Chapter 169 You Rely Too Much on Devil Fruit Ability
"Gurararara!" Whitebeard, as a Top-Tier Powerhouse, naturally wouldn't fear battle, especially a battle that made the Blood in his body surge. He laughed loudly and approached Nicholas at an extremely fast Speed, then swung his Sword.
"Boom!" The Ground, already battered and broken, exploded again. Nicholas transformed his Body into Lightning to evade this Attack, and a Giant Deep Pit appeared in the Place where he had originally stood.
When Nicholas reappeared in the Sky, he waved his hands, and immediately bolts of Lightning shot out again towards Whitebeard.
"Crackle!" Whitebeard swung the Murakumogiri in his hand. The Naginata, enveloped in Armament Haki, easily split apart the Lightning. Whitebeard stood on the Ground, staring at Nicholas in the Sky.
"Planning to fight a war of attrition? I'm very curious, Nicholas, just how strong are you now!" As his Words reached the end, Whitebeard's Form also suddenly leaped up, rushing towards Nicholas.
Clearly, although Whitebeard's Attack power, defense, health, and Burst were all high, his aerial combat Ability was still somewhat lacking. Although he could briefly stay in the Sky, he obviously couldn't fight at Full Power while airborne.
"Huff!" Watching Whitebeard rush towards him, Nicholas took a deep breath. At this moment, his Complexion became exceptionally serious.
He could feel the already immense Aura on Whitebeard's Body surge again at this moment. It was a State of extreme excitement, where the Blood and Fighting Spirit throughout his Body were boiling. The exchange with Nicholas had already ignited the most fervent Fighting Spirit in Whitebeard's chest.
"Crackle!" Blue Electric Arc flashed on Nicholas's Body again, bursting forth with dazzling Radiance. As the Thundercloud in the Sky was shattered by Whitebeard's Vibration, the Battle between the two in the short term could be said to be a complete contest of their raw Strength.
"Bang bang bang!" Whitebeard strode forward, his Speed reaching its limit, even causing the Air to explode with air bursts. Almost in an instant, Whitebeard arrived above Nicholas's head. With terrifying Speed, Whitebeard laughed heartily and swung his Sword down.
In a daze, Nicholas seemed to see an incomparably ferocious, mountain-like Giant Beast grinning at him.
"Boom!" In the Air, a shattering Sound rang out. Then, under Nicholas's Observation Haki perception, Whitebeard swung his Naginata. On the Blade Edge of the Naginata, Vibration waves rapidly emerged, Space instantly began to fluctuate, and an inexplicable Dangerous Aura was rapidly descending around him.
"Crack!" Red Radiance surged in Nicholas's Eyes, then Lightning suddenly burst forth, and Nicholas's Form disappeared from the Place. Just as he transformed into Lightning and dissipated, the Naginata had already slashed through the Place where he had been, smashing heavily into the void.
"Crack!" A Sound like glass shattering rang out. Terrible Cracks appeared in the Air, and everything around was buzzing and trembling.
"Gurararara, truly terrifying Observation Haki, Nicholas!" Whitebeard laughed loudly, his Body moved again, the golden long hair behind him flew wildly in the wind. The skin on his Body that had been burned by Lightning before was rapidly peeling off, revealing the blood-red skin underneath. The Wound that had been cut open had also stopped bleeding, with only the slender Wound indicating that he had been cut before.
But this scene made Nicholas even more shocked in his heart. It could be said that this Speed of recovery was truly outrageous.
Almost in an instant, the Naginata descended above Nicholas's head again. This Time, Whitebeard's Power was even stronger, his Speed even faster, and he swung his Sword down fiercely.
"Bang!" Unexpectedly, Nicholas didn't dodge this Time. The Naginata, which should have directly struck Nicholas's head, strangely struck to the side.
"Gurararara, is it that invisible Thing again?" Whitebeard didn't seem to mind that his Sword had missed. He directly raised his Fist and smashed it towards Nicholas.
