Chapter 222: Dangerous Center
The Division Commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates found themselves entangled by the Admirals and Vice Admirals of the Headquarters, outnumbered by the Marines. Unable to stop Akainu’s advance, Whitebeard was left alone, weakened by his serious illness.
Beads of sweat the size of beans formed on his forehead and back. Whitebeard was panting, his vision becoming blurred. Even as the red dog approached, he was powerless to resist.
Akainu stood over the frail Whitebeard, looking down on him with a condescending smile. He mocked Whitebeard, the man who claimed to have the power to destroy heaven and earth, but was now extremely weak.
Akainu believed that by defeating Whitebeard, his subordinates would be nothing more than scattered sand.
The only one among the Whitebeard Pirates with some combat effectiveness was Marco. However, even Marco couldn’t handle multiple Admirals at once.
Akainu declared that the victors of the war would be the Navy, as they were the only force on the Grand Line. He ridiculed Whitebeard, stating that he was nothing more than a king in a garbage dump compared to Roger and the Four Emperors.
Akainu clenched his fist, aiming to execute Whitebeard. But at the last moment, Whitebeard forced his body to act through sheer willpower and dodged the attack. However, he underestimated the power and reach of Akainu’s punch.
The magma brushed past Whitebeard’s head, tearing off half of it. The wound was instantly solidified by the intense heat.
Witnessing this, the Whitebeard Pirates were stunned and petrified. They never expected Akainu to inflict real damage on their revered leader. In contrast, the Marines erupted into cheers, believing that Akainu had dealt a fatal blow.
Sengoku, on the execution stand, held his breath. He never imagined that Akainu would succeed, but he also didn’t anticipate Whitebeard’s serious illness providing an opportunity.
Garp, who had been silent, spoke up, stating that Whitebeard was not an easy opponent to deal with and that his strength rivaled even Roger’s.
Solo, too, observed the situation, realizing that Akainu’s punch had awakened a terrifying aura within Whitebeard. The atmosphere around him became oppressive, sweeping the entire square.
Solo thought to himself that he had disrupted the original plot, unsure if Akainu would be directly defeated by Whitebeard this time.
Despite the danger surrounding Akainu, Garp, and Solo remained on the sidelines, watching the events unfold.
The sense of oppression bearing down on Akainu was unlike anything he had ever felt before.
At that moment, he realized he had angered the one being he should never have provoked.
Garp focused his gaze on the unfolding situation below. He couldn’t accept the notion that Whitebeard, a man he had fought against in his youth, could be defeated so easily. In fact, Whitebeard’s punch had cleared his mind, and a terrifying aura began emanating from him, engulfing the entire inner square of Marineford.
Even from a hundred meters away, anyone could feel the overwhelming and terrifying aura exuding from Whitebeard.
Solo, too, noticed this unexpected turn of events, realizing that his interference had caused the plot to veer off its original course.
He wondered if Akainu would meet his end by being directly struck down by Whitebeard this time.
With a grunt, Akainu found himself in the most perilous situation. The weight of the unprecedented oppression bore down on him, threatening to crush him completely.
