Whitebeard's Strength

Just then, Ye Chen suddenly appeared in front of Golden Lion, making Sengoku and Garp turn green with rage.

A hissing sound and billowing black smoke and flames spread from Ye Chen's body. In the blink of an eye, an explosion occurred, the ground collapsed, and everything lost its light.

In that instant, Sengoku and Garp transformed into streaks of light and crashed heavily into a pile of ruins.

Golden Lion, having faced attacks from Garp and Sengoku, and finally enduring Ye Chen's self-destruction from all sides, completely lost his ability to fight.

The billowing flames and smoke obscured all vision.

A huge wave swept by, revealing a massive crater. Ye Chen was covered in blood and was slowly recovering, while the Golden Lion, soaked in blood, lay on the ground.

"Damn it, Ye Chen, he definitely did it on purpose!"

Amidst the ruins, Garp rose to his feet, covered in blood, and coughed.

The situation was even worse during the Sengoku.

In an instant, billowing smoke filled the air, and the entire Marineford was shrouded in desolation.

Countless boulders, resembling hills, stand in various places, some of which are full of pits and hollows, forming the Gobi Desert.

The damage was devastating; Marineford no longer the majestic place it once was, and it was now a scene of ruins.

Severed limbs, the pungent smell of blood, the shocking sight of the ground stained red, and the cries of agony heard everywhere—it was all too disturbing to bear.

Many of the wounded sailors, witnessing the horrific scene before them, all glared angrily in one direction.

"What are you all standing there for? Go and save them!"

Completely pale, Sengoku's face was ashen, his fists clenched tightly, like a wounded beast, growling softly.

In an instant, the surviving sailors began clearing the roads and saving the lives that had been affected.

"Damn Shiki."

Limping, Sengoku walked menacingly to the Golden Lion, grabbed his collar, and began to curse.

"Cough cough," the Golden Lion, his face covered in blood and his breath faint, coldly looked down at the Sengoku.

"Shiki, you're going to spend the rest of your life in Impel Down, you bastard!" Sengoku's eyes were bloodshot as Sengoku punched Golden Lion in the stomach.

With a "plop," the Golden Lion, its body bent over and stained with blood, finally spoke, "Tell me, how was Roger captured?"

"You fanatic, you attacked Marineford for this reason alone, your crime is unforgivable."

Furious, Sengoku never expected that even at this point, Golden Lion would still be fixated on Roger.

"Sakazuki, shut him up. Send him to Impel Down tomorrow. I want this bastard to die a horrible death in Impel Down."

He slammed the Golden Lion to the ground with a thud, Sengoku's chest heaved violently, and blood dripped uncontrollably from his mouth.

"Breaking news! Breaking news! The king of the seas, captain of the Flying Pirates, Golden Lion Shiki, stormed Marineford alone yesterday, inflicting unbearable losses on the Marines, before being captured after exhausting himself!"

"Breaking Big News! The long-lost Golden Lion Shiki has suddenly reappeared and been captured by the Navy!"

"The Red the Aloof Patrick Redfield, the One Piece King Gol D. Roger, and the Golden Lion Shiki —three legendary figures—have all been captured by the Navy. What will become of Whitebeard Edward, Newgate, who lived in the same era as the One Piece?"

"The navy's power is no longer enough to withstand it."

The news about the comic book, a year later, has once again shocked the world.

In the New World, in an unnamed sea, a large island is now trembling violently.

"The Golden Lion has been captured!"

A giant ship bobbed on the turbulent sea. Marco looked at the newspaper in his hand, somewhat incredulous.

"Golden Lion disappeared without a trace after the Wode Sea Incident. How did he suddenly end up in Marineford and get captured by the Navy?" Diamond Jozu scratched his head.

"We must inform Pops about this." Vista frowned as he looked at the island shaking in the distance.

"It's been five years already. Pops should have had enough fun by now. Kaido's abilities are getting stronger and stronger."

Sure enough, as soon as Marco finished speaking, a towering figure emerged directly from the chaotic, fragmented island.

"Pops, how's that immortal monster doing?"

Seeing that Whitebeard looked somewhat disheveled and was slightly out of breath, Marco and the others went up to ask him what was wrong.

"Kurara stretched her body and felt much better. Kaido more and more like a monster."

Whitebeard waved his hand, not caring too much, sat down in his seat, picked up a Big Barrel from the side, and started chugging it down.

"Pops, why don't you kill that guy?" A pirate asked, puzzled. Kaido had challenged Pops several times, and each time he had been suppressed, but for some reason, Pops just wouldn't kill him.

"The opponent's abilities are quite troublesome. We can kill them, but not yet."

With a slight frown Whitebeard deep gaze, no one knew what he was thinking.

Marco and the others weren't entirely sure what Whitebeard was thinking, but they knew that if Pops truly intended to kill, then the so-called immortal monster would be a joke, and Kaido would undoubtedly die.

This is Whitebeard now, Whitebeard at his peak.

"Pops, breaking news! The Golden Lion has appeared, wreaked havoc in Marineford, and was eventually captured."

Marco handed the report to Whitebeard.

While drinking and reading the news, the Whitebeard suddenly burst into laughter for no apparent reason.

"Indeed, Roger was the person he admired most."

After laughing, Whitebeard tossed the report aside.

Meanwhile, in another part of the New World, on a continent called Cake Continent, lies the territory of the now infamous Big Pirates.

"Mom, the Golden Lion has been captured."

In a spacious room, Katakuri held a report in his hand, looking up at the massive, mountain-like figure before him.

A gigantic hand, larger than a palm-leaf fan, reached out and grabbed the report from Katakuri's hand. After glancing at it, it laughed loudly, "That damned Golden Lion has finally appeared!"

"Mom, there's breaking news! Kaido's challenged Whitebeard to another duel!"

"How much did they hold out this time?" A rare hint of apprehension crept into Big's voice.

"Five." Katakuri's expression remained calm.

"Fifth, it seems Whitebeard let him off the hook. Although I don't know why Whitebeard didn't kill him, now is the perfect time to expand our territory."

On the Grand Line, in an unknown kingdom, war rages, plunging the entire nation into chaos.

"For freedom and peace, overthrow this country."

"Damn Revolutionary Army."

Bullets flew, artillery fire roared.

The magnificent Imperial City was now in complete chaos. A bear-like man simply pushed out a palm strike, shoving everything in his path aside, and countless resisting royal soldiers died on the spot.

"Unexpectedly, the long-lost Golden Lion has reappeared at this time and even invaded Marineford."

On a rooftop, a man shrouded in a cloak squinted as he looked at a news report in his hand.

"Bear, I'm leaving things here to you. I need to leave for a while."

The report fluttered in the wind, and a deep voice resounded through the air.

"Knew."
