"Boy, have you captured my son?!"
The domineering aura of Yoriichi Tsugakuni and Whitebeard collided in the void, and a strong hurricane swept out from the center of the street in Cheese Town to all directions.
Whitebeard held Kurogane-Kiri tightly in both hands, feeling the terrifying power transmitted back from the knife, and a flash of surprise flashed across his eyes.
He has become stronger. The kid in front of me has become much stronger.
Whitebeard could clearly feel this.
but
In his heart, Whitebeard didn't care whether Tsugikoku Yoriichi had become stronger or not. He was more concerned about the safety of his sons. Although his observation Haki was powerful, he had no way of sensing which of his sons were missing in a short period of time.
After hearing what Tsugakuin Yoshiichi said, Whitebeard subconsciously thought that his son was captured by Tsugakuin Yoshiichi, and did not think about anything else at all.
"Grasp?!"
“Why would I do something that wastes food?”
The power coming from Dawn gradually weakened, and Jigoku Yoshiichi's red hair flew wildly in the shock wave. Hearing Whitebeard's sudden question of such a naive nature, Jigoku Yoshiichi answered casually with a calm expression.
"Um?!"
When Whitebeard heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank. Thinking of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's attitude towards pirates, he felt something was wrong and his heart was suddenly filled with anger.
“You bastard!!”
"Who did you touch?"
Whitebeard suddenly became furious and let out a roar.
Amidst the roar, Whitebeard suddenly raised his sword with his right hand, quickly removing his left hand from the hilt and clenching it into a fist. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, signaling he had already activated the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
The next moment, Whitebeard swung his left fist and hit Jikoku Yoshiichi in front of him hard.
Ji Guoyuan held the sword with one arm, and the moment Whitebeard clenched his left fist, he had already sensed Whitebeard's move.
Just as Yoshikazu Tsugakuni was about to dodge away to avoid Whitebeard's attack, bursts of exclamations from the people came from the ruins not far away.
The strong shock wave generated by the battle between Yoriichi Tsugakuni and Whitebeard destroyed the streets, and countless people were buried in the rubble and debris.
On Yoriichi Tsugakuni's body, there are ordinary people on the island. If Yoriichi Tsugakuni dodges, Whitebeard's fruit ability will completely bombard the island.
Whitebeard's angry blow is enough to destroy the entire Milk Island.
The powerful observation Haki revealed a glimpse of the future to Yoshikazu Tsugumi. The cruel scene, which was like the end of the world, made Yoshikazu Tsugumi's expression gloomy.
The momentary hesitation and indecision completely deprived Tsugumi Yoshiichi of the chance to escape.
Whitebeard's fist suddenly hit Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's chest, and the space in front of him was like broken transparent glass, with cracks appearing in the space.
Whitebeard's physical strength combined with the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit suddenly struck Tsugikoku Yoriichi's body. Even though Tsugikoku Yoriichi used his Haki to protect his body in time, the terrifying attack still damaged his internal organs, and a trickle of deep red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Ji Guoyuanyi struggled to stand firm, and a ball of golden flame quickly condensed in the palm of his left hand.
“Boom!!!!”
The ground under Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's feet began to split rapidly the moment Whitebeard's fist hit him, and the cracks quickly extended into the distance. Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's body only paused for a moment before turning into a stream of red light, flying out and disappearing from Whitebeard's sight.
Just as Ji Guoyuan was flying backwards, a ball of golden flame was silently thrown into the air by Ji Guoyuan.
One punch split the island apart. Even though most of the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit hit Yoshikazu Tsugakuni's body, the aftermath still caused huge damage to Milk Island.
Looking down at Milk Island from the air, after Whitebeard's attack, a huge crack appeared on Milk Island, running through the entire island from the central town.
Whitebeard held the Kusunokiri in one hand and maintained his body in a punching position. After a successful strike, the anger in his heart subsided a little. He looked in the direction where Jigoku Yoshiichi flew away, and his face suddenly darkened.
In the distant sky, there was a golden fireball like a meteor from outer space, dragging a long tail of flame across the sky.
Whitebeard originally thought that this was a counterattack against him by Tsugikuni Yoshiichi, but in the blink of an eye, a ball of golden flame flew rapidly past Whitebeard's head.
The target of the attack was not Whitebeard who was in the middle of the street, but
"That guy's target is--" Whitebeard looked up at the direction where the golden fireball was flying, and his heart was immediately shocked. He flew away in the direction from which he came.
Not long after Whitebeard left, a red light quickly flew over from a distance. In a flash, Tsugikuni Yoshiichirō appeared where Whitebeard had stood before.
