Just then, the sea suddenly churned violently, and towering waves parted to both sides.
The Moby Dick emerged, breaking through the waves like an ancient sea beast awakening from the depths.
Whitebeard Edward Newgate stood at the bow, his massive naginata, Murakumogiri, slammed heavily onto the deck, and he let out a deafening roar.
"Gurarararara!" Whitebeard's laughter echoed across the sea, making everyone's scalps tingle. Another one of the Four Emperors had arrived!
He glared at Red-Haired Shanks, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes, "Red-Hair brat, your face means nothing here!"
These words were like a heavy hammer, striking directly at everyone's hearts.
Red-Hair's pupils constricted slightly, and his hand on his sword hilt unconsciously tightened.
Beckman's cigarette dropped from his mouth, and Lucky Roux's jaw nearly hit the deck. This was the man whose "face" even Marineford had to treat with caution!
Whitebeard completely ignored everyone's shock, his gaze like torches shooting toward the execution platform: "Sengoku! Hurry up and do it!"
Murakumogiri pointed straight at the trembling Teach, "I want to see this traitor die with my own eyes!"
Hearing Whitebeard's furious roar, Akainu snorted coldly, "Whitebeard, this is Marineford, not a place for you to run wild!"
"Gurarararara, then let it sink!"
As he roared, the entire sea began to churn unnaturally.
Whitebeard clenched his fists, crossed them in front of his chest, then suddenly pulled them apart— "Quake!"
*Crack—!*
The very atmosphere shattered like glass, and terrifying shockwaves spread outward from the Moby Dick.
The ten Marine warships at the forefront were instantly torn to pieces, huge cracks snaked across Marineford's fortress walls, and even the clouds in the sky seemed to be shaken apart, revealing the dazzling sunlight.
Sengoku's face changed drastically. This old man resorted to action at the slightest provocation. He immediately shouted a warning, "All units, defend!"
Then he turned to the executioners and roared, "Carry out the execution! Now!"
Akainu seized the chance to break free from Big Mom's entanglement. He absolutely could not let this old man disrupt the Marines. His magma-covered right arm aimed directly at Whitebeard: "Great Eruption!"
But Marco's blue phoenix flames appeared in time, blocking the attack.
"Pops said…" The Phoenix's eyes burned with rage, "He wants to see Teach die with his own eyes!"
On the execution platform, Teach's face was now ashen, large beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks.
He struggled desperately, oblivious to the shackles cutting into his flesh: "Pops! Pops! Listen to my explanation!"
Whitebeard ignored him. He strode forward, each step causing the sea to tremble: "Gurararara! Explanation?"
He suddenly flew into a rage, Murakumogiri sweeping out like a thousand-strong army, "When you laid hands on Thatch, you should have thought of this day!"
Red-Hair stood on the Red Force, looking at the spiraling situation, and sighed helplessly. Beckman lit a new cigarette: "Should we intervene?"
Shanks also had a headache: "Although it's the Whitebeard Pirates' internal affair, such chaos has already endangered the balance of the entire sea."
"Let's observe the situation first. Right now, Kaido and Big Mom are on one side, wanting to save Teach, while Whitebeard is aligned with the Marines, wanting Teach dead."
Beckman also frowned: "Unfortunately, the Marines would never truly ally with a pirate like Whitebeard. Even if they execute Teach, it's on their terms."
"They are all proud, unyielding men."
The battlefield had completely descended into chaos.
A violent surge of air suddenly rose from the sea. Kaido, in his Azure Dragon form, writhed in the sky, letting out an earth-shattering roar: "Ororororo! Whitebeard! Even if you want to execute this brat, you have to wait until I've finished beating him!"
Dragon claws tore through the clouds, azure scales gleaming with a chilling light under the sun, "The debt Rocks left behind must be paid by his son!"
Big Mom soared into the air, riding on Zeus, Napoleon pointed straight at Whitebeard, her pink curls writhing like venomous snakes: "Mamamama!! My childbearing plan isn't finished yet!"
Her obese body erupted with a terrifying aura, "If you want to kill him, you have to wait until he's fathered my children!"
Whitebeard didn't even bother to look at them. Murakumogiri slammed heavily onto the deck, triggering a new round of seaquakes. He glared at the two other Emperors, his voice rumbling like muffled thunder:
"Gurarara… you two ignorant fools!" His white crescent-shaped mustache twitched upward, "Letting a traitor like him live one more second is an insult to the very air!"
With his roar, the entire sea around Marineford began to boil. Whitebeard's arm muscles bulged, veins coiling like dragons, and spider-web cracks appeared around his fists—a sign of space itself shattering.
"Today, even if the Heavenly King himself descends—" Whitebeard suddenly threw a punch into the void, "—Teach must die first!"
*Crack!!*
A terrifying shockwave instantly swept across the entire battlefield!
Kaido's Boro Breath was scattered, Big Mom's thunderclouds were torn apart, and even the execution platform shook violently. Sengoku had no choice but to transform into his Golden Buddha form, using a shockwave of his own to neutralize this devastating blow.
"Newgate! Have you lost your mind?!" A trickle of blood escaped Sengoku's lips, "You'd kill your own son?!"
"Gurararara!" Whitebeard strode forward, Marines falling like wheat before him, "From the moment he raised his hand against his comrade, he was no son of mine!"
Marco transformed into a blue phoenix and soared into the sky: "Everyone! Avenge Thatch!"
Diamond Jozu's body fully crystallized, smashing directly through the Marine defense line. The entire Whitebeard Pirates charged toward the execution platform like tigers unleashed, unstoppable.
Akainu's magma fist collided fiercely with Whitebeard's Murakumogiri: "Whitebeard, you relic of a bygone era!" But the next second, he was sent flying hundreds of meters away, crashing through three fortifications.
On the execution platform, Teach was scared out of his wits, his shackles clanking as he struggled: "Help… help me!"
He screamed hysterically, "Someone save me! I'd rather have children with Big Mom!"
Big Mom was overjoyed at his words: "Mamamama! I'm coming to save you!" But before she could move, Whitebeard sent another punch through the air, the terrifying shockwave directly dispersing Zeus's thunderclouds.
"Newgate, you'd best think twice before you act!"
"Gurararara, you old hag, you dare threaten me?"
Whitebeard's eyes burned with towering rage, "I am Whitebeard!"
The sea breeze seemed to solidify, and Red-Haired Shanks's cloak hung limp in the suddenly still air.
He slowly raised his right hand, resting it on the hilt of Gryphon, "That's enough. This battle… ends here."
His voice was not loud, yet it cut through the clamor of the battlefield like a sharp sword.
Black and red Conqueror's Haki erupted with a roar, centered on the Red Force. A rift tore through the dark clouds, and sunlight plunged into the sea like a sword of judgment!
The decks of the nearest warships cracked under the pressure, and hundreds of Marine soldiers rolled their eyes and fell into the sea.
Beckman's flintlock was already loaded, the muzzle gleaming with a dangerous light: "Are we making our move?"
