Chapter 220: The Summit War's Curtain Fall
The Merry sailed slowly on the sea. A falcon streaked across the sky from above, dropping a breathless figure.
"Oh, here he is."
Reiner jumped up to catch Whitebeard's body, and after landing, gently placed him on the lawn deck.
His entire body was riddled with bullet holes and sword wounds. His chest even had two holes blasted open by Akainu, and his blood had almost completely drained.
The man known as the world's strongest, the man closest to the throne of the Pirate King, also had a day when he would die in battle.
Reiner placed his hand on the other's shoulder, and an azure flame slowly covered his entire body.
After a good while, the icy flame retracted into his palm, transforming into a single, leaping flame.
Fighting one against three against Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru... Whitebeard's death was a glorious one.
After all, besides Luffy, one probably couldn't find a second person who could survive a head-on clash with the three of them.
Quietly staring at the flame in his hand, feeling the information contained within...
A moment later, a slight disappointment appeared in Reiner's eyes.
"What a pity. It can't be fused with the War Ogre."
Whitebeard was so large, yet he didn't have a single trace of giant blood.
If he could unleash the power of the Gura Gura no Mi with the War Ogre's strength, he could probably shatter Marineford and sink it into the sea with one punch.
Then Reiner would have to bravely venture into the New World ahead of schedule.
However, Whitebeard's own strength was also very great. It was just a pity he was a bit old.
"Reiner!"
A shout came from the distance.
The Whitebeard Pirates had broken through the naval blockade. Luffy stood at the bow of a ship, waving at him.
Looking further back, Akainu was using Moonwalk, chasing them from the far distance.
Using Moonwalk for aerial combat was a last resort. Moreover, as a Devil Fruit user, Akainu had to prevent himself from being knocked into the sea.
With so many undead in Reiner's hands, how could he possibly break through?
"Chasing is a futile effort. How stubborn."
Reiner waved his hand to dismiss the flame in his palm and summoned all his undead from Marineford back, leaving only his clone there.
Sukuna took the lead and flew out, while several other undead were carried by yellow sand to meet Akainu.
On the Marineford plaza.
Teach's body seemed to be draped in a cloak of black flames. The surging black mist at his feet spread across the entire land!
Wherever it passed, all tangible objects were sinking.
After learning what Reiner had done, Teach immediately became enraged and turned his spearhead towards him.
"Black Snake Reiner!"
"You and I are irreconcilable!"
Blackbeard was furious, and thick smoke erupted from behind him, shooting up into the sky.
He raised his arm, palm facing up. The formless black mist swirled and coiled, finally gathering into an extremely massive sphere.
Like a black hole that devoured everything!
"Zehahaha!"
"So-called darkness! Is gravity! Endless gravity can devour everything and then crush it!"
Teach's face was ferocious. He held the black hole high in his hand, like an abyss that drew one's gaze deep into it.
"This is the power of darkness!"
"All of you, go to hell!"
Teach's palm slammed down, and the massive black hole crashed down with his movement.
"This bastard!"
Sengoku cursed under his breath. He condensed a golden light in his palm, and an airwave shot out to meet it!
"Buddha's Impact!"
The impact crashed into the darkness but was like a mud ox entering the sea, not making a single wave. Its power was even being continuously absorbed by that ball of deep darkness.
Faced with the sky-blotting black hole crashing down, Reiner, standing high on the execution platform, was unmoved.
A void rift opened behind him, and a tall figure familiar to all walked out!
The undead Whitebeard's five fingers bent, and he clutched the empty air before him. The formless air wrinkled like a curtain being grabbed.
Then he took a heavy step forward, the veins on his arms bulging. He twisted his body and tore the atmosphere to the side!
Crack!! Crack!!
Crack!! The formless space suddenly shattered!
A dense web of cracks spread out over a large area!
Rumble!!
In an instant! The entire Marineford shook violently!
Before the shocked eyes of everyone, the solidified black hole instantly disintegrated!
A corner of the island tilted into the sea, as if the entire island was about to be overturned!
"P-Pops?!!"
