Chapter 188 - 188. Besieged! (1/2)
Whitebeard moved!
Seeing that huge form jump down every marine felt an inexplicable thump in their c.h.e.s.t.
Bang!
The ice cracked when Whitebeard landed.
A pair of cold arrogant eyes focused on the scaffold.
Sengoku's face was solemn. He knew the terror this man represented.
What's happening? Whitebeard is in a far better condition than we thought!
Sengoku couldn't figure out what was happening.
Raising his bisento Whitebeard pointed it at the scaffold.
Whoooooaaaa!!!
Whitebeard pirates raised their swords in cheer and advanced bravely.
”Fire!”
A vice admiral gave command.
Several canons were instantly focused on Whitebeard and fired.
Hmph!
Whitebeard snorted and punched.
The air cracked. The canon ball flying towards him slow down and was shot back with double the speed.
Sengoku turned back to a marine and asked, ”Are we not ready yet?!”
The marine saluted and said with panic, ”The ice is thicker than we thought, we need time Fleet Admiral!”
Sengoku calmed down. In a war not everything goes according to plan.
”Move! I will buy you some time!”
A Giant vice admiral rushed towards the Whitebeard Pirates.
”It's vice admiral John Giant!”
The marines cheered.
The Giant vice admiral pushed through the pirates.
Soon he reached Whitebeard and swung his huge sword down.
Tiing!!!
What?!
The Giant was stunned. Looking at the ease at which Whitebeard blocked his strike shocked his heart.
”You're blocking my view. Move it.”
Tiing!
Whitebeard pushed the giant sword away. He let go of his bisento and grabbed the air before pulling it down.
Vooomm!
The earth shook and trembled.
The marines, the pirates, everyone lost their ground and fell down.
”The sea is...
”I can't believe it...
”Not just the island but the entire sea is... tilting!”
Whitebeard shifted the entire world. This is the power of the world's strongest man!
The sea raged as tides rose and fell. The island looked as if it would sink at any moment.
Leo's pupils shrunk when he witnessed this scene. This was the first time he was seeing such an apocalyptic scene.
When everything settled down the marines were shocked and scared at what they saw.
The fortress was damaged! Marineford, built with the strongest materials and kairoseki was damaged!
A large part of it was in ruins.
”What deadly power!”
The Giant vice admiral was in awe of what happened.
However as a marine he couldn't let Whitebeard advance. He raised fist.
Whitebeard turned his eyes over to the Giant and jumped up.
When he was on eye level with the Giant, he punched.
The air cracked like glass and shattered.
Guhah!
The Giant coughed out blood and was pushed back. His eyes rolled to the back of his head and he fell down.
It didn't end there.
The aftershock from that strike went past the Giant.
”It's going for the scaffold!”
”Continue and destroy it!”
Boom!
It struck the scaffold. Rubble flew everywhere.
The pirates were looking expectantly. However when the dust cleared the scaffold was still standing.
Beneath it were the three Admirals. All of them had their hands raised.
”The Admirals!”
”They blocked pop's shockwave!”
Aokiji said, ”This happened because the walls didn't raise.”
Akainu retorted, ”Your damn ice is blocking the way!”
Kisaru tilted his head and said lazily, ”Sakazuki, can't you just melt it?”
Sengoku frowned, ”Is it not done yet?”
A marine replied, ”I'm afraid...
Sengoku cut him off and said, ”Divert power from the city and pass it to the walls!”
”Yes, sir!”
The marine saluted and ran off.
Luffy was running towards Ace.
”Ace!”
He yelled and stretched out his hands. Grabbing the bay walls he propelled himself upwards.
Suddenly the ground shook.
The ice broke away and steel walls popped up.
Luffy was thrown off and fell on ice.
”What's that?”
The steel walls continued to rise. It stopped when it rose several meters above the bay.
The pirates were trapped inside the crescent bay!
”Dammit!”
Some of them fired at the walls but it hardly left a mark.
Just as they were wondering what to do thick dark barrels came out of the gaps from the steel walls.
”Shit!”
”Take cover!”
As they were running back one of them stopped and looked over in a direction.
”That's...
Sengoku asked a marine, ”What's wrong? It should be fully activated!”
