The sea breeze swept over the icy island.
The cold island has added a bit of coolness to the already cold breeze.
Ross was floating in the sky, his tattered cape quivering slightly in the wind. His figure looked a little funny, but no one laughed at him.
"Unfortunately I wouldn't have been able to fight against you twenty years ago."
Ross looked at Whitebeard below him with calm eyes.
If it was Whitebeard twenty years ago, the outcome of this battle would have been unknown no matter how much time passed, but it is Whitebeard now and unless Whitebeard does something else, this Battle will continue and his chances of winning will be lower and lower until they reached zero.
No one can stand on top forever.
Whitebeard knew very well that he couldn't always be the strongest, and sooner or later someone would replace his existence.
But this Battle is not over yet.
Without any sense of discouragement because of the injury, Whitebeard's eyes are always like a pair of a cold glacier.
He folded his fingers together and made a fist, and punched out.
All at once.
Bang!
Ross raised his hand and pressed it down and the power of distortion swinging away, blocking Whitebeard's punch.
His eyes were silent and he entered the Battle state again. His figure flashed and came to the right side of Whitebeard. He slashed Whitebeard with his sword.
Whitebeard waved his Bisento to block Ross's sword and he began to fight again with Ross.
But.
It was different from the beginning.
Ever since that blow, Whitebeard fell into a disadvantageous position and was injured, each of these attacks created quivers on the hearts of Marco, Jozu, and others, making their hearts sink straight to the bottom of the sea.
Everyone is unwilling to accept or even think about it, but no matter how you look at it, unless Whitebeard can regain his youth and time can go backward, the result of this battle is clear to everyone!
"Gotta help Father …"
Marco resisted the heavy gravity pressing on him and wrapped himself in blue flames, and gritted his teeth and punched Fujitora continuously.
He began to do his best to storm out, trying to break through Fujitora's blockade.
Qing! Qing!
Fujitora waved his stick blade and after blocking Marco's several attacks in succession, he slammed his backhand and broke out with a terrifying gravity, which collapsed on Marco's body and the blue flames collapsed.
After the blue flames disintegrated, they quickly converged on the sky more than ten meters away and turned into the form of a Pheonix. Once the wings flew, it was necessary to charge into Whitebeard.
But.
Almost at this time, Fujitora also came into the air, holding his sword in his hand, his body was steady as he stood in front of Marco.
"Get the fuck out of my way!"
Marco gritted his teeth and rushed forward.
Fujitora slashed out, forcing Marco back to the ground.
"You should be very clear that speaking here is superfluous. In any case, it is impossible for you to pass …"
Marco gritted his teeth, knowing that it was difficult to get around Fujitora but he still relied on his Pheonix form fire and tried to fend Fujitora against the outbreak of frightening death.
In the face of Marco's fierce and deadly attack, Fujitora's face was slightly grave. Instead of fighting with him, Fujitora brandished his staff and blade to fight with him and retreated from time to time.
It seems that he was attacked by Marco and fell into a disadvantageous position that could only be paraded, but in fact, he stopped Marco in his place, leaving him no chance to pass. Even with the body of a Pheonix, Marco could not get around him!
Bang!
Ross and Whitebeard fought again and Whitebeard backs up again.
"Father!"
Jozu screamed angrily and slammed forward, knocking Shiliew of the Rain away for a few meters, trying to charge into Ross' direction to support Whitebeard.
Shiliew snorted and the blade in his hand waved, the power of frost spread and the ice at Jozu's feet suddenly skyrocketed, freezing his lower body.
Kāchā! Kāchā!
Jozu struggled to break free.
Shiliew swung out his sword and chopped it on Jozu's back, and Jozu's body flew out. There was also a scar on his back!
In the case of frontal resistance, relying on the defense of the diamond and his strong Armament Haki, Jozu was able to block Shiliew's attack, but it is obviously impossible if he wants to resist Shiliew's sword without any damage to his back.
"Damn It!"
Thatch, holding a long sword in one hand and a short sword in another was also trying to support Whitebeard, but he could only defend against Ficheux Erman's attacks.
