Karp's Intervention

Boom~~~

Akainu transformed into a magma man and barely managed to block Whitebeard's fists. But he never expected Whitebeard to suddenly use both his fists and feet. He had just blocked a punch when a sharp pain struck his lower abdomen, and his entire body was kicked flying.

"Damn it!!!"

Akainu slammed into the ground like a sandbag, rolling several times before bracing himself with both hands. He looked toward the towering figure ahead, who was suppressing Hawkeye and Kuma like a demon god. Clenching his fists, he pounded the ground and charged forward once more.

Whitebeard swept Hawkeye's Black Blade aside with a slash. Holding his blade in both hands, he unleashed a seamless web of strikes, accompanied by layers of wild vibrations. The earth shook and the sea roiled. It was terrifying.

Hawkeye was completely focused and didn't dare be careless in the slightest. Being suppressed once again, he felt tremendous pressure. This time, he was facing a monster he had already prepared himself to confront. His purpose in coming to Marineford was to witness just how powerful one of the kings of the previous era truly was.

Bartholomew Kuma attacked without saying a word. After being modified by the World Government's scientists, he should have completely lost his personality and become a weapon. Yet for some unknown reason, after fighting Gu Sheng, his Spiritual Energy seemed to have been stirred.

However, his incomplete consciousness instead affected his performance. His consciousness and mechanical modifications were fundamentally opposed, repelling each other and preventing Bartholomew Kuma from displaying his full strength. This became even more obvious when he faced an Admiral-Emperor-level opponent.

Akainu joined the battlefield again, but he seemed to be targeted by Whitebeard and suffered the most miserable fate. Either Whitebeard cleaved him in half with a slash
