Whitebeard watched as Burgess charged forward and threw a punch. Seeing that Whitebeard wasn't using his blade, Burgess felt a surge of joy and clenched his fist, striking toward Whitebeard.
Their fists collided head-on!
Boom!
The immense impact sent dust scattering in all directions! In the next moment, Burgess felt a sharp pain shoot through his arm. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the moment his fist met Whitebeard, the sheer force had shattered the bones in his arm!
With a casual swipe, Whitebeard sent Burgess flying to the side.
"A mantis trying to stop a chariot!" Whitebeard coldly remarked, glancing at Burgess, who was clutching his arm in agony.
At that moment, an unexpected change occurred. A purple light once again enveloped the center of Banaro Island. Whitebeard gaze was drawn to the light. There was no doubt—someone was using a teleportation talisman.
"Marco, did you inform anyone else about this?" Whitebeard asked with a frown.
"No, Pops! It's urgent, and only the two of us know about it!" Marco replied, also stunned by the light. Who could it be?
The next moment, the light faded, revealing the answer. It was Lafitte, accompanied by the three Navy Admirals: Akainu Sakazuki, Aokiji Kuzan, and Kizaru Borsalino! Garp had wanted to come as well, but Sengoku had refused.
"Captain, I've brought the three Admirals! This teleportation talisman is truly incredible! To cover such a distance so quickly!" Lafitte exclaimed excitedly, holding the talisman.
Aokiji silently extended his hand toward Lafitte, his meaning clear.
Reluctantly, Lafitte handed over the talisman. It was far too precious to part with!
In the next moment, Akainu, scanning the island, noticed Whitebeard standing not far away.
"Whitebeard!" Akainu shouted. This immediately put Kizaru and Aokiji on high alert.
Whitebeard also noticed them and furrowed his brow.
"The Marines?" Whitebeard muttered with a frown.
Marco was equally surprised. He hadn't expected the Marine to arrive using a teleportation talisman—and with three Admirals no less!
At this moment, even Whitebeard had to take the situation seriously. The presence of these three Admirals was no coincidence!
Lafitte snapped out of his daze and quickly noticed his struggling comrades and the still-wailing captain.
"Marines, this matter has nothing to do with you. It's a family affair," Whitebeard said gravely.
"Teach has made a deal with us. We must take Fire Fist Ace!" Akainu retorted, refusing to back down.
"Fine then, you all going to die here!" Whitebeard replied.
"Teach, not only did you slaughter your comrades, but you also make a deal with the marine to hand over Ace!"
"Damn it!" Whitebeard roared in anger, charging swiftly towards Teach.
"Admirals, save me!" Seeing his saviors arrive, Teach let out a desperate cry.
"The Fleet Admiral said we need to bring Teach back too!" Aokiji scratched his ear as he spoke to Kizaru.
"Well, well, I never thought I'd have to save a pirate!" Kizaru sighed.
In the next moment, a golden light radiated from Kizaru body. In an instant, Kizaru had already rushed in front of Whitebeard.
"Flash Kick!" Kizaru shouted, his golden-lit foot fiercely kicking towards Whitebeard.
Whitebeard didn't retreat but instead advanced, his sharp Murakumogiri slashing down with force.
Clang!
Kizaru foot collided violently with the blade of Whitebeard Murakumogiri. Seeing that Whitebeard had blocked his kick, Kizaru used the momentum to retreat, floating into the air.
Whitebeard was also halted in his tracks by the force of the kick.
Teach, seeing the situation, scrambled on all fours to hide behind Akainu and Aokiji. The two admirals glanced at Blackbeard Teach with disdain.
"I really don't want to fight you Yonko right now!" Kizaru pouted as he spoke.
"If you don't want to fight, then leave!" Whitebeard snorted coldly.
"No choice, the Fleet Admiral's orders are absolute. He told us to take him back!" Kizaru gestured towards Ace, who was tied up nearby.
"If we can't agree, then let's fight!" At this moment, Whitebeard fighting spirit surged!
With a grasp of his left hand, a massive spherical barrier instantly formed, threatening to envelop Kizaru. The terrifying pressure made Kizaru scalp tingle. Without hesitation, he radiated golden light and appeared outside the barrier range.
"That was close, too close!"
"Are you two just going to watch?" Kizaru glanced at Akainu and Aokiji a hint of anger in his voice.
Akainu didn't speak but raised his hands, summoning a massive pillar of magma that surged towards Whitebeard. Aokiji also grasped the air, forming countless ice spears that rained down on Whitebeard below!
Whitebeard, surrounded by attacks, expanded a massive spherical barrier centered on himself. Without a doubt, both the magma pillar and the sharp ice spears were shattered upon entering the barrier's range!
Seeing this, Akainu body burst into magma, fully transforming into his magma form as he charged towards the Whitebeard! The two immediately clashed, with Kizaru occasionally delivering a Flash Kick to Whitebeard! Aokiji, of course, didn't remain idle, wielding a sharp ice blade as he joined the fray!
In an instant, the four of them were locked in a fierce battle. The ground of the entire island trembled violently.
"Magma Hound: Crimson Lotus!" Akainu Sakazuki roared with fury! A massive arm made of molten lava transformed into the shape of a dog head and extended its molten limb to attack Whitebeard! The lava-formed dog head viciously lunged toward Whitebeard neck!
Whitebeard large hand was immediately covered in the pitch-black Armament Haki, and he struck the dog head with tremendous force!
