Whitebeard's Final Command!
Boom!!!
Storm's fist collided heavily with Whitebeard's naginata once again.
The black and red Conqueror's Haki of electricity exploded like fireworks, lashing wildly at the surrounding environment.
The terrifying shockwaves easily tore the earth of the Sky Garden apart, leaving behind a dense network of wide and deep dark ravines.
Everyone who noticed the changes on the island had no doubt that if the White Dragon Emperor and Whitebeard continued to fight, this small piece of land in the Sky Garden would probably be completely destroyed by the aftershocks of their battle, until it sank into the sea.
If the battle between the White Dragon Emperor and Whitebeard had lasted a little longer...
It's likely that the entire Sky Garden will be sunk to the bottom of the sea.
This is the combat influence of a top-tier powerhouse in the ocean!
Storm completely disregarded the irrelevant questions, his eyes fixed on the Whitebeard before him, his pupils burning with a fierce fighting spirit.
He hadn't had this much fun in a long time!
A punch!
A punch!
Another punch!
Storm swung his arms repeatedly, his iron fists, imbued with both Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, creating a blurry black and red afterimage in mid-air.
Even the surrounding air was torn apart by his powerful punch, and pale white ring-shaped air waves exploded continuously, stirring up gusts of wind.
Storm's terrifying punches seemed poised to tear apart any enemy standing in his way.
Even when facing the White Dragon Emperor's all-out attack, Whitebeard showed no weakness.
Whitebeard spun the Supreme Grade Sword [Murakumogiri] at Supreme Grade Sword speed, and the Black Blade, wrapped in [Haki], swung through the air, creating an impenetrable barrier of dark sword light.
Boom boom boom--
Storm's iron fists continued to pound against Whitebeard's naginata, creating deafening roars that once again ravaged the surrounding land.
One punch!
One punch!
Another punch!
An Observation Haki red light flashed in Whitebeard's eyes as he pushed his Observation Haki to its limit, struggling to withstand the attack from the White Dragon Emperor.
He had previously thought that the White Dragon Emperor had only caught up with him in terms of "strength" in his younger days.
But what I never expected was...
Whether it's strength, speed, or the Three Types of Haki.
The White Dragon Emperor's abilities were all pushed to their limits, reaching a level of intensity never seen before in Whitebeard's life.
A perfectly well-rounded warrior with no blind spots!
Whitebeard had never encountered such a powerful enemy before.
Even Garp.
Even Roger.
Even Rocks.
While the opponents of the past were indeed powerful, none of them were as strong as the White Dragon Emperor, who had no weaknesses whatsoever!
If I had to point out any flaws in the White Dragon Emperor...
That's probably because the White Dragon Emperor lacks combat experience.
In contrast, consider Garp, Zephyr, and others whom Whitebeard once fought—pure "martial arts" fighters who relied solely on their fists and did not use weapons.
The White Dragon Emperor's fighting skills are somewhat immature.
However, this level of "naivety" has been fully compensated for by the White Dragon Emperor's incredibly fast speed.
The White Dragon Emperor remains that powerful monster without a single weakness!
Facing a monster of this level.
Whitebeard could only barely withstand the opponent's attacks by exerting all his strength.
But his physical condition wasn't at its peak to begin with.
The longer the defense lasts...
The Whitebeard inevitably felt a pang of heart palpitations and discomfort.
As his fighting prowess declined, the speed at which he wielded [Murakumogiri] also slowed, and the strength of the [Haki] attached to and wrapped around the Supreme Grade Sword also weakened...
Storm delivered another powerful punch to the blade of [Murakumogiri].
The Whitebeard, who had just been able to fight him to a standstill, was forced to take a step back after this punch.
Storm, who was completely absorbed in the battle, had not yet noticed this.
He only noticed that the distance between him and the Whitebeard had suddenly increased.
Storm instinctively took a step forward, then swung his fist again.
Boom!
The punch still struck the blade of the [Murakumogiri], and the jet-black blade gradually regained its original silvery color.
Boom!
The punch landed on the hilt of the [Murakumogiri] sword, the powerful force causing the hilt of this Supreme Grade Sword to tremble violently.
If it weren't for the fact that [Murakumogiri] is a Supreme Grade Sword of the highest quality.
This Famous Sword will likely be broken on the spot by Storm's monstrous punch!
The Supreme Grade Sword is still in good condition.
But those who wield knives are not so "lucky"!
Whitebeard's condition was already somewhat declining, and the two heavy punches from Storm caused his blood and energy to surge even more violently.
But before Whitebeard could recover...
Storm's simple yet powerful punch came crashing down with Lightning speed once again.
Boom!
The final punch landed on the hilt of the [Murakumogiri].
Faced with Storm's monstrous strength, the thick, sturdy hilt of the [Murakumogiri] bent into an astonishing arc.
Whitebeard, who was standing behind [Murakumogiri], was also sent flying by this powerful force. The strong impact made him unable to control the fluctuations of his blood and qi.
"Puff--"
While flying backwards in mid-air, the Whitebeard couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. The scarlet blood sprayed along his trajectory, staining his signature crescent-shaped beard quite a bit.
The Whitebeard Pirates, who had noticed that Whitebeard had been sent flying by White Dragon Emperor Whitebeard Pirates, all stared in disbelief, letting out roars of shock, anger, confusion, and tension.
"Dad!"
"Dad got sent flying?!"
"Hurry and protect Dad!!"
Indeed, quite a few "pirate sons" took the initiative to approach and try to stop their fathers who couldn't control their bodies.
But Storm's power was too terrifying; Whitebeard, sent flying backward, was like a human cannonball.
