"Whitebeard, did I say something wrong?"
Sengoku was not intimidated by Whitebeard at all, and said coldly, "You knew Fire Fist Ace's identity, which is why you recruited him as the captain of the second division, right?"
Fire Fist Ace was dumbfounded. It turned out that the one who had been kept in the dark all along was not Whitebeard, nor the Marines, but himself.
My identity was so conspicuous in the eyes of others.
The other captains of the Whitebeard Pirates who objected did not show any particular expression; Fire Fist Ace's identity was insignificant to them.
Among these squad leaders, there were quite a few who had met the Pirate King Roger, and they had a fairly good relationship with the other members of Roger's crew.
Fire Fist Ace is now their partner; even though he is the son of a demon, he is still their family.
Upon hearing Sengoku's words, Whitebeard burst into laughter: "Whoosh whoosh, Sengoku, you may be clever, but you've misjudged my feelings for Ace."
“I adopted him as my son not because he is Roger’s son, but because I wanted to. I don’t care about his identity.”
"Dad!" Fire Fist Ace cried, tears streaming down his face. He shouldn't have been so arrogant, which led to Whitebeard and the other division commanders being in danger.
It was he who plunged the entire Whitebeard Pirates into crisis.
"Everyone, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have underestimated Teach's strength and let him defeat me, which put us all in danger."
Tears streamed down his face; he hadn't been this heartbroken even when Garp and Luffy died.
Whitebeard crossed his arms and clenched his fists, his tone cold: "Sengoku, how dare you make my son cry? Are you ready to face my wrath?"
Seeing his posture, Sengoku quickly warned the entire army: "Attention, everyone! The strongest man in the world is about to get angry!"
Instantly, large beads of sweat dripped from the foreheads of the naval soldiers, and they swallowed hard, their throats bobbing.
Without realizing it, he gripped his weapon tightly, not daring to slacken his grip even slightly.
A person's reputation precedes them; Whitebeard has been known as the strongest man in the world for a very long time, so how could the Marines not be afraid!
In the shadows of Marineford, several figures stood, with Lox leading the way.
"Wow, the strongest man in the world? It seems Newgate has made a name for himself after I died!"
Rocks disagreed with the claim that Whitebeard was the strongest man in the world.
Back when he was with the Rocks Pirates, Whitebeard was no match for him.
In other words, the strongest man in the world has never beaten him.
Doesn't that mean he, Rocks, is a man even more powerful than the strongest man in the world?
While the title may be somewhat exaggerated, the fact that Whitebeard was able to receive it proves that he was indeed quite powerful.
"Hahaha, let me see what you're made of, Newgate. Don't disappoint me!"
Lox grinned menacingly, his hands itching with desire.
Unfortunately, without Lu Renjia's orders, he could only obediently stay here and dutifully serve as a support for a live Den Den Mushi.
In the inner bay, the Moby Dick.
Whitebeard's eyes narrowed, and two white halos enveloped his crossed fists, exuding an aura of destruction.
The navy was on high alert, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea were also keeping a close watch, while only the five admirals remained calm and collected.
"Dad, let's wipe out the navy!"
The division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates shouted, for they hadn't seen their father fight in a long time.
After all, in the New World, unless the other four Emperors attack, Whitebeard doesn't need to take action.
Now we finally have the chance to witness the world's strongest man's attack again!
On Whitebeard's muscular arms, muscles instantly rose like small hills.
The veins, like blue dragons, meandered and coiled beneath the skin, surging wildly as if about to burst forth.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the next moment he exerted his strength like a cheetah pouncing on its prey.
In an instant, his arms shot out to the sides with tremendous force, his fists slamming into the void with overwhelming power.
"Snap!!!"
In an instant, a muffled explosion, like a thunderclap, resounded in the inner bay, in Marineford, on the sea.
At the point of impact, the invisible air shattered as if it were solid glass.
Visible cracks spread outwards from the center of the fist.
The air vibrated, the sea vibrated, and the whole world seemed to be shaking.
Marineford was rocked by a massive earthquake, causing buildings to collapse and killing many of the naval logistics personnel.
The ocean trembled, instantly unleashing a tsunami thousands of meters high.
The naval vessels surrounding Marineford were overturned, collided, and exploded.
The naval soldiers on the warship were swept away by the tsunami as soon as they fell into the sea, letting out screams of agony.
A tsunami thousands of meters high appeared on both sides of Marineford, blotting out the sky and plunging Marineford into darkness.
The devastating tsunami caused some sailors to lose their sight, and their weapons unknowingly fell to the ground.
I had thought about how big the gap was between me and the world's strongest man, but I never imagined it would be this big.
"A tsunami? That's just like you, Whitebeard."
Sengoku frowned. If Aokiji were still alive, a mere tsunami would be nothing to worry about.
Frozen fruit, therefore, is not afraid of seawater.
It's too late to say anything now; we can only wait and see what the new general can achieve.
If they perform well, they will have secured a foothold in the Navy.
If he performs poorly, he may lose his position as a naval admiral after this battle.
Green Bull and Fujitora, who were sitting on the far two sides, stood up.
"Brother Fujitora, you block for me for a bit. Just watch my performance!"
Green Bull is quite confident; he has a way to deal with the tsunami.
Fujitora held the cane and sword in front of him, opened his long-blind eyes, and slowly pulled out the cane and sword.
A purple light appeared on the blade and shot towards the tsunami that was crashing down.
The tsunami crashed down with devastating force, but suddenly stopped as if it had hit an invisible barrier, almost flipping over.
The sailors caught in the tsunami were rescued one by one and gently placed on the ground.
"Is that the strength of a new Marine Admiral? Another Devil Fruit user, this one's really troublesome!"
The squad leader on the Moby Dick had a serious look in his eyes; the four new admirals in the navy were probably not just there for show.
Whitebeard remained calm. His purpose in creating the tsunami was to test the strength of the new Marine Admiral.
The green bull emitted a bright green light, bringing a ray of hope to Marineford, which had been shrouded in darkness by the tsunami.
"Big Tree Forest, rise!"
The ground shook again, and the outermost edge of Marineford shattered.
Immediately afterwards, dark shadows burst forth from the shattered ground, expanded, and joined together to form an indestructible wall.
Seeing this, Fujitora sheathed his staff and sword, dispersing the force of gravity.
The next moment, the tsunami crashed against the wooden wall. The trees bent, but they were very resilient and managed to withstand the impact.
Green Bull chuckled, then used his legs to propel himself up and charged towards Whitebeard.
"Whitebeard is nothing special!"
With a wave of his hands, the towering trees sprang up from the ground and crashed down towards the Moby Dick in the inner bay.
However, a figure engulfed in blue flames soared into the sky and hesitated before rushing toward the fallen trees.
"How could we allow you to disturb us so easily, Your Majesty!"
