Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

What does face matter when it comes to survival?

Under the impact of the terrifying Conqueror's Haki, the Navy's situation has reached such a terrible point, not to mention Luo Feng, who is closest to Whitebeard and in the center of the battlefield.

The impact he suffered was undoubtedly greater than that of anyone else, and the terrifying power contained in Whitebeard's domineering aura bombarded Luo Feng's body with extremely dense and continuous force!

Clearly, Whitebeard's primary target remains Luo Feng!

Chapter 197 Conqueror's Haki? I'll try it too!

It was also thanks to Luo Feng's amazing physical abilities that he was able to persevere at such close range and under such targeted circumstances...

However, this undoubtedly caused him some damage, because Whitebeard unleashed most of the actual offensive power contained in his Conqueror's Haki onto him.

Otherwise, how could so many Marines survive the impact of Haki? Considering the sheer number of Marines in this area, if Haki were released normally, very few would likely survive. The Marine losses would be terrifying!

Luo Feng withstood most of the Conqueror's Haki attacks, which resulted in some wounds on his body and his internal organs were also in pain, bearing a great burden.

Under this pressure, Luo Feng's eyes gradually turned cold...

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki continued to spread outwards, and Crocodile and his crew were undoubtedly greatly impacted.

Already seriously injured, and being so close to the center, the sudden pressure aggravated his injuries, causing blood to seep from the corner of his mouth as he struggled to resist the force.

Apart from Crocodile, no one else can escape unscathed.

It was clear that the area affected by this force was about to reach the plaza and engulf the rest of the Godfall Pirates!

It is foreseeable that only physically strong fighters like Law, Zoro, and Bartolomeo will be able to withstand it. Robin and the other women will probably have a hard time resisting this intimidating force.

As for the other high-ranking officers, there's no need to say more. There have already been precedents of naval vice admirals being wiped out. If the Conqueror's Haki wave were to hit, the weaker ones among them would probably not have a good ending either.

But at this very moment, Luo Feng, who was in the center, finally began to take action!

"Is it Conqueror's Haki?"

"Let me try it too!"

Luo Feng resisted Whitebeard's oppressive aura and whispered something.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Feng's eyes snapped open, and as a buzzing sound rang out, a golden-blue lightning bolt erupted from his body, gradually filling the surrounding void...

Almost half a beat later than Whitebeard, Luo Feng chose not to directly confront Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki, but instead took the initiative to attack and clash with him!

Of course, it was also to protect his comrades. If Whitebeard continued to act so recklessly, his comrades would also be in danger of losing their lives, which was something he could not tolerate.

Luo Feng also possesses Conqueror's Haki. He awakened this top-tier Haki a year ago in Alabasta when he was planning the Marineford War.

Moreover, his progress is extremely rapid. With continuous high-intensity training, his Conqueror's Haki has reached a high level, and he is constantly striving towards awakening Conqueror's Haki Entanglement!

Although it is still difficult to awaken the latter, after all, the threshold for being entangled in Conqueror's Haki is several levels higher than that for Ryuo.

However, his Conqueror's Haki is at a truly high level, and it is also capable of causing substantial damage.

Normally, Luo Feng rarely uses this ability because few small fry would dare to provoke him, and even if they did, he wouldn't need to bother to deal with them.

But now, faced with Whitebeard unleashing this power, he had no choice but to take action!

A golden-blue lightning bolt suddenly appeared, exploding between the two and tearing a hole in Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki. The hole then gradually widened...

As Luo Feng's Conqueror's Haki appeared and its power rapidly increased, Whitebeard's Haki was gradually resisted. The two unleashed their full power, and their Haki stalemate reached between them!

Putting aside other places, at least the area where the Godfall group was located is now completely safe, so there's nothing to worry about!

Luo Feng's Conqueror's Haki was extremely fast, catching up from behind and spreading ahead of his companion, protecting him and blocking Whitebeard's Haki fluctuations!

