178 End of War
"End the war?"
Hearing this, Akainu condensed his gaze, and he spoke in a deep, stern tone: "Whitebeard, do you know that it is because of the existence of a villain like you that the world is in chaos and that so many families are facing the danger of death!'"
"You wicked person, why don't you just die!"
"Why!?"
In the end, he nearly screamed.
In his opinion, the reason why world wars are frequent and the reason why there are so many pirates in the sea.
Whitebeard and others are to blame for this.
Without these people, the world would certainly be more peaceful.
"Guurarara~"
"Magma boy, while I take responsibility for the world's chaos, it's not all my fault; but it lies with the World Government and Celestial Dragons!"
"The system from eight hundred years ago has long crumbled, and that's the root cause of all this chaos!"
Whitebeard said with a calm smile.
He was the one who truly kicked off the second era of great pirates.
But he is only the promoter of the era, not the creator of the era!
The man responsible for creating this era isn't him, nor Roger, nor the thousands of pirates, but the corrupt system.
As long as Celestial Dragons keep oppressing the people all around the world, so does the World Government.
This world will see more eras of great pirates - the third, fourth, and fifth. The pirates era will never end until the corrupt system and Celestial Dragons are no more!
"Ridiculous!"
Akainu shouted.
In fact, he had long been aware of the World Government's corruption and the oppression by the Celestial Dragons, and he understood it better than anyone.
However, he chose to become an Admiral and Fleet Admiral, essentially aligning himself with the World Government
So he would never acknowledge this matter.
"Magma boy, you, who carried the name of justice, are just helping the corrupt system. Your tolerance allows Celestial Dragons to act without consequences."
"So I'm not the one causing this era to be in chaos."
"But... it is you!!"
Whitebeard growled.
With those words, he raised his arms.
Then he reached out into the air, as if he had captured something.
Click, click, click~
The air shattered, forming cracks.
The rift expanded, growing wider and wider, until it swept across the entire island.
Onigashima Island was already heavily damaged and was further battered by shockwaves, eventually sinking.
"Is Whitebeard trying to burry us in the sea?"
Momousagi's face turned grim.
"At this moment, we should make a temporary retreat
Kizaru suggested, casting a quick glance at Akainu.
Of the five, Kaido and Golden Lion can both fly, so they're not afraid of the island sinking.
But the other three are not the same.
Without the ability to fly, they'll be in trouble when the island sinks.
"Humph!"
"Let's make a temporary retreat!"
Akainu said, wearing a grim expression but not refusing to retreat.
Because he also encountered similar things during the Summit War of Marineford .
If it weren't for the timely Marine rescue, he would have been the first Marine Admiral to die by drowning. With that in mind, he turned and departed.
"Trying to run?"
Whitebeard's eyes glinted as he raised his arm.
With a single grip, the air in the distance instantly crumbled, and the shockwave surged like a tidal wave.
"What?"
Akainu, who had just turned around, witnessed the scene.
"Awakening!"
"This is the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's awakening. Whitebeard can create vibrations anywhere!"
Momousagi's expression grew serious.
"Golden Lion, get us out of here!"
Kaido urged him, then turned into a giant dragon and wanted to escape.
"Damn it!"
Golden Lion snorted with irritation.
There's no doubt that they lost this war.
The defeat of this war basically announced the failure of his plan to dominate the world, leaving him deeply frustrated.
However, although he couldn't accept it and didn't dare to stay after losing his arm.
He shot straight upward, attempting to escape.
"Kaido kid, Golden Lion, you stay here!"
Whitebeard laughed.
He scratched the air once more.
A shockwave emerged from the sky and collided with the two.
Upon witnessing the vibration, they both tried to lift themselves off the ground but ended up falling back, unable to escape.
"Whitebeard, are you trying to die with us?"
Kaido shouted.
The vibration power used by Whitebeard is completely different from the previous one.
Before, the shockwave was expanding, but now it's drawing in.
Whitebeard is like a magnet, pulling in vibration from all directions.
Therefore, the surrounding area of Onigashima Island was shaking, preventing them from fleeing.
"Dying together?"
Whitebeard smiled calmly. "The only ones staying and dying here are you!"
As he spoke, the sound of breaking waves echoed in the distance.
Everyone became alarmed and glanced around.
They spotted a huge whale-shaped ship approaching in the distant waters, and it was none other than the Moby Dick!
Even though the Pirate Alliance joined forces with the Marines, their overall strength didn't increase much.
After all, their high-end combat power has come to the island of Onigashima, and the ones left on the warships are all Vice Admiral.
And what about the Whitebeard Pirates?
Whitebeard is alone on the island!
Admiral-level individuals like Aokiji and Issho are all aboard the Moby Dick.
So, the alliance between the Marines and the Pirates didn't change much, except for temporarily delaying the Whitebeard Pirates.
When the Whitebeard Pirates defeated the coalition forces, they immediately approached the island.
So there is the present scene.
"Guurarara~"
"My sons, victory in this battle belongs to the Whitebeard Pirates. Let's sail on with this grand victory!"
Whitebeard laughed aloud.
He flew high as he spoke, simultaneously raising his fist in the air.
Boom!
A deafening explosion rang out.
The tremendous shockwave erupted in full force, causing the waves from all around to surge, rapidly inundating the island.
"Whitebeard!"
The expressions of several individuals on the island changed dramatically, and they were filled with anger.
Despite their anger, they had to retreat as the surging sea waves approached to bury them.
And thus, a weird scene appeared.
The former world-famous Admirals and Four emperors were now embarrassed, frantically evading the waves with panicked expressions.
"Guurarara~"
"Magma boy, Kaido, hope you can survive!"
At this moment, Whitebeard was already on the Moby Dick, standing at the bow and laughing.
"Whitebeard!"
Akainu roared loudly, his anger reaching its peak.
It was a failure!
He failed once again!
It's just like the Summit War and the Festival Island War.
Even when he called upon marines mightiest forces and allied with other pirates, he couldn't defeat Whitebeard and, instead, allowed his opponent to depart unharmed.
One can imagine what kind of shock this news will cause.
Marine's reputation might take another hit!
