Swoosh...
boom...
The atmosphere exploded, and a powerful shockwave blasted down from beneath his feet. The ground cracked instantly, and ravines continued to extend, ultimately dealing another heavy blow to the headquarters building.
At the critical moment, Akainu swiftly shifted his body to the side, narrowly avoiding Whitebeard's fatal blow. Before Whitebeard could retaliate, Akainu immediately scrambled to his feet, ran to Whitebeard's side, and forcefully blasted the magma he had gathered in his fists.
Bang...
Bang...
Bang...
Akainu's Heavy Fist punches landed repeatedly on Whitebeard's injured chest, the force of which was so great that the air itself seemed to vibrate, and the sound was like that of a cannon blast.
However, Whitebeard did not dodge Akainu's attacks, blocking them with his arm and then throwing them away.
Pfft~
Bang...
"Pfft~"
The Whitebeard's right fist was once again enveloped in shockwaves, and a white energy shield slammed straight towards his side, slamming him down hard.
Akainu was struck and bled, then fell to the ground.
Swoosh...
brush...
Whitebeard walked up to Akainu, bent down, and used the shockwave to smash into his head again.
Swoosh...
" Hell Hound!!"
His body turned into magma, and he suddenly shot forward. As he approached Whitebeard's chest, a punch condensed a large amount of magma energy and violently pierced through Whitebeard's chest.
call...
The Magma Fist pierced through his body, leaving another huge burn wound on Whitebeard's body. The flames continued to burn, and he seemed to be struggling to withstand the blow, kneeling on one knee with his face down, making it difficult to determine whether he was alive or dead.
" Pops!!"
The pirates under Whitebeard couldn't help but shed tears and cry out upon seeing this scene.
clatter...
Whitebeard, have you made your decision?
Rayleigh was forced to retreat during his fight with Akainu, Rayleigh stopped interfering when he saw Whitebeard about to make a move. However, upon witnessing Akainu pierce Whitebeard's chest, Rayleigh could clearly sense through his Observation Haki that Whitebeard's aura, though faint, was still present and growing stronger.
Buzz...
Huff... huff... huff...
"You're finally dead, Whitebeard!!"
Akainu, panting, glanced at him and then spoke.
However, just as he thought Whitebeard was dead and had fallen silent, he turned to walk towards Jinbe and the others. At that moment, two sharp eyes filled with extreme anger stared at his back.
At the same time, Whitebeard's body, which everyone thought was dead, finally trembled. Immediately afterwards, a powerful aura, like a surging ocean, pressed down on Akainu's shoulder.
"Damn it, you monster..."
Akainu turned around with difficulty, speaking in a trembling voice.
"Um..."
Whitebeard suddenly reached out, grabbed Akainu by the collar, lifted him up, and tossed him into the air, then punched him in the side.
Click click...
The atmosphere shattered like a mirror, and turbulent air currents filled the entire area. The shockwaves emanating from the fist entered Akainu's body, causing him to cough up blood again and collapse weakly to the ground.
Swoosh...
Bang...
Crack crack... Boom!!
He bent down and threw a punch, the swirling white aura compressing the air layer and slamming Akainu, who was about to get up, face down.
The violent shockwaves spread throughout the entire square, and ravines stretched almost through Marineford. The tall building that symbolized justice finally succumbed to the impact of the Impact and collapsed completely, revealing a huge figure in black and white prison uniforms.
Akainu, unable to rise from Whitebeard's attack, tumbled down the collapsing fault line, falling into the bottomless, dark ravine along with the rubble.
"Hey, look, what's that?"
"Hey, there's trouble at headquarters fortress..."
"Then, could that be...?"
The navy soldiers became agitated, exclaiming as they saw the massive figure appear behind the fortress.
"Ah~ We've been found out..."
The man spoke in a voice as loud as a gong.
"Captain, what should we do now? The navy has spotted us..."
Sanjuan, named the Colossal Battleship by the navy, looked somewhat shy and turned to look in another direction when the navy spotted him, calling out.
"Hahaha, this is all your fault, Sanjuan. Your size is so big that it attracted the attention of the Navy."
However, I never expected to be able to deceive the entire navy and quietly complete our plan...
A defiant figure finally revealed his true identity to all the Marines and pirates. He was none other than Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach, the greatest Marshall D. Teach who had instigated the war between the Marines Blackbeard Whitebeard a conspiracy, carried out his plan in Impel Down, and had been lurking there all along.
