"In that case, I will not show any mercy!"

"watch out!"

The ultimate showdown is about to begin.

Chapter 263 You either get trampled underfoot or climb to the top by stepping on others.

The trees want to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop.

The fierce winds whipped up the sea, causing the waves to surge and crash against the Moby Dick's side. The force of the waves was so great that even the massive pirate ship trembled.

Seeing Yang Ming agree to Whitebeard's request, Ace's pupils constricted slightly, and he secretly thought that something was wrong.

"Yang Ming, have you thought this through? Your father isn't Kaido of the Beasts. If the two of you really start fighting, things will get very bad!"

Unexpectedly, before Ace could finish speaking, Marco suddenly raised his hand and blocked Ace's way.

Marco, with his back to Ace, usually looked sleepy and squinted at everyone, but now he suddenly opened his eyes wide, his face extremely solemn.

“Ace, perhaps you underestimate your friend.”

"From the moment the other party boarded the ship, this Asura General kept probing my father."

"While it may seem like your father is backing you up, isn't he also warning this Shura Admiral not to think that just because he killed Kaido of the Beasts and wiped out the Beasts Pirates, he can bully us at will!"

Upon hearing this, Ace's body trembled violently.

Given Ace's straightforward nature, he hadn't really thought that far ahead.

However, when Ace recalled his childhood, when Garp and his lieutenant were teaching them physical skills and tactics, he, Luffy, and Sabo would always doze off during tactics lessons. Only Yang Ming always wrote diligently, constantly taking notes, and he always got full marks on tests, often earning Garp's praise. On the contrary, the three of them always got beaten up.

For a moment, Ace smiled wryly.

"That's really his style."

Seeing that Ace seemed to have realized what was going on, Marco secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Marco was genuinely worried that this hothead, who had just boarded the pirate ship, might act rashly out of enthusiasm, so he made a point of admonishing him. Now it seems that the effect was a bit too good, didn't it?

And judging from Ace's tone, was this Shura General like this since childhood?

Genuine! Old silver coin!

Immediately, Marco turned to look at Yang Ming and said in a deep voice:

"It's not convenient for you and your father to fight on the ship. How about we find a nearby island and then you can fight it out yourselves?"

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."

Yang Ming's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

"Let's have our duel right here."

After saying that, without waiting for anyone else to react, Yang Ming spread his five fingers and slammed them onto the deck.

"Blood Demon Art! Infinite Castle!"

The next instant, to the astonishment of everyone present, the deck beneath their feet gradually transformed into a quaint and secluded portico. Rows of paper screens divided the space into rooms of varying sizes, the paper doors depicting picturesque landscapes of green mountains and clear waters, adding to the tranquil and timeless atmosphere.

But the strangest thing is that they were originally on the vast and boundless sea of ​​the Grand Line, but now they suddenly appear in an enormous mansion.

Ace was like a husky that had wandered into a house, looking left and right, finding everything new and interesting.

They are now in a house full of old-fashioned charm. The floor is covered with tatami mats, and there are closets for storing things. There is an alcove used to entertain guests, and a life-sized scroll hangs on the wall of the alcove with flower arrangements below. There is a table in the living room, with tatami mats on all four sides. On the table are a coffee table and sweets, which seem to be for entertaining guests.

The Infinite City, as the name suggests, is a huge space constructed using Yang Ming's spiritual power.

Material foundation determines spirit, and spirit influences matter.

The stronger Yang Ming's physique, the better his mental strength grows, just like driving a sports car at high speed on a straight highway.

Through years of continuous accumulation and the superposition of countless passive skills, Yang Ming's physique is monstrous, even surpassing that of Kaido of the Beasts.

For this reason, the infinite city that Yang Ming constructed with his spiritual power has a vast space, nearly one hundred square kilometers, which is equivalent to the size of a county-level city.

The strange changes in the surrounding scenery made everyone present subconsciously think of the power of Devil Fruits.

But, is this possible?

