Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

In comparison, the fight between Ace and Kuzan is more realistic; the two are having a lively battle, and their clashes are quite spectacular.

Both of them were now quite engrossed in their battle, which had reached a fever pitch.

Although the person on the other side is Luffy's brother, given the relationship between Nami and Luffy, she should naturally stand on Ace's side.

But this battle is ultimately about the ownership of the treasure between the two pirate crews!

On the other hand, even though Kuzan hasn't been with the Straw Hat crew for very long, he's still a comrade.

Ace: "......"

Kuzan: "......"

Nami and her crew watched the battle from this side, along with many other members of the Whitebeard Pirates' division.

"No matter what, it's already a sure thing," Nami muttered to herself. "Luffy will definitely beat that white-bearded old man to a pulp."

As a result, even such a small sound was heard by a gifted pirate over there.

"How could that be! Dad won't lose!"

"That's right!" Several pirates nearby immediately chimed in. "Little thief Nami, don't think you're so great just because you ate a Logia-type Devil Fruit. Our old man is the strongest man in the world!"

"Brothers, let's show them what the Whitebeard Pirates are all about! Everyone..."

The leader of the pirates grabbed his weapon and was about to charge.

fighting!

Before they could finish speaking, Zoro and Sanji, who were still arguing, turned around at the same time, revealing devilish eyes.

"what?"

Just one word, coupled with that invisible sense of oppression, and the group of people immediately became obedient.

"Just kidding." The leader of the pirates chuckled awkwardly as he put away his weapon, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

"That's right, that's right,"

Another pirate quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "We're still family, why ruin our relationship?"

"We acknowledge Little Thief Cat as our leader!"

The third pirate was even more spineless, surrendering immediately and asking, "Could you go easy on me?"

Zoro and Sanji exchanged a glance, one holding his sword sheath and the other using his leg to sweep around.

"Ouch!"

"Spare me!"

"I'll never do it again!"

Several pirates screamed in agony as they were beaten and fled in terror.

"Hey, wait a minute, leave someone behind for questioning!" Nami suddenly remembered something and quickly called out.

Zoro casually tossed a pirate over, and the pirate flew through the air in a graceful arc before landing precisely in front of Nami.

The bruised and battered pirate looked at Nami with a fawning expression, his smile more like a grimace. "What are your orders, Boss? I'll answer to the best of my ability!"

"Do you know how much treasure the Whitebeard Pirates have?" Nami revealed a devilish smile, her eyes narrowing into crescent shapes.

"I think there should be quite a few." The pirate felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at Nami's expression.

This woman seems to have already taken all of the Whitebeard Pirates' treasure as her own!

"Then the white-bearded uncle must have the most treasure, right?" Nami asked, her eyes sparkling.

"My father certainly has a lot of treasure, but..."

The pirate stammered and couldn't give a coherent explanation.

As one of the Four Emperors' pirate crews, the Whitebeard Pirates naturally possessed a great deal of treasure.

They dominated the New World for decades, plundering countless merchant ships and defeating countless enemies.

However, their father, Whitebeard, kept his share very well hidden, and to this day, it seems that no one knows exactly how much treasure he had or where it was hidden.

Nami didn't mind his stammering, since everything would be hers eventually anyway!

As they were talking, a huge mushroom cloud rose up in the distance, indicating another violent collision.

Rumble,

The clouds in the sky had been slowly gathering, but the shockwave from this collision cleared everything from the sky again.

In the distance, two figures could be seen falling from the dissipating mushroom cloud: Whitebeard's massive body on one side, and Luffy on the other.

"This kind of battle is much more enjoyable than training alone in the One Piece training program."

Luffy lay on the ground and laughed heartily.

The ground around him rippled and rolled, as if it were alive, gently lifting him up.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, exhaled a breath of white air, and flames spread over the wounds on his body. Soon, these wounds, large and small, disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The regenerative abilities of mythical beasts are still too authoritative.

Now Luffy finally understands why Kaido, who has fought so many battles, only had a noticeable scar on his chest before his final battle with him.

Ordinary attacks can't even break Kaido's defenses; only attacks imbued with Conqueror's Haki have a chance of leaving scars on Kaido.

In contrast, Whitebeard's body was already covered with various scars, large and small, before the Impel Down War, marks left by countless battles over the decades.

However, since it was corrupted by the power of that person from the World Government during the Impel Down War, and then dissolved by Nika's power, the remaining half of its demonized body seems to possess remarkable regenerative abilities.

"It seems that half of the body is quite useful."

Luffy noticed the white mist emanating from half of Whitebeard's body and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes. "His recovery speed from this injury is almost as fast as mine."

