The Terror of the World's Strongest Man
Three days had passed since Ye Chen forcibly captured Marco.
Today, the whole world is alarmed, especially the New World, where an atmosphere of extreme heaviness prevails.
The vast ocean, the super-large island where the Four Emperors Big resides, Totto Land Whole Cake Island Totto Land, is currently under martial law.
"Kulala"
Haki laugh, filled with boundless rage, echoed as a towering figure appeared on a giant ship. On either side, a group of important figures stared menacingly at the countless pirates swarming across the island.
Bare-chested and covered in scars, wearing a white coat with a gold collar that fluttered even without wind, his massive frame, just standing there, resembled a mountain, suppressing an entire sea.
He gripped a small knife, its cold light gleaming, and his crescent-shaped white beard trembled incessantly with his laughter.
On Whole Cake Island, facing him was a tall, obese woman with heavy lipstick and purple eyeshadow, wearing a large pink dress.
On his left shoulder, a ball of crimson fire, like the sun, burned slowly; on his right shoulder, a black cloud flickered with lightning, and in his enormous hand, he gripped a giant sword.
She is Charlotte Linlin, the only female among the Four Emperors, one of the strongest individuals standing at the pinnacle of power in this world.
Most importantly, she is a woman, and in this world of power, she could be the most domineering, powerful, and terrifying woman, symbolizing a female overlord of an era.
The fact that she became one of the Four Emperors simply because she was a woman shows just how terrifying she was.
"Whitebeard, you've gone too far."
Rumors circulated that Big, usually so ruthless and terrifying, was now filled with apprehension at the figure on the giant ship, and no matter how angry he was, he dared not make the first move.
Even the Four Sweet Commanders and all the powerful Big Pirates behind them were gripping their weapons tightly, on guard, and dared not utter a sound, because they had no right to speak at this moment.
"Kulala"
A towering figure leaped off the giant ship, instantly cracking the ground. As his coat billowed, his massive form plunged the entire sky into darkness, crushing everything in its path.
With an aura of Haki and weight as heavy as a mountain, a hurricane swept through the sky. The face that was laughing heartily suddenly froze, and then a pair of arrogant eyes that looked down on everything suddenly glared.
The world froze, then suddenly exploded, a massive, devastating explosion that shattered the entire sky. Endless dark red lightning crashed down like a raging torrent, causing the surrounding earth to collapse.
At the same time, a terrifying aura emanated from Big, standing in opposition to his domineering and invincible will.
"Click-clack"
The void collapsed, directly splitting apart; at its center, the sun shone, yet it remained so.
With a ferocious expression, Big gripped the greatsword tightly in his hand, took a step forward, and unleashed an unprecedented surge of Conqueror's Haki.
But when she faced that imposing man, her heart was filled with solemnity.
All around, pirates lay unconscious on the ground, foaming at the mouth. Cracks spread out from the two of them, and there was no one else nearby.
"Big, you have violated the tacit agreement among the Four Emperors by attacking my child first. If you do not hand over Marco, I will destroy the entire Totto Land."
His smile vanished, his eyes darkened, and the Whitebeard walked directly toward Big as if no one else was there. With each step, he was like a giant hammer, making Big's entire body tense up more and more.
Finally, the two were only a step apart. Whitebeard stopped. In terms of both size and will, Whitebeard looked down at Big. His aura was like Abyss, domineering and unfathomable.
His hair stood on end, and Big looked up angrily at the Whitebeard, his heart heavy with unease.
She knew that this old man was completely enraged. However, who was she? She was Four Emperors, Big Brother. How could she be afraid because of a single word from Whitebeard?
So what if he's the World's Strongest Man? She's the World's Strongest.
Being wary doesn't mean being afraid; Big has its own pride.
"Go ahead and try if you dare!"
A domineering will emanated from Big, undiminished in the slightest, displaying her queenly Haki.
Almost simultaneously, the two launched their attacks. The child's knife and the giant sword shattered, and a Shockwave directly lifted the ground, forming a crater that radiated outwards.
At its center, a tyrannical power, accompanied by destructive lightning, recklessly ravaged everything in its path.
The earth collapsed, mountains were moved and seas were filled. Big Backslide a few steps back, his hands trembling slightly, while Whitebeard remained motionless, his right fist clenched, and a white halo appeared around him.
"Zeus, Prometheus."
His expression turned horrified, his hair stood on end, and he immediately activated his ability.
"Yes, Mom!"
Thunder and flames intertwined, and Big roared, his right hand striking out, colliding heavily with that fist.
"Click-clack"
The atmosphere shattered into pieces, the earth turned colorless amidst the upheaval, and Big was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.
The center had already become a pit, and Whitebeard's massive body leaped up, stood on the edge, gripped his child's sword, and strode towards Big.
"Old man, you've gone too far!"
Unprecedented brutality ensued. Big crawled out of the rubble without showing any sign of distress; his already strange face was now contorted into an extremely ferocious expression.
At this moment, no one could interfere with the fight between the two; their subordinates were all watching.
The battle that took place here alerted all the top powers on the high seas.
The New World, the Red-Haired Sea.
"Shanks, something terrible has happened! That monster Whitebeard attacked BIG!"
With a hurried expression and intelligence in hand, Benn Beckman barged into Shanks' bedroom and slapped awake one of the Four Emperors, Red-Haired Shanks, who was fast asleep.
"What?"
Startled, Shanks, who had been fast asleep, noticed a red handprint on his face and immediately picked up the intelligence report handed to him by Benn Beckman.
"Phoenix Marco is fighting the Big Pirates for control of Wheat Island; three members are missing; Whitebeard has personally gone to Totto Land." Upon reading the intelligence, Shanks' expression changed drastically. "This is bad!"
"Three are missing, their fate is likely grim. Given Whitebeard's protectiveness, he must be in a rage. Big is very likely dead!"
Smoking a cigarette, Benn Beckman's expression was more solemn than ever before.
"I have a bad feeling. I have to stop it, or the balance will be broken. Big can't die now!"
Grabbing his trench coat from beside the bed, Shanks said gravely, "Gather everyone, we're going to Totto Land!"
"Knew."
Benn Beckman was aware of the gravity of the situation; if left unchecked, the situation at sea would collapse instantly.
Whitebeard is in a rage, no one can stop him.
If Whitebeard were truly willing to kill Big at any cost, Big would undoubtedly die; no one would doubt Whitebeard's ability to do so.
Not only Big, but everyone else would have met the same fate. Kaido couldn't hold on, and neither could Red-Haired.
It's important to understand that while Whitebeard is now quite old, he hasn't reached the decay he experienced Summit War. If he were to kill Four Emperors now, he would have an over 80% chance of success, provided he pays a small price.
Keep in mind, those are the Four Emperors, yet their chances of winning are over 80%. What does that mean?
This is the strength of the World's Strongest Man!