This incredible and unpredictable technique transformed the ocean scene into an ancient house. It truly is the power of a Devil Fruit. What kind of Devil Fruit could possess such an ability?

Suddenly, doubts arose in everyone's minds.

Edward Newgate, the Whitebeard, was far more knowledgeable than his own children. As a former member of the Rocks Pirates, he had come into contact with countless secrets of the sea and possessed a Devil Fruit encyclopedia that recorded all the Devil Fruits that had appeared on the sea over the past eight hundred years and their corresponding abilities. However, there was absolutely no Devil Fruit that could possess the ability to change the scene like this.

Moreover, perhaps because the Tremor-Tremor Fruit can shatter space, Whitebeard Edward Newgate has a somewhat ambiguous understanding of space. He can clearly feel that the mansion he is in feels completely different from the outside world.

If we eliminate all impossible possibilities, then in other words, there are only two possibilities.

Alternatively, Yang Ming could create a huge space with every gesture, encompassing them within it.

Alternatively, Yang Ming could transfer them to another space without anyone noticing!

Regardless of the reason, it means that this young general is truly unfathomable.

"No wonder this kid was able to kill Kaido, he's really got some skills."

Thinking this to himself, Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man, couldn't help but smile slightly.

"I haven't done anything big in a long time. If I demolish your house later, don't cry in front of me."

As the words fell, Edward Newgate, with his white beard, leaned on Murakumogiri with one hand, while clenching his other hand into a fist. A shimmering white light surrounded his fist, and even the air seemed to tremble slightly.

Despite his seemingly frail body, he was still full of vitality. On his arm, which was thicker than an elephant's leg, the muscles suddenly swelled up, and the veins, like those of an eel, bulged out, twitching as if they were alive.

"Air shock!"

An ordinary punch produced a sonic boom, like the sound of a Boeing passenger plane taking off and rubbing against the air.

"boom!"

The spatial strength of the Infinite Castle is ultimately not as strong as the spatial barrier in One Piece. Whitebeard Edward Newgate could at most cause the space to crack like shattered glass in the outside world, but here it was quite exaggerated. The cracks meandered and spread like snakes, and the small room was directly shattered, revealing endless wooden corridors and countless giant wooden pillars that were as thick as five people could hug.

Fortunately, the Infinite City was indeed sturdy and was not destroyed; only one room was destroyed.

The combined power of Armament Haki and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit created a terrifying shockwave that swept across the ground, even flattening the tatami floorboards and turning them into flying debris that drifted through the air.

Faced with such a terrifying attack, Yang Ming seemed to vanish from the spot, disappearing without a trace, causing the shockwave to miss its target and destroying the entire area.

Edward Newgate, the white-bearded general, was a highly experienced fighter with Observation Haki far surpassing that of ordinary people. He was always on high alert and quickly sensed an unusual movement coming from somewhere behind him. Without even turning around, his body reacted first, raising his arm and slapping it back as if swatting away an annoying fly.

The Infinite City was created by Yang Ming. Within this vast space, Yang Ming can freely appear anywhere, essentially possessing a teleport that ignores distance and obstacles and has no cooldown time!

It's too late, but it's soon.

Yang Ming flashed behind Edward Newgate, taking only 0.1 seconds—a time that wouldn't even make an ordinary person blink—yet Edward Newgate reacted in time.

It's easy to imagine how vast the gap is between ordinary people and these top experts.

In fact, many ordinary people would consider Edward Newgate, with his white beard, to be a god among men.

"when!"

Yang Ming raised his sword and slashed down fiercely, unexpectedly colliding with Edward Newgate's large, fan-like hand. There was no feeling of the sword penetrating his body; instead, it was as if the blade had struck an indestructible rock, producing an extremely crisp sound.

Even the Zanpakuto couldn't leave a white mark on the opponent's palm.

The strength of Armament Haki depends on physical strength. Whitebeard Edward Newgate's physique is unparalleled, far surpassing even ordinary giants, so the strength of his Armament Haki naturally increases accordingly.

