"Heh, you old devil, you've got some nerve!"
They actually alerted those old bastards living up there!
Across from Whitebeard, he watched the Red Line churn in the distance, with massive boulders constantly falling down.
Garp frowned, letting out a worried, bitter smile.
"This is exactly what you did, and you, with just a casual snap Sengoku, managed to make this happen!"
This is really troublesome. If those guys get alerted, even if we win this battle, it will feel like we've lost.
Most importantly...
Next, Newgate, you old codger, you better not try this trick again.
Otherwise, I will have to let you die on the battlefield!
Without waiting for Whitebeard's Whitebeard, Garp rushed towards him.
Facing Garp's furious attack, Whitebeard sighed and shook his head with a bitter expression.
"Even as an enemy, I don't want to use those guys to cause you trouble!"
But... sorry, veteran Garp!
Right now, facing danger are my dearest sons!
Even if the world were to collapse at this moment, I must fulfill my responsibility as a father and protect my sons firmly!!!
As soon as he finished speaking, Whitebeard extended his right hand again. He wasn't putting enough pressure on Mary Geoise yet!
We must continue to shake the Red Line until the Navy backs down and makes way for our sons to retreat!
Seeing Whitebeard's movements, Garp charged forward while letting out an angry roar.
"You dare!!!"
"Why wouldn't I dare, Land Quake?!"
With the Whitebeard voice, new cracks were about to spread through the air.
Seeing Whitebeard's movements, Garp's speed immediately increased, and in the blink of an eye, his fist was about to smash into Whitebeard's heart!
Facing Garp's fist, Whitebeard focused his attention on Teach, who was flying towards him from afar, while also feeling the force of the impact and shaking the Red Line.
Immediately afterwards, he had to use his left hand to try to block the full-force attack that was fueled by his anger!
As expected, Whitebeard slammed Garp's left hand, which he had been using to block, aside in the blink of an eye, and Garp's fist, after breaking through the defense, slammed into Whitebeard's body!
Boom!!!
The Whitebeard's enormous body was instantly pushed back, retreating hundreds of meters before finally standing upright, coughing up blood.
As he coughed up the blood that had accumulated in his chest, Whitebeard stomped his feet hard, and with each lunge, he got closer and closer to the falling Teach!
Meanwhile, Whitebeard's second Land Quake ultimately affected the Red Line.
Although this tremor is much smaller than the previous one, the aftershocks that occur right after the earthquake in Mariejois will probably scare those Celestial Dragon so much they'll wet their pants.
As Mary Geoise descended into chaos once more, Garp's speed surged, his hair now standing on end, and his furious target was none other than Whitebeard himself!
As Whitebeard attempted to catch Blackbeard, Garp continuously gathered his strength in mid-air.
But the next moment, a burly and somewhat obese figure suddenly blocked Garp's path!
"Why did you hit my dad, you old man?!"
Don't worry, Dad, I'm here to save you!
The enemy is just an old man; even if he's strong, I can handle him!
"Just do what you want to do, Dad!!!"
While shouting, Weevil. used his Naginata to block Garp's full-force punch.
Only...
Even though he defended desperately, even though he possessed the strength of Whitebeard in his youth.
Even with all those "evens, "Weevil.'s Naginata was still easily broken in two by Garp!
Click!
A crisp sound.
The instant the Naginata shattered, Garp's fist slammed into Weevil.'s chest!
Bang!
Boom!!!
Weevil. was sent flying backwards and crashed to the ground, his tumbling figure kicking up hundreds of meters of dust before finally coming to rest amidst the ruins.
"This...?!!"
In that instant, Whitebeard's heart... was truly filled with confusion...
He even felt like crying.
His own son... his own son who had been dead for so long...
He actually still wants to protect his Pops, who doesn't want to acknowledge him?
But... but the boundary between life and death should not be easily broken. Even if it is painful, the dead should not return to the world of the living!
My son... you...
You...
Amidst the endless pain, Whitebeard reached out and caught the weakened Teach in his arms.
Looking at Teach's injuries, one can only say that his opponent truly deserves to be called Fleet Admiral.
