clang——!
The sound of blades clashing was heard again, but this time it was not the collision between the black sword, once ranked as the strongest, and the "Twelve Supreme Swords", but a golden sword made of liquefied golden flames, and the "Kurokumo-kiri" covered with the transparent white halo of the "Trembling Fruit".
This is not a duel between swordsmen, but a contest of abilities.
Different from the domineering waves produced by the previous collision of famous swords that tore through the sky, this contest of abilities did not have a grand scene, but even ordinary people could feel the deadly aura.
"It's so hot…"
The fully armed Whitebeard narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Dewey's "Remaining Sun Prison Robe" with golden flames dancing on it. His "Observation Haki" turned into a third eye, and he could clearly see waves formed by heat currents spreading out from Dewey's body.
Don't you see, the ground around the two of them, the golden flames have clearly disappeared, but the ground that was just burned into scorched earth by the golden flames is still emitting magma, and the area of magma is even getting larger and larger. The temperature here has risen to the point that even Whitebeard, who is covered in domineering aura, has an illusion of being extremely hot.
Whitebeard was even more clear that this was definitely not an illusion.
Because the "Kurokumo Kiri" in his hand also turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the big black hand holding the hilt emitted a burning heat. The heat that invaded "Kurokumo Kiri" through the air was not only trying to slowly melt this famous sword, one of the "Twelve Supreme Swords", into molten iron, but also wanted to penetrate the defense of "Armament Haki" and penetrate into Whitebeard's body to ignite him.
Without Haki, Whitebeard might not be able to fight this kid in close combat.
This kid's flame has become even more terrifying than the magma of that navy kid.
Thinking of this, Whitebeard increased his ability output, and his physical strength was converted into shock force, which flowed through his palm and the handle and onto the transparent white halo on the blade.
Snap——!
In an instant, the transparent white halo that was sometimes larger and sometimes smaller but could never break through the "Zanhi Tachi" suddenly expanded and shattered the atmosphere around "Kurokumo-kiri" and "Zanhi Tachi". Then, the incomparable shock force immediately shattered the magma ground under their feet and forced the two men back.
With the help of the shock wave, Whitebeard leaped back dozens of meters. Before his 6.6-meter body hit the ground, he held the "Kuromoku-Kiri" in both hands, with a layer of transparent white halo covering the blade, and chopped down at Dewey from a distance of hundreds of meters.
Snap——!
As the sound of the atmosphere shattering rang out again, a slash formed by the force of shock tore a dozens of meters wide and bottomless chasm on the magma ground, roaring towards Dewey.
The shock force that is difficult to capture with the naked eye but can be clearly seen by the "Observation Haki" contains the power to easily shatter the "Great Swordsman's Slash".
Even Dewey's "foreknowledge of the future" had already shown that if he did not dodge, the slashing blow formed by the shock force would spread to the forest behind the rocky mountain area and cut off a mountain standing in the forest.
Just as mentioned before, holding the "Kurokumo-Kiri", one of the "Twelve Crafts of Supreme Swords", it's not that Whitebeard can't make a slashing attack, but his "Trembling Fruit" has allowed him to master power that surpasses that of great swordsmen, so he doesn't need to make a so-called "slashing attack".
There is no doubt that both Dewey's "Ashes of Heaven and Earth" and Whitebeard's slash are the nemesis of the great swordsman.
Without the almighty domineering power, the swordsman would be completely powerless against them with just his slashing blows.
Therefore, Dewey, who had foreseen this scene, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and also raised the "Zanri Katana" in his hand, and swung "Ashes of Heaven and Earth" again towards the oncoming shockwave.
boom–!
Boom boom…
In an instant, a scene like a volcanic eruption immediately came into the eyes of the world.
I saw a flash of gold colliding with the shockwave covered by dust and fog, and then there was no grappling scene, it directly merged and seeped into the ground, completely blasting the earth that was already full of cracks and magma into pieces… Pieces of earth, big and small, were shattered by the shockwave force, and then swallowed by the extremely hot golden flames, and turned into magma in the blink of an eye. In the end, the collision of the two slashes actually created a huge magma column covered with the color of golden flames, rising into the sky.
At the same time, in contrast to the golden flames, the shock force that penetrated into the ground finally completely broke the rocky area that was first destroyed by the two most powerful superhuman systems and then invaded by the golden flames and shock force from the large island of "Loyanyu Desert". It shattered like a falling plate and slowly sank into the sea.
Swish—boom!
Dewey and Whitebeard's "Observation Haki" both predicted the sinking of the rocky area, so when it began to sink into the sea, they moved deeper into the island while fighting.
Realizing that he could not engage in close combat with Dewey, otherwise his energy consumption would be twice the normal amount, Whitebeard continued to use the power of his fruit, swinging towards Dewey with power that could crush the "great swordsman's" slash, and Dewey easily resisted it.
"You will definitely lose if you continue like this."
As if he had seen through Whitebeard's thoughts, Dewey said with a smile.
"Gulala… Brat, don't look down on the old man."
Whitebeard swung out another concussive slash and said with a big laugh.
At some point, he stopped calling himself "Laozi" and started addressing Dewey as "brat" with admiration.
"Next, it will be my final blow!"
Sensing Whitebeard's emotional change, Dewey did not drag on the battle with the advantage in his favor.
Even though he knew that if the war was protracted, he would definitely be the winner.
But just as he admired Whitebeard, Dewey disdained to win by exhausting his opponent's physical strength.
Therefore, when the two figures arrived at the center of the island in the "Loyanyu Desert", the golden flame with a temperature of 6,000 degrees Celsius surged out from Dewey's body like a dam bursting, and then did not form a column of light, but soared into the sky in the form of a tornado.
A huge fire tornado condensed into a flaming giant hundreds of meters high in the air. Dewey floated to the giant's forehead, turning a huge amount of physical strength into golden flames. He condensed a huge golden sword in the giant's hand, looked down at Whitebeard, and changed the way he addressed him, saying, "Old man, you must not die!"
"Gulala… Brat, I told you not to underestimate an old man."
Looking at the flaming giant that was taller than a mountain, Whitebeard once again thrust "Kurokumo-Kiri" into the ground, clenched his powerful fists, and grinned.
