82 What does it mean to be the strongest?
"Cough Cough Argh~"
Bullet coughed violently, blood spilling from his mouth uncontrollably.
As Whitebeard released his arm, Bullet slipped to the ground, clutching his stomach, unable to stand up for a while.
"Guurarara~"
"Are you going to continue this meaningless battle?"
Whitebeard said calmly.
"I will definitely defeat you and claim the title of the world's strongest man!"
Bullet growled defiantly.
Ignoring the reluctant pain, he jumped up, rushed to the shore of the bay, and slammed the ground with a fist.
Boom!
There was a loud noise.
He saw the ground tremble and break apart.
Then a massive battleship, made of steel in pitch black colour, appeared in front of everyone.
"Next comes the real decisive battle!"
Bullet roared.
In one swift motion, he leaped onto the battleship.
A burst of purple light erupted from his hands, enveloping the entire battleship.
The process will take some time.
And then Bullet disappeared.
Instead, the battleship transformed into a humanoid figure, and the steel machine stood in front of everyone.
"What kind of power is this?"
Luffy stood nearby, shocked.
"Bullet ate the Clank-Clank Fruit, which grants him the ability to combine with various warships and matter!"
Marco on the side explained, and added another sentence: "After Bullet uses his combined ability and merges with the battleship, his strength will far exceed what it was before!"
"What about Uncle Whitebeard?"
Luffy asked with concern
"Don't worry, Pops is much stronger than that. He'll be just fine!"
Ace smiled without worry, confident in Whitebeard strength.
"Yes!"
The other division commanders nodded in agreement.
In their hearts, their father is invincible, so no matter how strong Bullet becomes, he still can't be a match for their old man.
During the discussion, Bullet launched an attack.
The combined Bullet, like a massive robot, swung its huge arm and smashed it toward Whitebeard.
"Guurarara~"
"Bullet kid, are you finally going to use all your power for real?"
Whitebeard laughed heartily.
Finish speaking, Whitebeard's overwhelming and majestic Haki erupted from his body. It centered on his position, sweeping in all directions, and enveloped all the pirates pirates
Feel the power of this overwhelming Haki.
The people present widened their eyes, feeling cold sweat slipping from their foreheads.
"Bullet has used his final card, and now Whitebeard will have to be serious and show the world who has the most strength!"
"The world's top battle broke out. Can Bullet defeat Whitebeard and become the world's strongest man?"
"This war may change the course of the world!"
Everyone whispered, wiping cold sweat from their foreheads in anticipation.
Boom!
At that moment, Bullet raised his fist.
The huge steel fist made a violent sound as it broke through the air.
Even from a distance, people could feel the force of the terrible blow.
"Here we go!"
Hawkeye's eyes narrowed.
Looking at Whitebeard under the shadow of the giant fist, Hawkeye wondered how Whitebeard would respond.
Just when people thought Whitebeard would avoid it
Whitebeard stood his ground, not moving an inch!
"No way?"
Everyone was in disbelief as they witnessed Whitebeard's unyielding stance, and a crazy thought crossed their minds
"Whitebeard doesn't want to confront Bullet head-on, right?"
This thought emerged, and everyone was taken aback.
Taking a quick look, they found that their guess was correct!
When the giant fist came crashing down.
Whitebeard didn't avoid it at all!
Instead, he covered his fists with Armament Haki and met the giant steel fist head-on, much to everyone's shock.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, an invisible shockwave rippled out and swept the surroundings.
The billowing smoke filled the air, blocking people's sight and making it impossible to see what was happening inside.
"I wonder who will come out on top in this confrontation?"
"It's possible that Whitebeard might have lost, considering the power behind Bullet blow."
"That's right, with his fruit ability, Bullet's strength has greatly increased."
Even if Whitebeard is the world's strongest, it won't be easy in this fist fight.
Amidst the crowd, a group of unknown pirates began to whisper among themselves.
But before they could finish their discussion, the smoke started to clear, and the scene before them became visible again.
All eyes were fixed on the scene.
In horror, they witnessed the scene unfolding before their eyes.
Under the giant fist of Bullet, they saw something astonishing.
Whitebeard withstood the punch and stood firm under the giant fist!
No matter how hard Bullet tried, he couldn't force down Whitebeard's figure.
"How can it be?!"
The people present were horrified.
Unexpectedly, Bullet's fist had no effect and was easily resisted by Whitebeard.
"Bullet!"
A low voice came from Whitebeard's mouth.
The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit exploded, surging toward the giant fist like a raging wave.
Boom!
With a thunderous roar.
The air burst instantly, creating shockwaves.
The terrible vibration force shook Bullet's huge body continuously.
Faced with this mighty force.
The ground under Bullet feet shattered.
The huge body couldn't resist and kept backing away.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After stepping back on the ground for a while,
The huge body fell to the ground!
At the same time, cracks appeared in the huge fist.
Obviously, in the collision just now, Whitebeard not only forced Bullet back but also shattered Bullet mechanical body!
Silence filled the air.
Hawkeye, Doflamingo, Byrnndi World, Jack the Drought, and everyone else was stunned by what they had witnessed.
Everyone stared at Whitebeard in utter disbelief, struggling to process the incredible feat they had just witnessed. It was as if they couldn't believe their own eyes.
"Is this real?"
"After Bullet used his fruit ability, he still couldn't do anything to Whitebeard?"
"What a joke, he shredded the combined robotic arm with just one punch, how strong is Whitebeard!"
The people were so horrified that they cried out in shock.
"What a devastating blow!"
The future Marine Admiral Fujitora, Issho, was stunned by the turn of events.
"Is Whitebeard at his peak state really this formidable?"
Jack, the Drought Disaster, was dripping with cold sweat in fear.
He couldn't wait to leave immediately and pass the news to Kaido.
"Too strong, incredibly strong!"
The injured supernova was completely dumbfounded.
They had expected Bullet's fruit ability to give Whitebeard a tough fight.
But reality had other plans, and it delivered a harsh reality check to everyone.
Letting them know the true meaning of being the strongest in the world!
The strongest in the world is someone who can easily crush any opponent, no matter their posture or abilities!
