The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

"How can it be?!!"

On the execution platform, the Warring States' expression suddenly changed.

He stared intently at the white-bearded man's current appearance.

It wasn't just his dazzling blonde hair; even his overall aura and presence were steadily rising.

Finally~~~

"Gurarararar~!!"

A hearty laugh, full of energy and spirit, echoed throughout the entire venue.

"What on earth is that..."

The navy was completely stunned.

At this moment, Whitebeard was all too familiar to them.

After all, they had just witnessed Whitebeard at his peak in that scene.

And now~

The white-bearded figure on the Moby Dick is exactly the same as the Whitebeard in his prime from the previous footage!!!

This, this... how is this possible?!

Why is it like this?!

They hadn't forgotten that the white-bearded figure in the picture could cause the waves to tremble and the sea to churn with a single strike.

A casual strike can easily shatter the atmosphere!

This terrifying, almost invincible power...

Now, has the scene moved from the screen into reality, forcing them to confront reality as well?!

The thought of this possibility caused some sailors' hands and bodies to tremble involuntarily.

A look of terror gradually crept onto their entire faces!

"Ah la la."

On the ice, Aokiji's expression completely turned expressionless.

"The monster has awakened!"

On the high platform.

"Golden hair..."

Kizaru's narrowed eyes widened slightly as he intently observed Whitebeard's current state.

"It seems he has regained his youthful appearance..."

Akainu slowly stepped forward, "Your aura has become even stronger, Whitebeard."

He stood at the edge of the platform, gazing down at the white-bearded figure, his eyes still calm and fearless.

No matter what Whitebeard becomes, nothing can shake Akainu's, Sakazuki's, unwavering determination to keep Whitebeard here today!!

Besides Whitebeard, there are also...

"As expected, the Straw Hat Pirates can no longer tolerate existing on this sea."

His gaze shifted slightly, landing on Link standing beside Whitebeard, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.

Besides Luffy, his vice-captain, the "tool maker," is also on Sakazuki's kill list.

He's not blind or stupid, so of course he can see who is responsible for Whitebeard's current changes.

"Is it because of that gourd of peculiar water or wine?!"

Kizaru stroked his chin, looking down at his white beard and the gourd of sake in his hand.

After thinking for a moment, his figure suddenly transformed into a cloud of light particles!

It shot into the sky and in the blink of an eye, it arrived above the bay!

"Then let this old man see if you've truly recovered your original monstrous strength, Whitebeard!!"

Swish! !

As Kizaru appeared, his hands were already clenched, gleaming with a dazzling gold.

"Eight-foot beautiful magatama!!"

In an instant, beams of laser light, like a rain of flowers, rained down on Whitebeard.

"Gurglalalala, is this a shower of light?!"

Amidst hearty laughter, a fist enveloped in a powerful, shimmering white aura was gently swung towards the sky-filling curtain of light ahead!

Click~! !

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and a crack that almost covered the entire sky had appeared before Whitebeard!

boom! !

The rain of light that was about to fall was either instantly shattered in mid-air or immediately detonated in mid-air!

With just a casual strike, he easily neutralized Kizaru's massive area-of-effect attack!

At the same time, a terrifying aura rose up within the battlefield!

"How terrifying, Whitebeard!"

Kizaru's eyes widened slightly; he had finally confirmed what Whitebeard looked like now!

"Dad!!"

The burning, immortal blue flames were released, leaving a graceful trail in the sky.

"Phoenix Seal!!"

Marco, having reached the front, showed no intention of holding back, turning around and unleashing a powerful Phoenix Kick towards Kizaru.

The latter took advantage of the situation to try and leave, and the two of them fought and retreated as they left this area of ​​the sky.

Before leaving, Marco turned back to take another look at Whitebeard.

The excitement in his eyes was impossible to hide.

Their father, Whitebeard, has truly returned to his peak condition!

"It's possible to reverse time and restore the past?!"

Even after decades of navigating this vast ocean, I've witnessed countless autumn moons, spring breezes, and all sorts of strange and wondrous things on the sea.

