Despite his advanced age, he can still wield a knife!
That astonishing Observation Haki seemed to possess the ability to foresee the next three seconds. Whenever Yang Ming made a flash attack, Whitebeard Edward Newgate, as if he had foreseen the future, would draw his sword and intercept him in advance.
What was clearly just an ordinary pick-and-roll, in the hands of Edward Newgate, contained earth-shattering power. The shimmering white shockwave enveloped Murakumogiri, and every move contained the power to destroy space. The surrounding ground, walls, and ceilings were ravaged and are now just ruins. Even the Infinity Castle's self-healing ability is far from keeping up with his destructive speed.
Yang Ming, like a skilled jungle hunter, remained completely calm, his attack movements unhurried and deliberate, proceeding according to the established plan.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from Star Journey. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"
In Yang Ming's line of sight, the lottery wheel slowly appeared, with only ability as a prize.
Abilities: Shadow Manipulation, Spatial Contract, Feigning Death...
【Spatial Contract】: Spatial exchange can be used. At any time, you can exchange positions with people or objects you see. As the mass of the exchanged object increases, the exchange time will be longer and the difficulty will increase accordingly. Spatial solidification can also be used to strengthen the spatial strength of the Infinite City. The space where both parties are located is difficult to be interfered with by the outside world. You can even self-destruct the space and exile the enemy into the spatial rift, but this will completely destroy the Infinite City and make it impossible to use the Infinite City in the future.
With the strengthening of the spatial contract, the spatial strength of the Infinite City began to approach that of the external spatial barrier.
Edward Newgate, with his white beard, felt this most acutely.
His casual strike just now was enough to destroy a large area here; now, all that remains is the space cracking like glass, and the resulting strong wind.
While fighting Yang Ming, Edward Newgate, with his white beard, was also secretly pondering:
"This kid's got a devilish charm!"
"Possessing multiple elemental powers at the same time, and with considerable strength, he's practically indistinguishable from a Logia-type Devil Fruit user. Yet, he also possesses outstanding physical and sword skills, and is even able to create this alternate dimension. He's simply a monster!"
Comparing Yang Ming and Ace in his heart, Whitebeard Edward Newgate sadly realized that Ace, whom he intended to groom into the Whitebeard Pirates, was far inferior to Yang Ming.
"Tsk!"
"Did Garp save the world in his past life? He's so lucky to have found such a good disciple!"
At that moment, Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man, felt a pang of jealousy towards Garp!
Shakky, the owner of the extortion bar, runs a very successful intelligence business, and her clients are mostly powerful people. Whitebeard Edward Newgate had already learned about Yang Ming from Shakky.
The more you understand, the more heartbroken you become.
Why isn't this person a pirate?
After a series of dazzling exchanges, Edward Newgate, the white-bearded general, had probably figured out Yang Ming's strengths and weaknesses.
To put it simply, Yang Ming is like a male version of Charlotte Linlin.
Edward Newgate, the Whitebeard, was already very experienced in dealing with such a formidable enemy.
"Boom!"
Edward Newgate, with his white beard, slammed the Murakumo Slash into the ground, then raised his arms, his ten fingers forming claws, and ripped through the air.
A sound that broke the sound barrier pierced the eardrums, and the surrounding space seemed to solidify, as if it were being stretched apart like jelly.
Amidst this spatial disorder, Yang Ming's endless flashing movements were momentarily halted.
It wasn't that Yang Ming didn't want to continue teleporting, but because of the interference from the other party, this space suddenly became extremely violent, just like a calm sea suddenly turning into a raging storm. Yang Ming was like a lone boat struggling on the sea. Once he was caught in the violent spatial turbulence, he would inevitably suffer severe damage.
Moreover, that's not all!
Yang Ming quickly noticed that not only was the space disturbed, but even the balance of the surrounding elements was broken!
Everything in the world has a balance.
In fact, there are all sorts of balances in this world.
