Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 394 The Marineford War Begins!
The massive, coated pirate ship slithered underwater all the way to the crescent-shaped harbor of Marineford, the naval headquarters.

Then it broke through the water and bypassed the first line of defense surrounded by warships.

This was something many naval officers hadn't anticipated, but the naval high command, especially Sengoku or Vice Admiral Tsuru, definitely had.

It could even be intentional or deliberate indulgence.

Only in this way can the Whitebeard Pirates be guaranteed to be surrounded by the Navy and find it difficult to escape the battlefield easily.

Only in this way can we hope to annihilate the Whitebeard Pirates!
Even if they didn't want to break the unspoken agreement or plunge the world into chaos, when they actually faced the Whitebeard Pirates...

Sengoku and Tsuru were still thinking about annihilation; this is the true pursuit and responsibility of the navy.

Maintaining balance is only to reduce war, but only by truly eliminating pirates can the war on this sea be eradicated.

Sengoku's eyes, like those of a hawk, were fixed on the largest ship in the harbor.

A tall figure slowly stood on the bow of the ship.

"Lulalalalala!"

When the white-bearded man known as the 'strongest man in the world' let out his signature laugh, the entire Marineford seemed to be awestruck by his audacity and boldness.

"Out"

"The strongest in the world."

"Is this Whitebeard?"

There was a noticeable commotion in the Sabaody Archipelago, with reporters staring wide-eyed, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

"Stop arguing! Every minute and every second from now on could be a turning point in history!"

"I want to hear what Whitebeard has to say!"

Whitebeard raised his head and looked at the tall execution platform and the Marine Headquarters castle tower.

"It's been decades since we last met, Sengoku!"

Whitebeard shifted his gaze slightly, looking at Ace, who was being held on the execution platform.

"Wait a minute, Ace, Dad will get you out of here!"

Standing on the high platform, Sengoku felt a surge of heart palpitations coursing through his body, his Observation Haki frantically warning him.

Something is wrong, very wrong!

He shouted almost immediately:

"The entire army is on alert!"

But who can stop Whitebeard?
He turned the Supreme Grade Sword Murakumogiri in his hand around and easily plunged it into the deck.

The coat he was wearing fluttered as he bent over so quickly.

Li Xia's voice seemed to echo in my mind again:

"Whitebeard, if you want to rescue Ace, then show your strength in Marineford. The stronger you show your strength, the higher the chance of a one-for-one exchange."

Hmph—I wonder where this brat came from, yet he's so perceptive about the situation, almost exactly as I thought.

The white-bearded man grinned, squatted in a horse stance, and crossed his thick arms to cover his face.

Power?
Then take a good look at Lao Tzu's true power!
An endless stream of power burst forth from his body, and waves of energy suddenly rippled out from beneath his feet.

Dark red lightning swirled around him, and his still aged yet exceptionally sharp eyes seemed to be filled with a dark red light as well.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which had been with him for decades, instinctively coiled around his fists.

Each rise and fall of my lungs brought in a huge amount of fresh air, but without the needle-like pain I had felt before.

The joints felt like they had been lubricated, without any stiffness or discomfort.

His bare upper body was bulging with muscles, and even the clouds overhead seemed to roll away like waves into the distance.

"Earthquake!!" Li Xia's eyes widened slightly. It had changed, it really had changed!
In the original storyline, Whitebeard's body could no longer support his full power, and he could only barely shake the space to cause a tsunami, trying to sweep away and submerge Marineford.

This is also the greatest demonstration of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power in the Marineford War.

But now, the power and might that Whitebeard has gathered have exceeded the upper limit of the third rank, even making Li Xia secretly alarmed.

Sengoku suddenly opened his eyes wide; his Observation Haki seemed to tell him what terrifying things were about to happen.

His face instantly turned ashen, and he roared:

"Kizaru, stop him!"

In the current situation, only Kizaru with his Glint-Glint Fruit has the speed to stop Whitebeard.

The usually relaxed Kizaru had become serious as soon as Whitebeard gathered his power.

As Sengoku roared, his body transformed into a golden flash and charged toward Whitebeard in an instant.

"Oh? Kizaru?"

Whitebeard's smile grew increasingly dangerous. If it were before, he probably wouldn't have had any way to deal with Kizaru's sudden attack.

but now.
The tiny black and red lightning bolts suddenly became denser, and the violent Conqueror's Haki instantly condensed into an extremely exaggerated illusory sphere around his body, which then surged outwards.

Kizaru's expression changed as soon as he took shape, and he also crossed his hands to block in front of him.

Black Armament Haki instantly covered the front of his body. If he had used elementalization, he would probably have been knocked off the ground by this level of Conqueror's Haki!

This slight delay made it impossible to stop Whitebeard from gathering his strength.

His crossed fists were already glowing with a blinding white light as he swung them to his sides, striking the air as heavily as a drumbeat.

"Boom!!"

Even though it was invisible and intangible air, Whitebeard's fist struck a certain entity directly.

Amidst the deafening roar that echoed throughout the arena, countless fine cracks suddenly appeared from the pounding of the fists, rapidly spreading outwards.

"Is it fake?"

"Air can be shattered into pieces?"

The fanatical navy was as if doused with a bucket of cold water, watching in horror as the cracks around Whitebeard's body grew larger and larger.

Until the space could no longer withstand such an impact, and shattered like a mirror.

The shattering of space caused a visual distortion for everyone, and the feeling of the whole world suddenly turning into a kaleidoscope, spinning randomly, was extremely uncomfortable.

But this was just an appetizer; the next second, a continuous stream of fine, dense sounds began.

A massive shockwave, accompanied by black and red lightning, spread wildly outwards from him as the origin.

The first line of defense and the navy on the warships felt as if their heads had been hit by a heavy hammer.

His body shuddered violently, and he swayed as if he were drunk, his eyes rolled back, and he clutched his head, screaming in pain.

This is only the first wave of impact; the tremors from the spatial shattering continue to propagate.

The massive warship emitted an extremely loud 'crack' sound, and fine cracks appeared on its sturdy wooden planks, just like cracks appearing in space itself.

These enormous objects, amidst continuous cracking sounds, could no longer resist the influence of gravity and broke in two.

The navy, already shaken, was completely unable to react. They clutched their heads, howling in pain, and rolled onto the deck in a heap as the warship swayed from side to side.

Aokiji's gaze sharpened:
"not good!"
