----------
Blackbeard's head, impaled on a javelin, stood in the center of Marineford's Plaza. This shocking scene instantly spread throughout the world.
"Blackbeard was really killed!"
"So terrifying!"
"This is Groudon Company!"
The reporters trembled all over. From the initial bounty of 1 billion Berries, to defeating Fire Fist Ace and becoming a world-renowned Warlord, and then being hunted to death by Groudon Company at Marineford!
More than Blackbeard's death, the world was shocked by Groudon Company's ruthless methods, which could be described as revenge at all costs. Everyone understood one thing: if they could live in a Hoenn Community, they would no longer have to worry about accidental death.
In this precarious era, there was no better guarantee!
Immediately after, even bigger news emerged. The Whitebeard Pirates versus Marineford in an all-out war, and the great pirate Edward Newgate, Whitebeard, had fallen in battle from exhaustion!
"Whitebeard is dead!"
One after another, bombshell news stories washed over the minds of the world.
Marineford
"Pops!" Every member of the Whitebeard Pirates cried bitter tears over Whitebeard's death. This father, who had protected them for decades, had finally reached the end of his life. But the war was not over yet!
"I said I wouldn't let you escape!" Akainu, alone, once again pursued the remnants of Whitebeard's crew. Whitebeard was already dead, and Fire Fist Ace had also been severely wounded by him; his death was only a matter of time. But Whitebeard's subordinates had not all died yet.
Akainu was enveloped in sulfurous smoke, his fists covered in magma. "None of you will escape!"
"Boom!!!" Explosions roared!
In the center of the battlefield. The Blackbeard Pirates' executives fled one after another. Facing the threat of the Marines, Groudon Company's executives did not pursue them, instead gathering behind Daichi.
Whitebeard was dead, and Blackbeard had also been killed by Daichi. Now, the Marines only had Daichi as a threat. The Marines quickly surrounded them. As soon as Fleet Admiral Sengoku gave the order, they could launch an attack at any time.
If this war could annihilate both the Whitebeard Pirates and Daichi the Destroyer, it would be an unprecedented great victory for the Marines.
Daichi looked at Sengoku, his gaze cold. "Are you planning to go to war with us?"
"I cannot let you leave!" Sengoku's eyes were filled with gloom. This was the best chance to keep Daichi the Destroyer!
Daichi showed contempt in his eyes, leaning down and pressing his palm to the ground: "Since you are so confident, then let's see!"
"Rumble!!!" The ground began to tremble!
"What happened?"
"An earthquake?!" The Marine officers stumbled, their faces pale. They had had enough of earthquakes! But this tremor was not just a simple earthquake!
"Splash!!!" At the island's edge, a large amount of seawater surged in! The Marine officers quickly realized the truth, their expressions filled with extreme terror.
"Marineford is sinking!"
"Daichi the Destroyer wants to sink Marineford into the sea!"
"Stop him quickly!" One meter, two meters... The island was sinking rapidly, and seawater quickly flooded Plaza. If Marineford sank into the sea, countless casualties would inevitably occur!
"Stop!" Sengoku transformed into his Great Buddha Form, swinging a palm strike with a shockwave towards Daichi!
"Precipice Blades!" Daichi didn't move. Precipice Blades rose from the ground, striking towards Sengoku's body. If Sengoku continued to attack, he himself would also be injured! But Sengoku did not stop.
Seawater had flooded Marineford, and the main Marine forces were submerged in the water. Even Aokiji couldn't freeze the seawater. Doing so would freeze the Marine soldiers to death as well. Therefore, even if it meant taking damage, he had to prevent Marineford from sinking further!
"Boom!!!" A huge shockwave enveloped everyone from Groudon Company, and at the same time, Precipice Blades pierced Sengoku's abdomen.
"Rumble!!!" Both sides exploded simultaneously!
Daichi withstood the shockwave, while all of his subordinates behind him vomited blood and flew backward, clearly unable to withstand the Fleet Admiral's attack.
Lasers and ice spears shot towards him! Daichi's eyes darted left and right, and the rocks on both sides of his body rapidly rose, blocking the lasers and ice spears.
