One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

Page 836

The first thing to be severed was the almost stagnant air, followed by the terrifying power released by Whitebeard.

It sliced through the entire island and the sea.

The rocks and seawater that had been thrown dozens of meters into the air crashed back down onto the sea surface.

Both the Dragon Hunter Guild and the Whitebeard Pirates, who were clinging tightly to the mast on the ship, were stunned by the sight before them!

First, the island where Abel and Whitebeard fought has completely disappeared.

Only two small plots of land remained, which became their final resting place.

Then came the violent tremors that triggered a tsunami, which whipped up towering waves that surged in a certain direction.

Fortunately, they weren't in that direction.

However, it doesn't really matter even if the tsunami is coming this way.

This area of sea has been divided into two parts.

Abel's strike was a true slash that cut through the sea!

The ocean on both sides is about a meter apart, and there is nothing in between except air.

But as if cursed by some unhealable force, they could not be connected.

Moreover, this huge 'trench' stretches for more than ten kilometers, and you can't see the end of it at a glance.

Even Hawkeye Mihawk couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

With his strength, he is also capable of achieving 'water slicing'.

For example, he once cut off a newly formed wave with a single stroke.

However, if you asked him to 'cut the sea,' he couldn't do it either.

Not to mention such a long distance.

But that's not the worst part.

"It's been 10 seconds."

"what?"

"The sea in front of us has not closed in more than 10 seconds."

"!!!"

Hawkeye was the first to spot the blind spot.

This means that Abel's 'cutting the sea' was not just because the sword was fast, but there were other reasons involved.

It could be some kind of power, some kind of swordsmanship technique, or something else entirely.

That's what makes the impossible possible.

It wasn't until almost 20 seconds later that the sea, which had been split in two, seemed to suddenly realize what was happening, healed its wounds, and returned to its original, whole state.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Whitebeard stood on one of the two remaining pieces of land, momentarily lost in thought.

He had just experienced the tolling of death with that one blow.

He wasn't confident he could withstand that blow; he figured he wouldn't die, but he wouldn't be seriously injured.

But the final blow didn't land on him; instead, it slashed past him.

Was the cut off at an angle?

how is this possible.

This joke is not funny at all.

Whitebeard would never think that way.

So there is only one answer...

This left Whitebeard with mixed feelings.

He had always been lenient with those he trusted, but he never imagined he would experience that feeling himself one day.

He didn't reach for the [Murakumo-giri] sticking out next to him.

There's no need to continue fighting.

However, the result was very different from what he had initially imagined.

It seems there's no way to deny getting old anymore.

Whitebeard sighed inwardly, his expression towards Abel somewhat complicated.

But at the same time, another thought arose in his mind: "If it's this kid, he might really be able to overthrow the Celestial Dragons' rule, change the whole world, and usher in a new era."

Then he gave a helpless smile.

What does this have to do with him?

After all, he didn't care whether he was the Pirate King or the King of the World.

All he cares about is his family.

"I'm sorry, Dad has let you down."

Chapter 1008 Feeling Fear

Until the very end, Whitebeard wasn't thinking about how losing to Abel would damage his reputation.

Rather, he didn't want to disappoint his 'sons'.

Perhaps everyone cares about different things.

At least for now, Abel would find it difficult to understand Whitebeard's feelings at this moment.

"That last strike... you thought I couldn't withstand it, so you deliberately veered off course, didn't you?"

After a moment of silence, Whitebeard spoke up and asked.

Abel shook his head. "New weapons, new moves, I'm just not quite used to them yet. If we want to continue fighting, we'll probably have to go somewhere else."

Whitebeard simply snorted, "No need to consider my feelings. I, Edward Newgate, am not that fragile. Abel, you've won this duel. That strike... was powerful."

Whitebeard puffed out his chest and readily accepted the result.

A win is a win, and a loss is a loss.

He disdained such self-deceptive practices.

"Whitebeard truly lives up to his reputation; today's battle was exhilarating."

Since Whitebeard said he would stop fighting and admitted defeat, Abel naturally wouldn't pursue the matter any further. Instead, they started a mutual flattery session.

After all, Whitebeard's strength is undeniable, and no one with eyes can belittle him.

Because belittling such an opponent is actually belittling oneself.

Furthermore, Whitebeard did indeed help Abel in the past.

Whether it was sending people to try to rescue him from Kaido, or leading the Whitebeard Pirates into Whole Cake Island and trapping Big Mom in her lair, it was all a genuine expression of goodwill.

If Teach hadn't stirred things up this time, the two sides wouldn't have gotten so tense.

"Dad!"

"President!"

"We've come to pick you up."

The battle between Abel and Whitebeard directly destroyed and sank an island. It wasn't until the aftershocks gradually subsided that two ships arrived to pick them up.

They were also very curious about who had won.

Judging from the result, the seawater rising into the sky was likely the work of Whitebeard.

That severing of the sea was undoubtedly caused by Abel.

Neither of them had any injuries that appeared to be extremely serious.

Therefore, it's not easy to judge.

We can only judge by the details. It seems that Abel is slightly better, while Whitebeard has a fist mark on his chest and bloodstains at the corner of his mouth...

Before boarding the ship, Whitebeard made no attempt to hide his defeat, stating frankly, "From today onwards, the title of the world's strongest... has changed hands. Teach is no longer a member of our Whitebeard Pirates. This matter is settled, and no one is allowed to use this as a reason to cause him any more trouble."

"Do you understand everything?"

"what?!"

Whitebeard's words shocked Marco and the others, and they found them hard to understand.

Old Man Whitebeard actually lost?!

They didn't want to believe it, but they had no choice but to.

Because the father they knew would never joke about something like this.

A win is a win, and a loss is a loss!

He lived an honest and upright life.

This made them very upset.

Doesn't Dad's defeat to Abel prove that Teach's choice was right?

Furthermore, they were not allowed to cause any more trouble for Teach.

How could they accept this?
