The tension was palpable, and the atmosphere was so heavy that it seemed to crush the air out of everyone's lungs.
Someone gulped audibly, their eyes glued to the island ahead. The wind whispered, brushing against the crew's clothing, a deceptive calm before the storm.
Suddenly, two figures on the distant island moved at blinding speed, leaving streaks of light in their wake.
"The battle has begun!" someone shouted, their voice a mix of excitement and terror.
The two figures clashed in the blink of an eye, their blades cutting through the air with immense force.
"BOOM!"
The deafening explosion sent shockwaves through the surroundings, instantly dispelling the gentle breeze.
The violent air currents made Marco and the other commanders pale.
"The intensity of this battle is at least twice as strong as what we saw earlier on the Moby Dick!" exclaimed Vista, his voice filled with shock. "This is their true strength!"
In the corner, Marshall D. Teach's eyes burned with a feverish light as he watched the two combatants.
One was Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world. The other was Arashi, the Marine rising legend who captured Roger and Shiki, the Golden Lion.
"The power they wield… it's overwhelming!" Teach muttered, trembling as he stared at Arashi's figure.
Despite being close in age, the gap in strength between them was like heaven and earth.
"One day…" Teach clenched his fists tightly. "I will have power like that, too!" His eyes gleamed with an insatiable ambition.
On the battlefield, the clash of two blades created a black and red lightning storm, twisting and distorting the air.
"Gurarara!" Whitebeard laughed heartily, his voice resonating across the island.
"This is a fight worth savoring! Kid, your strength has earned my respect!" he roared, gripping his naginata, Murakumogiri, and delivering another powerful slash.
Arashi parried swiftly, a grin spreading across his face. "Your strength excites me as well, Whitebeard!"
The intensity of the battle surged further, filling Arashi with a thrill he hadn't felt since his clash with Shiki.
Whitebeard's power wasn't just physical; his unwavering spirit and willpower set him apart.
The two warriors moved with incredible speed, their long blades colliding repeatedly.
Black and red sparks flew, their Conqueror's Haki saturating the battlefield with a weight that pressed down on everyone watching.
"Let's see how far you've reached in this world!" Whitebeard's eyes flashed as he laughed, his enormous form vanishing instantly.
Arashi's pupils contracted as he raised his head, catching sight of Whitebeard appearing above him, his massive body poised to strike.
Both hands gripped Murakumogiri as a spherical aura of energy formed around its blade, shimmering ominously.
"Here it comes, kid!" Whitebeard roared, his voice filled with exhilaration.
"Give it everything you've got! Survive this!"
With a booming laugh, he swung his naginata down with overwhelming force.
Arashi's heart pounded as he gripped his blade tighter. His eyes gleamed with a radiant light as he prepared to counter.
Lightning crackled along his blade, black and red Haki twisting around it. Golden sakura petals danced in the air, their radiant glow amplifying his attack.
"Divine Departure," he murmured, his voice low but resolute.
As he swung his blade, the air seemed to twist and warp, distorting reality.
The two blades met with a clash so powerful that they froze everything around them—and suspended midair, leaves frozen in quivering motion.
For what felt like an eternity, time itself seemed to halt. Then, with an earth-shaking roar, the pause shattered.
"BOOM!"
The shockwave erupted outward, slamming into Arashi's body. He gritted his teeth as the force vibrated through him.
His internal organs trembled violently, the impact leaving him with hidden injuries.
A trickle of blood escaped the corner of his mouth as the ground beneath him cracked and shattered like broken glass.
Whitebeard's power was terrifying. The quake the Gura Gura no Mi created left Arashi stunned—it was beyond words.
Even Whitebeard felt the force of Arashi's strike.
Arashi's "Divine Departure" strength reminded him of battles against Roger. His skin crackled with electricity, leaving scorched marks on his flesh.
"This kid… he's strong!" Whitebeard admitted to himself. Such power, such mastery of swordsmanship and Haki, had only been matched by legends like Roger and Garp.
With a roar, Whitebeard leaped into the air, his body propelled by the tremor force of his Devil Fruit. His speed was astonishing as he surged toward Arashi in the sky.
"Hmm?" Whitebeard's eyes narrowed as a blinding light suddenly appeared above him.
Heat radiated down with such intensity that the moisture in the air evaporated instantly.
From above, Arashi's voice rang out, cold and commanding.
"2 Billion Volts: Heaven's Wrath!"
A massive lightning pillar surged from the heavens, splitting the air as it descended toward Whitebeard.
"Rumble-rumble fruit, is it?" Whitebeard chuckled, unshaken. "What an incredible ability!"
With a flick of his naginata, he unleashed a quake that collided with the lightning. The impact sent ripples through the air as the lightning split apart with a resounding crack.
