RPAGF Chapter 29: Battle Against Whitebeard!
Chapter 29: Battle Against Whitebeard!
That powerful Conqueror's Haki, carrying unparalleled pressure, made every inch of air on the deck feel incredibly heavy.
The Moby Dick's hull groaned under the immense pressure of this powerful energy.
Chen Ye could clearly feel the deck beneath his feet trembling slightly!
Is this really the kind of energy that a 70-year-old man suffering from serious illness could generate?
"Dad."
Chen Ye spoke, his voice exceptionally clear in the frozen air.
"If we can't maneuver here, we'll destroy the ship."
He raised his hand and pointed to a dark dot on the distant horizon, outlined by the moonlight.
It was a deserted island.
"Let's go there."
"That's right! Dad!"
Marco immediately echoed.
"We'll stay on the island! Otherwise, all the brothers on the ship will be awakened!"
He didn't want to see half of the Moby Dick sinking into the sea the next morning.
The white-bearded man slammed the "Murakumogiri" he was carrying on his shoulder onto the deck with a thud.
He didn't look at the island; his gaze remained fixed on Chen Ye, and his wild smile widened even further.
"Gurararara! Okay!"
The moment he finished speaking, his massive body sank slightly, then shot into the sky like a cannonball, leaving a visible white trail in the air as he headed straight for the distant deserted island!
The terrifying force of the jump created such a high air pressure that it even caused the sea surface to cave in!
"Keep up, Chenye!"
Marco left behind a word of advice, and his entire body instantly ignited with azure phoenix flames. With a flap of his wings, he transformed into a streak of blue light, following closely behind.
Chen Ye did not answer.
His leg muscles tensed up suddenly, Armament Haki covered them, and he stomped down hard!
boom!
He sped away like an arrow released from a bow, skimming the surface of the sea, leaving a long trail of white spray behind him.
……
A desolate, rocky island.
The three arrived almost simultaneously.
The white-bearded giant's figure landed in the center of the island, and the rocks beneath his feet instantly cracked.
Marco transformed into human form and landed dozens of meters behind him, his expression solemn, ready to deal with any possible accidents at any time.
Chen Ye's figure finally stopped a hundred meters in front of the white-bearded man.
Not a single unnecessary word wasted.
The moment he stood firm, the battle began!
The white-bearded man didn't move an inch; he simply slowly raised his right fist, which was as big as a boulder.
Om-!
A visible white halo, like a spherical glass dome, instantly enveloped his fist.
The surrounding air distorted violently at that moment.
Instead of aiming at Chen Ye, he threw a seemingly ordinary punch at the empty space beside Chen Ye!
Click—!
A crisp sound, as if the world had been torn apart!
It wasn't a sound, but a lament emanating from space itself!
A pure white crack appeared out of thin air and spread rapidly like a spider web!
The instant the white-bearded man raised his hand, Chen Ye's Observation Haki sounded its sharpest alarm!
His muscles reacted instantly, and he transformed into a blur as he dodged to the side at the last second!
Rumble!
The spot where he had been standing, along with the ground within a radius of tens of meters, was completely shattered by the invisible force of the tremor, turning into a huge crater!
This is not the end!
The devastating shockwave followed immediately!
Chen Ye did not simply dodge.
He pushed the faint vibrational power he had just mastered within his body to its limit, covering his right fist as well, and fiercely blasted it towards the edge of the shockwave!
boom!
When the two forces, which originated from the same source but were vastly different in strength, collided, Chen Ye felt an irresistible force coming from his arm. However, by using the force of the recoil, his body was propelled backward at an even faster speed, landing steadily a hundred meters away.
He successfully mitigated over 90% of the damage.
At that very moment, a blue light screen that only he could see appeared before his eyes.
[Analysis progress of "Edward Newgate": 81.33%!]
Become!
A surge of joy welled up in Chen Ye's heart.
This direct confrontation on the brink of life and death is indeed the best way to improve resolution!
"Gurarara... That's interesting!"
Looking at Chen Ye's response, the white-bearded man's eyes, burning with fighting spirit, revealed a genuine hint of approval.
He stopped testing the waters.
He took the "Murakumogiri" from his back, gripped the long handle with both hands, and this time the white vibrating light ball enveloped the entire huge naginata blade!
"Try taking another one of my moves!"
With a loud shout, he swung "Murakumogiri" and slashed it through the air towards Chenye!
Om-!
