Chapter 283: At the End of the Road
"Ice Time Capsule!"
Aokiji was the first to launch an attack on Whitebeard. He always remembered what Karl had told him earlier.
If he wanted the World Government to shut up, he had to perform more prominently than Akainu, and Whitebeard's head was the best proof.
"Clack, clack, clack~"
Bang~ The ice shattered instantly. Whitebeard said calmly, "Ice brat, you think you can kill me with this move?"
"Taste this move of mine!"
Whitebeard raised his fist high, condensed a milky white halo, and hammered it toward Aokiji.
Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan's pupils shrank, his heart pounding wildly.
Pfft, Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan instantly turned into a pile of ice shavings, scattering into the air.
Clack, clack, clack~ The earthquake came again.
Only this time it was closer, the fluctuations more intense. Marineford could no longer hold up.
Crack~
A long, narrow crack appeared on the Navy Headquarters building, then expanded rapidly. Soon, the headquarters building became a pile of ruins and construction waste.
The execution platform was teetering. Karl flew into the air, while Sengoku jumped to the ground.
Only Garp remained standing there, holding Ace's corpse.
After the tremors subsided, Akainu narrowed his eyes slightly, condensed a magma fist, and launched a sneak attack.
"Go to hell! Whitebeard!!!"
Although Whitebeard noticed Akainu's sneak attack, his body's exhaustion made him a few beats slower.
Sizzle, sizzle~
The side of his chest was burned away by the magma, emitting a faint burnt smell.
Whitebeard's face was pale, his lips trembling slightly. He raised his arm high and hammered Akainu away.
"Truly scary! To have such strength at this age, truly worthy of being the strongest man in the world!"
"Heavenly Cloud Sword!"
Akainu went down, Kizaru took over, and Whitebeard fell into the predicament of a rotation of combat again.
After all, Whitebeard was not Kaido; his stamina was limited, and he was advanced in age.
On the other side, Karl looked at the Navy Headquarters, which had become a pile of ruins, and couldn't help but shake his head: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, after this fight, I'm afraid Navy Headquarters will have to relocate!"
"Eh, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, do you think Admiral Aokiji and the others can beat Whitebeard?"
Sengoku glanced at Karl calmly: "If it were Whitebeard 10 years ago, even if the four of you went together, it would take at least a few days to decide the winner."
"As for now... Whitebeard can't hold on much longer. I know him very well."
Karl raised an eyebrow slightly: "Oh? Is there a reason for that?"
Sengoku pointed casually at the ruins behind him: "See that? That level of earthquake requires a massive amount of stamina, which is no small consumption even for a young Whitebeard."
"From the time they arrived until now, Whitebeard has used his ability many times. Plus, he's gone through a rotation of combat and was injured. If nothing goes wrong, he's already at the end of his rope."
"Yes, tsk, tsk, Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan is truly energetic!"
Hearing Karl say this, Sengoku revealed a profound smile: "Yes~ truly energetic! I hope he can keep it up."
"Wheeze, wheeze, wheeze~"
Whitebeard looked at Aokiji opposite him, gasping for air, his body covered in hideous scars.
Blade wounds, burns, frostbite...
Just as Sengoku said, he was at the end of his rope.
Although the three Admirals' conditions weren't as miserable as Whitebeard's, they weren't much better. Although Karl's Holy Light Apocalypse could last for 5 hours, if they were injured too much, it would consume a large amount of Holy Light energy.
"Holy Light Blessing!"
Three dazzling golden lights merged into their bodies, replenishing their Holy Light energy.
Golden flames rose behind the three of them again, their wounds healed rapidly, and their auras grew a bit stronger.
Kizaru was the first to give Karl a thumbs up. Karl smiled and lifted his chin—basic operation, don't be surprised.
Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan turned his head to look at Karl, showing a look of gratitude.
Akainu didn't move, his eyes fixed on Whitebeard.
Looking at the three people who had quickly recovered their state, Whitebeard took a deep breath, calmed his breathing, and slowly looked at Karl, who had been watching the show for a long time.
"Brat Karl, you're a Navy hero, how come you only dare to stand on the sidelines and watch?"
Hearing Whitebeard @ him, Karl opened his eyes in surprise and pointed at himself: "Me? Isn't Vice Admiral Garp still here? He's also a Navy hero, and he hasn't made a move either, has he?"
Whitebeard shook his head: "I've fought Garp too many times, and fighting those three is boring. You come instead!"
"I really want to see just how much skill the Navy officer who killed Shiki has."
Karl's mouth raised slightly: "So, you also want to die under my blade, Whitebeard?"
"Gurarara~ What an arrogant brat! Come! Let me see the strength of the strongest Navy of the new generation! Brat Karl!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~ Whitebeard rotated Murakumogiri rapidly, leaped high, condensed a white "Great Jade Rasengan" on Murakumogiri, and slashed fiercely toward Karl.
"You're really impatient to die, Whitebeard..."
Karl's gaze sharpened. Conqueror's Haki, intertwined with black and red, instantly wrapped around the Raven blade, followed by Holy Light enhancement—Weapon Blessing.
Watching Murakumogiri get closer and closer, Karl gripped Raven with both hands and slashed forward fiercely.
At this moment, a powerful air wave wrapped in black and red lightning burst out from Karl's body, and a huge black crescent sword energy tore through the air.
"Gurarara~ Now this is interesting!!!"
Whitebeard laughed loudly, also erupting with powerful Conqueror's Haki, clashing head-on with Karl.
The moment the black sword energy made contact with the Tremor Ball, it emitted a "ding" sound, Move Move Like the sound of two empty glass cups colliding.
Immediately after, all of Marineford began to tremble, the ground began to collapse, and the shockwave instantly swept across the entire plaza, air waves rolling.
The Warlords, who had long since retreated to the distance, looked at this scene in shock, their understanding of Whitebeard and Karl's strength suddenly becoming clear.
The war just now was probably just child's play in the eyes of these two!
This was the struggle between the world's top powerhouses!
Mihawk took a deep breath and said calmly, "He's become stronger... no, when he fought me back then, he didn't use his full strength at all."
Gulp~
Truly two monsters!
Doflamingo swallowed hard, thinking if he possessed such power, he would have long since attacked Mary Geoise and taken back the position that should have belonged to him.
Hancock didn't think so much, just covered her burning cheeks, looking with love at Karl, who was fighting Whitebeard in the distance, feeling incredibly proud in her heart.
