Whitebeard Newgate's punch was filled with intense anger. Although the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power was useless against Blackbeard, the attack, Conqueror's Haki coating, was something he couldn't withstand.
"What?! You can actually launch an attack like that!"
Blackbeard looked horrified and quickly raised his hands to defend himself.
"Boom..."
With a deafening roar, Blackbeard was struck by Whitebeard Newgate's massive fist, shattering the entire plaza.
Blood splattered everywhere, Blackbeard was embedded in the ground, his chest visibly caved in, and his arm broken off.
Mihawk, Jinbe, Crocodile, and Gecko Moria also retreated quickly, feeling the pressure from Whitebeard Newgate.
Crocodile, in particular, had given up on seeking revenge against Whitebeard Newgate after joining the Abyss Merchant Guild, though he was still somewhat resentful.
But at this moment, he actually sensed the aura of death emanating from Whitebeard Newgate. Whitebeard Newgate, who was attacking with hatred, was too terrifying. He even admired himself for being able to survive against him in the past.
At that moment, everyone stopped fighting and stared in horror at what they were seeing.
" Whitebeard Newgate has such fighting power? That's terrifying!"
"He shattered the entire battle arena made of special stone with a single punch, and this was the old and frail Whitebeard? Could this be him in his prime?!"
After Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru forced Hancock and Ace to retreat, they also looked warily in the direction of Whitebeard Newgate, their hearts filled with utter horror.
According to their intelligence, Whitebeard Newgate's strength had clearly declined, and coupled with his numerous illnesses and hidden injuries, he shouldn't have much longer to live.
Originally, they wanted to destroy a Five Emperors pirate crew for this very reason, in order to enhance the Navy's prestige in the world. But what have they seen now?!
According to intelligence, Whitebeard Newgate cannot use Conqueror's Haki Coating many times, and it is even unknown whether he can launch this technique at all.
But Whitebeard Newgate's punch completely overturned their understanding.
Even the Five Elders, who were watching the live broadcast, couldn't help but stand up.
This punch not only knocked Blackbeard into the ground, but also completely destroyed the Marine Headquarters ' arrangements and morale, with some even dropping their weapons in fear.
"Hahaha, this old guy still has such fighting power, it's really puzzling. Is he like Garp, immune to the erosion of time?"
Bullet stared at the Whitebeard Newgate as if he were prey, a fighting spirit involuntarily emanating from him.
Lin Yuan's gaze was also fixed on the Whitebeard Newgate, but his attention was more focused on the constantly twitching Blackbeard.
Kureha estimated that Blackbeard shouldn't have been unable to withstand that attack and was almost killed by a single punch.
"How could this be? Is Whitebeard Newgate really that strong?!"
Lin Yuan stared intently at Blackbeard, his Observation Haki locking onto him.
Whitebeard Newgate looked at Blackbeard, who was embedded in the ground. He was in a terrible state, with blood constantly oozing from the corner of his mouth, and even some fragments of his internal organs.
Some of the bones were broken, and the hands and feet were twisted irregularly.
A trace of sadness flashed in Whitebeard Newgate's eyes. After all, this was his son who had followed him for decades. Although he had killed him with his own hands, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Everyone, get around me! Ace, let's fight our way out with Pops!"
Having settled his score with Blackbeard, and utterly crushed the morale of the entire Navy, Whitebeard Newgate had achieved his goal.
While it could wipe out the entire Marine Headquarters, it didn't align with their previous plans.
Moreover, Lin Yuan had specifically told them not to push the Marine Headquarters into a corner, otherwise they would definitely fight back with their lives on the line.
In particular, if the Three Admirals were to unleash their full power, and Lin Yuan did not intervene, it could cause incalculable losses to these hundred men.
The goal this time is to completely destroy the Navy's prestige, not to annihilate the entire Marine Headquarters.
Upon hearing Whitebeard Newgate's words, Yamato and the others all gathered in the plaza. The demoralized navy's will to resist had also diminished considerably, which made things much easier for them.
"Damn it, I will not let you go back unscathed!"
Just then, the Fleet Admiral Sengoku suddenly jumped down from the high platform, his body suddenly growing to twenty meters in size, transforming into a golden Buddha.
"The Wrath of the Buddha Form - The Thousand-Armed Tathagata!"
Countless arms instantly appeared behind the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, each arm over ten meters long and radiating golden light.
Not only that, a full eighteen shockwaves were unleashed, shattering the space itself, and hurtling towards Whitebeard Newgate and his crew with overwhelming force.
Everyone was stunned; they never expected that the Fleet Admiral Sengoku could unleash such a powerful attack.
However, only Vice Admiral Tsuru, who was very close to Fleet Admiral Sengoku, noticed that blood was continuously flowing from the corner of Sengoku's mouth, as if this move was also going to cost him a great price.
A glint flashed in Whitebeard Newgate's eyes as he planted the Murakumogiri beside him, shielding everyone behind him. He raised his arms high, and two powerful shockwaves coalesced.
" Space Burst!"
It slammed heavily into the air, creating countless cracks, and a terrifying shockwave rippled through the entire space before blasting towards the eighteen shockwaves.
The force that shattered space and the shockwave collided violently. At that moment, everyone seemed to see a hole about one meter in size appear at the point where the two energies collided.
"Boom!"
This attack shattered the entire plaza, and some of the marines died while still unconscious.
The destructive power of the two energies far exceeded expectations, tearing a rift in the middle of Marineford and splitting the entire island in two.
A flicker of shock crossed Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Borsalino's eyes. They hadn't expected Fleet Admiral Sengoku to have achieved such a feat. Was this really the same Fleet Admiral they knew, the one who often drove them half-mad with rage but could only rage helplessly?
The three were deeply shaken, and even they didn't realize that a hint of admiration flashed in their eyes at that moment.
"This is terrifying! I don't want to fight them, but I can't let myself get too frustrated!"
Borsalino, you!
Upon hearing Borsalino's words, Sakazuki and Kuzan were taken aback. Was this really the Borsalino they knew?!
As the two energies dissipated and dust settled, everyone was astonished to discover that a bottomless Abyss had appeared in the middle of the plaza.
The Buddha that the Fleet Admiral Sengoku had transformed into vanished, and he fell to the ground, blood continuously flowing from the corner of his mouth.
As for Whitebeard Newgate, he was also bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and his breathing was noticeably more rapid.
" Yasakani no Magatama..."
Just then, countless golden light bullets suddenly blasted towards Whitebeard Newgate and the hundred people shrouded in cloaks, each of them being targeted by light bullets to varying degrees.
This was no longer an eight-foot-long jade with an outline; it was an eight-foot-long jade with a lock on its head! The aim was so precise that almost every shot missed, and a full thousand light bullets blasted towards everyone.
"Hmph, you're asking for it!"
" Mamaragan - Thunder God's Kingdom!"
Enel, no longer caring about hiding, spread his hands wide, and countless bolts of lightning suddenly blasted out, instantly weaving into a giant net of lightning.
Kuzan wasn't idle either; he led the remaining powerful naval forces in a fierce counterattack, and the great battle resumed.
However, no one noticed that a Blackbeard, who had just been almost killed by Whitebeard Newgate with a single punch.
