Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 129 The remnants of the old era, Whitebeard defeated!

"Marco!" the white-bearded man exclaimed in surprise and anger.

At this moment, he truly broke down, his emotions surging!

He broke through, but Borsalino and Yixiao wouldn't. In a battle between top-level masters, a single momentary opening is enough to change the situation.

In the instant that Whitebeard was stunned, Borsalino's laser shot out several times, instantly tearing open several wounds on Whitebeard's chest and piercing through his back!

"Cough." Two streaks of blood appeared at the corner of Newgate's mouth, and the puncture in his lungs made it difficult for him to breathe.

The sudden injury made his already exposed weaknesses even more obvious, and Yixiao seized the opportunity!

"Gravity Blade - Fierce Tiger!" Yi Xiao raised his hand and unleashed a frontal slash.

The blow struck Newgate directly, the immense force of which sent him flying from the ground. His Murakumogiri sword nearly flew out of his hand. It was visibly that his chest cavity could not withstand the powerful pressure of gravity and collapsed inward, blood staining his beard.

"Dad!!!"

On the battlefield, many pirates witnessed this scene and cried out in worry, but they were all entangled by the Navy and unable to break free.

At this moment, Whitebeard was blown into the air, which was also an excellent opportunity for Bane.

Even as he kicked Marco's corpse away, Bane had already charged towards Whitebeard's side, and now he was even less likely to let go of such a good opportunity!

"You've given yourself away, Whitebeard!!!" Bane shouted.

With his Heart-Crossing Sword already drawn from its sheath, Bane arrived behind Newgate with a roar.

"Bane!!!" Newgate also noticed Bane behind him. He roared, suppressing his injuries, and a white light with a trembling power emanated from his fist as he slammed his fist at Bane's figure.

"Black Annihilation!" Bane unleashed dark power from one hand, showing no fear of Newgate's devastating energy, and pressed it down.

As expected, even the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was powerless against the Dark-Dark Fruit!

The powerful tremor was rapidly absorbed and devoured by the dark elements. At the same time, Bane plunged his blade into Newgate's spine!

This strike was extremely powerful. The sharp blade of the sword cut through the white-bearded man's flesh, entered through his spine, and then emerged from his chest, spraying blood everywhere!

In the next instant, Bane grabbed Newgate's shoulder and activated the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit, instantly sealing all of Newgate's Tremor Power!

At the same moment, Borsalino transformed into a golden light and appeared on Newgate's other side, unleashing a sweeping kick: "Light Speed ​​Kick!"

Newgate instinctively raised his arm to block, but it was too late!

Suddenly, Bane exerted his strength, hooking himself onto Newgate's arm and forcefully pulling Newgate's arm down with his brute force. Then, with a loud bang, Borsalino's kick landed squarely on Newgate's left ear, shattering half of his pert white crescent-shaped mustache. Newgate's face gradually deformed, and his eyeballs seemed to bulge outwards from the impact.

At this moment, he was already in mid-air, and his abilities were sealed, so there was nothing he could use to gain leverage. Therefore, when Borsalino's kicking force entered his body, Newgate was completely unable to resist. He became top-heavy and his body was kicked half a circle in mid-air by Borsalino before crashing down to the ground.

Before his figure could even fully crash to the ground, Yi Xiao's surging gravity roared up again, and with a heavy pressure, he brought Bane and Newgate into the attack range.

Then, a flash of cold light with a purple halo appeared in Bane and Newgate's sight—it was Yixiao's Cane-Sword Gambler's Line!

"Gravity Blade - Thousand Ryo Shou!"

With a flash, the blade pierced Newgate's left chest like a nail, penetrating his flesh and then, with its force, pinning Newgate firmly to the ground!

Normally, Newgate, with his Tremor Power, could easily shatter the gravity enveloping him, but at this moment, Bane was still clinging to him, and he couldn't release even a trace of his Tremor Power.

Not only that, but because he suffered multiple severe blows in that instant, his condition rapidly declined, and the weakness in his body had erupted, which he could not suppress at all, causing his domineering aura to dissipate and become unable to condense!

"It's over!" Bane grabbed Newgate's shoulder and slammed him to the ground.

Although Newgate himself was incredibly strong, at a monstrous level, the weight of gravity pressed down on him, and Bane's strength was equally terrifying, with two knives stuck in his body, making it impossible for him to break free for the time being.

And this "moment" is enough to decide the outcome!

With a flash of golden light, Borsalino had already stepped on Newgate's chest, pinning him down and rendering Newgate completely unable to resist.

High in the sky, Shiki had a cigar in his mouth and looked at the scene with a complicated expression, but then his gaze gradually turned cold.

"Looks like it's over, Whitebeard," Shiki murmured softly.

The strongest man who once dominated the four seas and shook the world was now being pinned to the ground by three figures on this battlefield, unable to even struggle to get up. This scene inevitably made Shiki, a fellow remnant of the old era, feel a sense of shared sorrow.

"How ugly, Whitebeard!!!" Kaido was currently standing on a cloud of flames, flying in mid-air as he dodged Garp's iron fist.

Upon witnessing this, he roared angrily, "You've already fallen so quickly? I haven't even had my fill yet!!! You bastard!!!"

On the other side of the battlefield, lava and ice exploded on the ground. Then, a stout figure, more than ten feet tall, rose into the air from the smoke of the explosion, stepping on a thundercloud. This figure was also covered in blood and wounds, but the eerie green soul energy was gathering towards her from all directions of the battlefield, attaching to her wounds and rapidly repairing her injuries.

That figure was none other than Charlotte Linlin.

Seeing Newgate pinned to the ground, incapacitated, Charlotte Linlin's expression was one of exasperation as she said, "Whitebeard, is this all you've got? If I'd known you were this weak, why did you even bother coming to Marine Headquarters? I should have taken your life long ago!"

However, Newgate, who was pinned to the ground and unable to move, had no intention of paying attention to Kaido and Charlotte Linlin.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

His gaze was fixed on the Moby Dick, a ship he knew so well, high in the sky. His eyes held a mixture of nostalgia and reluctance, as if countless figures were flashing through his eyes and memories.

Marco, Jozu, Ace, Sachi, and even Teach, the one he wanted to kill with his own hands on the execution platform, all appeared in his eyes.

Next came Kozuki Oden, then Roger, then Shiki, and then the Red Earl.

It was Rocks, it was Kaido, it was Linlin, and many other people, some of whom he could no longer see clearly, as if they had become blurred.

"I've been sailing on this sea for so long that I've lost count of how many years it's been. In the end, it's time to end this journey," Newgate thought to himself.

At that moment, his memory flashed back to more than twenty years ago.

It was under a cherry blossom tree, Roger was sitting opposite himself, drinking wine.

"We arrived too early, what a pity."

"Want to know the meaning of 'D'?"

"There's a little devil named D on my ship too."

As this thought settled, Newgate looked at the execution platform and felt a sudden sense of relief. "As expected, it wasn't you, Teach! A piece of trash like you could never become 'Roger'!"

At that moment, Newgate struggled violently, but still failed. Then, he seemed to want to shout something, yelling, "The One Piece is..."

He thought of Roger, and he thought of many other things.

In this final moment, as a pirate, he always wanted to add another flame to this era!

But the next second, Bane pressed a hand over Newgate's mouth, silencing him. Then, Bane said softly, with a hint of melancholy, "You're a remnant of the old era. In this new era, there's no ship that can carry you. Stop making a scene for yourself, Whitebeard."

"Kurarara." Newgate's mouth was covered, but he still laughed out loud. After a moment, his eyes dimmed and he said, "You're right, kid."
