Chapter 169 - Chapter 169 World-Shocking Power! Whitebeard VS Three Admirals!

Upon hearing Sengoku's words, the Three Admirals, Akainu, immediately became serious and focused.

Only the three of them understood why Sengoku had to say such words specifically to them.

Previously, the three of them had teamed up to besiege the Straw Hat on the Sabaody Archipelago, but they couldn't even force Luffy to act.

That incident infuriated Sengoku.

Logically, if the three of them had gone all out, such a situation would never have occurred.

That's why Sengoku specifically warned them this time.

The last failure at most allowed the Straw Hat to escape, but if they failed this time, then the Marine would likely decline from then on.

After Sengoku's reminder, the aura of the Three Admirals suddenly changed dramatically.

All three of them exuded an incredibly powerful aura.

...

Sengoku's sudden order made all the pirates, including those watching the live broadcast, feel very strange!

Watching countless well-known Marine senior combatants suddenly rush down from the plaza, people watching the live broadcast were puzzled.

"Isn't the Marine the defending side? Why are they actively launching an attack?"

"All the ones dispatched are famous big shots!"

"What is the Marine doing? Do they want to strike first and eliminate the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Dragon also felt very puzzled watching Sengoku's tactic, muttering,

"Abandoning the high ground to engage the enemy means giving up our own advantage, which will definitely cause greater damage!"

"Why is Sengoku doing this?"

"Why does he specifically want to speed up the pace of the war?"

Dragon couldn't understand this question no matter how much he thought about it.

He didn't know that Sengoku was worried about the existence of Luffy and the others.

...

On the battlefield!

Whitebeard also couldn't help but frown upon hearing Sengoku's words.

He believed that Sengoku would not give such an order for no reason.

But he still didn't know the exact reason.

However, he saw a hint of urgency and worry in Sengoku's expression, which made Whitebeard couldn't help but grin and mutter,

"What are you worried about, Sengoku?"

Just as Whitebeard was staring at Sengoku in thought, those well-known Marine senior combatants had all arrived on the battlefield.

Everyone formed a circle, completely surrounding the Whitebeard Pirates.

Seeing this scene.

Whitebeard's commanders and all the pirates no longer dared to hold back, all disembarking and rushing towards the Marine.

"They're here! It's the Marine's elites!"

"Charge! Let them see the power of our Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Take down these Marine and rescue Ace!"

Just as these shouts and cheers echoed in Whitebeard's ears, the figures of the Three Admirals suddenly appeared simultaneously in his line of sight.

"Whitebeard! Prepare for your funeral!"

The first to speak was Akainu, who had always been on the front line.

And as he spoke these words, his huge magma fist had already slammed towards Whitebeard.

Whitebeard looked at the three in front of him, grinned and said,

"Hmph! The brats are all here!"

As his voice fell, he clenched his fist and swung it forward.

Boom!

The atmosphere was shattered again.

And Akainu's huge magma fist seemed to be separated by a broken barrier, blocking in front.

"Ice Ball!"

Aokiji suddenly leaped up at this moment, his right hand turning into ice.

He was about to shoot ice at Whitebeard.

And just then, a shimmering figure suddenly leaped up and crashed towards Aokiji at an extremely rapid speed.

"Don't even think about attacking Pops!"

It was Jozu who spoke.

Seeing Jozu charging towards him, Aokiji reluctantly had to temporarily cancel this attack.

And instead, he defended against Jozu's impact.

And accumulating power with Aokiji was Kizaru on the other side.

When Whitebeard made a move to block Akainu, he had already accumulated a laser attack on his foot.

But just as he was about to shoot it, a blue figure suddenly flew rapidly from the sky.

"Didn't I say not to think about eating the [King] at the very beginning!"

Marco said in a deep voice.

At the moment he was about to approach Kizaru, he suddenly transformed into a half-human form and kicked towards Kizaru.

And Kizaru, having already discovered Marco's attack, instantly changed the direction of his foot, which was originally aimed at Whitebeard, and violently collided with Marco.

Seeing the first wave of combined attacks organized by the Three Admirals being disintegrated, Sengoku immediately shouted loudly to the battlefield,

"Tokikake, Vice Admiral Momousagi!"

"Go stop those two commanders!"

"Everyone else, fully restrain all the commanders, don't let them relieve Whitebeard!"

Hearing Sengoku's high-pitched and excited voice, Doflamingo was extremely excited and couldn't help but laugh,

"Fufufufufu…"

"Are they planning to eliminate the strongest enemy at the very beginning?!"

"How exciting!"

Just as Doflamingo was laughing and watching the show, Sengoku suddenly shouted in his direction,

"What are you two waiting for?"

"Hurry up and intercept the commanders!"

Hearing Sengoku shouting at them in such a commanding tone, Doflamingo couldn't help but feel a little displeased, and said with a chuckle,

"Fufufufufu…"

"That tone sounds really annoying!"

