"Damn Blood-Eyed Ninja!"
Boa Hancock stared at the massive Susanoo and declared, "This queen will definitely kill you!"
After speaking, the woman moved again, charging rapidly toward iser.
"Hmm?"
Whitebeard glanced at the approaching Boa Hancock and remarked, "What a troubleso woman."
As his words fell, Whitebeard channeled his Devil Fruit power into his fist and violently punched the air before him!
Crack!
Terrifying power shattered the atmosphere, instantly unleashing an overwhelming shockwave!
BOOM!!
"Ahhh!!"
Marines caught in the path of Whitebeard's punch were sent flying, screaming as they soared into the distance.
Hancock, who was within the attack range, forcibly halted her montum before the shockwave arrived. She quickly infused her body with Haki while retreating to create distance.
The next mont...
BOOM!!
The terrifying force struck where Hancock had just been standing, completely shattering the ground beneath!!
Witnessing this, Boa Hancock imdiately furrowed her brow.
She then comnted, "To still possess such strength despite such severe injuries... What a fearso man."
After a glance at Whitebeard who was staring intently at her, Hancock contemplated briefly before withdrawing further, ceasing her assault.
"Fufufufu~"
"Why did you stop?" Doflamingo grinned, clearly hoping to see the spectacle continue.
After casting a cold glare at Doflamingo, Hancock stated, "This queen has no interest in fighting Whitebeard."
"So you're giving up on killing the Blood-Eyed Ninja?" Doflamingo raised an eyebrow.
"This queen will kill him eventually," Hancock said coldly. "But not now."
As she spoke, Hancock glanced aningfully at Whitebeard, her intention perfectly clear.
Understanding her aning, Doflamingo nodded and said nothing more.
Observing this exchange, Sengoku murmured, "Afraid of Whitebeard's power, so she plans to temporarily spare the Blood-Eyed Ninja?"
It seed even a woman like Boa Hancock feared Whitebeard.
Sengoku then glanced at the other Royal Seven Warlords of the Sea, noticing they all remained stationary as spectators, clearly unwilling to continue fighting.
'It seems we can't count on these Warlords.' Sengoku thought with a furrowed brow.
Oh well, we never expected much from them anyway.
Shaking his head, Sengoku fixed his gaze on Whitebeard and muttered, "Whitebeard, let's see how much longer you can hold on."
He then shouted, "Attack! Take down Whitebeard!"
"Ooh!!"
The Marines, receiving their orders, roared as they charged toward Whitebeard.
What greeted them was Whitebeard's overwhelmingly powerful Tremor Fist!
BOOM!!
"Even with such severe injuries, he can still unleash such trendous power..." iser marveled. "Truly worthy of being called the World's Strongest Man!"
Glancing at the distant Marine Headquarters Building cracked by Whitebeard's shockwaves, iser's eyes filled with admiration.
He then manipulated his Susanoo to move toward Whitebeard's location.
This ti, no foolish Marines dared to trouble him, all watching iser with cautious eyes.
But iser paid them no mind, sweeping his gaze over them before looking away.
Upon reaching Whitebeard's side, iser dispelled his Susanoo, returning himself to the ground.
As the ability faded, the sensation of being torn apart by a thousand blades disappeared from iser's body, making him feel considerably relieved.
"Haaah~"
After exhaling deeply, the furrow in iser's brow smoothed out.
'I should avoid using that level of Susanoo unless absolutely necessary,' iser thought to himself.
After all... the pain was simply unbearable!
'I wonder if I can awaken Wood Release,' he pondered.
If he could awaken Wood Release, he should be able to nullify these side effects.
At this thought, a glimr of anticipation appeared in iser's eyes.
"Ninja boy."
Whitebeard, who had been catching his breath with several deep gasps, turned to look at iser beside him. "Aren't you leaving yet?"
"If I wanted to leave, I could depart from here at any ti."
"I see."
Whitebeard nodded upon hearing this and said no more.
At that mont, iser spoke up: "Uncle Whitebeard, you've already prepared to go down with the Marines, haven't you?"
