Chapter 143 Battle Ends
Chapter 143 Battle Ends
Seeing Aokiji display such power, Minos smiled faintly and said, "This Aokiji is really something else. He managed to make the Ice-Ice Fruit feel like a high-level magic descent."
"Looking back now, it seems that Aokiji in the original manga was completely holding back during the Marineford arc!"
"He's either kicked away by Marco or knocked away by Jozu! He's a complete actor."
"If Aokiji, Kizaru, Garp, and Sengoku also went all out like Sakazuki."
"The Whitebeard Pirates are probably really going to be wiped out. As long as they fight to the death, not a single member of the Whitebeard Pirates will be able to escape from Marineford."
Thinking of this, Minos's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile: "The Marineford War, what a huge joke."
"In the end, it seems only the world where Sakazuki was injured was achieved." (◣_◢)
"But for now, let's see how the Whitebeard Pirates deal with this new wave of attacks?"
Meanwhile, the Whitebeard crew, who were confronting Aokiji on the battlefield, had solemn expressions on their faces.
They never expected that after barely managing to withstand one wave of attacks, and before they could even catch their breath, they would be met with an even stronger and more terrifying attack.
This has truly put them in an extremely difficult predicament.
Whitebeard, in particular, looked extremely grim. From the very beginning of the battle, he had been engaged in an incredibly fierce fight with Minos, their various high-level Haki clashing and exchanging blows, making it difficult to determine a clear winner.
Afterwards, he was tricked by Minos using Dragon Slayer Magic, which caused him to be injured.
Not only that, he used the Haki Binding twice in succession, and even combined Ryuo Haki and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit with Murakumogiri to unleash a powerful Tremor Slash. (Compared to Whitebeard during Marineford, he is undoubtedly much stronger now. After all, during Marineford, Whitebeard did not fully demonstrate the immense strength and Haki expected of a Yonko. (◣_◢))
After this series of intense battles, he was exhausted and felt like an old dog that was completely worn out.
Thinking of this, Whitebeard gripped the Murakumogiri tightly and solemnly shouted to Marco and the others, "After I withstand Aokiji's attack this time, you should retreat immediately!"
"The continuous battles have taken a toll on my physical condition. As for that brat Minos, we'll have to settle that score later."
Marco and the others looked worried when they heard Whitebeard's words: "Dad, are you alright?"
"If we're going to leave, we'll leave together."
……
Seeing the worried looks on Marco and the others' faces, Whitebeard waved his hand and forced a smile: "Kurara, it's alright. You guys can meet me outside when the time comes."
However, Marco and the others' worries did not diminish at all upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Whitebeard said helplessly in a deep voice, "After I make my move, you must retreat immediately."
"This is the captain's order."
Marco and the others became serious upon hearing Whitebeard's resolute order.
On this vast ocean, the crew must resolutely carry out the captain's orders.
After saying that, Whitebeard ignored Marco and the others, focusing all his attention on the approaching ice.
And in the sky, there were two imposing giant ice sculptures, eight incredibly sharp ice spears, and countless sharp ice balls and blades.
At that moment, Aokiji's eyes flashed like lightning as he stared intently at Whitebeard, and he uttered another single word indifferently: "Surrender."
In an instant, the two majestic ice sculptures and eight sharp ice spears in the sky rushed toward the white-bearded man like arrows released from a bow.
Behind them followed a dense array of ice balls and countless sharp ice blades, like a cloud of death, pressing down and making it hard to breathe.
Whitebeard took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and roared, "You brat Aokiji, I am Whitebeard!"
"How could I possibly be defeated by you so easily?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the white-bearded man clenched his left fist and placed it horizontally in front of his chest.
Suddenly, the muscles on his arms bulged and grew larger, and the veins under his skin, like giant dragons swimming, were clearly visible and throbbing violently.
Facing the ice and giant eagle that were already within reach, a red and white energy halo suddenly appeared on the left fist that the white-bearded man held horizontally in front of his chest.
This is a special energy formed by the fusion of Ryuo Haki and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, exuding a powerful and mysterious aura.
Whitebeard exerted all his strength and punched the air. Instantly, it was as if a huge rift had been torn open in the air, revealing a series of shocking cracks.
At the same time, a series of cracking sounds rang out. Those were the sounds of space shattering; the powerful spatial forces were constantly trembling and breaking under the impact of this punch.
The immense energy vibration generated by the spatial rupture, like a surging wave, directly halted the onrushing ice.
The two menacing ice sculptures and eight incredibly sharp ice spears in the sky were also shattered by this powerful impact, turning into countless ice shards that scattered in all directions.
Even the hockey pucks and ice blades following behind were greatly affected.
For a moment, the sound of breaking and snapping filled the air.
Even so, many of the countless ice balls and sharp ice blades following closely behind the ice sculpture were not completely broken.
They continued to attack Whitebeard with immense power.
Whitebeard first gave Aokiji a cold look, then turned his gaze to the still surging ice balls and ice blades in front of him, and said in a deep voice with a smile: "Next, is the gift I'm leaving for you."
After saying that, Whitebeard clenched his fist tightly again and placed his left hand horizontally in front of his chest.
The muscles in his arms bulged again, and the white and red energy halo on his fist became even more dazzling.
Suddenly, Whitebeard's gaze sharpened, revealing a resolute look in his eyes. He used all his strength to punch the space in front of him.
With a "crack," the sound of space shattering rang out again.
However, Whitebeard did not stop there. He then exerted his strength again and punched the space.
The cracking sounds, like thunderclaps, echoed throughout the entire battlefield.
In an instant, a powerful and terrifying shockwave erupted across the entire battlefield.
The air tremors and earthquakes generated by the Tremor-Tremor Fruit were on full display at this moment.
The remaining ice balls and ice blades in the sky shattered and dissipated under the impact of this powerful force.
The thick ice on the ground was also breaking apart under the influence of the strong earthquake, revealing huge cracks.
"Crackling and popping," a series of crisp sounds rang out, accompanied by countless ice blocks and pebbles falling continuously.
In an instant, the battlefield, which was originally covered in ice and snow, became fragmented and unrecognizable.
This sudden turn of events left Minos and the others in a helpless situation.
No one expected that Whitebeard, this seemingly old man, would choose to evacuate in such a shocking way.
Moreover, and more importantly, if they do not leave soon, the entire island will immediately shatter under the continuous and intense earthquakes and slowly sink into the endless deep sea.
"Damn it!" Minos cursed aloud at the sudden turn of events.
……
P.S.: I feel that what I wrote is better than Whitebeard's version from the Marineford arc.
