Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

"The Meteor Fruit, Roger... you seemed to have said back then that it only exists in legends and could never appear in reality."

"You're wrong this time. This young man possesses such abilities, and he even personally sent your son to the execution platform..."

"It's not that I don't want to help you, but you've hidden it too well. Now I'm old and really can't do anything about it."

The speaker was none other than Rayleigh, the King of the Underworld!

At this moment, he watched the battle unfold, drinking his wine with a complex expression on his face.

In Marineford, on the battlefield, the people here can more deeply feel the oppressive feeling of a meteorite rapidly approaching!

Everyone stared in horror at the approaching meteorite, their mouths agape in disbelief!

The next moment, someone shouted "Run!" and everyone scattered like birds and beasts, each feeling they weren't far enough from the center, frantically fleeing in all directions.

Are you kidding me? This is a meteorite, and a huge one at that. The force of its impact is far greater than that of the island at the beginning!

If it hits the ground, half of the Marine Headquarters will probably be destroyed, which would be even more dramatic than Whitebeard's earthquake!

"It matches up perfectly! The young man Smoker met in the East Blue was indeed him!"

On the execution platform, Sengoku, who witnessed everything, frowned deeply, harboring a bad feeling.

Today, the Whitebeard Pirates are mostly a thing of the past; it's impossible to let them leave.

However, Sengoku felt no relief at all; on the contrary, he felt even more depressed because he was witnessing the rise of an extremely young pirate giant who would become even more powerful in the future!

This is absolutely terrible news for the Navy...

However, before he could think about it further, the unusual movement under his feet drew his attention.

As Zhan Guo looked down, he immediately saw a hand gripping the edge of the execution platform. The next moment, a figure was thrown up and landed on the platform.

It was Luffy who successfully climbed onto the execution platform. Seeing Ace so close at hand, he was incredibly excited, took out the key to the shackles, and was about to rush to his rescue!

"Straw Hat Kid, you've gone too far! Even if you're Garp's grandson, I won't show you any mercy today!"

Sengoku was somewhat angry. He glanced at Garp below and knew that Garp was reluctant to do it. He was preparing to take action himself and drive Luffy away!

Immediately afterwards, Sengoku's body began to grow rapidly. He activated his Devil Fruit ability, transforming into a giant golden Buddha, and swung his fists towards Luffy!

Unsurprisingly, this is another old geezer who only talks a good game and plays the formalism game. He talks a tough game, but he's incredibly lenient when it comes to actually doing things!

He possesses the power to wipe out the entire Blackbeard Pirates with a single blow, but when he hits Luffy, it only causes his rubber to deflate.

This terrible acting is only slightly better than Garp's...

As expected, just like before, as the shackles fell, a flame shot into the sky, and Ace was successfully rescued!

"Pillar of Fire!"

Ace pulled Luffy into the air, where a pillar of fire struck down, clearing out the Marine grunts below the execution platform and creating a foothold for the two brothers.

The plan to rescue Ace was a success!

On the battlefield, it was only now that Akainu had finally come to his senses.

Whitebeard's enraged attack, the Five Elements Heavy Hammer, struck the face of the nine-man group. His body was twisted and deformed by the power of the Broken Void, successfully inflicting internal injuries on him.

Then, before he could even recover, he was hit by Luo Feng's island parachute attack. It can be said that Akainu was beaten quite badly by these successive attacks.

However, the strongest general is no joke. Not only is its attack power incredible, but it is also incredibly tanky. In no time, it recovered.

Watching the ongoing battle between Luo Feng and Whitebeard, Akainu snorted coldly and chose to observe without intervening.

The pressure of fighting Whitebeard was already immense, and now another group of powerful figures had emerged and taken the initiative to attack him. Although they were also pirates he utterly despised, he was still happy to see this kind of infighting among pirates.

"Summoning meteorites... A brat actually possesses this ability. After we take care of that old man, you'll be next!"

"What Four Emperors, what new era? Smash them all! On this sea, the Navy is enough!"

"We absolutely cannot let you pirates leave Marineford alive!"

Akainu clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with ferocity, staring at the meteorite in the sky, then at Luo Feng, making up his mind! Nine.

Chapter 185 Cloudfall - Sky Tremor

Akainu, a typical hawkish Marine, has set his sights not only on Whitebeard but also on the newly emerged Luo Feng crew.

We must nip this powerful new pirate group in the bud!

But at that moment, Akainu activated his Observation Haki and sensed the unusual movement coming from the execution platform.

"One or two of them, mere pirates, how dare they be so arrogant!"

"Since you refuse to stay obediently on the execution platform, then I will execute you myself!"

Clearly, Akainu discovered Ace, who had escaped from the execution platform in the chaos. Now that Luo Feng and the others were holding off Whitebeard, he immediately shifted his focus to Ace and personally gave chase!

At the center of the battlefield, watching the massive meteorite about to fall completely, Whitebeard's mood was initially somewhat somber.

But now, seeing Ace successfully rescued, "050" was in high spirits and shouted, "Men, cover Ace and his brothers, prepare to retreat!"

"Yes, Father!"

"Did Ace's brother make this? He's really capable!"

"Great! We've finally rescued Ace!"

"Everyone, prepare to retreat! Leave Marineford and return to the sea, where our territory lies!"

"The Marines can't do anything to the Whitebeard Pirates! Charge!"

The captains, who were still in shock from the meteorite crash, were jolted back to their senses by Whitebeard's shout and realized that Ace had been successfully rescued!

This delighted everyone, who rushed to help Ace and Luffy as they fought their way back.

"Gurgle, a meteorite? What a terrifying brat that keeps pushing the boundaries of my understanding!"

