The Might of the World's Strongest Man!

Sengoku's remarks sent the naval taxi's popularity soaring to its peak!

It's fair to say they fear no one now!

"Fufufufufu~"

"Interesting!" Doflamingo grinned. "The upcoming battle is sure to be spectacular!"

Ideally, the Navy and Whitebeard would fight to the death, so he could profit from the outcome.

Thinking of this, Doflamingo laughed even more heartily.

' Xi Yan... How's the situation over there?' Hancock murmured to herself.

The fact that Fire Fist Ace is here means that Xi Yan and his team have failed.

Is he still alive?

Thinking of this, Hancock's eyes were filled with worry.

Just then, the alarms at the Navy Headquarters suddenly sounded, along with the shouts of lookouts.

"Notice!"

"Whitebeard's grand fleet has appeared!"

"Repeat!"

"Whitebeard's grand fleet has appeared!!"

"All personnel, prepare for battle!!!"

"Damn it, where did these guys suddenly come from?!"

"Fufufufufu, are you finally here!"

Seeing the massive fleet that had suddenly appeared in the distance, Doflamingo burst into laughter and exclaimed, "This is truly exhilarating!"

This time, let him witness this battle that will go down in history!

"Whitebeard."

Hawkeye narrowed his eyes as he stared at the large fleet in the distance.

At this moment, he desperately wanted to know just how strong the World's Strongest Man really was!

Looking at the large fleet in the distance, Sengoku said, "Have you spotted Whitebeard's location?!"

"No!" the lookout said. "We only spotted members of Whitebeard's Grand Fleet."

"There are 43 ships in total, and the captain of each ship is a master of the New World!"

As the lookout watched the powerful pirates come one after another, cold sweat poured down his back.

"Can't we determine his location?"

Sengoku frowned and said, "What on earth is this guy up to?"

Now that Whitebeard's large fleet has arrived at Navy Headquarters, Whitebeard himself will definitely come too!

The question now is... from where will that guy attack?

Could it be that instead of a frontal attack, they're launching a surprise attack from another location?

With this in mind, the Sengoku period turned its attention to other areas.

Just then, a huge bubble suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea in the Navy Headquarters Bay, as if announcing the arrival of something.

Could it be...?

Upon seeing this, Sengoku's expression immediately changed.

Looking at the Moby Dick emerging from the sea, Sengoku said with a grim expression, "So that's how it is. All their ships are coated and move forward from the seabed."

No wonder those ships seemed to appear out of nowhere; they all seemed to emerge from the sea!

"We've been tricked," Tsuru said, his face grim.

They considered all directions, but failed to consider the seabed – a real miscalculation.

"All three ships of the Whitebeard Pirates have appeared!"

"All 14 team leaders are up there!"

"They've finally arrived!"

"Gurgle..."

Some sailors subconsciously swallowed, their palms sweating with nervousness.

Just then, a man walked out from the deck and stepped towards the bow of the ship!

This man is none other than Edward Newgate, the World's Strongest Man, known as Whitebeard!

"Kula la la la!"

Looking at Sengoku's expression in the distance, the Whitebeard grinned and said, "It's been decades since we last met, Sengoku!"

"Is my beloved son alright?!"

"Whitebeard!"

Seeing the arrogant smile on Whitebeard's face, Sengoku said with a grim expression, "Damn it, we actually let him get this close."

Even with Fire Fist Ace as leverage, the opponent might not dare to destroy Marineford, but... that guy is, after all, the World's Strongest Man!

When faced with such an entity, the closer you get, the more disadvantageous you are!

"Pops!"

"You..."

Looking at the Whitebeard that was smiling at him, Ace suddenly became choked up.

"Kuralalala, it seems my beloved son is alright."

After casually Murakumogiri in his hand into the ground, Whitebeard laughed and said, "Wait for me a little longer, Ace, I'll be right there to save you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man struck his signature pose.

Then, he slammed two powerful punches into the space on either side, shattering the atmosphere!

"Click!!"