But despite saying so, he still joined the battlefield with Hawkeye.

They were now on the Marine's side, so naturally, they had to help the Marine take down the enemy in one fell swoop at such a time.

Moreover, witnessing the demise of a generation's King of the Sea also made Doflamingo feel incredibly excited.

After Sengoku directed the battlefield situation, the entire battlefield's situation changed in an instant.

After Aokiji and Jozu collided, the two temporarily separated.

It was also at this time that Sengoku's order suddenly sounded.

Upon hearing the sound, Aokiji no longer paid attention to Jozu, but instead changed his attack direction, once again aiming at Whitebeard.

Jozu immediately wanted to go up and stop him when he saw this.

But as he transformed into his diamond form and charged towards Aokiji.

A brown figure suddenly flashed and attacked him from the side.

He turned his head to look and saw Tokikake with a smile on his face, saying with a chuckle,

"Hehehehehe…"

"I'll be your opponent!"

Jozu originally wanted to charge fiercely and knock Tokikake away to go support Whitebeard.

But to his shock, as he charged towards Tokikake, he found that he couldn't instantly break through Tokikake's interception.

Instead, he was blocked by an extremely powerful Armament Haki.

Tokikake smiled again and said,

"Hehe…"

"This is Fleet Admiral Sengoku's order, so you can rest assured and stay here!"

"I'll have a good time playing with you!"

Upon hearing Sengoku's order, Kizaru also no longer paid attention to Marco.

Instead, his figure flashed, creating some distance, and he came near Vice Admiral Momousagi.

Then, he once again accumulated power, aiming a laser at Whitebeard.

Seeing Kizaru accumulate power once again, Marco immediately gritted his teeth and sped towards Kizaru.

But just as he was about to rush to Kizaru's side, a pink figure suddenly flashed out, blocking in front of Kizaru.

At the same time, a cold gleam suddenly shot out.

Vice Admiral Momousagi, holding her famous sword, swung a blade at the flying Marco.

Marco's figure was instantly cut open by a huge crack in the middle.

But very quickly, that crack healed with the fiercely burning blue flames.

Seeing that both he and Jozu were stopped, Marco immediately shouted to the other commanders below,

"Vista! You guys hurry and protect Pops!"

Vista was currently fighting the Marine, and upon hearing Marco's voice from above, he immediately swung his sword fiercely, sending several Marine in front of him flying.

Then, he changed direction, intending to go to Whitebeard's side to help resolve the encirclement by the Three Admirals.

But as he leaped into mid-air, he suddenly felt a dangerous aura coming from his side.

He sharply turned his head to look and saw Hawkeye holding his black blade, swinging an incredibly powerful slash towards him.

Seeing this, Vista immediately twisted his body, barely dodging the slash.

However, he was intercepted and landed on the ice.

Hawkeye's slash, after being dodged, did not stop and continued to fly forward.

It actually split a giant frozen wave in two.

Such a powerful attack made everyone gasp in admiration.

The other captains also wanted to go support Whitebeard, but they were all intercepted.

Their strength and numbers were too disparate compared to the entire Marine.

They simply couldn't break through the Marine's heavy blockade.

Furthermore, facing the encirclement of so many high-level combatants from the Marine, the ordinary pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates were being decimated at an astonishing rate.

Conversely,

the situation outside the bay was just the opposite.

Because the Marine had committed a large amount of its forces to attacking the Whitebeard Pirates,

the Marine was being beaten back step by step by the other pirates under Whitebeard's command, and the battlefield was continuously shifting deeper into the bay.

"Quickly break through the Marine and support Pops!"

"The Marine wants to concentrate all their strength on Pops and his crew before we arrive. We must go support them as soon as possible."

"Take down the Marine, rescue Ace and Pops!"

"Charge!"

Amidst high-spirited shouts, the pirates outside the bay instantly charged towards the bay at an extremely rapid pace.

Watching the situation unfold like this, Whitebeard's brows furrowed tightly.

He couldn't help but glance at Sengoku on the high platform and muttered in a deep voice,

"Are you trying to use this method to quickly force all the pirates into the bay?"

"What exactly are you planning?"

"Sengoku?!"

Whitebeard currently couldn't fathom Sengoku's intentions.

But he firmly believed that Sengoku definitely had some kind of scheme.

Just as he was thinking this, Marco's startled cry suddenly came from afar.

"Pops! Look out!"

Hearing this sound, Whitebeard immediately focused his attention on the battle in front of him.

Akainu was engaging him in close combat, while Aokiji and Kizaru simultaneously aimed at him from both sides, launching two attacks.

Watching the two powerful attacks rapidly approach, Whitebeard remained completely unfazed.

He suddenly exerted force, pushing back Akainu, who was fighting him in close quarters.

