The blast wave rolled outwards in all directions.
The blade-like energy, tens of meters high, stirred up waves that crashed heavily onto the shore, creating a massive, echoing roar.
However, compared to the scene before them, this turbulent atmosphere seemed pale and powerless, lacking any real sense of awe.
Everyone was stunned to see Bai Yu standing on the deck, still sporting a bloodthirsty smile.
This was a strike from Whitebeard Jr.., a strike that even Zephyr, caught off guard, lost an arm to.
Now, even Bai Yu's own defenses cannot be broken through.
This comparison is simply too shocking.
"Not bad, that attack hurt a bit. But now it's my turn. I'm curious to know if you're truly insane."
Bai Yu smiled bloodthirstyly, the Zanpakuto in his hand.
It burst forth with dazzling light once again.
However, this offensive was clearly stronger and more domineering than the one before.
" The Kendo: Bisection!"
"My dear son, don't be afraid. This guy is just putting on a show. You are the Whitebeard Jr., possessing strength comparable to Whitebeard in his youth."
Miss Bakkin slammed his cane on the deck and the Roar urgently.
"You, too, can easily deflect attacks, just like him."
"Okay, Mom!"
Weevil sniffled, quickly gripped the naginata in his hand, and looked up at the sky.
In his eyes, his mother's words were the highest command.
Miss Bakkin said to take it head-on, so we'll take it head-on.
However, the moment this thought flashed through his mind, a hundred-meter-long blade of energy shot into the sky.
The immense aura surrounding them sent chills down everyone's spines, giving them the illusion of falling into an ice cellar.
Weevil, caught in the attack, showed a flicker of terror on his previously dazed face and cried out in alarm.
"Mom, I can't do it."
" Full-Body Armament Haki Hardening!"
Boom!
The hundred-meter-long blade of energy, like a pillar supporting the sky, instantly struck Weevil.
Bang!
The enormous impact force swept them backward.
The half of the ship, which was originally intended for use in the battlefield, exploded in an instant.
The golden light that formed the slash forcefully cleaved the sea in two.
A figure was sent flying backward like a cannonball.
A loud explosion followed, crashing heavily onto the shore.
The immense force released caused the dock to Crush and cave in, creating a crater tens of meters deep.
The entire sea surface trembled violently.
The waves, which were several meters high, subsided.
The place that was originally a battlefield was now only occupied by Bai Yu lying on the sea.
At the end of that slash mark that spanned hundreds of meters, there was a figure with tattered clothes, looking like a beggar.
A shocking wound appeared on his shoulder, rapidly spreading towards his abdomen.
Crimson blood dripped onto the ground, causing many people's pupils to contract.
They've broken through!
Armament Haki was breached.
This scene was familiar to everyone present.
After all, that just happened to Zephyr.
However, to their utter surprise, the situation reversed so quickly that even Weevil was severely injured by a single blow.
Miss Bakkin's face turned pale instantly; Weevil was her trump card.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yu managed to injure Weevil with just two strikes.
Is this still comparable to Whitebeard in his youth?
Thinking of this, Miss Bakkin couldn't help but want to speak.
In her eyes, as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
At the very least, if she and Weevil agree to become Shichibukai, they will be granted immunity from death by the World Government.
"Your turn. Use all your strength to cut me down."
Bai Yu smiled bloodthirstyly and once again pointed his Zanpakuto at the ground.
With a swift movement, he landed on the shore.
This completely unguarded attitude shook everyone to their core.
At that moment, they finally understood what Bai Yu was doing.
The scene before my eyes was like a crazy Russian roulette game.
You slash me once, I slash you once!
Whoever can't hold on any longer will be the loser.
It's fair to say that many people in the arena gasped in shock at this insane fighting style.
At least in their eyes, a life-or-death struggle is a matter of risking one's life.
Who has the courage to be so crazy as to stand still and let others chop them down?
Unless, of course, this person has an insane confidence in their own abilities.
This is the fighting style of a madman.
"Mom, it hurts so much!"
Weevil rose again from the ruins, but compared to before, he was now a far cry from his former self.
At least, a hint of fear had already appeared on that mentally challenged face.
Miss Bakkin's face was extremely gloomy, his cheeks, like withered tree bark, were full of sinister intent. After a full three or four seconds, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his face.
He gripped his cane tightly, stomped it sharply on the deck, and shouted urgently.
"My dear son, don't be afraid. This guy is incredibly arrogant. Since he's standing here letting you chop him, then use all your strength to kill him."
"This attack will definitely seriously injure him; this is a golden opportunity to make a name for himself."
In Miss Bakkin's eyes, if Bai Yu had pressed his advantage just now, she would have definitely extended an invitation from the World Government and accepted the offer to become Shichibukai.
However, Bai Yu clearly has the upper hand now, and he's even threatening to let Weevil make a move at will.
This is a great opportunity.
At least, if this attack fails to kill Bai Yu.
They could become Shichibukai again.
"Mother!"
Weevil suddenly panicked.
Miss Bakkin glared and shouted angrily.
"My dear son, hurry up and do it! Unleash your strongest attack! Even if he doesn't die, at the very least, you can take one more hit from him. With Mom here, what are you afraid of?"
The resolute words echoed across the sea.
Even a tiger won't eat its cubs!
Zephyr and the others never expected that, at this critical juncture, Miss Bakkin would make this choice.
Weevil's expression changed repeatedly. Finally, he sniffled, endured the pain, raised his naginata, and charged at Bai Yu again.
Bang!
With each step, the earth trembled violently.
At this moment, Weevil was clearly unleashing his full power. As his aura flared outwards, the naginata in his hand once again erupted with Armament Haki, along with streaks of Ryuo.
At this moment, it could be said that the naginata in Weevil's hand shone like a small sun.
He had just arrived in front of Bai Yu, within three to five meters.
Seeing that Bai Yu still didn't make a move, he steeled himself and chopped down with all his might.
Boom!
A hundred-meter-long blade of energy also pierced through the heavens and earth.
Amidst the urgency on everyone's faces, the blow landed heavily on Bai Yu.
