174 ‘If you want my head, come at me together!’

"Has the Marine finally arrived?" 

Kaido, who was down on the ground, heaved a sigh of relief.

"So scary~"

"To see Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, in such a pitiful state, it's truly terrifying~"

Kizaru cast a quick glance and noticed Kaido lying on the ground, a hint of a smile crossing his lips.

"This guy just keeps getting stronger!" 

Momousagi looked at Whitebeard seriously.

She was promoted to Admiral after the Festival Island war due to her exceptional strength, and the fact that Issho became a pirate.

This time, she came to encircle Whitebeard with the goals of proving herself.

However, no one could have anticipated encountering such a terrifying scene as soon as she arrived.

Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, was brutally beaten?

"Useless pirates!" 

Akainu snorted with disdain.

"Curse you, Marines!" 

Hearing the three of them taunting him like that, Kaido reacted, his face contorted with anger.

But he quickly reined in his anger.

He knew that if he wanted to defeat Whitebeard, he had to utilize the might of the Marines.

It's not the right time to confront the Marines.

After the Whitebeard Pirates are eliminated, it won't be too late to launch an attack on the Marines.

"Are they all here?" 

Whitebeard cast a quick glance around.

"Whitebeard!"

"Today, the Marines and the Pirates unite with one goal: to kill you. There's no escaping this!"

A gleam of satisfaction crossed Akainu's face.

If there's anyone in the Marines who despises Whitebeard the most, it's undoubtedly him.

That's because Whitebeard not only severed his arm but also made him lose face during the Festival Island war.

He was determined to settle these two grudges.

"Jieehahaha ~"

"Hey, Akainu, quit wasting time, let's get on with it!" 

Golden Lion, hovering in the sky, urged.

"Go on!" 

Momousagi shot a quick glance at Akainu and Kizaru beside her, then swiftly drew her katana.

With a powerful swing of her arm, a flying slash cut down!

Zhiing!

A soaring slash ascended into the sky!

With a force that seemed capable of ripping the world apart, it charged toward Whitebeard.

In an instant, the earth was cleaved in two.

"Guurarara~"

"If you want my head, come at me together!" 

Whitebeard roared with laughter.

He raised his arm and struck the air with a powerful punch just as the slash approached.

Boom! 

The air exploded.

Cracks extended, and the vibrations rippled outward.

Then, with everyone's eyes fixed on it, the shockwave collided head-on with the awe-inspiring slash.

The formidable slash that had torn through the earth was instantly shattered, reduced to fragments of light that faded away.

at the same time.

The shockwave kept surging forward.

The immense power of the vibration caused the ground stones to crumble, reducing them to dust.

Momousagi frowned, raised her sword, and intercepted the attack.

Clang! 

The sound of metal colliding rang out.

The powerful impact made her arm tremble.

Her tall figure was repeatedly pushed back, but she managed to stop the onslaught with all her might.

"The strength of this guy is still incredibly powerful!" 

Momousagi remarked, her expression serious.

She found that in just half a month, Whitebeard appeared to have grown even more powerful.

"Don't underestimate him~"

"The individual standing before us is the strongest man in the world!" 

Kizaru reminds her, with his slow words.

"Yes!" 

Momousagi drew a deep breath and pushed down the weight on her shoulder about the situation

Then...she raised her katana!

Zhhing!

Her slender arms swung and slashed down

The sword's gleam burst forth like starlight, slicing through all obstructions, and surged toward Whitebeard.

The power of this sword strike is twice as frightening as the previous one.

The solid ground was not only swept away but also crumbled into dust, dispersing into the air.

"Let's attack him together!"

Akainu growled deeply, and his molten arm burst forth, taking the form of a dog's head: "Die, Whitebeard!"

The molten flames erupted violently, and their extreme heat caused the air to warp and distort.

Inugami Guren!

Seeing this, Kizaru also leaped up to reach the top of Whitebeard's head.

With a squeeze of both hands, golden light emerged.

"Yasakani no Magatama!

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

Countless balls of light appeared, falling in an overwhelming manner.

"Jieehahaha ~"

"Whitebeard, with five of us ganging up on you, you won't escape from this island!" 

Golden Lion laughed maniacally.

He raised his right foot and brought it down with great force.

Lion Cut!

Stabbed~

A colossal slash ripped through the world, creating a vacuum as it sliced through the air.

"Whitebeard!"

Kaido growled.

His body trembled and transformed into a giant dragon.

With his mouth wide open, he spewed out searing heat as if he aimed to obliterate his enemies in a single strike.

Bolo Breath!

"Guurarara~"

"Let's all go in together!" 

Whitebeard roared with laughter.

In the past, he wouldn't have stood a chance against so many opponents.

But things have changed now!

Not only is his body at its peak, but his fruit abilities have reached their awakening.

With the peak-level Observation Haki and the monstrous body brought from the cards, his strength has undergone a significant transformation.

So, even when facing a five-person siege, he's confident he can hold his ground.

After these words, he forcefully raised his naginata.

Stabbed~ 

The sharp light cut through and clashed with Momousagi's slash.

The two clashed, and sparks flew.

Witnessing this, Whitebeard swiftly rushed forward and reached Momousagi in the blink of an eye, his fist tightly clenched.

"How come!" 

A look of dread crossed Momousagi's face.

But after all, being an Admiral-level master, she reacted instantly, raised her katana, and defended against the oncoming attack.

Boom! 

The fist collided with the katana.

Momousagi's arms trembled, and her feet lost their grip on the ground, sending her flying.

Having dealt with one group's onslaught, Whitebeard didn't stop.

He turned around abruptly, conjuring a light ball

Boom! 

The fist slammed down.

The cracks spread, obliterating Akainu's and the others' attack, and billowing thick smoke.

With just two punches! 

He effortlessly obliterated the combined assault of the five opponents.

Momousagi stopped, her gaze fixed on Whitebeard. Besides shock, there was no other emotion on her face.

"Whitebeard!"

Akainu clenched his fist tightly.

Even if he hates Whitebeard, he has to acknowledge one thing in this moment.

That Whitebeard's strength is beyond imagination, and even if the five of them combine their forces, they might not be able to defeat the man before them!

"So terrifying~"

"Looks like it's going to be another tough battle~" 

Kizaru remarked slowly.

Compared to the others, he appeared completely calm.

Because, regardless of Whitebeard's strength, Kizaru's role was simply to make a move.

As long as Whitebeard didn't pose a direct threat to his own life, Kizaru had no intention of going all out or fighting with desperation.

"I hope the ultimate victory will be ours!" 

Momousagi took a deep breath.

For some reason, she had a premonition.

She felt that even if the five of them joined forces this time, they might not be able to defeat Whitebeard!

Note: What about Momousagi premonition, will it be true?
