Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

Page 255

"Pluto!"

The giant magma fist transformed into the shape of a dog's head, charging towards Whitebeard with terrifying and astonishing destructive power and momentum.

Whitebeard reacted quickly, bracing himself and throwing a punch.

Too rushed.

This caused the shockwave from his punch to be completely outmatched when it collided with the magma, and he was knocked back several steps by Akainu's punch.

Whitebeard's expression was rather unpleasant.

"Big fire-breathing!"

Akainu took a step in front of Whitebeard and unleashed another punch.

Whitebeard was about to defend himself.

A sinister voice sounded behind him.

"Dad, it's been a long time."

Whitebeard's eyes narrowed sharply upon hearing the voice.

"Dark Water!"

"One-Sword Style, Rain Slaughter".

Bang bang bang!

In an instant, Whitebeard was affected by Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit power, and Shiryu of the Rain swung his famous sword Raiyu, hardened with Armament Haki, and unleashed a ghostly strike.

Van Augur raised his beloved "Thousand Six" and fired a bullet imbued with Armament Haki at Whitebeard.

All the attacks landed on Whitebeard's back, and Whitebeard couldn't help but groan.

These fierce attacks also rendered him completely unable to counter Akainu's attacks.

Akainu's giant magma fist pierced straight through Whitebeard's chest!

"!!"

This sudden turn of events shocked everyone around the world who were following the war.

"Dad!"

Marco was horrified.

Ace turned his head and saw this scene, and his pupils also contracted sharply.

The others stared in shock and disbelief.

The entire Marineford fell silent for a moment.

Some people looked at the suddenly appearing black-bearded man, and their expressions changed slightly.

Ace, in particular, stared intently at Blackbeard with a look that seemed to want to devour him.

"Tikki!"

Whitebeard was covered in blood at this moment, his internal organs burned by Akainu's punch, an injury that could be fatal in an instant.

Akainu, his magma fist piercing Whitebeard's chest, coldly stared at the bowed Whitebeard before him: "Whitebeard, your era is over. The Whitebeard Pirates will be annihilated here."

"Hahaha! I finally succeeded!"

Blackbeard's incredibly arrogant and smug voice rang out behind Whitebeard, "Father, you didn't expect me to show up at this time, did you?!"

"Tikki..."

Whitebeard raised his head, his eyes bloodshot and brimming with killing intent, which made even Akainu in front of him shudder.

With his overcoat billowing in the wind and flames erupting from his chest, Whitebeard completely disregarded his injuries. His large hand, hardened by Armament Haki, grabbed Akainu's collar and slammed him to the ground, all in Akainu's wide-eyed gaze.

A punch, imbued with the power of shockwaves, slammed into Akainu's head in his horrified gaze.

The entire plaza shook violently in an instant. Countless marines were thrown away in horror by the shockwave, and countless cracks leading to the invincible abyss spread outwards from Whitebeard's feet.

Amidst the horrified and shocked gazes of countless people, the entire square began to collapse and crumble!

Whitebeard unleashed a powerful kick, and the injured Akainu was transformed into a meteor, crashing into the Marine platform and shattering countless buildings along its path.

After doing this.

Whitebeard, his body brimming with murderous intent, turned to look behind him, staring intently at Blackbeard and his group.

"Teach, I can't believe you actually dare to show your face in front of me."

Blackbeard spread his arms wide and laughed wildly at Whitebeard: "Hahaha, old man, do you still think you can kill me in your current state?"

"I'm not the Blackbeard I used to be. Just look at the fact that I captured Ace, and you should know that, right?"

The Blackbeard Pirates behind him raised their guns at Whitebeard.

Whitebeard said nothing, but stared at Blackbeard with murderous intent, raised his left hand, his muscles bulged, and the shockwave gathered in his fist, with a howling wind around him!

Blackbeard grinned as he looked at Whitebeard, a deep, dark aura emanating from him, instantly turning the ground within a hundred meters into a black pool.

"Let me show you! Your strongest power!"

"Dark acupoint!"

Just as the two were about to clash.

Suddenly, a shadow covered the sky.

A giant dragon crashed heavily onto the ground plaza, causing the entire Marineford to tremble.

Everyone was shocked.

Kaido...was knocked down from the sky?

Ron, radiating a crimson aura, his long black hair dancing wildly in the wind, and his black clothes fluttering in the wind, stood a hundred meters in the air, his azure eyes looking down at a figure slowly stepping onto the dilapidated square.

"So they really came..."

Ron smiled.

The newcomer wore a coat, had a long sword at his waist, red hair, a cold expression, and domineering eyes.

The moment the navy saw that figure, they were first stunned, then turned pale with horror.

"How...how is this possible?!"

When Zhan Guo saw that person, his pupils contracted, and he was shocked.

"Red-haired... Shanks!"

"Red hair..."

Garp clenched his fist and gritted his teeth: "The guy who led Luffy down the path of piracy, huh..."

Amidst the stunned and speechless gazes of everyone.

One of the Four Emperors, Shanks, led the Red-Haired Pirates to Marineford!

All four Emperors except for the Big Mom Pirates are present!

[P.S.: I saw comments saying I was padding the post, but I really wasn't! It's just a bit slow, plus it's long and there are a lot of people involved, so it might seem a bit padded. If I really wanted to pad it, it wouldn't be this much...]

Writing a good account of the Marineford War, capturing the grander scale I envisioned compared to the original story, was indeed more difficult than I expected. Anyway, I'll try to refine it as much as possible later on…

[Two chapters today, considering the plot's direction. Three chapters tomorrow to conclude the Marineford War...]

221, let's turn the world upside down together!

"Red-haired Shanks!"

"Another one of the Four Emperors..."

"My God! Is this going to completely wipe out the Navy?!"

"Whitebeard, Kaido, Shanks, and Roon the Traveler..."

"What will become of this world...?"

Ordinary people in front of the video Den Den Mushi stared blankly at the scene on the screen, their hearts trembling with fear.

World Government.

The Five Elders stared at Shanks, the red-haired man, appearing on the screen in Marineford, their expressions slightly tense.

"Red hair..."

With everyone watching.

Shanks stopped in his tracks, looked up at everyone in front of him, his eyes filled with domineering coldness.

His first words were...

"Can this war... end here?"

Zhan Guo's eyes narrowed.

Onigumo, wielding a sword in both hands, roared, "What did you say?! Are you saying we, the Navy, should stop?"