Whitebeard, who had fought Sengoku countless times, knew all too well how hard Sengoku's fists were.
In just one confrontation, nearly a third of the bones in Teach's body were broken!
This is an injury that needs immediate treatment, but on the battlefield right now, there's really no chance to treat Teach!
So...
I'm afraid I really will have to leave the front lines temporarily and return to the ship to guard it, so as to create a safe environment for Teach receive treatment!
Thinking this, Whitebeard looked at Garp with difficulty.
Just then, Weevil., who had just been knocked down, actually got up again and rushed in front of Garp!
Seeing Weevil. being sent flying by Garp's punch once again, Whitebeard's heart trembled violently once more.
Even if he doesn't accept me, does he still deeply love me as his father...?
Such a son...
If one cannot even acknowledge a son like this, then how can one be worthy of the title of father?!
Having made up his mind, Whitebeard, carrying Teach, charged towards Garp and Weevil.
As he charged forward, Whitebeard spoke to Teach, who was in his arms with a bewildered look in his eyes.
"Teach, my son, it's just one failure. Don't look so weak!"
Even I have faced near-death situations more than once in my life!
As long as we bravely raise our heads in the face of adversity, we can overcome all suffering!
As he spoke, Whitebeard lifted Teach with one hand and slammed the other hand down hard on Garp, who was attacking Weevil.
Boom!!!
Just as their fists collided, Whitebeard, vomiting blood, spoke to the swaying Weevil. beside him.
"Boy, I acknowledge you as my son!"
Whether you crawled back from the world of death or not, or even if you were simply a creation of that woman.
No matter who you are, since you are willing to regard me as your father, then I should fulfill the responsibilities of a father!
That old bastard Garp is mine!
As for you, my son!
Bring your brother back to the Moby Dick!
From this day forward, the Moby Dick is your ship too, son!!!
While yelling at Weevil., Newgate shoved Teach into the arms of the shocked Whitebeard II.
Hearing Whitebeard's words, Whitebeard II. was shocked. He hugged Teach and asked incredulously.
"Dad, what did you just do?"
Did you just admit I was right?!
Have I gained your approval?
I...?!!"
"Alright, kid, I acknowledge you!"
Quickly take your brother to a safe place!
As for that old guy Garp!
You bunch of brats aren't worthy to be enemies of this old devil. Let your Pops deal with him!
After abruptly interrupting Whitebeard II., Whitebeard kicked his son in the backside, sending the dazed boy hurtling toward the Moby Dick.
Meanwhile, Kizaru, who was far away, finally managed to temporarily break free from Marcosach and charged towards Whitebeard Jr.!
Just as he passed by Whitebeard, Kizaru frowned.
"The Ama no Murakumo Sword!"
Without a word, Kizaru casually pulled out his lightsaber and unleashed a fierce attack on Whitebeard. Cursing under his breath, he turned and dodged Whitebeard's attack, continuing his pursuit of Blackbeard and Whitebeard II.
"Oh dear, this is really troublesome. You've disturbed the dragons lurking on Mary Geoise!"
This would not only significantly diminish our gains, but the Fleet Admiral and we would also be reprimanded by the Five Elders.
Even Gawain will be affected!
Whitebeard, you deserve to die!
And me, this old man, with my hands and feet tied down by two weaklings, I'm probably just as deserving of death as you!"
As they were talking, Kizaru appeared in front of Whitebeard II. in the blink of an eye!
Seeing Kizaru transform into light and kick towards him, Whitebeard II. Kizaru, holding his broken sword, shouted stupidly.
Even my Pops has accepted me!
Why!
Why are you blocking my way?!
"Go to hell, you old bastard!!!"
With a desperate roar, Weevil Whitebeard II, Weevil, gripped the remaining hilt of the broken sword with both hands and swung his blade, covered in thick Armament Haki, at Kizaru!
Seeing the blade coming straight at him, Kizaru suddenly stopped!
In that instant, the entire world seemed to freeze completely for Kizaru!
Whether it's the sword of the Whitebeard II or the ever-blowing wind.
Teach, protected by the Whitebeard II.