"You are getting distracted."
Ficheux Erman opened his mouth and his figure suddenly came to Thatch's side and he kicked at Thatch's waist.
Although Thatch instantly attached Armament Haki to his waist, he was still kicked by Ficheux Erman, and he still flew out. He was severely hit and his face turned white, and the corner of his mouth overflowed with blood.
Bang!
Ross slashed out and Whitebeard backed up again.
"Father!"
Vista couldn't keep calm anymore, he gritted his teeth and tried to charge into Whitebeard.
But with a flash of thunder, a terrifying Thunder Giant, hundred of meters tall and gleaming white, came in front of him.
This is Hajrudin's strongest form. Thunder incarnation at 300 million volts is an enhanced version of 200 million volts. His whole body is surrounded by terrifying thunder power and every one of his moves can burst out with terrifying power of thunder.
Bang!
Hajrudin punched out and a terrifying thunder current burst suddenly and enveloped Vista.
Vista waved his sword through the thundering stream and Hajrudin yelled again, the thunder turned into a beast, swallowing at him.
On the entire battlefield, no matter whether it is the top-ranked Captain or the bottom-ranked Captain, no one can support Whitebeard.
And.
Except for the top-ranked Captains, such as Vista, Captain from the sixth position onward, even if they can support Whitebeard, it will not play any role at all.
With Ross' current strength, even if they can block the aftermath of his attacks, they can't stop Ross's frontal attacks and they will be killed immediately!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The fight continues.
Almost a day and a night have passed since the fight between the two Yonko's had broken out.
Whitebeard's naked upper body showed a variety of bruises and sprains attacked by power of distortion, and even blood stains cut by the blade.
Ross stood on the opposite side, his lower half of the black cape was almost completely broken, and now it is covered on Ross' body like a shawl. In addition, there were no scars on his body!
It wasn't that he had fully recovered from his injury with his ability to recover, but it is that in the fight till now, Ross had not been wounded by Whitebeard!
He is faster than Whitebeard. His Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki is capable of Future Prediction, and the power of distortion is also able to positively block Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi)'s abilities. It is impossible for him to get injured!
Over time.
The Battle that had been locked in a deadlock changed as the entire Whitebeard Pirate regiment began to fall into a huge disadvantageous position because of Whitebeard's unfavorable position.
The Whitebeard Pirates are centered on Whitebeard. When Whitebeard's fight is extremely unfavorable, almost no one can calmly go to Battle!
In comparison.
The Ghost Hand Pirates have high morale, countless people are surging forward while roaring and shouting ceaselessly, their momentum is surging.
Their boss, their Captain, Ghost Hand Ross, one of Yonkō (Four Emperors), Ross, who is still less than 30 years old, has suppressed Whitebeard, the world's strongest man!
The strongest!
Ross is the Strongest!
Some people's hearts are surging, and countless people are shouting in their hearts.
Before the Great Age of Pirates, it was Whitebeard, one of the three legends of the Sea. He took the position of the world's strongest and right now, he is finally going to be replaced by the latecomers!
The replacement will be their Captain, the boss of Totto Land, Ghost Hand Ross.
This battle will be written into the annals of history, and they are writing new history in a stroke!
Time goes by.
The sky went through the day and fell into the night. On this frozen ice island frozen by Shiliew of the Rain, and from time to time, thunder and all kinds of light were mapped by the ice.
When Whitebeard fell into a disadvantageous situation, the situation of the Whitebeard Pirates gradually collapsed, but because it was the edge of Whitebeard's territorial sea, the support of the Whitebeard Pirates was fast, and nearly twenty Whitebeard subordinates pirate groups arrived one after another.
In comparison.
On the side of the Ghost Hand Pirates, the Support Unit has only four ships.
With large-scale support, the Whitebeard Pirates barely stabilized the situation, but only barely.
Because.
In the middle of the battlefield, Ross and Whitebeard still fought and no one can intervene in their battle. No matter what tactics the Whitebeard Pirates uses, it is difficult to support Whitebeard.
