Chapter 104: The White-Bearded Man's Choice

At this moment, Madara's voice echoed across the battlefield: "What's wrong? Weren't you going to go all out to kill me?"

Before his voice fell, Madara exerted force suddenly, and the huge blade in Susanoo's hand abruptly lifted upward.

"What?!"

Sengoku's pupils shrank suddenly, but it was too late. His hands were still tightly gripping the huge blade, and it was already too late to let go; the enormous force instantly flung him into the air.

"Boom!"

Sengoku's huge body was thrown into the sky like a kite with a broken string, the golden-light-shining Buddha image tumbling in midair.

Susanoo's giant arm followed closely, heavily striking Sengoku in midair.

"Bang!"

Amidst the dull impact sound, Sengoku's body smashed toward the distance like a shell, plowing a long trench on the ground, raising dust that covered the sky.

"Cough cough." Sengoku struggled to crawl up from the ruins, a trace of fresh blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

Madara walked slowly toward Garp and the other four, the blue radiance of Susanoo flowing around his body.

His eyes flashed with an excited light, as if looking forward to a more intense battle.

"Come, keep dancing!"

Anger burned in Garp's eyes, and he struck first. His fist wrapped in black Armament Haki roared toward Madara's face like a shell leaving the barrel.

"Hah!"

Garp roared, his fist wind howling.

Akainu followed closely behind, scalding magma surging from his arm, transforming into a roaring fire dragon pouncing toward Madara.

Aokiji and Kizaru were not to be outdone, freezing cold and light intertwining into an airtight net, enveloping Madara.

However, at the moment when the four people's attacks were about to hit, those four invisible shadows appeared again.

Their speed was astonishingly fast, and in the blink of an eye they blocked in front of Madara.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Four loud bangs sounded almost simultaneously, and Garp and the others' attacks were all blocked by those invisible clones.

"This move again!" Garp was startled in his heart.

However, Garp's figure did not pause in the slightest; only to see his figure flicker, suddenly changing moves, his iron fist covered in Armament Haki like lightning straight toward the head of that invisible shadow.

"Die!" Garp roared, unleashing a full-strength strike.

However, the next second Garp's fist actually passed directly through that invisible shadow, as if striking empty space.

"What?!" Garp widened his eyes.

Seeing this, Madara Uchiha curled the corner of his mouth into a smile: "I didn't expect you could actually perceive the Rinnegan Border Hell; you do have some skill."

He paused, then continued: "But the true Rinnegan Border Hell exists in another space; your attacks can never reach it!"

Before his voice fell, four invisible shadows attacked again, arriving before the four people in the blink of an eye.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Four dull impact sounds rang out almost simultaneously. Garp, Aokiji, and Kizaru were instantly sent flying, their bodies drawing long arcs in the air.

Akainu was heavily struck by the Limbo Clone, his body flying violently backward.

But at this critical moment, his right hand plunged into the ground like lightning, his five fingers sinking deep into the hard rock.

"Ugh!" Akainu grunted, his muscles tensing, veins bulging, actually forcibly stopping his retreat.

"Don't underestimate us Marines!" Akainu roared as he charged toward Madara Uchiha again.

He clenched both fists, magma flowing down along his arms, leaving a scalding trace on the ground.

"Great Eruption!"

Scorching magma like a roaring fire dragon howled toward Madara. Wherever it passed, the air twisted, and rocks melted instantly.

This strike came with great momentum, causing even Madara to narrow his eyes, his expression turning serious.

At the moment the magma was about to hit, the huge wings behind Susanoo suddenly unfolded.

"Whoosh!"

A sudden gale rose, and Susanoo's huge body actually rose from the ground instantly, soaring into the sky at an unbelievable speed.

Akainu's magma brushed past Susanoo's heel as it howled past, striking the ground in the distance and raising a sea of fire.

"What?!" Akainu widened his eyes, watching Susanoo in the air in disbelief.

However, Madara's counterattack came even faster. The huge sword in Susanoo's hand stabbed downward like lightning, the sword tip pointing directly at Akainu.

"Careful!" Sengoku's angry shout pierced the long sky, but it was already too late.

The huge sword howled down like a meteor from beyond the sky.

"Boom!"

A deafening huge sound, and Akainu didn't even have time to let out a scream.

His body like a nail struck by a giant hammer was instantly driven underground.

The entire Marineford shook violently, the ground suddenly cracking open a huge bottomless fissure. Broken stones scattered like rain, raising dust that covered the sky.

