"Snap!"
With a crisp sound like shattering glass, spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread across Rocks' head.
His entire upper body felt as if it were mired in mud, slammed deep into the ground.
The next moment, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power erupted like a primordial beast awakening.
Marineford seemed to have been struck by a magnitude 10 earthquake, the earth shaking violently like a small boat on turbulent waves.
The crowd seemed to be in a raging storm, where even standing was a luxury, and they all staggered and screamed in agony.
"Boom!!!"
Under the devastating power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Marineford, like a fragile castle built of building blocks, collapsed under the immense pressure.
The naval headquarters collapsed, and the word "justice" was buried deep beneath the ruins.
The land of Marineford seemed to have been torn apart by an invisible giant hand, splitting into five pieces of varying sizes.
Fragments shot into the sky with the shockwave, then crashed down with tremendous force.
In an instant, smoke and dust billowed, obscuring the sky and the sun, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Some people who were unable to react in time were smashed into mincemeat by the falling debris.
Everyone stared in horror at the eye of the storm; the world's strongest man truly lived up to his reputation.
Whitebeard, at the heart of the storm, seemed detached from the chaos and clamor, standing tall and unyielding amidst the ruins like an evergreen pine tree.
Despite having just unleashed a deadly strike that consumed all his life force, his domineering aura still fluttered like a banner.
At this moment, he fully deserved the title of the world's strongest man, and Marineford's fate highlighted his invincible reputation over the past decades.
However, at this moment, the vitality within his imposing body had completely dissipated, like a candle flame that had burned out.
The light in his eyes slowly dimmed, but his indomitable spirit remained steadfast, as if proclaiming to the world that he had been here, fought, and shone brightly.
The members of the Whitebeard Pirates looked at their father, who stood still but had already passed away, and their hearts were filled with grief that instantly overwhelmed them.
Marco's knees buckled, and he knelt down with a thud, his hands gripping the soil tightly, his fingernails digging into his palms without him even realizing it.
Tears streamed uncontrollably down his face, and a wild, painful roar escaped his throat.
Joz and the others also had red eyes and trembling bodies; their usually resolute faces were now covered in tears.
They wanted to rush forward, but they seemed to be nailed to the spot, their legs felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and their hearts were filled with disbelief and heartbreak.
Viewers around the world who witnessed this scene through the video Den Den Mushi were all horrified.
The once bustling town streets were now eerily silent.
Everyone stared at the screen in disbelief, as if their souls had left their bodies, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.
A series of gasps immediately erupted, a mixture of shock and fear at the end of a legend's life.
In the naval camp, many officers and soldiers also wore solemn expressions.
Having just returned to Marineford, Zephyr, the Black-Armed One, tilted his head slightly and looked at the dust-shrouded land in the distance, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
"Whitebeard, Whitebeard, even in death he was so domineering. He truly deserves to be called the strongest man who once dominated the seas."
Red-haired Shanks sighed, realizing that there was still such a huge gap between him and the true powerhouses of the older generation.
However, just as everyone was immersed in grief and shock over Whitebeard's passing, a sudden change occurred.
The countless fragments scattered throughout Marineford, resembling shards of starlight, seemed to be drawn by a mysterious force, rising from the shattered earth.
At first, they were just a few scattered points, but in an instant they converged into a dense torrent, intertwining and merging in the air at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Everyone's expression changed drastically, staring at the scene in disbelief.
In the blink of an eye, Lox's familiar figure solidified once more, hovering unharmed in mid-air.
He exuded an aura of dominance, as if he had just experienced not a life-or-death situation, but a trivial farce.
"hiss!"
Everyone gasped, their expressions of horror evident.
This miraculous rebirth from the brink of death far surpasses everyone's understanding of the laws of life and death and the power of Devil Fruits.
Lox looked down at the crowd below, a playful yet arrogant smile playing on his lips.
That look seemed to mock the astonishment and ignorance of the world.
"What? Surprised?"
Lox spoke, his voice booming like a bell, echoing across the ravaged world.
