Chapter 69: Whitebeard, Are You at Your Limit?

Marco's opponent was Kizaru. With Whitebeard suddenly injured, Marco wanted to retreat and defend. "Oh my, Captain Marco, you can't leave!" How could Kizaru let Marco return so easily? The Glint-Glint Fruit's power was extensively unleashed, blocking Marco's path back. Although he was initially sent flying into the rubble by Marco's kick, he was an admiral after all. That kick couldn't really hurt Kizaru!

On the other side, Jozu also wanted to return, but in his anxiousness, he fell into Doflamingo's trap. Several strings descended from the sky, suddenly binding Jozu. Doflamingo, walking with an unfeeling stride, approached: "Fufufufu, Captain Jozu, you can't go back, let's see how strong the Whitebeard Pirates' strongest shield really is!" Jozu frowned and gritted his teeth. He suddenly found his body uncontrollable. Several punches were thrown, instead sending several Whitebeard Pirates' soldiers flying.

"Third Captain?" Other pirates were confused.

"Get out of the way!" Jozu shouted at them.

Vista's opponent was Mihawk. With Whitebeard suddenly injured, he no longer had the heart to duel with Mihawk. He immediately turned and ran back to the Moby Dick. Mihawk did not stop him. He silently sheathed his black sword.

On the Moby Dick, countless people were glaring at Squard with hostility. "Squard, do you know what you're doing?"

"Why did you attack Dad?"

"I could kill you right now." Some of the Whitebeard Pirates' members shouted, suppressing their anger.

Faced with everyone's questions, Squard stubbornly defended himself: "Can't you see? Whitebeard wants to lead our pirate crew to destruction! If we didn't participate in this war, our Whitebeard Pirates would still be one of the Four Emperors in the New World."

Destruction? Hearing this, a look of confusion flashed across everyone's faces. Then, Squard explained his conversation with Akainu and pointed at Whitebeard, accusing him of being the mastermind, claiming he was the culprit of this war!

Hearing it was all Akainu's manipulation, the injured Whitebeard suddenly laughed heartily. For Whitebeard, the one most affected by Squard's sudden betrayal was none other than Whitebeard himself. Recently, the betrayal of Blackbeard Teach had already shaken his belief in his family. Now Squard had followed suit. Whitebeard was starting to doubt himself as the head of the family. Could he really be that bad?

Now knowing it was due to Akainu's scheming, a weight was lifted from his heart. He softly and gently began to talk to Squard: "You're right, if this war didn't happen, our Whitebeard Pirates would never fall! Squard, I know you did this for the Whitebeard Pirates, and that's why you were deceived by Akainu. But you must understand, the navy's tactic of sowing discord is a common trick. Why would you rather believe the navy than trust me, your father? If we don't land at Marineford, would you really stand by and watch Ace die alone at Marineford?"

After Whitebeard's heartfelt words, Squard suddenly realized his mistake. He understood that he had truly erred. Seeing the bleeding Whitebeard, I... What have I done? Squard, like a criminal in Detective Conan, shouted, "The reason I killed him was all his fault," and then Conan said, "No, you're wrong, he did it because....." After the explanation, the criminal, realizing the truth, stumbled and collapsed, crying and repenting.

Squard trembled uncontrollably, crying and shouting, "Dad, I'm sorry....."

"No matter what mistakes you've made, you are always my children!" Whitebeard, like forgiving with a glass of wine, embraced Squard with a gentle voice. With Squard's admission of his mistake and Whitebeard's forgiving embrace, the chaos on the Moby Dick was completely quelled.

"Gurararara! If you think such tactics can divide the Whitebeard Pirates, the navy is too naive!" Whitebeard pulled Squard's sword from his abdomen, his sharp gaze sweeping over Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, Sengoku, and Garp, speaking coldly. The one who sowed discord within the Whitebeard Pirates was touching Whitebeard's reverse scale. Faced with the navy's actions, what Whitebeard could do was to use his strongest power to make the navy widen their eyes and see clearly what it means to be the leader of the Four Emperors of the New World!

A white light appeared in Whitebeard's hand. The Gura Gura no Mi erupted again! Whitebeard punched. The air cracked, the fissures spreading out. The glacier in front of him collapsed with a roar, seawater rushing towards the Marine Headquarters.

This wasn't the end. Whitebeard threw a second punch. "Boom!!" Marineford was directly struck by Whitebeard's Gura Gura no Mi, a severe earthquake enveloping it, causing everyone to lose their balance. The entire island was almost destroyed by Whitebeard's second punch.

Whitebeard threw a third punch. Devastating power erupted violently. This time, the shockwave headed straight for the Marine Headquarters building. If hit, this iconic navy building would cease to exist from today. Among the three admirals, the only one who could react was Akainu. Akainu gritted his teeth. Armament Haki covered his arms. He stood in front of the Marine Headquarters building, using his bare hands to withstand the shockwave from Whitebeard's Gura Gura no Mi!

After three punches, each punch carried a destructive aura, powerful enough to destroy Marineford. This was the wrath of Whitebeard. This was the consequence of attempting to break the unity of the Whitebeard Pirates. Feeling the power erupted from Whitebeard, the navy was in turmoil. Three punches nearly destroyed Marineford. What kind of power was this! Their force of one hundred thousand was forcibly suppressed by Whitebeard alone!

Of course, Whitebeard was already in poor condition, injured by Squard's long knife, and exhausted after these three punches of rage. Whitebeard's remaining strength was almost depleted!

However, the effect was multiplied. The navy's morale plummeted. The Whitebeard Pirates' counterattack horn sounded again!

"Kill!!" Led by Squard, the captains of the allied pirate crews drew their long knives and joined the grand battle. The battle resumed.

At this moment, Akainu moved from below the execution platform. He had naturally noticed the exhausted Whitebeard! Whitebeard, are you at your limit? In that case, let me end your life! Akainu, with his sword in hand, charged towards Whitebeard!
