Chapter 131: The World's Strongest Man
Although Marco was slightly concerned about the other party's intentions, his father had given the order. moreover, his father's physical condition had improved significantly. The previous medical equipment had been removed, and the old man had recovered the vitality he possessed ten years ago.
There was no need to fear, even facing the monster who had displayed such amazing combat power in the World War.
However, the opponent possessed the strength of an Admiral. Although not currently holding the rank, his power was indistinguishable from the real deal. Furthermore, "Black Arm" Zephyr was with him.
Since his father's condition was restored, Zephyr, a Marine from the same era as Whitebeard, had likely recovered much of his physical condition as well.
Everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates needed to be serious. They all assumed battle stances.
When the NEO Marine fleet approached within a hundred meters, the other ships dropped anchor and halted. Only the small boat carrying Zephyr and Yuichi continued forward.
As they neared the Moby Dick, Yuichi prepared to board and meet the strongest man in the world.
"Do you want me to accompany you? Yuichi!" Zephyr asked.
"No! I am enough alone."
Hearing this, Zephyr remained worried. "Are you sure you can really convince Whitebeard?"
Yuichi paused for a second before saying, "I'm not sure."
Zephyr was speechless. He hadn't expected such an answer. If they couldn't convince Whitebeard, leaving this place would be difficult. A tough battle would be inevitable.
Yuichi smiled. "But I will try my best. After all, that person is a living legend. It is impossible to persuade him easily!"
With that, Yuichi jumped directly toward the Moby Dick. He walked steadily along the wooden plank set up between the two ships, moving toward the deck step by step.
Step.
Boom!
Invisible fluctuations spread outward. A wave of Conqueror's Haki burst forth! It wasn't intense at first, but as Yuichi took his second step, the Haki increased by another magnitude.
Step.
The Haki skyrocketed again.
Step... Step... Step...
Yuichi maintained a steady rhythm, and the waves of Haki emanating from his body grew stronger and stronger.
Seeing Yuichi's actions, Zephyr broke into a cold sweat. This kid actually... releases his Haki so unscrupulously!
On board, Marco felt the growing pressure and frowned at the crew on deck. If it's just this level, I can still bear it!
Just as he thought this, Marco regretted it. Cold sweat broke out on his face. The increasingly intense Haki was almost close to his father's Conqueror's Haki.
Who is this? Whose Conqueror's Haki is so scary?
Boom!
Crew members began to collapse.
Marco slapped his forehead sharply. "Oops..."
Thud! Thud!
Some of the crew froze. "What's wrong with them?"
Diamond Jozu spoke up. "Don't worry, they just passed out. They'll be fine in a while."
"Did they faint? Why?"
Jozu snorted coldly. "Apart from the Four Emperors in the New World, who else possesses this kind of Haki!"
Just as he spoke, the sound of heavy footsteps rang out. Yuichi, wearing a white cloak, stepped onto the deck of the Moby Dick. The crazy catharsis of his Haki split the ship's floorboards in an instant.
Yuichi strode toward Whitebeard.
Whitebeard looked down at Yuichi. Marine brat... he has such strong Conqueror's Haki! The Marines and World Government couldn't keep a man like this!
Marco and the others looked serious. It turned out that this Marine really possessed such terrifying Conqueror's Haki. This intensity was not inferior to their father's. To have Haki comparable to Pops at this age... he was indeed a monster!
When Yuichi was ten meters away from Whitebeard, he stopped suddenly, and a final, violent wave broke out.
Boom!
The elite crew members who were barely holding on fell to the ground one after another.
Yuichi stopped, and the Haki dissipated. Most of the crew on the ship were unconscious.
Whitebeard looked at Yuichi coldly. "Marine... no! It should be 'Pirate' now."
Yuichi smiled. "You could say that."
"Since you are a pirate, what are you doing here? Do you want to take the old man's head?" Whitebeard rumbled. "You have a big appetite! Kid, you just became a pirate and you're already eyeing the throne of the Four Emperors?"
It appeared Whitebeard was completely mistaken.
"I'm not looking at the throne of the Four Emperors, and I'm not here to take your head."
Hearing these words, Whitebeard smiled. "A person who unscrupulously released Haki says there is no hostility. Do you think the old man will believe that?"
Yuichi's face remained calm. "I just want to let the strongest man in the world see my strength. The purpose is not to be underestimated!"
"Gurararara... Interesting guy. Your Haki surprised me. It's rare to see a Conqueror's Haki awakened in a Marine!"
"My Conqueror's Haki didn't awaken in the Marines, but after I left!"
This sentence made Whitebeard, who was smiling, stop suddenly. "What did you say?"
Whitebeard wasn't sure if he had heard correctly. This kid said his Conqueror's awakened after leaving the Marines? How many days had he been away?
Awakening Conqueror's Haki was one thing, but that level of Haki could completely compete with him. Did he say he just awakened it? Although Conqueror's cannot be cultivated and strengthened through training alone, one does not simply awaken top-tier Haki immediately!
Where Yuichi had walked, the ship's planks were cracked by the pressure of the air alone. This kind of Haki, capable of causing physical damage, was not at all like the power a novice user could grasp.
"You... When did you say your Haki awakened?"
Yuichi smiled. "After leaving the Marines. That is, two days ago!"
Two days ago! Awakened Conqueror's, and it reached this level?
Whitebeard stared at Yuichi, but he sensed no lies in Yuichi's demeanor. This kid... is it really true? Impossible. A freshly awakened user can't control it to such an extent! A monster?
"Forget it. Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter," Yuichi said. "Whitebeard, I left the Marines, and I think you can guess the exact reason."
Yuichi paused. Whitebeard looked at him, waiting.
Yuichi's expression became extremely serious. "I came to see you to form an alliance!"
"Alliance?"
Whitebeard hadn't expected that. Unite with him? To do what? Deal with the Marines?
Whitebeard laughed. He wanted to tell Yuichi that he didn't need Yuichi's help, nor anyone's help, to deal with the Marines. As long as the Marines dared to provoke Whitebeard, he would never make it easy for them. Whitebeard feared no one in this sea!
"Go back, boy! This old man is not interested in uniting with anyone. No matter the enemy, I, Whitebeard, can deal with it myself!"
It was expected that Whitebeard would give such an answer. None of the Four Emperors were without pride.
Yuichi lowered his head, smiled lightly, and shook his head. "Really! The strongest man in the world, Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, does have the power to deal with all enemies. But... can you alone stand against the whole world?"
Whitebeard narrowed his eyes. "Against... a whole... world? Boy! What do you mean?"
