Xi Yan Steps In Just in Time, Akainu's Ugly Expression

"That damned Blood-Eyed Ninja!"

Looking at the enormous Susanoo, Boa Hancock declared, "I will definitely destroy you!"

After saying that, the woman moved again, rushing towards Xi Yan.

"Um?"

Whitebeard glanced at Boa Hancock, who was rapidly approaching, and said, "What a troublesome fellow."

As soon as he finished speaking, Whitebeard channeled the power of his Devil Fruit into his fist and then slammed it into the atmosphere in front of him!

"Click!"

The terrifying force shattered the atmosphere, instantly unleashing an incredibly powerful shockwave!

"Boom!!"

"Ah!!"

The navy personnel along this line were sent flying by Whitebeard's punch, screaming as they flew into the distance.

Hancock, who was within the attack range, forcibly stopped herself before the shockwave arrived. She then quickly wrapped her body in Haki and retreated to create distance.

The next moment...

"Boom!!"

A terrifying force slammed into the spot where Hancock had just been standing, shattering the ground beneath it!

Upon seeing this, Boa Hancock immediately frowned.

She then said, "To have such strength despite such severe injuries, he's truly a terrifying individual."

After glancing at Whitebeard, who was staring intently at her, Hancock pondered for a moment, then retreated to create some distance and ceased her attack.

"Fufufufufu~"

"Why did you stop?" Doflamingo grinned.

He wanted to see more of the show.

After giving Doflamingo a cold glance, Hancock said, "I have no interest in fighting Whitebeard."

"So you're not planning to kill the Blood-Eyed Ninja?" Doflamingo raised an eyebrow.

"I will kill him sooner or later," Hancock said coldly, "But not now."

As she spoke, Hancock glanced at Whitebeard, her meaning quite clear.

Doflamingo nodded, understanding Hancock's meaning, and said nothing more.

Sengoku, noticing this, murmured, "So, out of fear of Whitebeard's power, they're planning to let the Blood-Eyed Ninja go for now?"

It seems even a woman like Boa Hancock is afraid of Whitebeard.

Then, Sengoku glanced at the other Shichibukai and found that they were all standing still watching the show, clearly not planning to continue attacking.

'It seems we can't count on those Shichibukai,' Sengoku thought with a frown.

Oh well, I didn't expect these guys to do anything anyway.

After shaking his head, Sengoku turned his gaze to Whitebeard and murmured, "Whitebeard, let's see how long you can hold out."

Then, Sengoku shouted, "Go! Take down Whitebeard!"

"Profound!!"

Upon receiving the order, the navy soldiers roared and charged towards Whitebeard.

What awaited them was Whitebeard's incredibly terrifying, shaking fist!

"Boom!!"

"Even with such severe injuries, he can still unleash such immense power..." Xi Yan exclaimed, "Truly worthy of being called the World's Strongest Man!"

Looking at the Navy Headquarters building in the distance, cracked by Whitebeard's attack, Xi Yan's eyes were filled with emotion.

Then, he manipulated Susanoo walk towards Whitebeard's direction.

This time, no foolish navy officer dared to cause him trouble; they all looked at Xi Yan with cautious eyes.

However, Xi Yan didn't pay them any attention, glancing at them before looking away.

After arriving at Whitebeard's side, Xi Yan deactivated Susanoo and returned himself to the ground.

After the power was dispelled, the feeling of being torn to pieces on Xi Yan's body disappeared, which made him feel much more relaxed.

"Phew~"

After letting out a long sigh, Xi Yan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

'Unless absolutely necessary, it's Susanoo at that level again,' Xi Yan thought to himself.

After all... it just hurt so much!

'I wonder if I can Awakening Wood Style?' Xi Yan thought to himself.

If one could Awakening Wood Style, then one should be immune to this side effect.

Thinking of this, a hint of anticipation appeared in Xi Yan's eyes.

"Ninja Kid"

The Whitebeard, panting heavily, turned to look at Xi Yan who had come to his side and said, "Aren't you leaving?"

"I can leave anytime I want."

"I see."

Whitebeard nodded upon hearing this and said nothing more.

