Chapter 276 Whitebeard Makes a Move
"Rumble..."
Suddenly, a deafening roar resounded, as if the entire sea was trembling. The once calm sea was now stirred up by a mysterious force, the water churning and surging, forming a massive whirlpool. This unusual sight finally caught the attention of the navy, who all turned their gaze to the turbulent area.
However, at just one glance, everyone's expression instantly turned solemn, as if they had witnessed something extremely terrifying. These naval personnel, whether officers or soldiers, were all selected from among the elite, and their knowledge was naturally extraordinary. In just an instant, they realized that a huge ship must be hidden beneath the sea.
On the high platform, the expressions of Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji also changed slightly.
Aokiji, in particular, frowned deeply, and for a moment even considered taking action immediately.
However, it was all too late. In the next instant, the Whitebeard Pirates' flagship, the Moby Dick, emerged from the seabed like a giant beast rising from the depths, appearing before everyone.
The Moby Dick was a massive and magnificent ship, its sails fluttering in the wind. And standing in the very center of the deck was none other than the legendary great pirate—Whitebeard himself.
Holding the massive Murakumogiri sword, he stood like a war god at the bow of the ship, gazing at the crowd on the high platform. His gaze, like a burning flame, swept over Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, Garp, and Vice Admiral Tsuru, finally settling on Ace, who was being held on the execution platform.
Standing behind him was Marco, the squad leader and ship's doctor, nicknamed "Phoenix," a user of the Bird-Bird Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Phoenix form, with a bounty of 1.374 billion Berries.
Squad 3 leader, "Diamond" Jozu, Paramecia-type Diamond Fruit user.
Team 5 leader, "Floral" Vista, one of the world's few top-tier swordsmen.
Squad 6 leader, Bramank, Paramecia-type Pocket-Pocket Fruit user.
Squad Leader, Lakyo
Squad 8 leader, Namur, a merman.
Squad Leader Blenheim.
Squad Leader 10, Curiel.
Squad Leader 11, Jin Guduo.
Squad Leader 12, Harta.
Squad Leader 13, "Buffalo" Artmos.
Squad Leader 14, Spido Kiel.
Squad Leader 15, Fosa.
Squad leader of 16, Yizang.
Apart from Second Division Commander Ace, who was being held on the execution platform, and Fourth Division Commander Thatch, who was unfortunately killed by Blackbeard, all fourteen other division commanders under Whitebeard were present!
They stood tall and straight behind the white-bearded man, their expressions resolute, as if declaring their determination and courage to the world.
The scene was like the eve of a life-or-death struggle; the tense atmosphere filled the air, making it almost impossible to breathe. On the high platform, Sengoku's face was extremely pale; he clenched his teeth, his heart filled with regret and self-reproach.
"I never expected that old man Whitebeard would be so cunning, managing to coat the Moby Dick and sneak it over from the seabed. We were so careless!"
"Sengoku muttered to himself, never expecting Whitebeard to pull such a move.
Standing beside Sengoku, Vice Admiral Tsuru's face was equally grim. Her brows were furrowed, clearly showing her deep anxiety about the current situation. Everything they had meticulously planned had been ruined by Whitebeard's actions.
Worse still, Whitebeard's move completely caught everyone off guard, leaving them unprepared. This situation, beyond their control, would not only make the upcoming events extremely unfavorable but would also severely damage the morale of the Marines.
However, Whitebeard seemed to have anticipated this. His gaze first fell in the direction of Ace, and then he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Ace... Popsie's here!"
Just then, he suddenly raised the Murakumogiri sword high in his hand. Then, without hesitation, he slammed the Murakumogiri sword down hard. With a loud "bang," the hilt of the sword was embedded deeply into the wooden planks of the deck, like a nail!
However, this was only the beginning. His movements didn't stop; he slightly bent his knees, as if gathering all his strength. The next moment, his fists lashed out like lightning, carrying unparalleled power, and slammed fiercely into the void.
"Crack..." A chilling sound rang out, as if the entire world had been torn apart in that instant. To everyone's astonishment, space itself was cracked with shocking fissures by his fist!
Moreover, these cracks did not stop spreading. On the contrary, as his abilities continued to increase, the cracks grew larger and larger, like a torn spider web, rapidly spreading outwards.
In an instant, the entire sea trembled violently, as if a giant beast had been disturbed.
Under this powerful shockwave, the sea surface was as if lifted up by an invisible hand, forming a localized tsunami. The giant waves, tens of meters high, swept in with overwhelming force, engulfing the entire Marine Headquarters.
"hiss……"
Seeing this breathtaking scene, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
Even peerless powerhouses like Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk and Boa Hancock, as well as high-ranking Marines such as Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, Garp, and Vice Admiral Tsuru, all had drastic changes in expression, their faces filled with disbelief.
There was really no other way; Whitebeard's move was just too powerful, it was practically defying the heavens!
Even the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, had no confidence that he could withstand this attack.
Even if he tried his best to cut the wave in half with a single stroke, the wave would not disappear; it would still press down like a mountain.
At that time, even a master like Hawkeye would probably find it difficult to escape being submerged by this giant wave.
This is one of the main reasons why Whitebeard is known as the world's strongest man.
Because his ultimate move is very difficult to counter.
Moreover, it can easily destroy an island.
Ice Age!
At that moment, Aokiji leaped into the air. He knew that if he didn't act now, no one present could stop the towering wave.
This move can release the cold air from the entire body into a frozen area, instantly turning the sea between several islands into frozen land, with the freezing time lasting up to a week.
At that moment, he spread his hands to the sides, releasing freezing air that shot towards the waves.
The moment the freezing air comes into contact with the waves, the waves freeze at an extremely fast speed.
