The silver impact transformed into a streak of aurora, grand in scale like a dazzling galaxy, soaring across the sea.
The ultra-high voltage electricity pierced through the atmosphere, erupting in a large expanse of dazzling sparks and airwaves, with deafening thunder.
A bizarre dimensional void appeared, and suddenly, turbulent waves rose from the nearshore sea, as a fierce gale swept across the heavens and earth!
Such a shocking and astonishing scene immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"That... what is that?!"
"This kind of attack, can a human really do it?!"
Crocodile's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
He recalled that just over a month ago, that brat was still being crushed by him, yet managed to defeat him with that strange belief.
But now...!
"Is this the power that transcends the sea?!"
Hawkeye stared intently at the scene, which resembled a natural disaster, his fighting spirit continuously rising.
In his eyes, Luffy's figure had already become a guiding beacon, and he was... the challenger!
...At Marineford,
Akainu, with a gloomy expression, blasted Whitebeard away, the scorching magma almost burning Whitebeard's entire body.
Lacking Haki, he was utterly unable to resist the powerful destructive force of the Magma-Magma Fruit with just his mortal body.
Whitebeard gasped heavily, his body now bearing several blood holes that pierced through his chest... Magma flowed down his body with the blood, and a faint frost condensed all over Whitebeard.
At the same time, Akainu suddenly looked up, a strange red glow in his eyes, revealing a ferocious smile, "Have you become weak?!"
Akainu instantly abandoned Whitebeard, transforming into a crimson blur of light that swooped down from the frozen earth. The high temperature he emitted along his path rapidly melted the surrounding ice, releasing a large amount of steam.
Whitebeard was startled, then suddenly realized... Akainu's target was—Luffy!
"—You dare!!"
Whitebeard's eyes widened in fury. That was his foolish son's brother, his Whitebeard's benefactor.
Whitebeard angrily stood up, just about to give chase, but unexpectedly, a bone-chilling coldness radiated from his feet.
Everything before him suddenly turned into a vast expanse of white.
Dazzlingly beautiful ice crystals continuously spiraled upwards on his feet, freezing Whitebeard into an ice sculpture!
Aokiji knelt on one knee, blood beads from his arm constantly dripping onto the ice..."Dragon's son, the world's evil bloodline, die for me!"
Akainu's right hand transformed into magma, carrying an aura of destruction.
"—Is that so?!"
Luffy smiled faintly, as if it wasn't he who was facing death.
'System, transfer the Life Essence to... Whitebeard!'
[Ding, transferring...]
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
Black and red lightning suddenly erupted from the ice block, twisting and intertwining, blurring the surrounding void.
Crack, bang!
Visible cracks covered the ice block, then shattered simultaneously.
That figure transformed into an afterimage, charging towards Akainu.
Watching this scene, Aokiji's eyes were wide, his face filled with disbelief.
"That aura?!"
Golden hair fluttering, Whitebeard's eyes burst forth with dark red light. In his rage, his aura was as vast as Shura descending.
An off-white halo mixed with black and red lightning emerged on his fist, and he slammed it into Akainu's head.
Boom!!
It was as if a missile had exploded on the spot; the ground cracked like a spiderweb, and violent airwaves shot into the sky.
Akainu's figure fell into the crack, disappearing from view!
"—Gurararara, though I don't know what's going on, this feeling is truly... incredible!"
His body was tall and mighty, his golden long hair like an emperor's crown.
Violent airwaves spread, Whitebeard surrounded by black and red lightning, like a god or demon.
As his laughter rang out,
All the land, jungles, vegetation, and trees within a thousand-meter radius were directly ripped up. The land's framework seemed unable to withstand this terrifying pressure any longer, suddenly collapsing several meters downwards!
Streaks of black and red lightning shot into the sky, densely occupying the entire firmament, like a living hell.
"Whitebeard, he...? !"
Sengoku's eyes were wide, he couldn't believe, nor did he want to believe, the scene before him.
"That's right, though I don't know why, Newgate has indeed become younger, which means...!"
Garp also looked at that "invincible" figure with a solemn expression.
Garp didn't finish his sentence, but as a person from that era, Sengoku knew very well how strong Whitebeard was at his peak!
"Hey, hey, old man Whitebeard, I'm still here!" Luffy lay flat on the ground, grimacing.
Damn it, he was almost solo-killed by his own side!
"Gurarara, my apologies. I'll send you away now!"
Whitebeard grabbed Luffy's body, his arm muscles beginning to constantly writhe.
"Hey, hey, old man, aren't you coming with me?!" Luffy was very confused.
"Gurarara, you underestimate the Marine too much!"
Whitebeard suddenly used force to throw Luffy towards the Moby Dick, shouting, "—Marco!!"
—Whoosh!
Accompanied by circle after circle of airwaves, Luffy flew out like a missile.
At the same time, Marco stomped on the deck, then pushed off, his hands transforming into blue fiery wings, taking to the air and flying towards Marineford.
His feet transformed into talons, grabbing the already unconscious Luffy, and heading towards the Moby Dick.
However, a golden light suddenly rose into the sky.
Kizaru pinched his fingers in an orchid gesture.
"I can't just let you leave like that!"
Countless light particles rained down like a curtain.
"—Damn it, Luffy can't take any more injuries!" In an instant, Marco was in a dilemma.
Just then, a submarine surfaced, and a man wearing a polka-dotted hat suddenly poked his head out, "Quick, throw Straw Hat over here."
Marco nodded helplessly, threw Luffy down, and with blue flames igniting, charged towards the endless light particles.
"Bepo, set sail!"
Law caught Luffy, and the submarine began to submerge, disappearing into the sea.
"—Jinbe, follow them! Straw Hat Luffy absolutely cannot be harmed!"
Marco, panting, faced Kizaru and shouted.
Jinbe didn't hesitate either, plunging into the water and quickly following the submarine.
"This is really troublesome, I didn't expect them to run away... How am I going to explain this to Fleet Admiral Sengoku??"
Countless golden photons converged in the sky to form a tall human figure.
Kizaru pulled with both hands, and the ama no murakumo sword was dragged out.
However, "Stay away from my son, brat!!"
A silver-white blade light fiercely slashed towards Kizaru, and space shattered under the immense pressure!
"—Oh??"
Kizaru broke out in a cold sweat, slashed with his sword, and retreated rapidly, transforming into countless light particles, dispersing on the spot.
—Crack—
Space was twisted and torn by that single slash!
Photons converged into a human figure in the high sky.
"That was truly terrifying! I almost died!" Kizaru looked fearful!
"Your opponent... is only me!"
The overwhelming aura released by Whitebeard entirely transformed into black and red lightning, shaking all of Marineford.
Vast Buddha light shone brightly, and Sengoku's physique rapidly grew, transforming into a giant golden War Buddha.
"Whitebeard, this is where you will be annihilated!"
Golden shockwaves illuminated half the sky.
Countless Haoshoku lightning bolts furiously converged onto the bisento in Whitebeard's hand.
"Get out of my way!!"
He raised that Supreme Grade Great Grade Sword with both hands and slashed through the air!
[Murakumogiri]
A nearly ten-meter blood-red blade light slashed towards the Great Buddha.
—Crack—
The Great Buddha's golden body was instantly broken, and a bloodstain piercing through Sengoku's body appeared.
Sengoku was sent flying several thousand meters by the blade light, crashing heavily into a mountain peak.
"—Gurarara, Sengoku, you've become too weak!"
Whitebeard leaned on his sword, laughing heartily.
Hawkeye's gaze trembled, his entire body shaking.
"Is this... the the strongest man in the world?!"