"It's you... the traitor Teach!!"
Upon seeing Blackbeard, the crew on Whitebeard's ship were all enraged, glaring at them and shouting excitedly.
"Hahaha, long time no see, Pops, everyone..."
I went to great lengths to see you one last time before you died... Pops!!
Teach was very pleased with everyone's reaction, then burst into laughter and said to Whitebeard.
" Teach..."
The Whitebeard man's sharp gaze fell upon him, and then he shouted in a deep voice.
"Ara ara ara, it's already appeared? The biggest beneficiary of this war, the future Four Emperors Blackbeard..."
Luo Chen turned to look at Blackbeard and his group, and after scanning them with a slightly appraising gaze, he teased them.
At his feet, Hawkins, Bonney, and Bege lay dying on the ground.
"And next to Blackbeard are... prisoners?!"
"Those are indeed level 6 prisoners, but how did they get here?"
"Each one of them is a heinous criminal, having even erased their existence from the world's memory. They are the most vicious criminals in the world, and absolutely none of them should be allowed into this world..."
Some Vice Admiral in the navy who had access to more in-depth information were stunned when they saw the face of the prisoner standing next to Blackbeard.
"Ah, not only were we discovered, but we were also recognized..."
"That's the Colossal Battleship Sanjuan..."
"The ' Corrupt King ' Avalo Pizarro, the ' Crescent Moon Hunter ' Katarina Devon, the ' Heavy Drinker ' Vearth Jotte, and the 'Rain' Shiryu..."
Amidst the Navy's astonishment, the true identities of the prisoners who had appeared beside Teach were revealed one by one.
" Shiryu, you... how did you get here? And what happened to Magellan? What's the situation at Impel Down? And how did you all get here...?"
Sengoku's tone was somewhat hurried. Seeing former Chief Warden Shiryu and Teach appear here together, and knowing that he, one of Impel Down's two major forces, was here, he couldn't help but worry about Magellan, the warden of the prison. He anxiously asked Shiryu.
"You can confirm this later. Anyway, I've decided to join forces with them now. I look forward to your guidance in the future."
Shiryu, puffing on his cigar, didn't respond to Sengoku's words, but instead said something like this.
whoosh whoosh...
" Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I am truly sorry that I haven't had a chance to tell you this until now. Just now, the guards of the Gate of Justice sent word that the Gate of Justice has been opened again without confirmation, and an unidentified warship has sailed in. I don't know..."
"Alright, enough said. I understand now. So those people were your doing, Blackbeard?!"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku waved his hand to stop him, then turned his gaze to Blackbeard and his group and asked.
"Hehehe, I'm so sorry, I hypnotized those naval personnel before we passed through, telling them to let us through as long as any warships passed through the Gate of Justice..."
However, it seems that this has also benefited the others...
Blackbeard's crew member Devil Sheriff, stepped forward to explain for Sengoku.
"..."
After hearing his explanation, Sengoku thought of Luffy and his crew's sudden appearance and gritted his teeth in resentment.
"Hahaha, as a pirate, you'll be hated by the government. You can't pass through the Gate of Justice, nor can you enter Impel Down..."
The reason I became Shichibukai was for this, but I don't care about that title anymore...
Teach clasped his fists and spoke to Sengoku with a disdainful tone.
"Is your goal to liberate those people?" Sengoku asked again, his voice filled with hatred.
"Of course... we came here for that purpose from the very beginning, and that will determine everything. You'll soon find out..."
Teach nodded, then spread his arms and shouted back at him.
"Teach...!"
At this moment, while Sengoku was talking to Teach, Whitebeard, who was already struggling to keep up, finally spoke up and shouted loudly at Blackbeard.
"Well?!"
"Oh no, Captain! Danger!!"
Upon hearing his subordinate's warning, Teach immediately became alert and leaped to the right. A powerful shockwave struck, bombarding the main fortress and destroying it along with the Execution Platform in front of it.
Tap... Sizzle!!
"You really showed no mercy, Pops!!"
Although Teach and his group sensed the danger in time and dodged it, they still suffered minor injuries.
Teach wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and spoke to the Whitebeard.
"Only you, only you are unworthy to be called my son, Teach, you have violated the only ironclad rule on the ship and murdered your own comrade."
