Whitebeard, leaping high, was aligned with the direction of the sun in the sky, making it difficult to look directly at him.
This was clearly a casual combat technique.
For the weak, this was almost a killing move, and for the strong, it was not entirely useless. At least it could make Whitebeard glow with golden light, adding to his momentum.
However, at this moment, for Kenji, Whitebeard's move was completely ineffective.
The golden sunlight that had stained Whitebeard was quickly washed away by the Conqueror's Haki that rushed straight towards him.
Of course, the Emission of Conqueror's Haki was certainly not just to wash away that dazzling golden light, it was aimed directly at Whitebeard himself.
"Is this...the power Roger mentioned?"
Whitebeard could clearly sense the immense power of the Conqueror's Haki before him, but his eyes flickered with excitement.
"It's just as Roger said...Conqueror's Haki like Armament Haki Emission!"
"But, can using Conqueror's Haki this way really achieve the effect Roger spoke of?"
Even though he had witnessed the Conqueror's Haki Emission he had heard about, and even though the person who told him about this power was his close friend Roger, Whitebeard still held some doubt in his heart.
After all, Conqueror's Haki Emission was something he had never heard of, it was a power beyond his comprehension.
"Can you block my Conqueror's Haki Infusion?"
Whitebeard exerted force with both hands, swinging his naginata down fiercely, its blade, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, met the Conqueror's Haki rushing upwards head-on.
Rumble!!
The next moment, the two forces of Conqueror's Haki clashed in mid-air, striking each other from a distance.
Although there was no physical contact, the power unleashed by the two forces was terrifyingly strong.
This abnormal phenomenon left the people of Wano Country, who were watching from a distance, amazed and exclaiming in wonder.
Just as these Wano Country samurai were watching with wide eyes, several Marine figures quietly arrived nearby, in a place they hadn't noticed.
"No wonder Kenji-san couldn't be found in the city...so he came here." Kuzan, who was leading them, scanned the area and quickly recognized Kenji.
Immediately after, he followed his Observation Haki, looking upwards, but the dazzling sunlight made it difficult to see the person in the air.
Finally, Kuzan had to make a shade over his forehead with his hand and squint his eyes to barely make out the person's general appearance.
"Is that...Whitebeard?!"
"No wonder the aura is so familiar, it really is him!"
Kuzan didn't understand why Whitebeard had suddenly appeared in the Flower Capital, deep within Wano Country
However, at this moment, he had no time for further thought. He only looked up for a moment before being quickly drawn to the intense battle in mid-air.
A dark red spherical object, which was actually a product of highly compressed energy, spontaneously formed in the center of Whitebeard's naginata and the two forces, with endless thick arcs roaring around the dark red energy sphere.
As the thick arcs continued to spread, Kuzan and the other spectators found it difficult to see the battle situation in mid-air.
In everyone's eyes, there was only the continuous roar of eerie, deep dark lightning.
The destructive power of these arcs was far more terrifying than it appeared on the surface. Even the arc remnants generated by the thick lightning alone could instantly smash giant rocks.
And those thick lightning bolts easily pierced through the ground, leaving deep pits that seemed impossible to heal.
The once vibrant and flourishing battlefield ground, after being invaded by endless Haki, saw its dense forest turn to dust.
At this moment, the people outside the battlefield watched as the Haki continued to spread, approaching them.
Oden was almost ready to lead the samurai to resist the arcs when the spread of the Haki gradually stopped.
However, what was terrifying was far more than just the Haki traces.
Just as the group thought the crisis was over, suddenly, strong tremor waves rolled in through the arcs.
The intense tremors literally caused the air to form visible ripples, and from a distance, there was a faint sense of spatial distortion.
"This is bad, very bad!"
Oden nervously watched the tremor waves, like a tidal wave, rolling in from a distance, then looked back at the bustling and lively Flower Capital behind him.
At this moment, he had only one thought.
You two fight, but don't destroy the Flower Capital!
Oden had previously fought Whitebeard one-on-one and had personally experienced the latter's abilities. That was a very unpleasant memory.
How did he, a perfectly fine person, almost get shaken apart?
And in that encounter, it wasn't until Whitebeard used the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit that Oden realized he had been holding back.
Later, when Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki Infusion was displayed, Oden understood: So, this person was just toying with me before?
Originally, he and Whitebeard had fought to a standstill, an intense battle lasting for a long time, but when Conqueror's Haki Infusion and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power were unleashed, this strongest man in Wano Country was defeated on the spot.
Such a situation made Oden recall how he used to toy with mountain bandits and brigands like children.
Only this time, he became the 'child' being toyed with.
"One day... I will also master that kind of power!" Oden looked at the center of the battlefield, which was no longer visible,
He secretly gripped the hilt of his sword, but then he was completely engulfed by the rolling tremor waves.
Center of the battlefield.
Kenji looked up at the sky, frowning slightly, and pouted, "Still playing in the sky? Don't want to come down?"
Diagonally above him, the Conqueror's Haki had already dissipated, and the sky was filled with dense arcs, making it almost impossible to discern the situation.
However, Kenji's Observation Haki naturally clearly sensed Whitebeard's exact location. He was still in the air above, doing who knows what.
In reality, Whitebeard was digesting the shock in his heart and carefully experiencing the feeling of just touching the Conqueror's Haki Emission.
It's unclear whether Whitebeard was extremely confident in his own strength or something else, as he actually stopped in the middle of an intense battlefield.
But soon, he got up again, simultaneously using the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. A brilliant white vibrating light cluster appeared on the blade of his naginata.
The next moment, he swung it down with all his might.
The blade, imbued with top-tier Conqueror's Haki, cut through countless arcs, pierced through the lightning's concealment, and quickly entered Kenji's field of vision.
At this moment, Kenji's right hand was already clenched into a fist, unsurprised by Whitebeard's sudden appearance.
"Heh, is it that tremor power again?"
Kenji saw the brilliant white vibrating light on Whitebeard's blade and smiled, "Perfect, I've been curious about your Tremor-Tremor Fruit power for a long time!"
