Sakura Dance!

"Boom..."

On the top of the treasure house, chunks of mud boulders fell down without stopping.

It can be seen that Will's slash just now caused serious damage to the structure of this treasure house and it probably won't be long before this place will completely collapse.

Will and Whitebeard, who were still in the treasure house, exchanged glances with each other. 

There was infinite fighting intent in each other's eyes. Neither of them had any intention of retreating at all. 

"Crackling!"

Lightning arcs flashed around Will as his appearance slowly started changing.

The traits that belong to humans were fading and the characteristics of a dragon were emerging. 

"Is this the dragon-man form?"

Whitebeard stared at Will's face opposite him, slightly taken aback.

He has seen Kaido's dragon-man form before. And it doesn't look too different from Will's.

But Will's dragon-man form gave him a strange feeling. 

It was as if Kaido's form was inferior to Will's.

But Whitebeard quickly dismissed the idea. Now was not the time to think about these things.

Meanwhile Will on the opposite side, after completing the dragon-man form, did not stop.

Dense and violent thunder and lightning surged crazily, converging outside his body surface.

Soon an armor made up of thunder and lightning was formed!

He held Ame no Habakiri and Enma, which were also entangled in lightning with both hands, and pointed them at the ground obliquely, as a pair of bright dragon eyes glowing with lightning, stared closely at Whitebeard opposite.

Although it seemed to have taken a very long time, but these series of actions were completed in just a few seconds. 

The corner of Whitebeard's mouth grinned, and the Murakumogiri in his hand flipped around a few times, and finally the blade pointed directly at Will.

"Let me see if the top-level phantom beast Brontodragon fruit can withstand my attack!"

"Don't worry Whitebeard, it will not let you down!"

After a chuckle, Will took a sharp step forward with his left foot.

"boom!"

The ground directly collapsed, forming a small crater around his feet and the lightning on Will's body jumped around even more joyfully.

"Crackling..."

"Unlimited Lightning Slash!"

A pair of dragon eyes flashed a blazing white light, and then, his hands moved!

Enma and Ame no Habakiri also followed his actions!

"Swish, swish, swish..."

In an instant, he swung the swords countless times, and every time he swung his sword, a slash appeared, and went straight to Whitebeard's position.

Whitebeard's eyes narrowed slightly, as he observed the slashes. They were like lightning strikes, extremely fast!

They were already in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Although he was vigilant, he still snorted coldly in disdain, this level of attack was not enough to pose a threat to him. 

"Break for me! "

He shouted sharply and slashed down with Murakumogiri at the oncoming attacks. 

There was also a white halo on the blade. That was the Shock Fruit's ability!

"boom!"

All the Lightning Slashes were shattered with a single blow. 

"Hmph, is this all you have ?"

Saying so, he slashed out again, shattering the next slash. 

But, soon he started frowning. 

After he shattered all those lightning slashes, the thunder and lightning scattered in the air actually spread along his naginita and reached his arm, giving him a slight numbness.

Although this didn't have much impact on him immediately but the effects started to pile up as he shattered several Thunder Slashes one after another.

Whitebeard's heart sank suddenly.

"This guy is so calculating!"

The numbness on his body has become more and more serious, which has already affected his movements to a certain extent.

"Did you find it?"

"No, it should be said that you have discovered it a long time ago, but with your temper, you didn't bother to care about it at the beginning. Am I right or am I right? "

"And this is likely to put you in crisis!"

Although Will stopped slashing, but he didn't intend to stay in place and wait.

"boom!"

A cloud of dust and gravel exploded from the ground beneath his feet as he disappeared directly from his place.

"So fast!"

Whitebeard's pupils shrank, this guy's speed was too fast for his naked eyes to catch!

Whitebeard instinctively activated his Observation Haki at full strength and soon found Will's figure. 

There was mockery in Whitebeard's eyes: "Your speed ​​is not worth mentioning in front of me!"

"Boom!"