Logia-type Devil Fruits may seem powerful, but in reality, if we consider the ancient civilization ruins left on the moon, we can see that in the vast kingdom eight hundred years ago, Logia-type Devil Fruits were used as a source of power.
If this conjecture is correct, it means that Logia-type Devil Fruits can unleash various elemental skills not out of thin air, nor entirely through the consumption of one's own physical strength, but by using oneself as a medium to mobilize the ubiquitous elements in the air and attract elements that match one's Logia-type Devil Fruit, thereby amplifying skill damage and expanding skill range.
Now, with the interference of the white-bearded Edward Newgate, the surrounding elements have become completely unbalanced.
Even Ace, who was watching the battle from a distance, felt a sense of unease as a user of the Flame-Flame Fruit. This was because the fire element had been temporarily expelled, which made him so sensitive to the sensation.
In addition to that, it's not just that.
The Infinite City, spanning a radius of one hundred kilometers, began to tremble violently. The ceiling collapsed with a deafening roar, and the earth was whipped up into terrifying waves.
It's hard to imagine that such solid land could ripple like a gentle sea.
An omnipresent force of vibration swept in, transforming into suffocating pressure.
At this moment, Yang Ming had the illusion that the whole world was isolating him, rejecting him, and crushing him!
"Is this the power of the world's strongest man?"
Yang Ming was not surprised at all; on the contrary, he was delighted.
Seeing this, even Ace couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Yang Ming and couldn't help but try to dissuade him.
“Yang Ming, you don’t have to go to such lengths. Even if you can’t beat Dad, I can sneak out at night and go to the Deep Sea Prison to rescue the old man.”
Ace is only twelve years old now, the same age as Yang Ming. He hasn't experienced many setbacks or battles yet, and his thinking is still at a superficial level.
Marco, Diamond Jozu, and the others had strange expressions, showing no resentment towards Ace. On the contrary, they seemed to admire his personality.
It must be said that most of the Whitebeard Pirates' officers are people of strong character.
Perhaps only those with such pure hearts can gather together and try to create a warm home in this chaotic world.
To other pirates, this was a rather comical and ridiculous thing.
Yet, they have dedicated themselves to this cause for decades, like moths drawn to a flame, which truly deserves their admiration.
Yang Ming remained calm and composed, saying nothing more than:
"Ace, have you ever seen a knife that can cut through the power of shockwaves?"
In the next instant, Yang Ming swiftly drew his sword.
"Atomic Slash!"
Chapter 265 Your fate is in my hands; my destiny will be unstoppable!
This world has many swordsmen, and some of the most famous swordsmen have emerged. On the Whitebeard Pirates' ship, there is the famous swordsman Vista.
Vista was a tall, middle-aged man with broad shoulders, dark skin, and two distinctive, curly black mustaches. He wore a dark blue top hat, gold earrings, a ripped dark blue shirt, and a black cape, giving him a very individualistic look.
He wore white gloves on both hands and light blue trousers. He had a scabbard on each side of his waist, holding two long, pointed Western swords.
The foil style was not created by Vista, but is a famous sword style that has been passed down for hundreds of years.
The term "flower fencing" implies a thin and light blade.
Foil fencing follows a delicate approach, renowned for its swiftness. It primarily revolves around thrusting techniques, emphasizing the ability to seize the initiative and create an absolute advantage.
Vista was a highly experienced and skilled swordsman, but he was completely dumbfounded when he saw Yang Ming display the Atomic Slash technique.
With a clang, the Zanpakuto slashed rapidly, creating streaks of light that pierced the sun.
Yang Ming was not a true swordsman. He never cared about the beauty or aesthetics of swordsmanship, and his swordsmanship was not as dazzling or flashy as that of a foil sword. Instead, each of his sword strikes was extremely simple, so simple that a simple slash was enough to kill.
