Whitebeard roared angrily.
"Men, take Ace and retreat!"
"Dad!"
In the final seconds of his life, Whitebeard looked at Ace, Marco, and the others who were running towards him with tears streaming down their faces, a smile appeared on his face, and he slowly closed his eyes, his mind filled with the memories of the past few years.
"It really was... a very long journey."
"No regrets..."
One of the Four Emperors, Whitebeard, the legendary pirate known as the strongest man in the world, Edward Newgate, died in the Marineford War in 1520 of the Sea Calendar.
The era of Whitebeard has ended.
223, War Officially Declared! A Power That Shocks the World
Whitebeard died standing up.
Looking at the scene inside the video Den Den Mushi,
The entire battlefield, and the whole world, was shocked and fell silent.
Ace, Marco, and the others rushed to Whitebeard's side, looked at the dead Whitebeard, and burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
Ace was in so much pain that he almost fainted.
On the navy's side.
While Whitebeard's death was a good thing for the Navy, Sengoku couldn't laugh; his heart was heavy with sorrow and regret. Setting aside his position as Fleet Admiral, he still held considerable admiration for Whitebeard's spirit and strength.
Garp looked at Whitebeard, his expression somewhat complicated: "Roger is gone, so has Whitebeard's era ended too..."
"The old era is completely gone."
Blackbeard rose from the ground and laughed wildly at the dead Whitebeard: "The era of me, Blackbeard, is about to begin!"
"Oh, really?"
A calm voice suddenly rang out above him.
Blackbeard heard the voice, looked up, and saw Ron appear above him. His pupils suddenly contracted.
"The traveler... Ron!"
A bead of cold sweat trickled down Van Oka's forehead.
Ron looked down at Blackbeard and his crew with an indifferent expression, his mere presence intimidating them.
“Ron the Traveler, we have no conflict, and I have no intention of offending you.”
Blackbeard quickly said to Ron.
He had no intention of clashing with Ron before obtaining the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
"I just don't like you."
A flash of brilliant light appeared in Ron's azure eyes.
Shinra Tianzheng!
An incredibly powerful repulsive force erupted from him, blasting him and all the Blackbeard Pirates members behind him away in Blackbeard's wide-eyed horror.
The force was like being hit hard by a speeding train.
The Blackbeard Pirates flew through the air, all of them covered in blood!
A semi-circular crater, nearly 100 meters in diameter, instantly appeared on the ground.
Ron drew his Blood Moon Blade from his waist and slashed at the fleeing Blackbeard crew.
"Round dance!"
As the crimson slash hurtled towards him, Blackbeard's pupils constricted as he flew backward in the air, sensing a deadly danger emanating from the sword.
Despite enduring excruciating pain several times greater than normal, Blackbeard activated yet another ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit.
"Dark Devourer!"
A dark vortex appeared in front of him, and the air itself was distorted by gravity.
Ron's crimson slash struck the dark vortex within a meter's radius. Affected by the gravity of the darkness, it paused for a moment. Part of the slash was attracted and swallowed by the darkness, while the other part struck Blackbeard heavily, sending him flying a thousand meters away from the plaza into the inner sea.
"Today, Blackbeard's era will also end here."
Ron's azure Tenseigan eyes were firmly locked onto Blackbeard, his third-stage Observation Haki allowing him to foresee a corner of the future and control every detail of the Transparent World.
He raised the Blood Moon Blade, which was wreathed in dense sword energy, and slashed it in that direction.
Ron's perfect swordsmanship, combined with his Ryuo Haki and the power of the Float-Float Fruit, made his vertical, crimson slash reach the heavens and the earth, as if it were about to cleave the entire ocean.
Under the utterly shocked gazes of Zoro, Onigumo, Momonga, and other swordsmen.
The entire inner sea of Marineford was cleaved open by this sword, as was the sea outside Marineford, as if a straight line had been drawn on a piece of azure cloth with a pencil and ruler.
Blackbeard Teach, carrying all his ambitions, was cleaved in two by this sword strike.
The vast ocean, tens of thousands of meters wide, was cleaved in two by a single sword strike. The crack was straight, hundreds of meters deep, and tens of meters wide, like the legendary parting of the sea by a deity. It was magnificent and awe-inspiring.
Ordinary people around the world watching this battle from in front of the video Den Den Mushi screen nearly popped their eyes out of their sockets when they saw this scene.
"Eh!!!!"
"Okay, so awesome..."
Nami stared blankly.
Kuina, with her cool and aloof expression, had eyes full of admiration and longing.
Hawkeye Mihawk lowered his head, his hawk-like eyes beneath the black brim gleaming with a sharp, fighting spirit—a tacit acknowledgment of his opponent.
A hint of surprise flashed in Shanks' eyes.
I never imagined his swordsmanship had reached such a level...
With his mohawk and striped suit, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel stared dumbfounded at the sea that had been cleaved open before him, utterly shocked.
"Was that slash... really delivered by that boy from back then?!"
"What kind of monsters did I teach back then?!"
Seemingly sensing the change in Momonga's emotions, Ron, wielding the Blood Blade Moon, turned his head, looked at Momonga, and smiled at him.
Just like the smile Ron gave Momonga when he first unleashed his swordsman's strike, it was chilling and terrifying.
It seemed as if he was about to raise his blood-stained knife and swing it at the flying squirrel in the next second, to retaliate against the flying squirrel's 'painstaking teachings' from back then.
Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel couldn't help but shudder, his hair stood on end, and he swallowed hard.
Fortunately, Ron did not do that.
He looked away, and Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel breathed a sigh of relief.
Ron, wielding the Blood Blade Moon, walked up to Kuina and the others. The giant stone golem seemed to possess intelligence, trembling as it walked behind them with each step.
Under the gaze of everyone, filled with awe, hatred, fear, and shock.
Ron looked calmly at Sengoku Garp in the distance and said, "Today's Marineford War is not the end of the old era, but the beginning of a new world, the prelude."
Hear his words.
Whether it was the Navy, the Red-Haired Pirates, or the grieving Whitebeard Pirates, they all looked up at him.
Ordinary people watching the video Den Den Mushi also held their breath, listening intently to his words.
The whole world is watching this.
"The World Government has ruled the world for eight hundred years, and the ruling order of the Celestial Dragons, which the Navy relies on by force to maintain, has also existed on this sea for eight hundred years. It is already rotten and stinks."
Ron's calm voice resounded throughout Marineford and the entire world.
"The navy that maintains this corrupt order is no longer the navy that represents absolute justice on the sea, and today's defeat demonstrates this."
Marshal Sengoku could no longer contain himself and roared, "Shut up!"
The five elders of the World Government were also getting restless, their faces turning grim.
"That bastard!"
Ron's azure Tensei eyes swept over the Navy, the Red-Haired Pirates, and the Whitebeard Pirates, and the calm words he spoke shook the entire world.
"Today, the Sky Calamity Brigade, the Revolutionary Army, and Amazon Lily have formed an alliance and are officially declaring war on the World Government."
The words fell.
Sabo and Ivankov landed behind Ron with the heavily injured and unconscious Luffy.
"Sabo, Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, on behalf of Leader Dragon, declares war on the World Government."
Boa Hancock, the Pirate Empress, also came to Ron's side.
Then there's Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and a tyrant.
Upon seeing this, Sengoku clenched his fists, his face extremely grim.
"really!"
