One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

"Vibration - Shattering the Void!"

As the naginata slashed down, the space in front of the blade shattered like broken glass.

The spatial rift, carrying the destructive power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, spread towards Sengoku.

Sengoku unleashed both palms simultaneously, the Great Buddha striking head-on against the attack. The two forces clashed for a moment in mid-air before exploding with a deafening roar.

The shockwave overturned everything within hundreds of meters around it.

Building ruins, warship wreckage, and ice fragments were all blasted into the air before crashing down heavily.

Whitebeard regained his footing amidst the shockwave and swung his naginata once more.

The sounds of vibration and impact grew more frequent, each collision causing Marineford to tremble.

The sea in the harbor has been churned up violently, and the underwater foundations are beginning to crack from the tremors.

The cracks on the Naval Headquarters building are increasing, and broken bricks and concrete blocks are constantly peeling off the walls.

Just as the two were exchanging blows again, a magma fist came crashing down from the side.

Akainu arrived at the battlefield, covered in wounds, but his eyes burned with resentful rage.

"Whitebeard—!!!"

Whitebeard dodged the magma fist by tilting his head and then forced Akainu back with a backhand slash.

Before he could catch his breath, Kizaru's laser beam descended from the sky, blasting a small, charred hole in his chest.

Aokiji cut in from the other side, the chill of the Ice Age freezing his right arm, which was holding the naginata, with a thick layer of frost.

The white-bearded man grinned, switched the naginata to his left hand, and suddenly exerted force with his right arm, shattering the ice on his arm.

Come on!

His roar echoed across the battlefield, unleashing his shockwave power without reservation, simultaneously knocking back Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji.

Taking advantage of this opening, Sengoku struck from the front with a palm strike, which the white-bearded man parried with his sword.

But Akainu's Hades struck him from the side, the lava burning through his skin and scorching his internal organs.

Whitebeard grunted and slashed Akainu away with a backhand slash, only to be met with Kizaru's light-speed kick to his back.

Whitebeard stumbled, but quickly regained his balance.

The shockwave erupted again, shattering the ice surface within a radius of tens of meters, forcing the three generals and Sengoku to retreat simultaneously.

The four surrounded them again, and attacks came simultaneously from four directions—

Sengoku's shockwave, Akainu's magma fist, Kizaru's laser, and Aokiji's ice spear.

With nowhere to hide, Whitebeard could only hold his naginata horizontally in front of him and withstand the onslaught.

Amidst the explosion, the white-bearded man stumbled back several steps, glancing down at the smoking wound on his chest.

He raised his head, his signature smile still playing on his lips.

"Gu la la la—that's more like it!"

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit exploded once again. This time, he didn't attack anyone, but instead blasted the tremors directly into the ground beneath his feet.

The entire island of Marineford began to shake violently. The rock layers at the base of the island began to fracture under the ravages of the tremors, and the entire island began to sink at a visible speed.

Sengoku's expression changed drastically; he finally understood what the Whitebeard was up to—he wanted to drag the entire Marineford into the sea.

"Everyone—stop him!"

Sengoku charged forward recklessly. Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji also attacked simultaneously.

Magma, beams of light, ice spears, and shockwaves bombarded Whitebeard from four directions simultaneously.

Whitebeard didn't dodge. He stuck his naginata to his side, clenched his fists, and concentrated the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit into his fists to the limit.

The vibrating ball spun at high speed, stirring up the surrounding air and producing a piercing shriek.

Then he threw out both fists at once, and the shockwave collided violently with the four attacks in mid-air. After a brief stalemate, they exploded with a bang.

A mushroom cloud rose from the center of Marine Fendoux Square, and the shockwave swept across the entire island.

The smoke and dust cleared.

The white-bearded man stood still, his naginata resting beside him.

His chest bore several charred bullet holes and frostbite marks, but he did not fall.

His head was slightly lowered, his eyes were closed, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was still there.

Whitebeard – Edward Newgate, killed in action.

Everyone on the battlefield stopped what they were doing.

Sengoku stood silently opposite Whitebeard, watching his old rival with whom he had been entangled for decades. Garp stood at a distance, clenching his fists. Akainu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and did not move forward.

The Emperor of the Sea, the strongest man in the world, fought his way to his death under the siege of the Marine Headquarters, Sengoku, and three admirals.

But before anyone could recover from the shock, a figure appeared without warning beside the white-bearded man's body.

Roy gently placed his right hand on Whitebeard's shoulder, and a transparent psychic barrier instantly enveloped Whitebeard's tall body, completely isolating the remains from the outside world.

Then he turned his head, his gaze sweeping over Sengoku, Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips.

The next second, Roy and Whitebeard's bodies vanished from their spots, leaving Sengoku and the others stunned in place.

On the deck of the Ark's Proverbs, Roy's figure stepped out of the void.

The white-bearded man's body was gently lifted by a psychic barrier and slowly lowered to the center of the deck.

From Marineford to the Ark's Proverbs, Roy's telekinesis never left the white-bearded man's body.

Returning to Beehive Island will take time, and during that time, Whitebeard's remains could change at any moment—

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit, being the top-tier Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, allows the user to be randomly reborn on the sea after their death.

He couldn't let this fruit fall into someone else's hands.

On the deck, the members of Beehive Island gathered around, silently watching the body that still remained standing.

Without asking anyone for help, Roy used his telekinesis to lift the white-bearded man step by step towards the depths of the cabin.

The corridor was dimly lit yet warm. Roy placed Whitebeard's body in a quiet room that had been prepared beforehand, and the psychic barrier remained in place.

He took an ordinary apple out of his pocket.

Roy took a deep breath and slowly extended his right hand into the psychic barrier surrounding the white-bearded man's body.

Time seemed to slow down inside the barrier; he could feel the immense power of vibration within the white-bearded man losing its host.

It flowed erratically within the body, like water that had lost its container.

Before long, this force will break free from the shackles of the body and return to the sea.

Roy placed the apple on the white-bearded man's chest and then waited quietly.

A few minutes later, fine lines began to appear on the apple's skin, with dark blue spirals spreading from the apple's stem.

The bottom is covered with dense crack-like patterns, like a small, compressed seismic source.

Roy placed the newly formed Devil Fruit into a box that had been prepared beforehand.

The moment the lid closed, Roy let out a long sigh of relief.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit is in our hands.

As he stepped out of the quiet room, everyone on the deck was waiting for him.

Roy glanced at the silent crowd, then at the quiet room behind him where the white-bearded man's body lay.

The sound wasn't loud, but every word was clearly audible.

"Return. Back to Beehive Island."
