Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every collision made it feel as though the world were about to collapse!
The two fought near the end of the first half of the Grand Line, yet even on the other side of the planet, the aftershocks of their earth-shaking battle were suffocating!
At some point, dark clouds had covered the entire world. Purple-black lightning churned within them, as though doomsday had come! People who knew nothing of the cause grew restless. They could only kneel, look up at the Firmament, and beg the gods for forgiveness. Dark clouds had spread across the whole world, while volcanic eruptions and tsunamis swept through it!
No one knew why. They could not comprehend power like this!
If anyone insisted on explaining it, they would say the heavens were angry!
But Whitebeard and Loa, the two locked in battle, could not have cared less. So what if the heavens were angry? They would not let anything interfere with their fight! The purple-black lightning and dark clouds had become nothing more than a backdrop!
When it became clear the battle could not be stopped, that heavenly power lingered for a moment before quietly choosing to watch. It had been ignored, as though the heavens were picking a fight with empty air.
Faced with the two terrifying monsters on the battlefield, Illusion Nightmare backed down. Its power could no longer interfere with a fight at this level.
But it still had one move left...
At the center of the battlefield, Loa and Whitebeard had lost count of how many times they had clashed. Their figures tangled together as they traded blows. Loa relied on his ability to recover and refused to fall. Whitebeard pushed his vibrations ever closer to their Limit, but he was always just a fraction short.
