Kazu turned to look at the somewhat tired Whitebeard and said, "He's getting on in years, so let's finish this quickly. I still need to go drink and eat meat after this."
The Whitebeard let out a heavy breath, revealing a row of small white teeth, and grinned, saying, "You silly son, don't underestimate your old man! I can fight for another ten days and ten nights!"
Kazu curled his lip. "Don't you need to check your own condition before you brag?"
He's sixty-four years old, but he still acts like he's eighteen?
"This next move is my turn to do it in place of my mother, so be prepared."
Regardless of how much he boasted, Kazu was starting to get hungry.
That bastard Behrens actually drank and didn't wait for him! How dare he!
"Is the next move for Navia?"
"What about those before that..."
Whitebeard suddenly felt his brain wasn't working properly. What had he been doing all day?
"Those previous requests were simply because I wanted to fight you."
"Those attacks weren't strong enough; they didn't match the resentment my mother had harbored for so many years."
Kazu's words gave Whitebeard a headache. Why was this kid so good at bragging? Who did he get this habit from?
Has he forgotten about the Conqueror's Coating, swordsmanship, and Devil Fruit power?
That thing isn't powerful enough, so what is?
But in any case, at least Navia's last wish will be fulfilled.
To be honest, fighting with Kazu was really tiring. This day and a half felt more tiring than fighting Roger for three days and three nights.
Aokiji, Kizaru: See? Even fighting this old guy gives you this feeling!
Shanks: Me too!
"Alright, then let me see your trump card."
"Come on, Kazu, bring it on, including Navia's share!"
Whitebeard mobilized all his strength, using the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to vibrate his body, accelerating the flow of his blood and thus increasing his speed and strength.
It looks very similar to Luffy's Gear Second, with bright red skin and steam rising from its body. This move can cause physical damage to the user.
The organs were subjected to the vibration, and the longer it dragged on, the deeper the damage became. This was the root cause of the many hidden injuries he suffered in his later years.
He hadn't used this trick for many years since he got older.
" Pops's condition!!"
As a veteran and ship's doctor of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco was well aware of the Yamato and side effects of his Pops's technique.
But it was his Pops's own decision, and he couldn't stop Pops. He could only pray that they would end the battle soon.
They were no longer in the mood for drinking and eating; anyone with eyes could see that the final showdown was about to begin.
Seeing Whitebeard's condition, Kazu knew that his opponent was going all out, so he stopped hesitating and decided that a quick victory was the best option.
Kazu gripped the Muramasa tightly with both hands, his Armament Haki covering the blade, his aura reaching its peak, and his Conqueror's Haki erupting instantly, then wrapping around the blade.
"This is the last resort!"
" Ultimate Ghost Swordsmanship: Storm Style!!"
With a wave of his hand, Kazu threw 24 blue-white swords formed from sword intent into the air. Then, 12 swords hovered in the air, and 12 swords instantly fell to the ground, forming a circular sword formation.
A terrifying sword intent permeated the center of the sword formation, stinging the Whitebeard's skin. There was even a powerful suction force affecting his body, as if it were afraid that he would escape the range of the sword formation.
The 24 swords were covered with Armament Haki by Kazu, turning the light blue swords black, and the power of the sword formation instantly increased several times.
The only weapon imbued with Conqueror's Haki was Muramasa in Kazu's hands from beginning to end.
Oulait and Vista on the Divine Dragon were completely mesmerized. They had never seen such an exquisite sword formation before. The wine and roast meat in their hands suddenly lost their appeal, and they had no time to eat or drink.
After the sword formation was formed, Kazu's figure instantly disappeared from the spot. This time it was not Space Swap, but simply an increase in movement speed and attack speed to the maximum.
Click click click click click~
Kazu attacked with incredible speed, unleashing more than ten strikes in the blink of an eye.
Whitebeard was at the center of the sword formation, and he was the one who could best understand its terror.
Whitebeard dared not be careless. His hands were covered with orbs of Armament Haki and Tremor-Tremor Power as he used Observation Haki to track Kazu's figure and attack trajectory, thus blocking and counterattacking.
The first few attacks were manageable; Whitebeard successfully withstood Kazu's attacks.
However, the speed of the attacks increased with each subsequent strike. Whitebeard managed to block only a few of the dozen or so attacks that followed, and his body absorbed the remaining nearly ten.
In the final few attacks, Whitebeard couldn't even react anymore, so he simply followed Garp's example and covered his entire body with Armament Haki. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he had unleashed the strongest genjutsu, Tekkai.
Bang bang~
Pfft, pfft, pfft~
After all 24 weapons were destroyed, Kazu, wielding Muramasa, appeared before Whitebeard's face.
Muramasa attacked from below. Whitebeard was taking a beating, but from the very beginning, he had been gathering Conqueror's Haki on Muramasa, constantly guarding against that final, fatal blow.
