Chapter 786: Battle of the Generals
"Don't think that we can win just because we have more people! Maybe we will be the ones to face the end! That man... has the power to destroy the world!"
Seeing such huge waves, even Sengoku was a little uneasy. This was an attack that was truly comparable to a natural disaster, and such an attack could only be regarded as Whitebeard's ordinary attack. The strongest man in the world is not just talk, it is too easy for one person to destroy a country, and the territory of the Navy Headquarters is not even comparable to that of a small country, which means that it has a great buffering capacity because it is guarded by strong people.
Not only the navy of the Marine Headquarters saw how powerful Whitebeard was, but everything that happened here was spread to the whole world by the recorder Den Den Mushi. Ordinary people who watched the live broadcast were finally able to intuitively feel how powerful Whitebeard was. Even though the Marine Headquarters was fully prepared and had a large number of troops, they no longer believed that the Navy would win!
The sense of oppression brought by Whitebeard was too strong, and they were almost scared to death even through the screen. Moreover, Whitebeard was the only one taking action now. What would happen if other captains took action? It was really hard to say what the outcome of this war would be!
Waves hundreds of meters high were getting closer and closer, even the sunlight in the sky was blocked. A huge shadow had covered them. The fear in the eyes of the navy in the square had reached its peak, because the huge waves had come close, and everyone was shrouded in the shadow of the waves. In a moment, the endless sea water would overturn, and death was at hand. The navy seemed to see the god of death waving at them!
"Ice Age!"
Just when the sea water was about to submerge everything, the Navy Admiral Aokiji Kuzan finally took action. He flashed into the air, exhaled cold air from his mouth, frost had already formed on both sides of his cheeks, and stretched his hands to both sides. An irregular icicle shot out from each palm and quickly extended towards the huge waves like a high wall.
The sea water that touched the icicle froze instantly, and the frozen sea water quickly spread from the connection point of the icicle to the surrounding area. In less than a breath, huge waves hundreds of meters high became an ice wall standing in front of the square!
The natural disasters caused by Whitebeard can indeed only be solved by the power of nature. Aokiji's move is the right remedy. If it were any other natural force, it would not be so easy to break Whitebeard's move. Whitebeard's move is aimed at flattening the entire naval base.
"Qing Pheasant! You little brat!"
Whitebeard's ultimate move was broken by Aokiji. Whitebeard was still a little unhappy, but he didn't care too much. If he only used this move as a trump card, it would be too weak. It would be unworthy of his title of Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world. He didn't expect to achieve the strategic goal with just one move.
"We're saved! It's General Kuzan..."
"You almost scared me to death!"
...
"Two stabbing spears!"
Aokiji did not stop after freezing Haixiao. He was already flying in the air, and Whitebeard happened to be right below him. It would have been unreasonable for him not to take action. Then he used his ability to condense several ice spears in the air and shot them at Whitebeard below.
Whitebeard did not just stand there posing, even though the ice spears were extremely fast, Whitebeard just swung his fist into the void, and the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit shattered all the ice spears. The ice spears were just appearances, Aokiji was Whitebeard's target, so with this attack from Whitebeard, even Aokiji himself was shattered into ice cubes that fell into the sea.
However, the title of Navy Admiral is not for nothing. Whitebeard's attack was just the ability of his fruit. The ice blocks that fell into the sea instantly froze the surrounding sea surface, and then Aokiji's body grew out of the ice.
The good thing about the Nature System is that, as long as it is not a domineering attack, it basically does no harm to them. When Aokiji is completely condensed into a human form, the sea water between the waves and the port is all frozen, forming a land-like area. Even Whitebeard and all his ships are frozen, which facilitates the battle between the lower-level forces of both sides.
Both sides thought of this when they saw the sea freezing. Without any orders from the superiors, team leaders or captains, many people jumped onto the ice and rushed towards each other.
Some artillerymen in the port were also not idle. Some pointed their guns at the pirate ships, some at the pirates on the ice, and some at Whitebeard.
Both sides on the ice, holding their own weapons, were looking for their opponents. The battle soon broke out. The entire battlefield was filled with the sounds of charges, shouts, and explosions of shells, and of course, the screams of some people who were injured.
The first marine to attack Whitebeard was Aokiji, and the first Shichibukai to attack Whitebeard was Hawkeye. Although he now wants to defeat Wick more, he also wants to see how big the gap is between himself and the world's number one man.
