Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 440 Whitebeard: Your path is still very young, it shouldn't end here (Third update!)

We clearly agreed to a swordsmanship contest...

As a result, Uchiha Sasuke, this young man, disregarded martial ethics and directly activated Susanoo, unleashing a powerful slash that sent a group of Whitebeard Pirates captains flying!

The slash unleashed by Susanoo knocked away many of Whitebeard's squad captains and landed directly on the sea, creating endless waves!

A group of Whitebeard Pirates captains lay sprawled on the shore!

Diamond Jozu, captain of the 3rd Division…

Sachi, the captain of the 4th Division…

Captain Vista of the 5th Division…

Captain Bramank of the 6th Division…

Captain Namur of the 8th Division…

Captain Blenheim of the 9th Division…

Captain Curiel of the 10th Division…

Complete defeat!

So many captain-level figures were renowned in the latter half of the Grand Line, yet they were all defeated by Uchiha Sasuke in a single move!

"You bastard..."

Marco transformed into a blue phoenix and landed back in front of Susanoo, his expression somewhat grim: "The Spade Pirates' captain isn't very strong, but the first mate seems incredibly powerful!"

Yes.

The captain of the Spade Pirates is pretty weak.

Portgas D. Ace is currently being overwhelmed by Whitebeard and has no chance to fight back, but Sasuke Uchiha has directly defeated the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates!

"Do you think our captain isn't strong enough?"

Sasuke Uchiha, manipulating his Susanoo and wielding a massive ninja sword, aimed it at Marco the Phoenix and coldly continued, "But Portgas D. Ace is the best captain in the world!"

The next moment, Susanoo's ninja sword was swung once again!

A slash landed on Marco, almost tearing his body in two. Even with the powerful regenerative ability of the Mythical Zoan-type Phoenix Fruit, it still greatly depleted Marco's stamina!

"Do you still want to resist the power of Susanoo?"

Sasuke Uchiha stared at Marco, whose purple Susanoo was filled with chakra that formed a giant bow. This sight caused a hint of panic to appear in Marco's eyes!

This guy…

It wasn't specifically designed to restrain him!

What kind of ability does this guy named Uchiha Sasuke possess? The appearance of his Susanoo really looks like some kind of Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.

Sasuke Uchiha had no time to pay attention to Marco's wild thoughts. He quickly drew back the giant bow in his hand, and the purple light once again gathered to form a long arrow that landed on the bow!

"snort!"

The purple arrow flew out swiftly!

The arrow was so fast that it pierced through Marco's body in an instant, pinning the Phoenix Fruit user to the ground!

Marco, the captain of the 1st Division, has been defeated!

At this point, all the squad leaders who had come with Whitebeard were defeated by Uchiha Sasuke in just a few minutes!

The battle between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Spade Pirates represents two extremes.

Whitebeard single-handedly humiliated Captain Ace, while Sasuke Uchiha single-handedly humiliated the other members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

No matter how Ace resisted, he couldn't stop Whitebeard's fist; no matter how the Whitebeard Pirates resisted, they couldn't resist Uchiha Sasuke's power.

This scene is truly amazing.

"Whitebeard..."

Ace, covered in wounds, barely managed to muster his strength as he looked up at the white-bearded man and said, "I'll leave my life here. Spare my men. Sasuke is no match for you. Let Sasuke take them away..."

"Still a clueless brat..."

Whitebeard grabbed Ace by the collar, his eyes narrowing slightly, and said, "No wonder you brat could get others on your ship..."

Unlike Ace's slowness.

Whitebeard's Observation Haki had already allowed him to sense the situation on the other side of the battlefield. He had a huge advantage on this side, while his sons were at a huge disadvantage on the other...

The battles on both sides looked like adults fighting children...

The battle between kings went awry. While their status might seem acceptable, the actual fighting prowess was seriously lacking…

After watching Ace collapse, Whitebeard loosened his collar and looked at Sasuke Uchiha on the other side of the battlefield, who had just finished ravaging the Whitebeard Pirates' division commanders: "That brat, isn't he the strongest rookie of this era?"

