"Escaped?!"
"Whitebeard is out of trouble?!"
The movement near the ruins of the execution platform attracted everyone's attention. The navy officers in the battle noticed this scene and couldn't help but look in the direction of Whitebeard. After seeing Whitebeard without any restraints on his body, the navy officers at headquarters couldn't help but exclaimed.
White beard.
The legendary pirate known as the strongest man in the world, most of the navy actually do not have a clear and direct understanding of this man's power.
But the legend about Whitebeard is so widely spread in this sea.
People have a fear ingrained in their hearts about Whitebeard's existence.
Everyone knew that Whitebeard was the one who could truly influence the course of this war. No matter how great an advantage their navy had accumulated before, once Whitebeard broke free and launched a counterattack against the navy, all their previously accumulated advantages would eventually vanish.
Sakaski on the battlefield no longer had the time to help his subordinates fight against the cadres of the Whitebeard Group. He no longer paid attention to the opponent who was so close to him. Almost at the same time when Borsalino attacked Whitebeard, his lower body had turned into magma, and his body soared into the sky, and then fell rapidly in the direction of Whitebeard.
"How did things turn out like this?!"
"Kaido, the beast who has been missing for many years, and Charlotte Linlin, who should have been killed by Yoriichi Tsugikuni, how come these two people suddenly appeared in Marinford?!"
Sakaski actually had many doubts in his mind at this time, but unfortunately, no one could answer this question in his heart.
"ju——"
Borsalino turned into a golden stream of light and flew through the air. With a sharp scream that reached everyone's ears, Borsalino also rushed to the front of Whitebeard at a high speed and kicked Whitebeard's chest directly with a "light speed kick".
Borsalino's position is indeed not firm. Between the three forces of the World Government, the Navy, and Tsugakuni Yoriichi's new navy, many of the admiral's actions are actually quite vague.
But one thing is certain.
That is, Borsalino has a very firm stance on the issue of pirates.
Since a big pirate like Whitebeard has been captured by their navy, they absolutely cannot allow him to leave Marineford upright.
Borsalino, who had not given his all before, no longer had any intention of slacking off at this moment.
“Gulala--”
"Lingling, I won't thank you at all!"
"But now that I'm out of trouble, I'll take you and that Kaido brat away safely!"
Whitebeard clenched his fists and a bright smile appeared on his face.
As he spoke, Whitebeard moved swiftly, launching a punch directly at the incoming Borsalino. The golden light that shot towards Whitebeard suddenly hovered in mid-air the moment he swung his fist, and the powerful vibration instantly filled the entire space in front of Whitebeard.
Borsalino's figure was actually forced out of the elemental state by Whitebeard's ability.
“Click—”
Suddenly, a slight sound was heard in the void, and dense cracks spread out in all directions.
The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit actually affected the Spark-Spark Fruit.
"Bang!!!"
Borsalino obviously didn't expect something like this to happen. After being forced out of the elemental state, he couldn't even dodge and was directly hit hard in the chest by Whitebeard's punch.
The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit completely erupted from Borsalino's body, and the earth began to shake violently. The land suddenly split at this moment, and the bottomless crack in the ground quickly spread towards the building of the Navy Headquarters in the distance.
The entire city of Marineford was affected by Whitebeard's devil fruit ability at this moment. Many buildings on the island could not withstand Whitebeard's power and turned into ruins. Marineford, which had been the result of the hard work of countless people in the navy for hundreds of years, was directly split in two by Whitebeard.
Borsalino's chest collapsed, and his figure turned into a golden stream of light and flew backwards, disappearing from everyone's sight in an instant.
After a punch knocked Borsalino away, a scorching breath suddenly poured down from the sky.
Whitebeard looked up and saw Sakaski swinging a giant lava fist and smashing it down at him.
"Magma Imp."
There was a hint of contempt in Whitebeard's eyes, but his hands did not slow down at all. He threw a backhand punch directly into the air.
The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit exploded, and Sakaski in mid-air only felt his body shaken, and the giant lava fist he blasted out actually shattered directly, and there was no way he could get close to Whitebeard at all.
Just as Whitebeard was about to stand up and give the "lava imp" a heavy punch, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, which made him pause.
Whitebeard quickly glanced at the part of his body where the pain came from, and found that the wound left in the previous battle with Yoshikazu Tsugakuni had now broken open again, and blood was oozing out from the snow-white bandage.
Although a lot of time had passed since the battle with Tsugikuni Yoriichi, and some minor wounds had long since healed, the penetrating wound that pierced Whitebeard's body was taking a long time to heal.
"Whitebeard!"
