Fierce Battle!

Celestial changes in the New World.

Through the lens of Morgans's Live Broadcast Den Den Mushi for Big News Bird), the news reached thousands of households across the sea.

The ordinary viewers watching the execution live were all shocked by this astonishing spectacle.

"Is this the 'Second Summit War' that the White Dragon Emperor spoke of?"

"The power possessed by pirates is absolutely enough to destroy the heavens and the earth!"

"This is like the end of the world..."

The Sky Garden, where both sides were engaged in battle, was also affected.

The clash and friction of Conqueror's Haki between Storm and Whitebeard, two top-tier warriors of the sea, was like a violent gust of wind stirring up the land of the Sky Garden.

A storm swept through, ravaging everything in its path.

Blackbeard Teach, who was closest to the source, was the first to be hit by the clash of these two [Conqueror's Haki] auras.

Under the overwhelming force of Conqueror's Haki, Blackbeard Teach felt as if he had become a lone boat caught in a storm, as if he could be blown away at any moment.

And the areas that are a little further away.

The members of the Dawn Pirates had long since become accustomed to the strength of their "Father's" [Conqueror's Haki].

The members of the Storm Pirates all possess exceptional talent and are completely unconcerned about this level of Conqueror's Haki aftereffect.

In contrast, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates...

Those experienced Great Pirate were alright.

However, not all Whitebeard Pirates are such battle- Great Pirate!

Those weak and feeble-willed pirate henchmen were as fragile as reeds in a storm when faced with the clash of Conqueror's Haki between Storm and Whitebeard. They lost consciousness on the spot and collapsed to the ground.

It was merely the aftershock of a collision Conqueror's Haki.

The number of pirates brought by the Whitebeard Pirates was reduced by a significant portion!

So far, no one has spoken up for these pirate henchmen.

Both Storm and Whitebeard were now focused on their respective opponents.

"This level of 'superhuman strength'!"

Storm was in high spirits, feeling a long-lost sense of "fighting spirit".

"I haven't seen him for a very long time!"

Storm has already fought against many of the top powerhouses in the ocean.

The Pirate Emperor standing at the pinnacle of the New World, the Admiral force of the World Government...

Storm practically attacked every single one of them!

Even so.

The level of power that Whitebeard is displaying at this moment is still Storm has never seen before!

"In terms of strength, among all the opponents I've faced, none are stronger than you!"

Storm clenched his right fist, and even more violent and astonishing arcs of black and red electricity flowed from between his fingers.

"I would call you 'the strongest'!"

Compared to the relaxed and carefree White Dragon Emperor.

Whitebeard's mood was now rather unpleasant.

In fact, he wanted to relay what the White Dragon Emperor had just said directly to the other party.

Whitebeard had sailed the seas for so many years, and he had never encountered an opponent with such terrifying power as the White Dragon Emperor!

Whether it's Roger, Garp, or even Rocks from before...

If we only consider "strength," Whitebeard was never inferior to anyone!

The power that the White Dragon Emperor displayed at this moment startled Whitebeard.

This is his incredible strength, absolutely on par with his prime!

That strong little brat!

Whitebeard gritted his teeth, feeling a surge of blood and qi churning within his body.

This change in aura was also reflected in his weapon.

Storm felt the change in force transmitted from the blade of [Murakumogiri] with perfect clarity, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Is he about to give up, Whitebeard?"

Storm unleashed a sudden burst of powerful energy, taking advantage of the brief moment when Whitebeard's aura fluctuated, forcing the "World's Strongest Man" back from his path.

"Your physical condition is much worse than I had anticipated!"

Whitebeard just displayed considerable power.

The top-tier [Tremor-Tremor Fruit].

Top-tier [Conqueror's Haki].

Top-tier "superhuman strength".

If it were a few years later, the Whitebeard who appeared in the Marineford version of the Summit War, he certainly wouldn't have been able to do this.

While Whitebeard's performance during the Marine Headquarters Summit War was terrifying, his former glory was long gone.

Storm thought that by arriving a few years earlier, he had also avoided several of Whitebeard's negative traits—such as the "filial son sword"—...

Whitebeard's performance should be stronger.

But now it seems...

Whitebeard became stronger, but he wasn't truly stronger.

With just one strike from Storm, this legendary pirate from the Old Era was already struggling to hold on...

Whitebeard was forced back by his opponent, and his tall body flew dozens of meters through the air, directly out of the Execution Platform area, and landed on the ground of the Sky Garden before regaining his footing.