"Hmph, so this is the strongest pirate crew in the world?"

Sasuke Uchiha disbanded his Susanoo, glanced at the Whitebeard Pirates whom he had single-handedly defeated, and his face was full of contempt.

Uchiha Sasuke and Whitebeard slowly turned their heads to look at each other, and their auras erupted again!

A surge of overwhelming Conqueror's Haki shot straight into the sky!

Both Sasuke Uchiha and Whitebeard possessed Conqueror's Haki that was among the highest in the New World, and at this moment they were evenly matched!

The two bursts of Conqueror's Haki suddenly collided!

The impact of the clash of the two people's Conqueror's Haki almost instantly flattened the island, turning the once lush island into flat land in an instant!

Jinbe, the only one still conscious, stared at the two men with a look of panic on his face. This was the first time Jinbe had ever seen Whitebeard treat a pirate so seriously!

but…

That is absolutely right!

Because Uchiha Sasuke is in no way inferior!

Or rather, Sasuke Uchiha was the first pirate Jinbe had ever seen who could charge headlong into a pirate who was on par with Whitebeard!

The white-bearded man gripped his large sword tightly, slowly approaching Uchiha Sasuke. A grin spread across his face as he loudly proclaimed, "Gurarararar... brat, you didn't go too far with my sons, did you!"

"Then we'll have to see..."

Sasuke Uchiha slowly drew his sword and walked step by step toward Whitebeard, his voice suddenly taking on a chilling edge: "...You went too far with my captain!"

"What an interesting little rascal!"

The white-bearded man looked at Uchiha Sasuke, his smile widening: "Gurarararar... Compared to that brat Shanks when he was young, you seem to be even stronger. No wonder you dare to be so arrogant..."

There are no suitable candidates to compare them to in the entire ocean.

Even though Whitebeard has seen so many ups and downs over the years, he still can't find anyone who can compare to Uchiha Sasuke in terms of strength alone.

After all... not everyone can easily defeat the many captains of the Whitebeard Pirates single-handedly, especially this kid who looks to be only a teenager!

Uchiha Sasuke, holding his Kusanagi sword upside down, slowly walked forward, his voice growing increasingly cold: "Don't compare yourself to a red-haired guy!"

"They don't even consider the Four Emperors a threat?"

The white-bearded man's eyes flickered, and his smile deepened: "Kid, I'm really getting more and more interested in you!"

"But you have a good eye for captains, kid. That kid named Ace certainly has the qualities to be a captain!"

"Then just obediently hand over your head!"

Uchiha Sasuke swung his Kusanagi sword at Whitebeard, his body enveloped in a gust of wind, instantly reaching Whitebeard!

Clang!

Whitebeard gripped his greatsword tightly, blocking Sasuke Uchiha's attack. He also wielded a supreme grade sword called Murakumogiri!

The moment their blades clashed, a shockwave rippled outwards from them, and the clouds in the sky quickly dispersed!

I have to say…

The two men unleashed their Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, which swirled around them and collided with each other, sending shockwaves flying and blasting countless people away!

On the coast, gullies suddenly appeared in the earth!

On the sea, waves tens of meters high surged outwards continuously!

"Gurarararar... It's been so long since I've enjoyed a battle like this!"

Whitebeard shook off his cloak, and the greatsword in his hand suddenly flashed with a burst of light—this was the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

Paramecia-type Devil Fruit - Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

This fruit is hailed as the strongest Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, and is said to possess the power to destroy the world!

Whitebeard has possessed this power for many years; the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's ability is like a part of his body, ready to be unleashed at any time!

Sasuke Uchiha's body was instantly blasted away!

The skeleton of Susanoo quickly floated out from his body to resist the impact of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. The first form of Susanoo skeleton cracked instantly when it encountered the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

Sasuke Uchiha looked at the tall figure of the white-bearded man in the distance, a look of surprise flashing across his face. This was the first time he had ever seen such a terrifying ability!

