"Whitebeard, let me see how strong you are!"
After Nox landed on the island, the corner of his mouth slightly lifted, and his Haoshoku Haki soared into the sky.
The bloody Haoshoku Haki, mixed with Sword Intent and ultrasonic waves, rushed towards Whitebeard's direction. Even though they were separated by an island, it couldn't hinder the power of the Haoshoku Haki in the slightest.
"gura rara rara, Nox!!"
Whitebeard felt the overbearing and incredibly powerful aura surging from the opposite side, and his own Haoshoku Haki also burst out from within him, colliding with the bloody Haoshoku Haki.
"Rumble rumble!!!"
At the intersection in the middle of the island, the moment the two incredibly powerful Haoshoku Haki collided, it was like a violent storm of level thirteen was unleashed.
All the surrounding trees were flattened, and the ground was torn apart with cracks one after another.
However, after the two Haoshoku Haki collided and were in a stalemate for a moment, Whitebeard's Haoshoku Haki was continuously pushed back by Nox's Haoshoku Haki.
"Hmph!!!"
Seeing his Haoshoku Haki being constantly compressed, Whitebeard snorted coldly, holding Murakumogiri, and sensing Nox's aura, he rushed over quickly.
"Hahahaha!!"
Nox did the same, rushing towards Whitebeard. The clash of auras just now was just an appetizer; the real confrontation was next!
The distance of the entire island, under the extreme speed at which the two of them rushed towards each other, they quickly met in the center of the island!
"gura rara rara, Nox, take this slash!"
Whitebeard's Murakumogiri dragged on the ground as he ran, white vibration power and Haoshoku Haki intertwined on the black blade covered in Busoshoku Haki. Along the way, as the blade sliced through the ground, the earth and Rocks completely turned into dust and vanished.
"Earthquake!!"
Bloody lightning diffused from his blade. Whitebeard leaped up, holding the sword with both hands, and swung it down with all his might!
"Hahahaha, well met, you take this sword strike of mine too!"
Nox also charged madly towards Whitebeard from the other side. Five powers: Sword Intent, Busoshoku Haki, Kenbunshoku Haki, ultrasonic waves, and blood power, were perfectly fused onto the Seven Star Sword body.
Looking from afar, the Seven Star Sword was like a bloody lightning abyss. Even just a glance gave one a suffocating feeling of falling into an endless lightning abyss and being unable to extricate oneself.
"Three Elements Combined Mystery · Overlord Wrapped · Blood Moon Soaring!"
As Nox unleashed a sword strike, the Seven Star Sword sliced through the sky, like a bloody full moon descending upon the world.
As a great sword and a long sword collided, the two most top-tier powers in the World also collided at that instant.
In an instant, the world lost its color, silent, as if time in the entire world had stopped at this moment.
The next moment, the collision of the ultimate power on the sword and the sword caused them not to touch each other.
Instead, the collision of the two ultimate powers underwent a drastic change, forming a black hollow sphere in the middle, which vibrated wildly as the two forces were constantly squeezed.
It was like a black hole, swallowing even the surrounding sunlight.
The next moment, the overwhelming collision aftershocks rushed in all directions, instantly leveling everything within a few thousand meters, even sinking dozens of meters. The entire island began to shake violently.
Violent air currents swept across the entire island, and the air waves even rushed out of the island, creating sea waves over thirty meters high that surged in all directions.
The surrounding ships that were close by were directly pushed away, and the unlucky ones were instantly shattered, with the people on board also perishing in the Sea as a result.
"Heaven, the sky actually cracked!!"
Doflamingo watched this scene, instantly dumbfounded, his eyes fixed on the cracked clouds in the sky.
He had never imagined that the sky could be cut open by the battle of two people. This was simply refreshing his understanding of the World's top powerhouses!
Looking at the shaking island, he knew that what Marcus had said before, that a top powerhouse could destroy an island with a single sword strike, was not meant to scare them, but was something that would truly happen.
Just the aftershocks of their clash could cause the island to shake to this extent. If the attack were aimed at the island, it is very likely that this island would be destroyed as a result!
"Tsk tsk, I always hear these old-fashioned remarks. Can't you newcomers come up with a different phrase to express your shock?"
Marcus listened to many people around him, like Doflamingo, saying things like "the sky cracked," and couldn't help but feel a little speechless.
He didn't know how many times he had heard such words. Although the phrase "the sky cracked" fit the scene well, after hearing it too many times, Marcus found it very boring. But these people said it every time, which made him very speechless!
Nox and Whitebeard both gritted their teeth and pressed against each other with all their might!
"Life Return · Limb Normal Enhancement!"
After a moment of stalemate, Nox's limb muscles bulged. With a full burst of power, he broke the balance, shattering the barrier between their sword and sword with a single strike, and forcefully repelled Whitebeard over a hundred meters!
