One Piece - I'm Whitebeard

Seeing his attacker, Benjamin was surprised to find Doflamingo standing before him. He wasn't shocked that Doflamingo had shown up but was taken aback by the sudden attack.

Because Whitebeard had anticipated this in advance, Benjamin wasn't completely caught off guard. Although he didn't know exactly what Whitebeard had foreseen, he trusted Whitebeard's judgment.

Doflamingo and Kaido had formed an alliance, so with Whitebeard coming to defeat Kaido, Doflamingo naturally showed up to help. However, Benjamin was surprised that Doflamingo had attacked him directly.

He knew the toughest opponents on their side were Aokiji and Enel. Yet, Doflamingo had chosen to target him instead of dealing with them.

This surprised Benjamin, and he nearly succeeded. Doflamingo was standing in front of Benjamin wearing sunglasses, he smiled regretfully and said, "It's a pity, I almost killed you."

Hearing this, Benjamin immediately became serious. He realized that Doflamingo truly want to kill him; this was no mere test.

"Doflamingo, it is not a wise choice to fight our Whitebeard pirates.I know a thing or two about your thing. I hope you don't want to kill yourself." Benjamin said, trying not to mock Doflamingo while secretly considering his next move.

Although his Dark Fruit is very powerful, its shortcomings are also obvious, and the opponent is Shichibukai. It can be said that he is a veteran of the pirates. He must have a lot of combat experience, which is really bad for him.

"Hmph, defeating you is my best option. I have no way out. Do you know what kind of power someone with no way out can do?" 

Doflamingo said with a smile, though his tone carried a hint of bitterness.

"Of course I know, because I have no way out either. Defeating me won't be so simple. After all, I'm a high-ranking officer of the Whitebeard Pirate!" 

Benjamin declared. He knew he couldn't rely on others to assist him; it would only burden them on the battlefield.

"Once a lowly Marine soldier, even as chief-of-staff of the Whitebeard Pirates now, you can't change your humble origins. A person's identity is set from birth," Doflamingo said excitedly.

After speaking, he immediately shot forward and attacked Benjamin directly. 

Benjamin refrained from using his Dark Fruit ability because Doflamingo wasn't using his own. Using it recklessly at such close quarters could easily result in being countered, given Doflamingo's swift movements. 

Benjamin knew he'd be easily defeated if caught off guard.

During the past two years, Benjamin has gained valuable experience and improved his physical skills. He's also dedicated himself to mastering Marine Six Styles, making him proficient, though still refining some techniques.

"Hmph, the kid's got some skills. He's no pushover," 

Doflamingo exclaimed as he attacked, but the attack became more severe as he spoke.

Benjamin remained silent as he struggled to fend off Doflamingo's relentless attacks.

In truth, Benjamin didn't have many advantages; his resilience came from rigorous training and mastering his Devil Fruit power.

Therefore, despite appearing evenly matched, Benjamin was actually exerting more effort and consuming more energy, leaving him no time to respond to Doflamingo's questions.

On the other side, Aokiji was momentarily held back by Quinn, allowing King to swiftly attack Enel. Enel quickly noticed King's approach and coldly remarked, "You want to attack me? Then see my power."

King saw Enel swiftly redirect the lightning bolts towards him. Suddenly, King was engulfed by a barrage of lightning from above, accompanied by thunderous explosions in the sky.

"Damn it, that lightning's power is too strong. My body feels numb" 

King exclaimed as he swiftly flew out of the lightning's reach. Despite evading, he still felt the lingering effects of the strike, causing slight paralysis where the lightning had hit.

However, the lightning strike didn't inflict a lot of damage on King. 

Undeterred, he pressed on and continued his assault on Enel. This time, Enel was unable to retaliate immediately.

"What, is this guy so fast? It seems that his lightning is not only used to attack, but can also have lightning speed. It is really a good fruit." King said with some admiration.

However, despite Enel's speed, close combat isn't his strong suit. If it were, he wouldn't have lost to Luffy. He opted to maintain distance from King and rely on his lightning powers to counter him.

King continued to pursue Enel through the sky, where flying required minimal energy from him. They remained locked in this aerial chase, with Enel occasionally launching minor lightning attacks that posed little threat to King.

Aokiji found Quinn relatively easy to handle. Quinn couldn't fully unleash his poisonous gas attacks, and their fight quickly forced Quinn to reveal his true form against the formidable Aokiji. Quinn eats Ancient Zoan, Dragon-Dragon Fruit Model:Brachiosaurus , which grants him strong power.

Brachiosaurus Bomb!

Quinn fell down and slammed into Aokiji from above with a powerful blow, knocking the wind out of him. If that hit had landed directly, it might have severely injured Aokiji.

"Huh, Ice Cube: Ice Thorn!"

This time, Aokiji didn't dodge. Instead, he conjured numerous ice blades from the ground in an instant, shooting out like flowers and vines. Then, Aokiji swiftly sidestepped. In a split second, Quinn was stunned.

Come, just hit the area of the ice blade.

With a loud bang, the ground was shaken violently. This huge movement also shocked the people on the battlefield. They thought that something bad was about to happen, and they continued to fight after waiting and watching.

After transforming, Quinn's new brachiosaurus form was huge. The force from the brachiosaurus bomb was great, shattering all of Aokiji's ice blades without harming Quinn himself.

"Is this the power of the ancient Zoan species? Their bodies are incredibly tough," 

Aokiji remarked. Dealing with the subordinates of the Four Emperors was manageable, but defeating them quickly was another matter, especially with their thick, rugged skins.
