The Second Summit War Begins!

The appearance of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The appearance of Whitebeard.

This greatly excited Blackbeard Teach on the Execution Platform. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he roared passionately, his voice cracking slightly.

"Dad--!!!"

Whitebeard looked at Blackbeard Teach, who was bound by several white shackles and in poor condition, and was about to speak.

But just then, another incredibly excited shout came from the other side.

Almost identical to Blackbeard Teach --

"Dad!!!"

Whitebeard was taken aback.

Because he heard the sound coming from the other side, not from behind.

The main members of the Whitebeard Pirates aboard the Moby Dick were also taken aback.

As they looked in the direction from which the shouts came, they immediately saw two very "familiar" figures.

To be precise, it's a very familiar "beard".

The one who just shouted excitedly was Edward Weevil, the Whitebeard the Third and a naginata in hand!

Beside Whitebeard the Third stood the aloof, dignified, and arrogant Whitebeard the Second — Edward Teach!

These two young "Whitebeard" have made their appearance in this battle against the Whitebeard Pirates!

In an instant.

The Whitebeard Pirates, who had just seemed united in their hatred of the enemy and full of fighting spirit, suddenly saw their fighting will weaken at a visible rate.

Edward Teach, Edward Weevil.

These two "Whitebeard" men, while not exactly identical to their father, were remarkably similar.

The more important question is...

How come those two "Whitebeard" guys are on the other side?!

Whitebeard himself naturally saw the two young "Whitebeard" opposite him, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Long before the voyage arrived at the Sky Garden, Whitebeard used his Observation Haki to sense the situation on the island—his body had not yet deteriorated to the level it would be a few years later, and he could still use the power of Haki.

Therefore, Whitebeard is very clear.

Although the White Dragon Emperor declared war on the Whitebeard Pirates.

However, he did not concentrate all the power of the Totto Land on this island.

On the contrary, the White Dragon Emperor only deployed a small portion of his forces.

The amount of energy Whitebeard sensed was extremely small.

Among these auras, some were very weak—but still approaching the level of some elite Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' major fleets.

Some of them possessed considerable power—comparable to the division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates' main crew.

Some of them even possessed an aura so strong that it made Whitebeard himself feel somewhat alarmed.

If this weren't the New World, this would be near Whole Cake Island.

Whitebeard thought he was attacking the World Government, not the Pirate Emperor!

These were unfamiliar, powerful auras.

Whitebeard didn't have time to think deeply about it.

Even so, he never imagined it would be "Whitebeard the Second" and "Whitebeard the Third"!

Leaving aside the issue of Edward Weevil.

Edward Teach, isn't that a high-ranking officer of the Dawn Pirates?!

Therefore, in today's war, the enemy is not only the White Dragon Emperor, but also the Red Dragon Emperor?

Whitebeard gripped the hilt of his naginata [Murakumogiri] tightly in his right hand, clenched his left fist, and slammed it down into the empty air beside him.

Under the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, several dense, irregular, pitch-black cracks suddenly appeared in the previously empty air, as if space itself had been completely shattered.

Click--

A sharp cracking sound followed.

These spatial rifts originated from Whitebeard's left fist and rapidly spread to the ground of the Sky Garden below.

Rumble--

The moment these spatial rifts came into contact with the earth, the latter instantly crumbled. The once flat and orderly ground suddenly became as fragile as a piece of exquisite porcelain, violently destroyed and torn apart.

Amidst the deafening roar, the ground in front of the Moby Dick suddenly cracked open, revealing deep, narrow ravines that resembled black venomous snakes, rapidly spreading towards the Execution Platform.

Whitebeard actually wanted to destroy the Execution Platform!

Just then, Storm made a move.

He raised his right foot and gently stomped it. The power of the [Clay Fruit] quickly permeated the Execution Platform beneath his feet, instantly transforming the wooden Execution Platform into clay.

In the next instant, the power of the "Clay Demon" continued to spread to the earth below, completely eroding and assimilating the ground around the Execution Platform into soft white clay.

When Whitebeard's "earthquake" spread to Storm's "clay".

The latter is like the sea, its surface undulating and shifting.

But that's all.

Under Storm's manipulation, the constantly shaking ground of the Sky Garden quickly returned to calm, and the earth that had been completely torn apart by Whitebeard's "earthquake" was also rapidly healed under the visible pull of the "clay hand".

