The two essentially identical Power of Tremors collided, creating an even more violent conflict and causing earth-shattering destruction.
Almost instantly, the ice surrounding Uya and Whitebeard shattered, turning into countless ice shards that scattered in all directions and were further pulverized into even more crystalline powder.
Furthermore, the cracking of the ice layer did not stop, but spread directly in all directions. Centered on Uya and Whitebeard, the ice layer crumbled inch by inch, turning into powder that rose into the air!
From a distance, this scene resembles a giant, crystal-clear ice flower blooming on the frozen sea, an incomparably beautiful sight.
But within this beauty lies a terror that makes one feel as if they've fallen into an ice cellar!
Along with the entire ocean, stretching for countless meters, a tremendous pressure surged forth as the sea trembled violently.
This is the terrifying air pressure formed after the shock. The atmosphere was almost distorted by the Seaquake collision between Uya and Whitebeard, collapsing and pressing down in all directions!
Even though the Whitebeard Pirates were standing quite far away, they were still affected. Fortunately, almost none of them were weak, and most of them were still able to stand.
At this moment, however, no one was shocked by the terrifying momentum; everyone was speechless and stunned, with expressions of near disbelief on their faces!
boom!!!
After a deafening roar, the aftershocks finally subsided.
In the center, the ice beneath Uya and Whitebeard's feet had collapsed, creating a huge crater filled with cracks.
Both Uya and Whitebeard remained in the same position, their swords clashing and their fists facing each other in mid-air.
The aftershocks of the Power of Tremors seemed to still be colliding.
Time seemed to stand still.
Finally, in the next instant, under the incredulous gaze of countless people, the traces of air shattering in front of Whitebeard's fist suddenly dissipated and vanished.
In a direct collision, Whitebeard's Power of Tremors Power of Tremors utterly no match for Uya's, and was forcefully shattered!
At this moment, it wasn't just Whitebeard's captains who were incredulous; even Whitebeard himself showed a hint of disbelief.
Uya can also use the power of Tremor, and... he's even stronger than him!
Buzz!!
After Uya's Power of Tremors shattered Whitebeard's Power of Tremors, the remaining aftershocks crashed down on Whitebeard.
A visible halo of light appeared in the air and suddenly pushed towards Whitebeard. At the same time, it shattered the already cracked ice between the two into countless crystalline powders. The impact, carrying these ice particles, bombarded Whitebeard!
Whitebeard, no longer able to process his shock, immediately withdrew his fist and gripped his naginata with both hands in the face of the Power of Tremors from the attack.
boom!!!
The Power of Tremors crashed down, forcefully knocking Whitebeard back. This was the first time Whitebeard had ever experienced being knocked back by Power of Tremors, the first time he had ever felt the same way his former enemies had felt!
Click! Click!!
Whitebeard withstood the impact, his feet shattering the cracked ice and embedding themselves in it, preventing his body from leaning backward.
Even so, the ice beneath his feet continued to crumble, and his body, still gripping the naginata with both hands, was constantly being pushed back.
As if plowing through the land, it carved a deep trench in the ice, and finally its back slammed into the ice wall at the edge of the crater behind it, then smashed through the ice wall and was knocked back again.
Ice shards flew everywhere.
Whitebeard crashed through more than ten meters of ice wall before finally stopping!
At this moment, there was already a distance of tens of meters between Whitebeard and Uya. In other words, in the head-on collision with Uya, Whitebeard was forced back tens of meters by Uya's punch!
Even more astonishing was that the warship not far behind Uya remained completely unscathed, without suffering any impact whatsoever!
Marco and the others were already stunned.
At this moment, even Fleet Admiral Sengoku at Marine Headquarters showed an expression of near disbelief.
Before the Great Pirate Era, Sengoku had clashed with Whitebeard countless times and was extremely familiar with Whitebeard's power.
It is precisely because I understand Whitebeard's power that I am so awestruck!
Everyone thought Uya would use his terrifying swordsmanship to fight Whitebeard, but unexpectedly, Uya used the same Tremor-Tremor Fruit power as Whitebeard, and even knocked Whitebeard back dozens of meters!
Even though Whitebeard was old and might not have the strength he had at his peak, it was still an almost unbelievable thing to Sengoku.
Defeating Big Mom with one punch and knocking Whitebeard back with one punch are two completely different things!
At this point, even Sengoku couldn't help but begin to doubt whether Uya possessed some kind of Ancient Weapons. Could Ancient Weapons really have such terrifying power?!
"It's no longer just a simple air vibration, but has reached the level of spatial vibration? Well, without such power, it's not so easy to remain at the top of the world for decades."
After sending Whitebeard flying with a single punch, Uya slowly withdrew his fist and simultaneously retrieved the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword, standing there quietly.
When air vibrates to its extreme, it naturally causes space to vibrate. When space vibrates to its extreme, it naturally distorts and then shatters. However, Uya estimated that even at his peak, Whitebeard was unlikely to reach the point of shattering space; being able to distort space would already be his limit.
However, in this world, even if it caused space to distort, probably very few people could withstand it. On the entire sea, in that era, there were only a handful of people who could rival Whitebeard, such as Garp, Golden Lion Shiki Sengoku, and Pirate King Roger.
Even among these people, Whitebeard's individual strength remains undisputed as the strongest, which is why he holds the title of the World's Strongest Man!
"Dad... Dad..."
"Dad."
The Whitebeard Pirates, including Marco and the other captains, only snapped out of their daze at this moment, exclaiming in surprise and some even preparing to rush over.
Just then, with a loud crash, amidst the scattering of countless ice fragments, the Whitebeard, carrying a naginata, stepped out from the shattered ice.
Although Uya was knocked back dozens of meters by Whitebeard's punch, his Armament Haki was still very strong, and he was not injured, only his aura became somewhat scattered.
Seeing that Whitebeard came out unharmed, Marco and the others breathed a sigh of relief and stopped in their tracks.
However, when they turned to look at Uya on the other side, they couldn't help but show a hint of fear. The power that Uya displayed was truly unimaginable!
"Why... do you possess my power?"
After taking a few steps, Whitebeard stopped. Although his expression returned to calm, his heart was still turbulent and restless.
This world may have things like the Mirror-Mirror Fruit or the Copy-Copy Fruit, which can temporarily copy the power of others, but it can never reach the level of Uya.
Whitebeard could sense that Uya's control over the Power of Tremors was almost perfect; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to protect the warship not far behind him from damage until now!
This perfect control proves that Uya did not merely copy his power temporarily, but truly possessed the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and even used it frequently, to the point of being proficient in it!
"Your power... is this what you mean?"
Uya casually raised his fist, a white halo appearing on it, and said calmly to Whitebeard, "If you're talking about the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, that's indeed your power, but if you're referring to the Power of Tremors... you're not the only one who can use it." (To be continued.)
