"Squard…"

Whitebeard looked at his son, who lay in the magma, with a face full of sorrow. The next moment, a brutal, fierce, inhuman aura suddenly rose from him.

The body that had been pierced twice slowly stood up, glaring with eyes that seemed ready to devour anyone in sight, staring fiercely ahead.

"Marine!!!"

"Return my son's life to me!!!"

"Have you finally reached this point, Newgate!" 

On the platform, Sengoku looked at him with a hint of nostalgia and then waved his hand.

"Go ahead, send Whitebeard on his final journey."

Even a dying beast would struggle, let alone a human.

"Understood!" 

Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!

With a command, three figures swiftly moved forward, quickly surrounding Whitebeard, forming a circle around him alongside Akainu and Rowen.

These five were… 

"Akainu" Sakazuki, "Aokiji" Kuzan, "Kizaru" Borsalino, "Soryu (Azure Dragon)" Rowen, and "Fujitora" Issho.

To ensure the extermination of Whitebeard in his returning light state, the Marines had indeed brought out their strongest lineup for a five-on-one confrontation.

This lineup was worthy of Whitebeard's title as the "Strongest Man In The World." 

It was also a battle that could hardly ever be replicated!

"Turn on the live broadcast! Let the world see the fate of those who stand against the Marines and the government!" 

Sengoku issued a cold command, then turned to the elderly figure sitting cross-legged beside him and asked,

"Are you sure you won't join us, Garp?" 

Originally, the plan included Garp's participation in the siege against Whitebeard.

But Garp had refused.

For the first time in his life, he had completely defied orders.

"Forget it! Give me a chance to quietly accompany him on his final journey." 

Garp shook his head, looking toward Ace on the execution platform not far away.

"…Alright." 

Sengoku fell silent for a moment before nodding.

...

"Who's coming first?" 

Standing around Whitebeard, Rowen rested the thunder halberd on his shoulder and raised an eyebrow.

"..." 

Fujitora shook his head in response, merely drawing his sword and preparing silently.

Mihawk was different from Whitebeard. For Mihawk, Fujitora could say he was giving him one last chance, but with Whitebeard, he knew it was pointless to say anything.

To send him off on his last journey was the best way to respect him.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's move!" 

Akainu, with the worst temper, bellowed. Lava surged and transformed into a fiery Iron Fist, launching an immediate attack.

''Ryusei Kazan - Meteor Volcano!''

"Asshole!" 

Marco stood up, noticing this scene, biting his lip until it bled. 

Just as he was about to rush in, Whitebeard suddenly spoke calmly: "Marco, as your Captain, I entrust you with one last mission."

"Oyaji…?!" 

Turning back in disbelief, Marco stared into Whitebeard's eyes, then lowered his head a moment later.

"I understand." 

Taking a deep breath, Whitebeard raised his naginata as boundless vibrations enveloped the blade's edge, ruthlessly swinging it toward the sky.

At the same time, his voice echoed throughout Marineford.

"Whitebeard Pirates, retreat!!!"

"Everyone, you must live and return! I will hold them off for you!!!"

As this declaration of defeat resounded, the live broadcast channel reopened, and in an instant, those outside who were anxiously awaiting the restoration of the broadcast stopped their actions.

They all stared blankly at the screen, their expressions difficult to describe, focusing on Whitebeard surrounded by that magnificent lineup.

What's going on?

The Whitebeard Pirates… lost? 

What exactly happened?! 

Just like the reactions from the outside, many pirates felt that the war had just begun; why retreat now?

What about Ace? 

Aren't they going to save him?! 

However, looking at the five notorious monsters surrounding Whitebeard, and that aged, blood-soaked body, the pirates fell silent.

There was a situation that was hard for them to accept… 

That was. 

Their invincible father in their hearts, the Strongest Man In The World Whitebeard, was going to lose!

So he was using his last bit of strength to cover their escape. 

After saying that, Whitebeard didn't care what the pirates' reactions would be, turning to look at the execution platform and laughing. 

"Gūlālālālālālā! One cannot defy age; even such a sneak attack can't be avoided." 

"Ace, you won't blame your old man for being useless, will you?" 

"How… is that possible…" 

Ace trembled as he responded, quickly lifting his head to meet Whitebeard's gaze with eyes filled with fiery tears. 

"To be your son is the greatest honor of my life!" 

"Oh, is that so? Then… that's enough!" 

