Chapitre 20: 20
Grand Line, Naval Headquarters, Fleet Admiral's Office.
"Report! Fleet Admiral Sengoku" A member of the Marines immediately saluted Sengoku who was currently reviewing a document at the same time in the office there was Vice Admiral Garp casually eating his peanut crackers.
"We just received a report from our troops who were reconnaissance against Yonkou Whitebeard." The member said seriously, "A few minutes ago, on Yonkou Whitebeard's ship there was a fairly strong Conqueror's Haki clash and our reconnaissance team estimated that one of the Conqueror's Haki was Whitebeard's. Currently our reconnaissance team informs that the ship belonging to the Whitebeard pirates has made a voyage to an uninhabited island"
"Conqueror Haki Clash? Who clashed Conqueror's Haki with Whitebeard?" Sengoku asked while frowning.
"Our reconnaissance team estimates that the person who did this was someone who suddenly came from above the sky" The member replied and continued, "The reconnaissance team saw, before the Conqueror's Haki clashed. There was someone who came from above the sky who came down towards the ship belonging to the Yonkou Whitebeard. After that person got off the ship, a Conqueror Haki clash occurred"
"From above the sky?" Sengoku's face suddenly turned serious.
"Is it possible Shiki?" Garp continued back while asking with a gloomy face.
"That's not it, Kijishi No Shiki, Vice Admiral Garp." The Marine replied back.
"No?" Sengoku and Garp were shocked to hear this.
"Yes. That's not Kinjishi no Shiki. Our scouts reported that the person who came was not Kinjishi No Shiki but someone else." The Marine replied again, "We have tried to search for the person's personal data and tried to track him down. Is that person a fugitive? However, we did not find any evidence that he was a fugitive or a pirate."
"Not a fugitive?" Sengoku and Garp's faces were instantly shocked.
For someone who can compete with Conqueror's Haki with Whitebeard, it's certainly not a random person. That person must be someone very famous.
"Could it be that he was the person Whitebeard had just discovered?" Sengoku frowned and looked at the Marine, "What about that person's appearance?"
"Hi" The member said, "That person's appearance is still very young. He is probably under 25 years old. That person has long black hair, is wearing a rather strange red outfit."
"Under 25?!" Garp and Sengoku were again shocked by the information.
The one who could clash Conqueror's Haki with Whitebeard was someone who was still 25 years old. That is something very extraordinary. Although Whitebeard's current strength was not the pinnacle of his strength. However, it is still quite extraordinary for someone to be able to do that.
"There's a possibility that Whitebeard's goal is to go to that uninhabited island to do battle" Garp said seriously, "Sengoku, we can try to get the reconnaissance team to do a screen recording. We still don't know if that person is a pirate or not. We also don't know whether that person has joined Whitebeard or not. That person currently still has no stronghold at all. It would be great if we could attract that person to join the Navy. We will have someone less than 25 years of age with strength equal to that of an Admiral."
"I know" Sengoku nodded and looked at the Marines in front of him, "Tell the reconnaissance team to try to get closer to the battle site and try to record the upcoming battle. Then, send the den-den mushi to watch here as well as summon Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, and Tsuru to come here."
"Okay, Fleet Admiral Sengoku" The Marine immediately left the Fleet Admiral's office.
"If that person has the ability to fly. There is a possibility that Kinjishi No Shiki has died by this time" Sengoku said seriously.
"I have a hunch that what's happening right now isn't something easy." Garp said seriously, "Even though we know that Shiki's strength has been greatly reduced right now due to his missing legs and a driver stuck in his head. Shiki wasn't someone who died easily. That person would not have died unnoticed by us seeing his personality. If he's going to die, Shiki would rather die being killed by his enemy than dying of weakness."
Sengoku nodded.
New World, Uninhabited Island.
The ship belonging to Whitebeard's pirate group finally landed there. Whitebeard and Hasirama immediately descended there while Whitebeard turned to look at his children, "You don't come down here. Just watch over there."
Whitebeard himself already knew how much power Hashirama had. It was also why he didn't want Marko and the others to be hit by a direct hit when the battle took place.
Marko and the others nodded. Even though they could only watch from a distance. However, they were now very happy because Whitebeard was currently in the best condition.
"Hey, Hashirama. Don't cry when defeated by Oyaji" Ace shouted excitedly while looking at Hashirama.
"Hahaha… Impossible" Hashirama smiled, "Because I'm the one who will win this battle"
"Gurarara~ Big words" Whitebeard wasn't angry but just laughed excitedly. As someone who has a very strong power. It was rare to meet someone who could fight him on an equal footing.
"Let's go to the middle of the island, Whitebeard" Hashirama said, "This place is not suitable for us to fight"
Whitebeard nodded and the two immediately walked towards the center of the island.
"Hahahah… Oyaji will definitely beat Hashirama quickly" Ace said with a smile.
"I wouldn't say such a thing," Marko said in a serious tone as he looked ahead.
"What do you mean, Mark?" Ace asked in confusion.
"I agree with Marko, Ace" Joz also added, "Although I have confidence that Oyaji will win. However, I'm not sure this battle will go on quickly" Joz paused and continued, "Hashirama… He's really strong"
"Strong?" Ace asked in confusion.
"You don't know how strong he is because you haven't developed your Observation Haki, Ace" Vista added, "That guy's strength is very strong. Even… If I don't want to say it and admit it… That person's strength is more terrifying than Oyaji's."