On the battlefield, the fluctuations between the two were extremely intense. Although Luo Feng's Conqueror's Haki was much less advanced than Whitebeard's, the opponent's Haki was not as powerful as it was at its peak in his youth.

No matter what, the power will be greatly reduced. It is already quite difficult to use such domineering power. This is only because he 'forcefully restored his physical strength'. If the power can reach 70% or 80% of his peak physical strength, he will be very lucky!

In contrast, Luo Feng, while not quite as powerful as his opponent in terms of Conqueror's Haki, was still at a high level, and his physical attributes were at their peak. Amplified by starlight, his golden-blue Haki could unleash power exceeding 100%!

Inside the arena, the two sides were locked in a stalemate, exchanging blows back and forth!

The clash between red and black and gold and blue creates a stunning visual spectacle. Countless lightning bolts of different colors strike against each other amidst two massive shockwaves, causing the void to crackle and vibrate.

"As expected, kid, cough, you also have this kind of talent!"

The white-bearded man opposite him, with a solemn expression, uttered these words while coughing.

But in the short time it took to say that, Whitebeard seemed to suddenly lose his strength, and the impact of his Conqueror's Haki became unclear. Instantly, Luo Feng's Conqueror's Haki gained the upper hand and rushed in front of him, about to completely destroy his Haki!

However, at the crucial moment, Whitebeard forced himself to stand up and unleashed an even greater wave of Conqueror's Haki, suppressing Luo Feng's Haki once again and blocking it back. The two remained locked in a stalemate, continuing to clash.

"As expected!"

Seeing this, Luo Feng's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Whitebeard's current state.

Just as he had guessed, Whitebeard's stamina had miraculously returned to its peak, making it absolutely impossible for him to fly under normal circumstances.

After all, Whitebeard was already on the verge of death at that time, and even drugs wouldn't help him; he couldn't defy fate any longer.

There is only one explanation, and it is reasonable: a final burst of energy before death!

The unusual fluctuations that appeared on Whitebeard's body just now confirmed this. Moreover, his aura was also very strange at the moment. It was said to be at its peak, but it rose and fell intermittently, and was extremely chaotic.

Indeed, it was Ace's death that enraged Whitebeard, who forcibly overdrawn his remaining life force, giving himself a brief resurgence and regaining terrifying power!

That's right, it was only brief, a brief resurgence before death. That speaks volumes; Whitebeard is beyond saving now.

Having fought until now, he was nearly dead himself, and his beloved son had died before his eyes. In his rage, almost losing his mind, he no longer cared about anything...

Whitebeard, who was originally only weak but not yet dead, was driven to madness and recklessly squeezed out his last bit of life force!

He cut off his own path to survival, just to exchange his remaining life force for his peak combat power, so that he would still have the strength to fight!

Having no intention of continuing to live, he intends to use this extreme method to bring down the culprits who killed Ace!

Chapter 198 Escape? Newgate, you underestimate me!

Of course, his so-called peak was merely the peak of his old age. No matter what methods were used, it was impossible to restore someone like him to the devastating power he possessed in his youth...

To get back to his true peak, that would be like cheating!

Moreover, this brief respite only lasts for a few tens of minutes or even less, and is merely a matter of clinging to life by sheer willpower.

Once that breath is released, the body and spirit will instantly perish, and the person will be finished, meaning they will completely vanish from the world.

Sensing the disorder in Whitebeard's aura, Luo Feng knew that it wouldn't be long before he reached this point.

At this point, if Luo Feng wanted to, there was absolutely no need to fight him. With his abilities, he could easily lead his companions to evade Whitebeard's attacks.

Whitebeard's extreme methods will cost him his own life!

"Hey, can you feel it, kid?!"

"You're quite perceptive. You guessed right. Gulala, it won't be long before I die, and on my last breath I want to take you all with me...!"

"So, want to run away? If you run away, I'll go settle the score with that bastard Sakazuki!" 06

A sinister smile appeared on the white-bearded man's furious face as he looked at Luo Feng, who seemed to understand, and spoke heavily.

