Capítulo 209: Arrival of Whitebeard
Division Commander Fossa and Kuina stood facing each other on a crystal top, amidst an overly enthusiastic and boisterous crowd. It was anything like a face-off between a Pirate and a Marine, more like the final game of the championship.
Kuina initiated the attack by grasping the hilt of her katana. A sudden aura began to form around her body, but it was far from the use of any Haki. It was simply the aura created by her momentum alone and long practice!
It was more like an illusion, but in a way, it represents the extension of one's spirit.
In a second, the aura morphed into a translucent white dragon figure, exuding a holy aura of purity and sovereignty. The pirates and marines alike were amazed by the dragon figure.
'Ohhh!' Blaize narrowed his eyes. The stunt was similar to Zoro's Nine sword style — a three-headed, six-armed silhouette that resemble mythological Asura.
The crystal ground beneath Kuina deformed in pressure as she charged forth. "Ittoryu: White Dragon's Roar!" Kuina roared. Sword drawn from the sheath!
The white dragon roared at the sky and transformed into a vibrant glow before dashing toward Fossa, the commander of the 15th division.
Facing the attack, Fossa didn't dare underestimate it as he tensed his legs in preparation and gripped the flaming sword with both hands.
Concentrating the strength into his hands, he waited for Kuina's attack to reach him. As the attack neared, he blocked the slash by coating his sword with Armament Haki.
'Clatter!' Upon collision, the crystal ground below Fossa burst as he exerted strength on his legs for better balance.
Alas, it was for naught. The power behind the slash forced him to leap back and skid on the crystal surface for a few meters before stabilizing his figure.
'Such power...She's more or less equal in strength to me except for physique. Besides, she possesses devil fruit power. And, it bothers me she isn't the one in command.'
Thinking through, Fossa peeked at the Marines from the corners of his eyes. 'Are they targeting Oyaji?'
At that moment, Kuina attacked again without giving the other party room to breathe.
The ensuing battle was fierce. Every clash showcased the supernatural power of the New World, and the close area between Kuina and Fossa began to shatter as a result of their strength.
The ground began to crumble beneath them, and the clashing of blades generated flickers of lightning that menaced the very atmosphere.
The Whitebeard pirates were confident in their commander but after a few minutes into the battle, they hushed and looked at one another in astonishment.
"She isn't your ordinary Marine girl...she can fight on par with Commander Fossa?"
"If she's this strong, then what about Vice Admiral Blaize who's called the 'Strongest Marine'? I'm afraid we don't stand a chance against him..."
"Don't worry. The arrival of Marines has been notified to the main ship, the others will arrive soon!" A pirate comforted himself and others around him.
The battle continued for another hour, and both combatants no longer fought at full strength. They need to recuperate the exhausted physical strength and haki.
At that moment, there was a sudden change in the calm sea as waves began to appear with much vigor as if they are welcoming the emperor.
"He's coming..." Blaize muttered and looked far west.
"Blaize-san, don't overdo it. If things get out of hand, Fleet Admiral Sengoku's wrath will probably burn me alive." Regis reminded in a helpless tone.
Seeing Blaize's unconcerned look, Regis smiled helplessly. 'It looks like I can't escape from the scolding...'

In no time, an awe-inspiring huge wave moved towards them. Unlike the Whitebeard pirates, the Marines on board were scared out of their wits seeing the huge wave crashing toward them.
But, Blaize's calm and confident demeanor soothed their wildly beating hearts. It gave them the courage to stand and confront the enemy.
As the colossal wave neared, it began to disperse and revealed the grand ship of the Whitebeard Pirates—Moby Dick. On the deck, the Division commanders stood around with Whitebeard at the center.
"It's Oyaji and others. Thank God!" The pirates of the 15th division breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid Division Commander Fossa would lose to the Marine girl.
Fossa and Kuina also stopped their battle. Kuina returned to Blaize's side while Fossa fell back to his ship.
Facing the legendary figure, Blaize was a little emotional. He respects Whitebeard for his character and courage, but he recognizes his strength the most.
"I was beginning to wonder if you would bother showing up at all, Whitebeard," Blaize spoke, his voice seemingly resonating from the sky.
Using Conqueror's Haki to transmit the sound, impacted the Whitebeard pirates as the voice sounded directly in their ears with powerful vigor and haki.
"Weird...The words directly sounded in my ears. Is it my illusion?" A pirate cried, checking his ears.
"It's not just you! It happened to everyone. My ears hurt a bit...is it devil fruit power?"
'Using Conqueror's haki to transmit the sound. He's no ordinary person." Marco first glanced at Blaize and then at Whitebeard in worry.
He knows Whitebeard's condition better than anyone. The latter's not in his prime as his health is worsening due to the disease. If Marines find this, it will bring trouble.
If it's any other Marine, he's confident in driving them out but against strong people of Admiral level and above, the Whitebeard pirates can only rely on their captain, Whitebeard.
"Gulalalaa. When I heard Marines came into the territory, I thought it was Garp or some Marine Admiral. I didn't expect it was you...I have been watching you for a long time, brat!" Whitebeard laughed.
"It's a pity a man with such vigorous Haki as yours joined the Marines! Anyway, you better have a valid reason to intrude into our territory, or you and your unit won't go back in one piece."
Saying this, Whitebeard slammed his naginata into the deck erupting with overpowering Conqueror's Haki.
