Whitebeard's gaze swept across the battlefield.
The Navy, pirates, and the Thunder Emperor Corps —all three forces—came to a halt.
Everyone is waiting for his decision.
Whitebeard slowly withdrew the power of the vibration.
He did not agree.
They didn't refuse.
But silence itself already represents compromise.
Sengoku immediately raised his hand.
"All Vice Admiral of the Navy, seal off the area around Uchiha Itsu."
"Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, cease fighting."
"Next, the three parties will join forces to deal with the Thunder Emperor!"
For the first time ever, the Navy and pirates have joined forces to fight against Uchiha Itsu.
The entire navy and pirates were stunned.
Sengoku, Garp, and Whitebeard —three men who should have fought to the death—are now standing together.
The Whitebeard Pirates ' commanders stopped their attack.
The Marine Vice Admiral also put away his weapons.
Even the Three Admirals refrained from making any further moves for the time being.
Akainu stared at Whitebeard, his face extremely grim.
"The Navy and pirates teaming up?"
"I will absolutely not accept such a thing!"
Jozu clenched his fist as well.
"Why should we side with the Navy to fight against the Thunder Emperor?"
"They were just killing our brothers!"
" Jozu." Marco raised his hand to stop him, "Assess the situation first."
Jozu looked around.
The bodies in the square have not yet been cleared away.
There were marines and members of the Whitebeard Pirates.
But the area where the most people died was the one that Uchiha Itsu had slashed with his sword.
A massive sword wound traversed the battlefield.
The navy and pirates along the way all fell.
No one knows who Uchiha Itsu will target next.
The navy and pirates were still fighting each other.
But when the Sengoku period gave the order, both sides stopped fighting at the same time.
No one continued to attack the other.
No one wanted to get close to the Thunder Emperor Corps.
Thirty-six members of the Thunder Emperor Corps stood behind Uchiha Itsu, lightning crackling around them.
Hancock, Nami, Tashigi, and Perona are respectively holding back the Three Admirals and Marco.
In a short time, the Thunder Emperor Corps had killed a large number of marines and pirates.
Although their numbers are small, they are all incredibly powerful.
Ordinary soldiers couldn't even get close.
Even Vice Admiral would find it difficult to hold them off alone.
In comparison, the casualties between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates were not as severe as the losses caused by the Thunder Emperor Corps.
Everyone understood.
The Thunder Emperor Corps has become the greatest threat on this battlefield.
Sengoku swept past the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Do you want to continue fighting?
Jozu gritted his teeth and said:
"The Navy killed our brothers!"
" The Thunder Emperor also killed our men!"
Why don't you deal with the navy first?
The Sengoku period replied coldly:
"Because the navy has not yet posed a threat to the entire battlefield."
" Uchiha Itsu is different."
He makes no distinction between friend and foe; whoever stands in his way will die.
"If we continue to fight individually, he will only defeat us one by one in the end."
Whitebeard's gaze darkened.
He looked at Uchiha Itsu in the distance.
That sword energy he just saw had already made him feel the approach of death.
If he hadn't dodged in time, he would be dead from that sword light now.
The Sengoku period was right.
Uchiha Itsu doesn't care about anyone.
When the Whitebeard Pirates stood in his way, he killed Whitebeard Pirates.
When the navy blocked his way, he killed them.
If this continues, the first to break down will not be Uchiha Itsu, but his subordinates.
"Fufufufufu!"
Doflamingo stood at a distance, his laughter echoing throughout the square.
"That's really interesting."
"The Navy and Whitebeard have actually teamed up; they've actually appeared."
The nearby sailors turned to look at him.
Donquixote, shut up!
"Now is not the time to laugh at us!"
Doflamingo spread his hands.
I wasn't laughing.
"I just think this scene is so ironic."
"The Navy and Whitebeard have been fighting for so many years, but in the end, they have to work together against one person."
He looked at Uchiha Itsu, his excitement growing more and more evident.
This war has completely exceeded expectations.
First, the Thunder Emperor suddenly appeared.
Then Kong, Zephyr, and CP0 all disappeared.
Then, the Three Admirals attacked together, but were repelled by Uchiha Itsu in one move.
Now even the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates have taken sides.
Only Uchiha Itsu never took anyone seriously.
Doflamingo is looking forward to seeing what will happen next.
Uchiha Itsu looked at the three people in front of him.
The Whitebeard wields a naginata.
The Sengoku had already evolved into the Buddha Form.
Garp clenched his fists, his arms covered in jet-black Armament Haki.
The three of them locked onto him simultaneously.
Uchiha Itsu suddenly laughed.
" Whitebeard."
The Whitebeard raised his gaze.
Do you have any last words?
Uchiha Itsu glanced at him, then looked at Sengoku and Garp.
"I just find this scene incredibly ironic."
" Whitebeard, the World's Strongest Man, is actually going to team up with the Fleet Admiral and a naval hero."
Whitebeard's face darkened.
Don't think I want to do this.
"You forced me to do it."
"Forcing you?"
Uchiha Itsu shook his head.
"Your navy and pirates have been fighting for so long, and so many people have died."
"Now that you realize you can't defeat me, immediately put aside your hatred and join forces."
"Is this what you call a strong person?"
Whitebeard gripped his naginata tightly.
"If you're just spouting nonsense, I'll send you to your death right now!"
Uchiha Itsu ignored him.
"I used to think that the so-called World's Strongest Man at least had his own backbone."
"Now it seems, it's nothing special."
"For the sake of a few subordinates, even enemies are willing to stand by their side."
Anger flashed across the Whitebeard's face.
You don't understand the bond between a father and son!
"I can team up with the navy, but that doesn't mean I approve of them."
"As long as I can protect my son, I don't care who I fight alongside!"
Uchiha Itsu said calmly:
That sounds nice.
Actually, you're just scared.
Whitebeard suddenly raised his naginata.
"What did you say?"
"You're afraid that if the fighting continues, even more of your sons will die."
Uchiha Itsu's gaze fell on the captains behind Whitebeard.
"So you chose to join forces with the Navy."
"You're not doing this for victory."
"You just want to save them."
The Whitebeard's arms were bulging with veins.
Marco's expression changed slightly.
" Pops, don't let him provoke you."
Garp also took a step forward.
" Whitebeard, stop wasting your breath on him."
Sengoku stared coldly at Uchiha Itsu.
"Your wanton slaughter has long made you an enemy of everyone."
"We are joining forces today not because we are afraid of you."
"It's because eliminating you is more important than defeating Whitebeard."
Uchiha Itsu turned to look at Sengoku.
"Grand and imposing."
"You guys were just trying to kill Whitebeard."
"Now that you've realized you can't kill me, you're saying eliminating me is more important?"
