"Tsunami?!"
Upon hearing iser's words, the people behind him imdiately showed shocked expressions, then instinctively looked backward.
Soon, those with good eyesight noticed the shadow of the terrifying tsunami.
As ti passed, the tsunami's shadow beca increasingly clear.
"It really is a tsunami!"
"Ninja big brother, save us!!"
"Quick... use Water Release Technique to escape!"
If they were hit by that kind of terrifying tsunami, they would surely perish in the sea!
"Stop the nonsense, everyone hold on tight!" iser shouted while manipulating the Water Dragon. "Don't bla if you get thrown off!"
"Alright!!"
At this mont, they could only place their hopes for survival on iser.
After all... a tsunami of that magnitude was already beyond their ability to resist!
"iser, can your Water Release Technique increase speed?" Ivankov glanced at the massive tsunami closing in behind them and said, "If we continue at this pace, we'll be caught soon."
iser didn't answer directly. Instead, he looked back at the enormous tsunami and said, "This tsunami's movent speed has already reached the theoretical maximum velocity."
"What does that an?"
"It ans its speed is faster than my Water Release Technique." iser explained. "After all, Water Release isn't specifically designed for travel. Dragging such a large marine warship, there's no way we can outrun this tsunami."
So iser began considering other solutions.
"Then charge up onto the tsunami!" Jimbei suggested. "As long as we can reach the top of the tsunami, we'll be temporarily safe!"
As for what to do after reaching Marine Headquarters?
They'd deal with that when they got there!
"Alright, I understand." iser nodded.
He had already thought of this idea and intended to do exactly that.
Subsequently, iser manipulated the enormous Water Dragon, gradually bringing it closer to the massive tsunami behind them.
"Damn it, stop this!"
Watching the approaching giant tsunami, Buggy's upper body flew over from behind, opening his shark-like mouth to roar at iser: "Are you trying to kill us all?!"
Who in their right mind would actively approach a tsunami, you bastard!
This is a natural disaster!
"Shut your mouth, darling." Bon Clay grabbed Buggy's upper body and pulled him away, saying, "Xiao iser will handle this problem."
"Handle it? How is he going to handle it?!"
"Just shut up, darling, that's all you need to do."
Xiao iser was currently fully concentrated on controlling the Water Dragon's movent and absolutely must not be disturbed!
Otherwise... they might truly end up buried at sea!
"I..."
"Hmm?"
Crocodile coldly glanced at Buggy, his expression clearly saying: Keep talking and I'll throw you into the sea!
Buggy: ...
"Fine, fine, everyone's bullying him, is that it?!"
"Then... then shut up."
Feeling Crocodile's murderous aura, Buggy chose to follow his instincts and kept quiet.
"Pfft."
Ivankov gave Buggy a speechless glance, montarily at a loss for words.
anwhile, iser, standing before them, paid no attention to the commotion behind him.
With his Sharingan activated, he was fully focused on finding the right mont to surge forward.
Soon, iser seized the opportunity.
"Go!"
"Boom!!"
A massive Water Dragon roared to life, riding the currents within the tsunami and swiftly ascending to the top of the colossal wave!
"Rumble!!!"
The mont they reached the summit, everyone felt the sheer terror of nature's fury.
Amid the churning tsunami, their ship seed as insignificant as a toy.
Fortunately, thanks to the Water Dragon, the warship wouldn't capsize or sink—a small rcy in the midst of disaster.
"Whew~"
"Finally, we're safe," Mr.3 exhaled in relief.
He then slumped to the floor, gasping for breath.
The feeling of being so close to death had been utterly dreadful!
"My back is soaked through."
"Who isn't?"
"But at least we survived."
After exchanging glances, everyone burst into cheers.
"Whoo!"
"Brother iser!"
"Is now the ti to celebrate?!" iser scolded. "Anyone who gets thrown off is done for!"
He couldn't possibly rescue anyone from the ocean now—after all, they were riding a tsunami!
Hearing iser's words, everyone quieted down, obediently gripping nearby people or objects to avoid being flung away.
"Hmm, we're temporarily safe now that we're up here," Jimbei remarked, gazing at the distant scenery. "The next challenge is how to land."
"Landing, huh."
iser thought for a mont and said, "I'll figure sothing out once we reach Marine Headquarters."
