Chapter 148: Challenge The Strongest In The World! Mighty Whitebeard!
After Hody Jones is solved, everything in Fishman Island is over.
In the next few days, Hephaestus gave Shirahoshi a few days to say goodbye to her mother, and at the same time told her several big brothers about her upcoming departure, and then left the Fishman Island by boat.
Originally, it was very difficult for the previous ships to carry the huge Shirahoshi.
However, Hephaestus used a divine technique to shrink Shirahoshi's body, so that she can stabilize in this form in the future, which is undoubtedly a lot more convenient.
The girl was also very satisfied with her new body, but when she left, she still let out a cry of reluctance.
Even so, she has not backed down from the constituency.
Passing through the dark seabed, Yami and his party officially entered the new world.
The new world belongs to the second half of the Grandline. If the first half of the Grandline is called a paradise, then the new world is the real paradise for pirates.
A large number of powerful pirates gather here, and many even the navy can't do anything about them.
And when some weak pirates come here, if they are not careful, they will be destroyed by the worse weather. Even if they survived by luck, other murderous pirates will also clear them out.
This is a paradise for the strong, but also a meat grinder for the weak.
Many pirates were deliberately put into the new world by the navy, just to let the pirates fight each other to achieve the purpose of reducing the number of pirates, but even so, the pirates in this sea are still emerging endlessly, and they are becoming more and more powerful and difficult to deal with.
But the top few pirates haven't changed since the death of the Pirate King Roger.
The purpose of Yami's coming to the New World is for these sea emperors.
He couldn't confirm whether he could make the final evaluation reach S after defeating the last boss of this world, so just in case, it would be safer to defeat one or two Four Emperors.
What's more, if he wants to accumulate ability points now, it is probably faster to fight with the Four Emperors.
After traveling all the way, the interest of Hephaestus has also been dispelled. If you want to visit the entire pirate world, I am afraid it will take several years. Even a ship with the blessing of sacred characters will take at least a year to do.
She doesn't want to waste so much time in this world, so far, the places she has visited are enough.
As for the rest, save it for later when she is interested, and she can bring other members of her familia, even Hestia, and experience it slowly!
Ever since, after everyone's total consideration, they decided to go straight to the point.
The ships engraved with the sacred characters were driven with all it's strength, and almost no one could catch up with that speed. Even if the ships encountered along the way, they could only see a black shadow flashing by. What exactly passed by? People with observation haki don't know at all, they can only see the white waves splashing up.
Several hours later, even Yami didn't know where he came to.
However, his observation haki suddenly caught the appearance of many auras.
Hephaestus apparently also noticed this situation. Even if she chose to slow down, the blurred scenery around her finally reappeared, and the huge whale-headed ship in the distance was also printed in her eyes.
"Whaleship? I didn't expect to meet that guy here. What a surprise!"
Yami, who was drowsy because of controlling the direction, yawned, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and then a dazzling light flashed in his eyes.
In the new world, there is only one pirate group on this kind of ship.
That is Whitebeard who is known as "the strongest man in the world" among the Four Emperors, and that huge whale ship is his ship, the Moby Dick.
"The strongest man in the world? I really have some expectations. I don't know how it compares with my previous opponents."
In his previous life, Yami also yearned for Whitebeard's boldness, and admired his willingness to face death in order to save his son.
This kind of man does possess an indescribable charisma.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to gather such a large group of pirates and make many pirates willingly become his sons.
"The strongest man in the world? Are you going to fight him?"
Hephaestus also showed a curious expression on her face. Being able to be called 'the strongest man in the world' must have its own uniqueness!
She just doesn't know, will the other party have the advantage of being appreciated by the gods?
"Of course, I'm sorry to trouble you, Hephaestus-sama. I originally planned to go to Kaido, but since I met Whitebeard first, it's the same so I want to try how powerful the 'World's Strongest Man' guy is. " Yami said excitedly.
"Ah, I see."
Hearing this sentence, Hephaestus did not stop her, but re-activated the sacred text, and the ship that had slowed down speeded up again, and quickly approached the Moby Dick.
Meanwhile, Moby Dick boards.
An extremely tall man was sitting on a chair, holding an equally huge long nagita in his left hand, his gaze echoing on all the children in front of him, with a gentle smile on his face.
"Um?!"
