"Emporio Ivankov, the user of the Paramecia Hormone Fruit!"
On the execution platform, Sengoku gritted his teeth and exclaimed, "What a plan, Buggy! What a plan to accomplish multiple goals at once!"
Hearing Sengoku's words, Garp, who was sitting cross-legged on one side, scratched his head in confusion and asked, "Sengoku, what do you mean by that? How did that kid manage to achieve multiple goals?"
"The Paramecia Hormone Fruit possesses an ability called the Stimulation Hormone. It instantly energizes people, granting them the power to quickly recover to their peak state and go berserk! However, the side effects are extremely severe! Given Whitebeard's current physical condition, using this ability will surely result in his death!"
"What?!"
"..."
Garp let out an exclamation, and Ace, who knelt between the two, couldn't help but gasp. In this way, Whitebeard can unleash his combat power, suppress at least two Admirals, gain Whitebeard's gratitude, and allow Whitebeard to die like a true Emperor!
In doing so, the Four Emperors' position can be obtained by Buggy by getting Whitebeard's and his crew's gratitude. In doing so, Buggy not only avoids offending the Whitebeard Pirates and Ace but also gains their help in future.
Although most people, apart from a few naive members of the Whitebeard Pirates, can see that Whitebeard's visit here is essentially his final battle.
But the impact of Whitebeard dying in his old age or in his peak strength is entirely different from that of Whitebeard at his peak!
Just look at Whitebeard at this moment; he's completely changed, almost overpowering Akainu!
If Kizaru hadn't noticed in time and immediately joined forces with Akainu, Akainu would not only have been killed by Whitebeard but he would have been incapacitated at the very least!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this moment, Whitebeard can even employ Quake Quake ability with his legs, creating cracks in the air as he chases Akainu across the sky.
Fortunately, Kizaru is present to assist with defence, allowing the two of them to withstand Whitebeard's astonishing attack power!
Even so, both Kizaru and Akainu are shocked by the power of the Quake Quake Fruit, to the point where blood trickles from the corners of their mouths.
Let's go back a few minutes earlier.
Somewhere in Marineford, a group of individuals watches the battle unfold through a large screen. Without a doubt, this group is the Blackbeard Pirates, who have recently arrived from Impel Down.
Upon witnessing both Whitebeard and Akainu sustain injuries, Blackbeard suddenly reveals a mouthful of rotten teeth and smiles sinisterly.
" Ziehahaha! Everything is going according to plan! My dream of obtaining two Devil Fruit abilities is about to come true! Dad, even if you were once the strongest in the world, so what? Look at you now, all battered and beaten. Why not go out peacefully?! But if you were to die so peacefully, I wouldn't have a chance to fulfil my plan! Thanks to Brother Ace! Ziehahaha!"
At this time a few more individuals are standing behind Blackbeard compared to before. In addition to the original five members and the newly recruited Shiryu of Rain and several other individuals were once the most notorious criminals in Impel Down.
One of them is Catarina Devon, known as the "Crescent Moon Hunter," a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user who can transform into a Mythical Nine tails Demon Fox!
The second is Vasco Shot, known as "Mighty Drinker".
The third is Avalo Pizarro, known as the "Corrupt King," another Paramecia Devil Fruit user with the Island-Island Fruit ability.
The original member of the giant race, San Juan Wolf, was taken away by Buggy.
However, Blackbeard recruited another member of the giant race. Interestingly, this giant possesses the Mini-Mini Fruit ability and is known as the "Treacherous Giant," Barbarossa Cabalo.
At this moment, several individuals smile upon hearing Blackbeard's laughter, Blackbeard informed them of their next plans after recruiting them.
However, Shiryu of the Rain suddenly speaks up, "Wait a minute, Captain, look over there!"
Blackbeard follows Shiryu's pointed finger and sees Buggy sprinting towards Ivankov, who is fighting Bartholomew Kuma with one hand grabbed Ivankov's collar and threw him towards Whitebeard.
Seeing this, Blackbeard clenches his teeth and exclaims, "It's Buggy the Clown! What is he thinking?"
On the other side, Lafitte, known as the "Devil Sheriff," suddenly interjects, "Is he also aiming to be a Yonko? Could it be that he also has his sights set on Whitebeard and wants to kill him now?"
"Hey! That's quite possible!"
Blackbeard's eyes light up, and he laughs heartily.
"Ziehahaha, it's perfect to have this idiot do it for us! We don't have to lift a finger; it's amazing! Just watch him... Wait, why isn't he doing it? What is Ivankov doing?"
As Blackbeard stands there, perplexed, he notices Buggy's Chilling-evil laughter.
"Buggy the Clown!"
Blackbeard is overcome with anger, his face turning dark and his rotten teeth seemingly on the verge of shattering. At that moment, Shiryu put a hand on his Katana and said, "Captain, shall we attack?"
Blackbeard growls, "Do you think I need your advice, Shiryu? I am the captain!"
Shiryu of the Rain: "If we don't act now, we won't get another chance! Teach, you'll regret it!"
The remaining members of the Blackbeard Pirates: "..."
Blackbeard: "..."
It should be noted that Blackbeard feels as if he's suffocating in Buggy's shadow. Why does this man always outshine him in everything? He suddenly feels as if he has been living under Buggy's shadow all along!
