Dark Emperor vs. Whitebeard (2)

On the third day, the battle between the two finally reached its climax.

The tall, Whitebeard brandished the small knife in his hand, his terrifying power landing on Teach as easily as swatting away a mosquito.

Teach had no time to dodge; even the Dark Jade was easily shattered by Whitebeard.

After fighting for so long, Whitebeard had come to understand the characteristics of the Dark Jade. Under the terrifying attack power of the Vibration Force, it was simply difficult to withstand; at most, it could only slightly weaken the attack.

Teach withstood the attack, and even with the defense provided by Haki and the Dark-Dark Fruit's power, the terrifying shockwave still traveled through the blade into Teach's body.

The pain was twice as intense, like a needle Teach Teach's brain.

Although Teach considered himself to have great endurance, the damage caused by the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was far more terrifying.

However, Teach's Armament Haki has already taken shape; the fact that his claws can withstand Whitebeard's shockwaves for an extended period is enough to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Armament Haki.

Although his hand bones were broken during the battle, they were quickly restored thanks to the Life Return ability.

The internal strengthening of the body also provides some resistance to the force of vibration.

Teach's tenacity exceeded Whitebeard's expectations, not only because of the effects of the Dark-Dark Fruit, but also because Teach's own physique had reached an extremely terrifying level.

Furthermore, Whitebeard could also sense Teach's growth.

Teach was flying upside down in the air, quickly stabilized his body by manipulating gravity and flew through the air.

Looking down at Whitebeard, Teach's expression was solemn. His clothes were torn, and his pirate coat was nowhere to be seen.

He knew that if things continued like this, he didn't know how long the fight would last, and he had already achieved his goal in the great battle with Whitebeard, so he felt a sense of relief, as if he had exhaled a turbid breath.

Since that's the case, then we can do whatever we want from now on.

Thinking this, Teach grinned excitedly and shouted at Whitebeard, "Take this, Whitebeard!"

Teach's figure shifted and flashed through the sky, and black spheres fell from the sky, descending like meteors under Teach's control, appearing around Whitebeard and then getting closer.

It seems they don't want to give Whitebeard any way out.

This move has been used twice, both at the Expo and in the Golden Sea Battle, with astonishing results.

Many who knew the situation narrowed their eyes, and the faces of the Whitebeard Pirates members showed worry.

"Quake Punch!"

Whitebeard put down his child's sword, clenched his fists, and a hollow spherical shield containing vibrational power appeared above his fists. He then smashed it into the air on both sides at the same time.

With a crisp cracking sound, the massive shockwave instantly shattered everything within its range, turning the entire island into fragments, with large, spiderweb-like cracks spreading outwards.

The entire island was completely shattered by this single blow.

The island, which once had some color, became desolate and barren in a short period of time. Except for the place where the Whitebeard was standing, the ground of the island visibly dropped by a full half meter.

This is the power of the Paramecia Tremor- Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

It possesses a power capable of causing tremors at any time, shaking the atmosphere and cracking the sea. Its power is so great that it can destroy a small island in the blink of an eye, and it is recognized by the world as having the ability to destroy the world!

Paramecia Tremor-Tremor Fruit, also known as the strongest Paramecia Devil Fruit!

Even the previous destruction was far less clear and shocking than what is about to happen.

Looking down from above, the island appears as if it has shed a layer of skin.

Further out at sea, giant waves over ten meters high had already been erected, affecting countless ships that were watching closely.

However, due to the continued fighting and the expanding area affected, they had long since retreated to a much greater distance; such a battle was simply beyond their reach.

It can only be viewed through live video.

Morgans dared not approach such a battle, for the aftershocks of their fight could very well kill him.

However, the King Den Den Mushi is also quite powerful; even at extremely long distances, it can still observe some situations on the battlefield thanks to its ability.

The "gravity spheres" created by Teach, those black spheres, were naturally engulfed and prematurely detonated by Whitebeard's shockwave.

It wasn't over yet; the Whitebeard's hair stood on end as he sensed an immense surge of energy.

A blue energy ball has landed and is steadily approaching Whitebeard.

The Star of Ruin, a nuclear-level attack, was once again unleashed by Teach, causing countless people's expressions to change.

Whitebeard's expression was solemn; he knew just how terrifying the power of this move was.

