166 166 Very Bad Plan
"It's over, everything is over."
The alliance pirates crew watched this scene, their eyes widened, and there was a look of fear in their eyes.
As they looked at the sinking island, there also massive waves approached from both sides.
Apart from despair, there's nothing but despair in their hearts.
"Can we truly defeat Whitebeard?"
This thought crossed everyone's minds.
The moment this thought arose, fear gripped everyone, and their bodies quivered.
Some of the faint-hearted even dropped their weapons and sank to their knees, unable to muster the strength to stand.
at the same time.
The fear that had been suppressed in people's hearts erupted, no longer containable: "Run, everyone, run as fast as you can!"
"We can't possibly defeat a monster like this; how could we even be his opponents?"
"The huge waves are coming! If we stay here, we'll end up buried under the sea!"
The pirates shouted.
They wanted to escape Onigashima island and avoid clashing with Whitebeard.
For them, Whitebeard, who held the title of the world's strongest man, was an absolute monster. Even with their combined forces, they wouldn't stand a chance against him.
But unfortunately…
They had no place to escape amid the raging waves.
One by one, they slumped to the ground, wearing blank expressions, appearing to surrender their resistance.
"Whitebeard, damn you!"
Kaido seethed with anger.
If Whitebeard's plan succeeds, at least two-thirds of the pirates on the island will suffer casualties.
This is something that neither he, nor Big Mom, and the Golden Lion can tolerate.
Whether they are the Four Emperors or the king of the world, they need a group of formidable subordinates to act as their front line. Without them, they couldn't maintain their status as the Four Emperors.
If the pirates on the island are killed and injured, they'll be left with no one to lead.
Those who only have a few people would not only lose their positions but also face persecution and suppression by the World Government.
"Newgate, why are you so powerful? "
A look of astonishment filled the Golden Lion's eyes.
He is a long-standing rival who has clashed with Whitebeard for many years, and he's well aware of Whitebeard's might.
He believed he understood Whitebeard's strength.
However, as the massive wave approached, he came to realize how wrong his supposed understanding had been.
Observing the waves surging from both sides, even the seasoned pirates of his age felt a bit uneasy, let alone the ordinary pirates.
"Shiki, use your power to lift the island!"
Big Mom shouted.
Although she was angry toward Smoothie and the rest because they disobeyed her orders.
However, these childrens were the pillars of her rule over the New World. If they were all eliminated by Whitebeard, how would she continue to keep her influence over the world?
"Old lady, do you think this is easy!"
Golden Lion snorted, "Whitebeard's power is too much. We can't escape using an island this large to take flight, it will be an easy target, whether you're in the sky or the sea!"
Why is Whitebeard known as the King of the World?
A significant reason is the immense deterrence factor of Whitebeard's abilities.
The vibration wave doesn't discriminate based on its location.
Even if the island is afloat, the force of the vibration can still crush the island in the sky.
"So, what's our plan now?"
Kaido expressed his concern.
He had never felt so frustrated as he did today.
The entire alliance pirate crew had attempted to overwhelm a single opponent, but not only did they fail to defeat him, they were forced to retreat in humiliation after being defeated.
"Allow them to board the ship and send off the crew who can't fly!"
Golden Lion pondered for a moment and suggested.
"What are you waiting for!"
Kaido quickly issued the command, then turned his gaze to the pirates on the island: "Everyone, follow the order. Head straight to the central bay and get on the ship."
Apart from the shores on both sides of the island, there is also a bay directly in front of the island.
Despite the massive waves coming from both sides, the bay remains a safe haven.
As long as the bay remains unaffected, the pirates on the island can board the ships there and then utilize the Golden Lion's float abilities to make their escape.
Upon hearing this, the pirates on the island were instantly filled with enthusiasm.
There was no room for hesitation; they all rushed toward the bay in a frenzy.
In no time, they swarmed onto the ships and turned their gaze to Golden Lion.
"Rise!"
The Golden Lion wasted no time and let out a fierce roar.
As both of his hands made contact with the ship, a massive, towering vessel suddenly ascended into the sky.
"It's flying, it's actually flying!"
"We can escape this island without having to face our death buried in the sea with the island."
"Thanks to Admiral Golden Lion! Long live Admiral Golden Lion!"
The pirates on the ship cheered and shed tears of joy.
"Don't get too happy yet. The battle isn't finished; the Whitebeard Pirates are still there, waiting for us to handle them!"
The Golden Lion shouted.
"Yes, Admiral Golden Lion!"
The pirates on the ship responded.
For them, as long as they weren't up against Whitebeard, it is not a problem.
After all, even though Marco and the others were powerful, they were still within the human realm, unlike Whitebeard, who was as fearsome as a monster.
"Get away from here!"
The Golden Lion waved his hand, and the enormous ship set off
"Guurarara~"
"Golden Lion, you want them to leave, but have you asked me if I agree?"
Whitebeard laughed at this.
Without any hesitation, he raised his fist and slammed it heavily into the air.
Boom!
A tremendous vibration erupted, sweeping through like a raging wave.
The massive ship flying in the air immediately trembled, and the railings developed cracks, appearing as if they could shatter at any moment.
"Whitebeard is doing it again!"
The pirates on the ship yelled in terror, clutching their heads, each one in a state of panic.
"Damn it!"
Kaido grumbled, and then transformed into the dragon form, releasing a burst of hot breath.
"Newgate, die for me!"
Big Mom shouted sharply.
With a sweeping motion of her arm, a purple thunderbolt struck from the air, as if attempting to counter Whitebeard's assault.
"Go!"
Seizing the chance, Golden Lion also waved his arms.
The speed of the enormous ship suddenly increased, and it swiftly vanished from view in no time.
As the massive ship departed, only four individuals remained on the devastated Onigashima island.
Kaido, Golden Lion, and Big Mom looked at each other and immediately surrounded Whitebeard.
"Now that everyone who was in the way is gone, Whitebeard is about to experience my fury!"
Big Mom stated coldly.
"Don't be careless!"
Kaido snorted coldly.
From the recent battle, he had come to understand that Whitebeard's power had reached an extraordinary level.
Even if the three of them joined forces, victory was far from guaranteed.
"Stop hesitating, let's attack him together!"
Unable to contain himself, the Golden Lion attacked Whitebeard with a low growl.
The final battle finally began.

TO BE CONTINUE
Note: the title refers to earlier command from Kaido to surround Whitebeard, that's they want to exhaust Whitebeard in all vs one. But our Oyaji here has another gift for that
