One Piece - I'm Whitebeard

Chapter 474: 475 “Did this guy hide his strength before?”



Kizaru, Fujitora, Ryokugyu, and Akainu all spread out to surround Whitebeard, each using their unique abilities to attack him.

Akainu glanced at Aokiji and, seeing that he hadn't moved, said: "Aokiji, why don't you make a move?"

"Akainu, you've completely betrayed Marine justice. I can't tolerate this any longer," Aokiji said coldly.

"What? You—" Akainu was surprised. He realized that Aokiji had not fully returned to the Marine Corps.

"Hmph, this time, I'll be your opponent," Aokiji said as he suddenly leaped into the air. Akainu quickly moved to block him.

"Damn it…" Although it wasn't surprising that Aokiji was helping Whitebeard again, his blocking Akainu and preventing him from attacking Whitebeard together made the situation worse.

"Hey, I knew Aokiji wouldn't leave the Whitebeard Pirates so easily. It's a good thing he was out of action for a while earlier," Kizaru said.

"Now, it's pointless to argue on that. We're the only ones dealing with Whitebeard, so we must stay alert and not be careless," Ryokugyu added.

As they spoke, Whitebeard suddenly appeared in front of Ryokugyu. No one saw how he moved; he seemed to materialize like a ghost.

"Raizen!" Whitebeard shouted as he unleashed a punch surrounded by thunder and tremor. The powerful blow erupted with immense force and knocked Ryokugyu away.

Ryokugyu fell from the air like a meteor and crashed deeply into the ground.

The powerful vibrations and lightning injured Ryokugyu's internal organs. Blood flowed from his mouth, and his consciousness became hazy, leaving him unable to act.

"When did he move?!" Kizaru was shocked. 

Whitebeard's speed was faster than his light-speed kick. While Kizaru's light form gave people some time to react, Whitebeard moved so quickly that there was no time to react.

"He killed Ryokugyu with one blow…" Akainu, who was facing Aokiji, was horrified. It was only then that he truly realized the terrifying power of Whitebeard.

"Hmph, Soul Tremor!" Whitebeard snorted coldly as he used a combined attack of vibration power and Big Mom's Soul Fruit ability. The mental shockwave was also infused with Conqueror's Haki, greatly enhancing its power.

In an instant, Kizaru and Fujitora lost consciousness from the mental shockwave and fell into a coma. The three Marine Admirals were defeated by Whitebeard in the blink of an eye.

"Did this guy hide his strength before?" Akainu looked at Whitebeard in horror. 

The sheer power was astonishing. If Whitebeard wanted, he could take down everyone on the field, including the Marine Admirals, with a single blow.

However, it was clear that Whitebeard had left Akainu for Aokiji. Whitebeard glanced at Akainu and said to Aokiji, "I'm leaving this one to you. It's my promise, so don't let it slip."

After that, Whitebeard flew towards the battleship. As he approached from the sky, the personnel on the ships opened fire with everything they had, using all their weapons and equipment in a desperate attempt to defend themselves.

The Marine battleships tried to fend off Whitebeard with powerful firepower, but he advanced unharmed through the explosions and smoke. He looked at the battleships with contempt and then raised his hands.

Whitebeard released a powerful shockwave, causing all the battleships to shake. The personnel on the ships felt as if their vessels were unsteady and soon saw on the screens that their flagship was floating.

The sea surged violently, and the battleships began to lift off the water. They floated into the air, rising higher and higher.

Whitebeard's vibration lifted dozens of battleships to an altitude of one kilometer.

At this point, all the battleships stopped attacking Whitebeard. They knew that if he let go, they would all fall and be destroyed.

Whitebeard used his shockwave to project his voice to everyone, saying, "Marines, you've tainted the meaning of justice. However, since you're just following orders, I won't hold it against you."

"Right now, your three Marine Admirals have been defeated, and your Marine Fleet Admiral is just a trapped beast. I hope you all surrender."

"As long as you stop fighting, I'll let you go and won't embarrass you. If you want to remain Marines in the future, that's fine. But for now, everything is in my hands!" 

Whitebeard's final shout shocked all the Marine soldiers. They hesitated no longer and immediately chose to end the conflict.

Whitebeard lowered all the battleships. Luffy and Crocodile then emerged from one of the ships and cheered for Whitebeard.

"Whitebeard-ossan, you're amazing!" Luffy shouted.

"The true king of the sea, Whitebeard!" Crocodile exclaimed.

"So, it's you. What are you doing here?" Whitebeard asked as he approached them.

"We came to see if we could help, but it looks like it was a wasted effort," Crocodile said with an awkward smile.

"Guurarara, you came to help? Interesting," Whitebeard said with a smile. 

"But it's okay now. Luffy, continue your voyage. As for you, Crocodile, would you like to be my son and join me in this sea?"

Hearing this, Luffy replied casually, "Since you're all right, I'll set sail with my friends. Grandpa Whitebeard, we'll see you again."

After Luffy left, Crocodile immediately replied: "I am willing to follow you!"

Almost no one can refuse Whitebeard's invitation in person. His charisma is so overwhelming that people instinctively agree to his requests without thinking.

That said, Crocodile was already willing to follow Whitebeard, so now it's just a matter of joining him.

After Crocodile agreed, Whitebeard smiled and said, "Good, but first, let's deal with the current problem."
