Chapter 456: 458 Battle of Wits
Whitebeard moved with extremely fast speed, arriving on the battlefield in an instant.
"Everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates, don't back down! We will definitely win!"
Whitebeard's voice roared with immense power, his words echoing across the entire battlefield.
Everyone heard Whitebeard's voice, and the Whitebeard Pirates crew were filled with excitement.
Suddenly, the Whitebeard Pirates' morale soared, and they were filled with fighting spirit. In contrast, the Marines felt fear and unease after hearing Whitebeard's voice.
In this world, everyone knows that Whitebeard's power can create earthquakes and tsunamis effortlessly.
The Marines fear that he could wipe them out with just a gesture, which makes them anxious about his next move.
"Oyaji!" Marco shouted in surprise while fighting three Vice Admirals from Marine Headquarters.
"Oyaji, you finally showed up! That's great!" Enel also exclaimed with excitement.
Everyone turned to Whitebeard as he said, "You've disappointed me. After two years of training, is this all you've got?"
As soon as Whitebeard spoke, everyone bowed their heads in shame.
They couldn't argue with his accusation and instead focused on pushing themselves harder to fight and defeat more Marines.
"Whitebeard, it's Whitebeard! He's finally here!"
When Whitebeard appeared, Akainu's eyes were lit up. Yes, they have been waiting for Whitebeard's appearance.
"He's here? Are we fighting now?" Fujitora asked.
"Is that really Whitebeard? He has an terrifying presence. He doesn't look like an old man at all," Ryokugyu said in surprise.
"Since Whitebeard has shown up, Akainu, to prevent him from causing damage to our Marines, I think we should attack now," Kizaru said.
"Slow, I'll come first. I will drag Whitebeard here, and then you all attack together." Akainu stared at Whitebeard's direction and said.
After speaking, Akainu leaped off the battleship, his body radiating a burst of intense heat.
The temperature of the magma was already the same as the excitement in Akainu's heart at this moment.
"Whitebeard, this moment has finally arrived. I don't believe this powerful lineup can't hold you down!"
Akainu's eyes flashed with excitement. He looked forward to this moment, to be precise, the moment when Whitebeard was eliminated.
Akainu flew through the air, his killing intent clear even from far away.
"Whitebeard, long time no see!" Akainu's gloomy voice echoed from a distance.
"Who's that?"
Enel shouted, recognizing Akainu's approach. Without hesitation, he unleashed the Heavenly Thunder Dragon and blitzed directly towards Akainu.
The huge Thunder Dragon exploded with a powerful impact, sending thunder swirling through the air. The ground below was scorched black.
"Did I succeed?" Enel watched where the Thunder Dragon had exploded, but there was no sign of the target.
However, Whitebeard let out a chuckle and said, "It's been a long time, Sakazuki, no, it should be Fleet Admiral Akainu now. I didn't expect that you, who have become Fleet Admiral Marine, would show up in person. It's really surprising."
Enel followed Whitebeard's gaze and saw that Akainu had narrowly escaped the blast, unharmed and outside the explosion's range.
"It's okay. Another tough opponent?" Enel thought.
Based on Akainu's performance, he realized he wasn't a match for him and would leave Akainu to Whitebeard. It was clear that Akainu was here to face Whitebeard.
Akainu leaped through the air and landed close in front of Whitebeard, his arrival drawing attention from the Marines.
"Wow, it's Fleet Admiral Akainu himself. I didn't expect him to come in person."
"Yes, with Fleet Admiral here, we can definitely take on Whitebeard. Plus, we have many other strong Admirals."
"The Whitebeard Pirates won't stand a chance now. We need to stay focused and keep up the fight."
The Marine's morale has been greatly improved, and the fighting between the two sides has become more and more fierce, but Akainu doesn't care about the battle below, and only Whitebeard is the only target in his eyes.
"Whitebeard, it's time to say goodbye. It's been a few years since we last met. The scars I gave you should be healed by now."
However, such an ordinary method of Whitebeard can affect the mentality. The stronger the person, the heart will be calm. Whitebeard just smiled and replied: "Of course, but this time, it will be you who bears the injury. Your attacks can no longer hurt me."
"Really?"
Akainu's eyes flashed with killing intent. He quickly summoned a ball of magma in his hand and threw it toward Whitebeard.
The searing magma seemed hot enough to burn the air itself, but Whitebeard didn't flinch. He remained still, relying solely on his body to withstand the attack without using Haki.
The magma hit Whitebeard's position, and it did make Whitebeard feel the warm temperature, but it did not cause him any damage at all.
The attack was unable to breach his defense.
Even without doing anything, Whitebeard's physical strength surpasses Kaido's. Even a strong Admiral can't harm him with ordinary attacks.
If he wants to cause harm to Whitebeard, no matter what kind of strength the person has, it is impossible not to do his best.
"What? As expected, his physical strength is beyond imagination."
Whitebeard's indifference surprised Akainu.
Although Akainu knew Whitebeard's physical strength was extraordinary, seeing it firsthand was still shocking.
He realized that his magma attacks, while powerful, were not as formidable as Kizaru's light.
"Whitebeard, if we fight here, it will lead to more casualties. Can we choose a different location?" Akainu asked.
"As you wish." Whitebeard said in a lightly relaxed tone.
