390. Old G vs New G

Buggy's battle against Whitebeard continues and it gets even bigger now. They are destroying the island slowly and even threatening the surrounding islands with the effects of their battle. The strong impacts of their battle are reaching nearby islands, after all.

Massive waves, strong shockwaves, & tremors are the main effects that reach the islands. People even start evacuating from their islands to avoid unwanted results. That's just how scary their battle is to normal people.

But their crews are still chilling on Moby Dick while watching them fight. They have stopped fighting completely because their Captains' battle is disrupting them. So now they just watch while cheering on their Captains.

They are still on high alert though because they are staying very close to the sources of this catastrophe. No one in the crew is confident they can handle the direct impact of this battle. So they need to stay alert and prepare to leave anytime.

Buggy and Whitebeard are exchanging deadly moves one after another. They use everything they have in every clash. Physical power, Devil Fruit abilities, all 3 types of Haki, battle skills, instinct, everything. They squeeze themselves to let out every bit of their power now.

Whitebeard is grinning widely all the time because he enjoys this so much. No one has given him such a fight since his last battle against Roger. Buggy is also very excited though because he finally can fight the man who leads this era alone.

"What's wrong, kid? Your blows are getting weaker," says Whitebeard while grinning.

"Isn't it your sense that becomes duller, old man? You can't even tell that my attacks are getting stronger and stronger," says Buggy while grinning too.

"Oh, my bad, it's my attacks that get stronger, so yours feel weaker," says Whitebeard while slashing his Bisento down.

"See? You are getting senile now, geezer," says Buggy while swinging his swords up in a cross shape.

Both Buggy's and Whitebeard's weapons are coated by Haki and their Devil Fruit abilities. Their attacks hit each other despite their weapons aren't touching each other. They are really using all their power in this clash now.

Everyone can feel a very strong pressure falling upon them. Even those with great power and Conqueror Haki like Cricket get overwhelmed by this pressure. This is not just the effect of the Conqueror Haki clash, this is an effect of the world collapsing.

Even the Marines who stay far enough feel this super strong pressure. The weaker members of Marines & Pirate crews are falling one by one from the pressure. Even the stronger members and executives are having a hard time holding themselves straight.

The island can't even hold the effect of their clash anymore. Everything on Buggy's side is getting cut into cubes as if this is Minecraft. While everything on Whitebeard's side is getting destroyed into rubble. The island is collapsing and it will truly become uninhabitable after this.

"Damn, this is ridiculous. Something like this comes from 2 men?" asks Enel in disbelief.

"Yeah, this is very unbelievable. This might be the first time Pops use this much power in his whole life. At the very least, this is the most powerful battle he ever did since I joined his crew," says Vista.

"I also never saw our Captain use this much power, and I am his First Mate," says Cricket.

"It seems they are surpassing their limits in this battle. Damn, I can't believe he is younger than me, yoi," says Marco.

Everyone looks at the battle again and sees that the only place left intact is where the 2 monsters clash just now. Other places have been destroyed and they are sinking as seawater fills the gaps between the destroyed ground parts.

Both Buggy and Whitebeard look at each other with menacing grins. Then blood comes out of Buggy's nostrils and Whitebeard's mouth. Their bodies have been injured even though none of their attacks truly landed on their opponents.

It's just that the effects of their clashes are too great even for them. They are the ones causing all those destructions, so they are actually the closest to the source of destruction, their clashes. So their bodies received all the impacts of their clashes directly.

Both of them are even staggering because they are getting tired and their bodies are damaged. They are the embodiment of the saying of their bodies can't match their talents. They are too powerful even for their bodies which doesn't make sense but strangely happens.

"You look tired, old man. Why don't you stop now?" asks Buggy while grinning.

"Hah, you wish," says Whitebeard firmly.

Both of them continue their battle and none of them are avoiding each other's attacks. The Clown and Whitebeard Pirates know that their Captains are enjoying this battle so much because they only try to overpower each other instead of just trying to win this battle.

If they want to win, then they will need to evade their opponent's attacks and counter. But they don't do it and just keep clashing directly. They fight something people called a Men's battle by not avoiding each other's attacks and taking everything head-on.

It's a high-risk battle, but it's also the most satisfying battle. Besides, every battle they have is a high-risk battle because they always put their lives on the line. But there's no battle more satisfying than this kind of battle for them.

Both of them are standing on top of this world's power. So for them, this kind of battle is the most appropriate to decide the winner because the result of this battle will become the true Strongest Man in The World, and maybe the Strongest Living Being alive.

Big names all over the world have heard about this battle. So their attention is now drawn to it and they keep observing the battle through their men. They can't watch the battle, but they try their best to keep updated because the result of this battle will decide this era's direction.

The new generation born in The Great Age of Pirates who grew in power very fast vs the old generation who conquered the sea even before The Great Age of Pirates are fighting to decide who will be the one ruling this Great Era of Pirates.

But Buggy & Whitebeard who become the center of attention don't care about such a thing. They only enjoy their battle because this is one of the greatest battles in their whole lives. For them who enjoy battles, this is also one of the best moments in their lives.

They keep attacking and taking each other's attacks without taking any step back. None of them can overpower the other yet. They stay equal for quite a long time and it makes everyone else wonder where their energy and power come from because they seem endless.

But everything will surely come to an end, including their seemingly endless battle. Buggy and Whitebeard have been clashing for a whole day with the same intensity without catching any break between. They are tired and injured badly, but they are still as powerful as when they have just started.

However, their age difference can't be hidden and their desire to win this battle is also different. Buggy has more desire because of his young blood and he is braver to use deadlier or riskier attacks. It doesn't mean Whitebeard doesn't have a great desire to win, but Buggy's desire is just stronger because this is his ambition for years.

The fire in Buggy's eyes is stronger and it makes him able to release more power in their next clash. Buggy & Whitebeard use all their power and skills in this clash. They get into a stalemate, but then Whitebeard's hands are pushed a little.

That little push becomes a game changer though because it breaks Whitebeard's momentum. Buggy uses this chance and squeezes everything left in him. Whitebeard tries to hold it, but he fails, and Buggy's attack passes through.

His twin Kopis swords cut through Whitebeard's Bisento that gets coated by the old man's devil fruit ability. The 2 swords keep moving in opposite directions after cutting the bisento. Silence falls in the battleground before suddenly Whitebeard's body gets cut in half.
