Chapter 166 Whitebeard's Pressure
In the Lightning Light, the burly Figure grasped his Naginata and planted it on the Ground. Lightning Light crackled around his Whole Body, his Complexion faintly ferocious, appearing somewhat pained. As if noticing Nicholas in the distance, the burly Figure in the Lightning Light let out a low roar.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, the Air trembled, and the Ground vibrated at that moment.
"Rip!"
It sounded as if cloth was being roughly torn apart. Nicholas's Eyes narrowed suddenly. From within the Lightning Light ahead, Whitebeard, Naginata in hand, stepped out.
He had a head of Blonde Hair, which stood on end due to the violent Lightning stimulation. Even his iconic Beard was scorched black and dry.
On the surface of his Form, black markings from being struck by Lightning had appeared.
Clearly, Whitebeard had sustained considerable Damage from Nicholas's attack just now.
Despite being injured, Whitebeard's Action and State seemed completely unaffected.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The burly Form ran forward, the heavy Footsteps like an ancient Giant Beast trampling the Ground. Watching the figure charging towards him like a demon god, the Fighting Spirit in Nicholas's Eyes grew stronger and stronger.
Powerful! Whitebeard at this moment was unimaginably powerful, like a towering Mountains standing before him, its peak out of sight. It constantly exuded an oppressive, despairing, and heavy Aura, and you never knew where his Limit lay.
It was as if Nicholas's previous series of Attacks, which would be fatal to an Ordinary Person, were completely endured by Whitebeard, who still looked as vigorous as a dragon.
However, this time, Whitebeard didn't utter any Words. His Speed became faster and faster, making the Atmosphere on the Battlefield even more tense.
It could be said that in a Battle, whether it was Taunt or various vocal aids, it indicated that both sides had Reserve Strength.
But when both sides fell silent, focusing solely on exchanging blows, it meant that they were both exerting Full Power, with no Energy to spare for words.
It was like a Street Brawl, where people with Clubs would exchange Harsh Words, but in the end, most would just go home, or at worst, end up in a Hospital for disinfection and a few stitches with bandaging.
Such situations were entertaining to watch from afar.
But once you saw both sides grabbing Weapons and fighting in silence, you should get as far away as possible. If you were a Good Citizen, you should also quickly call the police.
Whitebeard, who was already fast, increased his Speed again. In an instant, he closed the hundred-meter Distance between them, arriving In front of Nicholas. The Naginata in his hand swung down fiercely.
Facing the Naginata swung down by Newgate, Nicholas's Complexion remained calm.
"Sword, come!"
He stretched out his Right Hand, and a Long Sword rapidly appeared in his hand, radiating an Eerie Radiance.
Against an Ordinary Person, Nicholas might have directly used Lightning to condense a Weapon to block.
But his Opponent was Whitebeard, not some Cannon Fodder, and the Saijō Ō Wazamono Sword Murakumogiri in his hand was not some Cheap Goods.
Using a Weapon constructed from Lightning Element to block would be like courting death.
After blocking Whitebeard's Attack, Nicholas's Figure slowly transformed into Lightning and dissipated in place.
Whitebeard didn't seem surprised at all by Nicholas's sudden disappearance. He then clenched his Fist, shrouded in a pale white Radiance, and slammed it fiercely into the empty Air beside him.
"Boom!"
The moment he threw his Fist, a Long Sword appeared from the Air.
Fist and Sword Clash, instantly, Air Wave Surge, Lightning Flow, and the Ground also rumbled and vibrated. Cracks like Spider Web appeared.
Then, Lightning surged on the Long Sword, spreading towards Whitebeard.
The latter's Eyes narrowed. Seeing his already tattered Cuff being swept by the Lightning and instantly turning to Ashes, his Eyes involuntarily became more serious. From the start of the Battle until now, he had experienced the formidable Power of Nicholas's Lightning.
"Crack!"
The Fist resisting the Long Sword suddenly clenched forcefully. With a slight pause, Ripples appeared in the Space around the Fist, as if it was being Vibrated. At the same time, the originally surging Lightning in the Rippling Sky was also scattered into Particles and dissipated into the Sky.
"Kid, this is far from enough!!!"
Whitebeard roared in a low voice. Then, he used his other hand to invert the Naginata and plant it on the Ground. He quickly clenched his Fist, Armament Haki Flowing Sakura wrapped around it, along with Tremor-Tremor Fruit Power, and slammed it fiercely towards Nicholas.
At the same moment, Nicholas's Figure began to transform into Lightning, entering Elementalization State.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
As Whitebeard's Fist slammed out, a terrifying explosion erupted all the way from the Island to In the Sea. The terrifying Aura of Destruction swept away everything in its path, as if an Eraser had erased a section of the Island, leaving a Trace hundreds of meters wide and thousands of meters long extending into the Sea.
On the Seabed, cracks appeared along with Whitebeard's Attack. Amidst the earth-shattering tremors, scorching Seabed Magma erupted. On the Sea Surface, Waves surged tens of meters high, as if some terrifying Monster was Ravage beneath the Sea Surface.
On the Moby Dick, many who had joined later widened their Eyes.
Looking at the constantly rumbling Island ahead and the raging Waves on the Sea Surface, when they imagined themselves facing such an Attack, they all felt a sense of suffocation.
It wasn't just those who had joined recently; even Marco was staring intently at the Island. He had never seen Whitebeard like this since joining the Ship. Usually, ordinary Opponents could be dealt with by the Crew member. Even when facing the Roger Pirates, their Battles were more like Reminisce.
Now, facing Nicholas and Whitebeard at Full Power, Marco realized for the first time what true Monsters on the Sea were.
"What kind of Monsters are these two?"
"This level of Battle is just the beginning!"
Teach, watching the Battle on the Island, couldn't help but tremble slightly, excited by such Power.
Indeed, strictly speaking, Whitebeard and Nicholas had only been fighting for less than ten minutes, and the Battle had just begun.
But in these short minutes, the Power displayed by these two was a Great Power that many people could not even imagine.
Gales howled, and Raging Waves surged. Vice Admiral Wallace's Warship also shook violently.
Looking at the creaking Warship, Vice Admiral Wallace had no choice but to Order the Warship to retreat further to a safe Sea Area. He then took a Lifeboat with a Visual Den Den Mushi to continue broadcasting the Battle on the Island. Clearly, for the Navy, firsthand Intelligence on these two heavyweight Pirates was extremely important.
"Vice Admiral Lord!"
"Vice Admiral! I'm in better State, let me go instead."
The People on the Warship, hearing Wallace's decision, spoke up to dissuade him. After all, Vice Admiral Wallace, who had been beaten by Roger, was in a Seriously Injured Body. And now, the surrounding Sea Area had become extremely dangerous due to the Battle between the two on the Island. If an Accident occurred, it would be almost certain death.
"This is an Order!"
With that, Vice Admiral Wallace was about to board the Ship. After all, a Marine who dared to lead a team to monitor the Roger Pirates was no Coward.
"Vice Admiral, Admiral Sengoku is calling!"
Clearly, the situation here had also been discovered by the Headquarters through the Visual Den Den Mushi.
"Yes, understood!"
After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Vice Admiral Wallace boarded the Small Boat and watched the Warship leave.
