Whitebeard Really Attacked the Red Line!
The distance between Dawn Island and the Konomi Islands is quite far, almost half of the East Blue.
Such a long distance would take a considerable amount of time, even if traveled by Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
Storm put away his nautical charts and compass, deciding to adopt a completely new method of flight.
Sorry, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, you're too slow...
Storm gently stroked the [Rumble-Rumble Ring] between his fingers, and wisps of silvery-white electricity crackled across his skin.
In a fleeting moment.
Storm transformed into a lightning-fast "Lightning Person".
Electric current propulsion enables catapult launch.
Storm's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
Rumble--
A faint rumble of thunder.
Only a twisted, silvery-white Lightning bolt remained against the azure backdrop of the East Blue.
Storm, feeling the lightning speed at this moment, was still somewhat unsatisfied.
He activated the second [Demon Ring]—the [Moa Moa Ring]!
[More-More Fruit - 100x Speed]!
The instant that Storm activated the [Moa Moa Ring] speed boost.
He felt as if time itself was slowing down around him.
The blowing wind, the drifting clouds, the undulating sea...
Storm felt as if all the natural phenomena around him were being shrouded in the "slow light" of the [Slow-Slow Fruit], moving as slowly as a movie in slow motion.
This is not because the natural phenomena around us are too slow.
It was because Storm was moving incredibly fast at that moment!
It might be a few seconds, or it might be half a minute.
Suddenly, a massive red serpent, stretching to the sky, appeared before Storm's eyes.
The true name of this "red serpent" instantly flashed into his mind—
Red Line Continent.
But just as this thought crossed Storm's mind, he had already rushed to the front of the Red Line Continent.
Boom!!!
The "Lightning Person," accelerated a hundredfold, crashed into the cliff face of the Red Line Continent at an unimaginable speed, instantly unleashing a deafening explosion.
The area on the Red Line Continent struck by the "Lightning Person" immediately cracked and shattered, with deep, jagged cracks spreading outwards like a spider web, instantly forming a terrifying crater hundreds of meters in diameter.
A terrifying shockwave erupted in all directions, sending enormous chunks of rock crashing down from the cliffs of the Red Line Continent and falling into the sea below, as if an unprecedented "meteorite shower" was falling over the area!
At the very center of the deep pit.
Dust filled the air, and the lightning disappeared.
"Cough cough."
Storm, covered in dust, coughed as he walked out of the pit.
"How did it end up hitting the wall?"
This was the first time Storm had combined the powers of the Rumble- Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the Momo- More-More Fruit.
He hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
The already incredibly fast Thunder, further enhanced by a hundredfold super acceleration.
The result was that Storm himself couldn't control his speed and crashed headfirst into the Red Line Continent.
Fast, too fast!
Although Storm had already perfectly mastered the power of the [Rumble-Rumble Fruit] after its [Awakening] while on Sky Island, and could skillfully use the [Rumble-Rumble Fruit]'s ability to move at high speed.
However, this was the first time he had applied the speed-up effect of the [More-More Fruit] to the lightning of the [Rumble-Rumble Fruit].
It's easy to accidentally exceed the speed limit.
If it weren't for the fact that Storm had just used the [Rumble-Rumble Fruit].
With that exaggerated speed, crashing headlong into the Red Line Continent could very well have injured him directly...
That would be ridiculous...
"If you're bad at cooking, practice more!"
Storm waved his hand, dispersing the dust in front of him. He planned to find some time later to work out the combined effects of the [Rumble-Rumble Fruit] and the [More-More Fruit].
But the most important thing right now is to figure out where we are!
Storm unleashed his Observation Haki and Rumble- Rumble-Rumble Fruit, further expanding his sensory range.
Storm quickly picked up on the "sounds" coming from his surroundings.
But what he felt first was a terrifying aura looming overhead.
Five of them possessed an aura far surpassing that of Magellan, the strongest opponent Storm had ever faced.
There was another person's aura, the intensity of which Storm couldn't even accurately describe.
It's like someone looking up at the moon in the sky.
He knew the moon was there, but he didn't know how big it was; he could only sense the hazy moonlight.
This extraordinary combination of "super five plus one" is truly remarkable.
This immediately made Storm think of a certain possibility.
His lips twitched violently.
"No way..."
Just then...
The mysterious aura above Storm's head seemed to sense the aura he was emanating.
One of the auras broke away from the main force and rushed towards this place with great agility.
Storm paused for a moment, then raised his hand and unleashed the power of the [Clay Fruit].
Streams of white clay gushed out from every part of his body, instantly enveloping him completely.
Storm's size continued to expand, and in the blink of an eye, he reached a height of six meters.
