Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

In this way, even with the meteorite weakened by more than half, Whitebeard was able to withstand it on his own!

After all, the two most terrifying aspects of a meteorite impact have been largely eliminated, leaving it as just an ordinary boulder. With Whitebeard's abilities, withstanding it wouldn't be a difficult task at all.

However, Whitebeard's plan was immediately seen through by Luo Feng 08, who also had considerable combat experience!

The two sides are mortal enemies, so how could Luo Feng hold back in such a situation?

As soon as he finished speaking, the meteorite, which had already been cracked by the air tremor, seemed to be given a buff, and its impact force exploded again, slamming down hard on the white-bearded man below!

Gravity suppression!

Luo Feng added immense gravity to the now weakened meteorite, relentlessly suppressing the white-bearded figure below!

Plop...

Suddenly, Whitebeard felt the pressure increase dramatically. The meteorite he had lifted above him was incredibly powerful, pressing his legs deep into the ground!

"Stop struggling, give up your place. To me, there is no distinction between the old and the new era, but today, you must step aside, Newgate!"

Luo Feng shouted, and the blue light around him intensified. He floated above the meteorite, a glimmer of blue light appearing before striking the meteorite...

This time, Luo Feng used not only gravity but also repulsive force. Standing in the opposite direction of Whitebeard, he applied the repulsive force to the meteorite. The two forces emerged together and pressed down hard!

"Cough...cough cough, brat, how arrogant!"

Overwhelmed by the sudden, powerful suppression, Whitebeard's internal organs were damaged, and he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood. His face turned extremely gloomy, clearly indicating that he was now completely serious.

The next moment, Whitebeard withdrew his right hand, held the meteorite with his left sword, clenched his right fist, and a ball of light appeared, which he then slammed into the air once more!

Rumble...

A layer of flowing, colorful energy appeared on Whitebeard's fist, which was covered in Armament Haki, and he slammed it heavily into the void.

But this time, the void did not shatter. The force of the shockwave traveled through the colorful stream of light and was directly blasted into the huge meteorite!

Flowing Sakura is so powerful!

Whitebeard suddenly used advanced Armament Haki, Ryuo, and instead of attacking the outside of the meteorite, he used the colorful light to directly inject the vibrational force into the center of the meteorite!

Click...!

The next moment, the huge meteorite trembled, unable to withstand the dual power from Luo Feng, and was completely destroyed by the shockwave from Whitebeard.

The massive meteorite, not far from the ground, began to crack. The intense impact was gone, and it was lifted up by Murakumo Kirito, breaking into huge pieces of rock before falling to the ground!

"My God, Whitebeard actually withstood a meteorite!"

"What power this is! It's terrifying!"

"Is this really an elderly Yonko? He still possesses such power. If he were to use it against our headquarters, how would we possibly resist?!"

Everyone around was shocked to see the white-bearded man smash the falling meteorite, and a bad feeling rose in their hearts.

Of course, this only applies to the navy.

As for the Whitebeard Pirates, they cheered and applauded, which eased the somewhat tense atmosphere.

During their retreat, they were met with numerous obstacles from the Navy, with Admiral Akainu personally leading the attack. Marco launched a frantic counterattack, but they were still forced to retreat in defeat!

Especially after Akainu made some insulting remarks about Whitebeard, the protagonist, Ace, who was being surrounded and fleeing, couldn't take it anymore, decisively turned back, and started fighting with Akainu...

But just thinking about it, it's obvious that Ace in his current state is no match for Akainu, even though Akainu is injured and still can't do anything about it.

After a few exchanges, Ace was bombarded and forced to retreat repeatedly. Akainu, quick-witted as ever, knew what Ace cared about most and kept insulting Whitebeard, making him unwilling to flee!

"Ace, run!"

"Don't let Dad's efforts go to waste!"

Seeing Ace stubbornly fighting Akainu not far away, the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates shouted wildly.

Seeing that Whitebeard had taken such a terrible meteor attack, if they didn't leave now, when would they?

However... Ace, already enraged, listened to the insults coming from Akainu's mouth. 050 lost all reason and ignored the calls from his comrades behind him. He immediately turned into a ball of flame and rushed towards the enemy!

Meanwhile, on the battlefield between Luo Feng and Whitebeard.

Luo Feng's eyes burned with fervor. Seeing his attack thwarted, he felt no discouragement or anger, but rather excitement, as if a fire of battle was igniting within him...

"This is the strength of the world's strongest man, it really excites me!"

"Huff, huff... gurgle, you wretched brat, you're really hard to deal with!"

Hearing Luo Feng's mutterings, the white-bearded man's expression turned somewhat unnatural. He was breathing heavily and staring intently at the other man.

After all, the attacks from Luo Feng and Crocodile were too frequent, putting Whitebeard under constant threat and forcing him to launch several more attacks before he could barely break free...

His body was already old and frail, unable to exert his full strength. Now, after taking so many rapid attacks and forcibly using Ryuo Haki, his stamina was almost completely depleted, leaving him extremely exhausted.

Using Haki is extremely taxing on physical strength, let alone a high-level Haki like Ryuo. Now, forced to use it out of necessity, Luo Feng has already tested it to its limit...

This means that if Luo Feng has any hidden tricks up his sleeve, then Whitebeard might not be able to withstand all of them!

Chapter 187 The final push: using the white beard to stimulate the awakening of Ryuo!

Of course, that's for sure...

Luo Feng not only possesses several trump cards, but also has ample resources to prepare for the upcoming battle against Whitebeard.

Even so, Luo Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that the true strength of the Four Emperors was indeed terrifying!

