Garp, Zephyr, Kizaru, and Akainu hurriedly charged at Whitebeard.
"This path is blocked!" Ryan took the lead in stopping them.
He was now allied with the Whitebeard Pirates, so he absolutely could not let them stop Whitebeard. Besides, he wanted to see just how strong Whitebeard could become, and whether the boost from the Energy Steroid was truly limitless.
If it was limitless, that would be ridiculously broken!
"Grrr!"
As Whitebeard swallowed the red capsule, his previously weakened aura surged once more. His white pupils against crimson sclera became even more striking, and combined with his towering body, he looked like an abyssal demon god descending upon the world.
However, the wrinkles on Whitebeard's face deepened. Though he was only sixty-two, he seemed to have aged more than a decade in an instant!
"Die!" Whitebeard threw a punch at Akainu. This Magma Brat had killed Jozu, and he was injured now—if Whitebeard did not kill him, then who would he kill?
It was not that Akainu was weak. His earlier defeat to Ryan had been due to carelessness, compounded by a battlefield that was extremely unfavorable to him. On Fish-Man Island, he was facing an enraged Whitebeard!

Sengoku blocked Whitebeard's blow for Akainu.

In his golden Daibutsu Form, Sengoku crashed heavily into the ground, smashing out a huge crater!
Suddenly, Sengoku felt something digging into him. When he got up and looked, he found that Akainu was pinned beneath him.
Akainu: "Damn it, why am I always the one getting hurt?!"
