Having Some Fun with Whitebeard
Looking at the equally battle-ready Whitebeard opposite him, Haku looked up at Sengoku and said, "Fleet Admiral! Remember to call me when it's over over there. I need to play with Whitebeard now!"
"You brat, don't linger too long!"
Sengoku's tacit approval of Haku's involvement left Haku somewhat bewildered. However, since Sengoku had spoken, Haku decided to disregard any objections.
Boom! Two thick bolts of lightning suddenly appeared on the once calm sea and struck Whitebeard!
Whitebeard's gaze sharpened, and he used his Devil Fruit ability to shatter the two bolts of lightning with his right hand!
"Kid! Are you looking down on this old man by releasing such a small amount of lightning!" Whitebeard looked at Haku, who was still standing Execution Platform, his eyes full of undisguised provocation!
"Ha! I feel like I'm being looked down upon!" Haku said, touching her nose.
The next second, Haku lifted her foot and landed! She instantly appeared in front of Whitebeard!
The Shikai Ryujin Jakka and Murakumogiri collided! The energy released from their collision sent many Pirates still aboard the Moby Dick flying!
"What a sturdy old man! I've never seen anyone who could withstand the strength in your hands!" Haku teased Whitebeard.
"Kid! May I take that as boasting?!" Whitebeard said, staring at Haku in front of him.
Sparks flew as the two weapons clashed and rubbed against each other, and the two, one old and one young, who refused to give in, began to unleash their Conqueror's Haki!
"Furfurfur! These are two monsters! I never expected to see such a duel on a battlefield like this!" Doflamingo looked excitedly in the direction of the Moby Dick!
"Their power is enough to shake the entire the Sea." The Fleet Admiral Sengoku stood on high ground, his gaze deep as he looked at the two people fighting fiercely in the distance, a solemn expression on his face.
Sengoku sent Haku to fight, mainly to test whether Whitebeard had truly recovered as recently rumored!
Sure enough, it would have been better if we hadn't tried; once we did, even the Sengoku was rendered speechless!
Unfortunately, things had already progressed this far, and there was no use in regretting it! Sengoku only knew that he had to bring down the entire Whitebeard Pirates!
The battle between Haku and Whitebeard intensified, their figures moving rapidly across the sea, each collision triggering massive energy fluctuations. The surrounding seawater seemed to be stirred up by this force, forming giant waves that surged outwards.
Whitebeard Murakumogiri with all his might, each swing carrying the force of a thunderbolt. Haku, on the other hand, skillfully dodged Whitebeard's attacks while simultaneously seeking an opportunity to launch a counterattack.
His Ryujin Jakka seemed to possess a spirit of its own, dancing according to his will, each strike carrying a blazing flame. Before anyone knew it, Haku had already directly Shikai his Zanpakuto!
Against an enemy like Whitebeard, only by concealing the flames of one's Zanpakuto can one best counter his attacks!
The battle between the two attracted the attention of many people. Both the navy and the Pirates stopped what they were doing and watched this epic duel with bated breath.
After sending Kite Haku, Whitebeard looked down at the scene and said, "You bunch of brats! What are you standing there for? Hurry up and rescue Ace!"
Haku glanced at Sengoku with a concerned look and said, "Fleet Admiral, the local leaders don't have time to command anyone. What's going on here?"
Sengoku glared at Haku fiercely. "Mind your own business! Didn't you see Whitebeard charging up his power?!"
Haku was startled upon hearing this, and as she saw Whitebeard actually charging up his power, Haku used Shunpo in front of Whitebeard!
"You brat! That's exactly what I've been waiting for!" The Whitebeard's face immediately revealed a cunning expression.
Haku knew inwardly that things were going badly; it was too late for him to Teleportation away!
"Sky Splitter!!!"
Whitebeard roared, and his joined fists shot out towards Haku!
Haku felt as if he were enveloped by an immense force, as if the whole world was trembling. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to resist the impact of this force.
"Bang!"
With a deafening roar, Haku was struck by Whitebeard's Sky Splitter, sent flying, and crashed heavily onto the sea. The force of the impact created massive waves that surged outwards.
"Haku!" Hancock's face showed worry when she saw this. She knew how powerful Whitebeard was and was worried that Haku would be seriously injured.
However, Haku did not disappoint Hancock. He struggled to his feet from the sea, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes shining with determination.
"Such incredible power!" Haku exclaimed. "But that's what makes it interesting!"
He charged at Whitebeard again, and the two engaged in another fierce battle. This time, Haku was more cautious and gave Whitebeard no chance.
Influenced by that little incident, the Pirates' morale is even higher than before!
In their eyes, this Marine Admiral who had defeated two Four Emperors in succession and recently beheaded Lion's Head was nothing special!
Riding on Whitebeard's momentum, the Pirates launched a new assault on the plaza of Marineford!
"You're quite the con artist. You old-timers who've seen your share of battles are no joke!" Haku said calmly, staring intently at the Whitebeard in front of her.
"Kid, how old are you? You still have a lot to learn! You know, if it were Garp or Sengoku in that situation, they wouldn't have fallen for it so easily!" Whitebeard said.
"Tsk tsk! You guys are the epitome of being old and cunning, aren't you?!" Haku said, pulling out a Bone Mask.
Haku, who had just been tricked by Whitebeard, also had his pride, so he decided to use some more tricks to play with the old man in front of him!
Whitebeard looked at what Haku was holding, a look of interest in his eyes!
"Kid, I know about that mask of yours. It seems those people at sea call it the Evil Mask! Some even say it's the source of your power, and that obtaining it will grant you a share of your strength!"
"In the Underworld, there are some fearless individuals who have already put a bounty on this mask!" Whitebeard said, a smug look on his face.
Haku glanced disdainfully at those staring at the Hollow Mask in his hand, and said calmly, "To actually covet my Hollow Mask, what an ignorant and laughable bunch of pathetic wretches!"
"I really don't know how these idiots could think my stuff would be of any use to them?"
