A Whitebeard pirate gripped his weapon and said in a low voice:
"If he really is a member of the Navy, that attack just now wouldn't have been a clearing maneuver; it would have been a direct attack on us."
"But he also killed a navy officer."
Who knows what he's really up to?
The navy also remained silent.
Sengoku stared at Uchiha Xin, his face grim.
He didn't want Uchiha Xin to get involved in the war, but he also didn't want Whitebeard and Uchiha Xin to fight directly.
However, the latter is clearly more in the navy's interest.
Once the two start fighting, the navy can take the opportunity to deplete both sides' strength.
Uchiha Xin glanced at Whitebeard.
"The Navy is not worthy of my assistance."
Akainu's face immediately darkened.
Aokiji's gaze also turned colder.
Kizaru then raised his hand and stroked his chin.
"That's really unpleasant to hear."
Uchiha Xin ignored them.
The Whitebeard Pirates are also not qualified.
Whitebeard paused slightly in his hand holding the naginata.
Marco's expression changed.
Jozu gritted his teeth.
"This guy..."
"They actually put us alongside the Navy to humiliate us?"
" Jozu."
Marco raised his hand to stop him.
Now is not the time to act impulsively.
Whitebeard stared at Uchiha Xin.
"If that's the case, why did you come here?"
Uchiha Xin opened his arms wide and burst into laughter.
"Because this sea is too chaotic."
"The Navy and pirates have been fighting for centuries, with the World Government hiding behind the scenes and controlling everything. So-called justice is nothing more than rules set by the strong."
"Today, I have come to end this chaotic world."
After the sound faded, a brief silence fell over the square.
Then, Whitebeard's expression turned completely grim.
"End the world?"
Who do you think you are?
Uchiha Xin remained calm.
"Someone who is more qualified to do this than you."
Anger rose in Whitebeard's eyes.
"He's just a brat."
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
The smile on Uchiha Xin's face vanished.
His gaze turned cold, and his aura changed at that moment.
I don't like this title.
Whitebeard did not look away.
"If I say you're a brat, then you're a brat."
Uchiha Xin raised his right hand, his fingertips pointing at Whitebeard.
"Anyone who dares to call me that will come to a bad end."
The Whitebeard grinned.
"Yeah?"
"I am the World's Strongest Whitebeard."
"Having sailed the high seas all this way, what haven't I seen?"
The naginata in his hand fell heavily to the ground.
boom!
The ground cracked instantly.
The force of the tremor spread outwards along the ground, causing nearby marines and pirates to lose their footing.
The members of the Whitebeard Pirates raised their weapons and roared deafeningly.
" Pops!"
"Let this brat see your power!"
" Pops is the World's Strongest!"
The Whitebeard Pirates will never lose!
The shouts grew louder and louder.
Whitebeard stood before everyone, his imposing figure like an unshakeable wall.
Sengoku watched this scene and suppressed the corners of his mouth.
Whitebeard's health is now very poor.
The battle just now also consumed a lot of my energy.
But as long as he stands, he remains one of the most dangerous and powerful figures in the world.
Uchiha Xin, however, remained unchanged.
He didn't even glance at the surrounding navy and pirates.
The next moment, he put two fingers together and slashed forward.
laugh!
A sword aura slashed out from his fingertips.
The sword energy moved forward without any unnecessary movements, skimming along the ground of the square.
The earth was cleaved open.
The rift surged all the way to Whitebeard's feet, and the marines and pirates along the way scattered to the sides.
"Get out of the way!"
"Run!"
"That sword energy is coming!"
The ground beneath someone's feet cracked open as soon as they turned around.
The sword energy, carrying pebbles, shot up and headed straight for the Whitebeard's chest.
Whitebeard did not retreat.
He gripped the naginata with both hands, concentrating all the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit onto the blade.
The air in front of the naginata visibly distorted.
" Quake Blade - Jade Shatters!"
The naginata cuts it off.
The shockwave collided with the sword energy.
boom!
The air felt like it had been shattered.
The sword energy began to shatter from the middle, then dissipated into countless rays of light.
The Shockwave rippled outwards.
The ground beneath Whitebeard's feet collapsed, and his legs sank into the rubble.
But he remained standing firmly.
"It's blocked!"
The Whitebeard Pirates immediately erupted in cheers.
" My Pops shattered his sword aura with a single strike!"
" Thunder Emperor is nothing special!"
"As long as Pops takes action, no enemy can stop him!"
Jozu grinned widely.
"I knew it, Pops wouldn't lose!"
Marco, however, did not laugh.
His gaze lingered on Uchiha Xin.
That sword energy was indeed powerful, but the opponent hasn't moved a single step since he made the move.
Even after Whitebeard blocked the sword energy, he wasn't completely unharmed.
His arm muscles were tense, and his chest heaved faster than before.
That strike, though seemingly effortless, actually mobilized a great deal of vibrational force.
Uchiha Xin raised his hand.
The second sword energy descended.
Whitebeard immediately swung his sword.
boom!
The sword energy was shattered once again.
The third course.
The fourth one.
The fifth one.
Uchi Xin stood still, continuously unleashing sword energy with two fingers.
Each sword strike is as powerful as the first.
The ground was repeatedly split open.
A series of massive ravines crisscrossed the plaza, forcing the surrounding navy and pirates to retreat continuously.
Whitebeard could only use his naginata to defend himself.
The Quake Blade slashed out again and again.
The sword energy exploded in front of the naginata.
The vibration shattered the sword energy, but the impact continued to travel along the blade into Whitebeard's arms.
" Pops!"
Marco sensed something was wrong.
"Don't keep trying to take the hits head-on!"
Whitebeard did not answer.
The tenth sword aura was already upon them.
He raised his naginata horizontally, and the blade clashed with the sword energy once more.
boom!
The ground beneath Whitebeard's feet completely collapsed.
His body slid backward for more than ten meters, leaving two deep marks on the ground with the soles of his shoes.
The vibrations from the naginata also paused briefly.
Jozu's smile vanished.
" Pops was forced to back down?"
"Weren't you having a great time just now?"
"The power of those sword energies hasn't diminished at all!"
Unrest also broke out in the naval camp.
A Vice Admiral stared intently at Uchiha Xin.
"He unleashed so many strikes in succession, yet his aura remained unchanged."
"How many times can he unleash an attack of this magnitude?"
The Sengoku remained silent.
His expression grew increasingly grim.
Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit has been developed to an extremely high level.
The force of the tremors could easily destroy an island.
However, each time this power is unleashed, it places a tremendous burden on the body.
Whitebeard was too old and had been through a long period of fighting.
His physical strength is no longer at its peak.
Uchiha Xin as if it were nothing more than a casual swing.
Each attack showed no signs of excessive energy expenditure.
If things continue like this, Whitebeard will be worn down sooner or later.
The Sengoku originally planned to wait until the fighting between the two sides became more intense before looking for an opportunity to make a move.
But he soon discovered that Uchi Xin had stopped the remote attacks.
