Whitebeard's Wrath

Oden's death was a regret for many, especially for the many swordsmen who were an important force on the sea.

Oden was a man who stood at the pinnacle of swordsmanship, helping Roger become king, and his amazing performance in the swordsmanship tournament, reaching the pinnacle of sword sharpness.

The only man to leave a scar on Kaido, who is said to be Immortal Body.

In many people's minds, Kozuki Oden is the World's Strongest Two-Sword Style swordsman.

How can one not feel regret that such a man, who did not die in battle but was poisoned, could be so tragically killed?

However, too many powerful figures have died on the seas over the years, such as Golden Lion Shiki, Bondy a, and the Demon Caesar, whose fate remains unknown.

These men who once dominated the seas are all dead. Kozuki Oden a figure of great interest, but as time goes by, everything will pass.

In this age of information overload, Oden will be forgotten after a while.

The Whitebeard Pirates left Wano Country, provided some supplies after Oden's funeral, but did not stay.

Whitebeard was furious. Kozuki Oden had died before his eyes, and he was powerless to stop it.

Whitebeard would not let Oden's death go unpunished; anyone who harmed his family would face retribution from the Whitebeard Pirates.

The other factions were also very curious about what Whitebeard would do next.

Is it possible that some calm seas are about to be stirred into storms?

Over the past year, the four pirate crews now at the pinnacle of the seas have remained remarkably calm.

Kaido of the Beasts didn't cause any trouble; Big Mom was busy conquering Elbaf and strengthening her relationship with the Giant race.

After occupying part of the Demon Pirates, the Night Pirates did nothing.

A few self-important pirates felt that the Night Pirates, who already had such a large territory, had also taken over the Demon Pirates' territory, and were somewhat resentful.

They formed Pirate Alliance to fight against Slada, and at the same time, they also had the idea of making a name for themselves by taking advantage of Slada.

People are forgetful. If the main members of the Night Pirates don't make a move for a long time, it will create a misconception among some pirates.

How can a video compare to a personal experience?

They thought that by joining forces they could defeat Slada, and rose to power by leveraging the reputation of the Night Pirates.

There was only one ultimate fate: to die easily under Slada's sword.

The overwhelming power dealt a fatal blow to many arrogant pirates.

Even Slada didn't need to lift a finger; several well-known pirates were defeated by Slada subordinates.

At the same time, Slada's famous quote spread throughout the world in a very short time.

"Want to cause me trouble? Raise your bounty to one billion Beli first!" Only someone with absolute confidence in their strength could say such a thing.

How many pirates on the high seas have bounties exceeding one billion Beli?

Everyone could hear that only those with a bounty of one billion Beli were qualified to challenge Slada.

Because Slada currently has a bounty of 1.42 billion Beli on the high seas, and is known as the Emperor Crocodile.

The Red-Haired Pirates are recovering and expanding.

The Whitebeard Pirates held a "Dark Festival," Pirate Expo, six months ago, fulfilling a promise they made years ago after witnessing the Night Pirates' Expo.

While the Whitebeard Pirates' event wasn't as spectacular as the Night Pirates', the appearance of a groundbreaking product like a mechanical arm was still quite captivating. They also prepared a considerable number of Devil Fruit, as well as some unknown Devil Fruit.

Since no one wants to eat the unknown Devil Fruit, it's better to sell it and use the proceeds to support our hometown.

Members from various top powers were also present, giving the Whitebeard Pirates face.

That was also a grand Pirate Expo, so many years later.

At Marine Headquarters, Sengoku's expression turned grave as news of Kozuki Oden's death spread.

Although I disapprove of the World Government's actions and the existence of forbidden plants, Kozuki Oden's death is a good thing. The World Government and the Navy will definitely have to bear the consequences of the plan's success.

Whitebeard's anger, Red Wizard's anger, and the Joker's anger.

Those who had close relationships with Kozuki Oden on the high seas were Whitebeard, Red-Haired Shanks, and Clown Buggy.

It might even include Marshall D. Teach, the leader of the Night Pirates, after all, the Dark Lord was once a member of the Whitebeard Pirates.

This puts enormous pressure on the navy.

Although the World Government was responsible for this, the Navy is not without fault and even has to be the main force to resist the pirates' attacks.

According to intelligence, after leaving Wano Country, the Whitebeard Pirates did not return to their own territory, but instead sailed towards the Red Line.

