The moment the Heavenly Bull, Newgate knew that his move was doomed.
As lightning flashed, his tall figure leaped from the Moby Dick into the battlefield.
With a thud, Newgate landed firmly on the ground amidst the chaos of the battlefield.
"Dad!"
"Protect Dad!"
Several pirates who were nearby were shouting as they approached Newgate.
Newgate ignored them, Cloud-Cutting Sword to send several Marines who were trying to kill him flying. He then looked back at the platform, a cruel and confident smile playing on his lips, and shouted, "If you want to stop me, try it!"
Seeing this, Ortolan laughed heartily and said, "Since you've extended such a warm invitation, then this Admiral will not stand on ceremony!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ortolan did not immediately transform into Inazuma and rush in. Instead, he exerted force with his foot and leaped off the high platform, falling into the battlefield.
Almost at the same moment that Ortolan crashed into the battlefield, Newgate had already single-handedly left behind the pirates who had followed him and charged deep into the Marines formation.
He was standing right where Vice Admiral Kaisa was holding the line!
"What bad luck! So many places, are they all heading straight for me?" Kaisa sighed helplessly as she watched the Whitebeard wielding his Cloud-Cutting Sword and charging towards her.
Even though he knew he was no match for Whitebeard, and that his strength was insufficient to stop Whitebeard's advance.
But at this moment, on the battlefield, he had no choice!
Alternatively, one could display the backbone and spirit of Marine Admiral, drawing one's sword even when outmatched.
Or, they could tuck their tails between their legs, like stray dogs, and flee in a sorry state across the world, utterly disgracing the Marines!
But how could Marine Admiral not have such backbone?
"Come on!" Kaisa roared, emboldened by her own courage. She raised her hand and slashed the pirate in front of her with two strikes, then stepped forward to face Whitebeard.
After getting within ten meters of Whitebeard, Kaisa Soru forward and disappeared from her original spot in an instant. The next second, she appeared directly in front of Newgate, brandishing her sword with a ferocious expression, as if she wanted to kill Whitebeard with a single blow.
Although he didn't shout "You've shown a weakness, Whitebeard!", Newgate still easily threw a punch forward into the air.
A powerful shockwave erupted from his fist, instantly shattering the space in front of Kaisa like a spiderweb. Immediately afterward, an invisible force penetrated his body, causing his face to suddenly turn bright red.
Without a second thought, Kaisa, as if unable to hold her breath any longer, coughed and spat out a large amount of foul blood. Her figure was blasted away by this attack, flying dozens of meters away before crashing to the ground and rolling several times.
He wasn't dead, and his injuries weren't too serious, but Kaisa was too weak to fight any longer. He was half-squatting on the ground, panting heavily, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, looking utterly pathetic.
Just then, Smoker, who was nearby, swatted away two pirates and stood protectively beside Kaisa, asking, "Vice Admiral Kaisa, are you alright?"
"The problem is huge... but I can still hold on... No wonder he's called the Strongest Man, he's really a monster..." Kaisa spat out two mouthfuls of blood and said weakly.
It is obvious that although the Elite Vice Admiral- level Marines officers are not bad in strength, there is still an insurmountable gap compared to the top-tier, so-called strongest Whitebeard. They are at the level of being instantly killed.
At the same moment, on the other side, Ortolan fell from the high platform towards the battlefield. As soon as he landed, a streak of blue flame flapped its wings and attacked him.
It's definitely Marco!
Marco had previously faced Gion, and he was found to be more mobile than Gion.
He spotted the battlefield where Ortolan had fallen, and the surrounding area was chaotic. He saw this as an opportunity, so he broke away from Gion and attacked Ortolan.
Forget about one-on-one duels. This is war, Ortolan war between the Marines and pirates. He doesn't expect to defeat Ortolan in one blow; that's unrealistic. If he can cause Ortolan some trouble and weaken his strength before he fights his father, that would be ideal.
However, ideals are often grand, while reality is often harsh.
Marco felt that he was fast enough, and he made his move at the exact moment Ortolan's feet landed, which should allow him to succeed.
In the next instant, lightning crackled around Ortolan, and his strong arm rose up, passing him in a flash!
"Thunder Plow Heat Blade!" Ortolan shouted.
It seemed that Marco only reacted after he shouted those words. With a bang, the blue flames on Marco's neck exploded, and then his head and shoulders were thrown off like a ball by the belated impact, landing on the battlefield dozens of meters away. He was then accidentally kicked another dozen meters away by another pirate.
After instantly killing Marco, Ortolan didn't even bother to look back. He stretched his shoulders slightly, and with a leisurely gait, as if walking through a quiet alley, he treated the battlefield as if it were nothing, and walked towards Newgate's direction.
It was only then that Marco seemed to realize what was happening. His head, which had been kicked away, was instantly burned to nothingness by the blue flames. Then, a large amount of blue flames emerged from his broken neck, and in a moment, a brand new head grew back.
To be fair, his Phoenix Mythical Zoan ability is at least incredibly strong in terms of being able to withstand blows!
With both Kaisa and Marco's surprise attacks on the two Admiral ending in defeat, the remaining Marines and pirates, seeing their two leaders facing off, stopped making futile attempts and instinctively moved aside, clearing a wide path for them.
Therefore, Ortolan and Newgate stopped wasting any energy and focused their attention on each other.
With each step they took forward, their aura intensified, and their imposing presence gradually spread outwards with each step.
The Marines and pirates, who had already cleared the way, were unable to resist the overwhelming pressure and were forced back to a more distant area. It was as if they had escaped from the mud, and upon closer inspection, they found that they were all soaked in sweat!
As Ortolan and Newgate drew closer, the Live Broadcast Den Den Mushi focused their attention on the situation, quickly broadcasting it to the entire world.
At this very moment, on Cake Island, Charlotte Linlin, seated on her throne, had stopped tossing and turning the pastries in front of her. She involuntarily sat up straight, her eyes gleaming with a sharp light as she stared intently at the two figures on the screen that were getting closer and closer.
Wano Country - Onigashima!
Kaido also stopped his heavy drinking, leaned forward slightly, and stared intently at the large screen not far away.
Is it coming?
In fact, Kaido has never really acknowledged the title of Whitebeard strongest, as he believes that in a one-on-one fight, he is not necessarily worse than the current Whitebeard!
In the original story, Kaido even earned the titles of "strongest in one-on-one combat" and "Strongest Creature in the World" because of this.
Now, because of the appearance of Ortolan, Charlotte Linlin, who used to rely on her talent, have children, and overeat, has undergone a great change. In order to avoid being betrayed by Ortolan, this filial son, Charlotte Linlin still has children and overeats, but she no longer relies on her talent. This can be seen from the fact that she can control her figure.
When Charlotte Linlin had nothing to do on weekdays, she would also hone her skills like crazy.
Not long ago, Charlotte Linlin wanted to go to Onigashima to bring Yamato back to Whole Cake Island for a while, but Kaido disagreed, and the two sides fought a big battle on the coast of Wano Country.
In conclusion, Charlotte Linlin gave Kaido beating and successfully brought Yamato back to Cake Island. Not long after, Katakuri personally went to find Rouge and brought Rouge and Ace to Cake Island. Now, Ace, Rouge, Yamato are all with Charlotte Linlin.
In short, based on Kaido's current feelings, he doesn't think he's necessarily worse than Whitebeard. However, the facts prove that he can't beat Charlotte Linlin in a one-on-one fight... So to some extent, Kaido believes that Charlotte Linlin might be the strongest in the world.
What Whitebeard said wasn't wrong; the Strongest Man, no problem, since Charlotte Linlin is a woman.
