Chapter 94: The End of the Whitebeard Pirates

Whitebeard, covered in blood, was half-kneeling at the bottom of the sand pit. He looked like he had just crawled out of a swimming pool full of blood. Even the sand under his feet had been soaked in blood and turned into a terrible dark red color.

The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is unquestionable, but the more powerful the attack, the greater the burden on the body. With Whitebeard's current condition, he has already reached his limit after releasing the last blow.

"As expected of Whitebeard, he almost flipped over..."

Borsalino reappeared in the sand pit, somewhat amazed at Whitebeard's performance.

Although he had never come into contact with the so-called Stand user before, at the last moment he still found a way to deal with the Stand with his experience.

Unfortunately, Borsalino is not an ordinary Stand user, he is also a natural Devil Fruit user. Even if the Stand is seriously injured, it will not have any impact on Borsalino's original body.

Not to mention the half-crippled Whitebeard now, even if Whitebeard in his prime wanted to destroy his own Stand, he would not be able to succeed.

The Stand is an image with powerful force generated by the life energy in the Stand user's body. With Borsalino's life energy level, the Flash's power and speed have reached a terrifying level. Even the invincible Star Platinum can be defeated with just one punch from the Flash!

“Ahem… Gulala… As expected of a marine monster… What on earth was that just now?”

Whitebeard stood up shakily, leaning on the large pheasant sword Kusunokiri, with a heroic smile still on his blood-stained face.

"You can understand the new abilities I have developed."

Borsalino thought for a moment and answered casually. He had no intention of deceiving Whitebeard, but he also had no inclination to reveal his Stand's abilities.

Strictly speaking, he was not lying. 'Flash' was actually a new ability he developed. He just didn't say whether it was a stand ability or a devil fruit ability.

"I see. This is truly a terrifying power. It looks like my journey will end here..."

Whitebeard's breathing became more and more rapid, but his eyes remained firm and he did not lose his fighting spirit because of his approaching death.

"indeed so……"

Borsalino casually drew a lightsaber from the void, ready to send Whitebeard on his final journey.

On the other side of the battlefield, Blackbeard, who was beaten up by Esdeath and Hancock in turn, has turned into a Pig-Headed Three. However, considering his original dignity, this beating is equivalent to disfigurement equivalent to plastic surgery. His swollen face looks extremely funny and ridiculous, and he is not as ugly as before.

"Darkness·Maximum Equivalent·Release!"

Except for the part below the head, everything had been frozen into an ice block by Esdeath and was about to be sent to Orochimaru's world for research.

But at the last moment, Blackbeard, who pretended to have lost the ability to resist, suddenly attacked.

A huge amount of black smoke was released continuously, and along with the black smoke, there were countless ice blocks and rocks, pouring in all directions like a landslide.

Blackbeard, who has been patient until now, has been waiting for the last moment. Only by seizing Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit can he have hope of turning the tables.

No matter how badly he was beaten by Esdeath and Hancock, he gritted his teeth and saved the power of his last, strongest blow.

He had finally waited for this moment, until his father was on the verge of death and those two dead women were distracted!
"Thief hahahaha! The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit belongs to me!"

Black smoke was billowing out of Blackbeard's lower body, and his head, which was swollen like a pig, showed an ecstatic smile. He rushed towards Whitebeard at an astonishing speed.

At this moment, a ray of light flashed, and Blackbeard felt dizzy, and then he saw a headless corpse flying past.

For some reason, he always felt that this corpse looked strangely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere often...

Oh, yes, it's his body...

No wonder it looks so familiar...

"The person who can take advantage of me hasn't been born yet!"

Borsalino casually shook off the non-existent bloodstain on the lightsaber!
With his strength, it would be too easy for him to kill Blackbeard, who was at the end of his strength. God knows why Blackbeard thought that Borsalino would watch and let him take away the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

"Tikki..."

Whitebeard was about to use his last bit of strength to kill Blackbeard, but he didn't expect Borsalino to suddenly attack and cut off Blackbeard's head so simply and brutally.

Even an 'alien' like Teach, who has more than one heart, cannot survive after losing his head.