"Alright!"
For now, it was just a matter of how long this massive tsunami would take to carry them to Marine Headquarters.
"Hmm?"
That island in the distance... must be Marine Headquarters.
Heh, looks like we're almost there!
With that thought, iser narrowed his eyes and prepared to use Ninjutsu to forcibly steer the ship away.
anwhile, on the other side.
At the plaza of Marine Headquarters, everyone could already feel a terrifying tremor.
It was as if... sothing imnsely fearso was rushing toward them at incredible speed, with devastating power!
"What's with this earthquake?!" a Marine exclaid in shock.
"Not sure, but it might be related to Whitebeard."
"Whitebeard?"
"Now that you ntion it, after that guy triggered the Sea Quake earlier, he went silent. Could it be..."
As if realizing sothing, the Marine's face instantly turned pale.
"It's coming!" Garp shouted. "This is the Sea Quake Whitebeard unleashed earlier—it's transford into a tsunami and is heading our way!"
"Prepare for defense!"
As Garp's words fell, the sea began to tremble violently, relentlessly crashing against Marineford's coastline, forcing several Devil Fruit Ability Users to retreat.
Monts later...
"BOOM!!"
"Is this really a tsunami?!" a Marine cried in despair as the colossal wave drew nearer. "Why is it so huge?!"
"Is this the power of the world's strongest man?... It's terrifying!"
"A tsunami of this magnitude could sink Marineford itself!"
"That bastard Whitebeard—does he intend to perish with us?!"
The Marines below scread and roared, powerless to change their fate, forced to watch as the tsunami, seemingly large enough to engulf all of Marineford, surged toward them.
In that mont, it felt like the apocalypse!
"As expected of the world's strongest man," Vice Admiral Tsuru remarked gravely, watching the massive tsunamis on both sides. "To summon such a terrifying tsunami so effortlessly."
"After all, he possesses the power to destroy the world," Garp said.
After speaking, Garp glanced at Aokiji sitting nearby.
At this critical juncture, only he could intercept the tsunamis capable of annihilating Marineford.
As if sensing Garp's gaze, Aokiji, who had been sitting with his back turned, slightly shifted his head before vanishing from the spot.
When he reappeared, the man was already mid-air.
Observing the enormous tsunamis on both sides that blotted out the sunlight, Aokiji activated his Devil Fruit Ability without hesitation.
"Whoosh~"
"Crack, crack, crack~"
Two gigantic ice spikes shot from his hands, rapidly extending toward the massive tsunamis on either side.
The next mont...
"BOOM!!"
The enormous tsunamis froze at a visible pace, ultimately transforming into two colossal icebergs!
"Ice Age!!!"
Having neutralized the tsunamis, Aokiji exhaled a breath of frigid ice.
Then, he fixed his gaze on Whitebeard.
"You've done well, Aokiji brat," Whitebeard said.
In response, Aokiji rely snorted, offering no reply.
"Th-thank goodness, we're saved!" Koby sighed in relief.
"Admiral Aokiji is incredible—he froze that terrifying tsunami in an instant!"
"With an Admiral here, we have nothing to fear from these pirates!"
"Ooh!!" the Marines roared.
Clearly, thanks to Aokiji, the morale that had nearly shattered monts ago was now restored!
As if feeding off the Marines' renewed fighting spirit below, Aokiji narrowed his eyes and launched an attack from the air without hesitation.
"Two-pronged Spear!"
"Whoosh~"
Ice spears materialized out of thin air, swiftly shooting toward Whitebeard.
Facing the assault, Whitebeard raised his fist and struck the air.
"Crack!"
The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit activated, shattering the ice spears and simultaneously fragnting Aokiji, who had undergone Elental Transformation, into icy debris.
"Huh?!"
Watching Aokiji shatter, Koby stared in disbelief. "Was Admiral Aokiji defeated?"
"No way—he's a Marine Admiral!"
"Then what is this...?"
Before Koby could finish speaking, he noticed Aokiji appearing on the sea surface, activating his Devil Fruit ability to freeze the waters within the bay.
"Crack crack~"
"Ice Age!"
After accomplishing this, Aokiji exhaled a cold breath.