This feeling of being sent flying was a first for Whitebeard, and it was quite a novel experience for him.

But beyond the novelty.

Whitebeard felt more powerless under the sweeping tide of the times.

He had always thought that the White Dragon Emperor was just a relatively outstanding newcomer, like Beasts Kaido Shanks.

There's nothing particularly remarkable about it.

Take Beasts Kaido as an example.

Since leaving the Rocks Pirates and venturing out to sea alone, that azure dragon has challenged the Marines and other Pirate Emperor dozens of times, and has also suffered crushing defeats.

Whitebeard "bestowed" several defeats upon Beasts Kaido.

As for Shanks?

Whitebeard didn't even consider that kid who was an apprentice in Roger Pirates a threat.

Especially after the Red-Haired Pirates were defeated by the New Marines, Whitebeard wasn't too surprised. Instead, he had a feeling that "they're just kids."

Over the past few decades.

There was only one opponent whom Whitebeard acknowledged.

That's Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King!

After Roger was publicly executed by the Navy.

Whitebeard's power is unparalleled in the New World!

But today.

Whitebeard suddenly realized.

He ultimately underestimated the tides of the times.

That brat White Dragon Emperor.

Even if he were at his peak, he might not be able to defeat his opponent.

This is a monster almost identical to Roger back in the day!

"Gulalalala--"

Whitebeard stood firm on the ground, his Supreme Grade Sword resting to the side in his right hand, and suddenly burst into laughter.

No one knew why Whitebeard was laughing.

Even the Whitebeard Pirates ' "sons" didn't understand what their father was laughing about.

"You brat—no, White Dragon, are you underestimating me?"

"It wouldn't be accurate to call it underestimating."

Storm casually flicked out two lumps of clay, creating two "executioner Clay Doll" wielding long swords next to Blackbeard Teach, before jumping off the Execution Platform himself.

"However, I can help you with your treatment and recovery first."

"You can't unleash your full potential right now, which only disappoints me."

Storm truly wouldn't mind using the [Restoration Fruit]'s power to help Whitebeard heal his hidden injuries.

He hasn't encountered such a "strong" opponent in a long time!

Even the so-called leader of the Knights of God, whom he had encountered before and who was suspected to be Shanks' biological father, Figarland Saint Gringu, could not ignite Storm's fighting spirit at all.

But Whitebeard can!

Storm, of course, wouldn't mind giving Whitebeard a dignified exit ceremony.

Having sailed the seas for many years, Whitebeard had long since developed a keen eye for human nature, and could naturally sense the White Dragon's "sincerity."

But that's the kind of sincerity they have.

This only made Whitebeard angrier.

Are you pitying me?

Whitebeard gripped the Murakumogiri tightly, channeling his Conqueror's Haki and wrapping it around the Supreme Grade Sword.

"I have Whitebeard!!"

At the same time.

A pale white energy sphere, symbolizing the Tremor Power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, also adhered to the blade of the Murakumogiri, transforming the naginata into a strange long-handled hammer.

Whitebeard swung his [Murakumogiri] with all his might, furiously slashing at the White Dragon opposite him.

He would never accept mercy from the enemy!

Even if White Dragon's strength exceeded his previous expectations.

But for the sake of my family.

Whitebeard will absolutely not lose this war!

Storm's eyes were calm as still water. He paid no attention to Whitebeard's anger and, just as before, wrapped his fist with Haki and blasted it towards the peerless weapon opposite him that was capable of sinking islands and destroying the world.

Boom!!

Storm's fist clashed with Whitebeard's naginata once again.

Once, again, and again...

A deafening roar echoed continuously over the Sky Garden.

The two monsters engaged in a series of fierce clashes on the ground.

The once-solid ground became as fragile as porcelain in the face of Storm and Whitebeard, transforming from a flat surface into a pitted, ravine-ridden landscape.

Those fighting nearby were also affected by the aftershocks of the battle between these two top-tier ocean warriors, and they all abandoned their enemies and retreated into the distance.

"Run!"

"The aftershocks of Dad's battle are not so easy to bear!"

"The White Dragon Emperor... this guy is actually just as strong as my father!"

Compared to the panicked Whitebeard Pirates.

The Storm Pirates also appeared somewhat disorganized.

However, the Dawn Pirates were completely unaffected; they were like emotionless robots, still rapidly clearing out all the enemies in front of them.

Anyone can see that.

The Whitebeard Pirates are about to collapse!