Then, with a "clang," he planted the great sword, 叢云切, in his hand beside him.

The next second,

he simultaneously clenched both fists and swung them fiercely at the two attacks flying from either side.

The atmosphere on both sides shattered simultaneously; Aokiji's ice and Kizaru's light were completely shattered by the powerful shockwaves.

Aokiji's body was once again shattered into broken ice, while Kizaru's body appeared as if a huge hole had been blasted through it, shining with yellow light from within.

After quickly completing all of this, Whitebeard showed no intention of stopping.

Instead, a more powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body.

He frowned deeply, clenching both hands into claw shapes.

Suddenly, he made a grabbing motion in the air diagonally upwards.

Immediately, the air seemed to be grasped by him, and several claw marks appeared out of nowhere.

Then, he suddenly pulled sharply downwards diagonally.

The ground immediately began to tilt in the direction he pulled.

Everyone lost their balance and began to slide down the tilted ground.

What was even more exaggerated was that the entire island of Marineford, along with the surrounding sea, tilted with Whitebeard's action.

The buildings on the island began to collapse wildly, and the surrounding sea also churned furiously.

Such an astonishing sight completely shocked the entire Marineford and the whole world.

"Wah ah ah ah... I'm losing my balance!"

"This isn't just an earthquake, the entire sea and the whole island are tilting!"

"I can't stand still!"

"The town is collapsing!"

"What kind of power is this? It's too terrifying!"

Whitebeard's sudden action even brought the battle across the entire battlefield to a brief halt.

Doflamingo, temporarily free, couldn't help but spread his arms and laugh uproariously at this exaggerated scene.

"Fufufufufu..."

"This old man is too ridiculous!"

"To be able to be this strong!"

Hawkeye, too, couldn't help but feel shocked by Whitebeard's power at this moment, muttering,

"As expected of the man known as the strongest in the world!"

At the same time,

when Big Mom saw this scene, she even forgot to eat the dessert she had brought to her mouth, exclaiming in surprise,

"I didn't expect that old Whitebeard still has such powerful strength!"

"It's truly astonishing!"

Kaido was also shocked by Whitebeard's power, but he showed an unconvinced expression, saying coldly,

"Hmph! It's nothing more than a dying struggle!"

"With your sickly body, you still dare to use such powerful attacks."

"Are you saying you've made up your mind to die on this battlefield?"

...

Holy Land Mariejois!

Inside the Gorosei's conference room.

Pitte Saint said with a gloomy face and a deep voice,

"To think that after so many years, this man still possesses such terrifying power."

Saint Mars said coldly,

"After all, he's a legend from the previous era; even in his old age, he shouldn't be underestimated!"

Saint Nasujuro frowned and snorted coldly.

"Hmph! This is just his final struggle!"

"With his age and body, it's impossible for him to last long against the combined efforts of the Three Admirals!"

Saint Warcury nodded in agreement, echoing,

"That's right! Once the Marine eliminates Whitebeard, a new era will begin!"

"With such a huge threat gone, we will surely be able to further strengthen our rule in the coming new era."

Upon hearing this, Satan Saint couldn't help but frown, uttering a worried remark,

"But that kid still makes me very uneasy!"

"He will definitely have a place in the new era to come!"

When Satan Saint said this, the other Gorosei couldn't help but frown.

They were truly very worried about that [God] Fruit reappearing in the world.

...

Over at Marineford.

After Whitebeard tilted the entire island and the surrounding sea, he turned his head and glanced behind him.

The nearly hundred warships that had originally surrounded the island, as the sea tilted under his control, plunged diagonally downwards.

Dozens of them were instantly dealt with, sinking into the sea.

The tilted part of the island, under his control, was precisely separated from the outermost pirate ships.

So all those pirate ships were safe and sound.

Seeing such a sight, Whitebeard breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself,

"This way, even if we are completely surrounded, we will still have a way out!"

Without a large number of warships blocking the entrance, they would definitely be able to leave quickly when they wanted to retreat.

After leaving a retreat path for the pirates, Whitebeard turned his head back to face the Three Admirals in front of him.

Looking at the three figures before him, Whitebeard frowned, his eyes sharp, yet a smile played on his lips, exuding confidence and Haki.

"Brat!"

"If you want to take me down, you'll have to pay the price!"

Facing Whitebeard's domineering words, Akainu immediately snorted coldly.

"Hmph! Just a remnant of the previous era!"

"Today, I'll bury you right here!"

With that, Akainu's fist once again turned into magma, charging towards Whitebeard.

At the same time, Aokiji and Kizaru also attacked from the left and right sides simultaneously.

Together with Akainu, they formed a three-pronged pincer attack.

"Whitebeard! You can only block two people at most, right!"

"With the three of us attacking simultaneously, how will you defend?"
