One Piece - I'm Whitebeard

Akainu, Kizaru, Fujitora, Kaido, Big Mom, Jack, Quinn, and King surrounded Whitebeard, all focusing their attention on him.

Especially Kaido, who, along with Big Mom, had escaped from prison. Their hatred for Whitebeard had grown a lot. The Tobi Roppo he brought with him had all been killed in the explosion's impact.

The remaining five Tobi Roppo members were severely injured or dead. Though not as strong as the Three Calamities, they were still valuable fighters. 

Their loss was a significant blow to Kaido, who felt the loss keenly given the time and effort he had invested in their training.

"It doesn't matter. Once we defeat Whitebeard, I can take his territory and recruit new talents to build even larger pirates," Kaido reassured himself.

"Guurarara, so many of you, yet none of you dare to attack first?" Whitebeard laughed. Surrounded by powerful enemies, he found it amusing that despite their fierce resentment, none had the courage to make the first move.

"Hmph, Kaido, you attack first. We'll cover you," Akainu grunted at Whitebeard before ordering Kaido and Big Mom to move.

Akainu's condescending tone irritated Kaido and Big Mom. Despite their cooperation agreement, they weren't part of the Marine government and didn't appreciate being ordered around.

"Why should we go first? Do you want to use us as cannon fodder?" Kaido retorted sarcastically.

"You! This is a critical moment. If you don't follow my lead, everyone will pay the price," Akainu snapped, frustrated.

"Hmph, enough of this nonsense. Even if we trust you, you're not capable of making a plan that can defeat Whitebeard. We'll fight on our own," Kaido said dismissively.

"This guy…Damn it!" Akainu clenched his fists, cursing Kaido silently.

"Guurarara! It looks like there's some discord among you. Honestly, if all of you powerful folks worked together perfectly, it might give me some real trouble. I'd actually be worried if you could pull that off," Whitebeard laughed.

"Whitebeard, don't be too proud—today's the day you die!" A voice echoed from afar as two figures slowly came into view.

When Whitebeard saw one of the figures, his face showed surprise, because one of them was Kuzan!

"Kuzan? That's strange. How could he be with Marine's forces? Is he here to fight me?" Whitebeard wondered.

Kuzan and Ryokugyu soon joined everyone, adding to the siege of Whitebeard. Ryokugyu was the one who had spoken earlier.

"Kuzan, long time no see. Welcome back to Marine." 

After Akainu saw Kuzan appear here, he understood that Ryokugyu had successfully persuaded him to back become Marines, and immediately responded with a friendly smile.

"Well, I hope everyone will get what they want in the end." Kuzan nodded and said lightly.

"Haha, Kuzan, you are back to Marine again, this is great, now there are two more Admiral, can't this lineup still beat Whitebeard?" Kizaru was also excited.

"It's wonderful to have four Admirals in Marine now," Fujitora added.

"Woororororo, Whitebeard, I didn't expect your subordinates to betray you again. It reminds me of when you were attacked by your own men during the Summit War" Kaido couldn't help laughing.

"Mama Mamaaa, Yes, Whitebeard, your 'sons' always betray you at critical moments," Big Mom also sneered at Whitebeard.

With the addition of two new Admirals, everyone felt more secure, so Kaido and Big Mom boldly taunted Whitebeard, as if they were finally getting their revenge.

Whitebeard's attention remained fixed on Kuzan. He ignored the others and wondered why Kuzan had betrayed him. Despite everything, Whitebeard still had faith in Kuzan.

Kuzan didn't look like someone controlled by Marine. He seemed normal and calm. Whitebeard, who trusted Kuzan, thought hard and concluded that Kuzan's betrayal was intentional.

Whitebeard realized Kuzan might have pretended to join Marine to find an opportunity to confront Akainu. Whitebeard knew Kuzan had always wanted to settle things with Akainu.

"Kuzan, Kuzan, you went through all this to remind me to leave Akainu to you. It seems you truly trust me and don't worry about my judgment," Whitebeard said, shaking his head, acknowledging Kuzan's complete trust.

Since Kuzan trusts him so much, Whitebeard is determined not to let that trust go to waste. He will cooperate with Kuzan and let him handle Akainu to resolve their conflict.

"Guurararara, Kuzan, I didn't expect you to betray me after all I've done for you." Whitebeard laughed, then spoke to Kuzan with a cold expression.

"I have always been from Marine. I'm sorry, we can only be enemies." Kuzan said lightly.

"Hahaha, Whitebeard, you're really pathetic. Kuzan, you've done well. After we eliminate Whitebeard, you'll be honored as a hero of the Marine, just like Garp," Akainu mocked Whitebeard and praised Kuzan.

"After all this talk, we still haven't started fighting. I'll take the lead," Ryokugyu said, losing interest in the conversation. He had never fought Whitebeard before and was eager to fight now.

As a strong warrior, Ryokugyu was eager to fight someone stronger than himself. He charged at Whitebeard, showcasing his raw, powerful strength and straightforward fighting style.

"This guy, he's really impatient," Akainu thought, but he saw it as a positive thing. Someone needed to take the lead.

"Huh, someone who hasn't fought Whitebeard before is really reckless," Kaido thought.

However, as soon as Ryokugyu attacked, the others joined in, and the situation quickly became chaotic.
