291 Fusion Skill Showcase

The five-meter-high huge wave in the sea swallowed the whirlwind instantly, but soon, a force burst out.

Thanks to the diamond protection added by Jozu, the whirlwind wasn't directly destroyed by the powerful kinetic energy of the giant wave. Instead, it only weakened the whirlwind's movement speed somewhat.

After all, there's still considerable resistance in the water, but with Marco's phoenix flame attached, the whirlwind's power remains at its peak.

Jinbei initially believed that his waves had crushed the whirlwind, but then he saw countless sword slash cutting through the waves.

The whirlwind surged out of the waves towards Jinbei, prompting him to counterattack immediately.

They watched as Jinbei placed one hand on his waist and clenched the other into a fist, facing straight ahead. His fist gathered formidable power, ready to strike the moment the whirlwind approached.

"Gosenmaigawara Seiken!"

Jinbei punched out with powerful force, sending it along with a large amount of seawater.

Jinbei's proud move, the Gosenmaigawara Seiken, also known as the 5000 Brick Fist, is capable of crushing 5,000 tiles in a single blow. It delivers a 360-degree impact without any blind spots.

In the water, the power of this move increases exponentially, and its impact swiftly collides with their blended whirlwind.

When these two powerful techniques collided, a strong air current erupted, instantly stirring up a storm on the sea.

"What a powerfull force."

The Whitebeard Pirates' crew stepped back, watching the astonishing scene from a distance, and letting out a series of amazed exclamations.

Even Whitebeard was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Marco, Vane, Jozu and Vista would actually succeed in fusing their skills. It was a fusion of four people at once.

However, this fusion isn't solely about strength; it's about combining their unique traits. So, in terms of sheer power alone, it might not be enough to surpass Jinbei in the sea.

That's why Whitebeard chose Jinbei to test them. Jinbei's strength happened to be comparable to theirs.

"These guys are doing great, seems like they've trained hard" 

Whitebeard remarked, very pleased by their effort.

The eruption continued, causing a huge wind pressure over the sea, and all the sword slashes in the whirlwind dispersed instantly.

Continuously weakening Jinbei's Gosenmaigawara Seiken, the whirlwind attached to the diamond membrane spun like a top, intensifying the impact.

Jinbei's punches, although to a certain extent, instantly destroyed most of the whirlwind's power, but with the blessing of the flame of phoenix, the whirlwind is constantly repairing.

The confrontation evolved into a continuous battle, with Jinbei having the geographical advantage and a steady supply of seawater to use. He wasn't afraid of prolonged fighting.

"Darn it, I shouldn't have gone head-on," Marco couldn't help but feel regretful.

Using Charles Vane's whirlwind as the base, the three of them added their powers to it. However, the main determining factor of this combined attack power was Charles Vane.

Charles Vane's whirlwind still lacks intuitive attack power, and due to the need for stability in fusion skills, he couldn't unleash his maximum power at all.

Unless they undergo continuous training later on, they can only maintain this level of power for now. This time, Charles Vane has already pushed himself beyond what they normally train to.

The unique technique they developed through hard work couldn't match up to Jinbei in direct combat, leaving Marco a bit dissatisfied.

Even if the four of them fought against Jinbei individually, Marco thought they would fare better than the effect of this fusion technique and could potentially defeat Jinbei directly.

However, despite Marco and their fusion skills being slightly weakened, they weren't completely obliterated. With the flame of phoenix, they could still continue to unleash impacts.

"It's really difficult for fusion skills to have this kind of impact," 

Jinbei also sighed. His powerful blow managed to neutralize most of the opponents' four skills.

But they weren't completely defeated, leaving Jinbei in a relatively passive situation, as Marco and the others, except Charles Vane, still had more tricks up their sleeves.

In other words, apart from Charles Vane's control, Marco and the others don't need to do anything further. If they were in an actual combat situation, they could attack Jinbei directly.

Jinbei is still exerting strength at this moment. Once he stops, he might be immediately attacked by the whirlwind.

"This is too difficult," 

Jinbei couldn't help but say. It was the first time he had encountered such a technique, one that could be continuously repaired and maintained its power consistently.

However, if there's a strong enough force, it can be destroyed directly, leaving no chance for repair.

It's a pity that Jinbei doesn't possess this level of power. After all, this fusion skill involves four people. Instantly destroying it would require several times their power.

In response, Jinbei had to use his other hand as well, delivering another powerful punch. However, since he didn't have enough time to accumulate strength...

Therefore, this Gosenmaigawara Seiken only had a fraction of its usual strength. However, after this blow, Jinbei managed to regain control of Charles Vane's whirlwind to suppress it.

Although it hadn't been destroyed yet, it had significantly weakened the whirlwind's strength. This weakening couldn't be repaired.

Jinbei's expression relaxed considerably. The remaining threat, which could slowly dissipate over time, didn't pose much of a concern to him.

"It looks like even Jinbei can't handle our fusion technique" 

Charles Vane remarked with some regret, feeling disappointed at the outcome.

"What's the matter, underestimating Jinbei in the sea?" 

Marco immediately shouted at him.

Jinbei leaped up from the sea and said to them with a firm tone: "I didn't expect your fusion techniques to be so remarkable. It's truly impressive."

"Hey, it would be better if we had more time to develop it," 

Vista said regretfully. He felt that the time they had spent together was still too short.

After all, this fusion technique has never been used in a fight before. Even someone with combat experience, mastering it will require a lot of time and effort.

However, this real combat exercise was in front of Whitebeard, with many crew members witnessing their failure to showcase the full potential of the fusion techniques. All four of them felt a bit disappointed.

"The strength can still be improved, mainly because doesn't have enough power," 

Jozu added.

Seeing them all lost in thought, Whitebeard comes over to comfort them.

"You all did exceptionally well. Coming up with this fusion skill on your own shows great initiative. I underestimated you" 

Whitebeard praised.

"Oyaji, our time to master it is still too short. We'll definitely be able to use it well in the future!"
