The sea was shrouded in smoke and turbulent waves. Three warships of the Beasts Pirates surrounded the main vessel of the Whitebeard Pirates, their dark cannons gleaming with a cold metallic sheen.
Suddenly, a deafening roar pierced the sky: "Whitebeard, show me the power of the world's strongest!"
A white lightning bolt shot up from the flagship of the Beasts Pirates, revealing the nine-meter-tall wolfman Bullet, his muscles bulging and his iron fists coated in black Armament Haki. His crimson wolf eyes gleamed with bloodlust as he charged toward Edward Newgate with mountain-shattering force.
In that split second, an even faster figure intercepted. King, one
In an instant, King and Moria were sent flying backward like kites with severed strings. Whitebeard's seamless counterattack perfectly demonstrated the power of the world's strongest man.
Soaring into the air, King flapped his wings and stabilized himself mid-flight. Heavy breathing echoed from beneath his mask, clearly indicating he had sustained considerable injury from the previous blow. Simultaneously, Moria employed a similar method, his shadow transforming into wings that carried him aloft, his expression shifting between gloom and uncertainty.
Meanwhile, Bullet leaped through the air by stepping on it, unmistakably using the Navy Six Styles' Moon Walk. Wiping blood from the corner of his mouth, his fighting spirit burned even brighter: "As expected of Whitebeard!"
After Edward Newgate effortlessly neutralized the enemies' assault, his crew erupted in fury.
"Bastards, how dare you launch a sneak attack!" roared the members of the Whitebeard Pirates, brandishing their weapons ready for battle. Marco had already transformed into his phoenix form, azure flames blazing around him as he prepared to strike.
"Gurararara!" Whitebeard let out his signature laugh, raising a hand to halt his subordinates. "Stand down, my sons. Let me handle Kaidou's underlings and see what they're truly made of." His voice carried an undeniable authority, and the crew immediately ceased their movements.
At that moment, a massive figure emerged on a pirate ship to the left. Queen, in his Eight-Headed Serpent form, appeared menacingly, his eight ferocious snake heads swaying in the sea breeze, crimson tongues flickering incessantly. The scientist of the Beasts Pirates released his characteristic laugh: "Muhahaha! Whitebeard, taste my latest research achievement!"
Surprisingly, one of Queen's seven secondary heads stood out distinctly—it bore a dull metallic sheen, starkly different from the other six. As Queen's primary head reared high, the six ordinary heads encircled the unique one, which suddenly gaped wide to reveal a massive cannon barrel. An intense orange glow gathered at the muzzle, distorting the surrounding air with searing heat.
"Concentrated Death Cannon!"
With Queen's roar, a thick orange beam, as wide as a grown man's waist, shot through the air directly toward Whitebeard's position.
Wherever the beam passed, seawater instantly vaporized, carving a vacuum channel through the ocean. This lethal attack, capable of obliterating an entire mountain, made the Whitebeard Pirates hold their breath in apprehension.
"Gurararara! Not bad!" Whitebeard remained unruffled, clenching the same hand that had halted his crew. Dense Armament Haki swirled around his fist, shimmering with a faint white aura. He threw a punch straight at the incoming beam.
An invisible shockwave collided violently with the death beam mid-air, the two cataclysmic forces tearing and compressing against each other. The sea surface concave under the terrifying impact, forming a massive whirlpool.
Then—
Boom!
A deafening explosion resounded through the skies, a ring-shaped shockwave expanding outward and churning up colossal waves. Nearby pirate ships rocked violently from the force, those initially approaching now pushed backward by the surging tides.
Before the smoke from the explosion had even dissipated, a figure appeared before Bullet with lightning speed. Whitebeard's velocity was so incredible that no one present could react in time.
"Brat, go take a nap in the sea!" Newgate's fist, wielding terrifying tremoring power, slammed toward Bullet, causing fine cracks to appear in the surrounding space from the force of the punch.
At the critical moment, Bullet barely had time to cross his arms in front of his chest, channeling Armament Haki to its fullest for defense. Yet even so, he was sent flying by this heavy blow, his body plummeting like a cannonball toward the turbulent sea below.