Meanwhile, Teach flew to a higher position, looking down to see how Whitebeard would respond to this attack.

Meanwhile, as Teach sensed his own body, he had a premonition that during his battle with Whitebeard, the shackles that Awakening Dark-Dark Fruit awakened had disappeared, meaning that his Dark-Dark Fruit had already Awakening.

Take this battle as an opportunity.

Teach could clearly feel power surging forth continuously. Was this the Awakening of Logia?

Below, it was too late when Whitebeard tried to escape; Teach's Star of Ruin was already closing in as Whitebeard unleashed his Quake Punch.

The Star of Ruin exploded in an instant, transforming into a gravitational field hundreds of meters in diameter, and this gravitational field continued to spread.

The mud and rocks on the ground were attracted by the terrifying gravity, and large areas of land were constantly rising into the air and being sucked into the gravitational field.

Whitebeard, being so close in time, was instantly locked into the gravitational field, his body irresistibly drawn in, along with the soil and rocks, constantly moving closer to it.

Whitebeard was sucked in.

Everyone knows how terrifying the Star of Ruin is; Army Admiral was killed without any resistance, and even Whitebeard might not have survived this attack.

"Pops!" the Whitebeard Pirates members cried out, their hearts filled with worry and a sense of panic.

Even though they had great faith in their Pops, they couldn't be sure at this point.

"Whitebeard, you shouldn't be dead, right?" Shiki frowned inside the Flying Pirates' palace.

The Star of Ruin is indeed a rather unsolvable move, a fact that even Shiki has to admit. If it were him, he might not be able to escape if he were drawn into it.

Although I haven't tried it, just looking at it makes me realize how terrifying the gravity is. His Float-Float Fruit powers might even fail under such a terrifying gravitational field.

Whitebeard has been sucked into the gravitational field, and his body is rotating along a certain trajectory as the gravitational field pulls him closer and closer to its center.

Whitebeard unleashed a punch, and a terrifying shockwave spread out instantly. A large amount of mud and rocks gathered and moved closer to him. If this continued, he might be engulfed by the mud.

At that time, one can imagine that he had great difficulty moving around, and might even have suffocated to death.

The clump of mud and rocks was instantly dispersed, but the effect was minimal; it merely bought him some time. Soon, under the influence of the gravitational field, the mud and rocks recombine.

The entire gravitational field has expanded to a diameter of one kilometer; Whitebeard's time is running out.

With the accumulation of massive amounts of mud and rocks, and tens of millions of tons of soil, once trapped inside, Whitebeard would have no way to escape.

At this point, Whitebeard is no longer visible in the scene. Is Whitebeard really going to die?

It must be admitted that Whitebeard is truly in what can be described as the greatest crisis in history; in the gravitational field, his physical movements are extremely difficult.

His sense of crisis grew stronger. He knew that the Star of Ruin wouldn't last long, and at that time, he might truly be unable to resist.

"I never expected it to unleash such power," the Whitebeard muttered to himself, clenching his fists as he looked at the mud that was about to engulf him. "Then let me show you!"

In an instant, Teach's pupils contracted. He sensed a terrifying aura—it was Whitebeard. Teach clearly felt that Whitebeard's aura was growing stronger and stronger, reaching a chilling level.

As for why this was happening, Teach already had a guess. "Awakening!" Teach uttered these two words, feeling the terrifying power that made his body tremble.

What is the Awakening of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit like? Teach didn't know, and had never seen it before. Perhaps Whitebeard never used it.

However, Whitebeard undoubtedly reached the Awakening level, with increased power and reduced energy consumption in his attacks. This is merely a byproduct of the awakening of Paramecia- type Devil Fruit Awakening; its true power will only be revealed when it is used.

Just like Teach, Dark-Dark Fruit has now Awakening and whose power is increasing, Teach has not used the power that comes with the Awakening Dark-Dark Fruit.

While Awakening is powerful, it is also very physically demanding, Teach still needs to figure out the specifics of its power.

Whitebeard, feeling the power surging within him, punched the air in front of him. The powerful force shattered the air, not like a mirror breaking, but the air itself truly cracking open.

You can clearly see the huge crack and the eerie void inside.