Meanwhile, Whitebeard had no intention of leaving; he wanted to cover the rear for his sons!

Looking at the massive, oppressive meteorite in the sky, Whitebeard's expression turned serious. He placed the Murakumogiri aside and stretched out his hands to reach into the void...

The void in his hands seemed to have a physical form, like a transparent piece of cloth, with the white-bearded mangled marks on it!

Immediately afterward, as Whitebeard completely tore the void apart, the sea around Marine Headquarters, which had been calm, boiled over once more. Giant waves hundreds of feet high surged into the sky, like a tsunami amplified countless times, creating a terrifying spectacle!

The waves surged upwards against the sky, carrying endless seawater with terrifying force, crashing down on the falling meteorite!

At the same time, Luo Feng and Crocodile also made their move!

Facing a royal-level figure, they didn't want to give him a chance to breathe, and their attacks were as dense as raindrops, frantically sweeping towards Whitebeard!

"Erosion of Reincarnation!"

Crocodile looked serious, exhaled the smoke from the cigar in his mouth, squatted down, and pressed his hand against the ground. The hard stone ground, which was already sandy, became even drier!

Finally, the ground was no longer just sand; it began to crack, and countless fissures spread from his palms, then rapidly extended toward where Whitebeard was standing!

Crocodile's signature move, Erosion Reincarnation, is accompanied by cracking and terrifying collapsing force. At this moment, it is used in conjunction with the meteor in the sky!

This is going to leave Whitebeard nowhere to hide, neither in the sky nor on the ground!

As for Luo Feng, he floated into the air the moment the Erosion Reincarnation was unleashed.

"You little crocodile brat, you're so annoying!"

Whitebeard, who had just unleashed a Sea Tremor attack and hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath, was now entangled in the cracks caused by the Erosion Cycle, and the cracks were about to spread to his feet.

'boom! '

Whitebeard raised one foot and stomped it heavily on the ground, causing an earthquake. The ground cracked as well, and an even greater destructive force emerged, spreading in the opposite direction from where the crocodile's attack had come!

Click...

Two completely different, yet equally terrifying forces collided on the ground, producing a series of teeth-grinding cracking sounds as they violently clashed.

However, Crocodile's attack was clearly not as powerful as Whitebeard's single strike. After lasting only a few seconds, the power that eroded the Rinnegan was completely disintegrated, while the power of the earthquake remained, continuing to surge towards him!

At this moment, the giant waves stirred up by the earthquake surged into the sky, sweeping over the meteorites in the air and completely engulfing them!

'Sizzle...'

Upon first contact, a massive amount of water vapor appeared instantly, and the terrifyingly high temperature carried by the meteorite continuously evaporated the towering seawater!

The area directly above Marineford was instantly covered in steam, as if a huge cloud of steam had appeared out of nowhere, shrouding the place in a misty haze.

The meteorite's temperature was terrifyingly high, evaporating countless seawater. Hissing sounds echoed continuously in the sky. The commotion was so great that it drew the attention of everyone on the battlefield, and no one could concentrate on their own battle anymore.

However… no matter what, the temperature carried by a meteorite has its limits, and the amount of seawater stirred up was too great, too enormous. Eventually, the temperature on the meteorite gradually decreased due to the shockwave…

The meteorite, no longer red, gradually returned to its dark black appearance, and the fiery tail it left behind completely disappeared, extinguished by the seawater!

Of course, this was the best Whitebeard could do with his Sea Tremor technique.

Although the high temperature carried by the meteorite was successfully extinguished, the force of the seawater also slowed down the meteorite's descent.

But this was the limit of the earthquake. A large amount of the stirred-up seawater was evaporated by the high temperature, and the resistance contained in the remaining seawater was also difficult to stop the falling meteorite!

"Murakumo - Skyquake!"

Seeing the massive meteorite about to hit his face, Whitebeard roared, raised the Murakumogiri with both hands, and slashed it fiercely at the sky!

The incredibly tough Supreme Grade Blade, imbued with the ability to create air tremors, unleashed a terrifying power of 0.9 in an instant, colliding violently with the massive meteorite in mid-air!

With a deafening roar, Murakumo Kirito blocked the meteorite, and the two forces clashed violently as if they were locked in a contest of strength!

'You brats, let this old man teach you a lesson!'

In that instant, Whitebeard seemed to return to his peak, brimming with heroic spirit. Armament Haki covered his suddenly bulging arms, then spread along his arms until finally, completely dyeing Murakumogiri black!

With his imposing white beard, he seemed like a completely different person. In front of everyone, he did not flinch and single-handedly withstood the massive meteorite that Luo Feng had brought down!

But just then, a cold laugh rang out: "Newgate, you're quite good at countering every move, but how about this? Can you hold on?"

Chapter 186 Enduring a Meteorite: The Limits of the Elderly Whitebeard

The scene on the battlefield was visually stunning. Whitebeard, alone with his sword, withstood a meteorite falling from the sky, freezing it in mid-air and preventing it from falling!

The forces of both sides are constantly clashing, and it remains to be seen who will give way first.

It is foreseeable that if Whitebeard is unable to withstand the attack, the meteorite will still fall. Although its power will be largely reduced, it will still be enough to cause him significant pain!

If the meteorite loses its momentum, it will simply explode in mid-air...

But just then, Luo Feng's cold laughter rang out. He knew what Whitebeard was up to. As the emperor of the sea, he had experienced countless battles and his battle IQ was undoubtedly the highest.

First, a massive amount of seawater was used to completely extinguish the temperature of the meteorite, and then the counterforce of the seawater was used to offset most of the impact force of the meteorite's fall.