Given Whitebeard's temperament, he would definitely take action against the Navy or the World Government.

If he did nothing, what would become of Whitebeard's reputation? He couldn't bring himself to lead his own child in a devastating battle and suffer heavy casualties for the sake of Kozuki Oden Whitebeard.

But Whitebeard was bound to vent his anger and couldn't just sit idly by. His chosen targets were naturally the World Government and the Marine Branch in the New World.

This was a destined act of revenge, triggered by Oden's death.

"What do we do next?" A Marine below asked. Most of the Marines were under great pressure as they were about to face Whitebeard.

Whitebeard was renowned for his devastating power, possessing the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, known for its immense offensive capabilities.

Despite suffering heavy losses at the hands of the Night Pirates, the pirate crew under their protection still possesses considerable power.

If Whitebeard were to personally intervene, many people would be killed like cannon fodder.

How to respond is a concern for many navies; they certainly don't want to court death.

Especially now that the navy is still in the recovery phase, it cannot afford to suffer too many losses.

"Ahem!" Staff Officer He coughed lightly, and all eyes fell on her.

"Admiral Aokiji, Gion, and Kake, and... to provide support in the New World."

"Remember, there's no need to fight Whitebeard head-on. Just hold him off. If necessary, you can abandon the naval fortress. The Whitebeard Pirates won't really start a war with us; they'll leave when things are more or less over."

Tsuru gave the order, Kuzan and the other two nodded. For Kake and Gion, facing the Whitebeard Pirates would also be a test for them.

While they say they'll drag it out, the two sides will definitely engage in a direct confrontation.

Whitebeard's anger needs to subside. In Tsuru's view, sacrificing a Marine Branch is the most they can afford, but the Marines cannot easily compromise; a battle is necessary.

Actually, the Whitebeard Pirates are not a big threat to the Navy. As long as you don't cross Whitebeard's line Whitebeard, he generally won't cause trouble.

Now, the Whitebeard is showing signs of aging; it is obvious that his long golden hair has all fallen out, leaving him bald.

This Whitebeard cares more about his family, prefers a stable life, stays in his own little world, and is not very aggressive.

In comparison, among the other Sea Emperor, the greatest threat is the Night Pirates, currently the strongest overlords of the New World, possessing the title of Emperor, and standing a head taller than the other Sea Emperor.

Its overall strength is terrifying in every aspect, making it very difficult to deal with; it can be said to be without any weaknesses.

Next up is the Beasts Pirates. Kaido of the Beasts loves to cause trouble and constantly collects Zoan Devil Fruit. The Beasts Pirates have been spotted all over the Grand Line, vying for Zoan Devil Fruit.

Finally, there's the Big Mom Pirates.

The only truly significant threat to the Whitebeard Pirates was Whitebeard's own Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability.

"Also, keep an eye on the movements of the Red-Haired Pirates and the Clown Pirates. Although they haven't made any moves yet, they might still get involved."

The navy cannot afford any further disruptions and is primarily focused on defense, which has been its policy towards the New World in recent times.

Frankly, the trauma inflicted by Bondy a was immense, dealing another heavy blow before the Navy had even begun to recover.

The World Government cannot avoid this kind of situation, since they were the ones who caused it, and they need to deploy some of their forces to alleviate the pressure on the Navy.

Meanwhile, the naval forces in the various Marine Branch of the New World, from G1 Branch to G5 Branch, began to withdraw.

To minimize losses, this is a battle between the strong.

The war is about to begin. With the power of Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he could easily affect them if he wanted to. In order to minimize losses, they should evacuate in advance.

As long as the people are still alive, the branch can be rebuilt at any time, and Admiral Kuzan has no worries and doesn't need to hold himself back.

Both the Red-Haired Pirates and the Clown Pirates are located in the early New World, so they can make a move at any time if they want.

If they were to take action themselves, the navy would face immense pressure.

"Captain, should we make a move?" Beckman asked Shanks, turning to him as he looked at the news about the Whitebeard Pirates in the newspaper. The eyes of the other crew members around them all fell on Shanks.

They would follow Shanks' orders, no matter what decision he made.

"No need." Shanks shook his head. He had survived Captain Roger's death, let alone Kozuki Oden. They had only been on the same ship for less than a year.

