A terrifying aura emanated from Whitebeard's body, and the ground beneath his feet began to shake violently.
The people of Cheese Town could clearly feel the shaking on the ground at this moment. Those who had been hiding in their homes hurriedly ran out of the rooms, each with a look of fear on their face.
The vibration spread to the sea, and the wind and waves above the harbor began to grow stronger and stronger.
Yoshikazu Tsugakuni stood in the encirclement of the Whitebeard Pirates, feeling the vibration coming from under his feet, and couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Fortunately, the infrastructure in Cheese Town is not very developed, and the houses where residents live are all wooden bungalows. According to Jiguo Yuanyi's observation Haki, although several houses collapsed in the town, no casualties were caused.
But the people cannot always be so lucky. If Whitebeard is allowed to make trouble on the island, large numbers of people will be affected by the battle between him and Whitebeard.
The so-called when gods fight, mortals suffer.
It can also be applied in current scenarios.
Just leave now?
Maybe this is the best choice at the moment.
However, allowing pirates to freely enter and exit the world was obviously not something Tsukuni Yoshiichi could accept. Whitebeard's crew was complicated, so what kind of personal moral qualities could he expect from the pirates? Tsukuni Yoshiichi was not naive enough to do that.
Whitebeard's sons carry the name of Whitebeard and cause quite a stir in this world.
The property that Whitebeard used to support his hometown was not earned by people like them through hard work.
Moreover, it is difficult to say how much the so-called support was actually paid, because after so many years, Whitebeard's hometown is still the most primitive agricultural society. Even if those people really received a lot of wealth from the Whitebeard Pirates, they actually had no place to use it.
The existence of the Whitebeard Pirates is more about maintaining the "order" of his territory.
What's the saying? Even the most chaotic order is better than no order at all.
It is a misfortune in itself for ordinary people to live in the world of pirates, and living in the new world in the second half of the Grand Line is even more of a misfortune.
In the New World where the World Government and the Navy have no way to exert influence, the Whitebeard Pirates have become a "refuge" instead.
So
Is the existence of the Whitebeard Pirates a benefit or a disadvantage for Yoriichi Tsugakuni and his new navy?
In fact, for Yuichiro Tsugikuni, he only needs to think about this clearly, and the inner entanglement will no longer exist, and all problems can be solved.
If it were four or five years ago, the existence of the Whitebeard Pirates would be beneficial to Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
Because after the Whitebeard Pirates disappear, the "order" they guard will no longer exist, and pirates more vicious than the Whitebeard Pirates will fill that part of the "power vacuum."
But now
Everything is different now.
Naturally, Tsugikuni Yoriichi and his new navy found a way to fill the power vacuum left by the disappearance of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Whitebeard's personal terrifying deterrent power
Yuichiro Tsugikoku also exists!
"Whitebeard, I've already given you the chance!"
"Since you're planning on making a scene, I'll accompany you!"
Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Whitebeard, Ji Guoyuan, whose body was covered in golden flames, also looked gloomy.
He had already made a decision in his heart.
Yuanyi swung the long sword in his hand, and his figure instantly turned into a golden stream of light. He instantly broke through the encirclement of the Whitebeard Pirate Team captains and shot towards Marco and Whitebeard behind Thatch.
Whitebeard's fruit power is terrifying, but while his sons are still on the island, now is the best opportunity to kill Whitebeard.
Whitebeard would probably be concerned about the safety of his sons and would not be able to launch a large-scale attack.
“Dad!”
Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's sudden action caused all the captains on the beach to exclaim in surprise.
Whitebeard's eyes tried to follow Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's figure. Hearing his sons' exclamations, Whitebeard's face darkened slightly and he shouted:
"I'm Whitebeard!"
"Don't underestimate me, you bastard!"
The shaking of the earth became more intense. Whitebeard spotted where Yuichi Tsugakuin was and punched him directly.
Tiny cracks flashed in the air, and a strong vibration created a wave in the air, which flew towards Ji Guoyuan in mid-air.
“Bang—”
Although it looked as if nothing had happened, a low, muffled sound suddenly emanated from mid-air. The golden light that was flying towards Whitebeard suddenly stopped, and Tsugikuni Yoriichi reappeared before everyone.
Marco, standing in front of Whitebeard, noticed that there was a sudden distortion of space in front of Yoshikazu Tsugakuin's waist and abdomen. That part of Yoshikazu Tsugakuin's body was already empty, and around the hole, golden flames were burning.
"Success?!"