Just then, Xi Yan said, "Whitebeard Uncle, you're prepared to perish together with the Navy, aren't you?"

"Kula la la la!"

Whitebeard laughed loudly upon hearing this, saying, "You're right, Ninja Kid. I do indeed intend to sink into the sea along with this island!"

Looking at the Whitebeard laughing heartily, Xi Yan thought to himself: 'Is this how he plans to bid farewell to this era?'

Ending the story in this way was indeed a good choice for Whitebeard.

After all... he's the World's Strongest Man!

Thinking of this, Xi Yan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

"Kula la la la~"

"Ninja Kid, you can go too." Whitebeard said, looking at the Navy Headquarters building in the distance, "I'll take care of this."

"Good."

This time, Xi Yan did not refuse, but nodded and accepted Whitebeard's proposal.

"Damn it, that bastard really intends to sink Marineford into the sea!" Sengoku said with a grim expression. "No, we absolutely cannot let that guy succeed!"

"Go! Take down Whitebeard!"

"Profound!!"

"Kula la la la~"

Come on, everyone come on!

Seeing the marines charging towards him, Whitebeard burst into laughter and said, "The more the merrier!"

"Click!"

"Boom!!"

With a single blow, another group of people were sent flying!

After glancing at the Whitebeard who was diligently fighting off the enemy, Xi Yan left with Bartholomew Kuma.

"Captain Buggy, shall we board?!"

Watching Whitebeard's retreating figure, Buggy's subordinates excitedly shouted, "Now is the perfect opportunity!"

Without the Ninja Bro by Whitebeard's side, Captain Buggy can definitely take down that old guy!

"Don't rush, wait a little longer," Buggy said. "It's not time yet."

"Yes, Captain Buggy!"

Mr. 3 glanced at Buggy interacting with his subordinates and sighed silently.

wait?

Does Buggy really think he can kill Whitebeard...?

You must be joking!

Even if that man is seriously injured, he's not someone they can mess with!

"Third Bro, don't look so gloomy~" a pirate said, coming over. "Our Captain Buggy is about to become one of the Four Emperors, cheer up!"

Mr. 3:...

Happy?

What's there to be happy about?!

Forget it, I can't be bothered arguing with this guy.

After shaking his head helplessly, Mr. 3 turned his attention to another battlefield.

"You Akainu, shut up!!" Ace roared.

"I didn't say anything wrong, so why should I shut up?!"

"You bastard, I won't allow you to insult my savior!"

As soon as he finished speaking, terrifying flames erupted from Ace's body, instantly igniting the area around him.

Then, he raised his fist and slammed it at Akainu.

"Fire Fist!!!"

Seeing this, a hint of joy flashed in Akainu's eyes, and he launched an attack without hesitation.

"Great Fire Breath!!"

The two attacks collided violently, creating an incredibly terrifying shockwave!

"Boom!!"

"Ah!!"

Some pirates who tried to help were blasted away and burned by the terrifying heat.

"Don't go near those two, or you'll be burned alive!"

"Damn it, Ace!!"

Seeing Ace's obvious decline, the pirates' eyes immediately showed anxiety.

If Ace gets killed here, then all their efforts will have been in vain!

"You Akainu, take back what you said!" Ace roared.

As he spoke, he unleashed an even greater power, forcefully pushing back some of Akainu's magma.

"Hmph, what a joke!"

Akainu sneered and said, "You are all losers. What right do you have to ask me to take back what I just said?"

As he spoke, Akainu also increased his strength, once again forcing Ace's flames to gradually recede.

The next moment...

"Boom!!!"

A terrifying explosion rang out, blasting Ace flying back!

"Ah!"

After letting out a scream, Ace fell to the ground.

"You think you can be so careless just because you're Logia Devil Fruit User?" Akainu said coldly, looking at Ace. "How naive!"

"Your fire is nothing but ordinary fire, while I am magma that can burn even fire to ashes!"

"My abilities are clearly superior to yours!"

"Hateful..."

Clutching his burned arm, Ace's face was filled with pain.

'If only my Haki were a little stronger...'

Damn it!

"Ace, how are you?!"

