Chapter 1793: The Strongest

Ding!

The naginata in Whitebeard's hand stabbed into the ground beside his feet. Wearing a white coat, he leaned forward slightly, arms crossed in front of his chest, fists clenched. Those familiar with Whitebeard knew this was his stance for using the Gura Gura no Mi.

Whitebeard grinned. The muscles in his chest tightened, veins bulged from his neck, and an extremely terrifying sense of oppression appeared.

"Stop him!"

Sengoku on the execution platform roared. The war began more suddenly than expected, erupting directly into the climax stage.

Aokiji, who was on the chair in the high observation deck, suddenly disappeared, leaving behind a wisp of cold air.

And not far from the three Admirals, a fair-skinned little boy around 10 years old was hugging his shoulders with both hands.

"Hey, hey, what's going on? In the original story, didn't Whitebeard want to trigger a seaquake, causing a tsunami to roll toward Marineford? The feeling now... doesn't seem like simply triggering a tsunami."

The little boy seemed very afraid. Most sensory types had the weakness of being timid; the stronger the sensory type, the more so, because they could perceive terrifying things that outsiders couldn't see, hear, or ever touch.

"Not a seaquake? Are you sure?"

Behind the little boy, a strong man about three meters tall, whose strength was enough to make one blush, spoke.

"Definitely not..."

The little boy's words had just fallen when Whitebeard, standing on the bow of the Moby Dick, had already swung his fists toward both sides of his body.

Dong!

Whitebeard's fists were like hammers striking the atmosphere. Cracks appeared in the air on both sides, and the coat he wore fluttered wildly.

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack...

The air on both sides of Whitebeard's body cracked, and a vibration centered on him spread, beginning to spread to the outer ports on both sides.

The marines located at the outer ports on both sides only felt a buzzing sound in their brains, as if they had been hit on the head with a hammer. These marines' legs went soft, and they collapsed directly to the ground. Some even vomited blood with a 'wow'. With two punches, large areas of marines fell.

Crack! Crack!

The front ends of the outer ports on both sides cracked. The stone slabs on the ground were like broken glass, and the cracks spread rapidly under the feet of the marines. The edge of the U-shaped outer port was about to collapse.

Boom!

The seawater outside the port splashed up and began to surge madly back into the sea. The water temperature dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing the outer wall full of moss below the port.

Whitebeard took a deep breath. His lung capacity was so strong that it seemed he could suck the surrounding air into his lungs.

A stinging sensation came from Whitebeard's chest. This feeling wasn't strong, just like being pricked by a needle.

"Your lungs have failed; I can only 'reactivate' them, letting them continue to work for you. But remember, this is like a black-hearted boss exploiting employees; overusing them, they will eventually go on strike."

Whitebeard remembered what Su Xiao said to him after the surgery was successful. However, Whitebeard couldn't care about these things now; he had to use his own strength to make up for the gap between his side and the Marines.

Sengoku could command the entire scene from the execution platform and protect the Marine Headquarters, but Whitebeard couldn't. He had to help his side create an advantage as soon as the battle began.

Whitebeard's fists had just smashed down when a figure emitting cold air appeared not far in front of him. It was Aokiji.

"Partisan Spear."

Three ice spears appeared above Aokiji. These ice spears, emitting white gas and at ultra-low temperatures, stabbed toward Whitebeard. Their speed was so fast that they reached Whitebeard's side in an instant.

Dong!

Whitebeard swung a punch to the side, cracks appeared in the air, and the three ice spears were shattered. Although the strength of a Marine Admiral was there, now, Aokiji alone was facing Whitebeard; this was the wrong choice.

The shattered ice crystals splashed all over the sky. Aokiji half-knelt on the ground, preparing to freeze the Moby Dick.

Aokiji's hand had just pressed onto the deck of the bow when Whitebeard had already raised his hand to grasp the naginata beside him, taking a step to charge toward Aokiji.

Aokiji's feeling at this moment was very bad. The sense of oppression coming toward him made him stand up immediately, entering elementalization while leaping to the side.

Aokiji's height was a full three meters, but compared to Whitebeard, he was a dwarf.

Whitebeard's charging steps looked clumsy, but his speed was not slow, and every step was very steady, giving people a feeling that he could not be repelled.

Bang!

The naginata slashed beside Aokiji's feet. Leaping into mid-air, an ice thread spread from Aokiji's hand, and that curved ice thread finally touched Whitebeard's lower abdomen.

The next moment, Aokiji felt a blunt impact from his side waist. Although he had already elementalized, the hilt of the naginata was wrapped in Haki, shaking his internal organs with dull pain.

With a swoosh, Aokiji was swept away by Whitebeard using the hilt of the naginata. Cold ice spread from Whitebeard's lower abdomen as the starting point. Whitebeard's body tightened, and the ice layer on his body surface shattered, the broken ice falling under his feet.

Aokiji fell into the sea. Seeing this scene, the pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates let out a roar, and their morale soared.

On the execution platform, Ace, in a kneeling position, had his mouth slightly open, looking at his old man Whitebeard in disbelief. The scene of his old man sweeping Aokiji away a few times just now was a bit beyond his understanding.

Ace of course knew Whitebeard's physical condition; his old man was already seriously ill. Seeing his old man come to save him, that sense of guilt made his heart ache like a knife.

And now, Ace was a bit confused. His old man didn't look like he was seriously ill at all, especially the inhalation action before. According to Ace's memory, his old man's lung function was very poor, sometimes waking up at night due to difficulty breathing, unable to sleep for the entire second half of the night.

Aokiji fell into the sea, which dealt a critical blow to the Marines' morale, but as a Marine Admiral, Aokiji of course wouldn't be solved by Whitebeard in a few moves.

Crack, crack, crack...

The cold air froze the sea surface, forming a lump of ice. It was Aokiji in a half-kneeling posture. His eyes seemed to be thinking about something, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. Whitebeard was so strong that he couldn't believe it. Just hesitating for a moment, he began to freeze the sea surface in the port area, which was almost equivalent to helping the Whitebeard Pirates create a foothold.

In an instant, the sea surface in the U-shaped port was frozen. Aokiji canceled his elementalization and stood on the ice. He had obtained an important piece of intelligence: an Admiral must never face Whitebeard alone; they would die.

Whitebeard, standing on the bow, did not pursue. He looked at the ice surface under the ship. Now he could be sure that Sengoku had deployed something in the port; otherwise, Aokiji wouldn't have helped them create a foothold.

"Little ones, let the Marines see what we're made of!"

"Roar!"

Pirate after pirate leaped off the ship and stepped onto the ice. This was the pirates' greatest weakness: command relied entirely on shouting. Whitebeard hadn't given the order yet, and they had already left the ship and charged toward the port.

Boom, boom, boom!

Three cannonballs exploded on the ice surface. It was the inner port's cannons firing.

"Counterattack."

"Maintain the flank defense line."

"Quick! Block the inner port!"

Marine after marine jumped down from the port and boarded the ice surface. Among them were many lieutenants and captains. In the Summit War battlefield, they only counted as small characters with some strength. Among them were Smoker and Hina. These belonged to the elite among the small characters. Even though Smoker was a Logia fruit user, there were too many people on the battlefield who could kill him. ===== CHAPTER 1794 =====