Hawkeye jumped to the edge of the port, which was the closest land to Whitebeard except for the ice. Hawkeye didn't say much. After standing firmly on his feet, he drew out the supreme sword behind him - the Black Blade Night. With a powerful flying slash and a slight roar, he slashed towards Whitebeard who was standing on the bow of the Moby Dick.
Hawkeye's actions attracted a lot of people's attention. In the eyes of the navy's top brass, Hawkeye was indifferent to everything, but this time he actually took the initiative to attack Whitebeard. Even Akainu was a little surprised.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea, led by Vic, were also paying attention to Hawkeye and Whitebeard, but Hawkeye's slash was blocked by Diamond Joz before it got close to Whitebeard. It wasn't completely blocked, either, as Joz finally managed to break the move by guiding the slash into the sky.
From this we can see that Hawkeye's slash is indeed powerful. Diamond Joz was suppressed by this slash and his face became a little hideous, but the power of the slash remained unchanged. This is the strength of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea that the Five Elders doubted.
Although Hawkeye's attack did not have a name, as a move to test the gap with Whitebeard, it could not be a move like a normal attack. And in the opinion of Wick, who had fought with Hawkeye, this was not his strongest move. The strongest move has always been the most direct and original close combat move. Only close combat moves will not cause unnecessary losses when attacking the enemy.
Diamond Joz's strength is only ranked in the middle to lower level among the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Being able to withstand Hawkeye's move to test him is already a very good performance. There are not many pirates with such strength on the sea, and he deserves the title as the captain of Whitebeard's ship.
Vic has no plans to take action now. Anyway, only Aokiji and Hawkeye have taken action, and the other strong men have not moved. With Vic's situation, he can wait a little longer. Besides, his purpose is not to come here to fight to the death with Whitebeard.
The big shot who followed Hawkeye in his attack was Kizaru. He simply turned into a beam of light and disappeared on the chair. The natural ability is so convenient.
"Eight-foot beautiful magatama!"
When Kizaru appeared again, he was already diagonally above Whitebeard. The huge ball of light was extremely dazzling, and then it condensed into a human form. The Yasakani no Magatama was shot towards Whitebeard below as if it was free.
However, Whitebeard still stood calmly at the bow, just as confident as when Hawkeye swung at him before.
The one who blocked the Yasakani no Magatama this time was the Phoenix Marco. He possessed the ability of the animal-type mythical beast Phoenix. Countless light beams hit the Phoenix but did not cause any damage.
The Phoenix's abilities are similar to the elementalization of nature, so it is naturally not afraid of Kizaru's attack. So apart from feeling a little dazzling in the sky, Whitebeard remains as steady as a rock.
Marco's strength is second only to Whitebeard in the Whitebeard Pirates. He is even stronger than Ace now, and not much worse than the admirals of the navy.
The Phoenix's inherent elemental properties and strong recovery ability make it a very formidable ability. This allows Marco to not be at a disadvantage even when facing the admirals and the Four Emperors. Although he will definitely not be able to defeat them, he can still deal with them for a long time, which is already a very good record.
After blocking Kizaru's attack, Marco did not retreat. Instead, he completely transformed into a phoenix and flew towards Kizaru. He wanted to have a head-on fight with Kizaru. However, Kizaru would not wait for Marco to fly close to him. He shot the Yasakani no Magatama at Marco again.
Of course, it's not that the Yasakani no Magatama is really free. This move is originally a large-scale rapid attack method with no accuracy. It belongs to firepower coverage. It is a powerful weapon in naval battles at sea, but it is not very effective in fighting against strong people. It didn't hurt Marco just now, and it still can't hurt him now. Marco soon flew to his side.
Marco transformed into a human with blue flame wings, and kicked Kizaru's neck with an inverted hook. This kick of Marco was wrapped with armed color domineering.
Kizaru was not stupid, so he naturally wouldn't use his neck to receive the kick, but raised his arm to block it. However, Marco's overhead kick was still more powerful than Kizaru's standing there motionless. Kizaru was kicked directly away and crashed into a wall, causing a violent explosion and smoke.
Although Kizaru was kicked away, he was not actually injured. Marco's legs wrapped in domineering power were blocked by his arms, and after flying out, it was a physical collision. How could a natural ability user be injured?
As soon as the explosion happened, Kizaru turned into a beam of light and instantly condensed his body in an open space. Even his clothes were not dirty. However, Kizaru did not attack again. Instead, he gave the giant vice admirals an order to pay attention to the air. Obviously, this order was aimed at Marco, who could fly, for fear that he would fly directly to the execution platform.
