Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

Shen Jue walked down from the high platform and stood in front of Ace.

The sea breeze blew their cloaks and coats in the same direction.

Shen Jue looked at Ace and smiled, "You came alone?"

"Dad's ship is never just for one person." Ace grinned and glanced back at the whale ship.

"But I'm the only one who dares to go ashore."

Shen Jue nodded without asking any further questions.

He could understand the pirates' fear of facing the new Marine Headquarters.

These pirates, who were able to follow Ace to the new Marine Headquarters, can already be considered among the most valiant figures on this sea.

However, without Ace's status as Shen Jue's almost younger brother, these pirates wouldn't dare approach the new Navy's territory.

Shen Jue turned around and gestured to Kuzan and the other two, indicating that everyone should disperse first. Then he patted Ace on the shoulder and said, "Come with me."

Shen Jue, carrying Ace, used the Phantom Breath Technique: Gravity Control to fly straight into the sky.

Ace was astonished by Shen Jue's actions, wondering if it was due to Shen Jue's Devil Fruit ability.

Two figures sped towards the sea area where the Whitebeard Pirates were located.

The clouds were torn apart and then closed up again.

Shen Jue flew extremely high, with Ace close behind.

As Ace flew through the sky, secretly estimating Shen Jue's speed, he heard Shen Jue's voice clearly:

"How is Whitebeard's health?"

Ace paused for a moment before saying, "The medical team doesn't dare let Dad drink anymore."

Shen Jue sped up a bit more, somewhat exasperated by the way Ace addressed Whitebeard.

If things continue like this, won't he suddenly become a generation younger than Whitebeard?

If I had known, I would have forced this kid into the navy back then.

Instead of letting them freely play their pirate games.

At this moment, Shen Jue actually had the same thought as Garp.

A short time later, they landed on a huge island shaped like a whale's back.

This is the Whitebeard Pirates' base in the New World.

The moment Shen Jue appeared in mid-air, the atmosphere on the island suddenly became tense.

"Someone's coming!"

"That's...Ace?!"

"Wait, who's the person next to him?"

"The New Fleet Admiral, Shen Jue!"

On the deck and along the cliff edge, dozens of figures simultaneously assumed combat stances.

It was an instinctive feeling of being gripped by an absolute sense of oppression.

Marco stood at the forefront, blue flames flickering on his shoulders, the phoenix's wings half-spread, his brows furrowed.

He clearly sensed that the newcomer did not release any killing intent, but simply standing there made it seem as if the entire sky had pressed down on him.

"Hey, Ace, you bastard!" Marco's voice was deep. "I never said I'd bring him along."

Diamond Joz's hands were covered in glittering diamonds, his legs slightly bent, like an iceberg about to collapse at any moment, cold sweat sliding down his forehead: "Bring a monster of this level directly to our base."

"Ace! What are you thinking?!"

Vista, the foil fencer, rested his fingers on the hilts of his twin swords, his fingertips trembling slightly. He forced a smile and said, "This is no joke."

"Pirates who fall into that person's hands never have a good ending!"

Izo, Bramank, Fosa, and Curiel, the captains of each squad, all tensed up.

They were drenched in sweat and dared not show any hostility.

Behind the crowd, a massive figure suddenly laughed.

The laughter was deep and hoarse, so loud that it made the rocks on the entire island tremble slightly.

The captains of the Whitebeard Pirates who had gathered automatically made way for them.

Whitebeard slowly rose from the high platform.

He was tall, with a white overcoat draped over his shoulders, and his crescent-shaped beard swayed slightly in the wind.

But Shen Jue could tell that he had aged.

Whitebeard Edward's breathing was heavy, each rise and fall of his chest accompanied by a subtle, rattling sound, like an old bellows struggling to pump.

Several IV tubes were inserted into his arm, and the medicine flowed silently into that once invincible body.

Fine beads of sweat glistened on his forehead, but it was unclear whether they were from illness or from the arrival of the young man before him.

But his eyes were still shining, as bright as an ever-burning lighthouse on the sea.

"Guralalalalala!"

The white-bearded man laughed loudly, his laughter making the entire sea tremble.

He didn't take out a knife, but simply opened a huge, rough hand towards Shen Jue.

"Shen Jue, you've finally arrived."

"What, are you here to steal my son?"

Shen Jue shook his head and smiled, "I came to see you and hear you say it yourself: are you interested in participating in a battle between the new Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates?"

The white-bearded man laughed again. Before his laughter had even faded, he clenched his fist, and the entire island seemed to be bombarded by a shockwave. The air exploded, and huge waves surged up on the sea.

Countless captains were shaken and staggered backward, their cold sweat pouring down their backs even faster.

Are you threatening me?!

"I'm not so old that I can't even swing a sword!"

He took a step forward, and the earth cracked, his riddled body seemingly burning fiercely.

As the possessor of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, one of the strongest Paramecia-type Devil Fruits, Whitebeard harbors a terrifying power within him capable of capsizing islands and causing the ocean to recede!

"Shen Jue, you brat, fight me!"

"Let me see if you're qualified enough! Go and overthrow Mary Geoise!"

The white-bearded man's voice boomed like thunder.

All the team captains held their breath.

They knew their father wasn't joking.

Shen Jue looked directly into the white-bearded man's eyes and suddenly smiled.

"it is good."

He took off his marshal's coat and casually tossed it to Ace.

"I'll play a match with you."

The white-bearded man laughed heartily and reached out to grasp the giant sword Murakumogiri, which was stuck beside the high platform.

The supreme great sword trembled as if it had a soul in his hand.

"Shen Jue, don't die!"

The white-bearded man's laughter was still ringing in his ears when he was already in front of Shen Jue.

Murakumo-giri soared high, enveloped in a layer of black and red Conqueror's Haki! It tore the entire sky apart!

Besides that! A white wave covered the hilt of the sword! That was the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

This strike! Whitebeard's top-tier Conqueror's Haki materialized and unleashed its power simultaneously with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

Its power was so great that it left Shen Jue in awe!

As one of the strongest pirates, Whitebeard was undoubtedly a discarded character in the original One Piece storyline, abandoned by the game and killed off by the plot.

Now, Shen Jue has the privilege of experiencing the strongest attack delivered by the elderly and ailing Whitebeard!

Before the blade even arrived, the atmosphere had already shattered.

Centered on Shen Jue, spiderweb-like cracks appeared in the air within a radius of several thousand meters. Then, the entire space seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible hand, collapsing towards the center and then suddenly exploding!

boom!

Dozens of giant waves erupted from the sea, and the islands beneath their feet sank by half an inch from the impact.

The captains were thrown backward by the blast wave, and Marco spread his wings and flew into the air to avoid the aftershocks.

"Dad used all his strength right from the start!" he exclaimed in fear.