"Click click click~"

The cracks gradually spread, and a terrifying power also gradually spread outwards!

"Space... even space itself was shattered?!" The Marines exclaimed in horror as they witnessed this. "Is this Whitebeard's power?"

"Look! The sea is surging!"

"Oh no, it's Seaquake!"

Looking at the enormous column of water, even larger than the Navy Headquarters, despair appeared in the eyes of some of the Marines.

Faced with a terrifying force that resembles a natural disaster, how will they fight it?

"Is this Whitebeard's ability?" Koby asked incredulously.

No wonder this man is called the World's Strongest Man; his strength is terrifying!

Was the initial attack enough to create such a devastating Seaquake that destroyed everything?!

"What a terrifying creature." Aokiji glanced up at the massive columns of water rising on either side and said, "Is it planning to destroy Navy Headquarters?"

If those two jets of water really came crashing down, the Navy Headquarters could very well be destroyed.

With that in mind, Aokiji decided to stand up and deal with the attack.

But before he could even make a move, the water jets shot off into the distance, showing no sign of stopping.

This scene surprised Aokiji for a moment.

"What... does this mean?"

"Hey, did you guys see that? The water column has disappeared!" a navy officer shouted.

"I saw it, it's definitely gone."

"What's going on? Has Whitebeard given up the attack?"

"I don't know."

Although I don't know what happened, at least I was saved.

With that thought in mind, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Pops!"

"Everyone!"

"Why did you come to save me?" Ace said with a pained expression. "It's my fault for ignoring everyone's advice and running away on my own, which has led to this mess."

"But why still..."

"No."

The Whitebeard slowly spoke, "I was the one who asked you to go, son."

Ace was stunned; he didn't understand why his Pops would say such a thing.

It was clearly his own idea to go!

Thinking of this, Ace excitedly said, "Pops, it was my own idea to go! You tried to stop me back then, but I..."

"I told you!"

Whitebeard interrupted loudly, "I'm the one who sent you!"

Seeing the man's serious expression, Ace opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Marco."

"I told him to go, didn't I?" the Whitebeard said.

"Ah, I heard that, it's true." Marco looked at Ace in the distance and said, "You've really suffered a lot, Ace."

After speaking, Marco paused for a moment, then coldly glanced at the Marines in front of him and said, "Marines, you should know what the consequences will be if you attack our comrades."

"You guys better prepare yourselves!"

"You're right, we will absolutely not let anyone who hurt you live, Ace!"

"Wait for us, we're coming to rescue you!"

"Profound!!"

"Prepare yourselves, Navy Headquarters!"

Hearing his comrades' roars, Ace's eyes reddened.

"Everyone..."

"We've really messed with a bunch of terrifying guys," Aokiji said.

"Hmph, why say such things now?" Akainu snorted.

Whitebeard?

The World's Strongest Man?

Whoever this guy is, he's going to leave this damned pirate here today!

"Within the mouth~"

Borsalino calmly observed the situation in the distance and remarked, "One after another, they're all terrifying great pirates~"

Hearing Borsalino's words, the other two subconsciously glanced at him, but they didn't say anything, since they all knew that's just how Borsalino was.

"This is so exciting!" Doflamingo exclaimed excitedly. "I'm getting more and more excited for the upcoming battle!"

"Fufufufufu!"

After laughing, Doflamingo glanced at Hawkeye and said, "Are you planning to stand by and watch again this time?"

Unfortunately, Hawkeye didn't want to pay him any attention at all, not even giving him a glance.

However, Doflamingo wasn't angry; he simply shrugged and said nothing more.

"There are so many rude men everywhere, it really annoys me," Hancock said.

However... that man was different!

Perhaps thinking of Xi Yan's appearance, Hancock's face flushed slightly.

'You must be safe and sound, Xi Yan!'

Just then, a navy officer noticed something was wrong.

"Hey, look! Why is the water level dropping so fast?"

"I don't know, maybe it's related to the Whitebeard?"

As he spoke, the man recalled what had happened when Whitebeard had intervened earlier.