With Ross and Whitebeard at full blast, unless you're a top-five Captain, you're not qualified to support them, you won't even get close enough to the area where Ross and Whitebeard are fighting.
Bang! Bang!
The Whitebeard Pirates used strange abilities to interfere with Ross remotely, but those inexplicable lights, cannonballs, and other attacks stopped ten meters away in the air before they could get close and they were distorted and shaken. The aftermath of the earthquake and Distortion shattered them.
"Distortion, Frozen!"
Ross whispered as he used Gravity Distortion and the ice crumbled into countless pieces, freezing Whitebeard in it.
Kāchā!
Cracks appeared on the ice that covered Whitebeard.
Whitebeard broke free from the ice seal but was attacked by Ross's sword.
The character at the level of Whitebeard, even if the overall strength of Ross has a point better than him, it is still impossible for Ross to defeat him in a short time, he could only continue to expand their fight time and take advantage of his mistakes.
Time goes by.
Whitebeard's stamina is obviously not as strong as it was and when the fight lasted for two days and two nights, it has begun to weaken.
In addition, Ross continued to attack without stopping and Whitebeard could not ignore it, leaving many wounds on his body, which looked horrible.
But.
Even if his body was injured, the blood-bearing Whitebeard showed no sign of falling down. He looked like a blood-stained demon. His battle momentum was not weakened, but it was constantly rising.
"That's a little bit like that, Whitebeard …"
Ross attacked Whitebeard and as he looked at his steady and domineering figure, his eyes flickered slightly.
In his memory, Whitebeard suffered countless fatal injuries in the War Of The Best and he was still able to nearly killed Blackbeard. It was very impressive for Ross.
But.
Ross is not afraid because of it.
He just praised Whitebeard's will and power.
For Ross, if your will is strong, then mine is stronger than yours, if your power is strong, then mine is still stronger than yours!
To step on the world!
Bang!
Ross continues to fight Whitebeard.
Although Whitebeard was fighting while bathed in his own blood, all this effort was just his strong will. His aging body could not support such a high-intensity long-term war.
"Father!"
"That bastard …"
The Whitebeard Pirates subordinates were anxious, but they could only watch, it was almost impossible for them to get involved.
The horizon was white, and two days and two nights passed, and the time came to the morning of the third day.
Kāchā!
In the collision between Distortion and the earthquake, the ice surface shattered, Ross leaped and fell behind the broken ice layer and Whitebeard also receded continuously, his chest heaving violently.
Ross has more than a third of his stamina left, and Whitebeard has bottomed his stamina out after suffering a series of setbacks.
On the surface, it seems that Whitebeard's strength has not weakened in any way, but in fact, his body has reached its limit.
It's just that his will is too strong.
"Last attack."
In front of Ross, Cursed Blade Murasame's blade was covered with a faint red glow that dripped to its edge.
He looked at Whitebeard calmly. Instead of rushing in, he recovered and stored his strength in place, intending to decide the victory by one stroke.
No one knows how long Whitebeard's counterintuitive state will last. In this case, a one-shot decision is a right choice.
Whitebeard's chest was heaving violently and he was panting.
He was aware of Ross's intentions and knew that Ross was accumulating his remaining power, intending to make a final blow.
But facing Ross's plan, he couldn't do anything. It was impossible for him to rush and stop Ross.
Are we there yet …
Whitebeard's eyes cocked up slightly, looking behind Ross, or above, at the endless horizon.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Marco and others fighting hard. He saw them frantically trying to rush towards him to support, but they were completely blocked by Fujitora and others.
"I……"
Whitebeard's forehead was stained with sweat and blood and he could feel his body empty and powerless.
His body felt like a block of dry rotted wood, no matter how he squeezed it, it seems difficult to squeeze any vitality.
Whitebeard's gaze fell on Ross.
What kind of look is that? Words cannot be used to describe it, it is full of domineering, calm, hesitant, disobedient …
He was not dissatisfied with Ross, but he dissatisfied with how he had struggled with age, time, and the world and the sea!
No.
Even if he falls, it is definitely not here.
Whitebeard withdrew his strength and looked at Marco and others. At this moment, it seemed as if all of their convictions had been brought together.
