As the world's strongest pirate crew, the Whitebeard Pirates are not just riding on the reputation of Whitebeard, the world's strongest man!
There's no doubt that Marco the Phoenix has the battle power of an S-Class Emperor, while Diamond Jozu, Foil vista, and others are all at least as strong as the Admirals or top commanders of other pirate crews.
In addition, the loyalty of the ten other squad captains, all of whom possess Vice Admiral-level combat power, along with dozens of New World pirate captains under their command,
Makes the Whitebeard Pirates incredibly powerful. While Whitebeard is their only true top-tier combat force, they have no obvious weaknesses.
The Whitebeard Pirates are a force to be reckoned with, and their strength fully justifies their title as the strongest pirate crew in the world.
In comparison, the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates fall short. Even at their peak, they can't match the Whitebeard Pirates.
As for Kaido of the Beasts' crew, aside from the three big names, the rest of the Flying Six are weak, with little fighting ability.
Peggy Wan and Drake, who only became prominent later, didn't even have bounties exceeding 300 million.
While the mass-produced artificial Devil Fruits give the Beasts Pirates some decent mid-level combat power, their high-level forces aren't impressive at all.
The Whitebeard Pirates are undoubtedly powerful, but Vladimir, at this moment, is even more terrifying.
After equipping the Devil's Embrace and the Ice Staff, Vladimir's strength might still be a bit below that of a true Admiral.
However, when it comes to attack power and terrifying survivability, he's definitely on par with, or even surpassing, any Admiral.
How many of the Whitebeard Pirates' captains could take an Admiral-level attack without harm?
The blood mist moved slowly toward the Moby-Dick, and Whitebeard's expression darkened even further.
Marco and the others also sensed the threat Vladimir posed and were filled with fury.
"Damn bastard,"
"What do you think we are?"
"Go to hell!"
"Phoenix Seal!"
In a fit of rage, Marco and the others launched another powerful attack at Vladimir.
For Marco and the others, being seen as a weakness to threaten Whitebeard was the ultimate humiliation.
But, Immune to Death is Immune to Death.
The legendary pirate Ochoku fought with Vladimir for three whole days and nights, but couldn't leave a single scratch on him!
How many of them could match Ochoku's strength?
Vladimir's blood body allowed Marco and the others to attack him as much as they wanted.
After being constantly broken, it quickly healed.
Then, endless blood surrounded the entire Moby Dick!
Countless weapons made of blood, filled with deadly and corrosive energy, appeared out of nowhere and fell from the sky, targeting the captains on the Moby Dick with great precision and force!
Marco transformed into a phoenix, his phoenix wings spread wide, easily catching many of the blood weapons aimed at him.
Marco's attack power might not be the strongest among all the royal lieutenants, but because of the terrifying healing ability of his Mythical Zoan Phoenix Fruit, he is definitely one of the toughest.
The blood weapons were easily caught by Marco's Phoenix Wings, but his previously angry expression turned into one of pain and seriousness as he continued to block Vladimir's attacks.
An invisible force made Marco's movements slower and slower, and even his phoenix wings started to feel weaker as they flapped.
While the ice staff only slowed Marco and the others down, another powerful item, the Devil's Embrace, caused their life energy to drain continuously after they were hit by Vladimir's blood weapons.
Some of the powerful equipment in the world of League of Legends can be just as dangerous as a Devil Fruit. Some are even more mysterious and hidden than the power of a Devil Fruit.
Marco's face grew serious as he desperately tried to activate the power of the Phoenix within him, healing from the constant damage caused by the Devil's Embrace.
His body was caught in a painful balance between healing and injury!
While the continuous damage from the Devil's Embrace didn't harm Marco because of his Phoenix Fruit healing abilities, it still hurt.
Marco's face grew darker with pain, and the other captains of the Whitebeard Pirates began to show signs of struggle. Their faces turned pale, and blood started to drip from the corners of their mouths.
They didn't have Marco's incredible healing abilities, and even Diamond Jozu found it difficult to fully defend against Vladimir's overwhelming blood power.
The Whitebeard Pirates' captains were panicking in the face of Vladimir's blood-based abilities.
Among the crew members hiding behind the captains, a large, seemingly honest black man watched Vladimir's terrifying power with a glint of greed in his eyes.
"What kind of Devil Fruit did he eat?"
"Could it be the legendary Vampire Fruit from the Mythical Zoan category that grants immortality?"
"If I could fulfill my dream and get the Devil Fruit I've always wanted, it would be amazing to have that one as well."
"Hahaha!"
Blackbeard, who hadn't yet betrayed the Whitebeard Pirates, thought greedily.
The Darkness Fruit was Blackbeard's greatest ambition.
After obtaining the Darkness Fruit, Blackbeard had not yet decided which Devil Fruit he would aim for next.
Before he got Whitebeard's Quake-Quake Fruit, Blackbeard had gone to Drum Island with the goal of obtaining the Munch-Munch Fruit.
The Munch-Munch Fruit and the Quake-Quake Fruit were both backup options for Blackbeard.
Now, there was another potential target added to Blackbeard's list.
The captains of the Whitebeard Pirates were panicking, but Blackbeard, hiding in the background, remained completely calm.
This was because the Whitebeard Pirates were the strongest pirate crew in the world, and the man standing at the bow of the ship was the strongest of them all: Whitebeard!
Whitebeard narrowed his eyes, his face serious. He then unsheathed his supreme sword.
He clenched his hands into claws, gripping the air. The atmosphere instantly shattered, and the entire sea, along with the endless blood mist surrounding the Moby Dick, began to tremble violently.
A series of piercing sounds echoed, and veins bulged in Whitebeard's arms as he applied more force.
The sound of the atmosphere cracking rang out again and again.
The power of the Quake-Quake Fruit reached its ultimate form in Whitebeard's hands.
The terrifying shockwaves from the Quake-Quake Fruit spread in all directions, and with all his might, Whitebeard crushed them!
The countless blood weapons that surrounded the Moby Dick were instantly shattered, and even the strange blood mist that enveloped the ship disappeared, all under the power of Whitebeard's Quake-Quake Fruit.
But the next second, as the waves of the blue sea rolled and rose,
Thin wisps of blood slowly began to form again.
Without the blood mist covering the Moby Dick, the bright sunlight once again bathed the ship, but now,
Everyone aboard the ship no longer felt the same relaxation and joy they had when they arrived at Beehive Island.
The power of Blood Emperor Vladimir was beyond anything the crew of the Moby Dick could imagine.
Even Whitebeard was taken by surprise!
