Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 438 The Destruction of the Whitebeard Pirates!

Besides flipping the island, he forcibly opened a "survival path" to the sea for his "sons" who were struggling in the battle.

Whitebeard's attention also didn't miss his son, Blackbeard Teach, who was still trapped on the execution platform!

at the moment.

It's no longer possible to forcefully conquer this Sky Garden using the Whitebeard Pirates' large force.

But Hundredbeard still wants to rescue Blackbeard Teach!

Rescuing Blackbeard Teach was the Whitebeard Pirates' primary objective for this mission!

With this in mind, Whitebeard steadied himself, clenched his right fist again, and channeled the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit into his fist, swinging it with all his might towards the execution platform.

Boom! Crack!

The strange, crisp cracking sound rang out again.

The air and the earth of the Sky Garden shattered once again.

The ground in front of the white-bearded man instantly cracked and shattered, with exaggerated ravines rapidly spreading and expanding towards the execution platform.

He seemed to be trying to use this method to help Blackbeard Teach forcibly break free of his restraints.

However··-

"Haven't you had enough of fooling around yet?"

Storm's eyes narrowed slightly, and his nine-star Conqueror's Haki swept out like a storm, directly confronting the terrifying shockwave that was capable of tearing apart islands and overturning the sea.

Rumble-

The impact forces represented by Conqueror's Haki and Tremor-Tremor Fruit collided violently in mid-air, and the resulting roar almost drowned out all other noises around them.

But upon closer inspection, one will find that...

Compared to Storm's Conqueror's Haki, Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit was still too "weak".

It's like soft ice and snow meeting scorching lava.

Faced with the impact of Storm's [Conqueror's Haki], the terrifying shockwave that was capable of shattering everything was forcibly dissipated until it completely disappeared into the air.

Storm stood on the sloping ground, but his figure did not sway at all; he remained as steady as a rock.

He strode towards the white-bearded man, continuously unleashing his Conqueror's Haki along the way.

The white-bearded man opposite him was also constantly throwing out his fists, unleashing a series of shockwaves, trying to completely shatter all the enemies in front of him.

But Strom's [Conqueror's Haki] was like a vast, all-encompassing net, with black and red arcs of electricity constantly crisscrossing the air in the Sky Garden, enveloping Whitebeard and the shockwave he released, as if capturing prey.

Under the constant pressure of the nine-star Conqueror's Haki, the range of influence of Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit became smaller and smaller.

Even Hundredbeard released his Conqueror's Haki, attempting to counteract the opponent's Conqueror's Haki through a clash of their own.

However, his physical condition was too weak, and he could not maintain the [Conqueror's Haki] for long.

As Storm drew closer and closer.

Hundred Beard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit power was almost forcibly confined to a radius of several meters around him, making it impossible for it to spread outwards even a fraction of an inch.

Whitebeard is nearly six meters tall, and his arm span is not much different.

The range of a few meters is roughly the distance from which the white-bearded man throws a punch.

In other words.

Storm used his Conqueror's Haki to almost completely confine the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to Whitebeard's side, preventing it from leaking out at all.

If it were a white beard in his prime.

Storm might not be able to do that.

But now, what about this old, ailing, and seriously injured white-bearded man?

Storm completely disregarded it.

"Look at yourself now, white beard."

Storm strolled leisurely to the white-bearded man.

"It's like a mother who worries that her children aren't eating or dressing well, so she feeds them and dresses them step by step."

The white-bearded man's chest heaved violently, and his punching motion gradually slowed down.

He had never seen such powerful Conqueror's Haki before.

Not to mention forcibly suppressing the opponent's Devil Fruit ability.

Moreover, it seems to possess some ability to distinguish between friend and foe.

Just now, when Haku released his Conqueror's Haki, those brats from the Storm Pirates were also within the range of his Conqueror's Haki.

But those little devils were completely unaffected!

In the entire Sky Garden, the only one whose [Conqueror's Haki] was suppressed was Whitebeard!

What a terrifyingly strong new-age brat...

Whitebeard knew he couldn't afford to be distracted by talking; he had to focus all his energy on the battle.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which had almost become his instinct, could no longer be of any help to him—"

Then let's let our fists and our domineering spirit speak for themselves!

Whitebeard slightly turned his body, his left arm swung in front of him, his left fist almost tucked into his right shoulder, and after a moment of gathering power, he swung it forward heavily, the [Conqueror's Haki] condensed on his fist bursting forth.

Boom! The two streams of [Conqueror's Haki] collided violently.

The clouds high above the Sky Garden were torn to shreds and lost their shape.

Under Whitebeard's full-force attack, the cage-like Conqueror's Haki released by Storm was finally broken.

But it was merely broken.

The violent force of the punches swept over Storm's body, but he felt as if a gentle breeze was blowing across his face.

"Today, not only you, but the Whitebeard Pirates will also become history."

Storm took another step forward, moving closer to the white-bearded man like an arrow released from a bow.

"The remnants of the old era will eventually be swept into the dustbin of history by the storms of the new era!"

As if influenced by Storm's fighting spirit,

The members of the Dawn Pirates, who had been holding back the whole time, finally showed some of their true abilities.

Edward Teach transformed into lightning, decisively abandoning the phoenix Marco in front of him, and appeared beside the Golden Lion II as if by teleportation.

