214 Prideless Victory

"What in the world? Whitebeard probably stirred up all this trouble" 

Red-Haired Shanks seemed a bit at a loss seeing the huge wave.

Even though he didn't witness the culprit behind the massive waves, Whitebeard must be the one with the frightening power to create such a spectacle, he thought.

Others could do it too, but Whitebeard has the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, making it really easy for him to create such massive waves.

"Captain, it's coming."

Benn Beckman next to Shanks suddenly pointed out.

Shanks stood at the front of the Red Force, his pirate ship.

His eyes narrowed, gripping the sword in his right hand, a strong Haki emanating from his body, blending with his long sword, Griffon

Red-Haired Shanks lifted his head to confront the massive wave approaching within ten meters.

He swiftly slashed a sharp sword energy from the air to the ground, creating a powerful slashing force in the form of sword slash.

With this swing, Griffon surged both vertically and horizontally, carving a several feet long gash into the enormous wave before him.

Shanks' ship and the others sailed through the cut without being affected by the massive waves.

Only after the massive waves rolled a certain distance did things slowly return to normal. By then, the crisis between Shanks and the Marines had also subsided.

The three Marine Vice Admirals breathed a sigh of relief and expressed their gratitude to Shanks..

Without Shanks, they feared they would have faced significant trouble from the impact of the massive wave.

"See how they're doing." 

After the crisis, Shanks shifted his focus to Whitebeard and Garp.

He noticed that Whitebeard's pirates were also gradually being affected by the massive waves, but they didn't have time to arrange all the ships into a solid formation.

Whitebeard's four ships were in disarray, but he still pulled out his Naginata, just like Shanks did

He swung a massive sword slash to cut through the giant waves and then used the vibrating force to deflect the part of the waves about to hit him.

Whitebeard shook vigorously, pushing back a portion of the massive wave.

Regarding the waves that were facing four marines warship, they were at a distance due to the progress made by Kizaru and Garp.

However, their endurance didn't last long, and their speed slowed down once again. After all, no matter how strong they are, their physical strength has its limits.

"Garp, I'm running low on strength. The waves are much smaller now. I think we should face them head-on. The two of us can handle it"

Kizaru informed Garp that resisting the massive waves seemed less strenuous than pushing forward with the warships.

Garp glanced at the huge waves and noticed that their impact and speed had indeed lessened, so he nodded in agreement.

"Alright, have all the warships move forward at full speed. We'll stay on the last one to withstand the huge waves"

Garp declared.

Whitebeard quickly noticed the movements of these people. Naturally, he wouldn't let these Marines escape so easily after what they did.

"Hmph, you dare harm my pirate crew. It won't be so easy for you to leave!"

The Marines saw Whitebeard snort coldly and once again employ the vibrating force to create another huge wave.

Then, he started stacking them one after another, piling the massive waves to a height of a hundred meters, and used the force of the earthquake to push them.

The massive wave's speed had significantly increased, and it was about to catch up with the Marine warship shortly.

"No, Whitebeard!" 

Garp exclaimed, realizing he might not be able to stop the inevitable disaster.

To be precise, it was a disaster only for the Marines. 

At this moment, everyone on the Marine warship took cover in the cabin.

They attempted to minimize the damage this way, but it also made everyone understand the extent of Whitebeard's anger.

When the enormous wave approaches, Kizaru can only protect himself. Being a Devil Fruit user, he has no means to rescue others.

Shortly after, the remaining four warships were completely engulfed by the giant waves, leaving Kizaru suspended in the air with nowhere to land.

The warships continued to tumble after being swept in by the massive waves, causing numerous casualties among the soldiers inside.

"Hurry, rescue them! They're in danger" 

Red-Haired Shanks immediately instructed the Vice Admirals of the three warships beside him

They immediately sprang into action upon Red-Haired Shanks' command, with three senior Marines aboard.

If something goes wrong, not only will the Marine headquarters be weakened, but they're also afraid this incident will become a laughingstock in the New World.

"Hurry, faster!" 

The Vice Admirals urged impatiently

As for Whitebeard, he had been observing this spectacle, but he intervened after overturning the four warships.

Whitebeard immediately used the power of the vibration to stop the huge waves, and the sea gradually returned to calm.

However, those warships were completely submerged in the sea. Luckily, the other three were rescued in time, saving many lives.

Garp, Momousagi, and the other Vice Admirals boarded the ship one after another, their entire bodies drenched.

"Damn it, that Whitebeard! I didn't expect him to pull such a stunt!" 

Garp exclaimed, slamming the ground hard after boarding the ship.

"Vice Admiral Garp, it's not the time to discuss this now. Hurry up and help the others" 

Momousagi reminded him.

Currently, Whitebeard seems entirely justified, especially considering they are here to attack him in the first place. It's only natural for Whitebeard to counterattack, isn't it?

If Whitebeard gets really heated, she's afraid that no one present will be able to leave this place alive.

Certainly, Garp understands this, but he still harbors some anger towards Whitebeard in his heart. He didn't anticipate him being so extreme.

"Oyaji, what should we do now?" 

Marco asked Whitebeard, tilting his head and observing the Marines busy rescuing their submerged comrades.

"Let's go, continue our journey"

Whitebeard said casually.

As a result, the Whitebeard Pirates set sail immidietly, bidding farewell to the Red Hair Pirates as they went their separate ways.

Upon leaving again, Whitebeard was in a foul mood, a fact that did not escape Marco's notice.

"Old man, what's wrong? Why don't you seem in a foul mood?" 

Marco asked with concern.

"It's about today's fight, I was really disappointed with all of you"

Whitebeard sighed.

At that moment, the rest of the crew members gathered around Whitebeard, all bowing their heads in shame.

"Oyaji, there were just too many of them" 

Charles Vane tried to explain, but Whitebeard immediately gave him a stern look.

"Don't give me that! They don't have many people at all. We have plenty of commanders, and they only have a few Vice Admirals. Plus, Red Hair also help in to take on some of the Marines"

"But you still got defeated. If you had managed to defeat those Marine officers, I wouldn't have needed to attack Marine at all"

Whitebeard displayed intense anger, and none of the present crew dared to speak up.

"Old man, if it weren't for Garp's sudden interference, we wouldn't have been defeated'

Marco explained. Now, he was the only one brave enough to speak to Whitebeard.