"Blackbeard is dead, it's time for you, Whitebeard, to leave too!"

Borsalino swung his lightsaber and rushed towards Whitebeard in a flash.

But just as he rushed out, Borsalino's face suddenly changed, and the ground between him and Whitebeard suddenly exploded. A huge face that could give people nightmares suddenly blocked Borsalino's way, pouting its terrifying "flaming red lips" and wanting to kiss Borsalino.

It was none other than the commander of the Revolutionary Army’s Grand Line Army, the Demon King Ivankov!

"Fuck!"

At the critical moment, Borsalino pulled back in time and braked his steps. At the same time, his substitute flew out and punched the demon who wanted to trick him, knocking him away.

She hasn't yet settled the score with the dead demon for tricking him by using the potion that would turn him into a woman, and now she's trying to make him have nightmares!

"Oooooh! That hurts!"

Ivankov, whose whole face was deformed, cried out in pain. Borsalino's stand-in didn't hold back when he threw this punch. It was because Ivankov's big face had an incredibly strong defense, otherwise it would not be surprising if his head exploded.

"You damn demon! Are you looking for death?"

Borsalino cursed with gnashing teeth, new hatred and old grudges surging in his heart. If it weren't for their previous friendship, Ivankov would have been finished by now.

"How terrible, how terrible..."

Ivankov covered his face and trembled. He seemed to have underestimated Borsalino's anger towards him. If he had really kissed him just now, would he be beaten to death?
After thinking about it carefully, it shouldn't be necessary. Considering his friendship with Borsalino, it would probably be enough for him to break a dozen or twenty bones and lie in bed for a year or two.

"Dad! I'll take you away from here first!"

Marco, his whole body burning with blue flames, fell from the sky. The self-healing ability of the Bird-Bird Fruit, the Mythical Beast, the Phoenix form was indeed powerful. After being hit by Borsalino's stand, he recovered so quickly.

Whitebeard stopped Marco from giving him emergency treatment.

He is very aware of his own body. Being able to stay alive is already the limit. Even if Marco works himself to death, it is impossible to heal his injuries.

"Let's go! Take Ace and everyone else away from here! All of you must survive and return to the new world safely! I am a remnant of the old era, and there is no ship in the new era that can carry me!"

Whitebeard pushed Marco away, and his tall body straightened up and stood up again!
Countless past memories flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern: Rocks, Roger, Oden...

"Dad!"

Marco tried to persuade him, but Whitebeard was extremely determined and would not change his mind no matter what Marco said.

Dragging his old, frail and seriously ill body, and fighting with Sengoku and Borsalino for such a long time, especially the severe damage caused by Borsalino, Whitebeard's body was already on the verge of limit.

The reason why he can still stand up now is just to give his sons a chance to survive.

Based on Whitebeard's understanding of Borsalino.

This former 'freak of the navy' would not be interested in the Whitebeard Pirates losing him as their captain.

Moreover, for the navy, completely destroying the Whitebeard Pirates may not be a good thing, especially when the navy is unable to quickly take over the Whitebeard Pirates' territory. It is likely to lead to a large-scale war among the pirates in the New World for the sake of territory.

In addition, the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates will also take the opportunity to expand massively. If the situation cannot be stabilized as soon as possible, the New World will become a super-large arena or even a breeding jar. God knows what incredible "things" will emerge in the end.

"We'll settle our accounts next time!"

Borsalino had no intention of killing Ivankov, so it was naturally not a good idea for him to settle accounts with him in public.

Just as Borsalino passed the Ogre King and walked towards Whitebeard, Marco suddenly stood between him and Whitebeard.

"If you want to hurt my father, you must first step over my dead body..."

Before Marco could finish his words, he suddenly heard a strong wind behind his head. Before he could react, Whitebeard's palm had already cut the back of his neck.

There was a loud bang, and the Phoenix Marco fell straight to the ground and fell into a coma.

“Gulala, I’m not old enough to hide behind my son! I’m leaving this kid in your care, take him away from here!”

