In sheer disbelief, the remaining Marines stared wide-eyed at the unfolding chaos. Their mouths hung open in astonishment as they observed the island sinking beneath the onslaught of colossal waves that surged from every direction.
In the hearts of every Marine present, a potent cocktail of shock and profound fear took root. The sinking island and the relentless waves planted a deep sense of dread in their souls.
The daunting question surfaced in their minds like an ominous storm cloud: "Do we truly stand a chance against the legendary Whitebeard?"
This thought, like a ghostly specter, crept into the collective psyche of all Marine officers. As it took hold, a palpable wave of fear swept across their faces. Some among the more faint-hearted even dramatically cast aside their weapons, collapsing to their knees in a state of sheer panic.
Overwhelmed by the spectacle before them, they could barely muster the strength to stand, and their trembling lips revealed the depth of their terror.
"How can we possibly stand a chance against such a monstrous force?" one Marine muttered, voicing the collective dread.
"It's over, everything is over!" another despaired.
"Run, run! Escape now, or we'll be swallowed by the sea's depths!" a frightened Marine cried out in desperation.
Their primal instincts screamed at them to escape this nightmarish battleground. In their eyes, facing Whitebeard, even with their vast numbers, seemed like an insurmountable challenge.
Aokiji, renowned as the top Admiral for his strategic brilliance within the Marines, was their best hope. With his ability to freeze the seas and reshape the very land itself, he could potentially shift the tide of this battle.
"Whitebeard, your opponent is me!" Aokiji declared with unwavering resolve.
Just as Whitebeard's earth-shaking punch was about to land, another figure stepped in, intercepting the colossal force with unyielding determination.
Marine hero Garp, whose demeanor had shifted from lightheartedness to utmost seriousness, radiated an even more terrifying aura of Haki. Armament Haki cloaked his arm as he braced for the impending clash.
The deafening BOOM that followed marked the collision of titans, and the fate of Marineford hung in the balance.
The two clashed fist to fist with a resounding impact, as if the very heavens were quaking. Purple lightning crackled through the epicenter of their collision, unleashing turbulent shockwaves that reverberated through the air, rippling outward like a storm of raw power.
And then… the moment of truth arrived.
Garp, the legendary Marine hero, was struck by an immense, formidable force that seemed to surge from the depths of the earth. This kind of power actually gave him an irresistible feeling, a sensation he hadn't experienced in years. His eyes widened in sheer astonishment, and his face was a perfect reflection of the shock that coursed through his entire being.
That's right, he was shocked, and it was a rare sight to behold. In any case, he couldn't comprehend how Whitebeard's strength had surged to such extraordinary heights. Even him, who had crossed fists with Whitebeard in the past, could not resist this colossal surge of power.
BOOM! Power surged forth in a mighty burst, creating a shockwave that shook the very foundation of the battlefield. No matter how formidable Garp was, he couldn't withstand a punch in that double combat power state. The force of that punch engulfed Garp, sending his robust body hurtling like a cannonball, crashing into the ruins with a resounding BOOM!
Smoke and dust billowed, filling the air with a chaotic haze, making it hard to discern what had just occurred. The Marine soldiers and numerous evacuating generals stood frozen, their eyes wide with astonishment and disbelief. It was as if the laws of nature had been rewritten before their very eyes.
Who is Garp, after all? He's the stuff of legends, a name that resonates throughout the Marines. In his youth, he pushed the Pirate King Roger to the brink of desperation multiple times. Yet, in that clash, Whitebeard delivered a devastating punch, sending him soaring through the air! Shocked, panicked, and horrified, the Marines and spectators alike were left in a state of disbelief.
A myriad of emotions surged within the hearts of the Marine soldiers, almost making them shout aloud. A thought emerged in their minds, plunging everyone into despair. Even Garp couldn't match Whitebeard's might. Who else in the Marines can defeat Whitebeard? For a time, the morale of all the Marines crumbled away, and their confidence was even beaten by Whitebeard. It was a moment that would go down in history, forever altering the balance of power in the world of pirates and Marines.
