[Aokiji snorted coldly, condensing countless ice tridents in the sky!]
[He hurled them towards Whitebeard below.]
[The power of ice weapons rivals that of real ones!]
[An ordinary person hit by them would be torn apart instantly!]
[But who is Whitebeard?]
[Facing Aokiji's attack, he didn't even flinch, slashing his Murakumogiri directly!]
[Suddenly, the power of the tremor fruit erupted again.]
[An earthquake force swept the sky, neutralizing Aokiji's attacks and nearly shattering him!]
[Had Aokiji not used his ice fruit clone at the critical moment, he would've perished.]
[Yet, this forced him to retreat from the battlefield, plunging into the sea without a trace.]
[With Whitebeard's clash against the admiral, the battle officially begins!]
[Whitebeard's crew, led by their captain, leap from the ship one after another!]
[In Aokiji's created battlefield, they charge forth!]
[The navy, witnessing this, join the fray. Marines surge forward, armed and ready.]
[Now, the war truly commences!]
[Sounds of battle and cries echo throughout the area.]
[After Aokiji's initial failed attempt,]
[Kizaru, one of the three admirals, rushes forward!]
[With the Glint-Glint Fruit's power, he attacks with light!]
[Pinching his fingers, countless light spots gather behind him, bombarding downward.]
[This leaves numerous pirates gravely wounded, collapsing to the ground.]
[Yet, Whitebeard cannot stand idly by as Kizaru slaughters his crew!]
[Faced with this situation, he doesn't even need to speak for himself.]
[Marco, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, sprang into action.]
[Marco is a being who has consumed the mythical zoan Phoenix Fruit. Not only does he possess the ability to fly, but he also possesses rapid regenerative capabilities.]
[Furthermore, his combat prowess is formidable. With a swift kick, he momentarily repelled Kizaru from the battlefield.]
[Observing the two admirals confronting Marco one after another, Akainu grew restless...]
[He rose abruptly and unleashed a punch. Suddenly, a surge of magma surged forth, aimed at Whitebeard's head!]
[However, in the face of such an attack, Whitebeard didn't even flinch. He effortlessly neutralized the assault with a swing of his massive blade!]
[Thus, the three admirals acted successively, yet none could gain an advantage over Whitebeard!]
[Nonetheless, the conflict escalated further, with the intensity increasing as time passed.]
When has the world witnessed such a fearsome clash?
Moreover, it's a showdown between Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, and the Marine Admirals!
Despite the three admirals' concerted efforts, Whitebeard remained unscathed, leaving them seemingly at a disadvantage.
Once again, this evoked awe from the spectators—Whitebeard truly lives up to his name!
Even in his old age, his strength remains formidable!
(Just his presence alone exudes an overwhelming aura!)
Simultaneously, the Whitebeard Pirates!
They all watched the live broadcast, their anticipation palpable. However, as Whitebeard took the spotlight, there was an absence of the usual thrill and joy in their hearts. Instead, their expressions became deeply complex.
They understood the gravity of this battle—it involved their family within the pirate crew and their crucial comrade, Ace!
Ace's life hung in the balance.
