At this moment, readers were in an unprecedented state of excitement.
After all, the Whitebeard had demonstrated his power directly upon arrival, causing a super tsunami on both coasts, terrifying the marine soldiers.
Tremendous power capable of causing earthquakes! That's what the Whitebeard represents.
The readers' mouths dropped open, and their eyes nearly bulged from their sockets at the sight of the Whitebeard breaking the air on both sides as if shattering a mirror!
"What power is this...!?"
"Can humans attain such power in our world?"
"What devil fruit is this!?"
"Amazing... with this power, even strong characters in Naruto, Hunter x Hunter, and Bleach have to step back in the presence of the Whitebeard!"
"How many marines will die in the tsunamis caused by the Whitebeard's earthquake!"
"I don't think strong characters in the marine will just sit in their seats without intervening and seeing their men die... right?"
On Jaya Island in the Grand Line, the gathered readers sat on the edge of their seats with excitement, whether they were pirates, hunters, marines, or ordinary civilians. They were all equal in this moment, discussing the events of the chapters among themselves as if they were long-time friends.
Among them was a young man who felt a spiritual connection to this place and inexplicably embraced it, Mont Blanc Cricket, who always came to Jaya and even got himself a house here, of course with his personal guards still with him.
"What does the Whitebeard plan to do?" Cricket's eyes narrowed as he watched the events unfold in the chapter.

Chapter's Events:
—————————
Returning to Luffy with him, Ivankov pondered, "We're through the gate!! Now then, my concern is whether your and Ace's father is going to show up here or not!!!"
"Mine and Ace's?" Luffy questioned in surprise upon hearing that.
This prompted Ivankov to whisper softly in Luffy's ear, "Well, I hardly think Dragon would do nothing when Ace, his own son, is about to be executed…"
"Oh, right… Ace and I don't have the same father! Ace's father is Gold Roger!" Luffy clarified, cautioning, "He's never met him, though. Kinda sucks, huh? He gets pretty mad if you bring it up, mind you."
"WHAAAA!!?" Everyone on the ship shouted in shock upon hearing that.
"Oh, yeah… This is a secret, okay?" Luffy didn't realize that this truth was no longer a secret from now on.
…
Back at the battlefield, Whitebeard laughed, "Gurarararara…"
Which further soured Sengoku's mood, "To think that he would show up right under our noses in an instant…"
At that moment, a deep smile appeared on Whitebeard's face as he tightened his fists together and then, boom!, struck both fists against the air, which shattered strangely like glass.
"What!!!? The air is cracking!!?" The marine soldiers were horrified by this scene as the sea turned into a stuffed ball and the ground beneath the marines's feet trembled and rose as if it were kneaded like jelly.
"AAAHHH!!!"
"AAAAGHHH!!!"
"What the heck was that explosion!!?"
"Not good… Look at the height of that wave!!!" The marine soldiers closest to the sea witnessed a cinematic scene after Whitebeard struck the air… the scene was terrifying and difficult to describe.
An expression of agony contorted Sengoku's face at that moment as he exclaimed, "A sea quake!!!"
•———•———•———•———•———•
In the Sorbet Kingdom, the general mood was calm at this moment as the display of power by Whitebeard left readers unable to express their feelings in words.
Ivankov looked at Dragon and whispered quietly, "It seems my counterpart was seriously thinking that Ace is your son."
"Anyone in your situation would have thought the same. Well, Luffy finally cleared up the mystery for you in the end," Dragon nodded in response.
"Let's forget about that now, Buwahahaha! It seems Newgate is determined to destroy Marineford... I never imagined I'd be cheering for that old evil geezer."
Garp laughed heartily, but seriously, he didn't expect to feel excitement at seeing a great pirate attacking the marine.
"That's because your sense of justice has finally become clear, Oyaji... Whitebeard just wants to save his son, isn't that obvious? Unlike an old man who allowed himself to become a full-fledged slave to the World Government to the point where he couldn't do what he really wanted."
Dragon's eyes were dark as he said these words, not entirely pleased with Garp's portrayal in the manga.
After all, anyone could see Garp's internal struggles in this freshly begun war.
"..."
Hearing that, Garp showed a helpless smile; he had to admit that his son's words were absolutely right.
After all, when Dragon wanted to revolt, he came to him and wanted to liberate him from the constraints imposed by the World Government, in a way, he wanted him to become a revolutionary too. But at that time, Garp flatly refused and, conversely, wanted to dissuade his son from becoming a revolutionary.
"The World Government is still lurking deeply; they only use the marine to destroy Whitebeard pirates, and it seems they can do it easily," Crocodile commented wisely.
"That's why I look forward to seeing how mature the Revolutionary Army has become in the manga after silently growing for decades... even though I know it's impossible to match the World Government, which has been growing for 800 years, and without a huge enemy like Rob." Dragon expressed his desire to see what the Revolutionary Army truly looks like in the manga.
…
"Man... this power..."
"It seems he can destroy the world..."
"He can cause earthquakes... what terrifying power!"
"Did such a great man come out from here... from Sphinx?"
"Seeing the destruction caused by a simple punch really makes me feel how small I am... now I truly understand the extent of my childishness when I wanted to go out to sea and become a pirate in the past."
"Man, did you also want to follow in Whitebeard's footsteps? I had the same dream!"
"Look, the sea is split and the land is destroyed, this immense power is what the right Devil Fruit can give you!"
"I don't think anyone can do that just by eating a Devil Fruit, that's the level of the Yonko we're talking about..."
From the shock and astonishment, the residents of Sphinx couldn't believe that the person who always sent them aid and his wealth had such power.
Especially since the young version of this old man was sitting with them at this moment.
Pirates, hunters, marines, and government agents who were here because they believed Whitebeard would do the same thing he did at Marineford were all tense.