Facing Whitebeard's Attack, Nicholas also entered Elementalization, transforming into Lightning. However, almost at the instant he entered Elementalization, a Vibration Power emanated from Whitebeard's Fist. Then Nicholas was smashed out of his Elementalization State by a Fist, flying out heavily. While in the Sky, he was already spitting out large mouthfuls of Blood.
The Vibration Power invaded his Body, making it feel as if his Body was constantly vibrating. Coupled with the Fist just now, it directly made him spit Blood. It must be said that the Battle intuition of this Monster, who had experienced countless battles, was truly terrifying. When Nicholas entered Elementalization, he directly used the Tremor-Tremor Fruit Ability to interfere with the Elementalization Lightning. After breaking the Lightning State, he directly followed up with a Fist.
"Elementalization isn't invincible! You rely too much on Devil Fruit Ability, Nicholas!" Watching Nicholas fly out backwards, Whitebeard didn't take advantage of the situation to follow up with another Attack. Instead, he stood in Place, holding his Naginata and said with a smile. His appearance looked like an elder lecturing a junior.
As Nicholas flew backwards, he suddenly adjusted his Body in the Sky, opened the five fingers of his Right Hand, and grabbed at the Air in front of him. Accompanied by the piercing Sound of Lightning, Nicholas actually glided in the Sky for a while before forcibly stopping.
Then Nicholas raised both hands towards the Sky. "Rumble!" Just as he opened his hands, above the Deserted Island, the Electric Particle floating in the Sky seemed to respond to a call, gathering from all directions at an extremely fast Speed.
It could be said that the Lightning Particles released by Nicholas in the Battle just now instantly responded to him at this moment. Dazzling Electric Light was released everywhere on the Island. In an instant, above the Ground of the entire Deserted Island, Lightning Snakes wantonly danced wildly, stretching out in continuous swathes. Blue, dazzling Electric Arc illuminated the surroundings in a white expanse.
"Rumble!" Whitebeard looked up, gazing at the Lightning above Nicholas's head, his Complexion slightly changed, shocked in his heart. "Just how many more moves do you have that you haven't shown yet, Nicholas!" Whitebeard muttered, looking at the apocalyptic scene around him.
"Crackle!" Suddenly, a Lightning Light shot down, directly striking towards Whitebeard. Then, as if in a chain reaction, Thunder Sound deafened the Sky above the Deserted Island. Immediately afterwards, Whitebeard's Eyes were submerged in Lightning. He couldn't see anything else in front of him except Lightning.
Lightning crisscrossed and thundered down, covering two-thirds of the Deserted Island's area. Giant bolts of Lightning wantonly bombarded the Ground, indiscriminately blasting large patches of black scorch marks into the Ground.
"The Island, the Island is destroyed!" "Is that the Power of Monsters on the Grand Line? Too terrifying!" On the Moby Dick, many People were extremely nervous. Sweat beaded on their foreheads as they stared intently at the Deserted Island in front of them, which was completely enveloped in Electric Light, constantly swallowing their saliva.
The Lightning crisscrossing above the Deserted Island was most dazzling at the Lightning Light in the very center. Under the stunned gaze of the People, this visual feast brought by the Lightning lasted for a full seven or eight minutes before gradually subsiding.
And with the Lightning subsiding, the landform and environment of this Island had undergone a huge change. The original Forest had disappeared, replaced by a large number of Trees burning with Flame, and even Electric Arc occasionally appeared on the Ground.
"Huff huff, that's truly a terrifying Attack! But wanting to defeat me is still a bit short!" Under the heavy panting Sound, Whitebeard's Complexion was solemn. Then he slammed the Naginata into the Ground, clenched both Fists, and slowly bent over. "Next, it's your turn to see my Attack!" A majestic, heavy Sound came out, and Nicholas's Eyes suddenly contracted.
