Chapter 284: Blackbeard Pirates Attack
After a while, the smoke and haze gradually subsided.
Karl, holding Raven, stood on the ground, his suit still stained red with blood.
Because he faced the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's ability head-on, Karl's skin cracked, causing a large amount of blood to seep out, but Karl's aura remained steady, his eyes still calm.
Accompanied by rhythmic breathing, white Holy Light permeated Karl's body, quickly healing his wounds while dispelling the blood stains that had soaked into his clothes. Soon, Karl recovered as if nothing had happened.
Looking at Whitebeard, his situation was very bad.
He was kneeling on the ground on one knee, Murakumogiri, which had been cut into two sections, lay quietly on the ground, and there was a hideous wound on Whitebeard's chest.
Red blood flowed slowly down the flesh from his neck to his pelvis, gathering on the ground and seeping into the earth...
"I acknowledge your strength, Karl. You are indeed an opponent worth fighting. If I were young, I would definitely have had a good fight with you..."
Whitebeard's words sounded Move Move Like a last will, his eyes filled with regret and relief.
Karl slowly stuck Raven into the ground. Just as he was about to say something, Aokiji frowned and shouted, "Over there, it seems there's something!"
Everyone present couldn't help but look in the direction Aokiji pointed. A huge face appeared behind Navy Headquarters, an existence even larger than Little Oars.
Sanjuan Wolf covered his mouth: "Ah? We were discovered!"
To be honest, it was hard not to be discovered with such a huge face.
"Truly scary~ When did so many people appear on the Navy Headquarters building." Kizaru narrowed his eyes and looked at the few black shadows high up.
"Finally noticed, Zehahahaha!"
Sengoku clenched his fists and said with a serious expression, "This guy really came!"
Bang~
Hearing Teach's voice, Whitebeard struggled to stand up, looking coldly at the figure high above: "You bastard."
"Zehahahaha~ Long time no see~ To be able to see you one last time before you die, Pops!"
"Te...ach~"
Whitebeard endured the pain in his chest, activated his ability again, condensed a vibrating light ball, and threw it toward the location of Teach's group.
Boom, boom~
This strike made the already dilapidated Navy Headquarters building even worse, completely becoming a pile of rubble.
After the tremors subsided, Teach and his subordinates slowly walked out of the smoke.
"You really don't hold back at all, Pops."
"Only you are not worthy of being my son, Teach. You violated the only iron rule on my ship. Now, I will personally take your life, you bastard! Ugh..."
Whitebeard's mouth twitched, a large amount of blood flowing down. Teach smiled evilly; it seemed he had arrived at just the right time.
"Let's bring this to an end, Teach!"
"Zehahahaha~ Just as I intended!"
Teach grinned, deep black mist surging from his body, spreading rapidly with him as the center.
"Elbaf Spear: Ikoku!"
Karl's voice echoed in the plaza. A long blade glowing with golden light shot out, instantly piercing Whitebeard's heart and rushing toward Teach.
Sengoku: !!!
Aokiji: ???
Kizaru: Scary...
Teach's face changed instantly, and he raised his hand to release a black vortex, attempting to block the flying blade.
"Gah!"
Just as it was about to reach Teach, Raven instantly transformed into its beast form, flapping its wings to fly above Teach's head and spraying golden sacred flames at him.
"Ahhhhh~ So hot! It hurts Move Move Like hell!!!"
The black mist dissipated, and Teach instantly lost his composure, rolling wildly on the ground, trying to extinguish the sacred flames.
"Sorry~ Whitebeard, leave Teach to us in the Navy. You should rest in peace!"
Whitebeard looked down at the large hole in his chest, turned his head to look at Karl, smiled faintly, and continued walking toward Teach. One step, two steps, plop.
Whitebeard knelt on the ground, gasping for air, but his breathing grew weaker and weaker until there was no sound at all...
Edward Newgate, one of the three legendary pirates, died in battle!
This also formally announced that the pirate who stood at the top of the old era had completely fallen.
Seeing that Whitebeard was truly dead, Sengoku took a deep breath, images of fighting Whitebeard in his youth flashing rapidly through his mind...
Everything, everything, vanished with Newgate's death!
"Whew~"
Sengoku picked up the broadcast Den Den Mushi and shouted loudly: "Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, has been killed by Navy hero Vice Admiral Karl. The Whitebeard Pirates are now leaderless. This is the perfect time to annihilate the Whitebeard Pirates!"
"All Navy soldiers hunting down the stragglers of the Whitebeard Pirates, listen to my orders: do not let a single pirate leave Marineford alive!!!"
Hearing Sengoku's announcement, the Navy soldiers were in an uproar.
The super pirate Whitebeard, who had suppressed an era, had actually died!!!
"Ohhhhh! Long live Vice Admiral Karl!!! Long live the Navy!!!"
"Kill! Kill all the Whitebeard Pirates!"
However, human joy and sorrow are not connected. The Navy was ecstatic, morale soaring, while the pirates were ashen-faced, their morale falling to the bottom.
Although they knew Pops was prepared to die, they still felt somewhat broken when they heard the news.
"Waaaaah! Pops!!!"
A feeling called sadness spread rapidly among the Whitebeard Pirates.
Marineford Plaza. Sengoku put down the broadcast Den Den Mushi and said to the three Admirals beside him: "Whitebeard is dead. Now our mission is to kill all members of the Blackbeard Pirates on the spot, leaving none alive!"
"Yes!" *3
The three Admirals immediately looked at the members of the Blackbeard Pirates with ill intent.
"Wheeze, wheeze~"
Teach crawled up from the ground, gasping for air, his body scorched black, his whole person looking much more withered.
But after seeing the dead Whitebeard, Teach was devastated, shouting in disbelief: "Pops?!"
Karl reached out, and Raven slowly flew onto Karl's hand.
"No need to call him. He's been dead for a long time. You have no chance to transfer his Tremor-Tremor Fruit."
Teach's pupils shrank instantly, looking at Karl in shock: "You! How did you know?"
Karl's mouth raised slightly. He walked slowly toward Teach, took a Den Den Mushi from his pocket, and said to it: "Now you should know why, right?"
Crack~ A thunderbolt struck Teach's mind.
This voice, this Den Den Mushi!
It's you! The mysterious man!
The man who gave him the Dark-Dark Fruit and told him to kill his companions was actually Navy hero Karl!
No wonder it was so straightforward; was this all a conspiracy?
Just, why would the Navy know his ambition? Could it be...
"Teach, you are useless now. So, go to hell!"
