The navy was stunned. Cold sweat rolled down Fleet Admiral Sengoku's forehead.
"He got this close without us noticing?!"
Whitebeard's face was calm, almost relaxed."Hold on, Ace. Pops is coming to save you!"
Ace's eyes welled with tears, guilt twisting in his chest. "Pops!!!"
His cry split the sky, echoing in the ears of every Whitebeard pirate.
Seeing Ace's expression, full of shame and regret, Whitebeard's deep voice rumbled:"It was me who sent you after Blackbeard.Isn't that right, Marco?"
Marco's tone was steady, unshaken."Yeah. You've been through hell, Ace… but we're not letting a single bastard who hurt you walk away."
Whitebeard laid his enormous naginata aside, crossing his massive arms before his chest. An overwhelming aura exploded outward.
Behind him, the Whitebeard Pirates' banners whipped violently in the wind. With a thunderous roar, his colossal fists slammed into the empty air—space itself cracked like shattered glass!
Jagged fractures spiderwebbed across the sky, and the whole of Marineford trembled violently. The sea tilted and heaved as if the world itself might split in half.
"The air—he split the air itself!!!""What was that explosion?!"
The ocean surged upward in towering waves, spiraling into waterspouts that blotted out the horizon.
Sengoku's face went pale. "A seaquake! He actually shook the ocean itself!"
The gathered marines stood frozen in disbelief. Whitebeard and his division commanders only smiled grimly, watching the chaos unfold.
A monstrous tsunami roared straight toward Marineford.
"We may have the advantage in numbers," Sengoku said with deadly seriousness, "but against that man… we could still lose. He holds the very power to destroy the world."
The waves crashed closer, curling in from every direction to engulf the navy.
"What terrifying power… no wonder he's called a living legend."
Fear spread across the faces of countless marines. Then, in an instant, Admiral Aokiji leapt into the air. Frost radiated from his body, the temperature plummeting all around him.
Glacial energy surged through his hands, two lines of ice streaking forward. The instant they touched the tsunami, the towering walls of water froze solid, spreading a sheet of ice across the bay.
"Ice Age!!!"
Before the stunned eyes of the marines, the raging ocean froze into an endless frozen plain.
Whitebeard only chuckled. "So it's you, Aokiji… brat."
"Ice Lance Spears!!!"
A dozen deadly icicles materialized and launched at Whitebeard like missiles.
But Whitebeard only shifted his stance, swinging one titanic fist. The air cracked again, space itself fracturing under the impact.
The ice spears shattered instantly, reduced to glittering shards. The shockwave sent Aokiji hurtling across the frozen battlefield. He slammed into an ice wall and coughed up blood.
Gasps echoed through the ranks of the navy."He… he knocked back an admiral with a single strike?! What kind of monster IS he?!"
In the World of One Piece
"Whitebeard, Ace's old man… he's a monster!" Luffy's eyes bulged in shock. "One punch made a tsunami, and another just smashed an admiral!"
"Whitebeard might be Ace's dad," Luffy clenched his fists, "but I'm still gonna beat him someday. I'll be the Pirate King!"
Usopp and Nami could only gape in horror. "So this is the power of a Yonko?!""It's insane… so strong it's terrifying!"
Zoro's gaze sharpened, eyes narrowing."A monster. Even stronger than Mihawk…? If Luffy's going to be King of the Pirates, and I'm his first mate, then I've got to surpass even monsters like that."
Back at Marineford
"Whitebeard… after all these years, his strength is more terrifying than ever. Truly the world's strongest man."
Sweat poured down Sengoku's face."But even so—the justice of the navy will never be trampled. Even if it costs me my life."
On the execution platform, Admiral Kizaru clicked his tongue as he watched."Goodness, goodness… what a frightening sight."
In the World of Naruto
"What kind of chakra nature is that?!" The Third Hokage frowned, baffled by the sight. "To shake the sea itself…"
Orochimaru licked his lips hungrily. "One punch that shatters oceans… fascinating. I like it."
Naruto's jaw dropped. "Every enemy on this multiverse list just keeps getting stronger and scarier!"
Even Kurama, inside him, shuddered. "That punch… stronger than my Tailed Beast Bomb. The beings of that world are terrifying indeed."
Meanwhile, Aokiji's body froze into the ice itself, his power spreading outward until the entire bay was sealed in frost. Ships locked in place, unable to move. The battlefield was now a frozen arena—no escape, only a fight to the death.
Marine morale spiked."We have the Admirals on our side! There's nothing to fear!"
Cannons roared as marines unleashed fire on the Moby Dick. Whitebeard's commanders and crews leapt ashore, charging headlong into battle.
The clash began in earnest—navy against Whitebeard's pirates.
Vice Admirals surged forward to join the fight.
The war had truly begun.
Mihawk, the world's greatest swordsman, stepped forward, hand resting on the hilt of Yoru.
The crowd stirred.
"Well now," Kizaru muttered, "this is rare… even he's making a move."
Akainu's brows furrowed. "That self-serving hawk-eyed bastard actually intends to fight?"
Doflamingo's grin twitched. "Even you're getting serious?"
Mihawk's eyes gleamed, razor sharp. "I only want to measure the distance between us—between myself, and that man."
Boa Hancock's gaze softened on Mihawk. "Even the strongest quake at his glare… but not you, Hawk Eyes. Truly fitting of your name."
Flower Sword Vista's eyes lit up. "I've long wanted to cross blades with him. Every swordsman dreams of testing himself against the greatest. It's instinct."
Mihawk drew Yoru, the massive black blade glowing with a lethal aura that rippled through the air. A surge of emerald sword energy erupted, tearing across the frozen battlefield straight toward Whitebeard.
The devastating slash carved the world green, splitting everything in its path to dust.
All eyes locked on that unstoppable sword aura. Even hardened warriors dared not stand in its way.
It was about to strike Whitebeard—
In the World of Dragon Ball
In the afterlife, Vegeta's eyes widened as he watched."So other worlds have their own monsters… one punch to quake the sea, one sword to split it apart. Hmph. I'd like to test my strength against them. Wonder if Kakarot's watching this?"
On Namek, Goku trembled with excitement."So strong! I wanna fight them so bad!"
Frieza only laughed coldly."Son Goku, you should worry about yourself. But perhaps someday, I'll conquer that world as well. Whitebeard, Mihawk… they'd make fine servants of mine."
Goku clenched his fists, glaring fiercely."Frieza… just wait. When this multiverse list is done, I'll show you what I can really do!"
"..."