In that withered body, a sudden power came from sources unknown. This power is surging as if it could break everything!
Goo!
The muscles on Whitebeard's arm were tense as his arms clenched tightly at Bisento's handle, and his power surged wildly.
Opposite him, the strength in Ross' body continued to flow like a tide, and eventually converged into an overflowing pond.
"Come on!"
A sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Whitebeard seems to have gained strength by his will again, but all this doesn't matter. At this moment, He has stamina and he has an advantage in all aspects. So what if Whitebeard has some of his strength back again!
If he can't even win against Whitebeard, how would he take this world and overthrow the World Government that has ruled the world for 800 years!
Whiz!
Ross's figure flashed and he charges into Whitebeard.
He held the hilt of his sword in both hands, and the terrifying power of distortion condensed on the sword edge, the power felt as if it could tear the sky, and he waved his sword toward Whitebeard, which was much taller than him.
At the same time, Whitebeard clenched the Bisento in his arms tightly, and there was a flash of unprecedented light in his eyes. There was no roar or scream as he split his Bisento brazenly, wrapped in a shock halo that seemed to be able to break the mountains.
At this moment.
The world seems to be overshadowed!
The world seems to have dimmed, and all the light has come to Ross's sword blade and Whitebeard's Bisento.
Fujitora stopped.
Marco stopped.
Shiliew of the Rain stopped …
On the battlefield, at this moment, almost everyone stopped moving invariably, looking at the battlefield that seemed to become the center of the entire world!
Time seemed to slow down an infinite number of times.
Ross's blade cuts across Void, wrapped in the power of distortion, as if dragged in a heavy quagmire(A soft boggy area of land that gives way underfoot), and Whitebeard's Bisento also cut across space in a half-moon arc and fell heavily.
In the numerous light-gathering spot, Bisento and Cursed Blade Murasame finally collided against each other.
Buzz!!
Almost instantly, shattered traces appeared above the cloudy sky, as if the sky itself was getting torn apart!
This strike is the one that Ross and whitebeard put all their efforts into. They used their ultimate Armament Haki and even the outbreak of Haoshoku Haki, tearing the sky and the earth apart.
Kāchā!
There was a sound like a cracked mirror.
At the collision point between Ross's sword blade and Whitebeard's Bisento, there are clear signs of fragmentation, like a quagmire of space, torn and kneaded like plasticine(A soft modeling material, used especially by children) under the collision of two forces.
"Aaaaargh!
In the wanton outbreak of power, Ross fell in a daze and roars wildly. The power of distortion and Armament Haki intertwined, seemingly reduced to the essence visible to the naked eye, sharpened in Void.
Whitebeard's arm trembled violently, and it was under tremendous pressure as he pressed it down.
Zizi!
Tremor and Distortion, the former is the force that shatters everything, and the latter is the force that destroys all. Both forces are trying to destroy each other in a crazy conflict.
It seemed as if a few seconds had passed, and it seemed as if a long time had passed, that force of constant fierce conflict finally showed a change.
Ross' power of distortion overpowered Whitebeard's tremor force little by little and it also rushed forward little by little.
Finally.
Ross's blade swung hard.
Tang!
A golden iron symphony rang through the battlefield, and Whitebeard's Bisento was swung open by Ross's blade, unable to press down.
The power of Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) was also completely broken by Ross' power of distortion at this moment!
"It's over."
Ross took a deep breath and instead of recovering the Cursed Blade Murasame, which was being shaken by the force of the shock, he let go of his right hand, grabbed it in Void, pulled the scattered power of distortion, and punched Whitebeard on his chest.
Whitebeard's Tremor force was completely broken by Ross and his Bisento was up in the air and his front body was completely defenseless.
Bang!
Ross's fist landed on Whitebeard's chest.
Whitebeard's chest suddenly sagged, and his huge body bent down instantly and like a meteor, he flew backward while blood was spurting from his mouth.
"Father!"
Marco and others watched this scene and they shouted out in horror and anxiety.
