Chapter 472: How Strong is the Traveler?
Chapter 472: How Strong is the Traveler?
The intense battle at the Marine Headquarters raged on, growing more fervent as time passed. Nearly all members of Whitebeard's pirate crew were engaged in the fight.
With Luffy and his crew charging into the battlefield, the chaotic clash reached its peak! Due to Feng Ye's slaughter of the Celestial Dragons, their presence was scarce in the Shabondy Archipelago, sparing Luffy's group from any related incidents.
After they had all entered the Grand Line, they learned about Portgas D. Ace and rushed to the Marine Headquarters, finally arriving at the war zone an hour after the battle had commenced.
"Luffy, you brat!"
Garp, standing below the execution platform, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists as he watched Luffy storm into the battlefield.
Luffy's eyes were fixed only on Ace, who was chained to the execution platform, and he fought his way through.
The addition of the Straw Hat Pirates did not significantly alter the landscape of the battle. However, arriving almost simultaneously with them was a squad from the Revolutionary Army!
Led by Sabo, along with the Eastern and Western Army Commanders and the powerful fighting force of Ivankov, the self-proclaimed "Okama King," the Revolutionary Army joined forces with Luffy's crew as they plunged into the heart of the battle!
Similarly, due to Feng Ye's actions, Sabo did not encounter the Celestial Dragons at sea and suffer the fate of having his ship blown up and his memory lost. Nonetheless, he met with the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, and eventually joined their ranks!
"Ace! I'm here to save you!"
Sabo shouted to Ace, who was standing on the execution platform.
"Sabo! Luffy..."
Chained to the execution platform, Ace grit his teeth and called out to Sabo and Luffy, who were forcing their way through to the platform.
After being separated for many years, the three brothers were finally reunited on the battlefield of the Summit War!
Although Ace felt a bit embarrassed about his failure and imprisonment, he was nonetheless overwhelmed with emotion to be reunited with Luffy and Sabo here.
...
"Get out of my way, Kuina!"
"You're not getting past me here!"
Zoro and Kuina clashed in an intense duel.
...
"Bear! You bastard!"
"..."
Ivankov faced off against the tyrant, Bartholomew Kuma.
...
"Move aside!"
"Hahaha, the Revolutionary Army has joined the fray too. This is getting more interesting by the minute."
Sabo confronted Donquixote Doflamingo.
...
With the Revolutionary Army entering the battle, bringing with them their four powerful fighters, along with the escaped pirate, Jinbe, they not only held off the Seven Warlords of the Sea but also managed to stall a substantial portion of the Marine forces!
Fierce battles raged across the other areas of the warzone as well—
Diamond Jozu clashed with Borsalino!
Phoenix Marco faced off against Kizaru!
Fencing Master Vista duelled with Dracule Mihawk!
With the reinforcement of the Revolutionary Army, despite the Whitebeard Pirates still being at a clear disadvantage, they managed to withstand the Marine assault and continued to push towards the execution platform!
"It's finally starting to get a little more interesting," Feng Ye remarked as he watched this scene projected on the screen, taking another sip of wine and letting out a soft laugh.
If the wind he had blown had failed to affect the spinning of the windmills in this world, it would have been a huge disappointment. In reality, however, the impact he had made was undeniable.
"It doesn't look like they'll be losing easily," Rayleigh, the Dark King, mused.
As an entity standing at the pinnacle of the Grand Line, his insight into the situation was clear. At the moment, although the Marines had yet to unleash their full power, with Sengoku and Garp holding back, the same could be said for Whitebeard, who had yet to show his full strength.
While the combined forces of the Whitebeard Pirates and a portion of the Revolutionary Army still fell short of matching the might of the Marine Headquarters, the gap between the two sides had significantly narrowed.
"If it were just this, Whitebeard would be able to win.
If Blackbeard hadn't set his sights on Whitebeard's Tremor Tremor Fruit ability and also attacked the Marine Headquarters, the Marine defense would've undoubtedly crumbled!
The Navy wouldn't be able to withstand the assault of two semi-Yonko level forces!
However, Blackbeard had his eyes set on Whitebeard.
With this certainty, Whitebeard had no chance of victory, for the ten members of the Blackbeard Pirates were a force strong enough to sway the outcome of this war!
"But someone has already set their eyes on Whitebeard's ability."
"...!"
Rayleigh fell silent for a moment, then quickly realized something. He muttered, "That Teach... no, Blackbeard, huh?"
The Whitebeard Pirates often clashed with the Roger Pirates back in the day. Just as Whitebeard had a vague impression of Red Hair and Clown Baggy, he also vaguely remembered Blackbeard Teach.
But what truly made him remember Blackbeard's name was when Blackbeard betrayed Whitebeard, assassinated Thatch of the Whitebeard Pirates' 4th Division, and became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
"Mhm."
Feng Ye nodded slightly and said, "Let's continue watching."
Rayleigh turned back to the screen.
On the screen, the fierce battle at the Marine Headquarters raged on. When a stalemate occurred in various places, Whitebeard finally raised the naginata in his hand and joined the battle!
Due to the absence of Akainu among the Marine Admirals, the Navy's plan to calculate Whitebeard had gone awry from the start—another significant change in history's trajectory due to Feng Ye's influence!
Under the gaze of countless eyes, Whitebeard made his move!
BOOM!!
He gripped the naginata with both hands and swung it fiercely, shattering the air in front of him as if the entire sky had been broken into countless fragments, sending a terrifying shockwave sweeping through the area.
Several Marine Headquarters vice admirals and a large number of soldiers were knocked back by Whitebeard's attack, unable to stop his advance!
Whitebeard, unencumbered by his illness, displayed terrifying strength that shocked everyone!
With every move, the entire Marine Headquarters trembled!
"That's... Whitebeard Edward Newgate..."
"What monstrous strength."
On an island somewhere, the Supernovas Eustass Kid and Hawkins, among others, who were watching the live broadcast of the war at Marineford through the Den Den Mushi, couldn't help but exclaim.
It's worth mentioning that there were only ten Supernovas, excluding Trafalgar Law, who was now a captain of the Wano Country's Oni Patrol.
"What terrifying power, worthy of the man with the title of the world's strongest," the freak monk, Urouge, said with profound eyes.
"It's hard to imagine that a human can possess such power..." Capone Bege muttered, a cigar in his mouth. "Whitebeard's power is already so terrifying. I wonder how strong that man, acknowledged as superior to Whitebeard, truly is."
In these vast seas, Whitebeard stood at the pinnacle. If there was one person acknowledged to surpass Whitebeard, there could only be one.
A Yonko!
The Traveler!
A man acknowledged by the entire sea as more fearsome than Whitebeard!
If Whitebeard's power was already so terrifying that he could seemingly overturn an island with ease, then how terrifying was the strength of Feng Ye, acknowledged as even more formidable than Whitebeard?!
