One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Chapter 287: One Kick Leads to the Finale?

"Kid... uh???"

Whitebeard's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. He slowly lowered his head, his gaze falling on the enormous sword of "Great Vortex Spider" Squard.

The knife pierced his body mercilessly, like a sharp arrow.

If it weren't for his keen Observation Haki sensing the danger in time, and his battle-hardened body instinctively making a dodge maneuver, the slash would likely have struck his vital points directly, causing him a fatal blow.

However, although he successfully avoided a fatal blow, he knew very well that there was another important reason why the stab did not cause more serious consequences.

The moment his Observation Haki detected the attack, he not only sensed Squard's movements but also noticed his hesitation and weakness.

At the last moment, "The Great Vortex Spider" Squard seemed to suddenly change his mind, slightly shifting the knife that was originally aimed straight at his vitals.

This subtle change made him realize that "The Great Vortex Spider" Squard hesitated at the last moment, or rather, his hand softened at the crucial moment.

This is one of the reasons why he didn't kill him immediately.

Another reason was that he needed to figure out why "The Great Vortex Spider" Squard had suddenly attacked him.

Otherwise, the crime of attacking his own captain and father would be enough to kill "The Great Whirlpool Spider" Squard a thousand times over.

Whitebeard looked down at Squard and questioned, "Squard, why did you do this?"

Squard's eyes were filled with complex emotions: hatred, respect, and fear.

"shave!"

Aini wouldn't give the two a chance to get emotional, because he knew that keeping their misunderstanding unresolved would be more advantageous to the current situation. So, before "The Great Vortex Spider" Squard could reply, Aini vanished without hesitation.

The next instant, Enni appeared behind Whitebeard without warning, like a ghost. Squard, who was about to speak, noticed Enni's sudden appearance, and his expression froze, as if he had been frozen in place.

"Uh?"

Whitebeard's Observation Haki instantly detected Enni's arrival. He turned around abruptly, his gaze piercing as he looked behind him. When he recognized Enni, the anger within him erupted like a powder keg, becoming uncontrollable.

"You brat, you're asking for death!"

Whitebeard roared, completely disregarding the knife still stuck in his body, and the Murakumogiri in his hand emitted a chilling light at that moment.

With a flick of his arm, the enormous blade slashed straight at Aini like lightning, its momentum unstoppable.

However, Enni's Observation Haki was equally outstanding. The moment Whitebeard attacked, he had already discerned the latter's intentions. With a sudden burst of power from his legs, he leaped into the air like an arrow, easily dodging Whitebeard's thunderous blow with remarkable agility.

Already airborne, Enni seized the opportunity, his foot striking the blade that pierced Whitebeard with lightning speed.

Ani's lips curled into a slight smile, one he couldn't quite conceal. He knew that if that kick landed squarely, Whitebeard's body would be sliced ​​in two, starting from his chest.

At that point, no matter how powerful Whitebeard was, he would absolutely not be able to escape death. At most, he could only make a final, desperate struggle before his demise.

"not good!"

Whitebeard's face turned deathly pale instantly, and an unprecedented fear surged within him.

He immediately realized Aini's intention and knew clearly that if Aini's foot really landed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

This was the most direct confrontation with death he had faced in many years.

Normally, he could easily retaliate.

However, Whitebeard was now in an extremely awkward situation. He wanted to dodge or retaliate against Enni's kick, but found that he simply couldn't.

His body was pinned firmly to the greatsword, unable to move freely. The hilt was still tightly gripped in the hand of "The Great Vortex Spider" Squard.

This means that if he twists his body even slightly, the large knife will cause even greater damage inside his body, and may even kill him.

Not only Whitebeard, but everyone present witnessed this breathtaking scene.

The sailors' faces initially showed disbelief and shock, but this shock was quickly replaced by surprise and anticipation. They all knew clearly that this seemingly simple kick could very well determine the final outcome of the war.

However, where there is joy, there is bound to be sorrow. The Whitebeard Pirates were still reeling from the shock of Squard's sneak attack on Whitebeard, and hadn't yet recovered. But in the next instant, they watched helplessly as that fatal kick was delivered to their beloved father.

In an instant, everyone's heart leaped into their throats, their eyes filled with endless worry and fear. The current situation was far too unfavorable for their father!

"Dad!" Many people could no longer suppress their fear and cried out in alarm.

"Pfft!"

As Aini's foot landed firmly, the already gruesome wound seemed to be torn open in an instant, and blood gushed out like a flood, splattering on the surrounding ground and forming a pool of scarlet blood.

However, at this breathtaking moment, something astonishing happened—the knife in Aini's hand seemed to be blocked by a mysterious and powerful force, and suddenly could not continue cutting.

"Uh?"

Aini looked down in astonishment and saw "Floral" Vista rushing down to the lower position. He gripped his twin swords tightly with both hands, desperately blocking the downward-moving blades, preventing them from advancing even an inch further.

At that moment, Whitebeard couldn't care less about "Big Whirlpool Spider" Squard.

Ignoring the excruciating pain in his body, he endured the immense agony of his wounds and the doubts in his heart, and suddenly raised his foot, kicking "The Great Vortex Spider" Squard hard in the abdomen.

This kick was like a thunderbolt, containing boundless power and fury.

"The Great Vortex Spider" Squard had no time to react and was kicked away by the powerful force, like a kite with a broken string.

Because "The Great Vortex Spider" Squard's hand was still tightly gripping the hilt of the knife, the knife was pulled out the instant he was kicked away.