"With such meager skills, you think you can send me to my grave? Newgate, you're still lacking in experience! Although your attack was indeed powerful, it's still not enough to kill me!"
After saying that, he slowly raised his hand, and a black energy vortex surged in his palm, as if a black hole had appeared, swallowing the white-bearded man's corpse.
Rocks has done what Blackbeard couldn't.
It won't be long before the three Devil Fruit users appear in the world.
Upon seeing this, the Whitebeard Pirates' division commanders instantly suppressed their grief, gritted their teeth, and glared angrily.
"Lox, die!"
Marco spread his wings and soared into the sky, charging towards Lox first, his body engulfed in blazing blue flames.
Joz roared, his arms turning into diamonds, shining brightly, like two shooting stars crashing down on Rocks.
The other squad leaders also used their own methods, and in an instant, all kinds of light and domineering aura intertwined and surged toward the arrogant and domineering figure in mid-air.
When Rocks saw the Whitebeard Pirates charging towards him like a surging tide, the smile on his face instantly turned into disdain and coldness.
He didn't move, but casually threw a punch, the wind of which was like black lightning.
It pierced through the void in an instant and crashed straight into Marco.
Marco was unable to dodge in time and was hit head-on by the force of the punch, causing the blue flames around his body to dim instantly.
He was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the ruins in the distance, kicking up a cloud of dust and sand, and was unable to get up for a long time.
Upon seeing this, Joz's eyes turned bloodshot, and he roared as he accelerated forward, the diamonds on his arms shining with extreme brilliance, determined to pierce through Rocks.
Kelos simply turned slightly to the side, easily dodging the fierce attack.
He then extended his hand, clamping Joz's arm with the precision of a steel clamp.
Joz struggled to break free, only to find himself as if held captive by a force of ten thousand tons, unable to move an inch.
Lockes smirked and suddenly exerted force, a crisp "crack" echoing all around.
Joz's diamond arm was broken off. Joz screamed and collapsed to the ground, drenched in cold sweat.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the other squad leaders launched an even more fierce attack, unleashing a barrage of Devil Fruit abilities and Haki techniques at Rocks.
Vista's sword flashes resembled blooming flowers, attempting to disrupt Rocks with his lightning-fast swordplay.
The roar of gunfire from Tibet was deafening, and bullets rained down like a storm, whistling away with an aura of destruction.
But Lox was like a ghost, strolling leisurely amidst the dense attacks, his figure elusive and unpredictable.
Wherever it passed, all attacks vanished without a trace.
He suddenly flashed and instantly appeared in front of the squad leader who was making the fastest attack.
A hand, imbued with dense dark energy, gently pressed against his chest.
The squad leader's eyes widened instantly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His body collapsed as if struck by lightning.
Immediately afterwards, Rocks moved like the Grim Reaper wielding his scythe, weaving through the crowd.
In the blink of an eye, the division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates fell to the ground, turning into headless corpses.
The former heroic spirit that once roamed the world has vanished, leaving only a pile of corpses.
On the naval side, the officers and soldiers felt their scalps tingle and their backs were soaked with cold sweat.
The Red-Haired Pirates watched the battle from a distance, their faces filled with shock.
Shanks stared wide-eyed at Rocks, who seemed invincible in mid-air, and then looked at Roger in front of him.
His hands trembled slightly, a storm raging within him, a testament to his usual composure.
Since Rocks has this ability, it means that Roger, Garp, and the White Tiger General all have the ability to be immortal.
Beckman's expression was grave. He raised his hand to push up the brim of his hat and said in a low voice, "Captain, this situation is tricky. This kind of immortality is almost unsolvable."
The crew members whispered among themselves, and they all saw deep worry in each other's eyes.
Locusts hovered in mid-air, surveying the remnants of his defeated army below, and laughed wildly.
"You shrimp soldiers and crab generals dare to try and stop me? Today I'll show you what a true sea overlord is!"
This isn't just for the Whitebeard Pirates, but for the entire world.
He, Rocks, is back after decades!
The next moment, he punched the void, cracks appeared, and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit reappeared.
A user with three Devil Fruit abilities has been born!