They are absolutely not comparable to the Golden Lion, who has fallen from grace and is nearly crippled. The difference between them is too great, as can be seen from their attitude and approach in dealing with the meteorite attack.

Golden Lion only uses its ultimate move to continuously build barriers to block the falling meteors, which can be described as quite passive.

But Whitebeard was fighting the meteor head-on!

The expected scenario of sinking most of the Marine Headquarters did not occur; the meteorite blasted Whitebeard to pieces in mid-air!

While there are indeed reasons why it was unavoidable, it should be noted that Luo Feng had already sent down the meteorite at the beginning, and most of his subsequent attacks were to hold back Whitebeard and prevent him from escaping the meteorite-covered area.

But regardless, Whitebeard did indeed achieve his goal, demonstrating to the world the true power of one of the Four Emperors!

Moreover, this was under the condition that he was already injured, old and frail, and his strength had greatly declined. If he were at his peak, just thinking about it would send chills down one's spine...

"Cough cough, that old geezer really doesn't hold back."

Just then, several coughs rang out. Crocodile, clutching his chest and with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, walked somewhat disheveled to the side of Luo Feng, who had already landed on the ground.

In this battle, the only one who didn't get injured was Luo Feng. Apart from Whitebeard, Crocodile was obviously also seriously injured.

Whitebeard's earthquake was truly devastating; even Crocodile's Erosion Cycle couldn't completely negate its power.

Moreover, the earthquake struck from a direction directly towards Crocodile, as if it had completely locked him in, leaving him no way to dodge and forcing him to take the hit head-on...

In the end, Crocodile's frenzied attack largely neutralized the aftershocks of the earthquake, but the remaining impact still inevitably struck him, causing him to vomit blood several times and suffer considerable injuries.

This was to be expected, after all, they were facing a royal-level combat force!

Although Crocodile has recovered and his strength has increased to the level of a Yonko's first mate, how can a first mate be compared to a Yonko?

Being able to withstand several attacks from a royal-level opponent is already incredibly impressive!

Even a top-tier Yonko commander like Marco could only hold his own against a Yonko-level fighter for a few moves and couldn't fight for long, let alone Crocodile.

"If it doesn't work, you should go and recover from your injuries first. Crocodile, I can handle him on my own."

Looking at Crocodile beside him, Luo Feng remained calm and spoke indifferently.

He was confident he could fight Whitebeard in this state alone!

"Guhaha, I'm so sorry, Captain, I can't obey this order. I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

"Don't worry, Captain, I know what I'm doing. I don't want to die here."

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng nodded and stopped trying to persuade him. He then simply said, "This is not an order, just a suggestion. Whether to fight or not is your decision."

"Kid, I admit your strength, but can you fight me alone? Even that old man from the Warring States period might not dare to say that!"

Whitebeard wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Despite his injury, his imposing manner remained undiminished. His eyes were fixed on Luo Feng with ill intent.

“灵气是吗？那群说2酒小4我5三们继二续5群零！苍2”

Luo Feng was incredibly efficient and decisive; without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed several beams of blue light as soon as he finished speaking, sending them soaring into the sky. Then, with a flash, he vanished, leaving only a trail of light in his wake...

He charged at the white beard again, this time even faster, the star-blue light becoming a blurry line, dazzling to the eye!

"Summoned another meteor? Cough cough, come on!"

Seeing Luo Feng's actions, Whitebeard knew what it meant; another meteorite would probably fall in the next moment!

The power of the meteorite truly left him feeling exhausted. He was no longer at his peak, and often felt powerless despite his good intentions...

But there was nothing he could do; faced with this young pirate who was determined to bring him down, he had no choice but to take it head-on!

In an instant, Luo Feng's figure appeared in front of Whitebeard... no, to be precise, his legs appeared above Whitebeard's head!

"Godfall - Stomp!"

With a soft shout, Luo Feng's right foot, already covered in Armament Haki and containing the explosive power of a meteorite, stomped down hard on Whitebeard's face!

Stomping on someone's head is a rather insulting way to attack, especially for a big shot like Whitebeard. Who would dare to do that to him?

Even when fighting against the Four Emperors of the same level, neither side would go to such lengths, as they would always leave some room for maneuver and maintain some dignity.

But today, a young pirate named Luo Feng did just that!

He didn't mean to insult Whitebeard; he was just being completely uninhibited. When it comes to fighting, why bother with so many rules? You should do whatever feels comfortable and effective, and do whatever you want.

Moreover, this is how this move is supposed to be done, so what can you do about it?

Clearly, Whitebeard couldn't understand and simply thought the other party was insulting him. He immediately glared angrily, let out a heavy snort, and raised his fist to punch!

At this moment, in addition to the power of vibration, Whitebeard's arm was also covered with Armament Haki.

Of course, he had already subdued the Ryuo, as it was too physically demanding. In his current state, he couldn't keep the Ryuo possessing him for long. Otherwise, he might be exhausted in no time and would lose without anyone else even needing to fight him!

However, he could still barely maintain this most basic Armament Haki.

'boom! '

The two attacks clashed again, Armament Haki against Armament Haki, meteor impact against shockwave power. Neither was at a disadvantage, and the two were locked in a stalemate.

Moments later, the two unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks, engaging in a full-blown battle!

This was a clash of physical skills, which suited Luo Feng's taste perfectly. After seeing Whitebeard's Ryuo Haki, he couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to fully awaken Ryuo in this battle, instead of the kind that only appeared occasionally before!

"It's not far now. I can already feel the source of my Armament Haki changing."
