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

The battle between the two sides was characterized by its wide-ranging and dynamic movements, showcasing the raw beauty of brutal combat.

Ace unleashed a fiery fist, and blue flames surged toward Kuzan like a giant dragon. Kuzan dodged to the side and countered with an ice saber, the icy blade aimed straight for Ace's throat.

They separated from time to time, and the elemental power behind them began to exert its power, occupying a certain area.

Half the sky was dyed blue by flames, and the other half was frozen white by the cold air.

At the boundary, ice and fire devoured each other, emitting a sizzling sound.

"Not bad,"

"No wonder he inherited that old geezer's true skills,"

Ace wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gave a smug smile. "You're pretty good at fighting, aren't you?"

“Likewise,” Kuzan said calmly, exhaling a breath of cold air.

Strictly speaking, the two are even fellow disciples, and as everyone knows, those taught by the same master can't break each other's moves.

Their eyes met in mid-air, and the next second, a red light flashed in their eyes as they looked up at the distance almost simultaneously.

The rumbling of the earth continued.

In the distance, only an invisible darkness remained in the sky, and the thick clouds seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, forming a huge vortex.

Black and red lightning, symbolizing dominance, weaved through the clouds, each flash illuminating the shattered island below.

"It's coming."

"Damn, this looks way too exaggerated."

"Neither of them held back at all; they actually fought to this extent."

The crew members of both the Sunny and the Moby Dick looked into the distance, worried about their captains.

"I hope Luffy will be alright."

Chopper's eyes widened, his hooves gripping the ship's railing tightly, his whole body trembling.

Because the entire island sank!

Before their eyes, the not-so-small island, accompanied by a series of booming sounds, began to sink into the seabed as the ground collapsed and trembled.

The force of the impact at the very center caused huge cracks to appear in the ground, which spread outwards. The entire island seemed to be shattered, with pieces sinking into the churning seawater.

"Will Dad be alright?"

The Whitebeard Pirates instinctively became worried.

There's no need to worry about Dad drowning now, because he's no longer an ability user.

But how long has it been since they've seen such a terrifying battle scene?

The fights between Dad and Roger weren't like this before. They never decided a winner so quickly; it usually took days and nights.

Battles between the two pirate crews often end with the two captains laughing, drinking and fighting, until the island collapses and they move on to another place to continue.

I originally thought today would be just an ordinary exchange match.

After all, Luffy and Ace are brothers, and Luffy even saved his father's life during the Impel Down war. How could the two of them fight so intensely?

They showed absolutely no mercy.

My dad is not as old as he used to be.

“They’re here.” Ace’s eyes flickered, and his pupils contracted slightly.

"Oh dear, these two men are really something else." Kuzan scratched his head, while his other hand began to conjure ice.

Not far away, a powerful shockwave rushed towards them.

It was a ring of transparent ripples visible to the naked eye. Wherever it passed, the seawater seemed to be pushed aside by a giant hand, forming a tsunami tens of meters high.

It's just the aftermath.

The two men acted almost simultaneously; otherwise, the ship behind them might have been capsized.

Ace spread his arms, and blue flames unfurled like wings, forming a barrier of fire in front of him.

Blue Flame, Great Flame Ring!

Kuzan pressed his hands onto the sea surface, creating an ice wall tens of meters thick in front of him.

Ice Age!

boom!

The moment the shockwave struck the flame barrier, the blue flames flickered violently. Ace frowned and withstood it. On the other side of the ice wall, huge blocks of ice shattered and flew everywhere, but ultimately blocked the devastating aftershocks.

After a while, the situation stabilized somewhat.

The roar of the sinking island gradually subsided, replaced by the crashing sound of the waves.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, two figures were revealed.

The Whitebeard Pirates were all worried about their father. Nami and the others were also a little worried, but not too much, since Luffy had already defeated Kaido and was the true Emperor of the Sea.

And when has that man ever truly caused any concern?

When you first set sail?

As the smoke and dust cleared, two figures appeared one after another.

Luffy stood on a floating rock, while Whitebeard stood on a larger reef, the two facing each other across the sea, hundreds of meters apart.

"Who, who won?"

"There don't seem to be any wounds. Could it be a draw?"

"Why don't you go and ask?"

The Whitebeard Pirates looked at each other.

Who would dare ask? But Luffy and Whitebeard both look fine, just their clothes are tattered. If we're talking about who's in worse shape, it's probably Whitebeard, whose cloak is only half intact.

Whitebeard was the first to move. The reef beneath his feet exploded with a roar, and he leaped toward the Moby Dick like a cannonball.

The enormous figure landed on the deck, causing the entire ship to shake violently.

After landing on the Moby Dick, Whitebeard paused, brandishing his Murakumogiri sword, and shouted, "Men, prepare the feast!"

The sound of that shout gave the Whitebeard Pirates the feeling that their father had won.

"oh!!!"

"Dad won!"

"As expected of Dad!"

The pirates cheered, brandishing their swords and spears in celebration.

Marco smiled helplessly.

These guys are still too young. Didn't they see that Dad's hand was trembling as he held the Murakumogiri?

Sure enough, the next second Luffy returned to the Sunny and shouted, "Uncle, remember to bring the treasure!"

The white-bearded man's smile froze for a moment, then he glared at them, his beard bristling, "Do you think I'd go back on my word?"

Luffy pursed his lips. "Who knows?"

Seeing the angry look on his father's face, Ace adjusted his hat and laughed, "So you lost after all?"

Whitebeard curled his lip, leaned Murakumogiri against the ship's railing, took a jug of sake from a pirate next to him, and took a big gulp. "That kid is a monster."

He wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions.

Two Devil Fruits awakened and fused perfectly, coupled with an endless stream of domineering aura.

The techniques that Luffy developed with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit were things that Whitebeard, who had lived for so many years, had never even imagined.

To withstand the vibration with your body?

Combining vibration and lightning?

And that black knife... let whoever wants to fight that kind of guy fight him.

"Dad, you've worked hard."

Marco smiled and handed him a clean cloak.

Whitebeard waved his hand, his gaze fixed on the distant Sunny, while Luffy received concern from his crew.

He laughed and said, "But this fight was really enjoyable; I haven't had such a good fight in a long time."

Ace laughed as the flames dissipated from his body, revealing his muscular upper body. "Hey, even though Luffy was the kid I used to beat up every day when he was a kid."

"Things are different now."

Jozu walked over and rubbed the bruise on his shoulder from Sanji's kick. "Not only am I a monster, but my crewmates are also ridiculously strong. That curly-browed chef's legwork is amazing too; he almost cracked my diamond."

“What about Vista?” Marco asked.

Bicester stepped out from the crowd with a satisfied smile on his face. "That green-haired swordsman, a three-sword style, is very strong. His style is completely different from Hawkeye's, but his life-or-death fighting style is exhilarating."

They are the swordsmen's favorite targets for combat.

Marco laughed and said, "It seems everyone is having a great time."

Meanwhile, on the Sunny, Nami, upon hearing the news of the treasure, excitedly hugged Luffy and kissed him several times.

"Wow! Wow! Luffy, you're amazing!"

Luffy felt a chill on his back for some reason.

Sure enough, when I looked up, I saw Robin's smiling face.

Nami, you're ruining my life!

However, Nami had clearly entered into her own fantasy.

The treasure of the Whitebeard Pirates!

Nami's eyes had transformed into Beli's symbol. "Treasure of Yonko level! The Whitebeard Pirates, who dominate the New World, must have a ton of money!"

Gold! Jewelry! Pele!

She grew increasingly excited, her whole body trembling, "I've won! I've won! I've won!"