He raised his hands and summoned endless lightning, the silvery-white lightning turning the outer sea of the Sky Courtyard white.

"Thousands of thunders!"

Rumble!!!

The clouds in the sky seemed to have been torn open, and tens of thousands of incandescent lightning bolts fell from the sky like a torrential downpour, relentlessly bombarding everything below.

Hundredbeard flipped the island and overturned the sea, sending most of the Whitebeard Pirates into the ocean.

He had thought this would be a "path to survival".

But in reality, in Edward Teach's eyes when he got serious, this was a "road to hell" leading to the underworld!

Under the frenzied sweep of "Wan Lei".

Everything on the high seas of the New World was subjected to a frenzied attack—living people, corpses, and pirate ships alike.

At this moment, they all became targets of lightning strikes.

The endless seawater became the best conductor of lightning at this moment, and the originally blue sea surface seemed to be covered with a layer of silvery-white lightning.

The seawater turned into a thunder pool!

Regarding "scene effects".

Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit is indeed outstanding.

However, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is no less powerful!

With very few exceptions (such as Caesar Clown's Gas Fruit).

The vast majority of Logia-type Devil Fruits possess incredibly powerful area-of-effect attacks.

Under Edward Teach's "Lightning Bolt," the Whitebeard Pirates members who had fallen into the sea didn't even have time to utter a sound before being struck by lightning and turned into charred remains.

After a "thousand thunderbolts" event.

The Whitebeard Pirates consist of 16 divisions and 43 affiliated pirate crews, totaling nearly 5 members.

The number of survivors is less than one in a thousand!

Those who survived Edward Teach's "thousand thunders".

He's either a division captain of the Whitebeard Pirates or the captain of some affiliated pirate crews.

Even those who survived by sheer luck were almost all wounded.

Edward Teach's eyes showed no pity, but he did not continue to attack.

Because a "partner" made a move after him.

Natsu's body was surrounded by raging flames, the intense heat distorting the surrounding air.

He gathered all his strength and unleashed the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit at the remaining members of the Whitebeard Pirates who had miraculously survived.

"Flame King's Purgatory!"

The overwhelming flames ignored all obstacles in their path, burning everything in their path with unbridled fury.

The pirates who had just survived the attack of "Ten Thousand Thunder" were attacked again by "Flame King Purgatory" and let out miserable screams.

"ah--"

"Dad—"

"Help!"

The attack speed of the [Flame-Flame Fruit] is not as fast as that of the [Rumble-Rumble Fruit].

However, the power of fire attacks is not much less than that of thunder!

First, they went through a round of "Ten Thousand Thunders", and then through a layer of "Flame King Purgatory".

Only three members of the Whitebeard Pirates are still alive in the Sky Garden.

Whitebeard.

Marco.

Joz.

The vast majority of the rest were never found.

A certain "little devil" managed to preserve his body intact thanks to Gecko Moria's timely protection, but he also lost his life early on.

The Whitebeard Pirates were almost completely wiped out.

Diamond Joz's eyes were bloodshot and his gaze was filled with rage. He wanted to seek revenge, or perhaps he could take Edward Weevil down with him.

But a blond figure took the initiative to approach.

Diamond Jozu, seeing the unfamiliar figure before him, decisively unleashed his power, abandoning Edward Weevil, who bore the title "Whitebeard III," and charged toward the enemy at incredible speed.

"Shining Collision!"

boom!

Bowie extended his right hand with a calm expression, easily blocking Diamond Joz's all-out charge as if catching a high fly ball; his arm didn't even tremble in the slightest.

Diamond Jozu was stunned; this was the first time he had encountered an enemy with such terrifying power.

Even Weevil, when he unleashed the power of the Mountain Child Fruit, was no match for this blond man in terms of strength.

but.

one way or another.

The defensive capabilities of the [Shining Fruit] are invincible!

Bowie stared indifferently at the massive diamond figure before him.

Isn't a "diamond" just a pretty inorganic stone?

His [Boom-Boom Fruit] has already touched the body of this giant!

Boom!

It's like a balloon bursting.

Diamond Jozu exploded on the spot, dying instantly without leaving a trace of his body, not even a drop of blood.

As for the Phoenix Marco?

The Phoenix Fruit's power is indeed troublesome.

But when it comes to "mechanisms".

The power mechanics of Paramecia-type Devil Fruits far surpass those of Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits!

When Marco saw that the Whitebeard Pirates were almost completely wiped out, and that Diamond Jozu was dead on the spot, he knew perfectly well that he could not continue fighting.

Running with my dad is the most important thing to do!

But before Marco could even take action,

A flamboyantly dressed, smiling "clown" approached the phoenix.

With just a casual touch, the magnificent phoenix was transformed into a small, blue-green bird doll the size of a palm in the clown's hand.

The clown quite happily gave the doll in his hand a name.

"The Angry Phoenix".

The Phoenix Fruit is indeed troublesome.

But when the clown unleashes the power of the [Childhood Fruit].

What can Marco do?

After the Phoenix was forcibly "offline" by the Joker.

The Whitebeard Pirates can be considered history now.

The last pirate in this pirate crew, and also its first pirate, is Whitebeard.