"Gurararara!"
Whitebeard laughed heartily at this. "You're right, ninja boy! I do intend to sink into the ocean along with this island!"
Watching Whitebeard laugh so freely, iser thought: 'Is this how he plans to bid farewell to this era?'
Ending things this way was indeed a fitting choice for Whitebeard.
After all... he was the World's Strongest Man!
Thinking this, iser nodded and said: "Alright, I understand."
"Gurararara~"
"Ninja boy, you should leave too." Whitebeard looked toward the distant Marine Headquarters Building. "Leave this place to ."
"Alright."
This ti iser didn't refuse, but nodded in acceptance of Whitebeard's suggestion.
"Damn it, this bastard really plans to sink Marineford." Sengoku said with an unpleasant expression. "No, we absolutely cannot let him succeed!"
"Charge! Take down Whitebeard!"
"ROGER!!"
"Gurararara~"
"Co, all of you co!"
Watching the Marines charging toward him, Whitebeard laughed heartily. "The more the better!"
"CRACK!"
"BOOM!!"
With a single strike, he sent another wave of people flying!
After one last glance at Whitebeard vigorously holding off the enemies, iser left the area with Bartholow Kuma.
"Captain Buggy, shall we make our move?!"
Looking at Whitebeard's retreating figure, Buggy's subordinate shouted excitedly. "Now's the perfect opportunity!"
With the ninja brother no longer by Whitebeard's side, Captain Buggy will surely be able to take down this old man!
"Don't rush, wait a bit longer," Buggy said. "It's not ti yet."
"Yes, Captain Buggy!"
Watching Buggy interact with his subordinates, Mr. 3 silently sighed.
Wait?
Could this guy Buggy really believe he can kill Whitebeard...
Don't be ridiculous!
Even severely wounded, that man isn't soone small fries like them can provoke!
"Third Brother, don't look so gloomy~" a pirate approached and said. "Our Captain Buggy is about to beco one of the Four Emperors, you should be happy."
Mr. 3:....
Happy?
Happy my ass!!
Forget it, can't be bothered to argue with this guy.
Shaking his head helplessly, Mr. 3 turned his gaze to another part of the battlefield.
"Bastard Akainu, shut your mouth!!" Ace roared.
"This old man didn't say anything wrong, why should I shut up?!"
"Bastard, I won't allow you to insult my savior!"
As these words fell, terrifying flas erupted from Ace's body, instantly igniting the surrounding area.
Then, he raised his fist and struck at Akainu.
"Fire Fist!!!"
Seeing this, a flicker of delight passed through Akainu's eyes, and he imdiately launched his attack without hesitation.
"Great Eruption!!"
Their attacks collided violently, creating a terrifying shockwave!
"BOOM!!"
"Ah!!"
So pirates who tried to help were blown away, their bodies scorched by the intense heat.
"Don't get close to them, you'll get burned to death!"
"Dammit, Ace!!"
Seeing Ace clearly at a disadvantage, the pirates' eyes filled with anxiety.
If Ace gets taken out here, all their efforts would be in vain!
"Bastard Akainu, take back what you said!" Ace shouted.
As he spoke, he unleashed even greater power, forcibly pushing back Akainu's magma.
"Hmph, ridiculous!"
Akainu sneered. "You're all failures, what right do you have to make take back my words?"
While speaking, Akainu also increased his power, gradually pushing Ace's flas back.
The next mont...
"BOOM!!!"
A terrible explosion sent Ace flying backward.
"Ah!"
After crying out in pain, Ace crashed to the ground.
"Thinking you can let your guard down just because you're a Logia Devil Fruit user?" Akainu coldly stared at Ace. "How naive!"
"Yours is just ordinary fire, while I am magma that can burn even fire itself!"
"My ability is clearly superior to yours!"
"Dammit...."
Clutching his burned arm, Ace's face was full of pain.
If only my Haki were stronger....
Damn it!
"Ace, are you okay?!"
Seeing Ace fallen on the ground, Luffy's face imdiately showed concern.
But before he could run to Ace's side, his legs suddenly went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Huh?"
