Born decades earlier, Kenji didn't regret not being born in the sa era as the powerhouses of this generation.
Only another genius can compete with a genius, but even a genius needs ti to grow. Even a protagonist is no exception.
Kenji never felt ashad of 'beating up North Blue kindergarteners'.
As the saying goes, play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. To fully utilize the advantage of being older, you should beat them up while they're still young.
"It has been many years, indeed..."
"Almost thirty years, I suppose."
Kenji looked at the approaching Moby Dick and Whitebeard's figure at the bow, clenching his fists until his knuckles cracked.
He had once used his age advantage to beat up many promising individuals. Fortunately, he hadn't beco 'powerless with age'. Instead, he was even more formidable than in his youth.
If those who had been beaten by him in the past ca looking for him, they would probably experience a 'surprise'.
Rumble!
As the Marine ship rapidly approached the core area of the battlefield, increasingly strong aftershocks of vibration assaulted them.
Fortunately, Kenji's Marine ship was sailing along a route with lower vibration intensity.
As for why the vibration intensity was lower on this route, it was naturally because Sengoku and his Marine ship were taking the brunt ahead.
However, under the continuous output of vibration waves, Sengoku was still able to hold on, but his Marine ship was starting to give out.
The Marine ship's hull had been subjected to the impact of vibration aftershocks for a long ti. As the saying goes, water wears away stone, let alone such violent vibrations. The entire hull gradually began to fall apart.
Of course, it was still in the early stages. The disintegration speed was very slow, and the Marines on the ship worked together to maintain the ship's stability, which also slowed down the disintegration speed.
It was just that the trend of the entire Marine ship disintegrating could no longer be stopped.
The entire hull was loose and could not be saved by simple repair asures.
"Marie, Tsuru, you two pay attention to rescuing our personnel who fall into the water later," Kenji turned and instructed Marie and the others.
At this mont, the ship had already reached the edge of the battlefield's core area, very close to Sengoku's Marine ship.
Kenji slightly bent his knees, and before the Marine ship entered the center of the battlefield, he suddenly exploded forward, his entire body radiating Armant Haki, striking into the battlefield like lightning.
Under the stormy clouds, the enormous Moby Dick bobbed up and down in the surging waves, like a giant whale struggling against the current.
Whitebeard stood at the bow, his hands having just caught the large Murakumogiri falling from the sky, while continuously releasing Observation Haki, constantly perceiving the movents of the two strong enemies within the battlefield.
Originally, compared to Kenji, Whitebeard paid more attention to Sengoku's actions.
Aside from his personal belief that Sengoku was stronger, it was also because Sengoku was closest to him, and his threat was imdiate.
However, not long ago, this focus was broken, and Whitebeard shifted more of his attention to Kenji.
There was no other reason. It was because Kenji was 'unscrupulous' and launched a sneak attack on his Moby Dick.
"Hmph! Daring to co over actively, do you want to smash my Moby Dick?!"
Seeing Kenji approaching from a distance, stepping through the air with Geppo, Whitebeard imdiately beca enraged.
He gripped his large Murakumogiri with both hands. Conqueror's Haki wrapped around the blade, and he launched a long-range slash towards Kenji.
Tear!
The space seed to be torn apart, emitting a clear sound of ripping cloth.
Streaks of lightning-like Haki traces accompanied by an imnse slash spread out like electric light.
"Whitebeard!"
Just as Whitebeard launched his slash, Sengoku roared in mid-air, closing in.
The golden Buddha still radiated brilliant light under the dark, stormy weather, and his giant golden fist, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, slamd fiercely towards Whitebeard.
In a hurry, Whitebeard only had ti to turn his blade to block, also with the power of Conqueror's Haki.
Crackle!!
The large Murakumogiri and the giant fist collided in mid-air, and terrifying power erupted.
