Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

boom!

Whitebeard slammed his fists hard into the air on either side of his body!

Click!

Centered on his fists, the air cracked like glass, and the cracks spread rapidly outwards!

The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit has been pushed to its limit!

"Oh no, retreat quickly!"

The expression on the face of the Warring States man in the distance changed drastically.

"Seaquake, Sky Collapse!"

Whitebeard roared and swung his fists upwards!

Rumble.

A complete upheaval!

The entire icy battlefield, with Whitebeard as the dividing line, was violently shaken by an indescribable and terrifying force that violently ripped up the ice and sea areas on the side closer to Ace and the others.

The massive glacier fractured, and seawater poured in, forming a terrifying trench hundreds of meters wide and bottomless, completely separating Whitebeard and most of the Marines from Ace, Marco, Jinbe, and most of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Meanwhile, warships in the outer waters were also severely impacted, tilting and swaying!

The obstacles have been cleared.

"Kura la la la!"

Whitebeard, leaning on his naginata, stood on this side of the trench, facing the surging tide of the navy alone, and laughed loudly, "Don't worry about me, my men!"

He did not turn around, but stood tall in front of everyone.

"Listen up, Whitebeard Pirates!"

Whitebeard shouted, "Now, as captain, I issue the final captain's order!"

"The last one?"

"Dad, don't say such unlucky things!"

"We don't want to hear it at all!"

"We're going back to the new world together!"

The pirates cried out in despair, trying to rush across the trench, but were blocked by the violent tremors and waves.

The white-bearded man's smile remained unchanged, but his voice carried an unyielding authority:

"You and I will part ways here!"

"Everyone must survive!"

"Go back to the new world safely!"

"Dad! Are you going to stay here alone?!"

Ace struggled to rush back, but Marco and Vista held him back tightly.

"I am a remnant of the old era,"

The white-bearded man, with his back to his sons, made a fist-pumping gesture, two tear tracks flashing in his eyes before disappearing quickly.

"In this new era, there is no ship that can carry me!"

"Let's go, my men!!"

Snapped!

Whitebeard shattered the ice in front of him into pieces.

He smiled as he listened to his sons' shouts.

Don't look back, times are changing.

"Dad!"

A mournful cry echoed through the sky.

As the white-bearded man listened to his sons' shouts, his smile grew even gentler.

That sea is the source of everything.

His long and adventurous life flashed through his mind.

I remember the scene when I first set sail and found the treasure.

The captain asked him a question, "If you don't want the treasure, what do you want, Newgate?"

Newgate looked across the sea. "It's family."

What a long journey!

"Hahaha! Newgate, you bastard!"

Golden Lion took a bite of his cigar, finally getting annoyed, and looked at Somaz in front of him, "Do you really want to die?"

Somaz, controlling several enormous thorny serpents, said coldly, "You remnants of the old era should have been wiped out long ago. Today, none of you will escape!"

"escape?"

Shiki's eyes flashed with malice, "I'm the Golden Lion!"

He brandished his twin swords, unleashing the full power of his Float-Float Fruit ability!

Not only the ice beneath his feet, but also the surrounding seawater, the shattered wreckage of warships, and even several intact naval warships further away, began to shake violently and slowly detached from the sea surface and rose into the sky.

"It's your navy that should be fleeing!"

And almost at the same time.

"You can't escape."

Akainu's body was covered in scorching magma, which dripped onto the ice surface with a hissing sound and emitted thick smoke.

Seemingly anticipating what would happen to Whitebeard, he had somehow already positioned himself in front of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"The Whitebeard Pirates want to run away as soon as they rescue Fire Fist Ace, even at the cost of abandoning their captain. Is this what they call the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Akainu coldly stared at the pirates in front of him.

"Let this pirate crew be executed here by my justice! I think it's only natural that they have such a half-baked father and a bunch of cowardly subordinates who abandoned their captain!"

The Whitebeard Pirates were furious.

"Mr. Ace, I'll hold him off! You all get out of here!"

Without hesitation, Jinbe stepped forward and stood between Akainu and Ace, assuming the starting stance of Fishman Karate.

"No, you go, I'll stay and stop him."

The flame in Ace's eyes reignited, a flame that was a mixture of reason and uncontrollable rage.

He knew very well that someone had to cover the rear, otherwise everyone would be held back by Akainu and then overwhelmed by the catching-up Marines.

As a naturalist, he is the most suitable.

"You guys get out of here!" Ace burst into flames again and charged toward Akainu.

"Ace, don't be impulsive!" Marco urged.

"Hurry up and go!"

Ace roared without turning his head, then charged towards Akainu.

"A massive fireball!"

"Mirror Flame!"

The giant magma fist collided violently with the wall of flames!

boom!

The stalemate lasted for less than two seconds.

laugh!

The flames released by Ace were quickly suppressed by Akainu's even hotter magma. Ace groaned and was slammed away by the aftershock of the magma fist, crashing heavily onto the ice. The flames on his chest went out, revealing a large area of ​​severe burns.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Ace exhaled several puffs of black smoke with sparks, struggling to get up.

Akainu approached step by step, "Let alone the strongest Logia type, Portgas D. Ace."

He looked down at Ace and said, "You are just fire, while I am magma that can burn even flames to ashes!"

In the face of absolute justice, your very existence is a sin that must be erased.

Farewell, bloodline of the Pirate King.

The magma fist crashed down!

"Ace!"

Jinbe tried to come to the rescue, but was forced back by a magma canine tooth that Akainu casually swung out with his other hand!

"Sakazuki!"

A piercing scream suddenly came from high above.

It's Kizaru's voice!

Akainu paused slightly.

It is extremely rare for Kizaru to call out his own name.

When Akainu's Observation Haki reacted, a terrifyingly huge figure appeared behind him, its breath sending chills down Akainu's spine.

"What do you want to do to Ace?" Luffy said coldly.

"?!"

Akainu's pupils contracted sharply, forcibly stopping his attack on Ace. He twisted his waist violently, and his right fist, covered in thick Armament Haki and scorching magma, slammed backward at top speed.

"Ming dog!!"
