Countless forces around the world are watching the battle between Uya and Red-Haired.
When that abyss appeared, tearing apart half of Red-Haired' territory and nearly severing the Grand Line, countless forces were shocked. This scene was even more awe-inspiring than when Uya summoned a giant meteorite.
That meteorite destroyed only one island, but this sword strike spanned countless islands, nearly severing the Grand Line in half!
The waves gradually subsided, but everyone's hearts remained restless.
Faced with such a sword strike, these people were no longer concerned with whether Red-Haired Shanks had been defeated, but rather whether Shanks was dead.
"Is it over?!"
"Even Hawk-Eye couldn't pull off a strike like that..."
Gazing at the gradually calming sea, someone couldn't help but murmur.
What just happened was almost unbelievable, like a dream, as if it were just an illusion, but the chasm that stretched across the island revealed its reality.
Even the officers of the Red Hair Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, as well as the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Navy, and the World Government, were all terrified.
Even if these people weren't pirates from the Four Emperors ' pirate crews, they had all had some contact with the Four Emperors and knew what the Four Emperors represented and what kind of power they possessed.
Uya had previously demonstrated—whether it was single-handedly defeating the Big Mom Pirates or summoning a meteor to obliterate Kaido of the Beasts —while terrifying, was still within the realm of comprehension.
To the Navy, the Seven Warlords, and other pirates, Uya's strength is equivalent to a slightly stronger Four Emperors Four Emperors pirate crew.
But now, the terror of this sword strike is beyond what even the Four Emperors can achieve!
A single sword strike traversed nearly half of the Grand Line; such power was not merely slightly stronger than that of the Four Emperors, it was as if they were on a completely different level!
Red-Haired Shanks, Kaido of the Beasts, and even Big Mom are all very strong, but compared to the sharpness of Uya's sword, they are like Fire Fly compared to the bright moon.
"Such terrifying swordsmanship exists in the world..."
" Uya Yuya's strength has probably reached a level we can't even begin to comprehend. I wonder if Whitebeard, who is known as the strongest in the world and possesses the power to destroy the world, could possibly fight him."
" Whitebeard was a very strong monster, but... twenty years have passed. It's uncertain whether he can still unleash the power he had back then."
Many people couldn't help but show awe on their faces, and their eyes still held a trace of disbelief.
For twenty years, no one could shake the title of the world's strongest. Even the later rise of Red-Haired Shanks, Kaido of the Beasts, and Big Mom could not dethrone Whitebeard's title World's Strongest Man.
But now, the title of Whitebeard is clearly on the verge of collapse!
Before Uya's battle with Shanks, many people who had seen Whitebeard and even witnessed Whitebeard power thought that Uya's chances of becoming the world's strongest were uncertain.
But now, Uya's swordsmanship has reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship, and with a single strike, he unleashed an almost unbelievable slash that severed nearly half of the Grand Line!
Even if Whitebeard were still at his peak, he probably wouldn't have been able to achieve such terrifying power, let alone twenty years later. No one knows how much power the aged Whitebeard still possesses.
Is the title of "world's strongest" finally about to change hands?
World Government.
"Such power... even the Ancient Weapons we know of... are probably no more than this."
"How could such a person exist in the world, capable of fighting against Ancient Weapons with a human body? Or is he himself an Ancient Weapons comparable to the three Ancient Weapons?"
When the Five Elders saw Uya cleave nearly half of the Grand Line in two with a single sword strike, they were all trembling with shock, their eyes wide and their foreheads covered in cold sweat.
This power is something that even the highest authorities in the World Government, the rulers who govern the entire world, would tremble in fear of.
"And that guy also has Conqueror's Haki..."
"It seems he didn't kill Red-Haired either. He could have easily killed him, but he didn't. What should we do?"
For a moment, the conference hall, a symbol of supreme power, fell silent.
After a long silence, someone finally spoke slowly, saying in a deep voice, "One person represents an entire force, just like the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but the threat is even greater. I think trying to eliminate him is a foolish choice."
"That's right. Besides, he did join the Navy before. Although we don't know his purpose, he didn't show any hostility, so... let's continue with the original plan. However, I suggest we slightly modify the plan and elevate his status by one rank. What do you think?"
I second that.
"I second that; it is indeed not advisable to be hostile to them."
I second that.
I second that.
After witnessing the sharpness of Uya's sword, none of the Five Elders wanted to be Uya enemy, and they no longer cared about Uya purpose.
The World Government was able to establish and tolerate the existence of the Seven Warlords of the Sea Seven Warlords of the Sea, a system that legalizes piracy.
Faced with a being like Uya, who possesses power nearly capable of destroying the world, even the Five Elders, as the rulers of the World Government, are unwilling to become his enemy.
Marine Headquarters.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku stared at the scene depicting a chasm that stretched across half of Red-Haired' territory and even extended outwards, nearly severing the Grand Line in two, and remained silent for a long time.
His mind went blank, and he didn't even know what to say. He was filled with disbelief. Even the Pirate King Roger didn't have such power.
This kind of power is almost beyond human capabilities... It seems that only legendary Ancient Weapons possess such power.
" Uya... could it be that you have obtained some special power originating from ancient times, comparable to the three Ancient Weapons? Or perhaps you already possess one of the Ancient Weapons...?"
"Forget it, this is beyond my control. I'm sure the higher-ups are already considering how to deal with it." Sengoku slowly shook his head.
At first, Uya single-handedly defeated the Big Mom Pirates, and later killed Kaido of the Beasts. Many people were only shocked by Uya's strength, but did not think about the source of Uya's power.
However, when Uya nearly severed half of the Grand Line with a single sword strike, countless people were shocked and began to ponder the source of Uya's power.
Uya's power is completely unlike anything a human could possess. Even Devil Fruit couldn't grant such immense power. Furthermore, in terms of swordsmanship, no great swordsman could unleash a strike like Uya's.
This inevitably reminds countless people of the three Ancient Weapons.
Uranus, Poseidon, Pluton.
The three Ancient Weapons are said to possess the power to destroy the world, a power that humanity cannot withstand. Many people suspect that Uya's power may be related to these legendary Ancient Weapons.
Did Uya discover some ancient ruins, thereby gaining power comparable to the three Ancient Weapons? Or perhaps Uya obtained one of the three Ancient Weapons?!
While countless people felt awe for this power, they couldn't help but feel a burning passion within them.
Although most people dared not easily come to cause trouble for Uya, many forces were secretly watching, and at the same time, some forces began to try to find the three lost Ancient Weapons.
The world is beginning to stir with undercurrents. (To be continued.)