Whitebeard knocked Marco unconscious, grabbed him by the collar and threw him at Ivankov, who was still crouching with his head in his hands.

He had already prepared himself mentally to die in Marinford, but Marco and the others still had an unlimited future, so there was no need for them to stay here and die with him, a dying man.

“Waaaaaah! Glad I got it~”

Ivankov was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He quickly opened his arms and stood up, narrowly preventing Marco from falling to the ground.

Borsalino did not stop them when he saw this. Just as Whitebeard guessed, his main target was only Whitebeard, and he had no intention of killing all of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The Whitebeard Pirates who lost Whitebeard also lost their qualifications as the Pirate Emperor Group, but their strength is not weak. They can still maintain their territory in the New World for a short period of time and will not cause too much unrest.

For Borsalino, who is about to succeed the post of Admiral of the Navy, stability is the best reason.

"Are you ready, Whitebeard?"

Borsalino's right hand gradually glowed. Before the time travel, he still liked the character of Whitebeard very much.

However, so many years have passed, and he has dealt with Whitebeard many times before. Even if there really is any character filter, it has almost disappeared now.

To Borsalino, Whitebeard was a potential threat to the navy, nothing more.

"Gulala! It's not that easy to get my head!"

The white light of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit also lit up on Whitebeard's fist. Originally, this attack was reserved for Teach, the rebellious son, but before he could make a move, Teach died at Borsalino's hands.

Although this seems a bit like repaying kindness with enmity.

But in order to allow his sons to escape from Marinford, Whitebeard had no choice but to leave this final blow to Borsalino.

"Dad! No!"

"Damn it! Let's fight the navy!"

"Even if it means death, I must save my father!"

……

Seeing that Whitebeard was going to sacrifice himself to protect them, the pirates were immediately in an uproar. Even those pirates who had already retreated to the ship and could leave Marinford at any time, many wanted to get off the ship and fight to the death with Whitebeard.

"Assholes! Do you want to waste Dad's kindness? Get back to the boat! Even if you want to accompany Dad to the end, we captains will come before you. It won't be your turn until we are all dead!"

The seriously injured captain of the 5th Division, Flower Sword Vista, shouted at the pirates.

In order to cover the departure of the crew members and the allies of the Revolutionary Army, he single-handedly stopped thousands of elite naval forces led by several vice admirals of the headquarters.

When the other captains finally arrived, Bista was covered in blood, as if he had just been fished out of a sea of ​​blood.

There was so much blood that even he couldn't tell how much was from the enemy and how much came from his wounds.

But even so, Vista is still active at the forefront of the battle, following his father's orders, trying his best to cover the retreat of his crew and the revolutionary army's allies.

“Everyone retreat to the boat! Leave this to me! Uhhhhhhhhhh!”

The captain of the Third Division, Diamond Joz, lifted up the super-giant ice prism that Esdeath had left behind. With his terrifying brute strength, he actually lifted up this hundreds-meter-long behemoth as a weapon.

"What is that?!"

"What an amazing power!"

"Damn it! We can't get through this!"

……

Under pressure from the might of the ice prism, the navy didn't even dare to take a step beyond the line. The weight of the hundreds of meters long ice prism itself was unknown how many tens of thousands of tons. Even Joz had to rely on the shining fruit to turn his entire body into diamonds in order to bear such a terrifying weight.

Otherwise, even if he had the strength to lift the ice prism, he would be crushed into a pulp by such incredible weight.

"Asshole! I won't lose in a contest of strength!"

A giant lieutenant admiral, relying on his natural strength, tried to snatch the ice pillar back from Joz, at least to prevent Joz from waving the ice pillar to stop the navy's advance.

However, he underestimated Joz's strength and even more so the weight of the ice prism. Not only did he fail to snatch the ice prism from Joz's hand, he was also knocked away by this huge monster.

Unfortunately, the captains' efforts were not enough to change the one-sided battle situation, especially as more and more pirates and revolutionary forces returned to the ship, the number of pirates left to continue resisting decreased.

Even the most powerful captains seemed so powerless in front of naval elites that outnumbered them by dozens or even hundreds of times their numbers.

