One Piece: World Conquest Begins with Creating a Little Empress

Unfortunately, before Kuzan could think any further, Sakazuki had already reached Whitebeard and, taking advantage of Whitebeard's moment of immobility, punched him through the head!

"boom!!"

The scorching lava, after piercing through Whitebeard's head, showed no signs of stopping, exploding directly into the sky and shattering the clouds...

"Do not!!"

For a moment, Whitebeard's only remaining sons, Marco, Vista, and Jozu, looked at their father Whitebeard, whose head had been pierced, and cried out in heart-wrenching grief...

They couldn't imagine that Whitebeard, a powerful ruler, would die such a miserable death, without even uttering his last words.

Izou and Kiku, who had been hiding in the shadows, also shed tears at this moment because of Whitebeard's death. They truly regarded Whitebeard as their father...

But there's no other way! Since they've already chosen to be loyal to the country, they can't let themselves be held back by these trivial personal feelings...

"It's over! The man known as the world's strongest..."

"The legendary pirate who once rivaled the Pirate King Roger, Edward Newgate the Whitebeard..."

Sakazuki looked at Edward Newgate, whose head had been blown off by his punch and turned into a headless corpse, and spoke softly.

"Another legend of the high seas has fallen!"

After Whitebeard fell, the admirals and vice admirals watching the battle all sighed inwardly. This was the fourth legendary figure of the sea to die since Char Aznable took office as the Supreme Commander of the World Government's armed forces. Currently, the legendary figures of his era include "Pirate King" Gol D. Roger, "Golden Lion" Shiki, "Red Earl" Baron Redfield, and "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate. Including those who have already passed away, such as Rocks D. Xebec, Captain John, and Kozuki Oden...

The legendary powerhouses of the old era, who once tried to stir up trouble on the high seas, are almost all dead! As for the next one, no one can say for sure which powerful figure on the sea will be next!

However, as everyone knows, there are no longer any powerful beings or forces on this ocean that can stop the World Government's progress...

At the end of the sea, who stands at the peak? Meeting Figarand, all paths become meaningless!

And the man who orchestrated Whitebeard's downfall...

The esteemed Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the World Government, the great His Holiness Figarand Char, did not even appear in this battle from beginning to end.

In other words...

Char doesn't need to get involved to deal with a mere Whitebeard.

"Dad! Dad!!"

How could you just die like that?!

"Didn't you say you were the strongest and that you would definitely win?!"

Marco knelt down, gazing at the headless man who still stood upright, his eyes bloodshot and tears streaming down his face.

At this moment, Whitebeard had lost all his beard, his head was completely smashed...

Beside Marco, Vista, the Flower Sword, also lost the will to fight the moment Whitebeard died; he had no reason to continue fighting.

Chapter 150 Dark-Dark Fruit: Blackbeard is not worthy to be my master! I am Char's loyal dog!

"Is this the strength of Edward Newgate, the strongest man in the world?!"

"Alone, he faced off against three Fleet Admirals and two Generals of the World Government!"

"He also launched attacks against other generals from afar on several occasions in support of his sons..."

"This strength is so powerful it's almost monstrous..."

Kaji looked at what was in front of him. Even though his head had been knocked off, his skin was still severely frostbitten from Aokiji's power, and his body was covered with purplish-blue bruises...

Clearly, the opponent suffered severe fist injuries from the combined attack of Garp, Zephyr, and Sengoku, as well as internal injuries caused by the shockwave from Sengoku's Devil Fruit...

Even so, at the moment of Whitebeard's death, he remained standing in the same spot, as steadfast as a statue...

Even a combined attack from a host of powerful enemies couldn't bring him down on his back!

This is the world's most powerful man...

The true strength of Edward Newgate, the great pirate who was once on par with Roger and Shiki the Golden Lion.

Even though Kake's own faction differed from Whitebeard's, leading him down opposing paths, he had to admit that Whitebeard's strength was worthy of the title bestowed upon him by the world...

Whitebeard deserves the title of the strongest.

"As per the orders previously given by Commander-in-Chief Char, immediately wrap up Whitebeard's body and send it to Marineford, the Marine Headquarters!"

"Bury Whitebeard, Roger, Shiki, and Redfield—these legends of their time—together! It will serve as a warning to future generations, reminding them that those who walk the path of evil will inevitably face the judgment of justice..."

"Even the mighty Whitebeard, Roger, Shiki, and Redfield could not escape the judgment of justice!"

"Now let us shout: Long live justice! Long live justice! Long live justice!!"

During the Sengoku period, he used Den Den Mushi (a type of electric telephone) to transmit his voice in all directions, ensuring that the navy, army, and air force could all hear exactly what he had just said.

