Peak Showdown, World's Strongest (Thirteen) / Peak Showdown, World's Strongest (Fourteen)

Does this tell them that no matter how hard they try, they're nothing more than Monsters like Whitebeard, people they can easily deal with?

Even though Arthur had already foreseen this scene through his Observation Haki (A++) after unleashing his sword strike, he couldn't help but be astonished.

What a Monster!

No wonder Kaido suffered a complete defeat, being sunk into the sea along with the island by Whitebeard.

When Whitebeard's strength returned to its peak, he was truly the World's Strongest Monster in the world.

In the original work, even when Whitebeard's hidden ailment flared up and he was severely injured, his body, already at its limit, could still block a large foreign sailing ship with one hand.

Now, Whitebeard's superhuman strength is in no way inferior to that of 'BIG-MOM' Charlotte Linlin.

'Smack!'

With a slight exertion of his five fingers, Whitebeard's hand, wreathed in Armament Haki, crushed the massive golden sword completely.

'Buzz~ Click!!'

Following the principle of 'reciprocity,' after Whitebeard crushed Arthur's sword pressure, a transparent white light wave instantly appeared in his clenched fist, which struck Arthur from a short distance away.

The atmosphere broke apart, and numerous cracks spread rapidly.

'Boom--!'

The endless force of the shockwave, like a hurricane, completely shattered the already cracked earth.

In an instant, the entire Decalvan could only be described as shaking violently.

Because this area is relatively close to the coast, the force of the shock even caused Seaquake.

Wave after wave crashed against the rocks.

The water level is rising, and the sailboats moored on the sea are bobbing up and down.

"Listen up, everyone! Immediately weigh anchor, turn around, and retreat at least five nautical miles from 'Decalvan'."

Phoenix engulfed in blue flames hovered high in the sky.

Marco voice began to organize.

"Bartolomeo, you too!!"

At the same time, Arthur's voice could be heard from the dust and mist stirred up by the shockwave.

Bartolomeo, who had been anxiously watching Arthur being overwhelmed by Whitebeard's attack, suddenly snapped out of his daze. A deep hesitation flashed across his face, but he ultimately obeyed and set sail, heading away from 'Decalvan'.

Before long, the Whitebeard Pirates's fleet and Bartolomeo's ship left 'Decalvan'.

This island has become a battlefield between two Monsters.

Chapter 270 Ultimate Showdown, The World's Strongest (Thirteen)

'Call--'

A Strong Wind swept by, dispersing the thick dust that had risen into the air.

When the morning mist completely dissipated, the earth appeared as fragmented and broken as a fallen mirror.

The cracks were like abysses, deep and bottomless.

Those footholds, whether raised or sunken, exuded an aura of danger.

Without a doubt, if one were to accidentally fall, the chances of survival would be slim.

This part of the land along the coast of 'Decalvan' has reached the end of its lifespan, and it is only one final blow away from separating it from the larger island of 'Decalvan'.

It seems that just one more Seaquake or tsunami of a certain magnitude would be enough to quickly fill these abyssal cracks with seawater.

Clearly, this environment is no longer suitable as a stage for the two Monsters to clash.

Before the dust settled, Arthur and Whitebeard, without prior arrangement, moved the battlefield to the center of the island.

Not far below that volcano, in the forest that Arthur had leveled.

The live stream Image Bird, seeing that the figures of 'King of Knights' and Whitebeard had disappeared below, quickly shifted its view, sensing the signal device on Arthur's wrist, and soon located the two figures.

'Clang clang clang...!!'

'Sizzle sizzle...'

Meanwhile, Arthur was fully focused on fighting Whitebeard.

The sound of metal clashing was incessant.

The magnificent Golden Sword clashed repeatedly with the naginata.

Neither of them possessed the power of 'True Name Release: Excalibur' or the Tremor-Tremor Fruit; they were merely shrouded in powerful Armament Haki. Yet, with each collision, neither of them retreated an inch. The air was not only filled with sparks, but also with dark red Inazuma constantly flashing.

Arthur's eyes showed great seriousness and focus.

Whitebeard's smile vanished, replaced by an extremely serious expression.

Both of them were highly focused, perhaps because they were at the same level of concentration.

Although the two did not exchange any words, they simultaneously changed their fighting style.

The clashes involve Conqueror's Haki, Armament Haki, Observation Haki, Swordsmanship, and physical combat, and occasionally the use of Devil Fruit abilities.

Perhaps because his strength had returned to its peak, Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki was more than twice as powerful as it was during the Paramount War. Arthur, whose Conqueror's Haki had been upgraded to (A+) level, could only manage to hold his own.

Needless to say, Armament Haki is even more Haki; very few people can match the capacity of the four Monsters standing atop the ocean.

Haki is a spiritual force in terms of will; the stronger one's spirit, the stronger one's Haki.

A person may possess immense power, but if their will falters or their brain is damaged, then their Haki becomes unusable.

