Chapter 291 Whitebeard severely injures Akainu with a counterattack
"Dad!"
Just as everyone's attention was focused on Enni and Whitebeard, Akainu suddenly launched a fierce attack, blowing off half of Whitebeard's face in one blow.
This was seen by all the members of the Whitebeard Pirates, and they were all horrified.
Many people couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
This exclamation revealed extreme concern for Whitebeard's safety.
The voice even trembled slightly, as if the entire Whitebeard Pirates were quite frightened by this sudden turn of events. They stared wide-eyed at Whitebeard, their faces filled with terror, fearing that he would be severely injured by this attack.
However, they knew in their hearts that their father had been severely injured.
It's just that they don't really dare to believe it, and they're unwilling to believe it.
It's important to understand that Whitebeard was their spiritual pillar, the backbone of the entire Whitebeard Pirates. His existence was crucial to the pirate crew; if anything happened to him, the entire crew would likely fall apart.
Moreover, they are currently at Marine Headquarters, engaged in a life-or-death struggle with the Navy. If something happens to Whitebeard here, it would mean the defeat of this war, and the consequences of defeat would undoubtedly be extremely serious.
Most of those present would likely be caught or killed, with only a very few possibly surviving.
Faced with such a cruel reality, how could they not be panicked and terrified?
However, besides their concern for Whitebeard's safety and their fear of defeat in the war, there was an indescribable emotion surging deep within the hearts of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Before they knew it, many people's eyes were already moist, and tears were welling up in their eyes.
After all, they weren't fools. They knew the significance of Whitebeard to the entire pirate crew and understood the impact of the outcome of this war on each of them.
But at this moment, their concern and longing for Whitebeard surpassed everything; even the greatest fear could not overshadow their deep affection for their old man.
"it is good!"
In stark contrast to the Whitebeard Pirates, the Marines' faces were filled with delight. This joy spread rapidly through the crowd, instantly igniting a flame in everyone's heart.
The initial surprise quickly turned into excitement, which surged like a tidal wave, creating a frenzied atmosphere throughout the navy. Every eye gleamed with fighting spirit, and their morale was like a powder keg ready to explode.
"kill!"
With that roar, the Marines seized the opportunity presented by the Whitebeard Pirates' disarray and, led by the Vice Admirals, launched another fierce attack on the Whitebeard Pirates like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey.
This time, the Whitebeard Pirates were clearly caught off guard. Their defenses were torn apart in an instant, and the entire crew was immediately put on the defensive.
Even the captains, whose strength was comparable to that of a vice admiral, were somewhat distracted at this moment, unable to fully concentrate on the battle. Their minds were already on Whitebeard, deeply worried about his safety.
The remaining pirates were even more demoralized. Once fierce and fearless, they now wore expressions of terror, as if they had lost their leader. Their attacks became hesitant and reactive, completely devoid of their former sharpness and decisiveness.
The two sides, which were initially evenly matched, suddenly found themselves in a one-sided situation. Pirates fell one after another to the Navy's relentless attack.
Standing on the high platform, Sengoku couldn't help but smile slightly. The current situation was far too favorable for the navy; he seemed to already see the final outcome of this war.
"Great!"
Sengoku sighed inwardly, this meticulously planned battle was finally about to end in the most perfect way he had envisioned.
He only dared to dream of such a perfect ending, never imagining how smoothly it would go.
His gaze fell on Aini.
His gaze was somewhat complicated, because things had gone so smoothly. Enni was undoubtedly the one who deserved the most credit, because it was his plan that allowed Squard to severely injure Whitebeard.
This prevented Whitebeard from unleashing his full power.
Secondly, Enni alone blocked Vista, Jozu, and Marco, leaving Whitebeard all alone.
This gave Squard the opportunity to get his hands on it.
Finally, he held Whitebeard back head-on, which gave Akainu an opportunity to severely injure Whitebeard once again.
Therefore, I've grown to admire Aini more and more.
After all, this will not only be the most glorious achievement of his life, but will also make his name forever engraved in the history of the navy and even the world government.
However, at that moment, the injured Whitebeard suddenly roared, "Get out of here!"
The voice was like that of a wounded beast, filled with anger and resentment. Whitebeard gripped his greatsword tightly with both hands, simultaneously unleashing his terrifying Tremor-Tremor ability.
Akainu clearly did not expect Whitebeard to launch such a fierce counterattack while he was injured. Before he could even react, he was slashed hard by Whitebeard's greatsword, which was filled with terrifying power and tremor.
boom...
This earth-shattering attack, like a volcanic eruption, instantly blasted Akainu into magma, which sprayed outwards like a raging torrent. Wherever the scalding magma passed, the ground was scorched, wisps of smoke rising, as if it would melt everything around it.
However, Akainu is, after all, a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, and his body possesses elemental properties, which makes him not so easy to defeat.
The splashed lava rapidly coalesced in mid-air, as if drawn together by an invisible force. In the blink of an eye, the lava reformed into a human shape ten meters away, while Akainu stood there unharmed.
However, although Akainu successfully blocked the attack, he was clearly in poor condition. His face was unusually pale, as if all the color had been drained from him, and even his lips were sickly pale.
His body trembled slightly, as if he was trying to control the injuries inside his body.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, Akainu coughed up a mouthful of blood, the bright red blood arcing through the air before splattering onto the ground. This outburst of blood undoubtedly indicated that he had suffered an extremely serious injury.
Upon seeing this, Aini couldn't help but let out a click of amazement.
He thought to himself, "Whitebeard truly lives up to his name!"
Even in his old age, frailty, and suffering from injuries and repeated blows, he was still able to unleash such a powerful attack, inflicting such a heavy blow on Akainu.
Moreover, Akainu is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user; if it were someone else, the injuries would probably be much more severe.
It even stopped completely.
