The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

Click! ! !

The void itself seemed unable to withstand the white beard's devastation any longer, shattering into almost unrecognizable pieces.

The powerful impact of that punch instantly pierced through John Jaendor's body, sending his massive frame flying to the side.

Even so, the powerful impact continued unabated, scattering all the surrounding marines and propelling them towards the execution platform!

"Oh no, retreat immediately!!!"

As the line of defense before the execution platform, the four lieutenant generals, including Jonathan and Stolberg, all changed their expressions.

Feeling the intense shockwave, and after assessing their own strength, they gritted their teeth and retreated to the surroundings.

He never mentioned again the time he stood in front of Link, ready to fight him to the death.

After all~

If he had been defeated by Link and died in a direct fight, it would have been understandable, and he could be considered to have died with honor.

But if one were merely affected by the shockwave from a casual punch thrown by Whitebeard and sent flying...

That would be incredibly embarrassing and utterly disgraceful!

What saddened them even more was that even a casual punch from Whitebeard, with its residual power after the impact, was something these vice admirals still couldn't withstand.

If it were the attack from the elderly Whitebeard, they could have tried to withstand it with Armament Haki.

but now……

They had absolutely no confidence in what would happen next.

The monster standing at the top of this ocean cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

The difference between us is like heaven and earth.

This world is just so absurd and unreasonable.

These lieutenant generals, who had long since come to terms with reality, could only silently step aside.

Let's give the most dazzling spot on this battlefield to the most crucial protagonist!

They were destined to be mere supporting characters in this war, barely qualifying as major ones.

Wow!

The powerful shockwave, carrying immense force, seemed to roar in anger as it hurtled straight toward the execution platform.

Link had also left this place early on using lightning teleportation.

With the departure of those lieutenant generals, the defensive line in front of the execution platform was completely deserted!

"Oh dear!!"

Luffy and Sabo, who were heading towards the execution platform, quickly dodged the attack from their own people.

And so, the powerful impact continued straight toward the execution platform.

It looked like it was about to hit them.

"Stop being so self-righteous!!!"

A loud roar followed, and then a figure stepped forward...

The fist was wrapped in the highest level of Armament Haki, and it delivered a powerful punch directly to the incoming shockwave.

boom! !

A shockwave rippled through the air; the seemingly immense and terrifying shockwave was completely neutralized by the impact of this punch.

Apart from a slight ripple of air, everything else, including the force of the impact, vanished without a trace at that moment!

"You want to just take over the execution platform like this..."

On the high platform, Garp lowered his fist with a resolute expression. "Stop daydreaming, Whitebeard!!!"

"Lieutenant General Garp!!!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"

When Vice Admiral Garp, the naval hero, stepped forward and blocked Whitebeard's powerful final blow, the naval soldiers erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

Sure enough, even if Whitebeard recovers to his peak condition, so what? We have Vice Admiral Garp. No matter how strong he is, our heroic Vice Admiral can definitely take him down!

Garp's punch not only shattered Whitebeard's shockwave, but also pierced the dark cloud of fear hanging over the heads of many Marines!

"Garp..."

Whitebeard gripped his sword, gazing at the figure on the high platform, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

If he had to pick the most formidable person in the navy on this battlefield, it wouldn't be Sengoku, nor the three admirals with the highest combat power.

This was the veteran who was nicknamed "Hero" by the naval vice admiral.

He knew all too well just how terrifyingly powerful this seemingly unreliable naval veteran truly was.

Thirty-six years ago, in the battle at God Valley, Whitebeard clearly witnessed Garp at his strongest and most peak moment!

Even now, recalling that terrifying strength, Whitebeard still felt some apprehension.

Of course, as much as we're wary, if a fight really breaks out...

"Gurarararara, I just wonder if you still have the strength you had back then, Garp!!"

The white-bearded man laughed loudly, slamming his large sword against the ground.

He won't hold back at all; he might even slash Garp's head and neck a few more times!

"It's so noisy, Whitebeard!"

Suddenly, a deep, serious voice rang out in front of Whitebeard.

That dark red suit stood out conspicuously amidst the blue and white righteous crowd.

"Akainu..."

The white-bearded man stopped laughing and looked at the serious-looking middle-aged man in front of him, his eyes gradually calming down.

He hadn't forgotten that it was Akainu who had told him Squard's claim that he had betrayed his own son.

"Sure enough, all these years later, he's still resorting to any means necessary. A leopard can't change its spots, Lava Boy..."

