บท 123: 121. The World's Strongest Man? But That's All!
Above Marineford, as gigantic stone pillars covered the sky, the sun was hidden, casting ominous shadows over the entire battlefield.
Suddenly, a powerful surge of Armament Haki shot upwards, its strange red glow cutting through the air!
In moments, the entire sky turned a deep crimson!
The blood-red color draped the cold terrain in a sinister light.
The smell of gunpowder mixed with the metallic scent of blood hung heavy in the air.
Amidst the sounds of screams and cries echoing across the battlefield, the crimson sky cast a grim reflection on the frozen ground.
In an instant, everyone was plunged into a nightmarish scene of destruction, surrounded by blood and corpses!
Despair was evident in everyone's bloodshot eyes!
A deafening noise, like a sonic boom, echoed, a grim reminder of the danger they faced.
"Can we... really survive this?"
Looking up, massive black and red stone pillars plummeted down at terrifying speeds.
Numerous Marines and pirates fell, their cries of despair filling the air.
For many witnessing this hellish scene, hope faded like a dying flame, their eyes closing as they accepted their fate.
"Can anyone withstand such a powerful attack?"
A heavy silence fell, leaving those who saw it without answers...
As the scene was broadcast around the world,
People everywhere shook uncontrollably at the apocalyptic sight!
At the thunderous roar from the massive stone pillar,
It felt as if everyone had fallen into an icy abyss, their spirits shattered!
The intense shockwaves seemed to distort the very fabric of reality!
As the huge black and red stone pillars tore through the air at high speed, they produced deafening sounds, the friction with the air generating extreme heat!
Before the pillars could land, a wave of scorching heat swept over the battlefield!
All the world's titans, watching this unfold, held their breath again, their focus on Marineford!
No one dared interfere in this battle!
Kong's face darkened with intense anger!
Watching Al float above, Sengoku's hands clenched, his veins throbbing with rage!
Although unaffected by Sengoku's anger, Al remained calm, his look cold and steady.
Witness the formidable strength of Whitebeard's fist, charged with the fearsome power of the Gura Gura no Mi (Tremor-Tremor Fruit)!
Patrick Redfield smiled slightly more as he observed Al.
"Is that Armament Haki coating the pillar? Quite impressive, young one!"
Feeling the powerful aura descending,
Whitebeard snorted disdainfully, a confident smile spreading across his face.
As the aura around his fist grew, cracks started appearing in the air around Whitebeard!
A terrifying force spread across the battlefield like a storm, causing shockwaves to ripple through the sky!
Just before the stone pillar, coated in Armament Haki and flames, was about to crash down,
Whitebeard's smile vanished, his expression turned grave.
Suddenly, he lifted his weapon high, then slammed it down with a mighty roar:
"I am Whitebeard!!!"
With his thunderous shout, the entire area seemed to collapse instantly, filled with a loud crackling noise!
Whitebeard punched the ground, unleashing the formidable power of his ultimate technique, aiming at the tip of the massive pillar with incredible force!
BOOM!
At the moment of impact between Whitebeard's overpowering fist and the giant pillar,
A massive roar echoed, sending a shockwave sweeping through Marineford instantly!
Sand, rocks, and debris flew everywhere, along with many figures!
The entirety of Marineford shook violently!
From Whitebeard as the center, the land fractured like a spiderweb, spreading cracks in every direction!
In seconds, the battlefield looked like a shattered iceberg, broken and fragmented!
Soon, much of the impressive Marine headquarters was in ruins!
The force of the collision threatened to destroy the ice surrounding the island!
Whitebeard let out a muffled grunt, his face grave as veins stood out on his body, a single bead of sweat rolling down his forehead.
The handle of the knife, buried deep in the ground, formed a crack several centimeters long as it withstood the enormous pressure.
The massive stone pillar, coated in Armament Haki, collided violently with Whitebeard's fist, surrounded by a radiant white aura.
As expected, fissures started to spread across the surface of the stone pillar, indicating it was close to breaking.
Yet, reinforced with Armament Haki, the pillar momentarily resisted destruction.
Whitebeard's body, initially moving slowly, began to pick up speed as he was pushed backward.
It would still be some time.
The handle of the knife, dug into the ground, left a significant crack, lifting layers of rock.
Meanwhile, under the relentless force of the colossal stone pillar, Whitebeard was driven rapidly back towards the ruins of the Marine headquarters.
BOOM!
BOOM...
Each impact knocked down several walls in a row.
Whitebeard glanced briefly at Yamato, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Garp on the execution platform, his eyes reflecting a mix of emotions.
At this moment, Whitebeard had no intention of rescuing Ace, as behind him stood the immense stone wall connected to Marine headquarters.