This guy…

No wonder he's known as the strongest man in the world!

Sasuke Uchiha's surprise gradually faded, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Heh... this is the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit... not much stronger than I imagined..."

"Gurala la la la..."

The white-bearded man slowly clenched his fist, his smile remaining unchanged: "These kids nowadays are way more arrogant than we were back then..."

Before he could finish speaking, the white-bearded man's fist suddenly slammed towards Uchiha Sasuke!

His fist smashed cracks into the air out of thin air—no, it could also be said that the space itself was cracked!

Sasuke's Observation Haki instantly sensed this surging power, a power that even Susanoo couldn't withstand!

The next moment, a light flashed in Sasuke's eyes, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot using Amenotejikara!

A stone appeared out of thin air at the spot where Sasuke had just been, and was instantly turned to dust by a force that appeared out of nowhere!

"An interesting ability..."

Whitebeard clenched his fist and slammed it into the air again, cracks reappearing around him as immense force surged toward Sasuke once more!

"Susanoo!"

The complete Susanoo suddenly enveloped Sasuke!

The towering Susanoo was sent flying by a single punch from Whitebeard!

The power of this punch even caused cracks to appear on the hardest Susanoo. Even though Sasuke was inside the Susanoo crystal, he could feel the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!

This kind of attack is simply impossible to defend against!

It's really hard to resist such a pure power offensive. Unless you use some kind of forbidden technique, there's really no way to win.

It's even hard to say whether the stalemate will continue...

Whitebeard's strength is too great.

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes flickered slightly. Now that things had come to this point, should he admit defeat here... or should he really fight Whitebeard to the death?

Sasuke was starting to have second thoughts about continuing the fight.

The white-bearded man didn't use his full strength either, perhaps due to his physical condition.

Just as Sasuke Uchiha was wondering how to bring it up, Whitebeard offered him a way out...

This man saw through Sasuke's inner conflict.

However, Whitebeard thought that Uchiha Sasuke might want to use some kind of self-harming technique to win, so the tall man took the initiative to suggest stopping the fight.

The world's strongest man smiled and extended his hand to Uchiha Sasuke: "Gurararara... Sasuke brat, let's call it a day! If we go all out, we won't be able to control the battlefield!"

"Do you really think you're guaranteed to win?"

Sasuke Uchiha, on the other hand, seemed somewhat displeased. He slowly curled his fingers and said in a deep voice, "I'm only just starting to get excited!"

"Gurala la la la..."

The white-bearded man laughed loudly and shook his head, looking at the stubborn Uchiha Sasuke: "Kid, I'm an old man, I can only pave a path for young people. You brats haven't seen much yet, you shouldn't cut your own path here..."

If a promising young man were to fight him to the death here, it would be a huge loss for the entire world.

The problem is...

These words reached Sasuke's ears...

Does that sound a bit like Konoha's ridiculous Will of Fire?

Sasuke Uchiha slowly raised his head, looked at the white-bearded man, and said with a hint of displeasure, "That's the kind of thing I hate most!"

One by one…

They're all like this.

Everyone is saying that you are still young, that there is still much hope for the future, and that the future lies in you young people.

Sasuke originally thought this pirate world was at least somewhat normal, but he never expected that things would come to this point, with Whitebeard also uttering those words...

Do these people have no idea how much pressure young people face?

These young people are facing Uehara Naraku! He clearly knows nothing about the truth, yet he always talks as if there's hope for their future…

"Gurarararara... Kid, this world ultimately belongs to you young people, that's a fact!"

The white-bearded man smiled and opened his palm, saying to Uchiha Sasuke, "Uchiha Sasuke, you and your captain are both good. Be my son, and do whatever you want on this vast sea!"

Third update!

I feel like the Marineford War broke out because Ace is somewhat like the prince of the Whitebeard Pirates.

I need to go to sleep!

Because I'll be forced to adjust my sleep schedule tomorrow!
