From the Navy Admiral to the Gotei 13

As soon as he finished speaking, the Kusugano knife in Newgate's hand brought out an extremely strong aura of destruction, and transparent invisible energy instantly condensed on the tip of his knife. Unlike the energy halo that was condensed casually before, this time, it was obviously very heavy.

Just the presence of the blade tip caused the surrounding space to begin to shatter.

"It can be broken. With your strength as the strongest man, how could you not break this move? But hurry up." Diarmuid smiled and continued, "It won't be long before your sons can no longer withstand the pull of gravity..."

As he spoke these words, the ground beneath Diarmait’s feet broke free and carried him up into the air.

"This island cannot be kept. Even if you can break the Chibaku Tensei, the foundation of the island has been destroyed by me. It will soon sink, Whitebeard. ... At this time, will you choose to keep me, or choose to save your sons, or will you die with me regardless of everything? As you said, this sea loves to bury the brave... If I can die with you, it will not be in vain that I have come to this world!" Diarmait stood on the floating earth and rocks and asked Newgate loudly.

Whitebeard held the Kusugano knife in his hand, and the vibrating energy on the tip of the knife was still constantly condensing.

His gaze turned to Diarmait, who was gradually distancing himself from him.

After a long moment, Newgate burst into laughter and said, "Kulala, I underestimated you, Rodriguez. Diarmait, next time we meet, I won't be so good-tempered, you cunning brat!"

After hearing Newgate's response, Diarmait felt a little relieved. After all, although he spoke arrogantly, he was actually worried that Newgate would get carried away and choose to die with him.

However, it seems that Newgate's weakness is indeed his sons who are not very ambitious.

Just as he had chosen to protect his son twenty years later in Marineford, he now chose to protect these treasures he held most dear.

Having said this, Newgate no longer looked at Diarmait, and swung the sword in his hand towards the increasingly large Chibakuten Star in the sky.

The moment the powerful tremor left his hand, a smile appeared on Newgate's lips. He said softly, "Underneath his bravery, he's also incredibly cunning. No wonder he was brought up by that bastard Zhan Guo..."

From the very beginning, Diarmait showed his bravery and fought fiercely with Newgate, looking like he was ready to fight to the death.

But now think about it, these are just appearances, which he showed deliberately.

From the very beginning, that little devil was just using his bravery to buy time for his subordinates to evacuate.

At the same time, during this period, he also kept making small moves, destroying the foundation of the island and pulling some meteorites from the sky.

This was to force Whitebeard to make a choice at the critical moment and retreat calmly...

"The sea has always favored the brave, and the sea has always liked to bury the brave, but it just so happens that the sea appreciates little devils like you the most. ... Kulalalala." Newgate laughed again.

The next second, the sky and the earth lost their color, and a powerful shaking force collided with the Earth-shattering Star.

Then, gravity went out of control, tremors broke out, and as the sky exploded, Spring Queen Island also completely collapsed.

A large number of broken islands began to sink rapidly.

After blowing up the Earth-shattering Star, Newgate held the knife in one hand and looked at the devastated scene in the distance.

As a result, his sons broke free from the influence of the Chibaku Tensei and rushed to his side.

"Dad, the island is in danger, we should evacuate!" Joz said in a deep voice.

Marco quickly said, "Dad, nothing really happened to me anyway, so just forgive Barrett this time!" He was also afraid that his father would be stubborn.

"Barrett is nothing, just a stray dog, a madman, not worth mentioning." Newgate waved his hand first.

After hearing what their father said, Marco and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, a smile appeared on Newgate's lips. He looked at the sea that was encroaching from afar and said loudly, "But that cunning brat Diarmait thought he could trick me and retreat calmly. He underestimated me, Whitebeard!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Newgate threw Cong Yunqie high into the sky.

Then he suddenly took a step back, twisted his waist, raised one arm, hooked his fist towards his shoulder, and made a posture of accumulating power.

Then, before Marco and the others could speak, a strong vibration force gathered on Newgate's fist, which was far more powerful than the destructive aura condensed on the cloud just now.

This accumulation of energy took about three to five breaths. Marco and the others did not say a word, but watched the waves that were about to swallow up the island coming towards them.

When the wave was about to reach Newgate and others, Newgate's straight crescent-shaped white beard trembled.

