Mobius made his move.
Whitebeard's pupils contracted, and he threw a powerful punch.
He was not the only one stunned. Many of the strong fighters watching were shocked.
It was Mobius's speed. The speed of his sudden burst was terrifying.
Most people had not even seen how Mobius disappeared. They had not caught so much as a glimpse of his shadow.
It was speed and explosive power in their purest form.
Inside Mobius, tendons snapped taut like bowstrings, their immense force propelling his body forward.
Mobius appeared right in front of Whitebeard.
He saw Whitebeard's punch coming closer, the fist as big as a washbasin.
His body slipped around Whitebeard like a python, taking him from the front to the rear.
Whitebeard's fist struck empty air.
Mobius was behind him, his right arm raised high.
Armament Haki coated Mobius's slender arm, and his ability stretched it even longer.
Terrifying force surged from within him and down his arm as it fell like a long whip.
The air burst apart.
Smack!
Mobius's lash came down.
Countless onlookers felt their hearts clench.
They drew a sharp breath.
The crisp crack echoed throughout the harbor.
It looked unbearably painful.
Even Whitebeard frowned, struggling to bear it.
Mobius's whip carried terrifying speed and strength, born of his explosive power.
Armament Haki greatly increased his arm's hardness and toughness.
At the same time, that tremendous force pierced through Whitebeard's defenses and drove deep into his body.
Mobius had a gift for combat. In Body Techniques, he had mastered the use of "hidden force" to perfection.
Hidden force was a special technique found in Hades's Body Techniques.
It was similar to the impact force of Hasshoken.
It lacked Hasshoken's raw destructive power.
But this frightening force, driven from the inside out, had tremendous penetrating power. Like
