As Atmos spoke, he rolled up his clothes, revealing a gruesome slash wound that had already stopped bleeding.
"That was his final blow. If he hadn't held back, I probably wouldn't be back."
" My Pops always taught us that we must keep our promises, which is why I dared to bring him back to see Ace!"
The scene fell into a deathly silence.
Now Atmos has no shame left, even after repeatedly explaining himself.
Continuing to dwell on it is clearly pointless.
However, he defeated a squad leader with three sword strikes.
Such a record is simply too astonishing!
Teach, who had originally planned to intercept and kill Bai Yu, suddenly lost all his courage, as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.
As Bai Yu's warship drew ever closer, Teach clenched his fists and muttered resentfully through gritted teeth.
"Yes, it must be the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit that allowed him to defeat Atmos."
"This is mine, and I'm going to take it back."
" Admiral Bai Yu, this is my Pops, and these are Captain Marco..."
Atmos quickly stepped in to defuse the situation.
"That young man over there is Fire Fist Ace, the one you're looking for. I hope you finish what you have to say and leave quickly!"
Bringing Bai Yu and his group along was a matter of commitment and trustworthiness.
However, considering Bai Yu's purpose for coming here, and his bloodthirsty and warlike nature, she hesitated.
Atmos was genuinely worried that something might go wrong.
If this guy had a knife, he could have just slashed Whitebeard.
This might really cause them a lot of trouble!
" Atmos, you're saying this guy came here to see Fire Fist Ace, not to see Pops?"
Marco froze, an absurd thought flashing through his mind.
However, at this critical juncture, Marco dared not voice any speculation.
She just stared intently at Bai Yu.
In an instant, all eyes present fell on the warship.
Facing this group of legendary pirates.
Yamakaji, Gion, and others were all severely tense in their nerves and muscles.
In particular, sitting upright on the deck, he was like a mountain.
Whitebeard that exudes an inexplicable sense of oppression at all times.
That feeling was like being unable to breathe at any moment, giving one the urge to suffocate.
At that moment, they truly regretted following along into such a dangerous place and wished they could sprout wings and escape.
But all these thoughts are futile at this critical juncture.
Now, both Yamakaji and Gion are eager to know how Bai Yu can escape unscathed.
Cut down Whitebeard and forcefully leave this hellish place.
I'm afraid that's just something I'll think about in my dreams.
"Excuse me, members of the Whitebeard Pirates, I am Bai Yu, the newly appointed Fourth Admiral of the Navy. I am here to complete the Admiral mission assigned by the Five Elders. Only by completing this final Admiral mission can I secure my position."
Bai Yu smiled bloodthirstyly, leaped onto the deck of the Moby Dick, and looked up to meet the gaze of the Whitebeard.
"Therefore, I have no choice but to take the liberty of coming to this place."
"However, in order to complete the mission, I still have to ask, Ace, do you want to join the Shichibukai?"
Join the Shichibukai?
Those present were stunned.
Looking at the young man before me with a bloodthirsty smile on his face.
Now I have only one thought.
This is insane!
The navy even ventured into their territory and publicly invited the Pops's newly adopted son to become Shichibukai.
This isn't insane, what is it?
Seated upright in the chair, his Whitebeard, as thick as a mountain, was extremely gloomy, and endless anger gradually welled up on his face.
The next moment, he grabbed the Murakumogiri behind the chair with his backhand, and like a spiral, he suddenly drew his sword and slashed out.
"You brat, how dare you invite my son to become Shichibukai on my territory? You're practically asking for death!"
Boom!
With a single strike, the air currents in the entire space seemed to be torn apart.
That powerful and heavy blow gave people a feeling of being unable to resist it, and its sharp edge was fully revealed.
Faced with Whitebeard's sudden attack.
Everyone present turned their gazes and fixed them on Bai Yu.
They were eager to know what to do when facing the strongest of this era.
How will this Marine Admiral react?
"Haha, as expected, he couldn't hold back any longer. As expected of Whitebeard, his mere presence is enough to warrant a strike!"
Bai Yu laughed bloodthirstyly, and in that instant, he crushed the wine bottle in his hand.
The Demon Sword Murasame at his waist erupted with a dazzling crimson light, slashing forward with unparalleled force.
Bang!
The shockwave from the explosion resembled a hurricane rolling backwards.
The crackling and Haki arcs of electricity, bursting and swirling wildly, knocked out some of the weaker pirates and marines.
At this moment, the sea area, spanning tens of thousands of meters in radius, felt as if it were being stirred up by an invisible hand.
This directly stirred up a massive wave.
However, what shocked them even more was the strange phenomenon that appeared in the sky.
Originally, the sky was filled with a dark, heavy mass of leaden clouds.
At that moment, it felt as if it had been torn apart by an invisible blade.
"Look... look, the sky has cracked open..."
"No, it should be said that this sky was cleaved in two by the Conqueror's Haki of my Pops and this brat from the Navy."
The scene erupted into chaos.
Especially noteworthy is Bai Yu's ability to withstand Whitebeard's furious attack head-on without even taking a single step back.
My heart clenched, and my face was filled with disbelief.
Is this still the Marine Fourth Admiral, as they've hyped up?
"Move it! Take down this navy officer!"
Teach's expression changed, and he jumped up first.
In his eyes, Whitebeard's sudden attack was further fueled by Bai Yu's earlier outrageous invitation.
This is the perfect opportunity to use someone else to do the dirty work.
As long as Bai Yu dies, Teach believes he will definitely be able to obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit.
A jumble of thoughts flashed through Teach's mind, and with a swift movement, he appeared behind Bai Yu first.
Claws emerged from his sleeve, ready to deliver a vicious jab.
Boom!
A blazing beam of light shot out from the observation deck on the warship.
They moved so fast that they arrived behind Teach in the blink of an eye.
Feeling this sudden sense of crisis.
Teach's expression changed drastically, and he quickly turned around to Guard.
Bang!
The immense impact sent Teach like a cannonball, crashing headfirst into the ship's cabin dozens of meters away.
The heavy deck was also smashed to pieces.
Faced with this sudden sniping attack, everyone's expression changed drastically.
Izo, the captain of the Sixteenth Division, suddenly sprang into action and rushed towards the watchtower.
Both were gunmen, yet they were successfully sniped right under the other's nose.
This was a serious slap in his face.
If I can't take them down, it will be a disgrace to me as a squad leader.
