The End of the Whitebeard Pirates

The Red-Haired's head and Ryde's head collided heavily.

At the moment their heads collided, a Haki Inazuma leaped into the air.

Almost simultaneously, both of them rolled their eyes back and fainted.

This collision wasn't just due to Ian's physical strength; the surging domineering Haki was the greater cause of the damage.

To reiterate, Ian's physical abilities and Haki are far superior to theirs, so there's absolutely no chance of anything going wrong in a fight.

Even someone as strong as Red-Haired and Ryde would find it difficult to withstand Ian's serious attack.

The differences in attributes across various aspects ultimately result in a comprehensive gap of one entire dimension.

"How is that possible...?"

Vista swayed, then suddenly collapsed to the ground.

His usually straight spine slumped down.

The Fifth Division Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates was deathly pale, sweat pouring down his forehead. "How could this be? How could this be..."

How could anyone in the world be that strong?

That's Charlotte Linlin, Redfield, and Red-Haired Shanks!

One of the world's most powerful pirates was defeated by Ian with just a few casual punches and kicks?

How could the difference be so huge?

Hallucination? Is this really not a hallucination?

"Ian!!"

The angry roar shook the entire island and even the sea.

Whitebeard charged forward, dragging his long naginata. As he drew near, he unleashed a dragging slash, a massive blade of supreme Two-Color Haki and accompanied by Shockwave, which flashed across the sky like Inazuma and cleaved straight down.

Then.

Ian's raised left hand grabbed the blade directly.

"Oh!"

Ian chuckled and said, "The vibration was so strong, my hands are almost numb."

"Drink!!"

Whitebeard made no attempt to withdraw his naginata. He simply released his grip, his right fist enveloped in Shockwave and Haki, his arm muscles bulging, and he unleashed a powerful punch at Ian.

Ian then raised his right hand.

Whitebeard punched the invisible barrier of Haki.

After a brief stalemate, Whitebeard was actually blasted away by Ian's terrifying Haki.

My right arm was trembling, not because of my ability, but because the muscles in my right arm had been injured in the collision.

Whitebeard staggered backward, finally regaining his footing only after his right foot landed heavily on the ground.

When he looked up at Ian, his eyes were already incredibly gloomy.

"So, Whitebeard- senpai,"

Ian casually tossed the Murakumogiri back to Whitebeard and strode forward leisurely. "Where exactly is the last stone? Could you please hand it to me obediently?"

"Ian ..."

Whitebeard took his beloved sword, straightened up, and his expression and tone became extremely complex.

We can't win.

This was the first time in Whitebeard's long life that the idea had become so clear and distinct.

The little brat in front of him, who was considered young among his many children, indeed possessed terrifying strength beyond imagination.

In fact, even a man as knowledgeable as him had some doubts: was Ian really a human living on this ocean?

Is it really possible for intelligent marine life to reach this level?

"I can tell you where I put that stone."

That's what the Whitebeard senior said.

Ian's lips curled into a smile, understanding perfectly. "In return, I can grant you one request: I will spare your children's lives."

"You know, they don't matter to me. As long as they don't come looking for trouble in front of me, I can't be bothered with them."

"Thank you so much!"

Whitebeard nodded slightly, letting out a small sigh of relief.

"Pops!!"

Marco burst into tears instantly.

At that moment, he already knew what decision his most respected father had made.

But what son would stand by and watch his father die without doing anything?

Marco's hands instantly transformed into azure wings, which flapped suddenly, and his body soared into the air, spinning in the sky like an azure shooting star.

"Marco! Take everyone and get out of here!"

Whitebeard stomped his naginata on the ground and roared loudly.

"This is the captain's order!"

Marco's figure, which had spread its wings, froze in mid-air.

"Pops..."

Marco burst into tears.

"Pops!"

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates were also in tears.

"You're not moved at all?"

Hawk Eyes glanced at Teach beside him again out of the corner of his eye.

Teach, however, spoke with an air of self-righteousness, saying, "This is Pops's own choice, and no one can say anything about it."

