Chapter 299 Obtaining the Tremor-Tremor Fruit
Moreover, the strength of this counterattack was beyond imagination, leaving even the Sengoku period and the entire world government helpless against it.
Whitebeard built his reputation on this foundation.
Using Roger's last words as the ultimate goal, they would unleash a massive wave across the world, the impact of which would likely be far beyond what most people could imagine.
No, this storm simply cannot be quelled.
Just like the huge wave that Roger caused back then, even today, its influence still lingers.
One of the main reasons why so many powerful individuals have emerged in the New World, enough to support the existence of four Yonko-level pirate crews, is the wave that Roger sparked.
Not only that, there are also figures like Wang Zhi, as well as many great pirates who never appeared in the original work. A large part of their forces came from the four seas and the Grand Line to enter the New World after Roger's wave.
They became a vital force for various pirate crews.
The New World has become a sacred place in the hearts of almost all pirates. Only by successfully entering the New World can they possibly reach the legendary ONE PIECE.
For those pirates outside the New World, this place is both their final destination and their new beginning.
Just now, those pirates who were trembling with fear of Enni, Kizaru, Akainu, Aokiji, and a group of Marine commanders seemed to have their inner flames ignited by a powerful force after hearing Whitebeard's words.
"ONE PIECE!"
The word echoed in the ears of the pirates like heavenly music.
The Pirate King Roger once said that all his wealth was hidden in that place.
Now that Whitebeard has personally confirmed the authenticity of ONE PIECE, does this mean that ordinary pirates like them also have the opportunity to pursue the legendary treasure?
Not only pirates, but even some people who were not originally interested in becoming pirates couldn't help but be tempted at this moment.
After all, money can be very tempting!
The wealth of Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, was an unimaginable sum, enough to instantly ignite the greed deep within anyone's heart.
At that moment, people's eyes became exceptionally bright, sparkling with desire and longing for wealth.
However, the very next moment after Whitebeard finished speaking, his body suddenly lost all movement, and even his chest stopped rising and falling.
Surprisingly, although Whitebeard showed no signs of life, he still stood there steadily, his eyes still open, his face still bearing that resolute and arrogant expression, as if his soul still remained in this world.
Even the others didn't notice his death at first. However, Akainu, who was closest to Whitebeard, and Enni, who had been keeping a close eye on him, had already noticed this unusual situation with their keen observation.
"shave!"
In an instant, his figure vanished like lightning. In the blink of an eye, he reappeared before Whitebeard like a ghost.
Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit was a treasure he had always dreamed of, and Enni naturally wouldn't miss this golden opportunity. Therefore, he arrived as swiftly as the wind the moment Whitebeard died.
Upon reaching Whitebeard, Enni casually concealed the fruit in his hand, then nonchalantly placed his hand on Whitebeard's chest, as if merely checking to see if Whitebeard still had a heartbeat. However, in reality, he was secretly smearing the fruit with Whitebeard's heart's blood.
Throughout the entire process, Aini performed flawlessly, arousing no suspicion from anyone. Finally, he subtly withdrew his hand, tightly clutching the fruit in his palm, making it impossible for anyone to detect anything amiss.
At the same moment, Enni suddenly turned to look at Akainu, his lips curving upwards into a very subtle, almost imperceptible smile.
He said softly, "Congratulations!"
Upon hearing this, Akainu instantly grasped the deeper meaning behind Enni's words. Despite his severe injuries, his usually stern face trembled slightly at the corners of his mouth, as if he were trying to suppress some emotion within him.
"Congratulations!" Akainu replied, his voice low but brimming with emotion.
Then, the two exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly, both knowing what the other was congratulating them on. However, they didn't exchange many words, but silently turned their gazes into the distance.
There, the Whitebeard Pirates were running at top speed, trying to escape the perilous battlefield. Enni and Akainu, however, stood motionless, showing no intention of giving chase.
The reason why Akainu acts this way is quite simple.
On one hand, he was seriously injured and no longer able to pursue the enemy; on the other hand, he had already achieved his goal of killing Whitebeard, and the merit he would gain from continuing the pursuit of the Whitebeard Pirates was no longer important to him.
However, what Akainu found somewhat strange was that Enni hadn't taken any action either. After all, with Enni's current achievements, he was fully qualified to sit on the throne of a Marine Admiral.
Moreover, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it's highly likely that Enni will succeed him as Fleet Admiral. After all, Enni's status and strength within the Navy are not to be underestimated, and given his background and connections, ascending to the position of Fleet Admiral shouldn't be difficult.
However, Aini knew that to secure his position, background and connections alone were far from enough; he also needed sufficient merit to back it up. Therefore, he had to seize every opportunity to accumulate merit.
At this moment, hunting down the Whitebeard Pirates is undoubtedly a perfect opportunity. If it were him, he certainly wouldn't miss such a golden chance.
As if able to read Akainu's mind, Enni's lips curled slightly upward as he softly said, "I not only successfully eliminated Marco, but also severely injured Jozu and even repelled Flower Sword. My achievements in this fierce war are quite remarkable. And you, you personally slew Whitebeard, bringing this war to a perfect close. Therefore, the remaining people are no longer so important to you and me. It's better to let them go to our other comrades, so that they also have a chance to make some contributions. After all, you and I have already taken the lion's share in this war, and it's time to leave some for our other comrades."
