Seawater poured in through the crack.
" Pops's getting serious!"
Marco, pinned to the bottom of the pit by Perona, still looked up at the battlefield.
He knew all too well the power of this move.
Whitebeard's body was already weakened and he could no longer fight for long.
However, if all their power is concentrated into a single attack, they can still shatter the Marine Headquarters.
"Retreat immediately!"
Jozu blocked an attack from a member of the Thunder Emperor Corps and shouted:
"Don't go near the battlefield between Pops and the Thunder Emperor!"
The members of the Whitebeard Pirates retreated.
The navy also sensed the danger.
A Vice Admiral hurriedly shouted:
"Everyone, leave the center of the square!"
The Sengoku period was a grim sight.
Has Whitebeard gone mad?
He was well aware of the destructive range of this move.
If Whitebeard were to unleash his full power here, not only Uchiha Itsu, but even the Marine Headquarters could be destroyed.
"Shattering the Sky Split!"
Whitebeard simultaneously unleashed both fists forward.
boom!
A terrifying shockwave erupted instantly.
The ground cracked extensively around him.
Cracks, like huge wounds, stretched out in all directions.
The plaza began to sink.
The Execution Platform shook violently.
The ice wall collapsed in large sections.
The seawater surged up to waves tens of meters high, crashing back towards the naval positions.
The entire Marineford was shaking.
White pressure crushed the air, and Conqueror's Haki lightning continuously exploded.
The aftershocks of that single move were enough to make the nearby marines and pirates lose their footing.
Many people were so shocked that they fell to their knees.
"That's the power of Pops!"
" Thunder Emperor can't stop it!"
"This move could sink the entire island!"
The members of the Whitebeard Pirates shouted loudly.
However, the Sengoku showed no sign of joy.
He stared intently at Uchiha Itsu.
If Uchiha Itsu cannot stop him, the Whitebeard Pirates will suffer heavy losses.
If Uchiha Itsu had blocked it, the aftershocks of that attack would have destroyed a large number of Marines.
What's more troublesome is that Whitebeard has lost control.
He didn't consider the consequences at all.
" Whitebeard!"
Warring Sengoku Roar:
Do you want everyone to die with you?
Whitebeard did not respond.
At that moment, his eyes were fixed solely on Uchiha Itsu.
"Take this!"
A white pressure blasted towards Uchiha Itsu.
Uchiha Itsu did not move.
He simply raised his hand and waved it.
A sword aura slashed out from the ordinary longsword.
laugh!
The sword energy shot into the sky in an instant.
It was only a few meters wide at first.
The next moment, the sword energy surged against the wind, transforming into a massive slash that spanned thousands of meters.
It fell from the sky above the plaza, striking directly at Whitebeard's Shattering Void Sky Split.
boom!
The sword energy collided head-on with the white air pressure.
There was no stalemate.
The white pressure cracked open from the middle beneath the sword's edge.
The Conqueror's Haki lightning was forcibly shattered.
Even Armament Haki couldn't stop the advance of the sword energy.
The massive sword light surged forward, completely tearing apart Whitebeard's deadly attack.
The sword mark fell to the ground.
The entire square looked as if it had been cleaved in two by a giant sword.
The crack in the ground extended forward, bursting out of the Marine Headquarters and finally slicing into the sea.
Boom!
The seawater was sliced open by the sword energy.
Waves hundreds of meters high surged up from both sides, carving a deep trench into the seabed.
The pirate ship behind Whitebeard shook violently.
The Moby Dick was almost capsized.
Whitebeard stood still, his naginata held horizontally in front of him.
His body instinctively shifted to the side.
The sword energy grazed his side, slicing through a large area of ruins behind him.
Whitebeard's pupils contracted continuously.
He just experienced death.
It's not an injury.
It's not a defeat.
Rather, if that sword energy were to actually strike him, he would surely die.
Even at his peak, he couldn't withstand this sword strike.
" Pops!"
Marco couldn't help but shout.
Whitebeard did not answer.
He looked at Uchiha Itsu in the distance, who was holding an ordinary longsword, and for the first time did not immediately refute him.
The square was deathly silent.
The naval soldiers forgot about the attack.
The Whitebeard Pirates ' captain also stopped moving.
The Three Admirals who were just fighting also looked at the sword mark that stretched across the earth.
Kizaru opened his mouth.
That's really an exaggeration.
Akainu's face turned ashen.
" Whitebeard's Shattering Sky Split was cleaved in two by a single sword strike?"
Aokiji stared at the cracks in the sea, his fingers tightening slightly.
"His swordsmanship has improved again."
Sengoku's expression changed completely.
He didn't look at the sword marks, nor did he look at the Whitebeard.
Instead, he looked at the naval soldiers lying in the distance.
That sword swept across the land, engulfing both the navy and pirates in its path.
Many members of the Whitebeard Pirates died instantly from the sword's energy.
Whitebeard finally came to his senses.
His gaze passed over Uchiha Itsu and landed on the corpse behind him.
That was his son.
They were fighting fiercely on the battlefield just moments ago, but now they lie dead in pools of blood.
Whitebeard's grip on the naginata tightened continuously.
The Sengoku also made its decision at this time.
He leaped off the Execution Platform, landing directly in the center of the square.
Garp followed closely behind.
The two men stood on either side of the Whitebeard.
This scene stunned everyone.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
Navy Garp the Hero.
All the Whitebeard Pirates looked at them.
Jozu even doubted that he was seeing things.
What are Sengoku and Garp planning?
Why are they standing next to Pops?
"Is the Navy going to join forces with Pops?"
Sengoku ignored the sounds around him.
He stared at Uchiha Itsu and said in a deep voice:
" Whitebeard, you should know that now is not the time to act rashly."
The Whitebeard glanced at him sideways.
"I don't need the navy's help."
"You need to."
Sengoku pointed to the corpse in the distance.
"How many of your crew members died from that sword strike just now?"
Whitebeard's expression grew increasingly grim.
"Shut up!"
"If you continue to fight one-on-one, you will lose more sons."
The voices of the Sengoku did not cease.
You can't stop him.
"We can't stop him either."
"But if all three parties join forces, there's still a chance to stop him here."
Whitebeard gripped his naginata tightly and said angrily:
When has the Navy ever considered the interests of pirates?
I wasn't thinking of you.
Sengoku looked towards the distant naval positions.
" Uchiha Itsu has exceeded everyone's expectations."
"Continue fighting individually; he will defeat the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates one by one."
"If you don't agree, it won't just be those people who died earlier who will die next."
Whitebeard fell silent.
He looked at Uchiha Itsu.
The ordinary longsword was still in the other person's hand.
The sword was undamaged.
Uchiha Itsu's breathing remained unchanged.
Whitebeard knew that the sword strike he had just used was not Uchiha Itsu's limit.
It doesn't even qualify as serious.
He alone could not possibly defeat the man before him.
Continuing to fight will only lead to the deaths of more sons behind us.
Even though he was asked to join forces with the Navy, Whitebeard still couldn't accept it.
Sengoku noticed his hesitation.
"This is the only way."
"Unless you're willing to watch more people die here."