"Since you've decided to be an enemy of Lord Ian, then this is the only possible outcome."

Hawk Eyes's lips twitched slightly.

Ian really doesn't discriminate; he recruits all sorts of people into his ranks.

Given the chance, this kind of guy would probably betray without hesitation.

But then again, it's Ian, the invincible, unparalleled Ian.

With Ian in front of him, this fat, dark-skinned man should have no chance to betray him.

"Listen up, children!"

The Whitebeard didn't turn around; he faced his broad back to his children, who were all weeping.

"This is the final captain's order! The Whitebeard Pirates are hereby disbanded! No one is allowed to be a pirate anymore! Go and live your own lives!"

"Pops! Waaah!"

The Whitebeard Pirates all broke down in tears.

They were just like children on their first day of kindergarten.

But upon closer reflection, they do seem to be quite similar.

These pirates are indeed going to lose their protection now.

"Is this the end for the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Hawk Eyes crossed his arms, his tone tinged with melancholy, "That magnificent era has finally come to an end."

"Thief, hahaha!"

Teach burst into laughter, "Then it's Lord Ian's era!"

Hawk Eyes did not deny it.

There was only one enemy left.

After making the final arrangements, Whitebeard looked at Ian with satisfaction.

"I'm sorry, but these things have to be said."

"I understand."

Ian nodded slightly. "So, where exactly is the last stone?"

"At the Sphinx."

The Whitebeard said, "I placed that stone in my hometown, on the highest peak of the northern coast, where there is a lighthouse, right below the lighthouse."

"Understood."

Ian nodded again. "Don't worry, the target is just stones; they have no interest in your hometown."

"Kuralalala!!"

Whitebeard suddenly burst into laughter.

It must be said that, setting aside the adversarial stance, this kid is actually not annoying.

It can only be said that fate played a cruel trick on us.

"Come on, kid!!"

The naginata in his hand was once again enveloped in Shockwave and Haki, and the entire island and the atmosphere covering it began to tremble at the same time.

"Let me show you your true power!"

Is that so?

Ian smiled. "Then I'll grant your wish."

The next instant, Ian's body, which was shining with golden light, suddenly expanded.

The golden divine bird, which blotted out the sky, flapped its wings, creating a hurricane, and floated in the sky.

What a colossal creature it was!

With its wingspan extended, it exceeds 500 meters!

Just by floating in the sky, it already looks like a golden cloud!

The mere flapping of its wings could unleash an unstoppable gale.

Then, brilliant golden flames rose up from the body of this enormous Golden Flying Dragon.

This enormous body then melted in the flames.

The next moment, a bird of fire stretched across the sky.

The crimson color rapidly expanded within the golden flames, turning Ian's body a deep crimson in the blink of an eye.

"This is the Winged Dragon of Ra, the Phoenix Form of the Sun God!"

A sound like thunder flowed down from the mouth of the firebird.

"Are you ready, Whitebeard?"

He was merely floating in the sky, while the ground below was constantly melting, and thick fog was rising from the distant sea.

The Moby Dick, anchored on the shore, burst into flames, Whitebeard Pirates screamed as they staggered backward.

"The Winged Dragon of Ra of Apollo, the Sun God?"

Hawk Eyes murmured softly.

Sun God?

The Winged Dragon of Ra?

Is this the name of Ian's ability, which is almost unknown to most people on the high seas?

Hawk Eyes had also heard some of the legends about the Sun God.

Is this the ability that Ian possesses?

"Have you finally gone all out?"

Whitebeard lowered his body, raising his naginata behind him.

At this moment, his face lost all its gloom and solemnity, replaced instead by childlike joy.

In the final moments, in this moment of letting go of everything, I was able to laugh.

"Bring it on!"

The man, who had long been known as a legendary pirate who roamed the world, leaped into the air and swung his greatsword at the enormous firebird in the sky.

"Farewell, Whitebeard- senpai."

The firebird flapped its wings and swooped down.

"Sky-shattering!!"

The broadsword swung down.

The surging Haki and Shockwave tore a gash in the firebird's head.

