131 Unstable Factor

Boom! 

Weevil and Aokiji fists collided.

A burst of energy swept around like a storm, and the solid ground crumbled as if it were made of tofu, easily crushed.

After exchanging punches, the two separated.

Then they charged at each other once more, colliding with great force.

"Guurarara~"

"This battle ends now!" 

Whitebeard laughed.

He raised his fist to the side and struck the air.

Boom!

The ear-splitting sound exploded.

A tremendous power burst forth, sweeping like a raging wave.

The two individuals who were about to clash fists narrowed their eyes as they instantly felt the formidable shockwave, forcing them to step back.

Boom! 

A deafening sound rang out.

Dust rose into the sky, covering their figures.

"Whitebeard?!"

Zephyr, who had been observing the battle, noticed Whitebeard for the first time, and his expression suddenly changed: "Not only that, but also the commander and captains of the fleet under Whitebeard?"

After seeing these people, an idea came to his mind.

Is that what Whitebeard wants to do?

Because everyone knows that even though the Whitebeard Pirates have a significant operation, their organization is quite loose.

If it weren't for the Summit War, the fleets would hardly ever gather in one place.

Now that all the captains have gather, 

Doesn't it mean that Whitebeard is preparing for war?

This thought crossed his mind, making him tremble intensely.

"The rumor about Kaido form alliance with Big Mom and Golden Lion to fight Whitebeard appears to be true"

Aokiji's figure emerged from the smoke and dust, earing a cautious expression as he spoke.

Even though there was news before.

But nobody knew for sure if the news was true or not..

After all, no one was certain whether the two sides intended to make a fake conflict to deceive others.

But when he saw Whitebeard and the fleet captains appeared one after another

He understood,

That this wasn't a fake conflict..

There really is an alliance that would fight against Whitebeard!

"If it's true, why did Whitebeard come here? Is it for us?" 

Zephyr frowned.

"I don't know" 

Aokiji replied, shaking his head while remaining vigilant.

Even though he's no longer the Marine Admiral, he has fought against Whitebeard before and is considered a half-enemy.

So he had to be cautious about the current situation.

"How come there are two of me?" 

At that moment, an exclamation rang out.

They saw Weevil staring at Whitebeard blankly while touching his own face. He couldn't tell whether Whitebeard was himself or someone else.

"This guy is Weevil? The one who claims to be Oyaji son?"

Marco looked curiously.

"Can't he distinguish himself from Oyaji?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Jinbei eyes.

"Seems like it" 

Ace nodded in agreement.

"Whitebeard, you don't seem to be taking it easy in your old age, still traveling around with a bunch of 'sons' for some reason" 

"So, what's your purpose in coming here, anyway?"

Zephyr couldn't hold back any longer and ask.

"Guurarara~"

"You old fellow, haven't you figured it out?" 

Whitebeard laughed lightly.

"Really!"

Zephyr's face changed drastically.

He had been wondering whether Whitebeard intended to start a war.

Now that he heard it, he immediately confirmed his suspicions.

"A big war is about to break out in New World, so some unstable factors must be cleaned up before the war starts."

Whitebeard spoke calmly.

Once the Whitebeard Pirates clash with Kaido and the others in battle.

it's bound to be a terrifying battle.

Aokiji and others are all high-end combat power, which can be called an unstable factor.

It's better to solve these unpredictable factors as soon as possible.

and prevent problems during critical moments.

"Uh?" 

Zephyr's face underwent a dramatic change, and then he shouted: "Do it!"

The words were crystal clear, and he couldn't deny that the 'unstable factor' Whitebeard mentioned included both himself and Aokiji.

It's clear that today he must either surrender or face complete annihilation.

His family and disciples were killed by pirates, but he refused to surrender to Whitebeard. If he didn't surrender, he needed to take action immediately.

Flash~

His figure flashed.

Almost instantly closing the distance toward Whitebeard head

The huge mechanical arm swung toward Whitebeard's head with great force.

"Don't do it!" 

Aokiji's expression on the side changed dramatically, and he hadn't expected Zephyr to act so impulsively.

But his warning was clearly too late.

"Guurarara~"

"Zephyr, are you still the same Black Arm Admiral you once were, old and frail as you are now?" 

Whitebeard laughed calmly.

"You old guy, we're the same age, so don't underestimate me!"

Zephyr shouted back.

The mechanical arm produced a violent whooshing sound as it came crashing down with tremendous force.

In response to this punch, Whitebeard didn't dodge; instead, he raised his own fist.

Boom!

Their two punches clash, the big black fist and huge seastone mechanical fist

An ear-splitting sound rang, and the turbulent air wave spread to the surroundings.

Subsequently,

Under the horrified gaze of everyone.

Zephyr's mechanical arm made a crackling sound.

Crack~

Cracks appeared on the sturdy steel mechanical arm before it eventually exploded..

And Whitebeard's punch again

In his state of shock, Zephyr took Whitebeard's punch directly on his body.

A terrible impact surged through his body, and the expression of shock on Zephyr's face rapidly transformed into sheer horror.

Strength!

Unparalleled Strength!

In the face of such overwhelming power, even he, the former Admiral, felt as though he could be beaten to death!

Boom!

The body flew out like a cannonball.

With a loud crash, his body slammed into a building in the small town, causing the building to crumble and raise up clouds of dust.

Aokiji's expression was blank.

Even though he think that his teacher, Zephyr was extremely impulsive.

After all, Zephyr was a former Admiral, so he expected that Zephyr could at least hold his ground. But he truly hadn't expected that Zephyr would be overwhelmed by a punch and left with no means of retaliation.

The shocking scene left a deep impression on him, causing him to let out a sigh.

*Cough, cough~*

A cough rang out.

People were startled and turned their heads to look around.

Zephyr, who had been beaten, climbed out from beneath the pile of rocks. He supported himself with one hand, his body was wounded and blood dripped from the corners of his mouth.

The punch Whitebeard had delivered earlier was a full-powered blow

The old Zephyr had no hope of resisting it.

"How is this possible?!" 

Zephyr disregarded the blood at the corner of his mouth and looked at Whitebeard in astonishment.

Who is he?

Former Marine Admiral – Black Arm Zephyr!

Even in his old age, weakened physically, and missing an arm, he is still better than most people in the New World.

He believed that even if he couldn't match Whitebeard, he could hold his own for a while and then seize an opportunity to escape.

But the result was that he was injured by a couple of punches!

A sense of absurdity surged within his heart, making it hard for him to accept.

He couldn't understand why Whitebeard, who was clearly the same age as him, still possessed such incredible strength.

Not only that, but he also had this level of strength.

He believed that Whitebeard was even stronger than when he was in his youth!