He stretched out his right hand and stroked his chin, revealing a signature crescent-shaped white mustache.
The Edward Teach makes its dazzling debut.
Storm blends perfectly with the Edward Teach, quietly awaiting its arrival.
Not long after.
A strange bird's cry echoed from outside the pit, accompanied by an overwhelming sense of psychological pressure.
"How long will it last?"
"How long will it last?"
Countless black and red arcs of electricity crackled in the air—the mark of [Conqueror's Haki] being activated.
Storm - Edward Teach calmly gazed ahead.
A terrifying black beast-like figure appeared.
Its head is like a human's, its body is like a snake's, its beak is hooked and its teeth are jagged, and its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky, covering the sun.
It's True Heaven!
To be precise, it is --
Gorosei, Environmental Martial God, Marcus Saint Mars.
The bird-like Marcus Saint Mars flew down from Mary Geoise on the Red Line Continent, arriving at the origin of the terrifying earthquake that had just shaken the entire Holy Land.
Marcus Saint Mars immediately noticed the terrifying crater, hundreds of meters in diameter, which looked as if it had been struck by a meteorite. At the same time, his Observation Haki locked onto the aura of the person at the very center of the crater.
"Who are you..."
Marcus Saint Mars watched the figure slowly emerge from the pit, his aged pupils contracting slightly.
"Whitebeard!"
"I am—"
A thunderous roar erupted, Edward Teach vanished instantly, leaving only a few ethereal arcs of silvery-white electricity in his wake.
"Edward Teach!"
Boom!
Accompanied by the booming sound of thunder.
Edward Teach appeared as if by teleportation directly in front of the bird head of It's True Heaven, the strange bird that Marcus Saint Mars had transformed into.
He raised his right fist high, and jet-black Armament Haki enveloped and covered the entire fist, with incandescent lightning emanating from the black crevices.
Electric Current Propelled - Lightning Fist!
Boom!
Before It's True Heaven could react...
Edward Teach's "Thunder Fist" struck It's True Heaven its sharp teeth squarely.
The fist collided with the bird's beak, producing a deafening roar.
Edward Teach's astonishing strength sent the strange bird flying more than ten meters away with a single punch, followed by a rustling sound in the air.
Click--
Upon It's True Heaven's seemingly sturdy beak was emitting a series of soft cracking sounds, with dense cracks appearing on its surface, making it appear as fragile as porcelain, ready to shatter at the slightest touch.
Marcus Saint Mars cried out in pain, then looked up and let out a bird's cry that pierced through the clouds and split the rocks.
The next moment, he lowered his head, his eyes, completely beast-like and seemingly devoid of any human emotion, fixed on Edward Teach, and opened his mouth, spewing out a stream of scorching flames.
The crimson flames emitted terrifyingly high temperatures, instantly distorting and heating the surrounding air.
It was as if a brilliant line of fire had streaked across the sky.
The scorching flames spewed out by It's True Heaven rushed towards Edward Teach.
Edward Teach watched the scalding flames rushing towards him, his expression remaining unchanged. Silvery-white electricity coiled around his body and then rapidly surged outwards.
Waves of incandescent electricity converged behind Edward Teach, and after careful manipulation, were shaped into a roughly formed thunder dragon.
"Lightning Dragon!"
Roar--
The Lightning Dragon roared and charged straight at the Flame Stream.
Thunder and fire, two equally astonishing natural forces, collided violently in mid-air.
Crimson flames and silvery lightning intertwined, rubbing and squeezing against each other before suddenly exploding.
A burst of lightning and firework suddenly lit up the sky.
Half of it is lightning, and half of it is fire.
The scattered arcs and sparks of electricity filled the sky like a meteor shower, creating a spectacular sight.
"This is Logia [Rumble-Rumble Fruit]!"
It's True Heaven flapped its wings, opened its beak, and let out a sound of shock.
At some point, its long, narrow beak, which had just been shattered by Edward Teach's punch, was completely restored to its original, intact state, without even a trace of crack.
Just like Edward Teach's "Lightning Fist" didn't even hit It's True Heaven at all.
Marcus Saint Mars stared at Edward Teach in astonishment.
The appearance of a strange, young "Whitebeard" figure beneath the Red Line Continent is already astonishing enough.
The opponent's strength was in no way inferior to that of Whitebeard in his youth.
What's even more surprising is...
This "Whitebeard" possesses the legendary "invincible" [Rumble-Rumble Fruit]!
"This is indeed the [Rumble-Rumble Fruit]!"
Edward Teach looked arrogantly at Marcus Saint Mars.
And what are you?
"The giant bird!"
