Chapter 162: Talk Breaks Down
"I don't know what you are talking about. And I should go take care of the children now. I'll take my leave."
Amatsuki Toki turned around and left directly after speaking, clearly not intending to continue the conversation. As she turned, cold sweat broke out on Amatsuki Toki's Forehead. It could be said that she carried a mission from the era she traveled from to this time, which was to wait in Wano Country for the arrival of the next Joy Boy, and to inform the newcomer of Joy Boy's mistake in the past to avoid repeating the same mistake.
But why would that guy know about this kind of Thing? Thinking of this, Amatsuki Toki became even more irritated.
As Amatsuki Toki left, Kozuki Oden and even Whitebeard focused their Attention on Nicholas, as if any unusual Movement from him would be met with a violent Attack.
After Amatsuki Toki left, Kozuki Oden and Whitebeard also said a few words and then turned to leave.
Watching the two leave, Rayleigh and Jabba also consciously left, and for a time, only Roger, Nicholas, and Newgate remained in the arena.
"Wahahaha, Nicholas, what did you mean just now? Does that Woman really know about the Problems you mentioned?"
After Rayleigh and Jabba left, Roger immediately asked impatiently, obviously Nicholas's Words had made him quite interested.
Originally, he had only come for Kozuki Oden, but he didn't expect to discover something extraordinary now.
Following Roger's Words, Newgate also looked towards Nicholas, waiting for Nicholas's explanation. After all, since teaming up with Nicholas at God Valley, in Newgate's eyes, Nicholas seemed to know many secret Things.
"Would you believe me if I said I was a prophet, guiding this World towards Dawn?"
Nicholas said jokingly, then saw Whitebeard and Roger nod seriously, seemingly agreeing with this statement.
"..."
Are the Strongest in the Pirate World this naive?
"Forget it, just kidding. It's just that I discovered a little clue in History."
Nicholas said.
"Hey, hey, don't talk halfway, you guy."
Roger looked at Nicholas, who didn't intend to continue, and quickly said.
"Ahem, have you noticed that you will encounter People whose Names contain the hidden surname D?"
"Indeed, sometimes we do encounter People with D in their Names. I also have one called Teach. By the way, what does D actually mean?"
"Do you want to know?"
"Forget it, not much Interest."
"You guy." Seeing Whitebeard not taking the bait, Nicholas was a little speechless.
It could be said that if he wanted to get valuable Intelligence from Amatsuki Toki, then Whitebeard was an unavoidable obstacle.
"Then Roger, you should know, right? After all, there will be a Will in the dark that will make D have an intersection."
As he spoke, Nicholas looked at Roger.
Hearing Nicholas's Words, Roger's expression also changed, because he thought of the Woman waiting for him on Patrila Island, and it seemed that their meeting was a fateful encounter.
"That was a long time ago..."
Roger said to himself, while Whitebeard drank Wine, frowning from time to time, occasionally looking surprised, his whole Complexion changing.
Nicholas was surprised to find that in Roger's Words, People with the Name of D seemed to have outstanding Talent.
"Gurarararara, that's really amazing News, but, Lightning Kid! No matter what you are for, Pops will not let others attack Pops's Family!"
Suddenly glaring, Whitebeard shouted loudly.
His Cloak behind him moved without Wind at this moment, the Naginata suddenly raised, and then slammed heavily on the Ground, making a muffled Sound.
"Buzz!"
The void trembled, and an even stronger Conqueror's Haki instantly swept out, heading straight for the surroundings of the Island, causing the Trees around to sway wildly as if in a Gale.
"Ugh!"
"Thump thump!"
Marines who were vigilantly watching the Movement here in the Distant rolled their Eyes and fell softly to the Ground.
"Everyone retreat! You can't Endure this Aura!"
Vice Admiral McDonald looked at the surrounding Situation, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted loudly at the Marines.
The Marines also retreated immediately, and a tense smell permeated the Air, and everyone's hearts were raised high.
Facing Newgate's Aura, Nicholas glared back.
"Newgate! You know this trick is useless against me, so put it away, otherwise some of your Sons will not be able to withstand it."
In Nicholas's Observation Haki, among the Whitebeard Pirates, many Figures could not even last a breath in the face of this Powerful Figure's strong Will, and fainted and fell to the Ground, losing their Battle Strength.
The two stood facing each other, their Eyes fixedly staring at each other.
Everything around seemed Calm, but the Battle between them had already begun.
"Wahahaha, are we going to fight?"
Roger, who was sitting aside, was not affected at all and even showed an Interested expression.
"Is that kind of Monster really something we can deal with?"
Although the two had not yet taken action, the Marines who had been watching the Movement could already feel the domineering Aura emanating from the two Figures in the Distant. The Figures of the two seemed to be constantly magnified, and anyone or anything seemed extremely small in their Eyes.
For the first time, they suddenly felt that it was not without reason that the Navy had been unable to strengthen its Control over the New World. If these Monsters wanted to destroy the Navy Base in the New World, no one except those Admirals at Marine Headquarters could stop them.
"Gurarararara, Lightning Brat, it's been so many years since I saw you, and you really haven't disappointed me!"
Whitebeard stared at Nicholas, who showed no discomfort on his Face in the face of his Conqueror's Haki pressure, his Eyes filled with Excitement, which was the impulse to compete with a Strongest he had encountered.
"I am very curious now, just how is your Strength!"
His Voice echoed on the Island, clearly reaching the Ears of everyone on the Island.
Hearing this, Marco and others slightly changed their Complexion, and Roger's Gaze also became serious, staring at Whitebeard.
Nicholas did not say anything for a while. In just a few Words, he had understood the other party's meaning.
That is, if he wanted to get Intelligence from Amatsuki Toki, if the other party was willing, Whitebeard would have no Opinion at all. If the other party was unwilling, then he could only defeat Whitebeard to get the Intelligence he wanted.
In the end, for Whitebeard, the most important Thing was the Safety of his recognized Family, and everything else was not within the scope of his consideration.
"Newgate, aren't you afraid that Roger and I will join forces to take you down?"
"Your impulse may lead to the destruction of the Whitebeard Pirates here!"
Nicholas's indifferent Words echoed, and the meaning contained in them was stern and ice-cold, causing many Pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates to change their Complexion drastically.
At the same time, their Gaze subconsciously looked towards the members of the Roger Pirates. After all, in the three days and three nights of Battle, Whitebeard and others realized that perhaps they had an Advantage in Numbers, but in terms of Strength, except for Whitebeard who could be evenly matched with Roger, the Roger Pirates were undoubtedly stronger in Strength.
Now with Nicholas's joining, once Roger and Nicholas attack Pops at the same time, the Whitebeard Pirates may really be destroyed here.
Whitebeard smiled indifferently when he heard this.
"Neither Roger nor you Kid are such Weapons."
"Besides, even if you two attack together, the Outcome is hard to predict. In this Grand Line, who has Pops ever been afraid of!?"
These Words were full of Dominion over the World, but they were so real.
The current Whitebeard was at his Peak. In terms of Strength, he was really terrifying to the extreme.
His whole body was not covered with years of hidden Injuries like in the Marineford period, and he did not need to be on a Drip Bottle all day to maintain his Life.
At this time, he was like a Lion King in his prime, the most Powerful moment in his Life.
Nicholas's Eyes were solemn. After a long while, he slowly spoke.
"It seems that in the end, we still have to speak with Fists!"
Nicholas's Gaze was firm, and the Radiance in it was also becoming brighter and brighter.
Only by fighting with the Strongest can he go further.
