At the center of the island.
Whitebeard's massive body smashed through dozens of meters of black rock before his feet slammed into the ground.
Boom!
The entire rock layer sank downward.
Cracks crazily spread from beneath his feet, unfurling like a black spiderweb.
The residual lightning on his body still crackled, blue-violet arcs continuously tearing at his shoulders and arms.
Whitebeard snorted coldly.
The Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power erupted from within him, forcibly blasting apart the lightning's impact.
He suddenly raised his head and looked toward Rock, who was charging at him in a flash of lightning. His eyes narrowed sharply.
"Rock—!"
His left hand clenched into a fist as he unleashed the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power at full force and swung!
"Shockwave!"

The air shattered, splitting apart like a mirror.
An invisible vibrational shockwave swept across the battlefield, crushing toward Rock like an unseen wall.
Every rock in its path was reduced directly to dust, while the ground shattered layer by layer from the tremors.
Space twisted, compressed, and collapsed, sealing off nearly every route Rock could use to evade.
But Rock did not retreat.
In the next instant, his entire body turned into violet lightning.
Bzzzt—!
The lightning tore through the air.
He was so fast that only an afterimage remained, and he forcibly sliced out from the edge before the shockwave could completely close around him.
The vibrational impact crushed the spot where he had been, pulverizing the black rock.
Rock had already appeared at Whitebeard's side.
His five fingers spread open as lightning wildly gathered in his palm.
"Thunder Judgment: Ten Thousand Spears Pierce the World!"

Countless thick Lightning Spears shot forth.
Every Lightning Spear was wrapped in pitch-black Armament Haki as they rained densely down upon Whitebeard.
Whitebeard's expression did not change.
He held Murakumogiri
