Whitebeard Gravely Wounds Akainu

Ata, Weevil, Brook, Perona... and their group had also spotted Gild Tesoro's group.

Gild Tesoro, Baccarat, and Mr. Tanaka were all as they had anticipated.

After all, this time their target was them.

Even Stussy and his group were somewhat prepared. After all, she had shown herself before, and it was highly likely that she would side with Gild Tesoro in the face of his money.

The six players –Oven, Daifuku, Raisin, Custard, and Galette – were a complete surprise to them.

The group exchanged glances, because these six people were members of the Four Emperors' pirate crews that Moke had been cramming on, and they were all children of Big Mom from the Big Mom Pirates.

This caught them somewhat off guard.

It's not that I'm afraid of being weaker than them, but rather that fighting them would mean...

They also stood on the opposite side from the Big Mom Pirates.

Previously, by capturing Jack alive and subduing Ulti and Page One, they had already completely broken ties with Kaido. If they were to also Big Mom Pirates... then once they occupy this place, they would be facing two Four Emperors pirate crews and two pirate emperors at the same time.

They hesitated.

So they decided to first send a signal to Moke, and then decide whether to fight or retreat.

The scene shifts to the Marine Headquarters.

At this moment, Moke had just clashed with Aokiji, and both of them had retreated a few steps, creating some distance between them.

"Brubrub..."

Just then, the Den Den Mushi in Moke's arms rang.

Moke glanced at Aokiji, but Aokiji didn't continue his attack. Instead, he looked on with a puzzled expression...

The timing of the call was suspicious. He also wanted to hear what was going on on Moke's side and whether it would affect things here.

"Tsk tsk..."

Moke knew exactly what Aokiji was thinking, but so what?

A distant source of water cannot quench a nearby fire.

So, without any hesitation, I connected directly.

The Den Den Mushi immediately transformed into Ata's face. "Captain, we've encountered a slight mishap. Oven, Daifuku, Raisin, Custard, Galette, and the Underground King Stussy from the Big Mom Pirates have sided with Gild Tesoro. Should we continue with the plan...?"

Moke's lips curled into a slight smile, "Why not? Take them down..."

After saying that, he added, "Stussy, try to capture him alive."

Ata: "Understood, Captain."

Moke disconnected the power, but Aokiji constricted sharply. He even doubted his ears, staring at Moke in horror.

"Gild Tesoro? Your men are taking over Gild Tesoro's entertainment complex?"

This news is explosive!

After all, it's quite a stir that the Big Mom's children are on Gild Tesoro's side. Gild Tesoro controls 20% of the world's Beli, so he has connections with various forces, both overt and covert.

Everyone knows the truth.

This guy is just too special, so everyone chose to turn a blind eye.

But who dares to touch Gild Tesoro!

The World Government and the Marine Headquarters would absolutely not allow it... no, not even the Four Emperors would allow it. Because if any pirate crew were to obtain Gild Tesoro's wealth, the balance of power among the Four Emperors would be immediately disrupted.

If the World Government and the Marine Headquarters were to obtain it, it would be extremely disadvantageous for the Four Emperors.

This created a balance, allowing Gild Tesoro to exist peacefully. But Gild Tesoro is a flashpoint; anyone who touches him will be attacked.

And this guy in front of him actually dared to touch him.

And at this particular time... it's likely that everything was planned in advance; as soon as they clashed with the Whitebeard Pirates on one side, they immediately attacked Gild Tesoro on the other.

In this way.

The World Government is unable to provide much support to Gild Tesoro.

With Whitebeard's entire force mobilized, Big Mom and Kaido set their sights on his territory... so naturally, their attention wouldn't be on Gild Tesoro.

They really had all the advantages... perfect timing and location.

The only thing they probably didn't anticipate was that the Big Mom's children would be there at that time. This made it considerably more difficult for Moke and his group to conquer Gild Tesoro's territory.

Aokiji looked at Moke, his killing intent stronger than ever before.

"Even if we spare Whitebeard today, you... Moke, must die here." Aokiji had made up his mind and was willing to pay any price.

Because Whitebeard didn't have the same ambition as Moke.

"Ice Block - Two-Spiked Spear!"

After freezing the ice spear into shape beside him, he shot it at Moke.

"Cut..."

Moke put the Den Den Mushi into his pocket, then swung out the Shusui in his hand. It shattered the ice spear and unleashed a burst of energy.

They launched a counterattack against Aokiji.

"Rumble..."

Just then, a huge commotion startled the two of them. Moke instinctively looked over and saw that Akainu had somehow shaken off Ace and rushed in front of Whitebeard, launching an attack directly at Whitebeard.

Whitebeard had already harbored murderous intent towards Akainu, so in his eyes, Akainu was practically delivering himself to his doorstep!

Can he be polite?

It's important to understand that at this moment, unlike in the original story where he was tricked and severely injured, his strength remained unaffected. With a glare, his Conqueror's Haki erupted instantly.

Akainu, who was hit hardest, was significantly affected. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Whitebeard suddenly struck and grabbed Akainu's head.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit activated immediately, enveloping his hand and Akainu's head in a white halo.

"Not good..."

At this moment, Akainu, who always had absolute confidence in his strength, was fearless. However, a trace of fear appeared in his heart.

The next second.

"Boom..."

The Quake-Quake ability erupted, causing Akainu's pupils to dilate and his eyes to become somewhat unfocused. Blood flowed from Akainu's mouth, his inner mouth, and his ears.

It was clearly severely injured; if it were anyone else, they would probably be dead by now.

"Akainu..."

The Sengoku couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Garp leaped into the air, reaching a great height, and then descended from the sky, delivering a punch to Whitebeard.

Although he disliked Akainu very much.

However, regardless of the circumstances, Akainu is the Navy's top fighting force and cannot be allowed to fall, especially in this situation, so he still stepped in to save them.

The Whitebeard man didn't move, but his eyes had already glanced upwards. A slight smile played on his lips as he swung his greatsword, directly meeting Garp's Iron Fist head-on.

"Collapse..."

Their attacks collided fiercely in mid-air. The force of their attacks clashed repeatedly, creating a powerful gust of wind that swept across the entire harbor.

Some of the weaker individuals were blown directly into the air.

This shows just how terrifying their attack was.

"Not good..."

The next second, Moke's expression changed drastically, because Kizaru transformed into a beam of light and arrived behind Whitebeard.

And his index finger was pointed at the Whitebeard, which was gleaming with a Shine light...