At that moment, as the light faded, Crocodile's eyes widened in shock.
"He shattered the lightning…"
Whitebeard laughed heartily, his naginata glowing with the power of his quake. With a single leap, he appeared before Arashi, ready to continue their battle.
"Is that all you've got, kid?" Whitebeard's booming laughter echoed as his naginata slashed down with overwhelming force.
Arashi grinned widely, his laughter following.
"This is just the beginning!"
The two collided again in midair, the violent shockwaves radiating outward and rippling across the ocean for miles.
"You excite me, Whitebeard!" Arashi exclaimed with a low sigh, his voice tinged with genuine admiration.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed with boundless electricity. His long hair danced wildly in the lightning storm, purple cloud-like patterns wrapping around him.
Behind him, five enormous thunder drums formed, glowing with vibrant energy as purple lightning arced between them.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The deep, resounding drumbeats reverberated through the heavens, making the hearts of those watching tremble.
"What is that?" Marco and the other commanders were struck with foreboding as they stared at the sky.
Above them, a dense storm of lightning engulfed an area stretching tens of thousands of meters.
"Raijin…" they muttered in shock, recalling the Marine's name for the man before them.
"RUMBLE!"
The deafening roar of thunder shook the air, rattling the nerves of everyone who heard it.
"Then let's fight at full strength!" Arashi declared. His body erupted with countless streaks of lightning, transforming into a blinding bolt streaked across the sky toward Whitebeard.
Simultaneously, the endless bolts of lightning above descended, intertwining into countless golden, purple, and blue arcs that streaked through the heavens like dazzling fireworks.
"Oh?" Whitebeard narrowed his eyes as he chuckled. He clenched his left fist and swung it forward with immense force into the torrent of lightning.
"CRACK!"
The sky seemed to shatter as the countless lightning bolts were obliterated, dispersing instantly.
At that moment, Arashi's blade descended, aiming straight for Whitebeard.
With another hearty laugh, Whitebeard swung Murakumogiri to meet the attack.
"BOOM!"
The impact created a shockwave that tore through the sky, splitting the land behind Arashi for miles. Exhaling slowly, Arashi's eyes gleamed with exhilaration.
His right hand flicked upward, and his body surged with lightning as he vanished in a flash, reappearing from another angle to strike.
Whitebeard reacted instantly, countering each attack with his naginata or bare fists.
Despite Arashi's increasing speed, his movements almost indistinguishable from pure lightning, Whitebeard could intercept every blow.
His combat prowess and reaction speed were nothing short of godlike.
This wasn't the Whitebeard of the Summit War, who could only endure attacks passively.
This was the strongest man in the world, his body in peak condition, exhibiting unparalleled power and resilience.
Their battle moved across the skies, the island, and even the sea.
The heavens cracked, the island bore deep scars, its surface charred black, and the waves of the sea churned violently.
Arashi unleashed a barrage of techniques—Spear of Longinus, Thunder Giant, and even his second ultimate attack, 10 Billion Volts: Raijin—yet Whitebeard withstood them all.
His body bore scorch marks and injuries, but none were enough to bring him down.
Arashi was stunned by Whitebeard's sheer durability.
The man's physical strength was monstrous, surpassing even his own, and his immense vitality allowed him to endure the mightiest lightning strikes without flinching.
His fighting spirit and unyielding will were equally awe-inspiring. At the same time, Whitebeard was equally astounded.
"This kid can withstand the power of my quake-quake fruit head-on!"
"Such relentless attacks, and yet he's still brimming with energy…"
"He's a monster!"
Both fighters gave it their all, attacking the battlefield with cataclysmic force. Each blow was a calamity, the very definition of destruction.
Their endurance and resistance to each other's assaults were extraordinary.
As the battle wore on, the sun began to set. Lightning roared across the island, the cracks and destruction spreading further.
"They're monsters…" Marco muttered in disbelief, his eyes fixed on the two figures exchanging blows.
"Arashi is terrifying—he's managed to push Dad this far!"
"Before this, only Roger could stand toe-to-toe with him like this!"
The commanders, their pupils trembling, stared at the two warriors. Blades clashed, fists struck, and the sheer intensity of their battle seemed destined to rage on.
"Conqueror's Haki, physical strength, swordsmanship, willpower… all at the highest level," Arashi thought, his excitement growing with each exchange.
"This is Whitebeard…"
Even as the battle peaked, Devil Fruit's abilities seemed to lose their effectiveness against Whitebeard. His mastery of combat was absolute, his willpower unshakable.
Arashi's eyes shone brilliantly, his grin widening as the fight pushed him to his limits.
Against the immovable force of Whitebeard's durability and power, and with Arashi's seemingly endless stamina, the battle felt like an unstoppable clash of titans.
It was a showdown of equals, a battle destined to shake the world.