Countless people watched this scene through the live broadcast, watching the Whitebeard Pirates gradually approaching their demise. "That's the end of it..."

Borsalino ignored Ivankov who ran away with Marco. To be honest, he didn't have much resentment towards Whitebeard. Compared with other pirates and even the Pirate Emperor, Whitebeard, who only wanted to pursue family warmth, was simply a kind man.

However, Whitebeard's reputation will swell to an astonishing height after the Battle of Marineford, and his existence itself will pose a threat to the navy.

"Gulala, before I die I want to tell you a huge secret! Roger's treasure..."

Whitebeard laughed fearlessly. Apart from not being able to see how strong Borsalino was now, he had no regrets in his life.

"Shut up! Flash Meteor!"

Borsalino raised his eyebrows slightly, and his whole body was shining with dazzling light. The next moment, he crossed the distance between him and Whitebeard, and his right arm pierced through Whitebeard's chest with lightning speed, crushing the heart of the "strongest man in the world".

Before Whitebeard finished speaking, Borsalino had already guessed what he was going to say.

He was just doing his job. Although Borsalino didn't care about Roger's Great Pirate Era, it would be bad to let Whitebeard advertise some great treasure in front of him.

It has to be said that Whitebeard was indeed weakened to a certain extent at this moment. Even his self-protective Armament Haki seemed so weak that he couldn't even slightly block Borsalino's attack.

'Snapped! '

However, in the next moment, Whitebeard, who was so weak, grabbed Borsalino's right arm tightly with his left hand... He was vomiting blood, but he still showed a devil-like smile.

Whitebeard's right fist, which had always been condensing white light, suddenly exerted force and hit Borsalino's head hard.

This was his last blow before his death. As long as he could severely damage Borsalino, the navy would not have the energy to continue chasing the Whitebeard Pirates.

'boom! ’

A violent explosion sounded, and the blast and smoke instantly engulfed Whitebeard and Borsalino.

At the same time when Whitebeard attacked... Borsalino also swung his fist forward without hesitation.

The strongest in the past VS the strongest now!
The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and the Flash-Flash Fruit erupted at the same time. The collision between the two monsters caused the entire Marinford to tremble. Even Akainu and Shanks, who were fighting to the death, were shocked for a moment by the terrifying aura.

Everyone's eyes were involuntarily focused together, staring at the battlefield covered in smoke and dust!

Not everyone can withstand Whitebeard's fatal blow.

Unfortunately, there were too many strong people in Marinford at this time, and even the top strong people who were rarely seen in normal times were close to ten digits. With so many powerful domineering auras interfering with each other, the observation aura also lost its effect.

Even Ben Beckman, who possesses super observation ability, cannot perceive the final result in advance.

'Da da da……'

Soon, a light sound of footsteps was heard in the smoke and dust that had not yet dissipated. The people in the navy camp showed joy on their faces, and Marshal Zhan Guo showed an expression full of expectation.

Only the pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates never gave up hope. Although the wound through the chest was almost fatal, that man was their father Whitebeard!

No matter what kind of enemy, no matter how difficult or dangerous the obstacles are, Whitebeard cannot be defeated!
However, the miracle did not happen. When the figure emerged from the smoke and dust, countless navy soldiers could not help but cheer.

"We won! Admiral Kizaru defeated Whitebeard!"

"Long live General Kizaru!"

"Long live the Navy!"

……

The morale of the navy was boosted again when they saw the figure emerging from the smoke and dust was Borsalino. Before this, Borsalino's image in the minds of the middle and lower-level navy was not very good.

But from the moment he killed Whitebeard with his own hands... he naturally became the second hero of the navy after Vice Admiral Garp!
He defeated Whitebeard's Borsalino with his own hands, and naturally earned the title of "the strongest man in the world".

"It was really dangerous. I was almost killed..."

Borsalino casually brushed the dust off his clothes. It was clearly a collision of that magnitude, but he still had the strength to use his armed color domineering to protect his clothes.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, Whitebeard's body appeared in everyone's sight.