Before Whitebeard could distract himself and carefully check his injuries, a loud shout suddenly reached his ears.
Whitebeard quickly returned his mind to the battlefield. He turned quickly and reached forward with both hands.
“Bang!!”
Garp suddenly appeared on Whitebeard's body, his large hands tightly grasping Whitebeard's. The two men's terrifying domineering auras instantly collided with each other, thunder roared, and the terrifying domineering aura formed a terrifying shock wave, bombarding some nearby navy bodies.
Under the domineering aura of the two, even the elite of the navy could hardly remain conscious under such a domineering aura. Large numbers of navy soldiers were affected by this domineering aura and lost consciousness.
On the battlefield, Garp and Whitebeard's muscles bulged, and they grabbed each other's hands and started wrestling.
Whitebeard, who was larger in stature, was unable to suppress Garp, who was older than him, in terms of pure physical strength and domineering power. He released his strength and domineering power without reservation, but was unable to overturn Garp.
"I haven't seen you for a few years. You've lost your way so quickly!"
Whitebeard's feet were rooted to the ground. During the struggle with Garp, the ground beneath their feet could not bear the weight and broke apart, forming several deep pits. Whitebeard's face flushed slightly, and the veins on his neck and body muscles were exposed, like dragons.
Although he had already put all his strength into it, Whitebeard still pretended to be indifferent and laughed at Garp in front of him.
This is not the first time he and Garp have fought each other, and Whitebeard has a deep understanding of Garp's strength.
Compared to the terrifying power of the other party at his peak, Garp is now on the decline.
"Hahaha!!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly decline?!"
"As for you, are you okay?"
"The wounds Yunyi left on you weren't easy to come by, right? I guess they had a significant impact on you, right?"
"Just surrender yourself, and I'll consider letting your sons go!"
Garp's appearance at this moment was actually exactly the same as Whitebeard's. At this moment, the bulging muscles on Garp's body had already broken his shirt, and even his loose military pants were now stretched tightly by his muscles.
However, Garp's health condition was much better than Whitebeard's. He started to exert force while speaking, and actually pushed Whitebeard's hands back little by little.
While exerting his strength, Garp even had enough energy to retort to Whitebeard.
"Do you take me for a three-year-old?!"
The opponent's strength gradually increased. Whitebeard muttered a response, then silently closed his mouth and began to concentrate on the response. In just a few seconds, the blood-stained area on the bandages on Whitebeard's chest and back quickly spread, becoming larger and larger.
Garp's power had clearly declined since his peak, but wasn't Whitebeard the same? He was even declining faster than Garp, despite his alcoholism and his lack of restraint. Coupled with Whitebeard's injuries, he knew he couldn't fight a protracted battle.
The most urgent thing is to leave the Navy Headquarters as soon as possible.
Whitebeard didn't want his sons to continue to be trapped in the dangerous quagmire of war.
The feeling of weakness coming from his body made Whitebeard frown. He changed his moves in advance, and without losing strength in his arms, Whitebeard's feet moved quickly and tripped over Garp's legs at a high speed.
However, Garp's reaction was also very fast. At the same time when Whitebeard kicked, the strength in Garp's arms suddenly loosened, and the forward force quickly turned into pulling backward, and at the same time, Garp's body also quickly fell back.
“!!!”
The sudden change left Whitebeard with no time to recover, and he couldn't stop himself from falling forward. Garp, holding onto his hands, laid on his back and swiftly kicked Whitebeard in the stomach.
As Whitebeard flew forward in the air, he felt a strong pulling force on his arms. The heavy blow to his abdomen also drained away the strength of his arms. Whitebeard, who had no ability to resist, was directly grabbed by Garp's arms and thrown to the ground.
"boom!!!!"
Whitebeard's body smashed a big hole in the ground. Garp loosened his left hand, grabbed Whitebeard's arm tightly with his right hand and pressed it towards Whitebeard's back. When he was about to fly and ride on Whitebeard's neck to completely suppress Whitebeard, a figure rushed towards Garp at a rapid speed.
"Let go of Bai Xiaoji!"
The roar reached Garp's ears. At this moment, his attention was focused on Whitebeard, and he was a beat slow to react to the attack.
But this fleeting opportunity was accurately grasped by Kozuki Oden.
"Oden's Two-Sword Style: Mimic Demon!"
Kozuki Oden thrust forward, stabbing Garp's chest with both swords. Seeing that he could no longer avoid Kozuki Oden's attack, Garp's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he grabbed Oden's swords with both hands.
