Back to the projection.
Akainu sent Ace flying with a single punch.
He mocked, “Calling yourself the strongest Logia-type Devil Fruit user, you really don’t know your place.”
“You are merely ordinary fire, while I am magma that can burn even fire. My ability and yours simply cannot be compared.”
Ace trembled as he tried to stand up, while behind him, Luffy, who wanted to save Ace, suddenly collapsed to his knees.
Constantly overtaxing his body, he had already reached his limit.
Suddenly, Ace’s Life Card fell to the ground, moving continuously toward him.
Luffy was stunned and tried to grab it.
But at that moment, Akainu had already raised his crimson fist and swung it toward Luffy.
A flash of Whitebeard’s flag appeared, and countless red beads from a necklace scattered.
The screen turned black and white.
Akainu punched right through Ace.
On the ground, Ace’s Life Card was gradually fading away.
One Piece World.
The entire World was shaken.
“Ace? Fire Fist Ace is dead?”
“No way, he’s a Logia user, and yet he died to protect someone else?”
Moby Dick.
Countless pirates present were filled with rage.
Whitebeard even crushed the armrest, “Akainu! I will tear you to pieces!”
On the other side.
The Straw Hat Luffy crew.
Luffy’s eyes trembled, showing a look of utter shock.
“How can this be? Ace!”
Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, and Robin—shock flashed in everyone’s eyes.
They had only just parted ways not long ago, and now the World-renowned Fire Fist Ace was dead?
It was truly unbelievable.
Jujutsu Kaisen World.
Itadori also sighed, “Judging from his previous actions, that boy must have been very important to him. What a shame.”
Itadori’s guess was correct; besides Whitebeard, Luffy was the most important person in his life.
The two grew up together and later became sworn brothers with another person named Sabo.
(In Ace’s memory, Sabo was already dead, so Luffy became his only brother.)
Marine Headquarters.
Kizaru flashed a smile, “Sakazuki is truly terrifying, killing Ace with just one punch.”
Sengoku also smiled, “Whitebeard will see this video too. We still need to be careful of his retaliation.”
A playful expression appeared on Akainu’s face: “I’m not afraid of that. I will kill every pirate who comes to take my life.”
“Ace!? Hehe, how interesting. All pirates are evil. The people you want to protect will also die—this is the power of justice.”
Back to the projection.
Akainu wanted to continue his pursuit but was stopped by Marco the Phoenix.
The two roared as blue and red light collided violently.
However, in the next second…
Marco was somewhat outmatched by Akainu and was sent flying by a punch.
At that moment, the hilt of a blade slammed heavily onto the ground.
A massive dark shadow loomed behind Akainu.
Akainu’s face turned pale with fright, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
He turned his head, and there stood Whitebeard.
Whitebeard’s face was completely dark, his eyes cold, filled with unimaginable rage.
The muscles in his left arm bulged, and with a roar, he threw a punch that landed squarely on Akainu’s face.
With this punch, even space itself was distorted.
“Boom!”
All of Marineford shook continuously, teetering on the edge of collapse.
Jujutsu Kaisen World.
Itadori said in shock, “So strong! Even space is being compressed. This power is comparable to Might Guy with the Gate of Death opened.”
Gojo Satoru was also shaken, “Under this kind of power, that guy Akainu probably won’t survive.”
Angel stopped her mocking and simply said, “Decent strength. For a human, it’s indeed quite shocking.”
“Distorting space… this power has already surpassed the human realm,” Yan said.
Holy Queen Keisha sat on her throne, silent.
Besides being a bit surprised by Whitebeard’s strength, she was also contemplating other things.
The height of humans in the One Piece World is somewhat abnormal.
You should know that in the human World, two meters is already considered very tall.
Beyond two meters, most people, except for professional basketball players, suffer from gigantism.
Yet in this World, those over five meters tall are everywhere.
Whitebeard’s height is 666 cm.
And then there’s the powerful Giant Race, who are dozens of meters tall.
Not to mention the Sea Kings that are thousands of meters long, though of course, they don’t fall into the human category.
Perhaps a strange power has altered the genes of this World, allowing them to break through their Genetic Locks.
Earth.
Morgana said happily, “Well done! I’ve disliked these so-called Marines for a long time. Calling themselves justice? Ridiculous.”
Back to the scene.
Akainu lay on the ground, his head sinking deeper and deeper.
Just when everyone in the heavens thought Akainu wouldn’t survive…
He stood up, his face covered in blood.
One-Punch Man World.
“He didn’t die even from that? What incredible vitality.”
Before the video, the cyborg Genos was completely stunned.
He simply couldn’t imagine how much tenacity it took to survive a space-compressing punch from Whitebeard.
At least among the people Genos had seen, no one could do it.
Even the Elder Centipede that Saitama fought later was punched into nothingness by Saitama.
Saitama stood nearby, his expression somewhat solemn, and spoke up:
“They’re a bit special; breaking the Genetic Lock seems quite easy for them. And I’ve noticed that the World they’re in isn’t our World.”
Genos was shocked: “This isn’t our World? Then the Ninjas from before, they weren’t either?”
Saitama shook his head: “Definitely not the same World. Actually, I’m not entirely sure, but I’d guess it’s not the same World.”
Genos was speechless for a long time after hearing Saitama’s words, muttering to himself, “Not the same World!? Does other life really exist in this Universe?”
