"Go, crush them!" The Five Elders looked at the three legendary Marine figures beside them, urging them to join the battlefield and alongside the three Admirals, eliminate all the pirates.
"Huff~" Hearing this, a wisp of hot air escaped from Sengoku mouth.
Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with the Five Elders' attitude earlier, he understood that now was the time to go all out and eradicate these pirates.
"Sengoku!"
"Take down Whitebeard first!" Kong, the former Fleet Admiral, gazed at Whitebeard standing at the bow of his ship in the bay and spoke in a deep voice.
With that, Kong aura surged.
Despite being old, even older than garp and sengoku, he had always held a high position and apart from the God Valley Incident, rarely engaged in intense battles with opponents.
Compared to Whitebeard, who had been fighting for years, Kong body was still robust.
Although his strength was no longer at its peak, it remained above the level of a top-tier fighter.
With a slight surge of power, Kong bulging muscles expanded further, transforming his body into a solid fortress filled with explosive strength.
At the same time, Sengoku showed no signs of weakness.
His aura erupted and his already towering figure swelled, radiating a golden light.
In just a few moments, a golden Buddha appeared on the execution platform.
"Creak, creak..."
The heavy body caused the execution platform to groan under the pressure, bathed in the Buddha light.
The two exchanged a glance and in the next second, they simultaneously leaped from the execution platform, dozens of meters high.
"Rokushiki Ougi: Rokuogan!"
"Shockwave!"
Both shouted in unison as their figures closed in on Whitebeard.
"Pops!!"
Seeing two legends whose strength even surpassed that of the Admirals, teaming up against Whitebeard, the division commanders shouted in urgency.
However, Squard quietly retreated behind the others, his expression hardening.
"Are you ignoring me?" Shiki watched as the two locked onto Whitebeard, treating him as if he were air and was deeply displeased.
As the two leaped down, he crossed his two famous swords in front of him, then flipped his wrists and swung his arms forward with all his might.
Swish, swish, swish!!!
Shiki body spun rapidly in the air and over a dozen golden sword slashes shot out, aimed directly at Kong.
Sensing the incoming slashes, Kong had no choice but to forget about Whitebeard for the moment.
His body twisted strangely in mid-air.
In the next moment, the sword slashes cut through the air slicing through nothing, landing on the ice surface.
Kong, however, remained unharmed.
The incredibly fast slashes had been dodged through his mastery of rokushiki, showcasing his unparalleled skill.
But this forced him to halt his attack on Whitebeard and he lost momentum, landing back on the ground.
"Gurararara!" Facing the golden Buddha charging toward him, Whitebeard laughed heartily, his booming voice echoing across Marineford.
"Let's see if you've grown stronger over the years!"
With those words, Whitebeard's expression turned serious and his aura surged dramatically.
He knew that Sengoku was no small fry.
Having clashed with him during the God Valley Incident, Whitebeard understood that his strength was no weaker than that of the newly risen Admirals.
In the next moment...
Whitebeard's muscular arm bulged, his fist enveloped in a radiant white moonlight glow, the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit pushed to its absolute limit.
With a sudden twist of his waist, his body slightly lowered, his left arm swung in a full arc, assuming his signature stance, the glow on his fist instantly expanding.
Though the strike had yet to be unleashed, the space around his fist was already distorting.
"Take this!" With a low roar, an intense battle intent ignited in Whitebeard eyes.
In the next moment, his fist shot straight forward.
"Crack!"
At the instant the punch was thrown, the space around it emitted a crisp sound, shattering like glass.
A torrential surge of energy erupted from within, advancing toward Sengoku position.
"BOOM!"
A flash of Buddha's light, golden rays scattering in all directions.
Sengoku imposing figure, carrying overwhelming pressure, suddenly halted mid-air before being sent flying backward.
Under the intense energy fluctuations, some of the weaker Marines were pressed against the ice, unable to even lift their heads.
Those even less capable were swept up in the surging waves of air, experiencing a free flight through the sky.
'So strong!!'
Sengoku golden body came to a stop at the base of the city wall, his voice filled with shock.
Before him lay a massive fissure, the ice split open on both sides, a testament to the force that had slid him back dozens of meters.
Sengoku could clearly feel that Whitebeard's strike was even more powerful than it had been forty years ago.
Truly, the man deserve to be hailed as the strongest in the world.
Yet, at this critical moment, a ghostly figure suddenly darted out.
In less than a second, the figure appeared abruptly in front of Whitebeard.
Draw the sword, unsheathe it, deliver a backstab and then be sent flying!
The entire sequence was executed in one fluid motion.
It happened so quickly that most of the pirates hadn't even seen clearly what had happened, catching only a glimpse of someone moving swiftly to Whitebeard's side before being smashed away by another figure.
As the mist dispersed, people realised that Kaido was standing in front of Whitebeard, his arm suspended in the air in the same way as Whitebeard.
In front of him, the body of a pirate that had been sent flying into the ranks of the Marines, with a massive palm print visible on his face, almost covering it entirely.
"Squard!"
"Was that Kaido doing?"
"What's with the sword that fell in front of the old man?"
"It looks like Squard's sword!"
"..."
The pirates were stunned by the sudden turn of events, filled with deep confusion.
"Truly a good son!"
"Edward, it seems your sons aren't entirely loyal to you!" Kaido retracted his palm, raising an eyebrow as he looked at Whitebeard.
"Kaido!"
"Do you know how much damage that slap could do to my son?" Whitebeard watched as Squard was sent flying, speaking in a somber tone.
His voice carried a hint of concern.
