Marine Headquarters.
Whitebeard shattered the island and blocked himself, Garp, Sengoku, and others.
It was also when Whitebeard fought against two people and fought with Garp and Sengoku again that the grieving Undead Marco and Fire Fist Ace and others began to evacuate.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The earth-shattering roar continued.
At his peak, Whitebeard may be able to fight against two people and block the attacks of Garp and Sengoku, but at this moment, he obviously has no ability to stop the two with his internal injuries acting up.
Under the joint attack of Garp and Sengoku, in just a dozen moves, Whitebeard has been injured all over his body, and his chest was dyed red with blood, but he still stood!
He stopped Garp and Sengoku!
"Damn …"
Sengoku knew Whitebeard's thoughts, but he couldn't get past Whitebeard to chase after Ace and others, because Whitebeard was already fighting at the risk of his life.
Once he tried to get past Whitebeard, Whitebeard would rather bear Garp's attack and block him. This kind of desperate battle made it impossible for him to get past Whitebeard.
Boom! Boom!
As the fierce battle continued, Whitebeard's injuries became more and more serious. He could feel his body beginning to become heavy and his strength gradually weakened.
However, Fire Fist Ace and the others had already retreated far away by now.
"…"
Whitebeard squeezed the Bisento in his hand and was about to release the last blow of his life, but his eyes suddenly flashed and he looked at the rear of the Marine Headquarters.
Marco and others also seemed to notice something at the same time and looked in that direction, and soon they all showed an angry look, clenching their fists and gritting their teeth.
"Teach!!!"
Countless Whitebeard Pirates roared.
Garp, Sengoku, and others also stopped their attacks and looked at the rear of the Marine Headquarters together. They saw Blackbeard walking slowly with the rebellious Shiliew of the Rain and others.
"Ha-ha-ha, it's finally over, Dad."
Blackbeard looked at Whitebeard, opened his hands and smiled.
Whitebeard stared at Blackbeard, and his eyes flashed with anger. His seriously injured body seemed to reignite a little strength because of anger.
He passed Sengoku and Garp and stepped towards Blackbeard.
"…"
Garp and Sengoku didn't stop him.
Blackbeard is now also an enemy. Whitebeard against Blackbeard, they won't stop both sides at the same time, but neither of them left and both stared at Blackbeard's group.
After breaking through Impel Down and finding a large number of powerful companions, the Blackbeard Pirates has obviously become a huge threat!
"Teach!"
Whitebeard roared and attacked Blackbeard.
But his attack was in vain.
If he was in his heyday, he might be able to defeat Blackbeard and other members of the Blackbeard Pirates who have not yet obtained the power of Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) by himself, but with his broken body at the moment, he can no longer defeat the Blackbeard Pirates.
Under the joint attack of the Blackbeard Pirates, Whitebeard's body gradually reached its limit, and his body, driven by his will, finally completely solidified.
At the top of the broken fortress of the Marine Headquarters.
Maple's figure silently stood there. He could have saved Whitebeard, but he simply watched Whitebeard's final battle. He didn't do anything, nor did he show himself.
This is the path chosen by Whitebeard himself. It is the final choice made by a man standing at the top of the sea. Interfering would only be an insult to Whitebeard.
Although Whitebeard's strength is nothing to him, Whitebeard is a character who has reached the top of the world and is also a character recognized by Maple, so he maintains his respect.
Finally.
Whitebeard's breathing stopped completely.
The cries of Marco and others, the noise of the battlefield, and the wild laughter of Blackbeard all became subtle and disappeared one after another.
The world in front of his eyes became blurry, and everything he could see eventually disappeared, turning into a vast expanse of whiteness and an endless world.
This is … …
Is this the world after death?
Whitebeard looked at the vast expanse of white and endless wasteland and muttered. But at the next moment, his gaze suddenly froze.
Because he saw, in the white world, a black spot appeared. It was a figure who seemed to be carrying a pot of wine in his hand and was walking slowly towards this side.
As the figure approached, the appearance gradually became clearer. He was very familiar with this person's appearance. It was a face that was engraved in the depths of his heart — Traveler Maple!
"You … …"
Whitebeard was stunned for a moment.
The first thought that appeared in his mind was' Is Maple also dead? ', but he immediately dispelled it because he knew that there should be no one in this world who could kill Maple.
"This is the last time we drink, Whitebeard."
In the vast white world, Maple walked in front of Whitebeard and sat down. He placed the jug of wine on the side and gently waved his hand.
Silence.
In the white light in front of the two, two huge wine bowls appeared.
When Whitebeard saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment, then slowly sat down. He looked at Maple in front of him and sighed, saying:
"So you really are … a god? Even the world of the dead is … … "
As the strongest person in the world, Whitebeard was very sure that he was already dead, and this should be the world after death, but Maple was still able to come here.
This meant that Maple had the ability to transcend life and death, to stand above life and death. This wasn't something that a human could have, but something that truly belonged to a god.
"If you define it in your way, then I can indeed be counted as a god, but this isn't the world of the dead. This is the crack between life and death."
Maple smiled lightly at Whitebeard.
He picked up the wine jar, filled the two huge wine bowls, then picked up the wine bowl in front of him and said: "Only after drinking this last bowl of wine will you truly go to the world of the dead."
Whitebeard picked up the wine bowl in front of him.
He looked at the clear wine in the bowl, paused for a moment, then suddenly grinned and said: "Gulalala, if I can drink with the gods of this world before I leave, I feel like I have no regrets leaving this trip!"
He had long since noticed that Maple's power was far above his own, and it was difficult for him to see the true limits of Maple's power.
At that time, he also wanted to know the true extent of Maple's power, but Maple didn't tell him. But now, he finally knew.
Above life and death!
Not the false 'God' of the Sky Island, nor the arrogant people of the Tenryubito who call themselves' Gods', but the true God who overlooks the mortal world!
In other words, he didn't lose to humans, but to gods. In fact, he is still the strongest, the strongest among humans.
He no longer has any regrets in his heart.
Gulu Gulu!!
Whitebeard picked up the wine bowl and drank the wine in it freely.
"Then …"
Maple also drank the wine in the bowl, stood up, looked at Whitebeard in front of him and said: "Let's say goodbye here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Ye turned around and walked into the distance. His figure gradually disappeared into the vast white world, and Whitebeard's figure also gradually disappeared.
Whitebeard.
Edward Newgate — had fallen!