The space was healing itself, but before it could heal, two large hands grabbed it directly. The hands, enveloped in the power of vibration, were used by the Whitebeard man to forcefully pull the crack apart.

Space was stretched open, the cracks grew larger and larger, and continued to extend forward. Due to the splitting of space, the mud and rocks on both sides could not get close.

The gravitational field continues to expand, and the gravitational force becomes stronger the closer you are to the center. In other words, even if you stay in one place, the gravitational force will become stronger and stronger.

The further you go, the harder it becomes to break free. The Star of Ruin has reached its limit, its massive and constantly rotating gravitational field devouring everything that gets close.

The edge of the gravitational field has extended from the center of the island to the shore, and the entire island is enveloped by the Star of Ruin.

At this point, countless people had sentenced Whitebeard to death; even Whitebeard could not survive this attack.

An atmosphere of despair is spreading within the Whitebeard Pirates.

"It's out of the question?"

Boom!

The Star of Ruin shrank in an instant and vanished into thin air. This familiar scene, along with the dust and sand drawn thousands of meters into the air, rose and fell, forming a magnificent spectacle.

"My God! What is that!" came Morgans' shocked voice from the video. Morgans then moved and approached, the image zooming in.

Soon, a familiar figure appeared amidst the drifting dust, and what came into view was a huge crack, eight meters high and more than ten meters long.

"Whitebeard actually tore space apart and escaped the gravity of the Star of Ruin by grabbing onto space!" Morgans stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Although he had never seen that huge black crack before, Morgans recognized it as a spatial rift at a glance.

The scene within the spatial rift was terrifying; an unknown space had truly unfolded before them.

Morgans quickly figured out how Whitebeard had done it, and even so, it was still hard to believe.

More importantly, Whitebeard didn't die!

"My God! Ho ho! Whitebeard actually survived!" Morgans laughed excitedly, announcing this good news to the world.

"Very good!"

The Whitebeard Pirates, as if they had been miraculously saved, went from hell to heaven, and tears of excitement welled up in their eyes.

"Whitebeard, you're truly amazing!" Shiki exclaimed, a sigh of relief washing over him. Perhaps he hadn't even realized that he had been worried about Whitebeard just moments before.

It would be so disappointing if Whitebeard were to die like this.

Within the spatial rift, Whitebeard spread his arms to support it, his hands already stained with blood. Even for Whitebeard, facing the force of spatial contraction was not easy.

The Whitebeard was panting heavily, but his figure exuded a powerful and imposing Haki.

What did Whitebeard grasp? It was space itself. To truly grasp space was far more awe-inspiring than shattering it.

This further highlights Whitebeard's power and demonstrates the terrifying nature of this attack; even Whitebeard had to hide in a spatial interlayer to avoid it.

If Whitebeard had gotten any closer to the core of the Star of Ruin, he wouldn't have survived either, because there, under extreme gravity, even space itself would have been distorted.

Whitebeard released the spatial rift, his figure descending from a thousand meters in the sky. With a powerful, vibrating step, he stomped through the air like Geppo, shattering the space as if it were a mirror.

Whitebeard thus descended continuously, stepping through space, until he reached the ground.

Thanks to the influence of the Star of Ruin, the entire island has been transformed into a basin, into which seawater has begun to flow.

"What a sorry sight, Whitebeard." Teach's figure descended from the sky, maintaining a distance of several hundred meters from Whitebeard, and said with a hint of mockery.

"Didn't anyone tell you that fireworks can't be set off randomly, Teach?" Whitebeard showed no weakness in front of Teach.

"Let me see your current power, Whitebeard." Teach said this, but his vigilance was already at its peak, and his Observation Haki, which allowed him to "Future Sight," had locked onto Whitebeard.

A terrifying aura erupted from Teach's body, plunging the entire sky into visible darkness.

Teach clenched his fist out of thin air, unleashing a torrent of dark power that covered the entire sky. Facing the even more terrifying Whitebeard, Teach dared not underestimate him. Feeling the continuous power within his body, he released it as if opening a valve.

The Awakening of Devil Fruit naturally requires the Awakening of Devil Fruit to counter it, but who knows just how terrifying the shockwave of Awakening truly is.

A terrifying sight unfolded; Teach seemed to transform into the ruler of darkness, and a terrifying dark vortex spontaneously formed in the sky, as if to devour everything.