This water might really have been carried away by those two enormous water columns!

"For some reason, I have a bad feeling," Hina murmured.

"A bad feeling?"

Looking up at the distant sky, Smoker said, "Me too."

"Hey, what's going on here?!"

"Why is our ship starting to move backward?!"

The pirates, who were thrown into the air by the ship's rapid backward movement, all cried out in alarm.

"It's an ocean current!"

Standing steadily on the ship, Xi Yan glanced at the ocean currents below and said, "These currents are rushing towards us from where we came at an extremely fast speed."

Xi Yan, who has awakened his Sharinggan, can clearly observe this.

Then, he looked up in the direction of Navy Headquarters and murmured, "This sudden strange phenomenon... has someone done something?"

"Or have we encountered some unusual weather?"

If it's just the weather, then they were simply unlucky.

But if it's man-made... that's a bit scary.

The opponent's strength must be considerable to be able to influence such a large area of sea!

"Damn it! We were driving smoothly just now, why did it suddenly turn like this?!" Buggy yelled, gripping the pillar.

In just a short while, they had rushed a very long distance!

'Could this have been done by my Pops?' Jinbe muttered to himself.

Staring at the situation in the distance, Jinbe frowned.

He felt there was a very high chance his Pops had done it.

"Damn it, I need to get to Navy Headquarters to save Ace as soon as possible, what's going on?" Luffy said, clutching his hat.

"Hey, we need to get back to the Calm Belt!"

Looking back at the enormous Gate of Justice, Mr. 3 exclaimed, "You need to think of something, Xi Yan!"

If they accidentally go back there, Who Knows if the Gate of Justice will close?

"The Gate of Justice?"

Looking back at the massive Gate of Justice, Xi Yan frowned and said, "Could this be their purpose?"

Are they carried back to the Calm Belt by powerful ocean currents?

It's not impossible.

But... that's too naive!

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!!"

"Boom!!"

As Xi Yan finished speaking, an enormous Water Dragon burst forth from the ocean current, lifting the massive warship directly above its head.

Then, Water Dragon twisted his body and charged towards the Navy Headquarters!

"Well done, Xi Yan!" Luffy shouted excitedly.

With Xi Yan's Water Release Technique, they will definitely be able to reach Navy Headquarters smoothly!

"Water Release Technique, huh?"

Crocodile, seated on the boat, rose and glanced at the Water Dragon below, then remarked, "What a convenient ability."

Even such a strong counter-current couldn't stop his Water Dragon from advancing... No wonder he's Ninja!

"Xi Yan, get ready."

"Ah?"

Hearing Jinbe's words, Xi Yan turned around and looked at Jinbe, saying, "What do you mean?"

How can I get him ready?

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be Seaquake started by Whitebeard Old Man," Jinbe said.

"Seaquake?"

"Yes," Jinbe explained, "With the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Pops is able to create Seaquake."

After speaking, Jinbe paused for a moment, then turned to look at the sea behind him and said, "Perhaps it won't be long before a tsunami comes crashing down on us."

"A tsunami?"

Looking back at the sea behind him, Xi Yan narrowed his eyes.

He never imagined that this unusual ocean current was actually man-made.

'To be able to influence such a large area of the sea... no wonder he's one of the Four Emperors.'

Thinking about this, Xi Yan actually started to look forward to it.

He was eager to know just how strong this old man known as the Whitebeard really was.

Just then, Mr. 3's exclamation came from behind.

"Hey, the ocean current has calmed down!"

Mr. 3, who was leaning over the side of the boat looking down at the sea, said, "That powerful current has disappeared!"

"No, it's not just calmed down..." Inazuma said, staring at the sea, "It seems there's a current moving towards Navy Headquarters!"

Although the current wasn't as fast as one might imagine, it definitely existed!

"If that's the case, then..."

Before Mr. 3 could finish speaking, Xi Yan, standing at the bow of the ship, shouted, "Everyone, grab onto anything you can! A tsunami is coming!!"

"Huh?!?"
