The vast Han'ernaba was instantly thrown into chaos.
Ace, standing to the side, was utterly dumbfounded by what he saw.
During this time, he had been following Whitebeard closely, and he had also witnessed the majesty of this man who was hailed as the strongest man of this era.
But compared to the current situation where people are completely terrified, it's clearly still a bit far off, isn't it?
Looking at the figure before him, the one he had been chasing, for a moment, Ace realized that he seemed to be falling further and further behind.
No!
It should be said that the figure he was chasing seemed to have, in some ways, surpassed Whitebeard, who was hailed as the strongest man of the old era.
"Sir, do you know me?"
Fujitora Issho and raised an eyebrow slightly.
Bai Yu smiled bloodthirstyly and took a swig of wine.
"I once heard of a rather powerful old man on this sea. Not only is he blind and addicted to gambling, but he also likes to use honorifics to address people. He has his own sense of justice, yet he refuses to join the Marine Headquarters."
"However, that's beside the point. My gut feeling tells me you're worth a shot."
" Bai Yu, are you really going to attack him? He's blind, isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Ace's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stopped Bai Yu.
Ace, Bai Yu's sworn brother, knew Bai Yu's personality all too well.
If that statement is worth uttering, then the person before him, Bai Yu, is probably no match for him.
"Heh, I didn't expect the former Marine Admiral to know me so well," Fujitora Issho.
"However, being unable to see is also a blessing in disguise. There are simply too many filthy and despicable people in this world that are unbearable to look at. I would rather not see them than witness the filth of this world."
"However, I have also heard of the deeds of former Marine Admiral War Demon Bai Yu. He stood up for the two kingdoms, killed the Shichibukai, ventured alone into Whole Cake Island to save his comrades, and even beat up Celestial Dragons in public to save Fish-Man."
"Just a day ago, in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, you publicly killed Celestial Dragons to rescue the Fish-Man Princess. Although it was all a setup, Bai Yu is quite an interesting person."
"If I hadn't closed my eyes so early, I would really love to see what Lord Bai Yu looks like."
As he spoke, Fujitora Issho gripped his cane and slowly stood up.
"Young man over there, thank you for persuading Bai Yu to stop. I appreciate your kind words."
"However, it's rare to meet such an interesting person, and it's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles."
"To be called worthy of being cut by Admiral Bai Yu is an immense honor."
Ace, standing to the side, paused for a moment.
He never expected that this blind man would dare to take the initiative to fight after learning Bai Yu's identity.
Could it be that this blind man is really that strong?
A jumble of thoughts flashed through Ace's mind.
Unfortunately, before he could react...
Fujitora Issho's Cane Sword was instantly drawn from its sheath.
Bang!
A violent force of gravity, like a raging tide, surged outwards from Fujitora Issho's center.
It instantly enveloped everything around it.
Ace, now under the influence of gravity, had a drastic change in expression.
In that instant, he felt as if he were being supported by an invisible mountain, his bones cracking and popping as if they were about to burst.
However, before Ace could react, Fujitora struck first.
Gravity Blade - Fierce Tiger!
Boom!
With a single strike, the immense force accumulated on the blade was unleashed by Fujitora, transforming into a purple gravity slash that instantly pierced through the air.
Everything along the way was crushed, including the ground itself, and even the rock beneath their feet was torn open, creating a huge chasm.
It gives people a feeling of unstoppable momentum.
Ace, who was under attack, witnessed this scene and his expression changed drastically.
Without time to think, the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit within him was instantly activated to its limit, directly unleashing Elemental Transformation.
Bang!
Ace's body was torn to shreds.
It transformed into a sky full of flames, swirling outwards, and finally reformed its body dozens of meters away.
However, Ace didn't have time to catch his breath and hurriedly looked at Bai Yu, who was standing behind him.
A bloodthirsty smile had already spread across Bai Yu's face as he felt the immense pressure emanating from him.
Bai Yu showed no intention of dodging, striding forward, unleashing the various powers dormant within him to their fullest extent.
Bang!
The Zanpakuto slashed out, and the two immense forces collided with a deafening roar.
The violent shockwave from the explosion swept across the entire area like a hurricane.
Everything around was completely shredded.
Some pirates who couldn't escape in time were even thrown overboard.
The flames that filled the sky in the distance converged once more into Ace's figure, witnessing a collision that Crush everything within a radius of hundreds of meters in a single exchange.
Such strength is simply astonishing.
At that moment, Ace finally understood why Bai Yu had come to find this blind man.
The dust swirled around them, Fujitora's figure became clear again, though his Cane Sword were already sheathed. He listened to the chaotic sounds around him.
" Admiral Bai Yu, this is probably not a good place to fight. We could easily harm innocent bystanders."
innocent?
Bai Yu smiled bloodthirstily.
" Fujitora, don't you dislike pirates? They were just playing dirty tricks on you."
"Hehe, Admiral Bai Yu, you flatter me. Aren't there good guys and bad guys among pirates too?"
Fujitora chuckled dryly and said.
"Otherwise, Admiral Bai Yu wouldn't have helped the pirates rescue the mermaid, nor would he have come with them."
"However, since Admiral Bai Yu intends to fight here, it seems you've already decided that they are all heinous pirates."
"I truly cannot bear it, but I have no choice but to take the plunge."
Buzz!
Fujitora drew his Cane Sword, which had been sheathed, once again.
This time, however, he didn't attack Bai Yu head-on. Instead, he twirled his sword and waved it in the air.
The bizarre scene made Ace pause, his face filled with confusion.
However, when Ace followed Bai Yu's gaze to the sky, Ace was completely dumbfounded.
Is this still a human battle?
Bai Yu smiled, his fingers involuntarily tightening around the Zanpakuto in his hand.
Sure enough, this trip was worthwhile. Killing the Five Elders Nusjuro yesterday only increased his template from 70.3% to 4.5%, leaving him just short of the 75% unlock threshold.
Bai Yu clearly couldn't tolerate this mere 0.2% unlock value.
That's why he hurriedly sought out Fujitora Issho.
