"Borsalino!"
Sengoku's expression on the execution stage twisted in sheer disbelief. Kizaru, one of the three Admirals of the Marines, found himself momentarily stunned by the sheer power of Whitebeard. In the hierarchy of strength among the Admirals, Kizaru might not be the mightiest, but his escape skills were unparalleled. Despite his extraordinary abilities, he couldn't escape unscathed from Whitebeard's relentless attack, leaving him with an unusual vulnerability.
In his prime, Whitebeard showcased unimaginable strength that baffled even the seasoned Sengoku. Frustration etched on Sengoku's face as he struggled to comprehend the enduring might of the old pirate. Yet, dwelling on it had to wait as the chaos unfolded. Whitebeard halted the three Admirals, and now Bullet and Luffy charged recklessly toward the execution platform.
Luffy was no match for Whitebeard, but Bullet was a different story. Once a formidable force on Roger's ship, Bullet rivaled even the Dark King Rayleigh, Roger's Vice Captain. The top priority now was to thwart Bullet and prevent him from rescuing Ace.
Below the execution platform, Kizaru, having swiftly returned to his position, formed a triangular formation again, encircling Whitebeard. The previous strike had shaken Kizaru, making him realize the true monstrosity of the opponent before him. The initial recklessness vanished, replaced by a dignified expression.
"Don't let your guard down. I can't explain why, but I have a hunch that Whitebeard hasn't unleashed his full power yet!" Aokiji warned seriously, remembering the sheer force of Whitebeard's previous punch.
Despite being over seventy years old, Whitebeard's strength remained terrifying. Akainu, undeterred, took the initiative, locking his gaze on Whitebeard and unleashing his fiery assault.
"Die, Whitebeard!"
Lava surged onto Akainu's fist as he aimed to deliver a devastating blow. Whitebeard, however, remained unfazed. With a nonchalant grin, he summoned a visible ball of light that clashed with Akainu's lava-infused fist, resulting in a cataclysmic collision.
The powerful clash unleashed a devastating gust of wind, creating a raging hurricane that swept through the surroundings. Akainu leapt back, and as the dust settled, the obscured view slowly revealed the aftermath of the clash. The two mighty forces had collided, leaving a momentary pause in the chaotic battlefield.
From the billowing dust and smoke emerged a formidable figure, moving swiftly through the haze. As the particles settled, there stood the legendary Whitebeard, a force to be reckoned with.
Locking eyes with Akainu, fear seized him, beads of cold sweat tracing a rapid path down his face. Even as a Marine Admiral, the overwhelming pressure from this iconic figure suffocated him, making him take involuntary steps back.
Step!
Two steps!
Three steps!
Whitebeard's sheer presence compelled Akainu to retreat, his face growing more serious by the moment. A murmur of "Damn it!" escaped Akainu's lips, his displeasure evident. As a Marine Admiral, his every move reflected on the reputation of the entire organization.
The shameful step backward weighed heavily on him. "Magma kid!" boomed a voice, jolting Akainu awake. Startled, he looked up to piercing eyes and raised fists.
"That's bad!" In sheer horror, Akainu instinctively activated his elementalization ability. Whitebeard's fist, raised high, collided with Akainu's head, the impact echoing with a resounding BOOM. The force of the punch sent Akainu crashing to the ground, a loud CRACK accompanying the impact.
As Akainu's head was driven into the ground, he managed to elementalize in time, but not without sustaining injuries. Blood flowed down his face, staining it crimson. The once imposing Admiral now appeared thoroughly embarrassed, lacking the aura that defined his rank.
"Damn it all!!!" Akainu seethed with rage, his dignity shattered in the wake of Whitebeard's overwhelming might.
In the vast realm of the Marines, where power reigns supreme, one figure towers above all—the Admiral. A symbol of authority and might. But now, in a twist of fate, he finds himself in a situation akin to a helpless chicken, pinned down by the formidable Whitebeard. The once-mighty Admiral struggles, akin to a furious fowl, but to no avail.
The scene is nothing short of humiliating for the Admiral. His attempts to rise from this undignified position are futile, met with a harsh reality—a reality shaped by the overwhelming strength of Whitebeard.
Whitebeard's power is an indomitable force, refusing to release its grip on the Admiral. The onlookers, fellow marines, are gripped by terror and horror. Their faces betray their fear, trembling uncontrollably at the sight before them. Questions echo through their minds. How can the highest combat power in the unit be completely subdued by Whitebeard? Is this a cruel jest, or is it the grim truth?
Admiral Akainu, once hailed as the Marine's strongest fighter, now lies suppressed beneath Whitebeard's unyielding arm. The monster of the New World, the world's top powerhouse—reduced to a state of shock and vulnerability. The despair among the marines is palpable, a mix of horror, fear, and disbelief.
The top-ranked Marines, revered for their prowess, begin to doubt their ability to thwart Whitebeard's mission to save Ace. The ordinary soldiers, already on edge, question the feasibility of resisting this unstoppable force. The Admirals, one by one, falling to injuries, add to the growing uncertainty.
Despair becomes the prevailing emotion, casting a shadow over the once-unshakeable morale of the Marines. Even the most timid among them, overwhelmed by the hopelessness of the situation, choose to abandon their weapons and flee. The once-mighty force now faces a daunting challenge—how to stand against a power that has shattered the very pillars of their strength.