Suddenly, his observation haki seemed to sense something, and he subconsciously looked towards the sea, only to see a black shadow approaching in their direction, moving at a fast speed, and the turbulent waves that were raised made the originally calm sea start to boil.
This made Whitebeard who had been peaceful for a long time have a haughty arc on his mouth, and then he laughed heartily.
"Gu la la la la la, silly sons, calm down and get ready to welcome guests!"
"Father, is anyone here?" Marco asked quickly.
Whitebeard remained calm, nodded lightly and said: "Ah, although I don't know the specific identity, it is indeed a powerful existence.'
"It must be some brats who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and want to challenge you, father!"
"Absolutely. After all, Oyaji is the 'world's strongest man'. I don't know how many people try to defeat Oyaji to reach the sky. We have seen many such guys."
"That's right, but Dad won't lose, because he's Whitebeard!"
"That's right!!!"
Incomparably loud cheers sounded immediately, filling the entire Moby Dick.
Affected by this kind of words, even Whitebeard showed a proud smile on his face, and said with a loud laugh: "That's right, I'm Whitebeard!"
rumbling
As soon as his voice fell, a very terrifying conqueror haki suddenly came from the sky.
Some of the members of the Whitebeard Pirates who were obviously still laughing before, suddenly stopped laughing under the washing of this terrifying conqueror aura, rolling their eyes and directly fainting to the ground.
As for the rest of the guys who are still able to stay awake, they are also standing there with horror on their faces.
Such a terrifying domineering look is simply too terrifying.
They have only seen it on two people, one is their father, and the other is the newly promoted Four Emperors, Shanks, and the conqueror aura in front of them is not weaker than them at all!
"Kid, this is my territory. Didn't your parents teach you how to be polite?"
Whitebeard's expression froze, and the same incomparably powerful conqueror haki shot out instantly, colliding with the conqueror haki spreading from a distance.
Red and black lightning formed instantly, and the terrifying impact almost overturned everyone on the Moby Dick.
The sky suddenly turned black, and the clouds began to surge wildly. Even the sea water was greatly affected at this time. The sea currents collided with each other, stirring up waves all over the sky.
Now, more people were stunned in the competition of Conqueror Haki.
"As expected of Whitebeard, then let me try your depth!"
Yami leaped high from the ship, pulled out the black sword at his waist with excitement on his face, descended from the sky, and slashed fiercely at Whitebeard's position.
The latter also showed a haughty smile, jumped up with one step, and even the Moby Dick was shaken by this force.
"Come, boy!"
clang!
Their weapons collided fiercely, and an even more exaggerated impact spewed out again, and the collision with all their strength wiped out all the clouds in the sky.
The two men, one big and one small, tried their best to push each other back.
However, the result is that neither side can do anything to the other.
After a short period of surprise, a long-lost smile appeared on Whitebeard's face. This kind of enthusiasm has not appeared for a long time. The boy who suddenly appeared in front of him gave him the feeling Roger gave him. It feels the same, just as powerful!
!!!
The huge force suddenly exploded, and Yami and Whitebeard were blown away one after another.
The two landed on each other's ship, stood firmly, and looked up at each other with more or less obvious expressions of excitement.
And the other people around them seemed to have completely disappeared at this moment.
"Gu la la la la la, I really didn't expect that even brats are already so scary now? It really makes me feel ashamed to see you have such strength at such a young age!"
"I didn't expect that you are almost seventy years old but still have such a strong strength. Whitebeard. So let me introduce myself, my name is Yami, and I am here today to challenge you."
The black sword in his hand fell naturally, and the blade trembled uncontrollably during the speech.
As if sensing a powerful enemy, the blade in his hand couldn't help buzzing.
"It's been a long time since a brat like you has appeared. Did you come here for my position as the Four Emperors? In the past, there were many brats like you, all of whom were slaughtered by me, and their bodies were thrown into the sea to feed sea kings. Do you want to be one of them too?"
Whitebeard's words are extremely oppressive, and ordinary people don't even have the courage to speak in front of him.
"I'm not here for such a boring thing, I just want to beat you, that's all!"
"Then come brat. It's just been a long time since I haven't had any activities, and I'm a little bored. I hope you, a brat, can relieve me a little bit!"
No matter when, his words are so arrogant!