Any pirate that appears behind him and tries to catch him.
Luckily, he only broke an arm and a leg in the crash.
Unfortunately, he was smashed to pieces, instantly turning into clouds of blood mist, a truly gruesome death.
Finally, Whitebeard struggled back to his senses and planted the [Murakumogiri] horizontally into the ground, its broad blade sinking directly into the mud.
Hiss--rumble--
[Murakumogiri] dragged a long, straight ravine across the earth, raising a trail of hazy yellow dust, which barely allowed the Whitebeard to regain control of his body.
After regaining his footing, the Whitebeard couldn't help but cough a few more times, and more blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Meanwhile, deep within the earth's fissures, where no one was paying attention, golden grains of sand darted and crawled like venomous snakes.
Since Whitebeard left the Moby Dick and personally joined the battle.
Crocodile, however, was constantly distracted by the battle between Whitebeard and White Dragon.
After White Dragon was knocked away by Whitebeard.
Crocodile unhesitatingly stirred up a Sables, temporarily obscuring the vision of his opponent Vista Flower Sword, while simultaneously rapidly approaching Whitebeard.
Just as Whitebeard was seriously injured and coughing up blood...
A loud shout rang in Whitebeard's ears.
"He's shown a weakness! Whitebeard!"
Crocodile leaped out of the earth through a crack, his entire body transforming into a broadsword forged from yellow sand, slashing swiftly and fiercely at the wounded Whitebeard.
"Desert Great Sword!"
Crocodile's sneak attack was undeniably insidious and swift.
But Whitebeard wasn't the kind of reckless pirate who would let his guard down.
It's like some Emperor Pirates was sailing on the high seas when the entire crew got drunk and passed out. The Captain and top officers of the Emperor Pirates were then kidnapped without anyone noticing...
Such a ridiculous thing could never happen to Whitebeard.
Even in one's dreams.
Even if attacked in Shichibukai.
Whitebeard was able to repel enemies using only his instinctive reactions.
Let alone a mere Sand Crocodile!
No sooner said than done.
Whitebeard casually swung his left arm, and the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit wrapped around his left fist, faintly forming a pale white, hollowed-out spherical energy shield.
Click--
At the point where Whitebeard's fist landed, the surrounding air instantly cracked open, revealing irregular, dark fissures.
The "Desert Great Sword" that pierced out from the depths of the earth collapsed instantly in the face of this Tremor Power that seemed to tear space apart. The sturdy sand sword, capable of splitting gold and jade, crumbled into grains of yellow sand.
Whitebeard's left hand reached forward again, as if taking something out of a bag, easily grabbing Crocodile's head and slamming it down onto the ground like a ball.
Boom!!
Crocodile's head slammed heavily into the ground, creating a huge crater where his head struck.
If it weren't for the fact that Whitebeard wasn't in the best condition at the moment...
Crocodile's skull would probably be shattered on the spot!
Even so.
Crocodile was also shaken so badly that blood flowed from his seven orifices, his eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness on the spot.
Even the wounded Pirate Emperor.
It's not Sand Crocodile can easily pull off.
Just as Whitebeard was about to press his advantage and kill the jumping Sand Crocodile for now.
The surrounding earth suddenly transformed into soft clay.
The white clay transformed into countless white snakes, relentlessly attacking and biting at the Whitebeard.
Under this attack, Whitebeard had no choice but to temporarily abandon Sand Crocodile and focus all his efforts on dealing with the Clay White Snake in front of him.
While distracted by manipulating the Clay White Snake, Storm disdainfully grabbed Crocodile back.
If it weren't for the fact that this Sand Crocodile had some skill...
He didn't even want to deal with this lousy guy who was trying to steal kills!
You think you're worthy of stealing kills, Crocodile?
In Storm's distraction.
Whitebeard sliced through all the Clay White Snake in front of him as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.
Before the White Dragon Emperor's new attack arrived.
The Whitebeard, aged eyes swept across the entire scene, his gaze sweeping over each of his dead "sons."
The battle has reached this point.
The Whitebeard Pirates have lost countless members.
On the other hand, consider the other side.
Because of its highly elite fighting force, even with a very small number of personnel, the enemy did not suffer any casualties!
Where did these monsters come from!?
Whitebeard suppressed his terrible emotions and took a deep breath.
He knew he couldn't continue fighting like this...
Up until now.
The Whitebeard Pirates have yet to see any hope of rescuing Blackbeard Teach.
Even if Whitebeard himself took action, he could not defeat the White Dragon Emperor.
There was another matter that made Whitebeard hesitate.
Edward Teach, the Golden Lion II...
These people are all officers of the Dawn Pirates.
Although Whitebeard wasn't quite sure why the Dawn Pirates had gotten involved in this war.
However, the true Captain who is in charge of the Dawn Pirates has not yet shown up!
Red Dragon Emperor!
That was also a terrifyingly powerful monster!
Among the Whitebeard Pirates, aside from Whitebeard himself, perhaps only Marco could barely hold his own against the Red Dragon Red Dragon Emperor Mythical Zoan: Phoenix.
As for the rest?
Absolutely no match for the Red Dragon Emperor!
Although they currently have no way to stop Edward Teach and the Golden Lion II...
Whitebeard's emotional instincts told him that he had to rescue his son Blackbeard Teach.
However, his rational mind was also frantically warning him that if the fight continued, the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates would probably all die before Blackbeard Teach could be rescued!
Listen up, Whitebeard Pirates!
Whitebeard roared with almost all his might.
"This is the Captain's final order!"
"Everyone retreat! I'll cover the rear!"
Second update.
Good morning, everyone...
Okay, goodnight.