Aokiji and Kizaru had also returned. Akainu was with the remnants of Whitebeard's crew. Compared to pursuing pirates who had lost their will to fight, they were needed more here.
"Don't think that having more people is enough. Since you haven't had enough fighting, I will accompany you to the very end and see just how capable the Marines truly is." Daichi's eyes turned red, and his body rapidly expanded and grew taller.
"Roar!!!" Groudon roared in anger, and a visible sound wave blasted away all the approaching Marine officers. Immediately after, a dazzling beam of flame swept across the ground!
"Boom boom boom!!!" Continuous explosions!
"Fist of Justice: Meteor!" Garp's full-power punch made Daichi retreat several steps, but in his Groudon Form, such an attack could only cause him pain, not defeat him!
"Yasakani no Magatama!" Laser light points fell like rain, hitting Groudon's outer shell. But it was useless. Groudon's outer shell was no less defensive than Jozu's diamond. Even Hawkeye Mihawk's slashes might not be able to break through his defense.
Daichi's entire body glowed red. The ground beneath his feet melted into magma, and the surrounding temperature rapidly rose. The astonishing heat wave made it impossible for ordinary Marine officers to even approach him! His target wasn't Sengoku and the Admirals, nor was he so arrogant as to believe he could defeat multiple top-tier powerhouses.
His target was this island, and the main Marine forces! Magma rapidly surged outwards, combining with the seawater pouring in from the coast, stripping the Marines of their footing.
"Hehehehe!" Daichi laughed wildly: "As long as I stand on the ground, Marineford will continue to sink! Come and stop me if you have the ability!"
"Bastard!" Sengoku's face was veined: "Full attack! He can't hold out much longer!"
"Understood!" Lasers, shockwaves, ice blocks! All sorts of attacks continuously landed on Daichi. The disadvantage of a massive body was the difficulty in dodging attacks, forcing him to endure them. But the advantage was unparalleled defensive power.
"That really hurts!" Daichi unleashed a breath attack towards Sengoku, and swung his tail to sweep at Kizaru and Aokiji, feeling like he was fighting the Five Kage while in Susanoo. His stamina was rapidly depleting.
And his entire body was in pain, especially from Garp's fists pounding on him. Each punch infused Haki into his body. He wouldn't last much longer like this. But the destruction he caused was also astonishing.
The entire Marineford was already submerged in seawater, and a large amount of magma was spreading outwards from him as the center. The boiling seawater scalded the Marine officers, making them wail in agony. They all desperately swam towards higher ground like the fortress castle.
However, not everyone could swim to safety. Marine soldiers continuously lost strength and fell into the water. Akainu's battle with the commanders was also affected. Even if Akainu was strong, as a magma man, he couldn't fight in seawater and had to jump onto a warship.
"Hehehehe, how cold-blooded!" Daichi sneered mockingly: "You've achieved your objective in the war with the Whitebeard Pirates. The Marine soldiers are already exhausted. Now, to deal with us, you completely disregard the casualties of ordinary Marine soldiers. Is this your justice?"
"As long as I can capture you, every sacrifice is valuable!" Sengoku stood on a reef. Even though he heard the screams from behind him, there was not a trace of wavering in his eyes. He knew very well that going to war with Daichi would cause significant casualties for the Marines, but as long as he could kill Daichi here, the threat of the Beasts would soon collapse on its own!
Without Daichi, their mastermind, those barbarians who only knew war would not amount to anything, and eventually, the world situation would return to stability. Marineford could be rebuilt, and Marine soldiers could be conscripted again. For the stability of the world, even if 100,000 troops were completely wiped out, he would kill Daichi here!
Daichi was the greatest threat to the world!
"Hehehehe, truly worthy of being the wise general, Buddha Sengoku!" Daichi laughed heartily. To achieve one's goals, one must use any means necessary. Coincidentally, he was the same!
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku!" A Vice Admiral, using Moonwalk, rushed to Sengoku's side, reporting anxiously: "Kaido has led the Beast Pirates to conquer G-1 Branch and Red Port, and is currently heading to Mary Geoise!"
"What?!" Sengoku's face changed drastically!