At the same time, his Conqueror's Haki was also roaring wildly, imbued with even more energy, and the impact suddenly intensified, gradually suppressing Luo Feng's Haki...

"Escape? Newgate, you underestimate me!"

Luo Feng's eyes narrowed, and the blue lightning with gold edges crackled and banged, causing the void to tremble. Its power also increased as it resisted the Whitebeard's domineering invasion!

"At this point, don't even think about taking anyone else with you. You can't do it. Just focus on the battle at hand, Newgate."

"To end in such a glorious battle is worthy of your status."

"If you keep beating around the bush, your ending may not be a perfect one!"

Luo Feng's voice was deafening, and the Conqueror's Haki emanating from his body intensified, forcefully pressing down on Whitebeard!

"This is the final blow, sending you on your way. Show me what you've got, and I'll see what you're capable of. Don't disappoint me, Newgate!"

With Luo Feng's soft shout, the power of their Conqueror's Haki was amplified to its peak, causing the void to become somewhat unbearable and gradually blur.

Finally, with a loud 'bang,' the two people's Conqueror's Haki bursts disappeared simultaneously!

The immense energy contained within the battlefield was compressed and surged upwards, shooting straight into the sky and disappearing into the horizon...

After a long while, an explosion echoed from high above, out of sight, reverberating throughout the battlefield.

"To possess such talent... this brat cannot be allowed to live!"

Seeing this, the three admirals, Sengoku, Akainu, and the others, all fixed their eyes on Luo Feng, their gazes sharp and intense!

The powerful domineering aura that Luo Feng unleashed completely shocked them. No one expected that this terrifying brat would actually possess the qualities of a king!

And it's clearly not something that just appeared; it's already able to hold its own against Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki. It's terrifying. How the hell did they train like that?

This newly emerged Godfall Pirates, not to mention others, just the captain alone has put unparalleled pressure on the Navy, causing many high-ranking officers to harbor murderous intent and want to nip it in the bud!

"Fufufu... to be able to match that old man's Conqueror's Haki, Luo, your captain is really scary..."

Doflamingo, bearing some injuries and sweating profusely, stared with a stiff smile at Law, who was clearly more seriously injured than him.

The battle between the two has continued until now, and Law has not only not been defeated, but has also inflicted some serious injuries on Doflamingo, making his record quite impressive.

After all, he can't possibly be as good as his opponent right now. The fact that he's been able to hold on until now is enough to show that Luo's progress has been incredibly rapid!

"Ahem, enough nonsense, Doflamingo, you're not qualified to comment on our captain!"

Law coughed up a few drops of blood, but his strength was still not exhausted, and he could continue to fight. He stretched out his demon sword, Oni-Ku, with the tip pointing directly at Doflamingo, ready to fight again!

"What a disgusting brat, he's getting more and more arrogant!"

Doflamingo's forehead veins bulged as he looked at this former underling who was now constantly provoking him, which infuriated him.

But now, he really didn't dare to do whatever he wanted. The figure covered in blue light in the distance intimidated him and made him feel cold.

He knew that if the other party were to attack him, he probably wouldn't survive more than a few rounds...

Aside from here, all the powerful figures on the battlefield focused their attention on Luo Feng. The appearance of his Conqueror's Haki made everyone uneasy.

"Has my old guess come true? It seems the seas are about to become even more lively. Roger, if you were here, you probably wouldn't have imagined that the so-called new era would be so 'exciting'!"

"It seems that it's better to live a few more years so that I can witness the rise and glory of this era firsthand."

Off the field, Rayleigh exclaimed in amazement. His guess had come true; the young man in the field did indeed possess Conqueror's Haki, and at a considerable level!

As for the others, they were all stunned, staring at the large screen in front of them, as if they had become vegetable-like beings. The scene was eerily silent...

Even the Supernovas and veteran pirates are like this, not to mention the media and ordinary people.

On the battlefield, the clash of Conqueror's Haki had long since ended, and the sky had returned to its clear state.