The next second, he suddenly punched out with his fist, which had been accumulating power for a long time.

The invisible vibrating force seemed to tear the world apart.

Everything that stood in Newgate's way was shattered into nothingness.

The tsunami that was surging and about to swallow the island was dispersed by Newgate's punch.

The originally surging sea water collapsed directly. Not only that, the powerful shaking force, in just a short moment, carried a large amount of sea water and began to reverse direction, spitting out the ground that had been swallowed.

Then, the waves around the island fragment where Newgate was located continued to squeeze outwards, and before long, a huge tsunami was formed, sucking in a large amount of sea water, and radiating out towards the surrounding sea areas with the island fragment where he was located as the center.

". "Taste my wrath, Diarmait." Newgate chuckled and then raised his hand to grab the falling Cong Yunqie. Then he looked at Marco and others and said, "Within three hours, the sea water will not flood back. Is our ship okay?" "There should be no problem." Joz nodded.

"Let's go and get on board!" Newgate said with a wave of his hand.

At the same time, Diarmait, who had just caught up with Vice Admiral Jonathan's warship and landed on the deck, was looking back at the huge tsunami that was sweeping in like the end of the world, with a confused expression on his face.

So, in order to prevent the sea water from quickly swallowing and submerging the island, Whitebeard used his own strength to turn all the sea water around the island into a tsunami and splashed it out?

Is this something a human can do?

"That old guy is really angry. It seems you have angered him." Lieutenant General Jonathan stood on the deck, looking at the tsunami that was about to come and could sink the warship at any time, and said jokingly.

Sakaski and Gion were also standing on the deck at this time, looking at the huge tsunami that seemed to be destroying the world, without saying a word.

Diarmait smacked his lips and said, "He's known as the strongest man capable of destroying the world, and his reputation is truly well-deserved. ...Speaking of which, aren't you worried about the tsunami? A tsunami this big would make the warships look like ants. It could easily wipe us all out..."

"You provoked his anger, so of course you have to calm it down." Jonathan said with a smile.

"It can't be calmed down. I (Li Li Zhao) don't have that much strength right now." Diarmuid curled his lips.

After all, his previous weakness was not pretended.

But soon, he smiled again and said, "But that guy thought that he could make me panic like this, so he must be underestimating me. If I can't calm down, can I still hide and pretend?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Diarmait lightly stepped on the ground, and the warship he was on and several remaining warships around him were quickly enveloped by gravity, began to break away from the sea, and rose into the sky.

After rising above the tsunami, Diarmait once again saw the shattered Island of the Queen of Spring in the distance. The sea around the island had clearly dropped in level. The shattered island had surprisingly not yet been swallowed by the sea. It seemed Newgate had carried the surrounding water away with the tsunami, causing the sea level to drop rapidly...

However, once the tsunami subsides, the sea water will naturally flow back and swallow up the remaining islands.

At the same time, he also saw that on the other side of the huge tsunami, there was a pirate ship like a white whale, riding the wind and waves, riding the tsunami, and gradually moving away.

"The strongest in the world at his peak... I really can't imagine who can be a match for Whitebeard at this stage!" Diarmait said with some emotion.

Lieutenant General Jonathan quickly responded, "It's precisely because he's now invincible and unstoppable that he's called the world's strongest. Isn't that right?"

"Hahahaha, that makes sense!" Diarmait laughed.

Yes, it is precisely because Whitebeard is now invincible that he can be called the strongest in the world!

Chapter 144: The situation deteriorated and the navy suffered a major defeat. (Fifth update, supplementary update)

G-8 Naval Base.

In the office of Lieutenant General Jonathan, the base commander.

At this time, General Sengoku was sitting at his desk, and Chief of Staff Ahe and Diarmuid, Gion, Sakaski, and Jonathan were all sitting on the sofa below.

After the Battle of Spring Queen Island, these navy men chose to gather at G-8 to discuss and understand the situation.

The Warring States general was holding a document in his hand, his face was obviously very unhappy, and he was very angry.

"Twenty-one thousand six hundred and twenty-three!" the Warring States general suddenly spoke.

