Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Come on, come on!

Whitebeard's spirit was visibly high, and not in a normal way. "The only one who can be my opponent here is you!"

"Even though you barely have any consciousness left, is fighting still the most important thing in your subconscious?"

Luffy raised his head and looked directly at Whitebeard. "In this respect, you are exactly the same as Rocks and Harald."

Upon hearing those two familiar names, the unconscious Whitebeard paused for a moment.

A barely perceptible flicker of emotion flashed in those crazed eyes.

Those were the strongmen of their era.

Does the body still have instinctive consciousness?

Luffy is getting more and more excited. Back then, he had Toki send the demonized Rocks and Harald to the future. He doesn't know where they are now, but it should be within the next few years.

Anyway, this era will definitely be quite lively.

The top fighters shouldn't fade away so quickly. Luffy seems even more passionate about competing with these powerful figures for the title of Pirate King.

This is the battle he wanted, and that is the sea he desired.

First, let's wake this unconscious guy up.

bass!

A white light appeared in Luffy's hand.

"Use your most familiar skills as a greeting gift."

Luffy clenched his fist.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

A punch was thrown!

"Gods, beware!"

Whitebeard swung his Murakumogiri horizontally, using a technique he learned from Roger to parry the attack.

A divine evasion?

"Gods may avoid me, but I will not!"

If it were a god like Enel from Skypiea, Luffy would think he's way more awesome than a god.

Boom!

It was as if the heavens and earth were shaking.

The moment the two forces collided, the entire island trembled, and towering waves surged up the coastline.

A torrent of emotion emanated from their eyes.

One was a blackish-red torrent, the other a purplish-red torrent.

The Conqueror's Haki intertwined, and the originally cloudy sky split open from the center, allowing sunlight to pour down and shine on the two of them.

A fierce wind howled, blowing Luffy's hair and causing Whitebeard's cloak, bearing the Whitebeard Pirates' insignia, to flutter in the wind.

Whoosh!

Whitebeard moved swiftly, charging forward with Murakumogiri in hand.

Its enormous body moved with lightning speed, and the ground trembled with every step it took.

With a thought, Luffy instantly transformed the dagger at his waist into a black blade. Gripping the blade with both hands, he swooped down and attacked his opponent.

when!

boom! !

The swords crossed, and the resulting shock and roar shook the entire island. The shockwave spread outwards from the two of them, snapping trees, cracking rocks, and plowing the earth wherever it passed.

In the distance, Kuzan watched this scene and sighed softly.

"Seriously, they're all monsters."

He raised the bottle in his hand and waved it towards the setting sun. "Professor Zephyr, may you rest in peace."

Then he turned and walked towards the Moby Dick.

Over there, Marco and his men had already disembarked and were heading towards the battlefield.

We don't know yet whether they are friend or foe.

Can there be pure friendship among pirates?

Don't be ridiculous, backstabbing is the common perception of most pirates.

"Has a fight already broken out?"

Ace stared solemnly at the Conqueror's Haki wave soaring into the sky in the distance.

The black and red lightning intertwined, dyeing half the sky with eerie colors. He could sense that two monstrous beings were clashing with all their might.

"Mr. Ace, leave that to Mr. Luffy."

Jinbe walked over, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Jinbe knew something about Whitebeard's current physical condition.

Since the Impel Down War, Old Man lost the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, but his physical condition has returned to its peak. The only downside is the aftereffects of his demonization.

He would occasionally fall into this manic, battle-craved state, and no one without Conqueror's Haki could wake him up.

I heard that the last time Dad went into a state of madness, it was Ace and Shiki who worked together to wake him up.

We need to explain the current situation of our father first, otherwise it would be bad if the two captains started fighting over there, and the Whitebeard Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates also started a full-scale war over here.

"It's Jinbe. Long time no see."

Marco walked over there, followed by several captains of the Whitebeard Pirates.

His gaze lingered on Jinbe for a moment, then turned to the uniquely designed Thousand Sunny in the distance, and the Straw Hat crew slowly approaching.

"What an outrageous group! How did Ace's brother manage to gather such a bunch of people?" Marco remarked.

What if we suddenly feel like we're slightly inferior?

A joking voice rang out, and then Jozu, Vista, Izo, and the other captains appeared.

They were all renowned powerhouses in the New World, having fought alongside Whitebeard for many years.

"Jinbe, Ace, what's going on?"

Nami stepped forward and asked.

She and Vivi had met Ace once in Alabasta and knew he was Luffy's brother, but the current situation was too chaotic.

The entire sea area was in complete chaos.

Jinbe is an acquaintance of the Whitebeard Pirates, and judging from his expression, he should know something. Whitebeard looks strange, and Luffy didn't explain much about his corruption to them.

Ace quickly explained his father's current situation.

Ever since the Impel Down War, the old man's semi-demonized state has persisted.

Normally it's fine, but whenever I get emotional or encounter a strong opponent, that state will be triggered.

The ship's doctor was also helpless, after all, this was a side effect of the Devil Fruit's power.

"So, Whitebeard is currently out of control?" Nami breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that the two pirate crews don't have to fight anymore. She thought that when Luffy met her again, he would declare war on the pirate crew that her brother belonged to.

First it was the NEO Marines led by former Admiral Zephyr, then the Marines led by Admiral Kizaru, and now it's the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the Four Emperors. They must be exhausted from fighting.

Dealing with so many powerful forces one after another, even the Straw Hat crew was finding it hard to keep up.

"Uncontrollable, but not completely irrational. Dad's consciousness is still there, but his fighting instincts will take over, especially when facing a strong enough opponent."

Before Marco could finish speaking, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from the other side.

boom!

A powerful, overwhelming aura of Conqueror's Haki surged towards them.

As if a sudden gust of wind had blown, Ace instinctively covered his hat, causing his black hair under the brim to flutter wildly.

"Has it gotten this bad?"

Ace looked at Luffy in the center, where a white figure was entangled with the giant whitebeard, and each collision produced a deafening roar.

His lips unconsciously curled up into a smile. "Luffy has indeed grown a lot in the past two years."

He has already defeated Kaido, and his bounty is even higher than that of his father.

My brother is really something else.

When they parted ways in Alabasta, Luffy was just a newcomer who had just entered the Grand Line, but now he stands at the pinnacle of the pirate world.

Seeing the increasingly violent collision, Marco gently reminded them, "Newcomers, step back. This is no longer a battlefield for you to meddle in."

Before the pirates behind could react to these inexplicable words...

next moment.

Swish! !

A fierce wind is blowing!

Two powerful auras clashed and surged towards this side, their invisible pressure crushing down like a tangible force, making the air thicken.

Rumble!

Thunder rumbled.

A dull thud rang out.

The two unleashed their Conqueror's Haki in rapid succession, and countless dark red lightning bolts exploded on the sea surface, making the entire ocean seem to boil instantly.

Deep craters were blasted into the sea, and waves shot into the sky, only to be blasted into mist by the powerful aftershocks.

“You, you all look at the sky.”

A minor leader with a modicum of willpower stared in disbelief as he raised his head, his finger trembling as he pointed to the sky.
