The next instant, he swung the Cursed Sword Kitetsu, unleashing a dazzling Flying Slash.
Snow-white Sword Aura descended like clouds hanging from the heavens, seemingly intent on cleaving the sea and harbor in two.
Whitebeard continued hurtling upward. With a vicious swing of Murakumogiri, he shattered the terrifying Sword Aura that could split mountains and seas without pausing for even an instant.
The scattered Sword Aura continued shooting downward, plunging into the sea and raising towering waves.
Now that he had reached the air and no longer had to worry about the Moby Dick, Whitebeard unleashed even greater power than before.
His furious eyes fixed on Adrian. Gripping Murakumogiri with both hands, Whitebeard's thick arms bulged with veins as his innate peerless strength surged wildly.
Whoosh—
Whitebeard swung Murakumogiri again. This was no simple slash, but a powerful shock wave infused with tremor energy!
Rather than retreating, Adrian advanced, raising the Cursed Sword Kitetsu. Spiritual Pressure coated the blade as Armament Haki bearing four distinct properties surged forth, meeting Whitebeard's strike head-on.
Clang!!
The Cursed Sword and Naginata collided, first producing a metallic ring that could pierce clouds and shatter stone, then a tremendous boom that shook the entire sky and sea. White shock waves spread outward in concentric rings like ripples.
Boom!!
A deafening roar erupted in midair, its overwhelming force like countless thunderbolts falling from a clear sky.
The already turbulent sea churned even more violently under the immensely powerful shock wave.
Moored in the harbor, the white-whale-like Moby Dick seemed as fragile as a folded paper boat under the battle's spilling force, its hull rocking incessantly.
Even the Red Hair Pirates watching from the harbor cliffs could barely keep their eyes open against the violent aftermath of the clash.
Up in the sky.
