Chapter 290 Akainu's Sneak Attack Successfully
That's why the power generated when their fists collide is absolutely devastating and unparalleled!
After the first shockwave, the powerful force continued to collide and intertwine between the fists, forming wave after wave of awe-inspiring shockwaves.
These shockwaves, centered on the two men's fists, swept outwards like surging ocean waves. Wherever they went, it was as if a category 12 typhoon had ravaged the area; everything was blown about, some even destroyed outright.
The shockwave had an extremely wide reach, engulfing the entire naval port! Those with slightly weaker abilities were powerless against this terrifying force and were all knocked to the ground. Even those with slightly stronger abilities could only barely maintain their balance, avoiding being blown away by the force.
Only those with strength reaching the level of lieutenant general can stand firmly amidst these raging shockwaves.
This scene makes one marvel at the terrifying power contained in the clash between the two, which could generate such a horrifying shockwave.
At this tense moment, Akainu, like a burning meteor, streaked across the sky and landed steadily above the position where the two were fighting.
His appearance went unnoticed by the two men, who remained focused on their confrontation, neither daring to relax their guard for a moment. However, Akainu's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.
For Akainu, this was a golden opportunity. He might never encounter such a chance again in his life. Therefore, he would absolutely not miss this golden opportunity no matter what.
As for the so-called one-on-one samurai spirit, Akainu doesn't care at all. In his eyes, only victory matters. As long as the Navy is ultimately on the winning side, everything else is just a trivial detail.
"Netherhound!"
With a furious roar, Akainu unhesitatingly activated his ability. His arm was instantly covered in lava and rapidly extended, like a ferocious hound, pouncing straight at Whitebeard.
This move is not only extremely fast, making it difficult to react, but its power is also extraordinary. In the original manga, Akainu used this move to strike Whitebeard with overwhelming force, even blowing off half of his face, demonstrating its formidable power.
However, how could Whitebeard and Enni be completely unaware of such a fierce attack?
In reality, given their combined strength, it was impossible for them to ignore Akainu's appearance. To be precise, their Observation Haki detected Akainu's every move.
At this moment, they were all giving it their all, focusing all their energy on their battle, and had no time to pay attention to Akainu.
Therefore, when Akainu's attack struck like lightning, Whitebeard's expression instantly turned extremely serious. He knew very well that if he chose to withdraw and retreat to avoid Akainu's attack, he would face Enni's fist, which was capable of destroying everything.
However, if he doesn't dodge, he will face Akainu's ferocious attack. Under normal circumstances, such an attack from Akainu would be a piece of cake for him; he could easily block it with a punch or a sword.
But at this moment, the situation is completely different; this attack has become extremely deadly!
At this moment, Aini cursed inwardly, "Holy crap, this Akainu is a kill-stealer!"
He never expected that Akainu would be so lacking in martial ethics; he was utterly undignified!
Enni was very unhappy. He felt that Akainu should at least have waited until he and Whitebeard finished exchanging punches before making his move!
He wasn't the kind of person to be naive. Akainu had already made it so obvious, so naturally he wouldn't try to compete for the opportunity. After all, all he wanted was the position of an admiral.
Moreover, his performance and the contributions he made just now are enough to secure his position.
Therefore, the reason he attacked Whitebeard was simply to explore the gap between himself and the world's strongest man, just like Hawkeye's original intention when he attacked Whitebeard.
However, it must be admitted that Akainu did indeed seize this excellent opportunity with great precision!
After all, at this point, he could no longer stop.
If you forcefully pull back your fist, wouldn't that be blatantly throwing the fight?
He certainly didn't want Akainu and Sengoku to find any fault with him at such a crucial moment. Otherwise, it would cause unnecessary trouble for his promotion to admiral.
He knew very well that if given the chance, these guys would absolutely not want him to become a Navy Admiral.
...
"brush"
In the blink of an eye, just as Whitebeard's life hung by a thread, he suddenly tilted his head, narrowly avoiding Akainu's thunderous attack in an extremely dangerous manner.
But unexpectedly, the attack was not completely dodged, and half of Whitebeard's face was destroyed by Akainu's attack!
Even his face showed charred bones. Clearly, Whitebeard was seriously injured by this attack.
It should be noted that Whitebeard is different from Kaido and Big Mom. His strength mainly lies in his unparalleled power and the terrifying Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability.
However, despite this, his own defensive capabilities are still within the range of normal humans compared to other super-strong individuals.
This is like Garp, who, despite his immense strength, was injured by an insignificant henchman with an axe; or Shanks, who, despite his amazing fighting abilities, still had a hand bitten off by a Sea King.
However, if the same attack were to fall on Kaido and Big Mom, it would be as insignificant as tickling them.
Whitebeard, Garp, and Shanks are all incredibly strong fighters with formidable offensive capabilities, but their physical defenses are only at a normal level.
In contrast, Kaido and Big Mom belong to another category of super strong individuals.
Their offensive power is slightly inferior, but their physical defense is incredibly strong.
Such differences exist among strong individuals of the same level, but with different focuses.
That's why Whitebeard was severely injured when he faced Akainu's attack. However, this doesn't mean that Whitebeard's strength was inferior to Kaido and Big Mom's.
