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

However, this kid has already reached a whole new level in the development of the fruit.

boom!

As expected, Luffy rushed towards Whitebeard first, much faster than Whitebeard, and the elasticity of the rubber ground made his movement unpredictable.

As if witnessing this scene, Whitebeard's attack erupted instantly and crashed down.

Boom!

It hit the target perfectly.

Both were top-tier experts who had mastered the Conqueror's Haki technique, but one wielded a fist while the other brandished a sword.

Luffy's fist and Whitebeard's Murakumogiri formed a black and red ball of light at the point of contact, which then continued to expand. Black and red lightning spilled out around them, unleashing an even more powerful impact, and the ground centered on the two of them quickly cracked open.

Visibly, the shattered stones hadn't even had a chance to fly before being crushed into dust by the overwhelming force.

Both sides took half a step back.

In the instant they separated, Luffy assumed an attack stance, his left hand forming a palm and standing upright in front of him, while his right hand also formed a palm and was placed beside his ear.

What are they trying to do?

Whitebeard raised an eyebrow. Was he about to launch something?

"A super-high-speed shockwave grenade!"

An almost invisible shockwave was released from the hand; this was an advanced version of the second-level rubber bullet.

The stun grenades traced distorted trajectories in the air, moving so fast that their afterimages were invisible; only the continuous sonic booms in the air proved their existence.

It actually shot out!

Whitebeard's eyes widened, and he quickly started running. The shock grenades landed behind him, shattering patches of the ground and causing the entire area to shake.

He unleashed his full Observation Haki, twisting his body at incredible angles, narrowly avoiding each unseen attack.

Soon the attacks became more frequent, some even hitting Whitebeard's path. He brandished the Murakumogiri and shouted, the sword in his hand spinning rapidly. Then he transformed into a spinning top and slashed at Luffy.

"Whirlwind Vajra Slash!"

Bang!

The air itself felt ripped apart, and Luffy didn't want to reach out and experience the force of the impact. With a wave of his hand, seven vibration balls shot straight at the target.

The vibrating spheres rotated continuously in the air, resonating with each other to form a vibrating barrier.

clap clap.

The vibrating ball shattered into sparks upon impact and was bounced far away. The spinning top, instead of being stopped, seemed to be getting faster and faster, and the shrieking sound of the blade cutting through the air became increasingly piercing.

A red light flashed in Luffy's eyes, and he activated his Observation Haki to its fullest extent. He drew his black sword and slashed at the opportune moment.

A spinning top, right?

He loves spinning tops the most!

The Four Emperors' spinning tops are also worth trying to pull for!

pat!

A shockwave rippled outwards, and Luffy caught it. The muscles of both men visibly tensed, and the ground beneath their feet could not withstand the impact, forming a huge dent.

A dazzling light erupted at the point of impact between the black sword and the Murakumogiri.

"Rubber vibrates through the air!"

Luffy's head suddenly stretched and contracted freely, and then a patch of jet-black Armament Haki spread across his forehead as he charged towards Whitebeard.

This move was completely unexpected; the head moved faster than his fists and feet, reaching Whitebeard almost instantly.

"Hey kid, that's so despicable!"

Whitebeard couldn't help but curse loudly.

He'd lived all these years and this wasn't the first time he'd seen someone use their head as a weapon; that old man Garp really liked doing that.

But this retractable head is simply impossible to defend against.

Even Garp couldn't do that!

The properties of rubber, combined with the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, make the two Devil Fruits work together—whoever attacks them is truly blessed.

Luffy's jet-black head was not only covered in Armament Haki, but also wrapped in the white halo of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. If this hit him hard, even Whitebeard would be stunned for a while.

"Uncle, times have changed."

This is the era of dual Devil Fruit users.

Luffy grinned and gave it a hard knock.

Whitebeard originally wanted to be like Luffy, with Armament Haki spreading across his forehead, and to clash with him.

Then, with a snap, they heard the sound of air cracking, a sign that the force of vibration had erupted at extremely close range.

Whitebeard's body was blasted away.

I almost forgot about the Tremor-Tremor Fruit on this guy!

This feeling of being challenged by his own abilities made Whitebeard inexplicably unhappy.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit used to be his standard equipment!

The white-bearded figure tumbled several times in mid-air before finally managing to stop, leaving a smoke ring behind.

Moonwalk.

The so-called Six Styles of the Navy are all applicable to experts; as long as you understand the basic principles, you can use them.