When Marco saw this scene, he was delighted, but the smile on his face only lasted for a moment before it froze on Marco's face.
Ji Guoyuan, who was forced out of the air by Whitebeard, paused slightly, and swung the long sword in his hand lightly. The golden flames suddenly turned into golden rockets, falling rapidly towards Whitebeard and others.
Dense golden arrows instantly dyed the sky above Whitebeard and others golden.
"Huh, is that all it is?!"
Marco and Thatch looked up at the golden rockets that obscured the sky, feeling a strong sense of powerlessness. At that moment, their vision blurred, and Whitebeard's towering figure appeared before them.
“Click—”
Whitebeard held the Kusukume-kiri in his hand and swung the sword towards the sky. The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was activated again, and a powerful shock wave shot quickly towards the sky. The rockets that filled the entire sky were suddenly cut open by Whitebeard's attack.
“Boom boom boom boom—”
Immediately afterwards, the golden rocket fell to the ground, splashing sparks.
The beach was covered with golden flames, but only the area dozens of meters around Whitebeard, Marco and others was empty, and no golden arrows fell around them.
Whitebeard easily downplayed the terrifying attack of Yoshikazu Tsugakuni.
In the sky, the fire net woven by golden rockets disappeared. Whitebeard, Marco and others looked up, but saw that there was no trace of Tsugikuni Yoriichi in the sky.
"Where's that guy? Where did he go?"
Marco looked at the empty sky and couldn't help but murmur in confusion.
Whitebeard also looked up at the sky intently. Unable to find the figure of Jiguo Yuan, he suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart. His sixth sense drove Whitebeard to quickly turn his head and look towards the port.
There, the crew members of his Whitebeard Pirates were rushing towards the coast. They should have arrived long ago, but due to the influence of Whitebeard's ability, the wind and waves on the sea became stronger, making it a little difficult for them to sail.
"Buzz—"
Just as Whitebeard turned his head to look at his sons who were landing in the harbor, a low buzzing sound was heard in the sky.
The next moment, a black slash nearly a hundred meters long and more than ten meters wide suddenly pierced through the clouds. Like a divine punishment, it fell rapidly from the sky and landed towards the pirate ship on the sea.
"Hurry, row faster and go ashore to help Dad!"
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi actually dared to provoke our Whitebeard Pirates. We absolutely cannot let him go!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Blackbeard Teach and five or six of his companions took a small boat together. After getting off the Moby Dick, they quickly headed towards the beach not far away.
Near him, there were many companions sailing, and all kinds of shouting filled the entire harbor.
Teach has genuine respect for Whitebeard. Although he is ambitious, these two things do not conflict with each other.
Young Teach already had a goal in life: the Dark-Dark Fruit, once possessed by Rocks, the "King of the World." Teach had already decided that if he could obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit, he would leave Whitebeard and pursue his own dreams.
But if he has no fate with the Dark-Dark Fruit, then he will just be Whitebeard's son.
Being a "carefree" pirate under the protection of the "strongest man in the world" is a very comfortable life, isn't it?
In all his time with the Whitebeard Pirates, Teach had never encountered any real danger. After Roger's death, no one on this sea could be Whitebeard's opponent!
But today was the first time that Blackbeard felt death was so close to him!
"Buzz—"
The black slash fell from the sky and instantly sank into the sea.
The small boat blocking the front of the slash was instantly shattered into pieces by this black slash, and the crew on the boat instantly turned into blood mist and mixed with the sea water.
A terrifying trench appeared on the sea surface, with seawater pouring down and pulling the surrounding ships.
The small boat that Blackbeard Teach was riding on was only a dozen meters away from the trench that was blasted out by the slash. Teach watched with his own eyes as his companions disappeared without a trace under the slash, leaving no trace of their bodies.
Slowly raising his head, Tiqi looked at the golden figure above the clouds. He felt his scalp tingling, his body was cold, and cold sweat broke out.
At this moment, the hands holding the oars were completely out of control, paddling frantically, trying to escape from the sea.
Go to the island?
There is no such thought in Teach's mind now. He just wants to leave here, return to the ship safely, and then leave Wan Guo!
Teach had never felt his life so fragile.
He knew very well that if that blow landed on his head, he would definitely die.
The sudden slash on the sea surface attracted everyone's attention. Whitebeard saw with his own eyes that so many of his sons were killed. For a moment, his eyes were bloodshot and turned red.
"Leave, everyone leave!"
"Get back to the boat, everyone, get back to the boat!"
Whitebeard roared and shouted loudly to the pirates on the sea.