After a brief pause, he slammed the documents in his hand onto the table and cursed, "During the entire Spring Queen Island incident, our navy sacrificed 7 sailors! Twenty-seven warships were sunk! Judicial Island, the primary barrier connecting the G-8 and G- bases in the northern and southern Calm Belts, was completely destroyed. The massive tsunami brought severe disasters to the surrounding Seven Water Capitals, Gourmet Island, and Long Ring Island, indirectly causing over casualties and economic losses in the billions! Aren't you ashamed?!"

Diarmuid, Gion, Sakaski, and Lieutenant General Jonathan all lowered their heads and were scolded here.

There is no way. As a sailor, you can't always make achievements. You have to suffer when you deserve it.

This incident was indeed a major defeat, even a rout, for the navy, which triggered a series of chain reactions.

Sometimes the changes in the situation at sea are so unexpected.

At first, everyone, including Diarmait, thought it was Douglas. Barret and Crocodile fought on the Island of the Spring Queen.

This is not surprising. After all, these two guys are old enemies. They fought from the first half of the Grand Line to the New World, and then fought out of the New World. They have fought back and forth countless times.

It was just that Douglas Barrett had begun to go insane, so his threat level was extremely high.

Therefore, after discovering this situation, General Zhan Guo immediately ordered the formation of the Demon Slayer Fleet and asked the navy near Spring Queen Island to cooperate in implementing the Demon Slayer Order and make sure to kill Douglas Barrett on Spring Queen Island.

This is also the normal operation of the navy. Until Diarmuid and his men landed on the island, no mistakes were made.

But it just so happened that a person who seems almost insignificant now caused the subsequent large-scale retreat of the navy, and this large-scale retreat naturally evolved into a large-scale defeat.

This person is Pineapple Head, Marco.

His appearance instantly turned the situation that the navy could control into one that was out of control.

As expected, Whitebeard's fleet appeared shortly thereafter, and Edward Newgate, the world's strongest man who was supposed to be roaming the New World, also appeared on Spring Queen Island.

His appearance also fully demonstrates the destructive power and influence of the world's top pirate.

Even though he did not target the navy's deployment, he only fought a fierce battle with Diarmait.

Because of its aftermath, more than 20,000 naval casualties were caused, four or five surrounding islands were eroded by the tsunami, more than 30,000 people suffered unexpected disasters, and the economic losses amounted to trillions of berries.

This is the power and influence of top pirates. It can even be said that the battle at Spring Queen Island was not Whitebeard's normal performance at all. He was holding back.

For people like him, every move can truly influence the situation of the entire world.

This time, to put it in a positive light, it only affected a few islands near the waters of Spring Queen Island.

Looking at the world as a whole, to put it bluntly, it's almost insignificant.

But as the Warring States general said at this moment, as a navy, they failed to protect the country and the people, and instead brought disaster to the people. These senior generals, sitting here, still alive, don't they feel ashamed? Are they worthy of the sacrifices of the navy and those innocent people?

But after cursing, General Zhan Guo raised his hand to cover his eyes and said with a hint of pain, "You shouldn't be ashamed. You were just carrying out my orders. It's me, Zhan Guo, who should be ashamed! I am the one who is most responsible for this defeat! On the contrary, Diarmuid remained calm in the face of danger, Xiao He quickly rescued, Jonathan made good arrangements, and Sakaski, the Demon Slayer, was brave and fearless. You all deserve credit for this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Diarmuid and the others quickly said, "General, it was our mistake!"

"Shut up!" General Zhan Guo slammed the table, glaring at Diarmait and the others. "Wrong is wrong. The lives of over 20,000 sailors and the casualties of 30,000 civilians are the responsibility of Zhan Guo! Do you think I can't bear it?"

When the Warring States general got angry, Diarmuid and the others all shut up again.

However, at the moment he looked up, Diarmait saw that the eyes of the Warring States general were slightly moist.

Sure enough, he was very heartbroken.

To be honest, Diarmait didn't feel much at first. Even on that day, when they crossed the tsunami, he was still in the mood to express his admiration for Newgate's strength to Lieutenant General Jonathan.

But today, when he saw the furious Warring States general, he suddenly seemed to understand something.

This kind of truth cannot be explained or understood, but I have a sense of it.

At this moment, the Warring States General looked at Diarmait and Sakaski and said, "Diarmait, Sakaski, you two must remember today's events and never forget them. I also hope that you two can understand the true meaning behind this!"