He rubbed his head; the vibration really made him feel dizzy. After adjusting his posture slightly, he used the force of the fall to strike down.

"Earthquake!"

This strike, imbued with the momentum of a downward fall, had a crimson, domineering aura wrapped around its blade, as if it were about to cleave the entire earth in two.

The ground beneath Luffy's feet caved in like rubber, and he sank several meters in an instant. Then, he swung his black sword again and charged forward to take the hit head-on.

Their powerful auras clashed repeatedly, unleashing a devastating impact. In the end, Whitebeard was the first to be deflected and fell to the ground.

But just as Luffy was about to give chase, Whitebeard on the ground leaped up and attacked Luffy, who was still in mid-air.

Murakumo-giri swept across at a sharp angle.

"Breaking through the air!"

boom!

The sword swept across Luffy's head, instantly clearing away the dark clouds. A shockwave from the slash swept across the sky, even splitting the distant clouds in two.

Thanks to his quick head-shrinking, Luffy's body plummeted downwards, then forward, backward, left, and right, with rubber surfaces on the ground serving as springboards for him to bounce around.

His speed kept increasing, and then he became a blur. The elasticity of the rubber ground allowed him to change direction at any time, and the entire battlefield became his elastic field.

"Oh? That's an interesting move."

Whitebeard's eyes flashed red, and he activated his Observation Haki at full power, rapidly scanning his eyes in an attempt to track Luffy's movements.

But those afterimages were too dense, and even he could only barely sense their general location.

"I've seen a guy with the Spring-Spring Fruit do it like this before."

Luffy's voice came from all directions.

"Hmph, how can that kind of fruit compare to you?"

Whitebeard roared in agreement, suddenly swinging his sword, "But it's still not fast enough!"

Whoosh!

Cut empty.

Bang!

The sound of an impact clearly came from the demonized side of Whitebeard's body. A huge, muffled thud was heard as Luffy's fist slammed solidly into his ribs, the shockwave penetrating his body through the fist.

Whitebeard reacted quickly, flipping his sword hilt the instant he missed, and using his fighting instincts, he swept backward, striking Luffy's body and sending him flying.

"cough!"

Whitebeard coughed a few times and spat out a mouthful of blood.

His blood was mixed with fragments of internal organs; the shockwave from that punch had ravaged his body, causing considerable damage.

Luffy, who had been slashed away, seemed to be unharmed. He spun around and stabilized himself, the vibration balls behind him returned, and then he looked at Whitebeard.

He had a shallow knife wound on his chest, but it was healing at a visible speed.

The recovery ability of the Zoan type is still too overpowered.

"Kurarara, I overlooked you. I didn't expect your Observation Haki to be superior to mine."

Whitebeard laughed, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Well done, you're getting better and better at it."

The thrill of this battle reminded him of the days when he fought Roger. Ever since that guy died, the sea had become increasingly boring, but if you live long enough, you'll eventually see... this era before you!

"Hey, sir, if you keep hitting him, you'll lose control."

Luffy narrowed his eyes. "Shall we continue?"

Despite how intense it was just now, it was really only a warm-up for them.

Whitebeard snorted and glared, "This is nothing! I'll take your surrender as an admission of defeat. This is a pirate war, the winner takes all. If you admit defeat, hand over all the treasure on the ship."

"what?!"

Before Luffy could respond, the clouds over there suddenly changed color, turning into terrifying, pitch-black thunderclouds. "Who wants to admit defeat, Luffy? Hurry up and beat this white-bearded uncle away!"

The thunderclouds in front of Nami crackled and popped, with lightning flashing through them and creating a terrifying roar.

Whitey Bay, the captain of an alliance pirate crew under the Whitebeard Pirates who was fighting her, was a powerful figure known as the Ice Witch. He was watching with shock as his opponent suddenly unleashed her fighting spirit.

Whitey Bay is a veteran of the Whitebeard Pirates, even more so than Marco.

Having roamed the New World for decades and encountered countless powerful figures, Nami now gives her the feeling of meeting Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors.

Originally, the fight with this orange-haired beauty was uneventful, with neither side fighting to the death. It was a pirate war between acquaintances, so while it's important to be serious, taking it too seriously will only lead to defeat.

Pirates who can survive in the New World all respect each other. Not to mention the relationship between Straw Hat and Ace, Luffy has done a great service to the entire Whitebeard Pirates. After the battle, they will most likely sit down together happily and have a drink.