All of this happened so quickly, so rapidly.

The two top-tier powerhouses of the ocean each used their Devil Fruit abilities to greet each other.

"Gurala la la..."

Whitebeard narrowed his eyes slightly, concealing the admiration and shock in them. The extent to which the White Dragon Emperor had developed the [Clay Fruit] truly exceeded his expectations.

"You little rascal, your mud-playing skills are pretty good!"

Hehehe...

Storm chuckled softly, glancing calmly at the Whitebeard.

"The remnants of the Old Era will eventually be buried by the earth, and you will be no exception, Whitebeard."

Before Whitebeard could answer.

Storm suddenly turned his head to look at the other side of the Sky Garden, a sarcastic smile playing on his lips, before turning back to look at Whitebeard.

"So..."

Storm issued orders like a supreme emperor.

"Let the Second Summit War begin!"

At the call of the White Dragon Emperor.

The Storm Pirates, the Dawn Pirates, and others all began to take action.

But everyone tacitly gave the first attack opportunity to a certain "crocodile".

A massive sandstorm suddenly swept across the Sky Garden, the thick dust filling every corner of the air and covering the entire battlefield in a hazy, gloomy hue.

Big News Bird Morgans screams in anger.

"I'm going to lose my sight! The audience won't be able to see either!"

But its voice was drowned out by another, even angrier and louder voice.

"Whitebeard!!!"

Amidst the swirling dust, Crocodile's figure emerged, glaring furiously at the man aboard the Moby Dick, unleashing all his power without reservation.

"Savor this blade of vengeance!"

"Desert Grande Spada!!"

Crocodile waved his hands, and the surrounding sand gathered on his arms, forming two enormous, incredibly heavy golden sand blades.

With Crocodile's full power, the two "Desert Grande Spada" slashed fiercely at the massive, whale-like bow of the Moby Dick with overwhelming force, seemingly aiming to cleave Whitebeard and the ship in two.

Faced with this awe-inspiring Desert Grande Spada.

Whitebeard merely lifted his eyelids slightly, without even attempting to move.

Behind him, a figure wielding two rapiers appeared.

Amidst a flurry of scarlet rose petals, Flower Sword, the fifth division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, swung his Vista to deflect the oncoming Desert Grande Spada.

Clang--

The Desert Grande Spada slashed at the two slender Western swords, producing only a crisp, metallic clang, but failing to budge them in the slightest.

"Sand Crocodile."

Vista the Flower Sword looked calm and composed.

"Your father lost interest in you a long time ago. Your current rival is me."

Lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife.

Crocodile felt as if Flower Sword 'Vista words had slashed several bloody gashes into his heart.

For the past decade or so, he has been dreaming of taking revenge on Whitebeard.

But the truth is...

Whitebeard had absolutely no interest in paying him any attention!

Crocodile almost had his defenses breached on the spot.

But even Vista, the Flower Sword specialist, has some regrets.

When he first discovered Edward Teach the Whitebeard the Second, he also noticed the golden, lion-like figure standing not far from Edward Teach.

That was the equally formidable Great Pirate who shook the seas— Golden Lion II.!

Golden Lion II, a great swordsman Two-Sword Style.

That was the opponent that Vista Flower Sword admired most.

'Let's figure out a way to get the Sand Crocodile to Jozu to deal with later!'

This is what Vista the Flower Sword Vista was thinking.

Crocodile was unaware that the Flower Sword he was currently sparring with had already begun to look down on his skill level.

He glared fiercely at Whitebeard's group before engaging in battle with Vista.

Even if it's just the initial exchange.

Crocodile has also sensed the level of Vista's Flower Sword.

Without a doubt, the greatest swordsman!

With Crocodile's strength, to Vista Flower Sword directly confront Whitebeard...

It's impossible to do that, at least in the short term.

Whitebeard... I guess it's best to leave him to someone else!

But the Sand Crocodile isn't really without anything to do.

Crocodile, who had been floating in mid-air with the help of the sandstorm, suddenly landed on the ground.

Starting with him, the surrounding earth quickly dried up and decayed, turning into fine dust.

"Whitebeard Pirates! Today, you will remain here forever!"

Crocodile channeled his power deep into the earth.

"Erosion Cycle!!"
