Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Even if Luffy enters Dark Lord form, his short-range burst damage might barely keep up with or even surpass Kizaru's, but in terms of wide-range movement and attack frequency, Kizaru still holds the advantage.

And Kizaru was clearly aware of this as well.

If someone is fast enough that they don't want to fight you, they can just play a game of dodge and evasion with you.

Clearly, having gained a decisive advantage on the battlefield, Kizaru wanted to play this kind of game with Luffy.

This is precisely what makes top-tier natural-type powerhouses so troublesome.

They may not be able to quickly defeat opponents of the same level, but it is not difficult for them to hold off their opponents or even prolong the battle for days and nights.

Especially for someone like Kizaru, whose speed is maxed out, he's obsessed with being a kite, and very few people can catch up with him on the high seas.

Logia-type Devil Fruit users are just that annoying; they're evenly matched with everyone. And Kizaru is an even stronger example of an evenly matched opponent.

"Don't even think about escaping, Kizaru!"

"Boom!"

"His!"

"Kizaru is actually escaping?"

The reporters in the Sabaody Archipelago were speechless upon witnessing this scene. "That's a Marine Admiral!"

"Isn't Straw Hat Boy a supernova who hasn't been in the industry for very long?"

"This is terrifying. Is this the talent of the world's most sinister bloodline?"

"Give him more time, and maybe he'll become another Roger or Whitebeard. Straw Hat Luffy said before that he wants to compete with Whitebeard for the title of Pirate King!"

at the same time.

The Holy Land of Mary Geoise, in the deepest recesses of Pangaea, within the realm of power.

A huge screen floated in mid-air, clearly displaying footage of the Marineford ice field battlefield from various angles, even capturing some details.

When Luffy severed the head of number 46 with a single strike, and his black and red Conqueror's Haki surged into the sky, the air in the room seemed to freeze.

Five figures stood in the shadows, silently watching the screen.

a long time.

Financial God of War Nasujuro Seiji slowly spoke, "The Straw Hat Boy has actually grown to this level."

"We all underestimated this kid."

The God of Scientific Defense, Satan Saint, stood up and said, "If he continues to grow, he will become even more dangerous than Lox."

“Leave him there; he must be kept.”

"Let the Straw Hat Boy and Whitebeard be buried together in Impel Down."

The five elders spoke one after another.

But how do we keep it?

The Five Elders fell silent once again.

In the scene, although Kizaru held off Luffy and even gained a certain advantage through tactics, could he really defeat Straw Hat Luffy, who had already demonstrated such terrifying strength, with just one admiral?

It's hard.

In particular, the opponent also possesses the Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, an ability that can truly kill an immortal being.

Should the remaining three members of the Divine Knights be sent to surround and attack?

The body of number 46 still lies on the ice, a warning of the risks involved.

The Knights of God are a valuable asset of the Celestial Dragons and a force directly controlled by Lord Im. Losing even one of them is already a major dereliction of duty; if they were to lose another, Lord Im would be completely unable to explain it.

However, the Five Elders couldn't just make a move in front of everyone.

“What about Figaland Shamlock?” Nassshuro suddenly asked.

“He also handles some affairs in the New World,” Satan Saint said.

"Contact him immediately!"

Nasujiro replied without hesitation, "Have him get to Impel Down as quickly as possible. Others might not be able to, but Shamrock certainly can, after all, he's Shanks..."

The other four people relaxed slightly upon hearing this.

Figarand Shamlock, the leader of the Knights of God, is far superior to ordinary members of the Knights of God.

"Hmph, no matter what, Whitebeard won't last much longer."

Nassuro Sei's gaze shifted to another screen.

In the image, the white-bearded man's massive body is covered with wounds of all sizes.

Blood soaked through his crescent-shaped beard, and his chest heaved violently.

The most striking sight was a naval-issue longsword, deeply embedded in Whitebeard's left abdomen.

A vice admiral did it!

"Dad!"

Ace, who noticed this scene, was furious.

"No, no way."

Bucky unconsciously turned the camera on his Den Den Mushi.

Is the world's strongest man someone whose body was pierced by a naval vice admiral?

That's the strongest in the world!

That vice admiral can brag about this for the rest of his life!

No, no, that's not right!

A closer look reveals that Whitebeard had far more than just this one wound.

The burns left by Akainu's magma fist, the scorch marks left by Kizaru's laser, the penetrating wounds caused by Aokiji's ice spear... and the sword and knife wounds left by other vice admirals and major admirals who risked their lives.

From the start of the war, Whitebeard endured the most concentrated and powerful firepower from the Navy.

Many of the Navy's elite vice admirals were drawn to Whitebeard.

He single-handedly attracted more than half of the Navy's top combat forces, creating an opportunity for his sons to rescue Ace.

But if this man who stands at the pinnacle of the world is so badly injured, does that mean that the navy has won this war?

"Really?"

Urouge, who hadn't left the Sabaody Archipelago, gaped, "Could Whitebeard really be ending his life here?"

The navy hadn't even deployed its full strength yet, with a steady stream of elite soldiers being replenished from the giant ships.

If Ace was rescued but Whitebeard was killed in the process, would the Whitebeard Pirates have won or lost this war?

"It seems the Four Emperors aren't invincible after all,"

Capone Becky murmured from the shadows.

At that moment, Capone Becky's ambition swelled rapidly, and a crazy idea began to sprout in his mind.

"Even the Four Emperors can die. If I can find the opportunity, I can do it too!"

He used his most powerful assassination techniques to assassinate one of the Four Emperors.

He can be replaced!

He licked his dry lips, his ambition burning like wildfire.

If Whitebeard were to die in battle, the格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) of the New World would be completely overturned.

Becky is also a supernova, so naturally she has ambitions.

Also stimulated by this scene were Kidd's group, who had just formed a loose alliance on the edge of the battlefield.

"Hahaha, I knew this would happen!"

Kidd clutched his left arm and laughed maniacally, "So what if he's the strongest man in the world? He'll still die if he gets killed!"

“It seems our alliance has great potential,” Ap laughed.

“The probability of success isn’t zero; it’s worth a try.” Hawkins said, drawing a tarot card, looking at the image on it, and muttering to himself, “Opportunity belongs to everyone.”

The Four Emperors' undefeated record is about to be broken today!

This means that the world order is about to change, and everyone will have opportunities.

The tide of the new era seems to have already slapped down on the faces of these supernovas.

Icefield Battlefield.

"Whitebeard, nothing special!"

Akainu had already been beaten until blood trickled from the corner of his mouth during his battle with Whitebeard, but when he saw Whitebeard clutching his chest and falling to the ground, he looked at him with a mocking gaze and said, "You're old now."

"Gulalalalala".

Whitebeard looked down at the longsword piercing his abdomen and coughed up blood.

Time is fair to everyone; he really has gotten old.

However, having come this far, he was already prepared.

He stretched out his large, fan-like hand and grasped the sword blade on his abdomen.

Click!

He crushed the longsword, forged from fine steel, with his bare hands!

The lieutenant general who had successfully launched the sneak attack turned pale and retreated repeatedly.

"navy!"

The white-bearded man's voice boomed like thunder, and despite the blood constantly spilling from the corner of his mouth, his imposing aura remained unyielding: "You want my life?!"

His arm muscles bulged, ignoring the other wounds on his body, he slammed the naginata Murakumogiri heavily into the ice beside him, then clenched his fists, striking a pose he knew all too well.

"Still a long way to go!"

boom!