Yami knew very well that this was Whitebeard's speaking style, and he didn't care about it. On the contrary, he was already a little bit impatient for it at this time.
"The place here is too small, not enough for us to fight. If we fight here, I'm afraid that besides you, your sons will be affected by the fluctuations of the battle and few would survive by then so let's find a suitable battle venue first!"
Isn't it just arrogance?
What Yami lacks most is the proficiency in trash talking. In his previous life, he was known as the "Keyboard King Warrior", and he defended his family on the Internet all year round!
Whitebeard can't compare!
"Arrogant brat, if you lose later, don't kneel down and beg for mercy!" Whitebeard said with a smile.
"Dad, there's an island ahead."
I don't know who yelled such a voice, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Not far from here, the outline of an isolated island gradually came into view.
"Kid, do you need me to take you there?"
"You'd better take care of yourself, lest you fall into the sea due to lack of energy on the way, and you will need your own sons to rescue you at that time, it would be a shame."
"Gu la la la, I hope your mouth will be as hard as it is now."
After finishing speaking, the corner of Whitebeard's mouth showed a smile, and then he jumped vigorously, and the whole person flew into the air in an instant, and leaped towards the direction of the isolated island.
The huge force even caused the Moby Dick to sink a lot.
Yami did not rush to follow, but turned his head and said to Hephaestus beside him: "Hephaestus-sama, I will go there first."
"Ah, go, I'll come over to watch the battle later."
After getting the permission, Yami no longer hesitated, and jumped up with all his strength.
"Moonwalk‧Aerial Walk!"
Unlike Whitebeard's long-distance leap, Yami seemed to be stepping on some kind of object in mid-air, and walked towards the Island without haste.
When he arrived, he saw that Whitebeard had been standing on the ground waiting for a long time.
Without further hesitation, Yami landed directly on the ground, and stood opposite Whitebeards. They both looked at each other with a strong fighting intent in their eyes.
"Be careful, old man, I won't hold back."
"Come, you impolite brat." Whitebeard clenched his right hand holding his weapon, standing proudly, but the fighting spirit on his body was getting stronger and stronger.
Seeing this, Yami is no longer reserved, and the first to attack!
Running the magic power in his body, he pushed his legs hard on the ground, and a huge reaction force erupted instantly. He rushed towards Whitebeard at high speed, and the black sword in his hand became more and more darker at this time.
"Take this!"
"HAA!!"
Whitebeard shouted, raised his weapon suddenly, and slashed down with both arms.
clang!
The crisp impact sounded again, the ground couldn't bear this majestic weight, and it sank immediately, and the two fought against each other again to be evenly matched.
Today's Whitebeard is not as old as ten years later, and he can still suppress the hidden wounds in his body. Although his strength has begun to decline, he is still at the peak of his life.
Therefore, Yami couldn't help feeling more and more frightened when he felt the huge force.
"As expected of the 'World's Strongest Man', it's amazing, but I won't lose."
"Gu la la la, brat, sometimes the outcome is not in your own hands. If you want to defeat me, you are still 20 years too early. Whitebeard cannot be defeated by everyone!"
After saying this, Whitebeard suddenly exerted strength.
Yami only felt a huge force coming, and the monster-like power instantly suppressed him.
The next moment, Whitebeard waved his weapon again, directly attacking Yami's arm.
"Don't underestimate me, Whitebeard!" Yami also roared angrily, swiping his black sword vigorously.
Clang! Clang!!! Clang!!!
Two disproportionate long weapons, one long and one short, crazily collided together. The huge force forced the whole island to tremble, the ground cracked, and a large number of trees suffered from the collision.
Unable to resist this terrible impact, trees were uprooted and flew a long distance along the shock wave.
At the same time, the beasts on the island seemed to be frightened, and began to run around.
There was a huge wave on the sea, which was like the end of the world. All the people who didn't go to the island but stayed on the ship to watch the battle couldn't help but feel shocked.
Their mouths wide open.
"F@CK!! It's him!!"
"That kid is the 'God Slayer' who killed a Celestial Dragon and severely injured Kizaru and Aokiji before. I didn't expect him to have the same strength as the old man. It's really amazing!"
"Now is not the time to think about these things. Everyone hastened to control the hull. It will be troublesome if we get caught in it. The boy over there put the sails up!"
There was a sudden panic on board the Moby Dick.