But in the next instant, the firebird had already swallowed Whitebeard whole.

The enormous firebird crashed onto the shore.

The spiraling crimson flames shot into the sky in an instant, piercing deep into the heavens, perhaps even flying directly beyond the world.

"Ugh!!"

Teach's entire body had turned completely black, and he was being pushed backward.

He was too close to Lord Ian at that moment, and even though the flames hadn't spread, the intense heat they emitted was almost unbearable for him.

That's an exaggeration!

Hawk Eyes gazed up at the towering vortex of flames that seemed to stretch endlessly, and couldn't help but marvel, "If Ian hadn't deliberately controlled the flames, hadn't intentionally directed the explosions into the sky, then this island, along with all of us, would probably be wiped out by now, wouldn't we?"

The flames vanished in the next instant, leaving behind a bottomless circular crater on the shore.

Ian had returned to human form and was standing next to the large crater.

He casually grabbed whatever he was holding and threw it towards the Whitebeard Pirates.

The long sword spun in the air before crashing down and embedding itself in front of Vista, who was kneeling on the ground.

"These were specially saved for you."

Ian said, "Take it home as a souvenir."

Even now, no Famous Sword of the Supreme Grade Sword grade can withstand Ian's Destruction Flame.

However, Ian still kept the knife.

Whitebeard himself has already vanished into thin air, but at least he should leave some mementos for his dutiful sons and grandsons.

"Pops!!"

Vista stared at the knife before him, his body trembling violently as he collapsed to his knees, writhing like a caterpillar as he wailed.

"Ian!!"

Amidst a roar like that of a demon, a delicate voice rushed toward Ian.

"Time and time again! How many more members of my family do you want to kill?!"

Hiyori has completely collapsed.

Over the years, she had come to regard the Whitebeard as her real father.

Even though he was her biological father by blood, Kozuki Oden might not have been as important to her as Whitebeard.

But now, this father has also been killed by Ian, and his remains have been lost!

All reason vanished at that moment; only one thought remained in the girl's mind: to use the knife in her hand to chop off Ian's dog head.

Ian acted as if he hadn't seen Hiyori, and with a light leap, he crossed the crater and landed in front of Hawk Eyes and the others.

"Let's go back to Onigashima."

He said.

The Sphinx is located in the later part of the New World, beyond Onigashima.

So now we can return to Onigashima to gather all our companions and head to the Sphinx to obtain the final stone and confirm the location of the Final Island.

Finally, go and seize the Great Treasure.

"I can't wait!"

Teach chuckled and asked, "What exactly are hidden within the legendary Great Treasure?"

Hawk Eyes glanced at the guy again.

Look at this! Is this the mental state someone who just lost their father should have?

"We'll find out soon."

Ian said.

Behind her, Hiyori rushed to the edge of the crater and was about to leap up when a blue shadow suddenly swooped down from the sky and pinned her to the ground.

"Hiyori! Don't be impulsive!"

Marco suppressed Hiyori's anger, his own face also streaming with tears and snot, his entire face a mess, but he still forced himself to shout through his grief.

"Don't forget your Pops's orders! Don't let your Pops down!"

"Waaaaaah!!"

Hiyori broke down in tears, her right hand gripping the knife, desperately reaching forward as if to pierce the distant figure through the air, crying out, "Ian! Ian!!!"

Ian stopped in his tracks.

Marco looked up in horror.

Ian turned around and said, "By the way, although Whitebeard told you to disband the Whitebeard Pirates, let's not disband them yet."

"Don't rush to let the World Government know about today's events. Before the final war begins, let's do what needs to be done first."

Marco nearly ground his teeth to powder.

After giving one last word of advice, Ian turned around and continued walking forward.

"Teach, you'll be keeping an eye on them from now on."

He said.

"Learn!"

Teach's eyes flashed with a fierce light instantly. "Heh heh, leave it to me, Lord Ian!"

"If they make any move, I will personally send them to hell!"

Ian nodded slightly.

As he said, after Whitebeard died, the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates were no longer relevant.

Next, it's time to go to Laugh Tale.