The best examples are Gecko Moria and Shiki the Golden Lion.

One was so defeated by Kaido his will collapsed, and he withdrew from the New World stage in despair. He spoke of not being willing to show weakness, but his heart was filled with fear of Kaido.

As a result, he was completely unable to use his Haki, making him not only the weakest of the Shichibukai, but also one of Luffy's stepping stones.

Shiki the Golden Lion, however, remained ambitious, but a single swivel caused him to lose his Conqueror's Haki, Observation Haki, and the level of Great Swordsman.

It's a guy who's shallow and slow-moving.

With Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, Arthur was evenly matched with Whitebeard, holding his own in no way.

However, Observation Haki and Swordsmanship resulted in a completely overwhelming victory.

However, Observation Haki and Swordsmanship resulted in a completely overwhelming victory.

Although Whitebeard's Observation Haki was also excellent, it still paled in comparison to Arthur's Observation Haki (A++), which was barely comparable to Arthur's "Voice of the Sea."

As for Swordsmanship, needless to say.

Whitebeard's bulky physique destined him to achieve little in Swordsmanship.

However, the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit makes his strikes no less powerful than those of any swordsman.

Even with increased force, it is no less powerful than Great Swordsman's strike.

In terms of physical combat, Arthur was at a disadvantage.

Compared to this Monster who could stop a large sailboat with one hand, Arthur's untrained body was far too weak.

'Sizzle...'

'Inazuma Kick--'

After shifting positions a few times, Arthur suddenly leaped up, his pale silver boots gleaming with blue and white light, and kicked towards Whitebeard's head.

'Buzz~ Click!!'

Faced with Arthur's Inazuma Kick, Whitebeard reacted extremely quickly, raising his fist and imbuing it with a transparent white light wave, slamming it towards Arthur's kick.

In an instant, the atmosphere shattered.

An invisible force of vibration halted Arthur's Inazuma Kick.

Arthur felt as if he had kicked an indestructible iron plate.

The iron plate even reflected all his force back at him.

'Bang!'

A crisp sound rang out, and Arthur's entire right foot transformed into a large patch of lightning.

After shattering Arthur's right foot, the shockwave still lingered, completely engulfing Arthur, who was right next to it.

'Call out!!'

Having foreseen this, Arthur teleported into the sky the instant his right foot was shattered by the Inazuma Kick.

His strength rapidly depleted, but his injured right leg was instantly restored.

Arthur, suspended in mid-air, first glanced at his slightly numb right foot, then looked down at the Whitebeard below, his gaze extremely solemn.

I never expected to encounter an opponent with a type advantage.

Although rubber and diamonds both have the ability to insulate against lightning.

However, electric heating still restrains rubber, and the hardness of diamonds is also limited.

More importantly, neither Luffy nor Jozu are taken seriously by Arthur.

But the Monster before him, who possessed the ability to counter his power, was the World's Strongest Man.

Using the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power in close combat is probably not an option.

Ranged attacks must also break through the limits of the shockwave force; otherwise, they will be useless.

Chapter 271 Ultimate Showdown, The World's Strongest (Part Fourteen)

Unless one uses the 'True Name Release: Excalibur' of Excalibur, neither Swordsmanship nor the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit can withstand close combat against Whitebeard, who uses the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

The closer you get, the more your attacks will be deflected by Whitebeard's shockwave, and you will suffer severe shock damage.

To break through the 'barrier' of the shockwave's power, the attack must possess power exceeding its limits.

Thinking of this, Arthur green eyes narrowed slightly.

'Sizzle...'

Arthur subconsciously took a coin out of his pocket, and the magnetic field spread, with blue and white arcs of electricity flashing.

"200 Megavolt Railgun!"

'Whoosh-- Boom!'

The coin hovered in front of me, seemingly gathering strength and vibrating slightly.

A moment later, Arthur flicked his index finger, which was covered by a silver glove.

In an instant, an orange horizon intertwined with Arthur and Whitebeard, and ear-piercing sonic booms continuously erupted from this horizon.

A massive orange beam of light shot out from Arthur's fingertips at incredible speed, hurtling down the horizon toward Whitebeard below.

It was like a meteorite falling from the sky!

"Gurararar... Such power from a single coin, quite an impressive ability." Watching the orange beam of light fall upon him, Whitebeard made no attempt to dodge, merely gripping the long hilt of his naginata with both hands, adopting a horizontal slashing stance.

'Buzz~ Click!!'

A layer of transparent white light wave adhered to the blade, suddenly magnifying several times.

Whitebeard, wielding his naginata, swung it forcefully at the ever-growing orange beam of light overhead.

The naginata, empowered by the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, easily sliced through the invisible atmosphere, creating large and small cracks of varying thickness and size.

An extremely terrifying shockwave surged forth from the cracks like a tidal wave.

Like an invisible air cannon, the shockwave and the falling orange beam of light collided once again.

Compared to previous clashes, both Arthur and Whitebeard were clearly serious this time.