However, even now, after experiencing such a miraculous effect that could be described as defying fate, he still finds it somewhat unbelievable.

"Time, and strength, they've all returned..."

Whitebeard couldn't help but flex his arm muscles, feeling an unprecedented level of physical fitness!

Their bodies, which were originally ravaged by injuries and illnesses and could be described as old and decaying, have now been rejuvenated.

Although the ailments and hidden injuries still exist—after all, it's just a matter of recovering from age, not a cure—his body's ability to withstand such strain will undoubtedly increase significantly!

"Now, we're much more confident about rescuing Ace..."

Whitebeard clenched his fist tightly. The powerful force that once belonged to him now felt both strange and strangely familiar.

You don't realize it when you have it, but when you gradually lose it and then regain it, the feeling of comparison is so obvious.

"Thanks a lot, kid!!"

Whitebeard felt that even his mindset had become younger.

He flicked the blond hair from the back of his head and couldn't help but burst into laughter, "I never thought that in the final days of my pirate career, I'd have a moment to return to my peak!!!"

"Your future as a pirate is far from over, Uncle Whitebeard~"

Link chuckled and looked again toward the distant platform.

At this time~~~

"Meteor Volcano!!!"

Seeing this, Akainu finally couldn't hold back any longer.

His expression was solemn. He raised his arms, which had transformed into rolling magma, and unleashed a barrage of magma fists like a meteor shower towards the sky above where the white-bearded man stood, forming exploding volcanic bombs!

Whoosh whoosh! !

Those volcanic bombs engulfed Whitebeard and the Moby Dick he was aboard, raining down like an apocalyptic eruption!

"Setting off fireworks again, you lava brat~"

Feeling better than ever before, Whitebeard, eager to try this power again, flexed the muscles in his arms.

He wanted to raise the naginata, the supreme grade sword, in his hand.

·· ·····Requesting flowers· ······

However~~~

"Leave these fireworks to me, old man with the white beard."

Link, who was standing to the side, smiled and took a step forward.

Then, he slowly raised his arm.

"Spotlight Thunderstorm!!"

With a soft whisper, golden lightning, even more dazzling and blinding than Kizaru's, covered the entire sky.

Rumble! ...

A dark cloud vortex suddenly appeared in the sky, connecting with Link below, and dazzling golden lightning erupted in that instant!

A colossal lightning storm, comparable to a natural disaster, rose up within the arena, sweeping and raging across the land!

"Ahhhhh!!"

Amidst the shouts of the navy and pirates, and with an incredibly powerful attraction and a booming, muffled sound, this area of ​​lightning and storm instantly formed.

At the same time, the volcanic bombs that were falling were immediately caught up in the lightning storm and instantly drawn into the storm.

Then, the next second...

"Thunderbolt Laser!!"

Link gently clenched his fist.

The almost devastating lightning storm paused abruptly.

....... ....... 0

It was incredibly strange that it just stood there, frozen in mid-air.

Then~

boom! ! !

The entire thunderstorm instantly exploded, and the lightning within the storm transformed into streaks of laser-like lightning that shot down towards the harbor and plaza ahead!

"Froststorm!!"

Aokiji, who was on guard on the ice, did not let his guard down at all. He raised his hand and created ice walls to resist the laser beams and lightning that filled the sky.

And he didn't forget to unleash that manipulative ultimate move, "Ice Block - Frost Peak Burst!!"

The exquisitely beautiful ice jade, resembling an incredibly hard peak-burst type, became a solid shield against the thunderstorm under Aokiji's craftsmanship!

"Not bad lightning, kid!"

Seeing that Link had easily dismantled Akainu's Meteor Volcano and even retaliated, a glint flashed in Whitebeard's eyes as he smiled approvingly.

"So-so~"

Link waved his hand and said modestly with a smile.

Those two moves were area-of-effect (AOE) attacks, inspired by the special moves of Rhinoceros Beetlemon from Digimon.

Similarly, Link's other lightning-type moves are all the same~~~

"The Navy has Logia-type Devil Fruit users and powerful techniques, and so do we."
