Chapter 278 Being Knocked Away
"Dad!"
With that shout, Aini and Hawkeye's movements instantly drew everyone's attention. The intense battle seemed to be paused at that moment, both sides' attacks halting simultaneously.
The members of the Whitebeard Pirates, in particular, wore expressions of deep worry. They were well aware of their father's physical condition; although his strength remained formidable, age had taken its toll, and his body was no longer as robust as it once was.
Marco still needs to treat him from time to time.
If it were just an ordinary expert, or only one of them launching the attack...
Perhaps they wouldn't be so worried. Whitebeard's strength is undeniable, and dealing with him wouldn't be a problem at all, or even a challenge.
However, the people who made their move at this moment were no ordinary characters. One was Hawkeye, who was hailed as the greatest swordsman in the world, and the other was Enni, whose strength was comparable to Kaido's.
Faced with such a powerful enemy, and in a disadvantageous situation of two against one, even their father would probably find it difficult to deal with easily!
How could they not be worried?
However, Marco and "Diamond" Jozu, guarding Whitebeard, would not allow Enni and Hawkeye's scheme to succeed. At this critical moment, the two moved with lightning speed, almost simultaneously.
Marco suddenly exerted force with his legs, as if containing infinite power, and his whole body leaped into the air like an arrow released from a bow.
Immediately afterwards, the huge wings on his back unfolded rapidly, like a pair of dazzling feathers.
With a powerful flap of its wings, Marco created a strong gust of air. Propelled by this powerful airflow, Marco's figure shot towards Aini like a burning meteor, its speed astonishing.
At the same time, "Diamond" Jozu flashed to the spot where Hawkeye's slash was bound to land. His ability activated instantly, and his entire body seemed to be encased in an indestructible layer of diamond, shining brightly.
"Rumble..."
The first to collide were Marco and Aini in the air.
In the instant the two rapidly approached, Marco's legs suddenly underwent an astonishing transformation, turning into a pair of sharp claws. These claws gleamed with a cold light, like the scythe of death, and with a fierce momentum, they slashed down fiercely towards Aini.
Despite Marco's devastating attack, Aini remained remarkably calm. A slight, disdainful smile played on his lips, as if he were completely unconcerned about Marco's assault.
Just then, Aini suddenly threw a punch, which flew past like a shooting star.
In an instant, a claw and a fist collided violently in mid-air, producing a deafening roar. The power of this strike was immense, as if the entire world trembled.
It is clear that Ani is stronger.
Under the violent impact, Marco's entire leg was instantly shattered, and even half of his body suffered severe damage.
However, despite this, Marco successfully withstood Aini's attack, forcing Aini to stop.
Meanwhile, "Diamond" Jozu on the ground was also facing immense pressure. Hawkeye's terrifying slash came down like lightning, carrying unparalleled power.
Upon seeing this, Joz immediately caught the fatal slash with both hands.
However, the power of this slash was simply too great; even a strong person like Jozu could not fully withstand it. Under the enormous impact of the slash, Jozu was forced to retreat backward, his legs dragging deep marks on the ice.
"drink!"
However, Joz's defense and strength were also terrifying. Suddenly, he roared and his power erupted like a volcanic eruption.
He suddenly raised both arms upwards, using all his strength to forcefully push Hawkeye's slash into the sky.
With a loud "bang," the slash exploded in mid-air, creating a powerful shockwave.
The shockwave, like a raging torrent, spread outwards at an astonishing speed, directly scattering the clouds in the sky.
Seeing this, Hawkeye couldn't help but take a deep look at "Diamond" Joz, and then did not make a move.
He knew that with "Diamond" Jozu around, it would be virtually impossible to directly attack Whitebeard. At the same time, he was also shocked by "Diamond" Jozu's strength.
Meanwhile, in mid-air, Enni watched as Marco, whose body had been half-shattered by her powerful attack, was rapidly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to full health in the blink of an eye!
Although Aini had heard about Marco's terrifying regenerative abilities before, he was still deeply shocked when he actually witnessed it.
This incredible recovery ability is simply astonishing!
Enni couldn't help but exclaim, "Marco's Phoenix Fruit is truly amazing! With such an ability, it's almost impossible to inflict any real damage on him before his stamina is exhausted!"
At the same time, Marco also noticed Enni's presence. His gaze was fixed on Enni, as if he were spitting fire. Because he recognized Enni at a glance—it was that despicable Marine who had captured Ace!
If looks could kill, then Enni would probably have been burned to ashes by Marco's rage by now!
Not only Marco, but even Whitebeard fixed his majestic gaze on Enni at this moment.
His right hand gripped the Murakumo-giri tightly, as if it were one with him. His gaze was as cold as ice, fixed on Ani before him, and he said in a cold, emotionless voice, "Kid, did you capture Ace?"
Before he finished speaking, the Murakumogiri in his hand swung with lightning speed. At the same time, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit power within him was instantly activated, forming a powerful shockwave.
"collapse……"
With a deafening roar, Aini didn't even have time to react before being sent flying like a cannonball. His body hurtled through the air before slamming heavily into the walls of the naval port.
"Rumble..."
The wall roared loudly from Aini's impact, then collapsed in large sections, unable to withstand the force. Aini's body was buried beneath the rubble.
"hiss……"
Upon seeing this scene, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
Especially the Marines, who were well aware of Aini's strength. In their minds, Aini was already equivalent to an Admiral.
