" Whitebeard, I'll take your life!"
Akainu didn't let the opportunity pass, and charged again while Whitebeard was injured.
" Pops!"
Upon witnessing this, Marco, Ace, and the others were instantly thrown into a panic and hurriedly tried to leave their own battlefield to support Whitebeard. However, their opponents would not allow them to do so.
"Where are you rushing off to, Marco!"
Kizaru appeared in front of Marco in an instant and kicked him.
"Bang!"
A dull thud was heard, and Marco's figure was instantly sent flying backward.
After landing, Marco looked at Kizaru not far away with a gloomy gaze, but most of his attention was on Whitebeard over there.
Without hesitation, Marco charged towards Whitebeard once more.
But Kizaru is no pushover. If Marco's Akainu at this moment, given Akainu's personality, who knows how much he would berate him after the battle!
Thinking this, Kizaru reappeared in front of Marco and delivered another kick!
Just moments ago, Marco was holding Kizaru back from providing support, but in a short time now the battle has shifted, and their roles have been reversed.
Moreover, when it comes to stalling, Kizaru, with his Glint-Glint Fruit, undoubtedly has the advantage!
" Marco, give up on your idea of supporting Whitebeard. With me here, you won't get through!" Kizaru said with his lewd face.
"Damn it!" Marco's eyes darkened, flickering with uncertainty!
Ace and the other captains were in the same situation, all tightly bound by their opponents, and could only watch helplessly as Akainu attacked Whitebeard.
Whitebeard raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and threw a punch at Akainu, who was rushing towards him.
"Boom!"
Akainu was blasted away by this powerful punch, turning into lava that splashed onto the ice, before reforming into his Akainu form.
Akainu's expression turned grim; he hadn't expected that Whitebeard, despite having a hole punched in his chest, would still possess such immense strength.
"What a monster!"
Akainu sighed softly. Although he and Whitebeard were enemies, he had to admit the strength of the man before him.
The body ages, old injuries linger, and new injuries keep appearing!
Despite all these unfavorable conditions, he still possesses such strength; the title of the World's Strongest Man is truly well-deserved.
He now has to admit that if it were the young Whitebeard, he would have no chance against his opponent.
But... what if it's always just a hypothetical?
He currently holds the advantage! And just then, Akainu caught a glimpse of a certain figure out of the corner of his eye, and a slight smile crept onto his lips. The next moment, he charged towards Whitebeard!
Whitebeard looked at Akainu in front of him, and was about to throw another punch to force him back, when he heard a hurried voice.
" Pops! Watch out!!!"
The very next second after that voice came, Whitebeard also sensed an aura behind him, followed by a sharp gust of wind.
Whitebeard turned slightly to the side, and what came into view was a sleazy-looking middle-aged man. It was Kizaru!
At that moment, Kizaru was holding a lightsaber and slashing fiercely at him, while Akainu also arrived in front of him from the other side.
" Hell Hound!"
Suddenly, Whitebeard found himself caught in a pincer movement.
Meanwhile, Marco, who was rushing towards this place from afar, was furious. He never expected that Kizaru's real target was his Pops.
No wonder he unleashed such a wide-ranging attack just now; it was to restrict his movements so he could run over and support Akainu.
The problem was that Kizaru was far faster than him, and coupled with the delay, he couldn't stop Kizaru at all. He could only watch helplessly as Whitebeard was attacked from both sides.
But Whitebeard showed no panic whatsoever. Instead, he spread his arms wide and simultaneously punched Kizaru and Akainu with both fists.
"Sizzle!"
The air on either side of Whitebeard shattered like glass, and the attacks from Akainu and Kizaru were both blocked.
"You two think you can take my head? Kid, you're not qualified!"
Whitebeard spoke with domineering Haki, then exerted his strength, sending both Akainu and Kizaru flying.
However, just as Whitebeard breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest. Looking down, he saw a knife piercing his back without warning and emerging from his chest.
Whitebeard immediately turned around and threw a powerful punch, but there was no one behind him anymore, only a man in a white suit standing a dozen meters away.
The man said calmly, "Let me introduce myself, my name is White Dove!"
"Pfft!"
Whitebeard coughed up a mouthful of blood, but he stubbornly refused to collapse. Instead, he gently patted his chest, and the knife embedded in his body flew out from behind him instantly.
The moment the sword left his body, Whitebeard couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood. Then, looking at White Dove, he said:
"CP0? The World Government's methods are as despicable as ever!"
"Despicable? Whitebeard, you've lived all these years, don't you know that this is the most ridiculous word on the battlefield?"
"History is written by the victors, and you're a pirate while I'm a government official. No method is too much when dealing with vicious pirates like you!"
The White Dove spoke calmly, then turned its gaze to Akainu and Kizaru.
"My two Admiral, let's work together to quickly deal with this menace Whitebeard, and then we'll go help the Five Elders!"
Kizaru and Akainu didn't speak, but they nodded. Then, as if by unspoken agreement, the three of them charged towards Whitebeard simultaneously.
They had no intention of saying more. Villains die from talking too much; every thirty seconds of talking wasted half a minute, which was enough time for one of Whitebeard's captains to come and rescue him.
Therefore, their best course of action was to fight a quick battle and defeat Whitebeard in the shortest possible time.
Whitebeard's eyes darkened slightly, and his heart sank to the bottom. However, he did not surrender.
He had already disregarded his own life before coming here to save Ace. Now that these three wanted him dead, he was determined to kill one of them.
As for his target, he had already decided: CP0, the guy in the white suit who looked all respectable but kept rambling on and on.
Just as Whitebeard made his decision, the three of them arrived in front of Whitebeard and attacked Whitebeard simultaneously.
A resolute look appeared on Whitebeard's face as he clenched his fist and launched an attack.
However, the next moment, two of the three, besides Whitebeard, showed expressions of surprise, while the third's face was filled with horror...
