Is This the Power of the Strongest Man in the World?

Roya's praise wasn't even finished yet.

Whitebeard countered with another horizontal slash, using the Tremor-Tremor Fruit power once again, and this time coated with Armament Haki as well.

That speed was so fast that ordinary people simply couldn't react to it.

Of course.

Roya, who had already trained Observation Haki to the highest level, could still clearly perceive Whitebeard's attack trajectory.

It was just that this time, he definitely couldn't use Armament Haki to block it head-on anymore.

After all, Whitebeard had coated his weapon in Armament Haki this time. Being a man known as the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard's strength was naturally unquestionable, not to mention he had the enhancement of the strongest Paramecia Tremor-Tremor Fruit power.

However, if Roya truly used only his physical body to take Whitebeard's attack, it wouldn't be entirely impossible; it was just that Roya wanted to have some fun with Whitebeard.

Right after that.

Faced with Whitebeard's aggressive onslaught, Roya once again unleashed his Rumble-Rumble Fruit power.

At the very instant when he saw Whitebeard's massive blade about to cut into him, Roya directly underwent Elementalization, transforming his entire body into a bolt of lightning and successfully evading Whitebeard's attack.

Immediately afterward, Roya intended to use the Rumble-Rumble Fruit power to counterattack against Whitebeard.

However.

He saw that Whitebeard had anticipated Roya's next move the very first moment, yet he didn't dodge; instead, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

Whitebeard knew full well that it was already impossible for him to hit Roya, but he didn't stop; instead, he continued his attack, and relying on the power of his strongest Paramecia Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he directly shattered the air at the exact spot Roya had just occupied.

Crack!

Only a crisp, shattering sound like breaking glass came from