Whitebeard's body flew up in the air and crossed the entire battlefield, it flew over a distance of nearly a kilometer and reached the edge of the ice island, and eventually fell on the ice.
At the same time.
The Whitebeard could not hold the Bisento in his hand and it spun out, eventually landing on the ice.
In a continuous clang, the giant Bisento bounced a few times on the ice, and finally stopped.
Great Age of Pirates, Eighteenth Year.
Ghost-hand Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates fought against each other in the Etwall Stuart Potter sea region.
Later generations called it the Battle of Etwall.
In this battle, one of the three legendary pirates who dominated the great pirate age of an era, Whitebeard, Edward Newgate was defeated!
The title of the world's strongest man, from this day on, changed ownership and it no longer belongs to Whitebeard and it belongs to a new legend.
Yonkō (Four Emperors).
Ghost Hand, Ross!
Not far from the ice islands where Ross and Whitebeard were fighting, ten Marine Battleships are watching this scene.
At the forefront of one of the Battleship decks, Aokiji, dressed in the justice clock of Marine, is looking at the ice island.
"Is that, Whitebeard and Ghost Hand …"
"What terrible power."
Kizaru whispered incoherently. This was not a sarcastic joke out of his mouth, but a terrible feeling from his heart!
He could still feel the palpitations he felt by the collision of that power just now.
If he was at the center of that attack.
He would die!
"It looks like it's over, Whitebeard's breath is fading. Ghost hand has won."
Aokiji let out a cold breath and murmured.
He couldn't help but think of the scenes of his first encounter with Ross when he had met Ross on the Florian Triangle sea region as a Marine Admiral, how he had looked down on the Ghost Hand Pirates.
But.
It was in that situation that Ross had saved his crew members such as Laffitte and Law and Robin in a way that he hadn't anticipated.
In a completely unexpected way, Ross awakened the power of his Devil Fruit, and even if Aokiji didn't realize it then, he still tried his best to stop Ross, but Ross escapes through the fog of Florian Triangle sea.
After that.
Ross went to Dressrosa and destroyed Doflamingo and was finally defeated by Marines. He was put in Impel Down, then he escaped and destroyed Impel Down and caused the collapse of the Marine Headquarters …
Which part went wrong?
Aokiji reflected in his heart. If he had taken Ross seriously from the very beginning in the Florian Trianglesea, would there be no Ross now?
But.
There is no if.
Ross now is already one of Yonkō (Four Emperors), and just now, he defeated Whitebeard who dominated the sea for decades, taking the title of the world's strongest for himself.
"It's our turn."
Kizaru didn't think as much as Aokiji thought. After taking a breath, he said in a repressed tone.
Ross defeated Whitebeard and he must only have a little power left in his body and the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates fought hard for so long, they must be at their limit.
Now, even if they fail to completely eliminate the people on the island, they can take down two of the Yonkō (Four Emperors) Pirates and they can even capture or kill one of the Yonkō (Four Emperors) themselves and make their pirate group disappear from this sea!
"Ah, it's our turn."
Aokiji turned back and stared openly in the direction of Ice Island.
At this time, the Battleships were already close to the ice island. When the ice island entered the shelling range, a Vice-Admiral waved his hand.
"Bombard!"
"Destroy the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates!"
Under the order of the Vice-Admiral, the many cannons already prepared on the ten Battleships fired in a volley, firing on the chaotic ice island.
Cannonballs fired by heavy cannons exploded on the ice island. The ice was splattering, and smoke filled the area.
Although the Whitebeard Pirates and the Ghost Hand Pirates are extremely terrifying, all Marines know that the battle between Whitebeard and the Ghost Hand has been going on for almost three days and three nights!
They also have two Admiral teams led by Aokiji and Kizaru, and even two of the most powerful Vice-Admiral, Momousagi and Tokikake.
"Kill all pirates and execute them on the spot!"
A Marine Vice-Admiral drew out his sword and said in a sharp and cold tone.
"Yes!"
During the bombardment, countless Marines responded and they pulled out the standard sword and set foot on the ice island, and swarmed to the battlefield!
Starting from now.
The battlefield is going to be taken over by the Marines!