He looked ahead, and the huge body slowly stood up. The Murakumo-giri in his hand slammed down on the ground, and the surrounding dust was shaken up and scattered, revealing the body that stood firm.

Whitebeard was covered in blood, but the wounds were no longer visible. His demonized half of his body writhed like a living thing, rapidly healing the wounds.

"Kurarara, how can you compare to your terrifying physique?" Whitebeard laughed loudly. "You're almost as good as those two freaks, Kaido and Linlin."

"Kaido's physique? It's a bit worse than his."

After all, Kaido is a man who survived a free fall from a height of 10,000 meters.

He paused, then asked with some doubt, "Linlin is the old lady, right? Is her physique stronger than Kaido's?"

Among the Four Emperors, Big Mom and Kaido are both representatives of the physical type, but Luffy has only fought Kaido seriously once so far, and in his normal state, he is still a long way from Kaido.

Some people are truly gifted, and no matter how hard they try, they can't catch up.

Whitebeard's lips curled slightly. "In terms of talent, none of us from the Rocks Pirates can compare to Linlin. When she was very young, she caused quite a stir in the Giant Village. That kind of power was simply not something a human should have. But I don't know when she started to get obsessed with having children and collecting races, and her talent was wasted."

If Big Mom had worked half as hard as Kaido, who knows how strong she would be now.

She's already terrifying enough as she is.

His physique was monstrous, with steel skin and unparalleled strength. Combined with the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit, he was practically a walking natural disaster.

However, the older woman's talent was placed before this young man...

Whitebeard took a deep breath and looked intently at Luffy. "I originally thought Roger and Rocks were the pinnacle of this world. Roger's Haki and Rocks' ambition reached heights that ordinary people couldn't reach. Now it seems that the tide of time is indeed moving forward. The waves splashed by the pirates of the New World are already strong enough, but a pirate like you is truly one of a kind."

He has already valued Luffy enough, but it still seems far from enough.

Losing the Tremor-Tremor Fruit still had some impact on Whitebeard.

For decades, he had grown accustomed to the feeling of wielding destructive power. With the Tremor-Tremor Fruit in hand, he was a man with the power to destroy the world.

It was a pure head-on clash; to be honest, he hadn't had a battle like this in many years.

It will take some time to get used to it.

Luffy watched Whitebeard's actions, a red glint flashing in his eyes, "Aren't you going to drag this out any longer?"

Whitebeard laughed loudly, "This island can't hold us up for a few more days, and I also want to see where the limits of this body are right now."

On this vast ocean, when pirates of the same level fight, there's no such thing as me instantly killing you or you instantly killing me.

This isn't a game based on combat power data, where whoever has the higher stats can crush the opponent.

Even if there is a difference in strength between pirates of the same level, it is simply wishful thinking to think that you can win without paying a price.

For example, the battle between Kuzan and Akainu lasted for ten days and ten nights before a winner was decided.

If the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates were to meet, a fight would take at least several days.

Usually, towards the end of the fight, only Whitebeard and Roger were left to fight, while everyone else just watched from the sidelines.

Only the superior and inferior are judged, not life and death.

Based on the strength that Luffy and Whitebeard have shown so far, if they were to fight at full strength, it would probably take several days and nights to determine a winner.

But this guy is still holding back, isn't he?

Whitebeard's personality is clearly not the type to need to be spared. If Luffy were to hold back because of some concern, it would be better to just admit defeat in this battle.

"Since you've put it that way, it wouldn't be right not to go all out."

Luffy paused, glanced in Nami's direction, and smiled, "After all, I was worried that my crewmates wouldn't have a place to stay, so I fought too restrainedly. But it seems that most of them are close to a decisive battle, so we don't need to drag it out any longer."

Moreover, the One Piece training program is already being expedited.

What's the next plan?

It seems to be about food or something.

Thinking of this, Luffy was immediately filled with motivation.

With a whoosh,

Behind Luffy, Conqueror's Haki condensed like a dark waterfall, its black aura solidifying into a tangible form, like an inverted river, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Should we start with this aspect?"

Whitebeard narrowed his eyes, and a solidified form of Conqueror's Haki appeared behind him, resembling a majestic mountain.

However, compared to this young man, he was actually inferior in this respect, both in terms of the quality and quantity of his domineering presence.

The next second, a faint vibration could be felt in the air. Whitebeard gripped his Murakumogiri tightly and looked over with a serious expression.

"The power awakened by the Tremor-Tremor Fruit can be used directly, and its destructive power is quite formidable, even capable of shattering space itself. However, I recently thought of another use for it. What would happen if this power were applied to myself?"
