That old bastard was unbelievably strong.
Victor reacted swiftly. As he flipped through the air, he used his terrifying core strength to halt himself in midair, then stomped down on Whitebeard's descending Naginata.
Victor's toes seemed to be stepping on the air itself.
"That's Conqueror's Haki coating."
Victor frowned.
He hadn't expected Whitebeard to go all out and truly hold nothing back.

Whitebeard swung with all his strength, knocking Victor away.
Victor had no intention of meeting him head-on. With ten thousand people watching, he still needed to keep a few trump cards hidden.
"What just happened?"
Wright, Connor, and the others had all noticed that incredible scene.

A deafening sonic boom erupted.
"Missed!"
Whitebeard's right fist swept through