He inserted Murakumogiri into the ground, raised his arms, and his fists were shrouded in a white halo. 

"drink!"

Accompanied by his low drink, his fists hit the air beside him heavily.

"Crack․..."

The space shattered like a mirror.

And Will, who was advancing at a high speed, felt a chill in his heart.

A strong crisis enveloped his whole body, making his hair stand on end!

"Danger!"

His intuition told him that if he continued to move forward, he would be attacked by Whitebeard's Shock Fruit ability.

And the brief future images that flashed through his mind also confirmed this guess.

"Should I dodge?... No! "

Such thought emerged in his mind but he dismissed the idea in an instant!

Thunder flashes in the eyes!

"boom!"

In the next moment, the lightning armor on his body shone brightly, and the ground trembled.

Will's figure accelerated once again, breaking through the sound barrier in an instant.

"boom!"

There was a boom in the air.

And at Will's previous position just now, the space shattered and spread around. 

If he had slowed down even a little or tried to retreat, the consequences would not have been very good.

"This guy is really ruthless and decisive!"

Whitebeard was also taken aback by Will's move because he didn't expect him to proceed forward and not retreat. 

"Swish! "

But, Will didn't give him a chance to react.

The moment he appeared in front of the other party, Enma and Ame no Habakiri in his hands slashed down mercilessly!

"So fast!"

The thought popped into Whitebeard's mind again.

But the movement of his hands did not stop.

Grabbing Murakumogiri beside him, he swept it away vigorously, and went straight to Will's waist, trying to trade injuries for injuries!

Will's eyes narrowed slightly, appreciating Whitebeard's boldness. 

"clang!"

Enma and Ame no Habakiri changed direction and hit Murakumogiri's knife.

The corners of Whitebeard's mouth twitched and a smile appeared on his face.

Just, the next moment!

Before the splashing sparks dissipated, Will had disappeared again.

Whitebeard's eyes widened. 

This guy! He is too fast!

"Where?"

Whitebeard probed with his Observation Haki. 

Suddenly, there was a whistling sound of breaking wind behind him and Whitebeard's heart chilled. 

It was too late to draw the knife, so he simply gave up Murakumogiri temporarily.

The thick arms instantly became pitch black due to Armament Haki and Whitebeard turned sideways and crossed his arms in front of his chest. 

"clang!"

Enma and Ame no Habakiri chopped on Whitebeard's arm, just like cutting on steel.

"Amazing Armament Haki!"

Will felt the counter-shock from his hand, after seeing that his attack didn't break the defense!

But Whitebeard was not having a good time either. 

Although the attack was blocked, it was also a waking call for him. 

If the opponent's attack had been just a little bit stronger, it was likely to have broken through his defense and cut off his arm!

"Swish *

Will disappeared again!

"Again?"

Whitebeard's heart skipped a beat!

"Dang... Ding..."

Will quickly flashed around Whitebeard, attacking continuously. 

Whitebeard was stuck in place the whole time.

But although he was a little embarrassed, Whitebeard blocked the attack just right every time Will attacked. 

"So strong!"

Will exclaimed in his heart. He had to admit that Whitebeard is really too strong!

It is true that Whitebeard's speed is indeed not as good as his own. But his combat experience, fighting consciousness, instinct...

These have long been integrated with his body.

Powerful physique, terrifying strength, highly developed Shock Fruit ability, super high Haki level...

All these things together, created the terrible monster named Whitebeard!

His strength is not on the same level as the terminally ill Roger that Will faced earlier. 

But the more so, the more excited Will was.

Only by fighting against such a strong person can he better promote his own growth.

"Boom..."

More and more rocks fell, burying most of the treasures.

But the battle between the two did not stop, and on the contrary escalated again.

"boom!"

With a slash from Will, Whitebeard flew backwards, and his feet plowed two tracks on the ground.

"Huff! "

Will let out a long breath.

The long and fierce offensive made his breath a little disordered.

But the rewards were huge too!

Fighting against someone as strong as Whitebeard, his progress is also visible to the naked eye.

