessed Conqueror's Haki. Although he hadn't participated in that incident, he was still very clear about the Navy's annihilation of the Soul Clan. Back then, he knew that a child with Conqueror's Haki had been taken away.

Later, the child disappeared without a trace. He originally thought that was the end of it. However, it seems that things are not over yet, because Fanxin knows everything, and now he has mastered Conqueror's Haki.

The Fanxin will not give up so easily. An absolute king will not accept humiliation. He will spare no effort to remove everything that is weighing on him. No one can stop him from advancing.

"It's all because of you. If you had captured him sooner, all this trouble would have been over." Sengoku was immediately displeased upon hearing Garp's words and shouted.

To defeat a powerful opponent, you must eliminate them before they fully mature. If you fail at that stage, it will be very difficult to defeat them later, because by then, the powerful opponent will have already grown strong.

If you want to take him down, you'll have to spend dozens of times more to surround and kill him. However, even that's not guaranteed to succeed.

Now, Fanxin is a living example. Before he mastered the Haki, if you eliminated him, this menace would be gone. But now, Fanxin has grown up; he dares to fight Admiral and even kings.

Killing him will not be easy. Especially now, it will be even more difficult to kill him.

Because they were tied down by Whitebeard's men, they had even less power to send out and surround the enemy.

"How can you blame me? That kid's escape skills are top-notch. I caught up with him, but he was gone in the next second. I'm not a mind reader, how can I follow him all the time!" Garp said, dissatisfied.

Before Fanxin mastered the Haki, he was indeed very weak. However, his survival skills were also top-notch; otherwise, it would have been impossible for Fanxin to escape from her clutches.

Last time, he was about to catch him. However, Fanxin could fly in the sky and swim in the sea. As a result, he could only watch helplessly and dared not do anything.

"Wasn't it you? You should have dealt with him when you first met. If you had, he wouldn't have grown stronger step by step. Now, we have no way to stop him," Sengoku said unhappily.

"Fine, even if I was wrong. But it wasn't me who pushed him to this point, it was you guys. You can't just shirk that responsibility!" Garp retorted, dissatisfied.

Back then, he didn't agree with doing it that way. It's just that his reaction wasn't as intense as Li Kecheng's. That's why it turned into a tragedy!

And all of this was orchestrated by the Sengoku. Therefore, he felt that the Sengoku was inextricably linked to it.

"Alright, alright, I won't argue with you anymore. Later, go and stop that Fanxin, make sure he doesn't get in the way." Upon hearing this, Sengoku felt somewhat helpless. What he had done was like water spilled; there was no going back now.

Therefore, he didn't want to continue arguing. Discussing who was right and who was wrong now was completely meaningless.

"Alright! I'll go stop Fanxin Xin." Garp said with a hint of helplessness.

"What about Whitebeard? He's furious now. We used Squard, and given Whitebeard's temperament, he'll definitely go berserk," Garp said.

Squard is a captain in the Whitebeard Pirates and is extremely loyal to Whitebeard. Generally speaking, he would not betray him.

However, Sengoku sent Akainu to persuade Squard, which is why Squard switched sides at the last minute.

The reason Squard was so easily persuaded was because his original pirate crew was wiped out by Pirate King Roger, the biological father of Squard Fire Fist Ace. This created a deep-seated grudge between the two.

This wouldn't have been a problem, since Squard already knew before the war that Fire Fist Ace's father was Roger. However, the Navy twisted the story, claiming that Whitebeard made a deal with them: he would exchange the lives of all his pirate crews for Fire Fist Ace's life.

This was unacceptable to him; his former pirate crew had been wiped out in the same way, with only him surviving.

He didn't want to see such a tragedy happen again. At the same time, his hatred for Roger hadn't faded; it was just hidden. Now, with Whitebeard doing such a thing, he transferred all his resentment onto Fire Fist Ace.

So he decided to kill Whitebeard, so that Ace would be unable to be redeemed, and they could gain their freedom.

The foolish Squard actually attacked Whitebeard, and Whitebeard was stabbed, though he didn't die. However, Whitebeard was already old and in poor health. Now, seriously injured, his fighting ability was naturally greatly reduced.

However, the more this is the case, the more dangerous it becomes for Whitebeard! Because wounded beasts are the most terrifying; they can go berserk and cause irreparable damage.

Whitebeard possesses the power to Destruction the world; if he were to go berserk, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If no one can stop him, this place will surely become a river of blood and a mountain of corpses.

"Akainu will deal with him," Sengoku said immediately upon hearing this.

He couldn't move because he had to guard Ace! So, he could only send the rest of his men. Akainu was the strongest; sending him would be enough to stop Whitebeard.
