Chapter 44: 44 Absolute Justice - Akainu
"…"
Sengoku remained silent, his fist clenched tightly.
He understood the consequences of his decision to evacuate.
At that time, the news of Marineford's defeat will surely spread worldwide.
Marines reputation suffered a major blow as a result.
For this reason, both the New World and Paradise will witness a significant rise in the number of pirates.
And so, when the order to retreat was given
The era of the great pirates may come once again!
"Sengoku!"
Looking at Sengoku who hadn't responded for a long time, Garp grabbed Sengoku by the collar, his voice filled with urgency.
"Huh~"
Sengoku took a deep breath, trembling slightly, and grabbed a Den-Den Mushi. In a hoarse voice, he shouted: "All Marines, follow the order and evacuate Marineford!"
After saying this, he closed his eyes.
In an instant, he seemed to age by more than ten years.
Executing Ace was his plan to deter the New World pirates.
If successful, executing Ace would have elevated Marines authority and reduced the number of pirates.
But now… it failed!
So it's understandable that this will have a significant impact on Marines, and he fears that they won't be able to maintain control over the New World in the future.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
All Vice Admirals displayed sorrow on their faces.
They understood the immense burden Sengoku had to bear when giving out those orders.
"All the blame and burden will fall solely on me. All Marines, evacuate immediately!"
Sengoku took a deep breath and shouted into the Den-Den Mushi.
"Yes!"
The marines immediately sprang into action.
They quickly organized themselves, fighting against the rushing water waves while making their way to safety.
Despite their valiant efforts, the towering water waves proved overwhelming, and the Marine officers' resistance had little impact.
In just a short time, the island was mostly swallowed by the relentless waves.
Unfortunate marines were swept into the water by the powerful waves, desperately calling for help.
Initially, there were individuals who bravely attempted to rescue them.
However, as more and more Marines found themselves in the water, the rescuers became overwhelmed and unable to save everyone.
"Ignore them, keep retreating!"
Kizaru shouted.
Evacuating such a large number of people from the island is not a simple task and cannot be done immediately.
If they continue to prioritize rescue people from the waves, they will risk losing their own lives in the process.
Therefore, they have to abandon those who fell into the water.
Only then can they ensure the majority of their forces are safely withdrawn.
"Damn it!"
Smoker gritted his teeth.
But he also knew that this command was absolutely necessary in the current situation.
So he had no choice but to turn his attention and use his smoke abilities to save the marines around him, tossing them onto the warship.
"Let's leave too!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru sighed, then looked at Sengoku and Garp: "Marineford will sink soon."
"...…"
Sengoku remained silent, his gaze fixed on Whitebeard, and he spoke with a weary voice: "Whitebeard, you have won this war!"
"But… Marines haven't lost yet!"
"No matter where you run next, I'll catch you!"
He had made up his mind and wasted no time in pursuing Whitebeard as soon as he returned to the warship.
If he could capture Whitebeard in the following pursuit, the war wouldn't be a total failure.
"Guurarara~"
"Sengoku, I'll be waiting for you in these seas!"
Whitebeard laughed fearlessly.
"Go!"
Sengoku remained silent and turned away, leading a group of marines soldiers.
As more and more Marine soldiers, including Sengoku and other marines, evacuated from the island.
Only two individuals remained standing in their original positions.
One person is naturally Whitebeard.
And the other is...….. Akainu!
That's right!
Akainu didn't leave!
Instead, he glared at Whitebeard, his body trembling with fury.
"How dare you escape safely, how dare you trample upon the might of the Marines!"
Akainu was furious.
As a firm believer in absolute justice, he couldn't accept this outcome in the slightest.
With the presence of the Shichibukai and an army of one hundred thousand marines soldiers.
But they were defeated and forced to retreat in humiliation.
If this news spreads, how can Marines maintain its presence in the New World!
So no matter what, He must make Whitebeard pay the price and uphold Marine's authority at all costs!
"Magma boy, haven't you had enough trouble?"
Whitebeard didn't care.
Although the three-minute double combat power card had expired, Sengoku and the others had already evacuated.
Akainu, standing alone, didn't even catch his attention.
Because he had regained his full power.
If it's just a one-on-one fight...
No one in the world can match his strength!
"I will personally take your head off and show those fools in the New World the consequence of defying the Marines!"
Akainu declares.
With a fierce gesture, his arms swung down.
The scorching lava surged, forming a massive fist mark that crashed into Whitebeard.
Dark Hound!
This blow is nearly unstoppable.
It rushed towards Whitebeard in an instant, aiming to pierce him.
"Guurarara~"
"Magma boy, you are too arrogant!"
Whitebeard smiled calmly.
With a sideways motion, Whitebeard's fist collided with the incoming attack.
BOOM!
There was a loud noise.
The shockwave rippled through the air, colliding with the magma fist print and causing it to shatter into pieces.
After the powerful strike, Whitebeard raised his Naginata and charged forward in a determined straight line.
With the island on the verge of sinking, Whitebeard had no time to waste.
and...…
Once all the Marines had been evacuated.
With Sengoku character, he will definitely pursue the Whitebeard Pirates.
He had to quickly return to the Moby Dick before Sengoku issued any orders, and then depart with the fleet.
"Whitebeard, die for me!"
Seeing Whitebeard charging towards him, Akainu showed no fear and unleashed a roaring punch.
but...…
Whitebeard stood his ground, refusing to evade.
Akainu's attack was about to hit Whitebeard directly.
Just as Akainu's fist was about to hit him, Whitebeard swiftly raised his arm and coated his palm with dense Armament Haki. He firmly grasped Akainu fist, halting the attack in its tracks.
The intense heat emanating from Akainu fist caused white smoke to billow around Whitebeard gripping palms.
Ignoring the scorching heat, Whitebeard maintained a tight grip, preventing the other party from breaking free.
"What the !"
Akainu face turned pale with a look of alarm.
Before Akainu could react, Whitebeard forcefully thrust his Naginata into the ground. As he clenched his fist, a dazzling ball of light formed at its center.
"Magma boy...…"
A deep voice rang in Akainu's ears.
Then, in a split second, a huge fist came hurtling towards him.
BOOM!
Loud sound.
Akainu, once full of arrogance, was now forcefully struck down by a single punch.
As the shockwave rippled outward, his head gradually descended, sinking into the ground.
Crack~
The ground exploded.
Akainu's face was covered in blood, while Whitebeard remained firmly pressed him into the pit.
No matter how much Akainu struggled, he couldn't break free from Whitebeard's firm grasp.