Teach's eyes were filled with terror, his face pale. His trembling legs subconsciously took two steps back.
"Whitebeard's ghost has come for your life, Teach!!"
Reiner grinned sinisterly, spreading his arms and looking down at the entire plaza. "This parting gift isn't bad, is it!"
"Damn it!" Sengoku hurriedly looked towards where Whitebeard had died, but there was no longer any figure there!
Looking at the undead that had just unleashed the power of the Gura Gura no Mi, Sengoku's heart immediately sank.
He knew all too well how terrifying an uninhibited Whitebeard would be.
This was definitely revenge for him revealing the other's secret and inciting the two pirate crews against each other!
"You don't have to be so polite, Sengoku."
Leaving the undead Whitebeard to rampage as he pleased, Reiner's body gradually became ethereal. He gave a cold smile to everyone below:
"Everyone, sink into the sea along with Marineford."
"Stop! Black Snake Reiner!!!" Sengoku roared angrily at him!
Boom! A powerful impact instantly pressed down, smashing the execution platform to pieces.
However, when the dust settled, Reiner's figure was gone.
The undead Whitebeard's eyes glinted fiercely. He leaped towards the Blackbeard camp, raised his hands, clasped them together, and violently hammered the empty air!
Thump!
With a dull sonic boom, the space shattered like a mirror, and a deafening sound exploded in everyone's ears!
The Blackbeard crew, who were the first to bear the brunt, felt the space around them being violently compressed. The vibrating atmosphere seemed to want to crush them alive!
One by one, their eyes looked like they would pop out as they were pressed to the ground, their bodies twisting as they couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood!
The frail Doc Q's bones made a cracking sound all over his body, and his entire skeleton was almost shattered.
Blood continuously flowed from the corner of Blackbeard's mouth. His body knelt heavily on the ground, his hands trembling as he supported himself on the ground, his face a mask of pain.
Are you kidding me!
How is this even possible to fight!!
"Kill him!"
Blackbeard wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and roared, his voice hoarse, "All of you, get him! Kill him together!"
With a command, a large expanse of darkness rapidly spread. He took the opportunity to get up.
He took the lead and fled towards the outside of the battlefield!!
The fanatical Burgess had just taken a few steps towards Whitebeard when he found that Blackbeard had actually abandoned them and fled first?!
Besides himself charging forward, everyone else had also run off with Blackbeard!
"Wait, Captain!"
"Wait for me!" Realizing what had happened, he hurriedly turned around and ran out in a panic!
And at this moment.
An ice wall instantly condensed in front of him, blocking his path!
"Where do you think you're going?"
Cold air emanated from Aokiji. However, his words were even more chilling. "You'll be staying in Impel Down for the rest of your life."
The tall figure of the undead Whitebeard loomed over him. Burgess's eyes showed despair, and his body went limp as he knelt on the ground.
"Go to hell, Teach..."
Boom!
A thick arm pushed a fist that crashed down. The violent force of the tremor crushed Burgess, pressing him tightly to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth, his eyes rolling back.
"Stop chasing Blackbeard for now. Deal with this undead first."
Sengoku spoke in a low voice. "This grudge has been sown today. Just let the two pirate crews bite each other."
On the sea far from Marineford, another pirate ship was rapidly approaching.
A fearsome pirate flag, which made people tremble at the sight of it, fluttered in the wind on the mast.
"It seems Ace has been rescued, boss."
"I can't feel Whitebeard's presence."
"He's probably already dead in battle."
A man with a resolute face, a Western-style sword at his waist, and a head of red hair strode past the others to the bow.
Shanks unleashed his Conqueror's Haki at full power, his Observation Haki quickly sweeping over the battlefield.
"It seems we're a step too late. The war is already over."
As if having seen everything that had happened, Shanks already had a decision in his heart. He turned and walked back towards the cabin, saying lightly, "Let's go. We're heading back."
Benn Beckman, biting a cigarette, spoke with an expressionless face, "Luffy is here too. Aren't you going to meet him?"
"Well, let's forget it."
A corner of Shanks's mouth lifted slightly. "Let's wait in the New World. They will definitely come."