"Hahahaha, Whitebeard, you're not capable!!"
Nox burst out laughing, fully circulating the Sword God Body Tempering Art to eliminate the damage to his body caused by the vibration power transmitted from the Seven Star Sword. Then, he lifted the Seven Star Sword and charged again.
"gura rara rara, Nox, I was able to defeat you back then, and I can defeat you this time too!"
After being repelled over a hundred meters, Whitebeard quickly stabilized his body with his feet and the long handle of Murakumogiri. He also used Life Return to heal his injured hands while charging towards Nox again.
"Back then was back then, now is now!"
"Back when I was on Rocks's ship, I was indeed not as good as you, Whitebeard, but now I have surpassed you, Whitebeard!!"
As the Seven Star Sword and Murakumogiri collided again, bloody lightning spread wantonly. After another moment of stalemate, Whitebeard was repelled over a hundred meters by Nox's sword strike.
"gura rara rara, wanting to surpass me is not something you can just say with your mouth!!"
As Whitebeard was repelled by Nox again, although he was putting on a brave face, he was secretly shocked in his heart.
He hadn't expected Nox's strength to be so great. In a direct collision, his power was even stronger than his own Whitebeard's!
One must know that he was born with incredibly strong power, and coupled with the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, since he set sail, except for Rocks, he had hardly encountered anyone who could suppress him.
After two collisions, Whitebeard could clearly feel that Nox's power was not weaker than his, his Busoshoku Haki and Haoshoku Haki were stronger than his, and with the addition of the three types of Sword Intent and that invisible power, each attack carried an unmatched force that could suppress him at his normal full strength!
If he didn't have the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit enhancing him, he probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a few rounds against Nox before being defeated.
No wonder Nox could defeat Roger and Garp!
"Hahahaha, Whitebeard, you're right. This time, I will completely defeat you with the sword in my hand!!"
"Three Elements Combined Mystery · Overlord Wrapped · Blood Dragon Severing Sky Slash!"
A blood dragon coiled around the sword body, making the Seven Star Sword look like the legendary Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword. Bloody lightning burst out from the sword body without restraint.
As Nox unleashed a sword strike, the bloody slash merged with the blood dragon, turning into a thousand-meter-long blood dragon that slashed towards Whitebeard. Whitebeard was as insignificant as an ant before this blood dragon!
"gura rara rara, if you have the ability, come and defeat me!!"
"Air Quake!!"
Whitebeard looked at the thousand-meter blood dragon charging towards him, fearlessly raising the Murakumogiri in his hand. Haki and the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit converged on the blade. Holding the handle, he leaped up and swung with all his might at the head of the thousand-meter blood dragon!
Under Whitebeard's full-strength strike, the thousand-meter blood dragon's entire interior vibrated violently, and its body shattered like glass shards.
However, at the moment the blood dragon was about to collapse, it still rushed towards Whitebeard without hesitation.
"Vibration True Body!"
Whitebeard hadn't expected that his full-strength strike wouldn't completely destroy the blood dragon. Unable to dodge, he spread the vibration power throughout his body, turning it into an invisible armor to protect himself.
Immediately, Whitebeard was hit head-on by the tattered and fragmented blood dragon.
This violent collision knocked Whitebeard from the air down to the ground, and also caused Whitebeard's entire body to suffer the blood dragon's final blow before it shattered.
"Cough cough!!!"
Whitebeard immediately stood up after landing. At this moment, although his body seemed to have suffered no visible injuries.
The final impact of the blood dragon and his own vibration power canceled each other out, causing him to suffer a backlash from his own vibration power, injuring him internally.
However, for Whitebeard, who had learned Life Return, this injury was not serious and he could heal it himself!
"Hahahaha, Whitebeard, again!"
Just as Whitebeard landed, Nox charged up with his sword again.
The two engaged in another fierce battle.
Even through the Seven Star Sword, Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit power could cause severe vibration damage to Nox's body, but this damage was negated by Nox's body's passive self-healing ability and the active healing of the Sword God Body Tempering Art.
However, the blood-sucking power of Nox's Seven Star Sword was countered by Whitebeard's Murakumogiri. Whitebeard knew about the Seven Star Sword's blood-sucking power, so he blocked the Seven Star Sword with Murakumogiri from beginning to end, not letting the Seven Star Sword cut him.
However, this was not a problem for Nox at all. If he really wanted to cut Whitebeard, he could do so at a cost.
But he didn't do that. He wanted to defeat Whitebeard fair and square, from the front!
And just as Nox expected, in the battle above, although Whitebeard's power combined with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was very strong, he was suppressed by Nox throughout the entire process. Every collision was Nox repelling Whitebeard with absolute power.
