On Whitebeard's fleet.
Even if the enemy is strong, we cannot retreat without a fight!
"We are the Whitebeard Pirates!"
Jack the Drought and Marquess Fist-Killer Spaden are already engaged in a fierce battle on the shore.
Even though Vista and Jozu were very wary of Wang Shi's strength, it was not a reason for them to retreat.
The Whitebeard Pirates faced the challenge head-on without fear.
"Ace, let Jozu and I deal with the Wang Shi, and you deal with that Marquess of Impalement. Your Flame -Mera Mera no Mi ability can counter Aramaki's vines."
"Thatch! Atmos! Izo! You deal with that blind man!"
After learning of Wang Shi's terrifying strength, Vista the Flower Sword immediately reassigned his opponent.
Now we can only hope that Marquess of Impalement Aramaki and Marquess of Falling Heavens Yixiao are as strong as Marquess Fist-Killer Spaden.
Then they can fight a thorough and satisfying battle to uphold the reputation of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Even if one fails to rise to prominence, it doesn't necessarily mean defeat.
"Clear!"
No one objected to Vista's arrangement, so Ace had no choice but to temporarily abandon his opponent Wang Shi.
However, the Daimyo of Marquess of Impalement Aramaki should not be underestimated, and he should take it seriously.
Using the Mera Mera no Mi's power to counter the Woods-Woods Fruit's power—wouldn't that be a bit unethical?
Forget it, at worst, I'll just defeat Aramaki and then not kill him.
However, their arrangements did not seem to go as they wished.
Because the two Marquess on the other side took the initiative to attack.
"Jozu the Diamond, come out and fight me! Don't force me to go on a killing spree!"
Aramaki roared loudly, his eyes filled with excitement. He was going to defeat a great pirate with a bounty of over 1 billion!
"Vista, please instruct me in swordsmanship!"
Smile floated on a tree, challenging Vista the Flower Sword to a duel. If Vista refused, he would storm into the fleet.
Faced with the challenge from the two Marquess, especially Aramaki's arrogant remarks, Whitebeard's division commanders and subordinate captains were all filled with righteous indignation and wished they could kill this arrogant guy.
"Damn you, Aramaki! I'll be your opponent!"
Fire Fist Ace transformed into a ball of flame and charged out, quickly attacking Aramaki.
"Your bounty is too low; you're not worthy to be my opponent."
Seeing that Jozu the Diamond refused to fight, Aramaki became enraged and unleashed a massive amount of vines that surged towards Whitebeard's fleet.
"Fire Fist!!"
Ace unleashed a massive Fire Fist that slammed into the vines of the Aramaki.
"Flames? How scary!"
Is this an attempt to restrain me?
"However, if I really had such a flaw, how could I ever become an Imperial Duke!"
"Do you really think my forest is so weak!"
"Forests, like the ocean, are a force of nature."
'Fireproof Forest!'
Aramaki erupted suddenly, and a swirling forest surged up, blocking Fire Fist Ace's signature move.
"We can't let the vines get onto the ship!"
'Shining Impact!'
Jozu the Diamond suddenly erupted, becoming a blur on the ship, his diamond-encrusted shoulder, covered in Armament Haki, slammed into Aramaki and sent him flying.
"Boom!!"
Having just exchanged blows with Fire Fist Ace, Aramaki was suddenly rammed by Jozu the Diamond and sent flying into the Silver Mine, raising a huge mushroom cloud.
"Did you kill that bastard?!"
"Captain Jozu is awesome!"
Upon seeing Jozu the Diamond's successful attack, a thunderous cheer erupted from Whitebeard's fleet.
"Ouch, ouch!! Damn it, that Haki is so strong!!"
A mangled figure emerged rapidly from the dust.
Aramaki's hideous wounds were healing at a rapid pace visible to the naked eye.
"Uncle Aramaki, be serious!"
Bonney and Nami shouted, their voices filled with displeasure.
"Got it, got it! With your support, I'm stronger than ever before!"
The aura of the Aramaki showed no signs of weakening. Jozu the Diamond's surprise attack had enraged him greatly, especially since it had made him lose face.
The consequences are extremely serious!
'Forbidden Hatred Giant!'
Aramaki quickly transformed into a massive wooden giant and hurtled towards Jozu the Diamond, while countless sharp vines enveloped him at the same time.
For someone like Jozu the Diamond, who possesses immense strength and unparalleled defense, he has plenty of ways to deal with such hard stone.
"Watch out! Jozu!"
Vista the Flower Sword, leaped onto the island, rapidly unleashing a flurry of sword strikes that severed numerous vines.
"Sir, your opponent is me."
'Gravity Blade - Fierce Tiger!'
A smile rang out as a purple blade of energy suddenly slashed towards the Vista the Flower Sword.
The terrifying force instantly pinned Vista to the beach.
A huge, deep pit appeared on the beach.
"Such immense power!"
Vista clenched his teeth, veins bulging all over his body. He felt as if he had been struck by an ancient giant, the terrifying force making his hands tremble.
This blind Marquess is incredibly strong!
I thought Spaden was on par with Jack the Drought, which was already quite powerful.
I never expected this blind swordsman to be even more terrifying.
I might not be a match for them!
"Ah!!"
Vista unleashed all his strength, broke free from Yixiao's Gravity Blade, and leaped to a distance.
He was panting heavily, staring intently at Yixiao.
This blind guy is definitely stronger than King the Conflagration!
How could that be!
How could an East Blue Empire possibly possess so many powerful individuals?
"You are no match for me."
After the first exchange, Issho finally felt relieved. One of the top executives of the Four Emperors' pirate crew didn't seem to be as strong as he had imagined.
He was confident he could defeat this Vista the Flower Sword.
It turns out that Wang Shi's description of him as having the "appearance of Duke" was not an overestimation at all.
His own strength seemed to have reached an unimaginable level.
"Hmph! We'll only know who wins and who loses after the fight!"
Vista the Flower Sword, was more serious than ever before. The person before him gave him a sense of pressure reminiscent of when he faced Dark King Rayleigh.
This is a feeling I haven't experienced in so many years.
It seems that I've been too complacent under my Pops's protection for too long and have forgotten what life-or-death battles are like.
"Defeating you will definitely raise my deterrent power to a new level."
Yi Xiao also had a reason to win; his fearsome reputation and intimidating power were not enough yet. He needed to gain the reputation of being able to stop a war with a single word.
"Ace, take care of yourselves and be ready to retreat at any time."
Vista no longer cared about any plans or Ace and the others; he was now locked onto by Issho and had no way to escape the battle.
"Jozu! Vista! Hold on, we've called for backup!!"
"Pops will be there soon!"
Seeing the somewhat dire situation, Captain Izo the 16th Division suddenly brightened up and shouted loudly, especially towards Wang Shi.
He wanted to tell Wang Shi their Pops, the World's Strongest Man, Whitebeard Newgate, was on his way.
If the One Emperor and Three Marquesses dare to go too far, they will face the revenge of the World's Strongest Man.
"Did you ask Pops for help?"
Fire Fist Ace was helping Jozu the Diamond destroy the dense vines.
Upon hearing Izo's shout, I immediately felt a sense of shame, like someone who "calls their parents when they can't beat someone."
They were the ones who started the trouble with Spaden, yet they're already asking for backup so quickly.
This made him feel a pang of guilt and remorse towards Whitebeard.
Thinking about this, Fire Fist Ace felt he had to do something to save face for the Whitebeard Pirates.
He suddenly looked at Wang Shi...
