One Piece - I'm Whitebeard

Inside the battleship, far from the fierce battle outside, the cabin was quiet. However, the people present had gloomy expressions on their faces.

The people here include Marine seniors, Fleet Admiral Akainu, the three Marine Admirals, and the high officer staff involved in the operation.

Akainu is seated in his command position. He has just received news from the raid fleet that they are facing threats from Bubble Fruit and Dark Fruit users.

"Fleet Admiral, we can't delay any longer. Let me support them," Ryokugyu said, taking the initiative.

Akainu agreed without even thinking about it, because he knew that the situation was urgent now and they could no longer hide the existence of Admiral.

However, if a Marine Admiral is exposed, it will attract the attention of the Whitebeard Pirates and make them more vigilant.

After Ryokugyu left, he quickly headed to the target location. 

He knew that countering the power of darkness would likely weaken him.

Therefore, Ryokugyu drew his sword and made a single, powerful slash. The blade gleamed brightly and instantly cut through the huge bubble, causing the battleships to fall one after another.

"Let them go!" 

Ryokugyu shouted as he punched, causing a shockwave to spread through the air. The powerful impact shook all the battleships within a radius of tens of meters.

Although the distance isn't far, it's enough to prevent the warships from falling into the black hole below and being swallowed by it.

"Great, it's Admiral Ryokugyu who made the move," the captain said, a bit surprised.

The support from the Marine Admiral was exceptional, and the Marines were happy. However, Benjamin and Tesla both looked grim.

This Marine Admiral destroyed their carefully prepared strategy as soon as they took action.

This made them very annoyed, but they couldn't attack because they were unable to fight the Marine Admiral.

"It's disappointing that the Marine Admiral showed up now. It seems they really care about this raid force," Tesla said with a hint of regret.

"Just as expected, the Marine Admiral showed up. I bet the other two are also nearby, waiting for the right moment. They must be hiding to deal with the old man," Benjamin said.

As they were talking, Ryokugyu moved directly toward them. The raid troops were now close to the Whitebeard Pirates.

Moreover, Benjamin and Tesla's ships had just moved forward to set a trap. By the time Ryokugyu arrived, he was right in front of them.

"Hehehe, pirates rising star, let me see your strength," Ryokugyu said with a relaxed tone. 

Though he had not been promoted to Marine Admiral for long, his strength is like a monster, and he remained calm like an experienced old man.

Moreover, Ryokugyu is much older than them. Despite their Devil Fruit powers, he didn't take the two young juniors seriously.

The heavy attack created a strong gust of wind, showing its power. 

Ryokugyu was attacking both Tesla and Benjamin simultaneously, and they both felt a powerful sense of oppression.

"Not good!" In an emergency, Tesla quickly created a thin bubble around himself.

However, it was instantly shattered by Ryokugyu's attack, which also forced him back and left him breathless.

Benjamin's physical skills seemed like those of a recruit compared to the Admiral. He had no time or chance to react.

He was about to be hit head-on by Ryokugyu without any defensive measures. 

At the critical moment, Ryokugyu's fist appeared in front of him, and then a wall of ice suddenly appeared.

The ice wall was quickly shattered, but it did weaken the impact. Benjamin was knocked out, and both he and Tesla were left seriously injured.

"It's you!" Ryokugyu said, looking in the other direction. 

It was Aokiji who had arrived. Without Aokiji's ice wall, Ryokugyu was confident he could have killed Benjamin with a single blow.

"Have you inherited Akainu's ferocity?" Aokiji asked lightly.

"Former Marine Admiral Aokiji, I've always wanted to fight you after hearing about your deeds. You betrayed the Marines and joined the pirates. Don't you have any Faith in the Marine cause?" Ryokugyu looked at him and said.

"Faith? Of course I have. But the Marine's sense of justice has deviated, and I can only fix it," Aokiji replied.

"Hehe, you can't hide your sins with your high-minded words," Ryokugyu said, glaring at him with irony.

"The sin is sin, but my target is not you—it's Akainu," Aokiji said, shaking his head and ending the discussion.

"Huh, a mere pirate. If you want to challenge the Fleet Admiral, you'll have to get past me first," 

Ryokugyu said as he attacked. Aokiji also rushed in, and the two quickly engaged in a fierce battle.

The other captains of the Whitebeard Pirates saw what was happening. 

A Marine Admiral had injured two of their core commanders right away, which dampened their spirits.

"Benjamin, Tesla, damn it! The Marine Admiral attacked suddenly. I'll make them pay for this later," Marco yelled while fighting.

"Marco, don't worry about them. Aokiji should handle it. Let's focus on our own tasks first," Jozu reminded, noticing the many underwater machines released from the Marine battleship.

Jozu saw dozens of small, octopus-like machines, each about half a person's size.

He took them very seriously, thinking they might be used to destroy their pirate ship from underwater.

"Marco, what should we do about those octopus machines?" Jozu asked.

"Hmph, they're underestimating us by using these. Enel!" Marco replied, noticing the machines but feeling disdain, and then called out to Enel.

"Don't worry, I saw it," Enel said, having been observing the situation. 

He raised his hand and released a powerful bolt of lightning, which struck the sea and sent a strong current through the water.

The current was extremely strong due to the sea's conductivity. The octopus machines were instantly destroyed by the electric shock and lost all their functions.

"Damn, all our machines are malfunctioning. The other side's lightning is really troublesome," a member of the Marine scientific team said angrily.

Akainu immediately ordered, "All Marine warships, activate your protective shields and launch a full attack."