Garp swung his fist at Whitebeard.
Sengoku, holding Marco's fiery wings and posing as if running.
Yamato followed behind Whitebeard II, attempting to continue pursuing Whitebeard II.
Countless people stopped what they were doing at that moment.
At that moment, Kizaru looked at Gawain with a bitter expression.
Gawain nodded slightly in response to Kizaru's gaze, then shook his head.
Seeing this, Kizaru shrugged helplessly and then raised his right hand.
The next moment, his hand gripped Weevil's knife tightly!
The instant the finger touched the blade...
The world suddenly started spinning!
Everyone resumed their actions almost simultaneously.
Kizaru, gripping Weevil's blade, spoke coldly and harshly.
"How long will it take you to understand that not everyone is qualified to challenge a great...?"
Ha?!!
Holy crap!!!
Before Kizaru could finish speaking, he felt an incomprehensible, surging force coming from his hand!
Even though he immediately tried to block Weevil's knife with both hands, he was still thrown backward by the knife!
With an incredulous look in his eyes, Kizaru stared at Weevil in surprise.
"This power, damn it!"
This power is practically comparable to Whitebeard in his youth!!!
While making his assessment, Kizaru had no choice but to release Weevil's sword!
The fat man in front of me, covered in stitches, seemed dim-witted and knew nothing of fighting techniques; he just swung his arms wildly and randomly.
But...
This guy is incredibly strong!
Kizaru was almost certain that if it were just a matter of muscle strength, even Sakazuki wouldn't be a match for this guy!!!
Meanwhile, in Weevil's arms.
Kizaru's surprised tone finally brought Teach, who was in a daze, back to his senses.
As soon as he regained consciousness, he quickly turned to look at his Pops.
Faced with Garp's relentless pursuit, Whitebeard desperately parried while coughing up countless amounts of blood!
Whitebeard was exhausted after that battle!
Compared to Garp, who was all alone and didn't care about anything, Whitebeard had far too many things to worry about, namely his weaknesses!
This is also why Garp didn't use his full strength before.
In Garp's eyes, if he had to use all his strength to fight a Whitebeard was in extremely poor condition, it would be taking advantage of his vulnerability!
Therefore, it wasn't until Whitebeard destroyed the Red Line that Garp finally unleashed his full power!
He looked at Whitebeard, who was being overwhelmed and beaten by Garp.
Teach's heart skipped a beat!
My Pops's blood... was it to save me?
Yes!
That's just the kind of person my Pops is!
Teach desperately tried to convince himself that it was all hypocrisy, and just Whitebeard's arrogant behavior!
The reason I joined the Whitebeard Pirates was precisely to take advantage of Whitebeard!
But...
But...
In that instant, countless images flashed through Teach's mind.
"Since my son wants that damned Devil Fruit, then your Pops will make sure you're satisfied!"
Because we're the Whitebeard Pirates!!!
"Work hard, my son. As long as you are worthy of my chair, it will be yours sooner or later!"
Roger entrusted all his treasures to Laugh Tale!
And my treasures, my Pops, you have always been by my side!
"This battle is going to be tough, Teach. You better be careful, don't treat this one like you've always done!"
"I'll die sooner or Pops, and even I only have one heart!"
But Pops can die, but you can't!
The vast ocean beneath my feet is almost overflowing with ships that can carry this old man!
And you!
"Only on the day I die will your ship truly set sail!"
In an instant, countless voices of Whitebeard rushed into Teach's ears.
Immediately following Whitebeard were the voices of Marco, Jozu, Thatch, and others.
Finally, the sound and image lingered on Thatch.
In a daze, Teach seemed to see that day again.
"Hey, you got here fast, Teach!"
Come quick, see what I brought back for you, bro!
Haha, I've found the Yami Yami no Mi you wanted!
How about that, surprised?
But you don't need to be surprised, because we always get what we want!
As for why?
Because we're the Whitebeard Pirates!!!
In that instant, Teach clenched his fist tightly.
The next moment, unparalleled Conqueror's Haki suddenly surged from Blackbeard's body!
And Teach...
He wasn't supposed to have Conqueror's Haki...
