"Oyaji, Vista says the enemy is retreating, we should be careful!"
Marco quickly reported to [Moby Dick], but at that moment, Whitebeard suddenly opened his eyes wide and said in a deep voice, "It's too late!"
"What...?"
Before the words could be finished, the entire hull of [Moby Dick] suddenly lifted upward. A massive "fishing net" rose from beneath the surface of the sea, catching [The Moby Dick] as if fishermen were catching fish.
"Yasakani no Magatama!"
A golden light shot out from a distant submarine hatch. Kizaru's usually nonchalant face showed a hint of seriousness as elementalization transformed his cloak into countless dazzling particles of light, attacking [The Moby Dick] like a raging rainstorm.
"Protect Father!"
Marco shouted angrily. How could the Marines know their movements so well? Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to set up such an interception net.
Facing Kizaru's lasers, Marco's entire body was enveloped in blue ghostly flames. With a sharp scream, he shot straight up into the sky.
The blue immortal flames spread out in the wind, quickly forming a flaming city wall that swept across the sky.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The flames couldn't withstand the laser barrage, but the strange energy shocks caused the lasers to explode prematurely. In an instant, fireworks exploded in the sky, turning the sea blue and gold.
When Marco reappeared, Kizaru immediately concentrated his firepower and enveloped him in a huge mushroom cloud of explosions. However, neither Whitebeard nor Kizaru showed any change in their expressions.
Shriek!!!
Another piercing scream rang out as a large blue bird with a wingspan of five meters emerged from the explosion and dust.
The bird's body was almost completely destroyed by the explosion, but surrounded by the immortal blue flames, its body quickly reformed. By the time it charged in front of Kizaru, it had already been completely restored!
"'Undying Bird' Marco has the same self-healing ability as Rowen? Truly terrifying!"
Anyone who knew Kizaru knew that when he said something was terrifying, it meant that he truly despised it from the bottom of his heart.
"Have you ever been hit at the speed of light?"
"What?"
Marco was shocked for a moment but before he could react, it was already too late.
Shoo... Bang!!!
In everyone's eyes, where Kizaru and Marco were, there was just a flash of golden light and then Marco, covered in scorched smoke, was sent flying backwards, blood dripping into the sea.
Flight and self-healing were only two of Rowen's abilities, but they made up Marco's entirety.
For Kizaru, without a speed comparable to his or Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki) to contend with, these two abilities alone posed no significant threat.
"Skyquake!"
Suddenly, a roar echoed through the sky and earth.
On the bow deck below [Moby Dick], Whitebeard tightly gripped his naginata. With a twist of his colossal body, a ball of white light appeared at the edge of the naginata's blade and ruthlessly sliced through the void.
The next moment, the sky burst and the earth cracked!
Bang!!!
Even [The Moby Dick], which was bigger than the Navy's largest battleship, the War Behemoth, seemed insignificant at that moment. A towering waterspout suddenly rose from the sea, reaching over a thousand meters high, a scene that shook the hearts of everyone who witnessed it.
But this was only the aftermath of the attack. The cracks in the atmosphere spread in all directions, and the truly terrifying movement shook the air and quickly spread to the surrounding area.
The incomparably violent tremor pressed down from all directions. Even Kizaru's speed couldn't dodge it.
It was as if the whole world was rejecting itself. The tremendous pressure crushed everything around. The sky filled with golden light and blue flames shattered in an instant. Then, with a "Bang," Kizaru was shattered into countless light particles.
This is the power wielded by the "World's Strongest" Whitebeard, Edward Newgate!
Tremor-Tremor Fruit!
The most powerful paramecia fruit!

"Whitebeard, eat this!"
However, the crisis did not dissipate with the dispersal of Kizaru. Suddenly, a metallic bald head emerged from the gaps in the net that had lifted [Moby Dick].
Vice Admiral Mozambia's appearance underwent a major change at that moment. His swinging right fist was twice the size of his waist, and its intricate metal components were tightly joined together, emitting a strong metallic killing intent.
An orange-yellow pipe emitted a dazzling glow, surging energy sweeping everything, creating a misty visual effect in the air as the fist swung, leaving no doubt as to its power.
But...
"Gūlālālā, an insignificant pawn dares to ambush me?"
Whitebeard turned angrily, his terrifying Haoshoku Haki radiating into the air. The hardened deck quickly sank, cracking with a "kāchā" sound as the solid material was severely damaged by the haki alone.
Thrown off by Whitebeard's astonishing haki, Mozambia's movements were slightly delayed.
In that split second, alarm bells began to rang out in Mozambia's head.
"Not good!"
Because in that moment of hesitation, Whitebeard had already turned and swung his naginata upward from below, ruthlessly slashing at him.
If he could not avoid it, it would definitely cut him in half!
Chi... kuāng dāng!!!
In the crisis, Mozambia redirected the fist aimed at his head, barely blocking it in front of the naginata.
With a sudden contact, accompanied by an intense vibration, the naginata sliced through his arm like a hot knife through butter, splitting and scattering metal pieces.
Then, with a "thud," the impact exploded.
Like a mushroom cap, a transparent shockwave membrane spread out in front of Whitebeard, creating a "creak, creak" sound of tooth-grinding steel distortion. Mozambia was sent flying backward at a faster speed than before.
Even Diamond Jozu's steel body, which was difficult to penetrate, had its arm broken at the elbow, a scar from the right armpit cutting across the chest from the left shoulder clavicle.
In a straight line, it was a decomposition and collapse, inexcusable!
But this was not the end...
After Mozambia briefly emerged from the water, a towering figure shrouded in black smoke appeared on the other side of Whitebeard.
Admiral Akainu moved swiftly with his mantle of justice straightened, clenched his right fist, and transformed into a small lava giant that struck at Whitebeard.
"Meigo - Nether Hound!!!"
Bang!
The undulating and terrifying lava on his fist seemed to come to life, and the evil giant dog's mouth opened, emitting scorching high temperatures as the terrifying aura came towards him.
To deal with Kizaru's attack on Marco, Whitebeard first acted to break the encirclement.
Then, when Mozambia ambushed him with the final move, Whitebeard had to mobilize Haoshoku Haki to deal with Mozambia and buy time for countermeasures.
But at this moment of depletion, Akainu decisively acted!
As the only true killing move, whether it was Kizaru or Mozambia, it was all to buy time and create an opportunity for him.
However...
"It's not over!!!"
Whitebeard stared with his narrow and domineering eyes, standing straight, his lazy tone displaying the dominance and confidence of the World's Strongest.
By all accounts, Akainu was less than a meter away from him. It was too late to turn around at that moment. The large naginata was tailored to his seven-meter height and was simply unable to defend against a surprise attack from this distance.
However, without a weapon, Whitebeard still had his fists.
Hoo...
Facing Akainu's extremely ferocious lava dog, Whitebeard held the sword with one hand, released his left hand, and then clenched his fist, twisting with force.
Bang!!!
"Puff!"
The swinging fist was like a heavy hammer. In an instant, most of the magma around Akainu's body was dispersed, following in its footsteps.
A sweep that dispersed Kizaru!
A smash that defeated Mozambia!
A punch that sent Akainu flying!
Facing the ambush of the Admiral's involvement, Whitebeard made this unprecedented response!
