Terrifying Blow

"Whitebeard, you're finished!" Akainu's voice echoes as he charges forward.

His lone arm erupts with molten lava, shaping into a fiery canine head that crashes down on Whitebeard.

"Inugami Guren!" the attack's intensity distorts the surrounding light, showcasing its incredible power.

"Magma brat," Whitebeard responds with a calm smile.

This time, he doesn't hesitate. With a swift motion, he extends his fingers.

"What's he planning?" onlookers wonder in astonishment.

Whitebeard typically relies on his Tremor-Tremor Fruit abilities, Haki, or his trusty Naginata, but now he seems to be taking a different approach.

"Playing dumb, huh?" Akainu scoffs, increasing his power, intensifying the Inugami Guren.

In a split second, the molten flames surge toward Whitebeard.

Thirty centimeters... Twenty centimeters... Ten centimeters...

As the flames close in to a mere ten centimeters from Whitebeard's arm, a flicker of satisfaction crosses Akainu's face. Even though he's unsure of Whitebeard's strategy, at such a close range, he believes Whitebeard can't dodge his attack.

"Is he done for?" Kizaru and others exchange puzzled glances.

They're perplexed as to why Whitebeard would allow himself to be hit by Akainu's attack.

But just as they question this, Whitebeard's fingers seem to grasp at the air, as if catching hold of something.

Click, click, click...

The air fractures instantly, creating fissures.

The rushing pillar of molten flame suddenly implodes from within, dissipating into mere sparks.

"What?!" Aokiji's expression betrays surprise.

If Whitebeard had merely used his vibrational force to counter the molten lava as usual, Aokiji wouldn't be taken aback. But this time, the tremor's power erupted from within the magma attack itself, catching him off guard.

It's a rare sight, considering Devil Fruit abilities are typically channeled through the user's body before affecting the surroundings.

The principles behind Whitebeard's tremor power remain the same.

He channels it through his dual fists or Naginata, causing phenomena like tsunamis, earthquakes, and shockwaves.

However, this time was different; he seemed to conjure it out of thin air.

There's a fundamental distinction between the two scenarios.

"Too terrifying," remarked someone.

"Creating vibration waves out of thin air is truly chilling," added Kizaru, his peculiar speech laced with a deep sense of awe.

"Could this be a Devil Fruit Awakening?" Vice Admiral Momousagi furrowed her brow.

This transcends the typical capabilities of a fruit ability, enabling it to influence external objects—an achievement only possible through devil fruit awakening.

"A fruit ability awakening?!" Akainu's expression froze in shock.

The joy on his face vanished instantly, replaced by an inexplicable panic in his heart.

Without relying on his Devil Fruit's awakening, Whitebeard could defeat him.

Now, with Whitebeard utilizing his awakened power, the question arose: how much stronger had he become?

The thought emerged, filling Akainu with an unconscious sense of fear.

"Damn it!" Akainu reacted swiftly, anger flashing across his face.

He was startled by his own realization.

This was truly a disgrace.

His fury surged, overwhelming any restraint, and he unleashed the ferocious Dark Hound attack with a resounding roar.

Boom!

A towering pillar of flames erupted.

The intense heat scorched the surroundings, distorting the air.

But just like before, as the molten flames approached Whitebeard, they suddenly exploded.

"How is that possible?!" Akainu's expression froze, disbelief written all over his face.

Instinctively, he took a step back.

He couldn't believe that his attack had proven completely futile.

"As expected, it's awakening!" Kizaru and the others confirmed with conviction, their expressions turning serious.

"Let's all attack him together!" Aokiji commanded sternly.

His body exuded freezing temperatures as he rushed towards Whitebeard with determination.

Click, click, click~

In an instant, a thick layer of ice covered the ground, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet by more than ten degrees.

Without hesitation, Momousagi drew her katana and charged forward.

Shing~

A brilliant slash resembling a galaxy tore through the earth in an instant.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Vice Admiral Chaton unleashed a barrage of powerful gunshots, each coated with advanced armament haki.

"Yasakani no Magatama!"

A golden light flashed over Kizaru's body as he soared into the sky.

He tightly clenched both hands and vigorously waved them.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

Countless golden beams erupted, as dense as heavy rain.

"Guurarara~" Whitebeard laughed in response.

He clenched his fists and crossed them in front of him.

As a barrage of attacks came hurtling toward him, he unleashed a powerful strike with both fists.

BOOM!

The air shattered, releasing a wave of vibrating shockwaves.

But this time, the intensity of the vibrations was different.

Previously, they had surged forth with destructive force.

Now, they spread out like ripples in water. As the shockwaves swept through, boulders were sent soaring into the sky, crumbling into dust.

"Oh no!"

The Admirals' expressions turned grim.

To their astonishment, Whitebeard's techniques proved to be devastatingly effective.

Without a moment's hesitation, they hastily retreated.

BOOM!

At last, the deafening explosion erupted.

Thick smoke billowed into the sky, obscuring everything around.

As the wind picked up, the smoke gradually dissipated, revealing a terrifying sight.

A massive crater had formed around Whitebeard, swallowing everything in its path.

Three Admirals, two Admiral candidates, and many Marine Vice Admirals... all wiped out!

They watched in stunned silence.

Marco and the other division commanders stood frozen in place, their eyes glued to the scene before them.

They were utterly astonished.

In the past, Whitebeard's Tremor-tremor Fruit ability could only crack the ground at best.

But now...

Wherever the vibrations touched, everything simply vanished!

"Has Whitebeard truly awakened his Devil Fruit ability to this extent?" Sengoku muttered, a shiver running down his spine.

With a single blow, he had obliterated everything around him—the ground, even the trademark techniques of the Admirals.

Even Sengoku, the Fleet Admiral of the Marines, was horrified by such raw power, a terrifying display of destruction.

Could this attack completely pulverize a person into nothingness?

"Why does this old man keep getting stronger with age?" Garp mused, his expression one of disbelief.

"Can we really defeat Whitebeard?" the Marine Vice Admirals murmured uncertainly.

His display of power was overwhelming, enough to instill a sense of despair in everyone.

Doubts began to arise about the Marines' chances of victory in this war.

"Oyaji, that's incredible strength!" Marco and the others exclaimed, overwhelmed by the sheer force of Whitebeard's onslaught.

They stood in shock, utterly awestruck by the display of power.