Bang!!!

With a turn of his body, Whitebeard struck out a punch, sending Rowen flying out from his electrical state with a shockwave of white light. 

"Puh… Cough Cough!" 

Rowen crashed heavily to the ground, clutching his left arm, which was healing from a smashed fracture, gasping in pain. 

Yet, the corner of his mouth lifted in a smile. 

"To destroy something, first drive it mad." 

"Whitebeard, you are too arrogant!" 

Even with one resisting five, he still wanted to prevent each of them from eliminating the pirates; this was not something that could be done by trading injuries— it could only be exchanged with lives. 

"Very well!" 

"Let us send you off on your final journey!" 

With Rowen testing the waters, the remaining four no longer considered leaving and all charged forward, pouncing on Whitebeard. 

Only by swiftly eliminating Whitebeard could they maximize the chances of preventing the pirates from escaping. 

''Skyquake!!'

' 

Pulling back his fist to deflect Akainu's Meigo - Nether Hound, Whitebeard's face twisted in rage as he endured the stabbing pain of an ice blade penetrating his body, freezing the flesh around his waist, and retaliated with a sweeping strike. 

Clang!! 

Fujitora held his sword with both hands, blocking the naginata, but was pushed back a hundred meters. 

However, at that moment, a hazy purple wave of light erupted, seizing the opportunity to entangle the naginata. 

''Gravity Blade · Hell's Gate!'' 

Bang…! 

A terrifying weight bore down on Whitebeard, ripping apart the white coat on his back with the sound of "Chī La." 

At the same time, Kizaru flashed in front of Whitebeard, lifting his right leg high, casually saying his catchphrase. 

"Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?" 

''Lightspeed Kick!'' 

A zero-distance attack from the Lightspeed Kick was something even Rowen couldn't avoid. 

The explosive flames engulfed Whitebeard, turning his body blackened, like a withered corpse with rotting skin, emitting a foul smell of flesh. 

''Heaven-resisting Thunder Cry · Third Style!'' 

''Cloud Dragon Kill!'' 

As the others dodged the explosion's aftermath, Rowen charged forward instead, holding the thunder halberd, like a yellow dragon emerging from the sea, stirring up a heaven-alarming thunderstorm. 

Sizzle…!!!

The thunder halberd plunged into the flames, but the expected tearing sound did not occur. Instead, a piercing wail filled the air, the sharp screech of metal scraping against metal jarring to the ears. 

With a slight frown, Rowen quickly flipped over in place, narrowly avoiding Whitebeard's incoming naginata strike. 

Suddenly, his pupils constricted, and he shouted loudly. 

"Not good!" 

''Earthquake · Avalanche Chop!'' 

The naginata, enveloped in endless white light, was pulled back at an angle. Whitebeard, under the continuous barrage of attacks, seemed to enter a mode of invincibility, ignoring the damage and launching a counterattack. 

In his attack range, Rowen sensed that all five of them were within it! 

Bang!!! 

The naginata struck the ground heavily, creating a straight line, and the rocky mud layers exploded in an instant. 

Marineford was sliced off like a piece of cake by this blow, crashing into the sea. 

No one expected Whitebeard could launch such a fierce counterattack under these circumstances. Rowen, who took the brunt of the attack, was directly cut in half and sent flying backward. 

Following that, a tremendous wave of Tremor power surged out, knocking the remaining four away in sequence. 

"Puh!" 

Even if the strongest slash was blocked by the "Undying Vice Admiral" Rowen, but the subsequent shockwave, along with Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki), crashed into the four of them, injuring them severely as they spat blood and fell to the ground. 

"Cough Cough! Whitebeard, no wonder he is called the Strongest Man In The World!" 

Fujitora drove his staff into the ground, dragging it along for dozens of meters to finally come to a stop. 

Looking up, he noticed the three admirals, who were not skilled in physical combat, were in a worse state than he was, having been propelled nearly a hundred meters before regaining control of their bodies. 

However, because they possessed the damage reduction effect of Elementalization, they only took the brunt of the first wave of initial impact; the second wave of tremors was instinctively avoided by all three activating their full-body Elementalization. 

So in terms of injuries, Fujitora was the most severely wounded. 

No, wait! 

Fujitora's heart trembled as he sensed Rowen, who was nearly cut in half over there, and silently thought. 

He was the one who was hurt the most. 

It was just that… 

He was also the one with the least significance.