Whitebeard made a sarcastic remark with a double meaning.

"To deal with you pirates, any method is acceptable as long as it can eliminate you."

Sakazuki Akainu said in a deep voice, "Unfortunately, it's still just a little bit short."

"Gurara la la la, these petty tricks are just slapped on the table and will only make you look foolish in the end!!!"

The white-bearded man smiled and raised the naginata high with one hand.

Ying~~~

A shimmering white halo appeared simultaneously on the blade of that cloud-cutting sword.

That was a full-force attack from Whitebeard at his peak!

"Air Tremor - Jade Shatters!!!"

With a loud shout, Whitebeard swung his naginata forward with a fierce motion.

~~~~~~~~~

[Thank you so much to 'Calm Ordinary Person' for the generous donation of 588 points!!]

375 A defeated Akainu!! Unable to confront him head-on!! Sorry, this path is blocked!!

At the same time, the shimmering white orb that emitted an extreme halo was also flung away by the white-bearded man.

"Dog bites Guren!!!"

The molten arm instantly transformed into a massive, scorching crimson dog head, and amidst Akainu's solemn roar, it clashed head-on with Whitebeard's shimmering white aura of energy!

boom! ! !

The two collided, causing extremely strong shocks and fluctuations in mid-air!

The boundless shockwave rippled outwards, sending all the marines and pirates who tried to get closer flying back, coughing up blood.

No one else could approach the entire area!

"Sakaski..."

On the high platform, Sengoku looked down at Akainu, who was fighting Whitebeard. His eyes lowered slightly.

He could sense Akainu's current determination—a firm belief in killing Whitebeard, even at the cost of his own life.

Akainu Sakazuki is the most radical and ruthless hawk among all the Marines, and he hates pirates the most.

It was precisely because Sengoku clearly understood his thoughts and beliefs that he arranged for him to deal with Whitebeard, the opposing commander, in this battle.

However, in Sengoku's vision, Akainu would face off against an aged and ailing Whitebeard, who had been severely injured by Squard's sneak attack.

Instead of what it is now, with everything restored to its peak state, the unscathed Whitebeard of the world's strongest man!!!

Facing such a white beard...

"Can we win, Sakazuki?"

Sengoku asked himself these questions in his heart, and after several deductions using his Buddhist wisdom, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"There's no chance..."

25 Bombs!!

"Back when Golden Shiki wreaked havoc at Marine Headquarters~"

The magma dog's head shattered inch by inch upon impact with the shockwave halo.

"It took both of us, Garp and I, to take him down."

Even a dog's head with the power of molten magma couldn't withstand the air quake powerful enough to shatter the atmosphere!

"Back then, both Garp and I were at our peak, and we still managed to destroy most of Marineford..."

A comparison between Akainu Sakazuki's ultimate attack and Whitebeard's ultimate attack~~~

"Not to mention now, Whitebeard is even more powerful than the Golden Lion back then!!!"

Click! !

The lava dog's head could no longer hold on and turned into dust in mid-air!

The shimmering white light, however, continued its relentless advance, hurtling towards Akainu at breakneck speed!

"Ming dog!!"

Akainu's face was cold and unaffected by his previous defeat. He instantly raised his arm.

The entire arm and hand instantly transformed into intensely hot magma, like the sharp teeth and claws of a canine, swiftly clawing towards the shimmering white halo!

And at the very moment that magma arm made contact with the vibrating sphere of light...

boom! ! !

A deafening explosion, almost as powerful as the previous raging bear's impact, rang out!

The broken lava fragments flew everywhere, landing on the ground with a hissing, burning sound.

A figure was instantly sent flying from the very center of the explosion, his feet trying to stop on the ground, but the powerful force sent him flying backward.

And two deep, scorching marks were left on the ground.

After being thrown back quite a distance, the figure in the dark red suit finally stopped.

"puff!!"

A vibrant flower of blood uncontrollably gushed from Sakazuki's mouth.

That was the ultimate move unleashed by Whitebeard, who had returned to his peak.

Even Akainu, a Marine Admiral, was unable to confront him head-on!

Back then, even with a ship's wheel stuck in his head, it took Sengoku and Garp at their peak, along with most of Marineford, to subdue Shiki.

Now, Akainu alone has to face Whitebeard, who is even more powerful than Shiki back then...

In comparison, it is clear that he is no match for Whitebeard now.
