Chapter 218: The Dumbfounded Aokiji
“Solo, even blocked Whitebeard’s attack?”
Smoker and Tashigi quickly evacuated to the inner square of Marineford, but at this moment, their minds were left blank.
Just the fact that Solo had defeated Hawkeye Mihawk had already shocked them endlessly.
However, what they never imagined, even in their wildest dreams, was that even Whitebeard, known as the strongest man in the world couldn’t defeat Solo either.
And this was the situation after Solo consecutively battled against Vista, Little Oars Jr., Mihawk, Jimbei, and Diamond Jozu.
“Clearly, the battle has been ongoing continuously. How does Solo still have physical strength?” Smoker gasped.
Each of these individuals is one of the strongest in the sea, with their strength far surpassing his own. Even if Solo can defeat them, there will surely be a price to pay.
But who could have guessed that Solo would remain as strong as an ordinary person, still retaining enough physical strength even when facing Whitebeard’s wrath? The most terrifying thing was that he actually blocked the shockwave caused by Whitebeard. It’s incredible, simply incredible.
Tashigi, standing by his side, was equally dumbfounded. “Mr. Solo, are you really that strong?” she muttered, recalling their encounter in Loguetown when Solo’s swordsmanship seemed inferior to her own.
But how much time had passed since then? Solo now had the power to face Whitebeard, and it was simply unbelievable.
“Solo now has the strength of a Vice Admiral, right?” Smoker said, retreating to Tashigi’s side and unable to hide his astonishment.
In his opinion, Solo’s strength far exceeded his previous understanding. If he hadn’t witnessed it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it. Solo’s power was truly terrifying.
Smoker even began to doubt the truth of what happened in Loguetown. Could Perona’s Devil Fruit ability truly be the key to defeating Shiki? Back then, he believed it, considering Shiki’s power and how he challenged the entire Marineford.
Even with Solo’s growth, Smoker couldn’t imagine him being the opponent of Shiki. But now, his confidence was shaken. Solo could easily block the air shock caused by Whitebeard, and defeating the Golden Lion Shiki didn’t seem impossible. In Smoker’s eyes, Solo was even stronger than Shiki.
Upon hearing Smoker’s words, both Tashigi and Smoker turned to look at him. They, too, found Solo’s incredible strength to be quite bewildering. It was as if they never truly knew Solo. But they were not the only ones shocked by his power.
Perona and Robin wore expressions of utter disbelief. They had always known Solo was strong, but they never imagined him to be this strong.
“Couldn’t even Whitebeard be Solo’s opponent?” Perona wondered aloud, considering a possibility that had crossed her mind—that the current Solo had surpassed Whitebeard in strength.
Robin, although she had never seen Whitebeard before, had heard numerous rumors about his power. Logically, even the Marine Headquarters feared Whitebeard’s strength, as evidenced by their efforts to confront the Whitebeard Pirates.
Was it possible that Solo was stronger than Whitebeard? It seemed impossible, but Robin couldn’t bring herself to voice her doubts. The thought lingered in her mind, creating a tingling sensation.
In the sky above, Aokiji used moon steps to reach a high position, looking down upon the battle scene in Marineford. The collision between Solo and Whitebeard shattered his ice abilities, and the fragments were swallowed by the sea. The lake returned to its previous state, leaving countless marine officers and pirates in disarray, having fallen into the water.
However, what truly shocked Aokiji was Solo’s ability to block Whitebeard’s shockwave. Even witnessing it firsthand, he found it hard to believe.
“Whitebeard’s attack is no small matter; I would have to give it my all to withstand it,” Aokiji muttered to himself.
When he saw Whitebeard make his move, he had been worried about Solo’s safety and rushed over to help, but he was too far away to intervene in time. Aokiji now regarded Solo with great caution, considering that his true strength might surpass that of a vice admiral and even touch the threshold of an admiral. But the idea of a young marine officer reaching the level of an Admiral seemed implausible. Aokiji couldn’t help but feel inadequate when comparing himself to Solo.
“Solo, you’re too terrifying,” Aokiji thought, feeling a sense of relief that Solo was not a pirate.
Preventing him from rescuing Ace would have come at a painful cost. Aokiji considered himself fortunate to have discovered Solo before Akainu did. If Akainu had arrived first, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
However, unbeknownst to Aokiji, Akainu himself was fixated on Solo, staring at him in disbelief.