The shockwave generated by the enormous energy swept everything around, and large sections of the Moby Dick's bow were blown away, with pieces of wood spinning and flying upwards, making Whitebeard frown.
"Get out of my way!" Finally, Whitebeard roared, repelling Sengoku.
"Pops! Whitebeard Pops!"
At this mont, shouts ca from behind.
Whitebeard turned his head and scanned, finding his 'adopted son' crew mbers desperately grabbing onto anything they could to steady themselves and avoid being blown away by the shockwave.
Many of these crew mbers were young people Whitebeard had brought from his hotown, and they were all quite young.
"Let's stop here for now."
Whitebeard retracted his gaze and then saw Kenji forcefully clashing with the slash from afar, using a heavy punch imbued with Armant Haki.
"Hmph! There will be other opportunities..."
A flash of light appeared in Whitebeard's eyes. Then he suddenly threw his large Murakumogiri high into the air, and grabbed at the air beside him, as if tearing space.
Rumble!
As he perford this action of tearing space, the sea within and outside the battlefield suddenly boiled, and giant waves surged, as if the end of the world had arrived.
The powerful vibration force spread far and wide, even affecting Kubo Island, which was extrely far away and outside the battlefield, causing cracks to appear across the entire island.
The most intensely affected and hardest hit by the vibration was naturally Sengoku, who was in close combat with Whitebeard at the center of the battlefield, followed by Kenji.
The power of vibration stirred the sea, and the air vibration was equally violent.
Sengoku's huge figure was constantly pushed back by the air currents, and the Marine ship behind him completely disintegrated at this mont, its hull scattering into the sea like building blocks with a 'clatter'.
Fortunately, Kenji's Marine ship had already arrived nearby, and under the command of Tsuru and the others, they quickly rescued the fallen Marine officers and soldiers.
In the distance, Kenji did not continue to attack, releasing flowing Armant Haki in mid-air to resist the vibration waves, preventing his Marine ship from being directly hit and torn apart by the vibration force.
He certainly didn't want to actually swim back to Marineford.
As for Whitebeard, after releasing a massive amount of vibration energy, he retracted his hands and steadily caught the falling large Murakumogiri, not making any further moves.
"My sons, let's go ho!"
Soon, the Moby Dick was ready and subrged into the sea.
However, due to Kenji's previous punch, the Moby Dick's bow was leaking a bit, but fortunately, there were people on board who could repair it, and temporary repairs were made.
Bang! Splash!!
Moby Dick subrged below the surface, stirring up a spray of water, a sight truly like a giant whale returning to the sea.
"Are they gone?"
Kenji continuously released Observation Haki, able to sense Whitebeard's aura rapidly moving away beneath the surface.
He turned around and returned to the Marine ship using Geppo.
As the battle ended, the various battle aftershocks on the battlefield gradually subsided, and the sea waves slowly returned to the normal level for stormy weather.
Although the weather was also dangerous, it waswithin a level that ordinary people could understand. The giant waves on the battlefield just now had surpassed normal human comprehension.
Soon after, Kenji stepped onto the Marine ship's deck.
At this mont, Sengoku, who had returned to his normal human form, also arrived, treading the waves.
Marie and Tsuru were still directing the rescue operation, and Marine soldiers were being rescued onto the ship, with people bustling on the deck.
Originally, Kenji had only received a temporary support mission, so the Marine ship he was on was naturally just an ordinary dium-sized vessel with limited capacity.
Now, after taking on the troops from Tsuru's and Sengoku's two Marine ships, the entire Marine ship was almost completely filled. Cabins, decks, and even the mast were crowded with people.
Fortunately, there were many experts on board, who managed to keep the Marine ship from sinking.
"It's overloaded, this won't do." Kenji scanned the crowd, frowning.
"We'll go to Kubo Island first and requisition so ships... Hmm?"
Just as he was secretly planning how to handle the personnel on board, a flash of light appeared in his vision.
The system's reward prompt had arrived.