After being hit by Whitebeard's Bakujima, Yoshiichi Tsugikoshi seemed to be fine except for a trickle of dark blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He looked back at the ruins in the city, his figure flashed, and he immediately turned into a red light and disappeared on the spot.
The harbor of Milk Island.
The pirates on the Moby Dick had interrupted their banquet at this moment. Whitebeard's sudden departure made these battle-hardened pirates realize that something big had happened on the island.
After Whitebeard left, two terrifying domineering auras erupted from Milk Island, making the pirates' speculations come true.
At this time, the crew members gathered at the side of the ship, looking towards the center of the island, with more or less worry in their eyes.
Of course, they were full of confidence in their father's strength, but the other domineering aura that had burst out on the island before was also extremely terrifying.
Now they don’t know what happened on the island, and it is inevitable that they will feel a little worried because of the “unknown”.
"boom--"
At this moment, a loud noise was heard from the island, and the entire island shook violently at this moment. In the harbor, the originally calm sea surface also set off layers of waves at this moment.
The Moby Dick also shook violently in the sudden waves. Marco and others reacted quickly, holding on to the railing tightly to stabilize themselves, and then looked up at the center of the island.
"Hey, what's that?"
Suddenly, a crew member on the deck pointed at the distant sky and exclaimed. Everyone on the boat looked up and found that a golden light suddenly appeared in the clear sky. Although the golden light was not very obvious under the sunlight, as the light got closer, more and more people noticed the abnormality.
"Golden? Is it some special meteor?"
"Hey, hey, hey, it seems like they're coming towards us?"
"It's really coming towards us! Quickly evade the boat!!!"
Soon, the crew's curiosity turned into exclamations.
It wasn't until the golden light approached that the Whitebeard Pirates could see what it was. It wasn't a meteorite at all, but a golden fireball with a diameter of nearly 100 meters and a long tail of flame.
No one could have suspected the horrific consequences that would result if a fireball like that landed on the ship.
The huge Moby Dick would probably be destroyed by that fireball.
"ju——"
A shrill sound came from the sky, and the golden fireball seemed to have lost its forward momentum. It drew a golden arc in the air and actually fell straight towards the Moby Dick.
"hateful!!"
The fireball fell at a very fast speed. Although the Moby Dick successfully raised its sails, it was unable to increase its speed and had no way to avoid such an attack.
Marco glanced at the slow-moving ship and the golden fireball flying in the sky. He immediately made up his mind and his hands instantly transformed into a pair of blue wings. Then he spread the wings and flew directly towards the falling golden fireball.
"Blue Flame Goose!!"
Marco's figure soared into the air, blocking the flight path of the golden fireball. Feeling a strong throbbing in his heart, Marco did not rashly use his body to block the attack. Instead, he spread his wings, and two blue-green flames condensed from his wings, which sprayed directly towards the descending golden fireball.
"boom!!!!"
The phoenix's flames instantly bombarded the golden fireball, and the powerful impact force actually succeeded in slowing down the falling golden fireball.
But this slight slowdown is simply a drop in the bucket.
What surprised Marco even more was that under the burning of the golden flame, the Phoenix Flame he released was actually being rapidly melted away.
In front of that golden flame, even the flame of the phoenix can be burned clean!
"How is this possible?!"
Marco had never encountered such a thing before. While he was surprised, the fire barrier he released was broken through.
In a breath, the golden fireball had already descended on Marco's head.
"It's over."
The sudden change left Marco in the air with no way to escape. Looking at the descending golden flames, Marco's face was dejected and his heart was filled with despair.
"Even if I were hit by such an attack, there would be no way I could escape unscathed."
Marco thought so.
"Crack--" Just when Marco was about to be swallowed by the golden fireball, a slight sound suddenly occurred in the air.
The next moment, a strong vibration instantly enveloped the space above Marco's head.
“Boom!!!!”
A golden fireball with a diameter of one hundred meters exploded without any warning in front of Marco's astonished eyes, and the shattered wisps of golden flames fell into the sea on the right side of the ship.
A violent hurricane blew over Marco's head, and he couldn't help but put his hands up to shield his eyes. When the hurricane died down and Marco lowered his arms, there was no trace of the golden fireball above his head!
Marco, who was a little dazed, came back to his senses and looked towards the distant beach. He found that Whitebeard, who had entered the town with a knife, had returned to the coast. He was slowly retracting his fist and looking at Marco, who survived the disaster, with a gentle gaze.
“Dad!!!”
When Marco saw Whitebeard's figure, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.
But the look of surprise only lasted for a few seconds, and Marco's face turned into a look of deep fear.