Then, the man stood up and turned to look in the direction of the Gates of Justice.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku ordered to keep an eye on the Blood-Eyed Ninja... but will that guy really show up?" Aokiji murmured to himself.
After a mont's thought, Aokiji decided to temporarily distance himself from these pirates and observe for a while.
With this decision made, Aokiji vanished from his position without hesitation.
"Huh?"
"He disappeared?"
Marco watched Aokiji's sudden disappearance with a flicker of surprise in his eyes, clearly not expecting the other to leave so decisively.
Could it be... he's afraid to face Pops right now?
Tch, what a coward!
"This Aokiji has actually created a perfect landing point for us!" Flower Sword Vista laughed heartily. "Let's go! Show them our strength!"
"Ooh!"
Nurous pirates followed their division commanders, charging down from their ships and rushing toward the distant Marines while shouting battle cries!
"Kill them! Wipe out these pirates!"
"Ooh!!"
The Marines roared back, charging onto the frozen surface with equal ferocity, determined to cut down every pirate before them.
"Finally... it's begun," Sengoku murmured, his eyes sharpening as he watched the battle comnce below.
This ti, they would definitely make sure Whitebeard remained here forever!
Just then, Sengoku noticed movent from Hawkeye standing at the shore.
"Hmm? Is that guy actually taking the initiative to attack?" Sengoku expressed surprise.
This Royal Warlord who usually showed little interest in Marine affairs was voluntarily assisting them?
"Fufufu~" Doflamingo laughed while watching Hawkeye. "Hawkeye, are you planning to make a move? How unexpected~"
"Fufufu!"
"I'm rely asuring the distance between that man and us," Hawkeye stated while staring intently at Whitebeard.
He wanted to know exactly how far they stood from the World's Strongest Man.
Could he... possibly match him?
"Fufufufu, is that so," Doflamingo chuckled. "Then why don't you test it out."
As he spoke, Doflamingo glanced toward the distant Whitebeard, a glimr of anticipation appearing in his eyes.
Could the World's Greatest Sword Master pose a threat to the World's Strongest Man?!
"Is that guy planning to attack Pops?"
The Whitebeard Pirates' division commanders imdiately beca alert when they saw Hawkeye drawing his Black Blade - Night.
Soon, Hawkeye moved.
Without any flashy techniques, he simply raised his weapon and swung it downward.
"Clang!!"
"Boom!!"
The next instant, an enormous Flying Slash shot forth, racing across the ice toward Whitebeard!
"Look out! It's Hawkeye's attack!"
"Quick... get out of the way!"
The pirates watched the approaching slash with terror, desperately diving aside to avoid being hit by this strike.
The attack from the World's Greatest Sword Master was sothing none of them could hope to block.
"Hawkeye, is it?"
Whitebeard grinned at the approaching slash but showed no intention of intervening.
He knew his son would block this strike for him!
"Stop... right there!"
Diamond Jozu roared, infusing his diamond-transford body with Haki before directly confronting Hawkeye's Flying Slash!
The next mont...
"BOOM!!"
The terrifying slash struck him with such force that it shattered the ice beneath his feet!
"Up... you go!!"
With another explosive shout, Jozu grabbed the lower edge of the slash and forcibly altered its trajectory, sending it skyward!
"BOOM!!"
"He actually... actually stopped the slash from the World's Greatest Sword Master?!" A Marine exclaid in shock as they watched the Flying Slash explode in the air. "Is this the power of a Whitebeard Pirates division commander?!"
Their eyes filled with awe as they observed Jozu's fully diamondized form.
"The World's Greatest Sword Master's slash is nothing special," Jozu grinned.
Hawkeye offered no response, calmly sheathing his blade.
"What's wrong? Not going to try again?" Doflamingo smirked.
"Unnecessary," Hawkeye replied flatly.
The mont his slash was blocked by Whitebeard's subordinate division commander, he had obtained the answer he sought.
"Fufu, is that so."
"What a pity," Doflamingo feigned disappointnt.
Truthfully, he would have loved to witness a battle between the World's Strongest Man and the World's Greatest Sword Master.
But since Hawkeye had withdrawn, he couldn't press further—lest the swordsman turn his blade against him instead.
Shaking his head, Doflamingo turned his attention to Whitebeard, thinking: 'Old man, what will you do next?'