For the sake of the vengeful spirit of Thatch, the captain of the fourth team who died, I will definitely kill you!!
Whitebeard, catching his breath, continued speaking to Teach.
"Hahaha, I couldn't be happier..."
Swoosh...
Thump!!
After laughing, Teach jumped down and stood in front of Whitebeard.
"Let me show you, Pops, this ability I got from Thatch... Black Hole!!"
After saying that, Teach stretched out his palm, which was shimmering with thick black smoke, and then pressed it hard onto the ground.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Under Teach's palm, thick black smoke rapidly spread to Whitebeard's feet, while the surrounding rubble was swallowed up and crushed to nothing under his control.
brush...
As the surrounding rocks were crushed, the Whitebeard's legs gradually sank into the ground.
"La, Pops, Thatch is dead, Ace is dead. I used to respect you a lot, but now you're really old, you can't even save a subordinate who's about to be executed. And I even spared Ace in Banaro..."
After consuming the Dark-Dark Fruit, he gained immense confidence in facing Whitebeard and dared to speak to him in such a manner.
"That bastard!!"
When the captain of the Vista saw Teach's attitude, he got angry and looked like he was about to go over and tear him to pieces, but he was stopped in time by the others.
"What exactly is that plume of black smoke?!"
The Navy saw a large cloud of black smoke appear in Teach's hand, but they didn't know what it was.
Swoosh...
Bang!! Whoosh...
Bang!! Whoosh...
Bang!! Whoosh...
"It's useless, Pops. All Devil Fruit abilities are futile against my Dark-Dark Fruit power..."
Bang!! Whoosh...
Every time Whitebeard's attack was aimed at Teach's head, it was neutralized by Teach's strange ability. Still looking unwilling to give up, Teach continued to throw punches.
"I told you it's useless, Pops. Without the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, you're nothing more than a frail old man in my eyes. After all this fighting, let you try my fist..."
As he spoke, Teach grabbed Whitebeard's arm with a hand shrouded in dark energy and pulled him towards her, then slammed another fist into his chest.
Bang...
Bang...
"Whoosh, it's not over yet, let's go again..."
Teach punched the Whitebeard several times in the chest, making him vomit blood, but he was still not satisfied and pulled him over again.
"Um..."
brush...
The Whitebeard's eyes narrowed, and he freed his arm from the man's palm, tossing the pheasant knife into the air.
rustling...
Clang!!
Taking advantage of Teach's momentary lapse in defense, he caught the pheasant sword with both hands, flipped it under his palms, and then forcefully slashed it down at Teach's shoulder blade.
"Ouch! That hurts!!"
Teach was struck by the sudden attack, screaming and rolling on the ground, crying out in agony.
Clang...
Tap... Tap...
"Arrogance, recklessness, Pride —these are your flaws, Teach!!"
Whitebeard gripped the hilt of the pheasant sword with his left hand, somersaulted onto the man's right palm, then stepped on the man's other hand with one foot, pinning him hard to the ground. He then reached out and pressed his right hand against the man's forehead, saying...
"Hey, stop! Stop, Pops! Do you want to kill your own child?"
Seeing Whitebeard's furious rage, with a white shockwave enveloping his entire face, Teach feared that Whitebeard would simply finish him off, so he abandoned all pretense and begged for mercy from Whitebeard.
call out...
"Stop, stop!!"
boom...
While Teach shamelessly pleaded with Whitebeard, Whitebeard had already made his move, activating his power, causing violent tremors to sweep in all directions, and Giant trenches to spread out beneath his feet.
Amidst the turmoil and the rising smoke, everyone eagerly awaited to see if Teach had been dealt with by Whitebeard.
Wow...
After a short while, Teach, clutching his bleeding forehead, swayed to his feet and cackled.
"How lucky I was, I wasn't dragged into hell with him."
"Damn, that guy's got a really lucky life."
" Pops, hurry up and Teach that bastard Teach off..."
" Pops, hurry, hurry and do it..."
Seeing that Teach was still alive, the pirates on the other side were unwilling to let him escape and shouted to their Pops, Whitebeard.
Unfortunately, no matter how many times they called, Whitebeard's upright body remained completely still.
"Huh?? What's going on, Pops? Could it be...?"
Finally, the pirates noticed his unusual behavior and hesitated.
"... Pops's body can't hold on any longer..."
Marco spoke, his voice choked with emotion.
