Whitebeard stared wide-eyed at the bottom of the pit.
" Ace!"
Ace looked down at the wound on his chest; his body had lost all strength.
He did not fall.
Only after the last punch landed did he slowly close his eyes.
" Pops... I'm sorry..."
Ace's body fell backward.
The flames were completely extinguished.
[Ding! Host has successfully killed Portgas D. Ace!]
[Ding! You have gained the Logia Fruit, the Flame-Flame Fruit!]
[Ding! Host has been detected to have mastered Conqueror's Haki!]
[Ding! Host's Conqueror's Haki proficiency has greatly increased!]
Whitebeard looked at Ace lying in front of him, as if all his strength had been drained away.
" Ace..."
He reached out to grab Ace, but only managed to grab a handful of blood-stained pebbles.
Uchiha Itsu gave him no time to catch his breath.
"Armed - Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack."
Countless black fist shadows fell once more.
Whitebeard raised his head, his eyes fixed only on the fallen figure of Ace.
His Conqueror's Haki was completely thrown into chaos.
The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit also went out of control.
The first punch landed on his chest.
The second punch shattered the shoulder bone.
The third punch severed the arm.
The fourth, the fifth, the Six Paths...
A barrage of fist shadows rained down.
Whitebeard offered no resistance.
His body was repeatedly pierced by the relentless attacks, and blood gushed from the wounds.
Marco was completely suppressed by Perona.
Jozu has died in battle.
The other captains were kept at a distance by the Thunder Emperor Corps and could only watch as Whitebeard took the hits.
" Pops!"
"Stop!"
"Stop hitting!"
The shouts of the Whitebeard Pirates echoed throughout the square.
Uchiha Itsu didn't pause at all.
The final flurry of punches landed simultaneously.
boom!
Whitebeard's body was blasted into the ground.
A major earthquake occurred.
Gravel and dust shot high into the sky.
His breath quickly dissipated.
[Ding! Host has successfully killed Edward Newgate!]
[Ding! You have obtained the Paramecia Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability!]
[Ding! Gained Conqueror's Haki proficiency!]
Whitebeard, the World's Strongest Man, died on the battlefield.
Whitebeard's body was blasted into the ground.
A major earthquake occurred.
Gravel and dust shot high into the sky.
The Whitebeard aura dissipated rapidly.
[Ding! Host has successfully killed Edward Newgate!]
[Ding! You have obtained the Paramecia Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability!]
[Ding! Gained Conqueror's Haki proficiency!]
The World's Strongest Man of his generation fell at Marineford.
The battlefield fell silent.
All the members of the Whitebeard Pirates stopped what they were doing and stared intently at the ruins.
Marco was pinned to the bottom of the pit by Perona, his face drained of color.
Jozu died in battle.
Ace fell.
Now even the Whitebeard has lost its breath.
" Pops..."
Vista gripped his twin swords, his arms trembling uncontrollably.
"How so?"
"That's Pops!"
The Whitebeard Pirates ' captains stared at the ruins, none of them daring to rush forward.
It's not that they didn't want to save people.
Instead, Uchiha Itsu was still standing in front of the ruins.
The black fist shadow had disappeared, but Uchiha Itsu's aura showed no signs of weakening.
If he throws just one more punch, the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates will all die here.
The navy also remained silent.
The Three Admirals stood at a distance.
Akainu looked at Whitebeard's corpse without a trace of joy in his eyes.
Aokiji remained silent.
Kizaru raised his hand to adjust the brim of his hat, the ease on his face completely gone.
The Sengoku clenched his fist.
This war was originally intended by the Navy to execute Ace and severely damage the Whitebeard Pirates.
But now, the navy has suffered heavy casualties.
The Whitebeard Pirates were also almost completely wiped out.
In the end, it was actually Raiden Uchiha Itachi who stood firm.
"Retreat."
Marco gritted his teeth and spoke with difficulty.
His body was still being trampled on by Perona, and the Phoenix Flame within him was being suppressed by World-Breaking Level Armament Haki.
"Everyone, evacuate Marineford."
We can't stay here any longer.
Whitebeard is dead.
Ace is already dead.
Continuing to fight will only lead to the deaths of all the remaining people.
But just then, a figure suddenly appeared behind the naval camp.
The man was tall, dressed in a long black robe, and wore a hood.
He neither released his aura nor made a sound, but simply approached the Whitebeard corpse step by step.
The surrounding navy was on guard against the Thunder Emperor Corps, and no one noticed his arrival.
Uchiha Itsu raised his eyes.
The man walked to the ruins, bent down, and grabbed the Whitebeard corpse.
He lifted the Whitebeard, burly body with one hand.
A nearby navy officer finally noticed something was wrong.
Who are you?
The man in black robes did not answer.
He raised his hand and waved it, creating a narrow crack in the space in front of him.
Whitebeard's body was dragged directly into it.
The crack closed quickly.
The entire process took no more than a few breaths.
Immediately afterwards, several suppressed screams came from afar.
The sound was very soft, but it did not escape Uchiha Itsu's hearing.
Those are members of the Blackbeard Pirates.
They had already quietly arrived at the battlefield and, taking advantage of everyone's attention being drawn to Whitebeard, took away Whitebeard's body.
Uchiha Itsu did not stop it.
Whitebeard is dead.
The corpse had other uses for Blackbeard.
Furthermore, since Blackbeard wants the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he will inevitably expose himself.
It's not too late to deal with it then.
System notifications kept popping up.
[Ding! Host has successfully acquired the Paramecia Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability!]
[Ding! Host has successfully acquired all of Whitebeard's Haki proficiency!]
[Ding! Detection has been detected that the host has mastered the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power!]
[Ding! Do you wish to equip the Tremor-Tremor Fruit?]
"Mosaic."
Uchiha Itsu did not hesitate.
The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit quickly merged into his body.
A vibrational law spread from within his body.
His flesh, bones, and soul simultaneously endured the force of the shock.
However, the Body of the Extreme Path showed no problems whatsoever.
[Ding! The Tremor-Tremor Fruit been successfully implanted!]
[Ding! The Tremor-Tremor Fruit has fully fused with the host's power!]
[Ding! Detected that Whitebeard Haki extremely strong Haki!]
[Ding! Host's World-Breaking Level Haki has been greatly enhanced!]
[Ding! Current progress: 20%!]
Uchiha Itsu clenched his fist.
The space around the palm vibrated gently.
The Haki aura left behind by Whitebeard directly increased his World-Breaking Level Haki by two-tenths.
This trip to Marineford yielded far more rewards than expected.
Whitebeard is dead.
Hancock stood behind Uchiha Itsu, gazing in the direction Blackbeard had left.
"The body was also taken away."
Should I chase after them?
"Need not."
Uchiha Itsu raised his head.
That person will come out on their own.
Perona glanced at Marco in the deep pit.
What about Marco?
"Keep it for now."
Uchiha Itsu did not elaborate further.
Just then, a violent aura erupted from the direction of the Execution Platform.
boom!
The Space Freeze was forcibly torn open.
Frost fragments scattered in all directions.
Garp rushed out from inside.