"Long live justice! Long live justice! Long live justice!!"

In an instant, the 100,000 naval officers and soldiers, 50,000 army officers and soldiers, and 20,000 air force officers and soldiers who had not yet been mobilized all raised their weapons high and shouted loudly at Sengoku's call.

In an instant, the sound waves, like a tidal wave, echoed from all directions towards the remaining captains of the Whitebeard Pirates on the ice surface...

"My father is dead..."

At this moment, Diamond Jozu, Phoenix Marco, and Flower Sword Vista all showed despair in their eyes. They knelt on the ground, crying incessantly. The tears that flowed from their eyes were endless bitterness and sorrow.

"Captain Marco, Captain Jozu, and Captain Vista, now that your father is dead, there's no point in you crying here. Why not join my pirate crew?! Let's make a name for ourselves together..."

At this moment, 'Blackbeard' Marshall D. Teach walked up to Marco and the others, opened his gap-toothed mouth, and extended an invitation to them.

"Hey! Teach..."

"Don't think you can get away with this..."

"I haven't gotten my revenge on you for betraying the Whitebeard Pirates yet!"

Marco glared at Teach, his expression cold.

"Captain Marco, you should understand, right?!"

"Even if I didn't betray the Whitebeard Pirates, I couldn't have prevented their destruction. It's beyond my control..."

"In order to wipe out Whitebeard, the World Government chose to launch a coordinated operation involving all three branches of the armed forces, deploying a total of four marshals and nine admirals, not to mention countless vice admirals, rear admirals, and commodores, totaling probably a thousand people! It would be a joke if the Whitebeard Pirates could withstand such a force, wouldn't it?!"

"My betrayal only made this battle, whose outcome was already predetermined, end a little faster! So don't blame me; at least I've preserved the spark of the Whitebeard Pirates..."

"What did my father say again?! As long as we're all still here, the will of the Whitebeard Pirates will never end! Even though many unpleasant things have happened, I still consider Captain Marco as my family~"

Teach was indeed a silver-tongued man; he could turn black into white and white into black. In just a few words, he ignited the anger in Marco and the others' hearts.

"Teach, you bastard, how dare you mention family?!"

As Marco spoke, his body was already enveloped in scorching blue-green flames.

"Hahaha! Don't be angry, Captain Marco..."

"You should know that your abilities are ineffective against me!"

"Besides, I shouldn't be the only one who betrayed the Whitebeard Pirates..."

As Teach spoke, his gaze turned to Izo, the 16th Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and Kikunojo, the Vice-Commander, who had stepped forward after the battle.

"Am I right? Captain Izo, Vice-Captain Kikunojo..."

Teach's eyes were filled with malice as he looked at Izo and the others.

"I must apologize to everyone for this!"

"It's not that I don't want to fight, but the greater good prevents me from doing so..."

"I can't say more about the specific details..."

"Once the cause I have been following has come to a complete end, I will follow my father in death on my own! There is no need for you all to do anything about it..."

At this point, Izang knelt down on both knees and spoke sincerely to Marco and the others.

"To hide..."

Upon hearing this, Marco looked at Izo with a complex expression. As Whitebeard's closest confidant, he naturally knew more inside information than others. The sight of Izo bowing down to his seat only confirmed Marco's suspicions.

"Gentlemen, let me give you one more piece of advice. Before this battle begins, I promised my father one thing! He wanted my last brothers to live..."

"Therefore, my lord negotiated with the government, agreeing to protect all the brothers who are still standing, with the condition that my father dies in battle as the only limit!"

"So, Father didn't really lose the battle. He just didn't want to see us sacrifice ourselves anymore, so he chose to perish under the molten lava fist..."

"Let's not let our father's sacrifice be in vain. Brothers, stop thinking about revenge. Let this battle end with our father's death!!"

Izang knelt down, looking at Marco, Joz, and Vista, and continued to speak earnestly.

Yes, Izo also told Whitebeard about the World Government's conditions...

Izō knew, of course, that this seemingly benevolent clause was actually the government's way of forcing Whitebeard to choose to end his own life...

Ultimately, the proud Whitebeard neither bowed to the government nor accepted its "good intentions," stubbornly choosing to wage war against it. As a result, in just two or three hours of fighting, the Whitebeard Pirates were reduced to only six members, three of whom "betrayed" him.

"I understand! Let the war end here!"

Marco gave Izo a deep look, and finally sighed helplessly.

Marco knew that death was easy, but living was far more painful!

Father certainly didn't want to see these last vestiges of the White Gang die here! Survival was Father's final command to them, and they had to obey...

"Marco..."
