Chapitre 35: Teamwork
"Whitebeard, you scoundrel!"
Akainu's anger reached its pinnacle as he furiously shouted. Under the scrutinizing eyes of the Marine officers, he was forcefully held down on the ground, completely immobilized. This was an absolute disgrace for him.
In a furious roar, he disregarded Whitebeard's grip on his head and unleashed his full strength, emitting scorching heat from his body.
"Perish for me… Inugami Guren!!!"
His arm transformed into molten lava, taking the shape of a dog's head as it extended, ferociously lunging towards Whitebeard.
"Attack together!"
Aokiji commanded. The freezing frost gathered in his hands, and with a forceful push, it materialized into a colossal ice bird.
The ice bird emerged, seemingly imbued with life.
Ice Block: Pheasant Beak!
With precision, the ice bird flapped its wings and charged towards Whitebeard. As it soared through the air, a trail of freezing coldness spread, turning the ground into a frozen path.
"So, you boys plan to attack simultaneously, huh?"
Whitebeard leaped into the air. Effortlessly dodging Akainu's lava in the form of a dog, he raised his fist and brought it crashing down towards the flying ice bird.
BOOM!
The shockwave rippled through the air. The ice bird collided with tremendous force, instantly exploding into icy fragments.
"Don't forget about me~"
Seizing the opportune moment, Kizaru swiftly moved, appearing behind Whitebeard in a flash.
Joining his hands together, Kizaru emitted a radiant golden light that shimmered in the air. With a graceful motion, he spread his arms apart, conjuring a gleaming golden longsword known as Ama no Murakumo.
In a swift and piercing maneuver, Kizaru slashed the sword towards Whitebeard's back. "Guurarara~" echoed Whitebeard's hearty laughter. "Kizaru, sneaking up on someone isn't a good habit!"
Whitebeard, sensing the impending danger, swiftly turned around, meeting Kizaru's attack with a mighty swing of his formidable blade. The clash of metal echoed through the air, sparks flying as the two titans clashed with tremendous force.
Despite the initial clash, Kizaru intensified his assault, unleashing a rapid barrage of lightning-fast strikes. However, Whitebeard, at the peak of his strength, exhibited unparalleled physical prowess, endurance, and Haki. It was as if he had regained his youthful vigor.
Kizaru's attacks proved futile as Whitebeard skillfully deflected each strike with powerful swings of his Naginata. A frown creased Kizaru's face, mirroring the disbelief shared by Sengoku. The old age of Whitebeard seemed incongruent with the boundless strength and resilience he displayed.
The clash continued with another resounding clang of weapons colliding. In a surprising move, Kizaru ascended to a higher altitude, transforming his longsword into swift beams of light – Yasakani no Magatama. Countless light bullets rained down with undeniable power.
"Kuzan!" Kizaru shouted, signaling Aokiji for assistance. "Leave it to me!" Aokiji responded, his eyes flashing with determination. He raised his arm, unleashing a forceful swing that spread his icy frost, freezing the ground and encroaching upon Whitebeard's feet in a relentless advance.
Within an instant, Whitebeard's feet were trapped in the icy grip of Aokiji's power. Akainu couldn't help but release a deep, cold laugh. "Whitebeard, now you have nowhere to run!"
With Whitebeard immobilized by Aokiji's frost, and the looming threat of countless light bullets above him, Akainu declared triumphantly, "so… Go to death... Whitebeard!!!" The deafening roar echoed across the battleground of Marineford, marking a pivotal moment in the intense confrontation between the forces.
He harbored an intense disdain for Whitebeard, and the prospect of being overpowered by him was the ultimate humiliation in Akainu's life.
In the midst of the deafening roars, Akainu's arm underwent a dramatic transformation, morphing into scorching molten lava. A powerful punch sent the molten blast surging forward like a blazing beam, executing his fearsome technique, Dark Hound.
The blow was nearly instantaneous, striking with incredible speed. Panic ensued as cries of "Not good!" and "Father is in danger!" echoed through the air. The three Admirals teaming up had elevated the confrontation to a level of unprecedented difficulty, leaving the Whitebeard Pirates group visibly shaken.
"Old Whitebeard, don't die!" exclaimed Crocodile, who had been observing from a distance, growing anxious at the perilous situation.
"Father!" Jinbei rushed forward, attempting to support Whitebeard, but Kuma steadfastly blocked his path, preventing any advancement.
In the midst of the chaos, Marco's voice cut through the fear, yelling angrily: "Believe in father! Don't forget, Pops is the strongest in the world; how could he get hurt because of this trick!"
His words served as a rallying cry, snapping everyone out of their shock. Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world, surely wouldn't succumb even with three Admirals surrounding him. Renewed determination surged through the crew members as they let out a resounding roar, charging towards the Marines.
However, the Marines, viewing Whitebeard as their enemy, were unfazed. Seeing Whitebeard in danger, their cheers echoed with hope, anticipating the Admirals seizing the opportunity to strike him down.
Yet, their hopes were soon shattered. As the Admirals' attacks closed in, Whitebeard, far from being harmed, let out a hearty laugh. The crew's spirits were lifted as they witnessed his fearless demeanor.
Whitebeard raised his arm, tightly crossed them, and delivered a powerful strike into the air. "Guurarara~" he laughed heartily. "These three fellows, their attack won't harm me at all!!!"
The air shattered, cracks spreading across the entire island. The ground rumbled and cracked with a continuous series of loud fissures.
In this breathtaking moment, the whole world seemed to quake. The enormous crack spread, swallowing countless Marines in its wake. Faced with the combined attack of three Admirals, Whitebeard unleashed his mighty power, leaving an indelible mark on the battlefield.