Amidst this chaos, Sengoku's brow suddenly furrowed, his Observation Haki capturing a subtle change. Those four invisible Limbo Clones actually disappeared at the same moment. They receded like a tide, quickly returning to Madara Uchiha's real body.

"This..." A trace of surprise flashed in Sengoku's eyes.

But before he could react, those four clones appeared around Madara again, as if they had never left.

Sengoku's heart stirred, and he abruptly raised his head to look at the other three.

Garp, Aokiji, Kizaru seemed to have also noticed the abnormality, exchanging a glance with each other.

As if they had long had a tacit understanding, the four top Marine combat powers attacked simultaneously, surrounding Madara Uchiha from all directions.

Aokiji waved both hands, and countless huge ice mirrors instantly appeared around them.

These ice mirrors were crystal clear like crystal, each reflecting the figure of Susanoo.

"Ice Seal Pillar!" Aokiji growled in a low voice.

A powerful Cold Air burst forth, countless ice pillars rising from the ground, densely interlaced, firmly locking Susanoo in place.

At the same time, Kizaru's figure turned into a dazzling Golden Light, constantly Shining within the ice mirrors.

His speed was so fast it was dazzling, as if he appeared in every ice mirror at once.

"Yata Mirror!" Kizaru's voice came from all directions.

Countless light arrows poured down like a meteor shower, each containing enough power to Pierce steel, the golden radiance nearly blinding the eyes.

Garp had somehow brought over several Giant Rocks, his arm Muscles bulging, veins protruding.

"Fist Bone Meteor Rain!"

Accompanied by Garp's Roar, those Giant Rocks were thrown as easily as tossing a baseball, Whistling as they smashed toward Madara.

Facing the fierce assault from all directions, Madara Uchiha was not at all panicked.

Susanoo's huge arm suddenly swung, the surrounding ice pillars instantly Shattered, the Great Sword it held sweeping out like a blue Lightning.

"Bang!"

Wherever the blade passed, countless ice mirrors shattered like fragile Glass, turning into countless dazzling crystal fragments that Shone under the Sunlight.

"What?!"

Aokiji widened his eyes, watching in Disbelief as his ability was so easily broken.

At the same time, four invisible clones appeared just as Kizaru's light arrows and Garp's Giant Rocks were about to hit, blocking the four directions of Susanoo.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Amidst continuous Explosions, the entire Marineford Trembled.

The aftermath of this world-shaking battle swept over the entire Island, completely changing the terrain here.

The originally flat Ground was now unrecognizable, with bottomless ravines everywhere. Sea Water kept pouring in from the Cracks, intertwining with the land, forming a complex and dangerous terrain.

At this moment, Marco brought Ace flying to the vicinity of Whitebeard's fleet, landing lightly on the Deck.

Ace stumbled, not yet steady on his feet, when he heard a familiar voice.

"Ace!" Luffy rushed over and tightly embraced Ace, his face filled with joy and worry.

"Luffy!" Ace looked up and saw his younger brother, a hint of complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, Whitebeard's voice thundered: "All hands retreat!"

At this order, the Pirates all moved, running toward the ships anchored in the distance.

However, the Seven Warlords of the Sea suddenly appeared, blocking their retreat.

Seeing this, Whitebeard frowned, fiercely swinging his Naginata as a terrifying shockwave Whistled out.

"Get out of my way!" Whitebeard roared angrily.

Wherever the shockwave passed, the Ground instantly split open, forming a huge chasm that divided the Battlefield in two.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea were forced back by this sudden attack and had to give up blocking them.

Seeing this, the Pirates all jumped onto the ships. However, they soon discovered Whitebeard had not followed.

Only he stood by the shore, Watching the center of the Battlefield with piercing eyes, Battle Intent flashing in his eyes that could not be concealed.

"Pops!" Marco and the others shouted anxiously.

Whitebeard turned around, a faint smile on his face: "You all go first, I still have some unfinished business."

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this and all tried to dissuade him. Ace even shouted excitedly: "Pops, get on the ship! Let's leave together!"

Whitebeard shook his head, suddenly raising his right Fist. Terrifying shock power Entwined around his Fist as he slammed it heavily onto the sea surface.

"Boom!"

With a huge roar, the sea surface was instantly split open, a huge Wall of water rising up.

Immediately, towering waves like a Tsunami swept over, directly washing away the Whitebeard Pirates' ships.

The people on the ships panicked, some shouting "Pops", some trying to steer the ships around. But before Whitebeard's terrifying power, all of this was futile.
