Zephyr and Whitebeard reached a consensus; they wanted to end this aningless war.
However, just as the two were about to take action, a sudden scream rang out, causing Whitebeard to pause.
He looked up, his pupils constricting.
The scream ca from a large man nad Blanco. His arm had been severed, and a sword was impaled in his chest.
The owner of the sword was a young man who looked to be only twenty-three or twenty-four years old.
With an indifferent expression, the young man slightly twisted the blade in his hand, causing blood to spurt from Blanco's heart.
Then, the young man withdrew the sword from Blanco's heart.
He flicked the blood off the blade.
"re pirates, how dare you act so presumptuously here! Marines will win this war! Pirates, tremble before the blade of justice!"
The young man declared loudly, his words stirring the hearts of many Marines and igniting their morale.
Seeing this, the corners of the young man's mouth lifted almost imperceptibly.
This was precisely the result he wanted.
The reason he went all out to kill this pirate was to intensify the war.
After all, his na was Gekkou Kan, and he ca from the Sage Shinobi Nation.
Although he didn't know Ranzuki and the others' plan, after seeing Konan and the others, Gekkou Kan had already guessed sothing.
Judging from the developnt of this war, Ranzuki and the others most likely wanted this war to erupt and beco fierce.
He had been observing and discovered that this large man was a mber of the Whitebeard Pirates, and an important one at that.
Gekkou also noticed that Whitebeard didn't seem eager to fight, and he might beco a variable that could disrupt Hozuki Ranzuki's plan.
Coupled with the conversation he overheard between Zephyr and Whitebeard, Gekkou Kan knew sothing was amiss.
Therefore, to make Whitebeard honestly play his role, he eliminated Blanco.
As expected, Blanco's death caused a terrifying burst of Conqueror's Haki to erupt from Whitebeard.
In this mont, Whitebeard instantly cast aside his previous thoughts.
His eyes widened fiercely, his naginata stained with a pitch-black color. With a low roar, he leaped into the air, slashing fiercely towards Gekkou Kan.
This was a furious strike, an absolutely terrifying attack. Looking at the entire world, perhaps only a few people could withstand it.
Such an attack made Gekkou Kan's hair stand on end.
He felt a chill run down his spine. Facing this blow, Gekkou Kan knew in his heart that he couldn't block it.
After all, Whitebeard was a Super Kage-level powerhouse, while he was barely a Kage Strong level.
[A/n: Power Levels: Genin, Chunin, Elite Chunin, Jonin, Elite Jonin, Kage, Peak Kage, Super Kage, Six Paths, Peak Six Paths …
tl/n: Finnally!]
There was a huge gap in strength between them, and with Whitebeard striking in anger, the power he unleashed was absolute.
Therefore, Gekkou Kan couldn't resist at all.
He was even locked on; facing Whitebeard's strike, he couldn't even dodge.
But Gekkou Kan's heart wasn't filled with panic. Because the mont he decided to attack Blanco, he had already anticipated this outco.
He was a promising newcor in the Marines, soone being cultivated as a future vice admiral.
And he had just slain a powerful pirate, boosting the Marines' morale.
Once he was killed by Whitebeard, there would be almost no room for reconciliation between the Marines and the pirates.
In that case, this war would definitely achieve the effect that Ranzuki and the others desired.
Many images flashed through his mind, and Gekkou Kan's heart was filled with resolve.
"Die!!!"
Whitebeard's roar echoed as he closed in on Gekkou Kan.
"Stop!!!"
Behind Whitebeard was Admiral Zephyr. The mont he saw what happened, he knew sothing was wrong.
He rembered this young man, and the impression was quite deep.
Because this young man nad Gekkou Kan was one of his key trainees, soone he was grooming to be a future Marine Vice Admiral.
How could he be willing to watch him be killed by Whitebeard?
In this mont, the entire battlefield seed to fall silent.
Everyone's gazes converged here: a young Marine standing with his sword at the ready, a powerful pirate descending from the sky with a naginata like a demon god, and a Marine Admiral rushing over to stop it all.
This scene ford a picture that made many people hold their breath, unable to look away.
Boom!!!
Finally, Whitebeard's naginata slashed down.
The terrifying force directly shattered the ice, sending seawater exploding upwards.
However, his strike didn't land on Gekkou Kan.
Because at the last mont, Gekkou Kan's body suddenly dropped, quickly subrging into the seawater beneath the ice.
"Whitebeard, stop! This war should end!!!"
Zephyr caught sight of this, his heart relaxing as he shouted loudly, trying to prevent Whitebeard's possible rampage.
"Blanco!"
Marco had already reached Blanco's side, his face panicked as he hurriedly tried to treat the dying Blanco.
Other pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates also gathered around, anxiously watching Blanco and Marco.
However, Marco's face turned pale, his expression darkening.
His body trembled slightly because Blanco was beyond saving.
"Damn the Marines!!"
Seeing this, the people gathered around knew what had happened.
Soone roared furiously and charged directly at the nearby Marines.
The aura around Whitebeard beca even more terrifying. His face darkened as he forcefully activated his Observation Haki, trying to find that Marine.
On the other side of the ice layer, Gekkou Kan and another Marine climbed out of the seawater. He looked at Whitebeard and said, "Almost got done in."
"Good thing I was prepared, otherwise that 'almost' wouldn't have co out of your mouth."
The Marine beside Gekkou Kan retorted. His na was Yoru, and he was a Kekkei Genkai user with the ability to control wind.
As a new Marine recruit, he had never revealed this ability, so he had never exposed his true strength.
During the previous fighting, Yoru had been observing the surroundings, especially when Gekkou Kan killed Blanco.
He had already begun preparing, controlling a rope ford from wind, silently reaching Gekkou Kan's feet.
Just as Whitebeard attacked Gekkou Kan, at the critical mont, Yoru pulled Gekkou Kan into the sea.
"Die!!!"
Whitebeard moved again. Facing the person who killed his son, Whitebeard was furious and wouldn't tolerate Gekkou Kan living in front of him.
However, this ti, Zephyr wouldn't let Whitebeard lay a hand on Gekkou Kan. He reacted swiftly and directly confronted Whitebeard.
"Whitebeard, calm down!!!"
Zephyr was still trying to calm Whitebeard down and end this war together.
However, how could Whitebeard possibly calm down at this point?!
