399 Chapter 399: Blackbeard's ambition
Boom!!!
The sky and the earth shook.
It was very clear to Whitebeard that his opponent was extremely strong, so he was not going to hold back and Gura Gura no Mi's power was harnessed to the fullest.
At this moment, it was as if the whole sea was turned upside down.
The old and ailing Whitebeard, of course, was unable to fully demonstrate the strength of Gura Gura no Mi in the War of the Strongest, but even in this case, he was able to turn the entire sea around Marinford upside down, and now Whitebeard was almost at the peak of his strength!
As Sengoku said...
Whitebeard is capable of destroying the world!
Whitebeard's strongest attack, which is at its peak, is enough to destroy a large island.
There are many islands in this world, but if Whitebeard were to walk around the world, destroying all the islands in his path, sooner or later there would not be a single island left in the expanses of the sea.
For the world of One Piece, this is tantamount to the end of the world.
Klang! Klang!!!!
Yeruashi's sword collided with Whitebeard's Murakumogiri several times, scattering many flashs in all directions.
After another strike, Whitebeard's right hand released Murakumogiri and closed it into a fist.
Whitebeard's huge fist, wrapped in a white halo, rushed towards Yeruashi.
Crack!!!
The space in front of this fist was covered with spider web-like cracks, like the surface of a broken mirror, and a terrifying seismic force rushed towards Yeruashi, about to crush his body.
Feeling the enormous power of this strike from Whitebeard, Yeruashi vaguely felt emotions long forgotten.
The blood that had been dormant in his veins for so long seemed to gradually begin to stir.
"Dusk Elephant!"
Yeruashi also released his right hand and swung his fist, towards Whitebeard's punch.
Boom!!!
The air in front of Yeruashi's fist abruptly distorted and compressed, forming a huge column of compressed air, which collided with the force of Whitebeard's earthquake with a terrifying roar.
A huge network of cracks spread out from Yeruashi and Whitebeard's feet in all directions, and the island shuddered violently, as if threatening to shatter completely into pieces at any moment.
The retreating Whitebeard Pirates found it difficult to withstand the consequences of this collision, so they were forced to retreat even further, to Moby Dick, close to shore.
Whoosh!!!
Moby Dick bobbed on the raging waves.
"This guy blocked the potato punch with all his might..."
"He's a real monster!"
The eyes of Marco and the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates, who were still watching this battle from afar, were shaking violently.
There were only a few people in the expanses of the sea, such as Navy Hero Garp and Golden Roger, who could completely resist Whitebeard in a head-on collision!
And everyone else, including even monsters like Kaido Beast and Big Mama, as well as Admiral Buddha Sengoku, were unable to completely resist Whitebeard's strongest attacks!
Even if they are able to meet Whitebeard's blow with full force, it will still shake and throw their body.
But now...
The traveler fought Whitebeard head-on, forcefully restraining all of his attacks and not retreating even half a step!
This means only one thing...
The traveler really stands on the absolute top of the sea!
Off to one side, on the edge of Moby Dick's deck, stood a disheveled man with dark, rough skin and black hair wrapped in a bandanna.
He, like all the other Pirates of Whitebeard, watched the battle on the island closely.
It was Blackbeard Marshal D. Teach!
"Dad attacked with all his might, but this guy was able to completely contain Gura Gura no Mi's power..... Has Whitebeard already started to age?!"
"No..."
"Dad is as strong as ever, it's just that this Traveler is a real monster... so young, but already so strong..."
Many thoughts went through Teach's head.
Since the Golden Roger surrendered and was executed, and the Golden Lion was defeated in Marinford and imprisoned in Impel Down, Whitebeard was supposed to become absolutely invincible in the vastness of this sea, but not even a few years have passed, and a new legend has already appeared in the sea: the Traveler!
Teach could not easily believe in something like the destruction of Marinford and the Holy Land of Marijoa by the Traveler, because he did not see it personally, because who knows what the situation really was and what was happening behind the scenes.
But now his opinion has completely changed!
Having seen with his own eyes how the Traveler single-handedly destroyed John's Pirates and held back Whitebeard's blow with all his might, Teach was sure that the news was true!
With such power, He Traveler really could invade the Holy Land of Marijoa and Marinford alone, causing terrible destruction there!
"Such power... it can't be pure physical strength..."
"The Traveler must have an incredibly powerful devil fruit ability, it's just that I can't figure out what exactly this ability is..."
When Teach looked at Yeruashi, his eyes flashed with excessive greed and desire.
He longed for such power!
But Teach was well aware that there was no point in targeting the Traveler's ability, because given the age difference, he simply couldn't wait for him to grow old.
To master the sea, he must surpass Whitebeard.
But when he waits for Whitebeard to age, the Traveler will simply reach the top and take the vacant top of the sea with no problem!
Now there's a Traveler on his way to the top of the sea!
"Very strong..."
Watching the entire sea around the island become frantic due to the battle of the Traveler and Whitebeard, Blackbeard took a deep breath, calming the rising emotions.
It is impossible to obtain the power of the Traveler.
To overcome such a monster, he must first find Yami Yami no Mi, and then use this ability to obtain Whitebeard's Gura Gura no Mi.
With the two most powerful abilities of the devil fruit, he will definitely overcome the Traveler, becoming the true lord of this sea, no.... the master of this world!
"When will I finally find Yami Yami no Mi..."
Teach took a deep breath.
All of this might turn out to be just empty dreams.
After all, all of his goals and plans depended directly on whether he could obtain Yami Yami no Mi.
As Teach thought about it, the fierce battle on the island continued.
Yeruashi and Whitebeard abandoned close combat, began to gradually increase the distance and use more and more long-range attacks.
This made the battle not only louder, but also much bigger!
The numerous cherry blossoms blooming on this island were fluttering, creating a beautiful landscape, but no one could appreciate it, because the sea around was upside down.
One minute...
Two minutes...
Three minutes...
Time passed and the battle continued.
Half a day later.
In the center of Poison Sakura Island.
Whitebeard, who gripped Murakumogiri tightly with both hands, was breathing heavily and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
He took a deep breath and roared furiously, pushing Gura Gura no Mi's will to armor and strength to the limit.
Murakumogiri's sword was shrouded in a white halo.
Yeruashi hovered in the air in front of Whitebeard.
With a terrifying impulse, an immense and irresistible force burst forth from his body, and arcs of black, crackling lightning concentrated on the blade of the sword.
It was the product of Ryoton's fusion with the weapon will.
Whoosh!!!
Yeruashi's sword moved at the same time as Whitebeard's naginata.
A dazzling white glow illuminated the entire world.
Marco and the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates, still nervously watching the battle, instinctively closed their eyes.
The space in front of Yeruashi was enveloped in black lightning, and the space in front of Whitebeard was covered with a huge network of cracks, like a broken mirror.
A symmetrical pattern was formed, only the cracks on one side were white and on the other black.
It seemed that at this moment there were only two colors left in the whole world: black and white.
A terrifying roar swept across the raging sea, as if foreshadowing the imminent end of the world, and the entire Poison Sakura Island was covered with a huge network of deep cracks, with Yeruashi and Whitebeard in the center!