With his brow furrowed and veins throbbing with anger, Whitebeard roared, "Everyone, save Ace!"
With this cry echoing, the force of the colossal stone pillar hurled Whitebeard into the thick wall!
An explosive sound filled the air!
The massive stone pillar, strengthened with Armament Haki, not only threw Whitebeard against the stone wall but also shattered into countless pieces, burying him under the debris!
Looking over the destroyed Marineford and the three vast chasms now splitting the battlefield,
The entire world was struck silent!
As people watched Whitebeard's buried form on the screens, along with the fragmented battlefield,
Eyes everywhere widened in shock, struggling to grasp the unfolding events!
Had the strongest man in the world truly been forced back hundreds of meters and buried under rubble?
"The strongest man in the world?"
"Whitebeard... is gone?"
As these doubts surfaced, the world plunged into turmoil!
Yet, questions remained. After all, he was known as the mightiest man alive!
At the Sabaody Archipelago,
Eustass Kid and the other Supernovas watched Al with awe, as if facing a monstrous force!
As newcomers, they couldn't grasp the immense power Al wielded.
Even without a direct confrontation, Whitebeard's reputation as the mightiest man in the world stood firm!
His legend and incredible feats were enough to instill fear in any newcomer!
Yet today, a rookie had repelled that legend, pushing it back hundreds of meters and burying it?!
Regardless of Whitebeard's fate, Al's terrifying power had reached a level that instilled fear in all observers!
No longer was the youngest Yonko the red-haired one, but the captain of the Al Pirates—Yonko Al!
In this moment of deep shock,
As newspapers drifted down from above...
When people saw the headlines and pictures printed on them...
Everyone's heart raced!
A photograph in a newspaper showed Al, arms crossed, soaring through the air. Behind him, a backdrop of rubble filled the sky!
[Emperor of the Sky, Emperor of the Sea, Emperor Al rises!]
[The pioneer of the new era — Al!]
...
For Al's monumental news, Morgans produced over a dozen layouts,
Featuring hundreds of images!
As news birds traverse the globe, unimaginable numbers of newspapers spread across the islands!
In this moment, Al truly became known to the entire world as the Yonko!
Mariejois, Pangaea City.
Im over the air above Pangaea City
Upon seeing the headlines about the emperor of the sky and the emperor of the sea, Al, disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Yonko? Such a ridiculous title!"
With that cold remark, Imsuddenly disappeared.
Simultaneously, on the execution platform,
While all eyes were on Whitebeard's battle with Al,
Taking advantage of Garp's distraction,
Yamato and Marco quickly moved, rescuing Ace in a flash!
"Uh-oh!"
Sengoku, the first to notice, quickly formed a shockwave in his hand, ready to stop Marco!
Unable to dodge, Marco propelled Ace towards Yamato through the air, declaring,
"Ace is in your hands now!"
As Marco's words resounded, Sengoku's powerful strike sent Marco flying!
As Marine forces approached Yamato, Kaido swung his mace, leaving a trailing image as he moved towards his child with incredible speed!
Just as Aokiji was about to strike Yamato, Kaido shouted,
"Raimei Hakke (Thunder Eight Trigrams)!"
With that thunderous command, the unsuspecting opponent was blown away by Kaido's formidable strike!
Holding Yamato tightly, Kaido transformed into his dragon form and soared into the sky!
Perched on the dragon's back, Yamato exclaimed with joy,
"I've finally rescued Ace, hahaha~"
Yamato's happy shout was met with cheers from the Whitebeard Pirates among the ruins!
"Good job, girl!"
As Whitebeard's resonant voice echoed from the debris, an even more powerful aura surged into the sky than ever before!
In an instant, debris and rubble were swept away!
As the world watched in awe, the towering figure of Whitebeard emerged from the wreckage!
"Is Whitebeard finally going all out? This war just got even more exciting!"
With Bullet's voice full of eager anticipation for battle,
The corners of Whitebeard's mouth turned up slightly, a mix of crimson and ebony arrogance as he slowly gathered clouds around him!
A slight smirk appeared on Al's face as he chuckled softly, gripping the Oto and Kogarashi floating beside him.
With a tight clench of his fists, waves of scarlet arrogance, filled with a tyrannical aura, quickly enveloped the two legendary blades in his hands!
As the two fearsome auras, infused with the essence of "King," erupted, excitement surged among all the seasoned fighters present!
"Is it finally starting?"
Taking a sip of wine, Rayleigh's expression turned serious as he focused on the two figures in the battle, who suddenly vanished from sight!
The gears, marking the shift between the old and new eras, had begun to turn!