"I... why can't I move?" Feeling the change in his body, Luffy's expression turned grim.
Jimbei: !!!
"Hey, what's wrong with you?!" Jimbei asked anxiously. "Why did you collapse all of a sudden?"
"Has he reached his limit already....."
Looking at Luffy's condition, Ivankov's expression imdiately turned grim.
"Reached his limit?"
"Yes." Ivankov nodded. "This kid already went through a life-and-death crisis at Impel Down. After that, he only regained mobility thanks to the Stimulation Hormone."
Bon Clay was stunned upon hearing this, then said incredulously, "Lady Ivan, didn't you say that Stimulation Hormone could make soone feel no fatigue for an entire day? Then why would Little Straw Hat..."
"Stimulation Hormone isn't omnipotent." Ivankov explained. "When the body reaches its limit, it will collapse regardless!"
As he spoke, a trace of worry appeared in Ivankov's eyes.
He knew very well that Straw Hat Boy's body was currently in a very dangerous state!
If he didn't rest soon... Straw Hat Boy might die!!
Thinking this, Ivankov imdiately ran toward Luffy's direction.
"Straw Hat Boy...."
Looking at the collapsed Luffy, Akainu's eyes instantly erupted with intense killing intent.
As if sensing sothing, Ace imdiately looked up and shouted, "Bastard, what are you planning to do?"
"Both you brothers carry sinful bloodlines, so you must die here!" Akainu said coldly. "Just watch - watch how your brother dies by my hand!"
No sooner had he spoken than Akainu quickly bypassed Ace and charged toward Luffy.
"Luffy!!"
"Huh?"
Seeing Akainu charging toward him, Luffy was montarily stunned.
"Am... am I going to die?"
Reaching the air above Luffy, Akainu unhesitatingly transford his arm into magma and fiercely struck down at Luffy.
"Stop!!"
Witnessing this scene, Ivankov and the others' eyes turned red with fury.
"Death Wink!"
A long-range attack hit Akainu's lower body, directly turning his legs into magma, but it still couldn't stop him from launching his attack.
"Useless!" Akainu roared. "No one can save him now!"
"Die!!"
"Whoosh~"
"Wha...?!"
Seeing the Blood-Eyed Ninja suddenly appear before him, Akainu's pupils instantly contracted to their limits.
The next mont...
"Thud!!"
"Boom!!"
The terrifying magma fist struck iser, directly blasting a huge hole through his body!
But instead of showing any satisfaction, Akainu's face darkened.
'Damn it, how did this brat suddenly appear before ?!' Akainu thought with a grim expression as he looked at iser. 'Wasn't he just beside Whitebeard monts ago?!'
At that mont, a figure surfaced in Akainu's mind.
"Bartholow... Kuma!
Yes, it must be this guy who used his Devil Fruit ability to help the Blood-Eyed Ninja! Otherwise, there's no way he could have reached so quickly!
Thinking this, Akainu scanned the area behind him with his Observation Haki and indeed noticed Kuma's unusual behavior.
That guy was still maintaining a palm-striking pose!
'Damn you, Kuma!'
"iser?!"
Seeing iser shielding him, Luffy's eyes imdiately turned red.
Ace, who had lunged forward recklessly, crashed heavily onto the ground at that mont.
Ignoring the pain from his own fall, he looked anxiously at iser and said, "You..."
"Cough... I'm fine."
Gritting his teeth against the excruciating pain, iser summoned his Susanoo.
He then grabbed Ace and Luffy, tossing them both backward.
"Whoosh!"
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
Two du
ll thuds echoed as Luffy and Ace landed in front of Ivankov and the others who were rushing over.
"Thank goodness they're unhard..."
Seeing that the two were completely unscathed, Ivankov breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he turned his worried gaze to iser and said, "Why hasn't this kid disappeared this ti?"
"Could it be..."
As if struck by a sudden thought, Ivankov's pupils contracted to their limits.
Could it be... that this kid's Undying Body has been deactivated?
At this realization, Ivankov's expression turned extrely grim.