Whether it is the control of strength or the use of moves, there has been a great improvement.

The important thing is that he has gradually adapted to the rhythm of fighting against the strong!

"Boom!"

Will took half a step forward with his left foot, stomped heavily on the ground, and crouched slightly.

Will suddenly closed his eyes and at the same time emptied his mind, as his momentum condensed.

"Crackling!"

Black and red lightning jumped around him.

After a few breaths, he suddenly opened his eyes, and the dragon's eyes were full of thunder.

He yelled, "Whitebeard, I'll send you to see Roger right now!"

"Dragon God Slash · Two Swords Style · Sakura Dance!"

Swinging both arms quickly, Enma and Ame no Habakiri left trails of cold light in the air.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The cold lights almost connected into one piece, reflecting the entire underground treasure house like daytime.

Will's momentum became stronger and stronger, and the frequency and frequency of waving his arms became faster and faster, and they finally turned into an afterimage.

Whitebeard's brows almost knit together in confusion. 

After Will made such a big declaration just now, he thought it would be some grandiose swordsmanship move.

Unexpectedly, although there was a lot of build up and momentum but in the end there was no movement at all except to create a little light.

"However, why is there a vague uneasiness?"

Whitebeard also didn't believe that Will would do something meaningless.

Suddenly, Will on the opposite side stopped moving.

He stood with a knife in each hand and looked towards Whitebeard calmly. 

He smiled lightly: "Whitebeard, you should admire the Sakura flowers!"

As Will's words fell, Whitebeard felt the wind blowing.

Immediately, countless pink Sakura flowers fluttered in the wind, blowing across his face, the touch felt slightly cool and refreshing. 

Things around him changed. 

He is no longer in the underground treasury with endless treasures.

The sun is warm, the breeze is blowing, and a Sakura flower is falling from the tree with the wind.

"Newgate, come drink with me!"

Under the Sakura tree, Roger sat cross-legged, holding a big bowl to invite him to drink.

Then a second person appeared. 

It was Oden!

"Dad, come and drink!"

Then Marko, Joz, Thatch, Vista, Rayleigh and others appeared. 

Watching a group of people laughing, drinking and chatting happily, there was a softness in Whitebeard's eyes which finally turned into a sigh.

"Such powerful swordsmanship, such a real illusion!"

"Boom!"

Obviously he didn't have anything in his hand, but when he held the air and punched it on the ground, there was a dull sound.

Then, Whitebeard took a step sideways with his left foot.

A sharp cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Crazy Dragon, don't use these illusory things to fool the old man!"

"Because... This old man is Whitebeard!"

Following his burst of shouting, his glowing fists hit the air beside him heavily.

"Crack..."

The space was broken like a mirror, and the cracks spread in all directions. 

The scene in front of him was also distorted, and the smiles and figures of Roger, Oden, Marco and others are also distorted.

The fluttering Sakura flowers froze. 

"Dad..."

When all illusions disappeared, Whitebeard returned to the underground vault.

As a matter of fact, he never left from the beginning to the end.

"Sigh! "

He took a long breath, but then realized something was wrong.

He reached out and touched his cheek.

He immediately felt pain and when he brought his hand in front of his eyes, he discovered that it was already covered in blood. 

"Am I hurt?!"

Looking down again, Whitebeard discovered that there were many small cut marks on his body, arms and other places, and blood was continuously oozing out.

The robe was also cut with many holes.

He immediately felt a chill in his heart.

"How come I didn't feel any pain just now?"

And the injured place, it's exactly where the falling Sakura flowers touched him in the illusion just now. 

"Could it be....!"

Whitebeard suddenly thought of a possibility.

If he didn't break free from the illusion just now, but had agreed to have a drink and chat with Roger, Oden, and Marko under the Sakura flowers. 

Then, will he....! 

Thinking of this, even he felt a chill in his heart.

Horrible! Terrible!

This mad dragon Will's swordsmanship is simply heaven-defying!
