Sudden Arrival

A powerful shockwave swept across the entire island, whipping up clouds of dust that formed a massive, sky-covering smoke screen.

However, within this smoke screen, a black wave was extremely conspicuous.

The scent lingered for a long time as we moved forward.

A dark surge tore through the entire island, then roared forward, splitting the sea on the other side of the island in two.

At that moment, everyone stopped and looked in this direction.

"Looks like it's over."

The Red-Haired exclaimed in surprise, "That's quite an exaggeration, but I expected it."

Even Charlotte Big Mom was somewhat silent at this moment.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, the current appearance of Beehive Island was revealed to everyone.

Beehive Island, which was somewhat dilapidated but still had many buildings, has now been completely flattened.

The soil and rocks on the island's surface had been scraped away, leaving behind a dense network of deep, coarse cracks that were flooding the entire island, with seawater pouring in along them.

However, the most conspicuous feature is the massive crack that spans the entire island, extending hundreds of meters underground and stretching into the distance, forming a deep trench.

At the beginning of the trench is an enormous crater, where a gigantic, pitch-black werewolf body expands until it reaches its limit and then begins to contract.

At the edge of the large pit, a figure lay quietly.

The huge, gruesome wound stretched from the shoulder to the thigh on the other side, with skin, muscle, bone, and internal organs all severed and exposed.

"Dad!"

A gasp rang out, and a blue shadow descended from the sky.

"Pineapple gravel!"

Marco, his face pale, landed beside Whitebeard. His injuries had not yet fully healed, but the blue flames were already generously showering Whitebeard with energy.

Visibly, Whitebeard's injuries began to heal.

Marco finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he angrily raised his head, "Black Wolf!!"

Sirius completely ignored him, and was currently frantically gnawing on the ground with his mouth wide open.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar erupted, and behind Sirius, without the shockwaves of battle to impede them, the blown-away seawater surged forward with even greater ferocity.

Sirius seemed deaf, showing no reaction whatsoever, and simply gnawed at the dirt in silence.

The surging seawater froze into ice in an instant, and a white shadow landed beside Sirius. "Too fast, Sirius!"

"Well enough?"

Sirius chuckled softly, continuing to eat.

"Hehe, now Sirius, you're the strongest!"

Yamato a grin, while digging up large stones from the ground and stuffing them into Sirius's mouth.

Sirius, of course, accepted all comers.

It's much easier to eat when someone helps you.

"It's a bit faster than I expected," a smile played on his lips as a whirlwind swirled around Dragon. "As expected of Sirius, it's still evolving even now."

He turned his head and looked at Kaido, who had transformed into Azure Dragon. "Kaido, you have taught a remarkable disciple."

"So, do you feel like the student has surpassed the teacher?"

Kaido, the Azure Dragon, frowned and remained silent.

Then he sneered, "Not bad, that kid Sirius. I'd love to fight him again!"

Dragon couldn't help but glance at him.

Having witnessed the battle just now, he still wants to fight Sirius? Doesn't that make him worthy of being called Beasts Kaido?

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Above, Morgans was frantically tapping on a Den Den Mushi) pointing downwards. "Fantastic! Fantastic! Big News Morgans like nothing we've seen in decades!"

He pulled out another Den Den Mushi and dialed, "Idiots! Get this news published right now!"

"I've already sent the photos and videos back! You should know how important this news is!"

"The Strongest in the World has changed! The new era has completely crushed the old!"

"A new uncrowned king has been born! Black Wolf Sirius is only one step away from becoming the Sea King!"

There hasn't been such explosive news since Roger's execution eighteen years ago.

Morgans was moved to tears.

This kind of touching moment should definitely be shared with more people immediately!

World, are you ready to be amazed?

In the distance, on the outer sea surface.

"Dad, did you lose?"

The pirates under the Whitebeard Pirates were bewildered.

They encountered something they never imagined.

I never imagined my father would be defeated, and I never imagined anyone could beat them.

"They actually did it?"

Queen said incredulously, "Just how strong is that kid?! Hey, you leather-clad bastard, did we really raise a human being? Or some monster, a wolf that ate the Human-Human Fruit or something?"

Jin remained silent.

He simply gazed quietly into the distance.

Finally, Queen, who had been yelling and shouting, couldn't help but shove him. "Hey, you bastard, what are you going to say?!"

Jhin remained silent for a while, then finally spoke, "Sirius, he's still the Sirius."

"Huh? You leather-jacket bastard, are you laughing?"

"Stop talking nonsense, you fat pig! The fight isn't over yet!"

"You actually called me a fat pig?"

On the ruined Beehive Island.

"Dad!! Are you alright?"

"Dad!!"

The Whitebeard Pirates gathered around.

They surrounded the Whitebeard, and almost everyone's eyes welled up with tears.

Even Teach, squeezed into the crowd, pursed his lips.

"Quiet down, everyone!"

Marco, who was maintaining his healing flames, shouted, "Don't disturb my treatment!"

Everyone then fell silent.

Then, from above, the Golden Lion slowly descended, landing beside the Whitebeard who had fallen to the ground.

Thanks to Marco's tireless treatment, Whitebeard's wounds were finally brought under control and did not worsen, showing some improvement.

Unfortunately, Marco's healing abilities for others were far less impressive than his own, and Whitebeard would certainly not be able to stand up again anytime soon.

"Golden Lion, what do you want to do!" Vista instantly stepped in front of the Golden Lion.

The Golden Lion glanced at him sideways, but made no move to attack. He simply said calmly, "What a sorry sight, Newgate."

Whitebeard's eyelids trembled slightly, then slowly opened.

"Dad!" Marco excitedly, a snot bubble flying out of his nostril.

"Dad!!"

The other Whitebeard Pirates officers were also moved to tears.

"What?! Am I still alive?"

The Whitebeard's lips trembled slightly, his voice barely audible.

"You'll be alright, Dad!" Marco said in a trembling voice.

"Yes, that's right, Dad, Marco will definitely heal you!" Jozu said in a deep voice.

They had all followed this man since they were very young, and were used to their father protecting them from the wind and rain. They had never seen their father so weak before.

"Boys--"

Whitebeard managed a strained smile.

"How did it feel to fail?" the Golden Lion asked with interest. "This must have been an unprecedented and utter defeat, right?"

The Whitebeard glanced at him, then said, "Now is not the time to be at ease."

The expressions of the Whitebeard Pirates' officers instantly turned serious.

Yes, they are currently in the midst of their biggest crisis.

"Where's that kid?" Whitebeard's Observation Haki was no longer usable.

"There's no need to worry,"

While eating dirt, Sirius shouted loudly, "Just hand over the stone, and today's battle will be over."

He had no intention of wiping out the Whitebeard Pirates.

Marco breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were enemies, he knew that Black Wolf was not a man who broke his promises.

If that's the case--

"Stones? I'd like to see what kind of stones Joy Boy left behind."

Suddenly, a calm voice rang out.

Sirius's expression changed instantly.

He suddenly turned his head.

Then you see a figure standing at the edge of the pit, next to the Crocodile.
