"Father, are you really sure Sengoku can hold out until reinforcements arrive?"
The sons, who had never questioned Whitebeard's words before, now began to doubt.
Whitebeard's face twitched: "What I said was, Sengoku in his prime could hold out."
Who would have thought Sengoku was ambushed twice in a row.
The first time was when Kevin made his initial appearance, no one expected him to still be alive, and he launched a surprise attack.
It was impossible to guard against.
The second time was just now.
No one expected Kevin, who was about to join the battle, to suddenly teleport behind Sengoku.
These two blows were fatal.
It was also because Sengoku was strong and his Devil Fruit ability provided high defense; if it had been a weaker Admiral like Zephyr, one attack might have taken his life.
"Kevin, it seems we're not needed anymore."
Gion stopped.
She was prepared to let Kevin alone take the unprecedented glory of killing the Fleet Admiral.
"No need, he's just a Fleet Admiral, it's not much glory, let's go together."
Kevin would not give Sengoku any chance.
He charged towards Sengoku first.
"It seems I'm also going to become a legend."
Shaki couldn't hide her excitement.
After decades of retirement, she realized that she wasn't as calm as she thought about such immense glory.
"Rumble!"
The blade in Kevin's hand trailed a golden afterglow.
Each strike was faster and heavier than the last.
Gion and Kevin joined forces, their hearts in sync, every move a perfect collaboration.
Even Sengoku at his peak couldn't withstand them, let alone now.
Pieces of flesh were constantly being carved off the Buddha's physique, blood and flesh flying.
Stussy was off to the side, launching long-range attacks.
Lightning constantly shot out, each strike perfectly timed to paralyze Sengoku's body, leaving him no chance to fight back.
Shaki also attacked from a distance, using the force of her punches.
Punch after punch, she pummeled Sengoku, leaving him covered in lumps.
It was tragic.
Too tragic.
Many people couldn't bear to watch.
"There's still a chance, there's still a chance."
Sengoku still didn't give up, persisting purely through willpower.
Slowly.
His willpower began to waver.
He would die.
He would really die.
"At least I won't let them have it easy." Sengoku gritted his teeth, his eyes turning frantic.
He suppressed the remaining power within his body.
With one hand, he blocked Kevin's blade.
His entire arm broke off.
The moment his arm broke, the power from that arm seemed to transfer to his last remaining arm, which thickened and grew several times in size, like a giant's fist.
Conqueror's Haki covered his fist.
Buddha's Slaughter!
Sengoku unleashed his ultimate move.
It was aimed at Gion.
He estimated that if this move couldn't kill Kevin, then killing Gion, and making Kevin suffer, would be worth the price.
"Move aside."
Kevin pulled Gion back.
He himself faced Sengoku's space-tearing fist.
There was no time to charge up.
He held his sword with one hand and braced the blade with the other.
He used "Ace" to block the fist.
"Boom!"
The fist struck Ace, an indescribable immense force creating a super shockwave that carved out abysses in the land and ocean, reaching beyond the horizon.
The clouds in the sky.
A straight gully also appeared.
Kevin's feet slid on the ground.
He moved hundreds of meters.
"As expected of the Fleet Admiral, even in this state, he can still unleash such power."
"Are these monsters of the sea really human like us?"
Everyone was shocked by Sengoku's combat power.
"It was very effective."
Kevin stretched his body.
He exhaled the stale air from his mouth, a trace of blood at the corner of his lips.
Sengoku's eyes suddenly dimmed.
This move hadn't even seriously injured him.
What kind of physique was this?
Big Mom, watching, her eyes lit up; there was no mistake, absolutely no mistake, Kevin must possess a monstrous physique just like Big Mom's.
"You actually injured Kevin."
Gion could not suppress the flames on her body, transforming into a Haki phoenix.
Stussy transformed into a Thunder God.
The Thunder God was larger than before.
"Unforgivable, you dared to injure Kevin."
"I will absolutely not let you off." Hancock, seeing this from not far away, no longer cared about Doflamingo, transforming into a furious state, she rushed rapidly towards Buddha Sengoku.
Turbulent Conqueror's Haki.
Vaguely Entanglement around her body.
Shaki watched this scene.
Her lips moved; they were all so excited, should she also say something?
"Boom!"
The three enraged individuals.
Simultaneously unleashed even greater power.
Sengoku, already at his limit, had no strength left to resist, like a dying dog before its death, rolling on the ground.
"Bang bang bang."
A few minutes later.
"Alright, he's about to die." Kevin stopped the three women.
Sending Sengoku off on his final journey won't be me, but you all.
The turbulent battlefield.
Suddenly grew quiet.
The Marine Vice Admirals, desperately trying to provide support, seemed to understand something, and powerlessly stopped their breakthrough attempts.
The sea was silent.
Everyone realized it.
In their line of sight, Sengoku, lying in a pool of blood, swayed unsteadily, and in everyone's view, he struggled to stand up.
He slowly straightened his twisted back.
It was the Fleet Admiral's last bit of dignity.
"Shaki, I'm leaving it to you," Kevin said, looking at Shaki.
The Fleet Admiral's blood and lifespan would be of great help to the Vampire Form Devil Fruit.
Kevin turned around.
He ignored Sengoku.
With his eyes reddened by blood, Sengoku's vision was blurry, and he vaguely saw Kevin turning away.
He was truly arrogant.
Having accomplished the unprecedented feat of killing a Fleet Admiral, he didn't even bother to glance at him one last time.
"Kevin!"
Sengoku suddenly roared Kevin's name: "Tell me, if this old man hadn't expelled you, would you have been a Marine?"
He was about to die.
Sengoku didn't want to die with regrets.
As much as he hated Kevin, he regretted it just as much.
For a year, he had constantly reflected on whether Kevin would have been a member of the Navy Recruit Camp and a future Marine if he hadn't spoken up.
If that were the case, how wonderful the Navy's future would have been.
"Perhaps," Kevin didn't know either.
The system had given him the option to establish the strongest female Pirate Crew, but there were actually two choices; he could also establish the strongest female Marine force.
It was a choice between the two.
Everything else was the same.
But Kevin had been expelled.
Naturally, he wouldn't choose the Navy again.
"Is that so...?" Sengoku understood.
He closed his eyes.
Then, a black cloth covered them. Shaki entered the black cloth and, after a few seconds, emerged with a trace of blood on her lips.
Fleet Admiral Buddha Sengoku, dead!
The entire process took 58 minutes.
Buddha Sengoku became the first Fleet Admiral in history to die at the hands of a pirate.
He also became the shortest-serving Fleet Admiral in history, having served only 459 days.