"Then Muir, send them all back!!!"
Whitebeard thought of his fishman "son", and thought that his son could help other crew members to the greatest extent, so he immediately named him.
However.
The sea was still rough, but Muir did not stick his head out to talk.
Above the clouds, the sharp-eyed and sharp-eared Jiguo Yuanyi heard Whitebeard's roar, and glanced indifferently at the trench he had cut below, and then his eyes fell on Whitebeard.
That Muir?
Who do you think I was going to kill with my slash just now?!
After failing to kill Whitebeard, Yoriichi Tsugakuni immediately changed his target after blocking Whitebeard's vision with golden rockets covering the sky.
He aimed at the fishman from the White Group who had attacked him in the sea. For a person with special abilities like Tsugikuni Yoriichi, it would be best to eliminate such a threat as soon as possible.
Yoriichi did not choose to destroy the Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick. If he did so, the pirates who had lost their ship would fight to the death and rush to the island. If they broke into the town at that time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Leaving the ships behind will make the pirates think they have a way out, and they will not fight to the death.
and
If the pirates thought that everything would be fine once they got on the ship and that they could leave the country smoothly, they were wrong.
It's just a mobile coffin on the sea.
As long as Whitebeard can be killed, Ji Guoyuan can bury the coffin of the Moby Dick at sea whenever he wants!
After Ji Guoyuan killed Namur and the pirates one by one with his sword, he did not stop for a moment.
The blazing flames enveloped Ji Guoyuan's entire body, forming a huge fireball.
Under the gaze of Whitebeard and others, the golden fireball in the sky suddenly exploded, and a golden phoenix flew out from it.
The golden phoenix spread its wings slightly, and the sunlight was blocked by the huge wings.
Under the astonished gaze of the Whitebeard Pirates, golden fireballs condensed from the wings of the Phoenix and continuously fell towards the harbor.
“!!!!”
"Hurry, run!!!"
The pirates on the boats at the harbor looked up at the scene in the sky, their faces horrified, their roars of terror echoing incessantly. The pirates paddled their boats quickly, trying to escape the range of the rain of fire.
“That bastard!!!”
When Whitebeard on the beach saw this scene, his face turned gloomy. After growling and cursing, he had no intention of standing idly by.
If he had not taken action, few of his sons would have been able to survive such a devastating rain of fire.
It was not until this time that Whitebeard had a certain understanding of the terrifying destructive power of Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
If Tsugakuni Yoshiichi was just a great swordsman with outstanding domineering power and superb swordsmanship, he would respect him, but he would not be afraid of him.
but
Now that he has become the ability user Yoriichi Tsugakuni, it is no longer possible to describe him with simple words like "powerful".
Tsugikuni Yoriichi truly possesses the power to control the world.
Whitebeard didn't know what kind of power the "liberation fighter" that Roger mentioned who could bring laughter to the world possessed.
What Whitebeard knew was that Tsugikuni Yoriichi was a formidable enemy that he needed to be extremely vigilant against.
If they cannot adjust their mindset, they may not be able to leave the world smoothly.
"boom--"
Fire rain fell, and rumbling sounds came from the sky.
Whitebeard took a deep breath, tightened his hands around the Kusukimi, and let out a low cry: "Ho!!!"
Invisible vibrations were released.
In Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's sight, he only saw a distortion in the space above the sea, and the golden fireball falling towards the harbor actually changed direction and flew out towards the distant sea.
Above the inner harbor, it seemed as if Whitebeard had erected an invisible barrier, protecting all pirates sailing on the sea.
Even Yoriichi Tsugakuni, who was hovering in the air, was affected by this vibration. Moving in the air was like swimming in mud, with a very obvious sense of obstruction.
The feathers of the golden phoenix trembled slightly, and the moment it returned to normal, it soared into the sky, quickly ascended, and disappeared into the clouds.
"boom--"
And just at the moment the phoenix disappeared, a loud roar was heard from the clouds above the beach.
That sound was like rolling thunder.
Whitebeard looked up and saw a golden phoenix breaking through the clouds and swooping down towards him.
"I am the strongest in the world"
"Whitebeard!!!"
Looking at the huge phoenix swooping down, Whitebeard thrust the Kusugano into the ground, quickly grabbed Marco and Thatch beside him, and threw them towards the Moby Dick in the distance.
Amid the exclamations of his sons, Whitebeard took the sword in his hand again, his domineering aura gathered on the blade, and he suddenly grinned wildly and leaped towards the golden phoenix in the air.