Vista had never seen such terrifying swordsmanship before. Even Hawkeye Mihawk's swordsmanship was not like this. Atomic Slash abandoned all defense and focused entirely on offense. Every sword move was aimed at slashing at the enemy's body, and its speed was extremely astonishing, reaching hundreds of slashes per second. The high-speed slashes created sonic booms in mid-air.
Its terrifying appearance even greatly affected the surrounding environment.
Ace felt a series of sharp blade gusts rushing towards him, followed by a slight pain on his cheek. He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it, and felt a familiar sticky sensation on his hand.
He looked down and was horrified to find that his fingertips were stained with blood.
It should be noted that in order to avoid being affected by the aftermath of the two's battle, they had already retreated to a distance of five meters, and none of them were novices; they were covered in Armament Haki the entire time.
"The aftershocks alone injured me. What kind of swordsmanship is this?"
Ace's words resonated deeply with Vista.
No, rather, as a great swordsman, Vista was more able to feel the terror of the Atomic Slash.
Bista's expression showed both excitement and trepidation as he said in a deep voice:
"Ace, your friend is no ordinary person. Even if Hawkeye Mihawk were here, he might not be a match for him!"
Upon hearing this, Ace's pupils contracted.
Hawkeye Mihawk is a great swordsman who stands at the pinnacle of the world; even Whitebeard treats him with great respect.
The fact that Bista had such a high opinion of Yang Ming clearly shows that in his mind, Yang Ming and Hawkeye Mihawk are placed side by side.
As a great swordsman with ambition, Vista was naturally eager to challenge Yang Ming.
But as he watched the endless reflections envelop Whitebeard, Vista swallowed hard. After careful consideration, he decided to follow his heart and continue watching silently.
This is definitely not cowardice!
The moment the Zanpakuto struck, time seemed to stand still.
Edward Newgate, with his white beard, could sense a terrifying power capable of destroying everything. The bright blade of light sliced through the air, and the power that surged wildly in an instant carried an astonishing force capable of splitting the sea in two. And what was revealed within this power was a crisis that could be fatal!
The sharp blade energy could cut Ace five meters away, but it had no effect on Edward Newgate, who was right next to him.
Even the terrifying slash that could slice giant sea kings into atoms couldn't harm his hardened body, because Whitebeard Edward Newgate had already broken through his physiological limits, reaching a monster-level status.
This is not only because Edward Newgate has a racial advantage, but also because he has had the Tremor-Tremor Fruit for many years and has already explored and developed it in depth, creating a method to temper his body with the power of tremors.
The power of the vibration can assist him in his cultivation, tempering his physical strength, honing the hardness of his bones, and even purifying his blood. Only in this way can he continuously improve his strength and resist the side effects of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
Even with his robust physique, he could withstand the ravages of time after death and remain intact for hundreds of years without decaying.
Edward Newgate, with his ten thick fingers clenched into a fist, grinned maliciously. A shimmering white light enveloped his fist as he laughed loudly:
"Kid, you're nowhere near as good as Garp!"
"Is this level of slashing just a tickle to me?"
The next instant, his fists thundered, as if he wanted to use his strength to break through all laws, and he fiercely struck out.
"Ora ora ...
The fists, imbued with the power of shockwaves, contained a destructive force capable of annihilating the world. The earth was torn apart, and the space of the Infinite City, which had just healed, was once again mercilessly ripped open with cracks like broken glass. Even the entire Infinite City, which spans hundreds of kilometers, began to tremble, seemingly unable to withstand the two's frenzied clash.
Snake-shaped cracks kept appearing on the floor, and these cracks were expanding at a visible speed, turning into bottomless ravines in an instant, as if there were no bottom at all.
Ace and the others retreated again and again, until they were more than a hundred meters away, but they still felt unsafe. This was because the ground in front of them had almost turned into terrifying ravines, making the space extremely unstable. Even the air was filled with an aura of restlessness and destruction, which made them deeply uneasy.
terrible!
