The Path of the Great Sovereign 191 Just a Farce

'This wind.'

The breeze that was blowing was gentle, like the normal oceanic breeze. However, the effects of the wind did not miss Whitebeard's eyes.

'The Wind is preventing injuries from being fatal, saving the lives of many Marines and Pirates.'

Whitebeard looked up at the Man tapping his finger on the armrest of his seat, he was the last Admiral Seated and he did not look keen on joining this battle until absolutely necessary. Even Sengoku was forced into action due to the unexpected power the Whitebeard pirates have at their disposal. So the picture looked odd as an Admiral remained idle as the Fleet Admiral was on the offensive. Yet even Sengoku noticed that Tatsuo's contribution is one of the Highest present.

As the Battle progressed Whitebeard had all Pirates below division commander pull out as this battle has not reached the climax just yet.

'If that man becomes serious even if he doesn't want to cause unnecessary deaths who knows what could happen. A shockwave could kill thousands not even speaking of the attack itself.'

So different from the Original the Whitebeard Pirates were holding their own against the Vice-Admirals, 3 of the Admirals, and the Fleet Admiral. This battle was being projected across the world as everyone looked at the two figures that were seated stand at the same time.

Tatsuo took his Admiral's coat and Tossed it into the Chair as he flew into the air above the battlefield.

Whitebeard leaped and his large 21-foot frame crossed a great distance until he arrived across from Tatsuo.

The two looked comedic as one stood many times taller than the other but everyone noticed the serious look on Whitebeards face and backed away slowly as this would be a battle far far beyond them.

The first attack happened in a blink of an eye as Whitebeard swung his weapon and like before it was countered by a Haki infused hand by Tatsuo.

*BOOM*

The Shockwave kicked up the dust and Debris which remained scattered across Marineford due to the previous battles, the ocean tossed and turned as the heavens were cleared.

Pushing his hand forward Tatsuo disrupted Whitebeards balance to create distance between the two.

"HO?! You've gotten faster, and you also seem a bit younger? How did you manage?'

Not even oscar level actors could have bullshitted so well as even Whitebeard was taken aback and felt he may have confused the Admiral with someone else for a moment. Yet it clicked into his head Quickly as he too joined Tatsuo on the level of Oscar Level actors.

"The Sea is full of wonders no? I just got a bit lucky."

Everyone was convinced by their actions but only Whitebeard was a bit stifled.

'Only a bit faster to him? Well then again this is the man that controls the very winds, so my speed can indeed just be considered a bit faster from before when compared to him. But that strength, when my blade came down I was sure he would have to use far more effort to stop it but, just like last time he did so effortlessly. He only commented on my speed but never my strength just like before.'

Whitebeard reached back and punched the air with more force than he ever did before. The Air cracked so bad it looked as if shattered the world itself. Yet when he looked up at Tatsuo he noticed him unperturbed.

Tatsuo clapped causing a shockwave with such severe vibrations it felt as if it was the end of the world everyone but whitebeard panicked.

'His mastery over Wind is so high not even sound is not outside of his field of knowledge. The sound Vibrations canceled out my Quake.'

Everyone in the world watched on as this battle of Titans continued after their initial Clash. Akainu who was on the sidelines fighting Against Division commander Juzo, looked at the two figures one big and one small as just the shockwaves from their fight destroyed the Isle and Marineford as a whole.

'Monsters.'

Yet despite the seemingly intense fight, the two were having a conversation.

"Have you killed Linlin?"

"No, I just weakened her power a bit. We Need Ace to finish his training first before I kill her."

Tatsuo and Whitebeard punched out at the same time the power of the Gura Gura no mi and the Kaze Kaze no mi clashed ripping the island in half.

"What of Ace?"

"He's training on the Conomi Islands, in a year ill turn him into someone worthy to be called Roger's Son. The one up on that execution platform is just a decoy created by my subordinates Utsusu Utsusu no mi (Copy Copy Fruit), he will die here so no worries about him leaking detail of the plan. What about you? Have you found proof of all Kaido's misdeeds?"

Their Haki infused Fists clashed again and again as the winds raged and the air cracked. Their fight resembled a natural disaster as no other force could interfere.

"I have but you are waiting for your Other Nephew to grow first huh?"

"He will replace Kaido."

As their conversation drew to a close Tatsuo increased his power and so did Whitebeard. And during that Battle Akainu put his fist through "Ace's" chest.

"YOU DARE"

Brushed passed Tatsuo and punched Akainu with a Haki infused fist along with the full brunt of the Gura Gura no mi. The Admiral's body curved in an unnatural direction before his head left his shoulders like a watermelon which was smashed.
