Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 398 The First Surprise Attacker

The thick cigar was rapidly shortening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The dark red cigarette butt became hot and bright.

Akainu's face appeared particularly gloomy as it was obscured by the brim of his navy cap.

"Pirates."

The surface of its body gradually began to writhe, and then turned into dark red magma that flowed slowly.

His figure suddenly disappeared from his seat, and when he reappeared, he was already high in the sky above the battlefield.

His right arm, raised high, billowed smoke like a volcano.

"Big fire-breathing!"

The scorching lava formed a giant lava fist, which shot out from the arm like a volcanic eruption, accompanied by billowing smoke and scorching steam.

Its terrifying power, like a natural disaster, can be sensed with just a glance; this is the power of a general capable of altering the natural environment!
"Sakazuki, you little brat!"

The white-bearded man laughed, his crescent-shaped white whiskers trembling.

He crouched down slightly again, and a blinding white light suddenly condensed on his right fist.

"Who gave you permission to set off fireworks on my ship!"

Whitebeard's eyes were sharp, almost glowing, and he suddenly threw a punch the moment the giant lava fist roared down.

"boom!"

It was as if folds appeared in the invisible air, and the Lava Fist was immediately shattered into pieces.

They transformed into scorching hot volcanic bombs, which was a subsequent change from the 'Great Eruption'.

Each volcanic bomb has the power to easily destroy a super-large warship.

But Whitebeard's combat experience was so profound that the continuous shockwaves were like endless waves.

And the force was controlled perfectly; the volcanic bombs trembled for a moment, and then strangely bounced back.

From a distance, it looked as if the white-bearded man had thrown a punch, causing a spectacular display of fireworks to erupt across the entire sky above Marineford.

Sengoku stared in astonishment as countless volcanic bombs, filling the entire sky, hurtled toward the Marine Headquarters.

He couldn't help but grit his teeth: "Sakazuki! Whitebeard!"

He reached out and grabbed his coat, though as the commander-in-chief, it was inappropriate for him to appear so early.

But faced with the safety of Marineford, they couldn't care less about anything else.

"Eight-foot beautiful magatama!"

Countless yellow flashes burst forth from in front of Kizaru, accurately hitting each of the volcanic bombs.

Amidst a cacophony of explosions, the volcanic bomb shattered into smaller fragments, transforming into a fiery rain that engulfed Marineford.

"Ice Cube - Tyrannosaurus Rex Beak"

Aokiji's cold voice rang out from another direction.

The enormous ice bird, radiating endless cold, burst forth from the mist, instantly cooling the fiery rain that passed by.

Once they solidified into small, solidified stones and lost their high temperature, these stone projectiles no longer posed a threat to the naval officers, who were all incredibly strong.

Sengoku, who had been gripping the railing tightly, breathed a sigh of relief. At least he hadn't made the fool of himself by punching Marineford and causing it to collapse.

Damn it—this is a live broadcast, can't they at least fight nicely? His gaze unconsciously drifted to the side, where a dejected old man was sitting. Unfortunately, no matter what, Sengoku couldn't bring himself to ask Garp to participate in the battle.

Forget it
He looked at the battlefield again and saw Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji standing side by side. The three admirals, the Navy's top combat force, finally realized something and began to take it seriously.

"Lulalalalala!"

Whitebeard also became excited, raising his naginata and grinning:

"That's more like it! I'm white-bearded!!!"

A body over six meters tall leaped off the high ship, its eyes flashing red, and a dazzling white ball of light also condensed on the blade of the naginata, which was very similar to a Guan Dao.

Tiny, dark red lightning bolts danced across the blade. Facing the three admirals of the Navy, Whitebeard surprisingly chose not to back down and launched the first attack!

This scene even silenced the entire battlefield for a moment. Pirates and marines stared blankly as Whitebeard, like a god, wielded his naginata and descended from the sky, directly slashing at the three admirals.

The moment the naginata slashed horizontally, the expressions of the three people changed slightly.

Even though they didn't get along, their long-standing collaboration and the tacit understanding among strong individuals led the three of them to raise their arms together.

A surge of Armament Haki gathered on his arm; in the face of such a slash, only Armament Haki could save him!
The high-level flow of Armament Haki met with a powerful slash that could rival Roger's ultimate move, "Divine Evasion."

The entire battlefield seemed to fall silent for a moment.

Then, a blinding light exploded, and the entire sky seemed to darken as the intense impact of the clash of domineering forces spread unchecked.

Even the sky seemed to be shaken by this power, and the white clouds that had just slowly gathered were once again scattered.

The surging, violent impact blew everything around them away. Even lieutenant generals and captains were horrified, raising their arms to shield themselves and their feet carving deep furrows in the ground before being pushed far away.

Gee.
Li Xia clicked his tongue. So this is the fourth tier? This power is truly terrifying!
The power to alter the surrounding natural environment is something that a third-tier Devil Fruit user absolutely cannot achieve, not even if they were given the same Devil Fruit.

Fourth tier.
It's almost here!
As the aftershocks of the clash gradually subsided, the three generals maintained their poses while releasing 'flowing armor haki,' exchanging a glance without making a sound.

"No, Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability is troublesome."

"Hmm, even the Haki can vibrate, so it shouldn't vibrate directly, but rather use the principle of waves to first shake the space and then use the ripples in the space to vibrate the Haki."

"There's no other way but to wear him down. Hopefully, the information provided by CP is true and that Whitebeard's body can't hold on for much longer."

After a quick exchange of ideas, Kizaru and Aokiji leaped to either side simultaneously.

This arduous task was then entrusted to Sakazuki.

Akainu's eyes twitched twice, and he gritted his teeth inwardly, but without any hesitation, he gathered his strength and charged towards Whitebeard.

All pirates deserve to die!
This is my absolute justice!

The sight of Whitebeard forcing the three admirals to join forces to resist shocked everyone. After a brief moment of stunned silence, all the pirates raised their weapons and shouted wildly.

Their morale, which had been somewhat dampened by the fierce fighting, surged once again. With bloodshot eyes, they charged towards the navy in front of them without regard for anything else.

Amidst the chaos of the battlefield, Li Xia suddenly raised his head and looked up at the distant sky.

"what!!!!!"

The screams were loud and clear, coming from afar and growing louder as they approached.

The first battlefield variable he had been waiting for had finally arrived!