Seeing Ace lying on the ground, Luffy's face immediately showed worry.

But before he could reach Ace, his legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground.

"Huh?"

"I... I can't move?" Luffy's face turned pale as he felt the changes in his body.

Jinbe:!!!

"Hey, what's wrong with you?!" Jinbe asked anxiously, "Why did you suddenly collapse?"

"Has it reached its limit...?"

Seeing Luffy's expression, Ivankov's face immediately turned ugly.

"Reaching the limit?"

"Hmm." Ivankov nodded and said, "This kid went through a life-or-death situation once when he was in Underwater Great Prison, and he only regained his mobility after relying on Excitement Hormone."

Upon hearing this, Bon Clay paused for a moment, then asked incredulously, "Emporio Ivankov, didn't you say that Excitement Hormone could make one feel no fatigue all day? Why is Straw Hat...?"

"Excitement Hormone aren't a cure-all," Ivankov said. "The body will still collapse when it reaches its limit!"

As he spoke, a hint of worry appeared in Ivankov's eyes.

He knew very well that the Straw Hat Boy was in a very dangerous condition!

If he doesn't rest soon... the Straw Hat Boy might die!!

With that thought in mind, Ivankov ran towards Luffy's direction.

"Straw Hat..."

Luffy glanced at Akainu, who was lying on the ground, and his eyes flashed with intense killing intent.

As if sensing something, Ace immediately looked up and said, "You bastard, what are you doing?"

"You two brothers are both people who inherited a bloodline of evil, so you must die here!" Akainu said coldly. "Just watch, watch how your brother dies by my hand!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Akainu swiftly passed Ace and rushed towards Luffy's direction.

"Luffy!!"

"Huh?"

Akainu was stunned when he saw Akainu Luffy towards him.

'Am I... am I going to die?'

Akainu, who Luffy above Luffy, didn't hesitate to turn his arm into magma and then fiercely punched Luffy.

"Stop!!"

Upon seeing this, Ivankov and the others' eyes turned red.

"Death Wink!"

A long-range attack struck Akainu's lower body, turning his legs into lava, but it still couldn't stop him from launching an attack.

"It's no use!" Akainu shouted, "No one can save him!"

"Die!!"

"Whoosh~"

"Varied...?!"

Seeing the Blood-Eyed Ninja appear before him in an instant, Akainu's pupils shrank to their maximum size.

The next moment...

"Puff!!"

"Boom!!"

The terrifying Magma Fist slammed into Xi Yan Xi Yan, punching a huge hole in his body!

However, Akainu did not show any joy; instead, his face darkened.

'Damn it, how did this brat suddenly appear in front of me?!' Akainu looked at Xi Yan with a grim expression, thinking, 'Wasn't he just standing next to Whitebeard a moment ago?!'

Just then, a figure appeared in Akainu's mind.

'Bartholomew... a bear?'

Yes, it must have been this guy who used his Devil Fruit ability to help the Blood-Eyed Ninja, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get to me so quickly!

Thinking of this, Akainu used his Observation Haki to scan behind him and, sure enough, noticed the bear's unusual behavior.

That guy was still in the act of patting someone!

'Damn bear!'

"Xi Yan?!"

Seeing Xi Yan blocking his way, Luffy's eyes immediately turned red.

Ace, who had charged forward, fell to the ground at that moment.

However, he ignored his own pain and looked at Xi Yan anxiously, saying, "You..."

"Cough... I'm fine."

Despite enduring excruciating pain, Xi Yan summoned Susanoo.

They then grabbed Ace and Luffy and threw them behind them.

"Whoosh~"

"Bump!"

"Bump!"

With two muffled thuds, Luffy and Ace crashed down in front of Ivankov and the others who were charging towards them.

"Call..."

"Thankfully, you're alright..."

After glancing at the two unharmed individuals, Ivankov immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he turned his worried gaze to Xi Yan and said, "Why didn't this kid disappear this time?"

Could it be...?

As if struck by a sudden thought, Ivankov's pupils constricted to their minimum size.

Could it be... that this kid's immortality has already worn off?

Thinking of this, Ivankov's face immediately turned extremely grim.