His body was covered with wounds of varying sizes. There were more than a dozen cuts deep enough to see the bone, all caused by Borsalino. The right side of his chest was pierced through, and in the blood hole that was thicker than his arm, one could even see crushed heart fragments.

In addition, Whitebeard's right hand was almost smashed into a pulp by the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and the Flash-Flash Fruit. Whitebeard, who fought desperately before his death, no longer had any extra armament domineering to protect his arm.

But even after the battle reached such a tragic point, Whitebeard, covered in blood, still stood on the battlefield, as if announcing to the world that death could not bring this man down.

"Dad!"

The pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates' eyes were bloodshot and they shouted in grief and anger!

They never imagined that the man who had been protecting them would one day die at the hands of the navy.

"Go! Don't let Dad down!"

"Everyone must survive! Only by surviving can we have a chance to avenge our father!"

"Do you want Dad to die in vain?"

……

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates suppressed their grief and tried their best to stop the crew members who were blinded by anger and wanted to kill Borsalino to avenge Whitebeard.

Not only the pirates from Whitebeard's own team, but also the forty-three pirate groups under Whitebeard's command, there are countless pirates who want to avenge Whitebeard.

"He's really dead! That Whitebeard! The strongest man in the world!"

"Wow! So the admirals of the navy are so strong?!"

"Great! The Whitebeard who was scarier than a demon is finally dead!"

……

People around the world who were watching the live broadcast couldn't help but cheer. Although compared to other pirates, Whitebeard's style was relatively less brutal, as the most famous pirate of this era, many people would instinctively transfer their dislike for pirates to Whitebeard.

"Tsk, he died at the hands of the navy, it seems Whitebeard is getting old!"

"Asshole! That guy hasn't told me the big secret yet! Where is Roger's treasure hidden?"

"Hahahaha! No one would still believe in the so-called great secret treasure! The secret that Whitebeard wants to tell is most likely that the Pirate King's treasure is fake!"

……

Of course, there were also pirates from all over the world watching the live broadcast. Some pirates even watched the live broadcast standing next to the corpses of civilians after they had just looted a town.

For pirates, Whitebeard is undoubtedly the object of their pursuit and worship, especially after the death of Pirate King Roger. Whitebeard is not only the 'strongest man in the world', but also the strongest pirate!

But now even Whitebeard was killed by the navy admiral, which made many pirates who had just set out to sea or were preparing to set out to sea want to retreat.

After all, even Whitebeard is no match for the navy, so if small fry like them rashly go out to sea, what's the difference between that and committing suicide?
Of course, there are also pirates who have developed greater ambitions because of this. They want to surpass Whitebeard or even the Pirate King Roger, but such pirates are always a minority.

[A passerby who wants to hug Luo Feng's thigh: I am stupid, no, Kizaru is too powerful! Blackbeard and Whitebeard were both killed by him?! ]

[Kobayashi: Well, the names of these pirates are all funny, Blackbeard, Whitebeard, Red Hair~]

[Grayhara Ai: Wait, didn't the stupid dog always say that Whitebeard was on the same level as the admiral? Why did Borsalino seem to win so easily?]

[Fubuki: This is so exaggerated. That Whitebeard might be even stronger than a dragon-level monster, but he was defeated just like that...]

[Tony Stark: Oh, I think I need to consider a new plan to upgrade the Iron Man suit. This world is too dangerous! ]

[Xiao Mei: These people are so strong... Even the clan leader... No, even the legendary Dou Huang and Dou Zong are only this strong! ]

[Orochimaru: I can't wait to study the remains of these strong men. Their physical strength is incredible...]

[Jotaro Kujo: There are so many pirates, this is such a terrible world...]

[Orochimaru: Oh no? With so many magical devil fruits and incredible treasures like pure gold, isn't this world beautiful enough? ]

[Tony Stark: Hey, do you think that pure gold can really make people regain youth and immortal? ]

[Orochimaru: Haha, I don't know, but judging from the behavior of the rulers of the world where Lord Borsalino lives, the effect of pure gold should be true. ]

[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng: Well, it’s actually not that difficult to get pure gold. Later on, Master Kizaru will definitely have to personally escort the pure gold to Marijoa to give it to the Five Elders. ]

[A passerby who wants to cling to Luo Feng: We can just pick a world where the time flow rate is the biggest difference from the Pirate World, and let Kizaru stay there for a while. It will only take a few minutes for him to return to the Pirate World. And I think Kizaru may have other ideas...]