The charging Kozuki Oden flew over Whitebeard's body with Garp, and the next moment Garp grabbed the sword with both hands, the two long swords pierced Garp's chest.
"puff--"
Blood flowed from Garp's body, and his chest on both sides was obviously stabbed through by Oden, but Garp's reaction speed was fast enough to avoid the vital points.
In mid-air, Oden tried to draw his sword and change his moves, but Garp held Oden's blade tightly with both hands and did not let Oden draw his sword at all.
“!!!”
Oden, who noticed this, showed a little surprise on his face, but Garp in front of him, despite being seriously injured, actually showed a bright smile.
"Well done, Samurai!!!"
Garp gave his approval to Kozuki Oden's attack. In Oden's astonished eyes, Garp suddenly grabbed the knife with both hands and thrust it towards his chest. Kozuki Oden couldn't help but lean forward under the influence of this force. The next moment, Garp's head hit his face hard.
“Bang!!!”
A terrifying force came towards him, and Oden only felt a sharp pain on his face, his head was buzzing, and he became a little dizzy.
After a successful strike, Garp grabbed the knife with both hands and quickly pulled it away from his body. While Oden was still a little confused, he quickly clamped Oden's waist with his feet, and his fists immediately turned into a storm, rushing towards Kozuki Oden's face.
“Boom boom boom boom!!”
The figures of Garp and Oden fell rapidly from the air. Garp's fists landed on Oden's face one after another. Garp's crazy attack affected the injury in his chest. The severe pain not only failed to stop Garp's actions, but instead completely aroused his ferocity.
In just a few seconds, Kozuki Oden's face was a mess of blood and flesh. Under Garp's attack, Oden tried to raise his hands to resist, but it was useless. In front of the ferocious Garp, Oden had no strength to resist and could only use domineering to protect his body.
However, under Garp's continuous attacks, it is hard to say whether Oden's defensive armament domineering can play a big role.
Gradually, Oden's brain became more and more dizzy.
Seeing that Oden was about to be beaten to death by Garp, Whitebeard finally flew to Garp's side and punched Garp directly in the waist, knocking Garp, who was riding on Oden and hitting him madly, out.
On the battlefield, things change rapidly.
When the navy saw Garp's fierce fighting posture, they were briefly stunned, but were also infected by Garp's fearlessness. Seeing their own "navy hero" being knocked away, the navy not only did not retreat in fear because of the pirate's strength, but instead their blood boiled and they rushed towards the opponent with roars.
Sadness, like anger, can make humans unleash their physical potential!
The navy officers, who were filled with grief and anger, exuded an aura that even the members of the Whitebeard Pirates could not help but feel fear.
"Hey, Oden, are you okay?!"
After knocking Garp away, Whitebeard half-knelt beside Oden and asked with concern.
With blurred vision, Kozuki Oden tried hard to see Whitebeard's figure, and forced a smile on his swollen face, and then fell into coma.
"Let's walk home."
Seeing this, Whitebeard muttered to himself and silently picked up Oden's body and carried it on his shoulders.
Oden's physical strength and Haki were very strong, and his body was even able to withstand the "God's Escape" from Pirate King Roger. However, as strong as Oden was, he was actually knocked unconscious by Garp, which shows the extent of the blow Oden suffered.
Now the pirate camp has gradually stabilized its position, and the navy's defense lines are being broken through by pirates.
If Whitebeard is willing, he only needs to work with Kaido, Charlotte Linlin and a group of cadres to hold back the senior leaders of the navy, and his sons will be able to deal a fatal blow to the headquarters of the navy.
But for some reason, Whitebeard had a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart. He had no intention of seeking revenge on the navy. All he wanted was to take the children and leave here as soon as possible.
"Sons, retreat!!!"
Whitebeard's roar instantly spread across the entire battlefield. The pirates, whose sole purpose was to rescue Whitebeard, erupted in cheers upon hearing this.
Seeing that Whitebeard was actually planning to leave, the navy's offensive became more fierce, but their efforts seemed a little ridiculous in front of these pirates.
Whitebeard carried Oden and soon reunited with his sons. Kaido and Big Mom, who were fighting with Sengoku, Crane and Sakaski, sneered when they heard Whitebeard's words. Although they were reluctant, they still chose to retreat together.
They are not fools. They know that without the people from Baituan, they will be in danger.
On the battlefield, the crowd surged, and the pirates left the battlefield one after another, preparing to evacuate.
However, just as the pirates retreated to the coast one after another, a golden light suddenly streaked across the distant sky.
After just a few breaths, the meteor actually fell towards Marinford and hit the land on the coast directly.
“Boom!!!!”