Yang Ming did not give up. His dark pupils gradually turned crimson, and the black windmill-shaped pattern slowly rotated. A fleeting glimpse of dark blue flashed deep within his pupils. With the abilities of the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, he observed his opponent's movements while trying to detect the death lines on his opponent's body.

Suddenly, Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man, felt a chill run down his spine.

An unprecedented malice enveloped his entire body. His Observation Haki sent a tremor through him, causing him to subconsciously make the most accurate choice. His tiger body suddenly shuddered violently, sending the shockwave throughout his body, making him look like a hedgehog with its quills spread out, leaving Yang Ming with no way to attack.

Yang Ming disagreed. If the other party were really that easy to deal with, he wouldn't be called the strongest man in the world.

With his back to the group of pirates and to Ace, Yang Ming said without turning his head:

"Ace, look carefully!"

"In this world, you are either trampled underfoot or you climb to the top by stepping on others."

A blazing flame, so intense it moved even Ace, appeared. The flame, reaching a temperature of 5700 degrees Celsius, even made his body, which had eaten the Flame-Flame Fruit, tremble, yet it also carried a strong longing.

The terrifying heat caused the air in the Infinite City to rise violently. Against the backdrop of crimson flames and purple lightning, the young general looked like an invincible war god who had stepped out of mythology.

Chapter 264 Teaching Ace (×) Showing off in front of Ace (√)

Tatami floors, paper windows, sand-textured walls, and mahogany beams combine to create the antique-style interior of Infinite City.

In this infinite city, it feels like living in a huge city, with various corridors connecting all the houses, and spiral staircases leading to the upper floors. Looking up the staircases, you can hardly see the end.

Although the Infinite City was wonderful, no sunlight could penetrate into this otherworldly space. Only the dim candlelight burning on the walls on both sides of the corridor could add a touch of eeriness to the place, giving it a somewhat ghostly atmosphere.

Suddenly, a terrifying explosion erupted from inside a house.

The powerful shockwave swept through the area, engulfing large numbers of houses and instantly reducing them to dust. Even the tatami floorboards were plowed into the ground, leaving a deep, long mark that was a horrifying sight.

A towering, imposing figure stood in the center of the ruins, holding a life-sized Murakumogiri sword. The shockwave emanating from his body distorted his appearance, making him look like a glitch in a video.

But no one would underestimate this old man, much less carelessly approach within three meters of him, otherwise, before even making contact with the white-bearded Edward Newgate, they would be shaken to the point of vomiting blood by the shockwave emanating from his body.

Under the warning of Observation Haki, even though Whitebeard Edward Newgate was unaware of the existence of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, which is completely unreasonable, he had already taken precautions against Yang Ming, allowing the shockwave to permeate his entire body, enough to prevent Yang Ming from attacking him.

Of course, this practice of spreading shockwaves throughout his body was also a considerable drain on Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man.

If he were young, doing this wouldn't cause much harm; on the contrary, it could provide a proper massage to the muscles and even keep him in a state of constant excitement.

However, now that he is old and frail, the shockwave covering his entire body will cause his muscles to loosen, and even his bones to become porous, which will further lead to symptoms such as relaxation of the body's meridians.

A figure flashed around the old man repeatedly, moving so fast that it was almost invisible.

In the alternate dimension of Infinite City, Yang Ming can freely appear in any corner, essentially allowing him to teleport infinitely.

That's how we achieved what outsiders see as an incredible speed, almost like cheating.

It was truly a white flash on the battlefield!

Every time Yang Ming appeared, he would unleash a stunning slash.

Frost, gale, flame, and lightning intertwined and struck out in the form of Steel-Cutting Flash. Each strike was enough to easily cleave a huge chasm in the sea, making Ace, Marco, and the others realize that Yang Ming's ability to kill Kaido of the Beasts was not a coincidence, but entirely because he truly possessed such destructive power.

But Edward Newgate with his white beard isn't bad either!
