Chapter 677: Ch. 677 – Ah-Hui, Sneak Up and One-Shot Him
Marineford—at this moment, all eyes in the pirate world were fixed here.
Today was the execution day of Ace, the son of the Pirate King.
At the same time, it was also the day the Navy set their trap for Whitebeard.
Everyone knew that today could change the world's power structure.
Either the Navy would fall, or the Whitebeard Pirates would.
Because of this, the whole world was watching.
As Fleet Admiral Sengoku announced Ace's crimes, the Moby Dick suddenly surged out of the sea in the waters of Marineford.
The battle commenced immediately.
Whitebeard stood at the bow of the Moby Dick, grinning as he looked at Ace on the execution platform.
The Three Admirals and Sengoku instantly changed their expressions upon seeing Whitebeard's current state.
They realized—Whitebeard seemed to have returned to his prime.
"Gurarara~~!"
"Ace, wait for me!"
As his voice fell, Whitebeard activated the Gura Gura no Mi.
The air cracked as tremor shockwaves spread across the sea.
In the next moment, a terrifying tsunami surged toward Marineford.
This was far more powerful than what was seen in the anime.
Seeing this, everyone's expressions changed.
"How is this possible?!"
"Whitebeard's injuries!!"
"Something's wrong! Something's very wrong!!"
Anyone with even a little strength was terrified.
How could Whitebeard still be this strong?
Everyone knew his strength had weakened due to his injuries and age.
Otherwise, the Navy would never have dared to provoke him.
But now—
Whitebeard's display of power stunned them.
He was clearly in his prime!
"The situation has changed!!"
Sengoku's face turned dark green.
Damn it!
Seeing this, Aokiji reacted instantly.
"Ice Age!"
A terrifying chill erupted, freezing the oncoming tsunami.
Just like the anime.
Once the waves were frozen, the Whitebeard Pirates began moving.
Takumi watched the scene with interest.
He even opened a livestream for those not present.
Izumi Sagiri:
[Ah Hui!! Go!!]
[Hit Akainu in the face!!]
Ace:
[Am I too late?]
[I want to join too!!]
Ace saw the group chat and fell deep into thought.
She hadn't checked for a while.
Had she missed something?
She possessed Mihawk's swordsmanship inheritance.
Clearly, she could fight Mihawk now.
Yet it seemed she had missed her moment.
Yuuki Asuna:
[Let me challenge Mihawk. Wait for a better opportunity.]
[This world is already starting to connect with ours.]
Kato Megumi:
[I'll go save Ace first.]
[As for Akainu... someone else can handle him. I'll take care of Blackbeard.]
Yotsuya Miko:
[Then I'll go deal with Doflamingo.]
Takumi's team chose their opponents one after another.
Watching this, Takumi smiled.
"Let's go."
"Mugen, you can go spar with Kizaru."
"Ah Hui, go rescue Ace first."
"Later, Luffy will arrive. I'll let him awaken and stir up a storm."
Takumi was clearly enjoying the chaos.
A big brawl was just what he wanted.
With his approval, the others took action.
Kato Megumi masked her presence completely and vanished.
A dagger appeared in her hand.
She darted toward the execution platform at a strange speed.
Most surprisingly, almost no one noticed.
That was the effect of Ah Hui's aura concealment.
Even with the pirate world's heightened senses, few could spot her.
Asuna also charged in.
Drawing her sword, she unleashed a massive wave of sword energy toward Mihawk.
The sudden assault caught the attention of the Shichibukai.
Mihawk's eyes lit up at Asuna's strike.
Someone this strong among the Whitebeard Pirates?
Mihawk was excited.
He drew his sword decisively and retaliated.
A dark arc of sword energy flew toward Asuna's attack.
Their sword strikes collided in midair, causing a massive shockwave.
The surroundings were instantly cleared.
But Mihawk's slash couldn't match Asuna's.
Even though Asuna had attacked casually, it was terrifying.
Mihawk's pupils shrank.
This girl... was strong!!
He didn't waste words—he charged straight in.
A fierce duel broke out.
Everyone watching was stunned.
What was going on?
Were all the Whitebeard Pirates this powerful now?
As Fujiwara Chika, Saten Ruiko, Yotsuya Miko, and Tendou Kigen joined the battle,
the pirate world was left in shock.
Why were such powerful people suddenly appearing?
The first opponent Tendou Kigen encountered was a sword-wielding vice admiral.
He was berated by her before he could even act.
Meanwhile, Fujiwara Chika was beyond words.
She controlled seawater and drowned every Devil Fruit user she could find.
Her accuracy was perfect.
Their weakness was the sea, after all.
The group chat was speechless.
Izumi Sagiri:
[Chika's superpower is totally OP here.]
[She controls water—how do Devil Fruit users even fight back?]
Kisaragi Shizuku:
[For real!]
[Devil Fruits are trash!]
Takumi:
[Removing weaknesses is key.]
[I got Enel's blood and studied it. Elementalization is incredible.]
[Without weakness, it's basically a god-tier trait.]
shiroyasha:
[Trash!]
[You think elemental powers are impressive?]
[Who are you looking down on?]
Houraisan Kaguya:
[Looking down on you, frozen bird girl!]
shiroyasha:
[(╬ Ò ‸ Ó)]
[Bastard!! My bird's a Fire type now!!]
Takumi:
[What bird? Show me!!]
Zhongli:
[Please stay on topic. Watch the battle seriously.]
Watching the argument unfold in the group, Zhongli was helpless.
They always managed to derail the conversation.
Takumi smirked and turned his attention back to the battlefield.
Honestly, Devil Fruits were fascinating.
Some abilities were purely conceptual.
With a bit of work, once brought into Takumi's world, they could evolve into something superior.
Maybe they'd become prizes later.
On the battlefield, the war had erupted in full force.
Whitebeard was battling both Aokiji and Akainu simultaneously.
Tendou Kigen clashed with Kizaru.
Although Kizaru's Pika Pika no Mi was fast,
Tendou was no slouch.
She pushed Kizaru back in battle.
The same was true for Asuna's side.
With Takumi's team involved, the Navy was clearly on the back foot.