A massive, crescent-shaped white shockwave detached from the blade, tearing and pulverizing everything in its path with unparalleled force!
This attack sealed off all angles for dodging!
Chen Ye's pupils contracted to their maximum size.
There's no way to retreat!
His feet were firmly planted on the ground, his arms were crossed in front of his chest, and he unleashed the full power of his top-tier Armament Haki, forming a layer of jet-black, incredibly thick armor!
boom!!!!
The crescent-shaped shockwave slammed solidly into his arms.
In that instant, Chen Ye felt as if he had been hit head-on by a mountain range hurtling towards him at high speed.
His feet dug two deep furrows in the ground, his body was thrown backward uncontrollably, and the bones in his arms let out a mournful cry as if they were about to break.
But he stubbornly endured it!
[Analysis progress of "Edward Newgate": 87.50%!]
Chen Ye coughed up a mouthful of blood, but a crazed smile appeared on his face.
"Again, Dad!"
"Guralalalalalala!"
His response was met with an even more unrestrained, maniacal laugh from the white-bearded man, and an even more ferocious attack!
One punch!
One kick!
A knife!
The entire deserted island began to truly disintegrate under the power of the world's strongest man.
The earth cracked, boulders turned to dust, and ocean waves were thrown hundreds of meters into the air!
Chen Ye was like a small boat in the eye of the storm, frantically dodging, blocking, and enduring the aftershocks of the destructive waves.
Each collision, each time he was thrown back, brought him one step closer to death.
But at the same time, the blue data stream in front of him was also beating wildly at an unprecedented speed!
[Analysis progress: 91.10%!]
[Analysis progress: 94.68%!]
[Analysis progress: 97.25%!]
……
Meanwhile, aboard the Moby Dick.
The unprecedentedly violent tremor woke up all the sleeping crew members!
"What's going on!"
"Was there an earthquake?"
"No! It's a tsunami!"
One by one, the hatches were smashed open, and the squad leader and the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates rushed onto the deck, their faces filled with surprise and doubt.
They saw that in the distance, the sea was churning up abnormally large, towering waves, as if an ancient beast was awakening beneath the sea.
"Look! That's the island!"
Diamond Joz, with his sharp eyes, pointed at the source of the vibration and roared.
All eyes turned to them.
Then, they witnessed a scene they would never forget.
That island is falling apart.
And in the heart of that destruction, they saw their father's towering figure.
And... another figure is "fighting" with his father!
"That...that's...Chen Ye?!"
"Am I dreaming? Chen Ye is fighting with my father?"
"How is this possible!"
On the deck, everyone was petrified, their minds blank, unable to comprehend the scene before them.
Just as several impulsive squad leaders were about to rush over to find out what was going on, a pale blue figure descended from the sky and blocked everyone's way.
It's Marco.
"Go back, all of you!"
His voice was sterner than ever before.
"But, Marco! Chenye is in danger!" Laco shouted anxiously.
"This is Dad giving him pointers!"
Marco used the words he had prepared beforehand, his eyes sweeping over everyone present.
"No one is allowed to disturb us! That's Father's order!"
Dad's orders!
These five words calmed down everyone who was in a commotion.
They were full of doubts, but no one dared to disobey Whitebeard's orders.
Filled with shock and confusion, the group returned to the cabin, glancing back repeatedly.
Marco was the only one left on the deck.
He gazed at the island in the distance, which was almost sinking, feeling the aftershocks of the battle that had made his heart pound, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
Guidance?
This is hardly guidance.
This is clearly dismantling the island!
……
On the island.
Chen Ye knelt on one knee, panting heavily, his body covered in blood, the ground beneath his feet now a pile of rubble.
Opposite him, the white-bearded man still stood ramrod straight, his breathing only slightly rapid.
"Kid, can you still stand up?"
Chen Ye raised his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and wore a tired but incredibly bright smile.
In his field of vision, a line of crimson warning text was flashing wildly.
[Warning! Analysis progress has reached 99.80%! About to exceed the critical threshold!]
[Final data collection in progress... Please bear the final blow!]
With his last bit of strength, he braced himself against the ground and shakily stood up.
"Dad..."
"The last resort!"
"Use everything you have right now!"
The white-bearded man looked at him, his golden eyes burning with intense passion.
He grinned and let out a deafening roar.
"Gurararara! As you wish!"
He suddenly raised his right fist, and the white sphere of light enveloping his fist shrank to its limit at that moment, emitting a destructive light that could make the world tremble!