It's a bit of a pity, though, because I still cherish those beautiful memories.

Shanks is a rational person who values the big picture, the situation at sea, and the future development of his own pirate crew on the high seas.

Right now, accumulating strength is the most important thing. Becoming Emperor is the big picture, and everything else must be compromised. Under these circumstances, there is no benefit in clashing with the Navy and the World Government.

"But Buggy probably won't be able to resist, right?" Shanks chuckled as he said this.

Compared to Shanks, Buggy is more like a pirate. He loves treasure, doesn't care about harming the innocent, and retains the habits from his time with the Roger Pirates. He celebrates with parties whenever he's happy. He takes good care of those he respects, and he was very angry when he saw his subordinates being defeated, so he avenged them.

He believed that the true nature of pirates was to "plunder wealth," so he was always very excited and proactive when fighting enemy ships.

Buggy is much more ruthless in his style than Shanks, and he likes to make decisions based on his mood.

Just as Shanks had predicted, Buggy was furious upon learning of Kozuki Oden's death and was so enraged that he wanted to start a war with the Navy.

On Roger Pirates's ship, the cheerful Oden had a very good relationship with Buggy and Shanks. How could Buggy not feel sad and angry when Oden died?

However, his subordinates stopped him from doing so, arguing that wars shouldn't be started arbitrarily, but rather with the benefit of the situation, rather than simply wasting resources.

First mate Carlos could tell that his captain needed to vent his anger.

Taking action against the Navy is fine, even if it's alongside the Whitebeard Pirates; we all share the same goal anyway.

Destroying the World Government and the Navy is impossible, but their sheer size can withstand the wrath of Whitebeard and Buggy.

This is just a channel for venting; one person wants to vent, while the other passively vents.

Clown Buggy's intervention greatly increased the pressure on the Navy, prompting them to send Vice Admiral Garp to deal with Whitebeard Aokiji to deal with Clown Buggy.

A massive naval battle erupts in the early part of the New World.

The war between the Clown Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, and the Marines has garnered much attention.

The attack began with a Quake Punch, a terrifying assault that caused the sea to surge and the orderly ranks of naval warships to be scattered in an instant.

Cracks appeared on the warships, caused by the vibrations spreading through the air.

Such a large area was so overwhelming that even the Haki power of many of the navy's strongest warriors could not completely withstand it, fortunately there were no casualties.

The next moment, the sea surged with towering waves, a tsunami caused by Whitebeard's power.

One can imagine how furious Whitebeard was; he started with these two powerful attacks, wide-range moves with immense destructive force.

"The Ice Age!"

The sea was frozen in just a few breaths; the originally ferocious and oppressive waves turned into ice crystals and froze in the air.

"Split!"

With a roar, Buggy appeared, throwing a punch in mid-air, the power of splitting apart concentrated in his fists, and swinging it with all his might!

The invisible ripples dissipated, instantly enveloping the entire frozen area, as if time had stood still.

The next moment, the frozen sea and waves shattered, smoothly divided into countless pieces.

It collapsed with a crash, and countless pieces of ice fell onto the sea, forming floating ice floes and leaving behind a devastated battlefield.

"Newgate, you're not getting past me today." Garp took the lead, laughing loudly, stepping on the floating ice floes, his astonishing explosive power shooting out like cannonballs as he swung his iron fist.

Facing Garp, Whitebeard remained silent, responding with a punch enveloped in a white sphere of light, unleashing a powerful shockwave.

Marco and Shiori, two powerful Whitebeard Pirates, fought alongside Kake and Gion.

Kuzan single-handedly takes on Clown Buggy.

While Kuzan cannot compare to Buggy, who possesses the Split Fruit, in terms of destructive power, Kuzan is undoubtedly superior in overall combat strength.

Whether it's physique, physical strength, or Haki presence.

Kuzan is also a very tough opponent for Buggy.

Kuzan can defend against ranged attacks with ice, and he can also become elemental, making him immune to their attacks.

In close combat, he has a clear advantage in destructive power, but Kuzan's cold aura can constantly affect his body, and coupled with his greater endurance, the longer the battle lasts, the more disadvantageous it becomes for him.

This battle lasted for a full half month Whitebeard Pirates and the Buggy Pirates departed.

The navy, at the cost of four thousand marines, successfully thwarted Whitebeard's wrath.