[Tony Stark: I see. These few minutes are a long time compared to other worlds. It is enough for us to study the properties of pure gold! ]

[Fubuki: You can ask Lord Borsalino to come to my world. I have tested it with Ai-chan before. The speed of time in my world is quite fast! ]

[Grayhara Ai: That's right. According to the time flow rate of Borsalino to your world, if one month passes in Fubuki-chan's world, about seventeen minutes will pass in Borsalino's world.]

[Tony Stark: Wow! This is awesome!]

[Orochimaru: Then let's wait until the live broadcast is over, and I will make the proposal to Borsalino. ]

……

The comments in the live broadcast room started to go off topic as they chatted, but by now, obviously no one thought that the pirates still had a chance of making a comeback.

"Destroy all pirates!"

Seeing Whitebeard die at the hands of Borsalino, Akainu knew that he had no chance to compete with Borsalino again, but he did not give up on himself.

Even if he cannot become the admiral of the navy, he will do his best to fulfill the duties of a navy admiral.

Under the call of Admiral Akainu, the navy, whose morale was already high, began to hunt down the pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates without hesitation.

Although the grieving pirates could be considered as an army of mourners, the gap in troop strength was too great. Unless the pirates who had already boarded the ship gave up on escaping, it would be impossible for them to withstand the navy's offensive.

‘Boom! ’

However, at the critical moment, a terrifying domineering aura instantly swept across the entire Marinford, and it was as if a thunderbolt suddenly exploded in everyone's mind.

When everyone came back to their senses from the shock...

Only then did we see Shanks standing expressionlessly in the direction of the navy's pursuit of the pirates, trying to stop the navy's offensive by himself.

"This road doesn't work!"

Shanks shouted very firmly, his original idea was to protect the Whitebeard Pirates and let them escape safely, but now Whitebeard was killed in the battle, what if the main force of the Whitebeard Pirates was also destroyed.

Next, the New World will surely see an unprecedented melee as a fight breaks out over the territory left behind by the Whitebeard Pirates.

Especially for the two pirate emperors who were dreaming of expanding their territory and dominating the New World, Whitebeard's death was really great news for them.

Although Shanks is also the Pirate Emperor, the style of the Red Hair Pirates determines that they cannot compete with other pirate groups for territory.

If the Whitebeard Pirates' territory is taken over by Beasts and Big Mom, the New World will then belong to these two groups.

"Ignore him! Go for it!"

Even though the person standing before them was the Pirate Emperor, Demon Spider still showed no fear.

What the navy has been dreaming of for so many years is to end this so-called great pirate era.

Now that we have finally defeated the most powerful pirate, Whitebeard, we naturally have to press on and pursue the victory to completely destroy the Whitebeard Pirates!

Vice Admiral Spider led the charge. As an important member of the Navy's Hawk Faction, based on his understanding of Akainu, he would never allow Red-Haired Shanks to let the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates go.

"Big fire-breathing!"

Just as Spider Demon expected, when he found Shanks blocking the navy's path, Akainu rushed over from a distance. He was full of anger with nowhere to vent, so before he arrived, he punched out a large amount of hot lava in the air.

It is very difficult to determine the winner between top-level warriors. Even if one of them is determined to fight to the death, it is difficult to prevent the other from voluntarily withdrawing from the battle.

What's more, Akainu was no longer in his prime at this time. Fighting with many different enemies in succession not only consumed his physical strength, but also made Akainu very angry.

When he met Shanks, the Pirate Emperor who was just as powerful as him, after several rounds of fighting, Akainu was beaten so hard that he lost all his temper.

Otherwise, when Shanks unleashed his Conqueror's Haki just now, it wouldn't have been so easy for him to get rid of Akainu.