"Dad! Behind, behind!!!"
Marco let out an angry roar, reminding Whitebeard who was standing on the beach at this time. However, Whitebeard standing on the beach seemed to be unaware of it at all.
The figure of Yoshikazu Tsugakuni suddenly appeared behind Whitebeard like a ghost. He gently thrust the long sword in his hand towards Whitebeard in front of him and stabbed him in the vest.
"Hmm?"
Tsugikuni Yoriichi's aura has already merged with nature. The fact that he did not use Haki when drawing his sword also allowed Yoriichi to easily avoid Whitebeard's observation Haki.
The slight vibration in the air finally alerted Whitebeard, and he subconsciously tilted his body slightly.
"laugh--"
A strong stinging sensation came from his body, and Whitebeard felt the pain, but his reaction was not slow at all. He turned around quickly and swung the sword in his hand behind him.
Facing Whitebeard's attack, Yoriichi Tsugakuni was no match for him and jumped back lightly to avoid Whitebeard's slash.
It was not until this time that Whitebeard completely confirmed that Tsugikuni Yoshiichirō had actually appeared behind him and attacked him with a knife.
A stinging sensation came from his chest and back. Whitebeard lowered his head slightly and found that there was a penetrating wound on his chest from his back to his chest. Blood was oozing out of the wound.
Although the heart was avoided at the last moment,
Facing such a powerful enemy as Tsugikuni Yoriichi, Whitebeard, who was so seriously injured, could basically be sentenced to death.
After dodging Whitebeard's attack, Ji Guoyuan landed lightly on the beach. He swung the long sword in his hand lightly, shaking off the blood on the blade.
With the help of the transparent world, Ji Guoyuan glanced at the wound on Whitebeard's body, held the long sword across his chest, and prepared to continue the attack.
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi, why did you attack my son?"
Just when Tsugakuin Yoshiichi was about to continue his attack, Whitebeard suddenly asked.
This has always troubled Whitebeard. There should be no conflict between him and the wanted criminal Yoriichi Tsugakuni. Yoriichi Tsugakuni should not kill his son.
"?"
"Isn't it the Navy's job to hunt down pirates?"
"Do I need to tell you what a scum like Bramanque did?"
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi swung his long sword horizontally and charged straight at Whitebeard. Whitebeard's devil fruit ability was extremely terrifying. If the battle lasted a long time, the island would be destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of people on the island would be buried with the pirates. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi needed to kill Whitebeard at the lowest cost!
"Bramanque."
"Did you kill him?"
When Whitebeard heard this name from Yoriichi Tsugikuni's mouth, his expression darkened, and then his eyes revealed a violent rage.
There was really no need for Yoshiichi Tsugikuni to tell him what Bramanc had done.
But so what?
"Bramanque is my son! If you kill him, he will become the enemy of our Whitebeard Pirates!"
Although Whitebeard was seriously injured, his momentum did not diminish at all. He let out a loud roar, grabbed the knife with both hands, and slashed fiercely at the attacking Tsugikoku Yoshi.
As the attack approached, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi suddenly paused, flipped forward, and pressed his left hand lightly on the blade of the Kusugawa Kris. Then he leaped up and instantly arrived on top of Whitebeard's head, swinging the knife at Whitebeard.
Tsugakuni Yoriichi's observation Haki can reveal a glimpse of the future for him. And having reached the state of no self, Tsugakuni Yoriichi can eliminate his own aura, making Whitebeard's observation Haki unaware.
Facing such a Tsugakuni Yoshiichi, Whitebeard had no way of predicting what Tsugakuni Yoshiichi would do next, and could only counter his moves. However, if he did so, Whitebeard would only be at a disadvantage in the battle with Tsugakuni Yoshiichi.
Tsugakuni Yoshiichi attacked with his long sword, and Sokumokiri had no time to retreat to defend. Whitebeard could only attack with his fists, using the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to resist Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's attack.
The long sword in Yuanyi's hand suddenly shook, and there was a faint sign that it would slip out of his hand.
In fact, no matter how tightly Tsugumi Yuichiro held the knife, it was actually useless. The feeling of the knife slipping out of his hand could not be solved by holding it tightly. On the contrary, the tighter he held it, the harder it was to hold the knife firmly.
This is another application of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, short-frequency super-shock.
Tsugakuin Yoshiichi frowned slightly, quickly withdrew his strength and flew backward. Just as he left Whitebeard, a tall figure quickly attacked Tsugakuin Yoshiichi from above his head.
Captain of the 5th Division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Flower Sword Vista.
Whitebeard's reinforcements have arrived.