"Oi, oi. Are you guys kidding? Hashirama's strength is more terrifying than Oyaji's? Impossible!" Ace said in a disapproving tone.
"Although I don't want to admit it either, Ace" Marko suddenly said with a gloomy face, "Hashirama's strength… His strength is above Oyaji's"
Ace was silent for a moment hearing this. Ace then looks at his friends who can use Observation Haki and asks about it. The answer that Ace got was almost the same as the answer that Marko and others gave him. This made Ace momentarily silent.
Uninhabited Island, Central Region.
Whitebeard and Hashirama finally arrived there. Both immediately took a distance of 23 meters 50 meters from their current position.
"Gurarara~ Hashirama, you don't need to hold back from fighting me. I can feel that terrifying power within you." Whitebeard immediately let go of everything he wanted to say earlier to Hashirama since the two of them were currently alone there.
"Are you sure?" Hashirama raised his brow, "I can't guarantee you will survive if I use all my strength"
"Nonsense! Are you looking down on me?! I'm Whitebeard!" Even though Whitebeard knew about it. However, Whitebeard did not want his opponent to be merciful to him.
"Okay. If that's your wish. I will grant it." Hashirama's previously calm and friendly gaze suddenly turned serious, "However, I will not guarantee it"
After the sentence is finished. An extremely terrifying pressure immediately descended on the island. The pressure immediately pressed Whitebeard's body which also made Whitebeard suddenly startled. It wasn't just Whitebeard who felt this pressure but Marko and the others could also feel it and right now the people with weaker powers were already lying on the ship in a cold sweat. Even Marko and the others are currently covered in sweat which is where the clothes they wear are discussed.
"This pressure..." Whitebeard's gaze became very serious as he stared at Hashirama. Because the pressure released by Hashirama directly suppressed his soul which affected his current fighting power which had been reduced to 90% of his total strength.
"This isn't Conqueror's Haki" Whitebeard said as he narrowed his eyes and looked at Hashirama, "This… This pressure… Is this spiritual energy?"
Simultaneously, Hashirama also unleashed his Conqueror Haki. Due to a request from Whitebeard. Hashirama didn't hold back his Conqueror's Haki power but released all of his Conqueror's Haki power which where Hahsirama's attack range of Conqueror Haki immediately covered the entire island and even further covered the sea area for 5 kilometers from the island.
Marko and the others who had previously been suppressed by Hashirama's spiritual pressure instantly fell unconscious upon receiving the Conqueror's Haki. It's not just them. The current Marine reconnaissance team had also fainted from Hashirama's terrifying Conqueror Haki.
"What a terrifying conqueror's haki…" Whitebeard exclaimed as he stared at Hashirama, "Its intensity… Stronger than the Akagami Boy's."
Whitebeard also immediately released his Conqueror's Haki even though his Conqueror's Haki was weaker than Hashirama's. The Conqueror Haki clash between the two reoccurred but the power released was stronger than before.
Grand Line, Naval Headquarters, Fleet Admiral's Office.
"What happened?!" Sengoku immediately shouted angrily when he saw the screen that previously showed the island where Shirojige and Hashirama were fighting now disappeared immediately.
"There is a possibility that all of our troops are currently unconscious" Garp said seriously, "They must have received a Conqueror's Haki attack."
"Conqueror's Haki?! I remember Whitebeard's Conqueror Haki power can't reach the distance that our Reconnaissance Team has" Tsuru said calmly, "Only Akagami can do that"
"If it wasn't Whitebeard that would mean…" Sengoku's eyes immediately widened, "Did that person do it?"
"That person? Is the person you are referring to the one who is fighting Whitebeard right now?" Aokiji asked while frowning.
Sengoku nodded, "If Whitebeard can't do that. Only he can do it. Currently none of Whitebeard's pirate group can use Conqueror's Haki like Whitebeard."
"This is a serious matter" Tsuru said seriously, "We don't know which side that person is in especially after the battle ended. Seeing Whitebeard's group of pirates who didn't come to the battlefield. This battle is not a life and death battle. It is likely that this battle is a friendly battle. There is a possibility that after this battle is over, that person will join Whitebeard's pirate group or if we are lucky. That person will be the same as before"
"This can't be left alone!" Akainu said angrily, "If that person doesn't join Whitebeard. We have to recruit him into the Navy! We can't let a person with such terrifying power roam around especially joining Whitebeard's pirate group"
"Yo, yo, yo. I also agree with this" Kizaru added his opinion, "We can't allow one pirate group to have two people of equal strength. It would be dangerous for our side."
"Sengoku" Tsuru suddenly said, "Send Momonga there. Currently Momonga is in charge of being the leader of the G-1. Let him go do some monitoring there. If possible, invite the person who is currently fighting Whitebeard to join the Navy if he doesn't join Whitebeard's pirate group."
Sengoku nodded and immediately did so.
New World, Uninhabited Island, Island Where Whitebeard and Hashirama Battled.
The clash between the two Conqueror Haki was quickly over. However, Whitebeard could still feel the pressure that was currently pressing against his body very strongly. Simultaneously, Whitebeard looked pointed at him and slowly a large blue ball formed in his hand then released towards Whitebeard which immediately formed a large and powerful attack.
"Danger!"
Whitebeard could sense the danger from the attack. Whitebeard immediately clenched his Nagita which was now covered in Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki and then slashed forward.
*BOOM!*
The clash between the two attacks instantly ensued. Whitebeard with all his might to withstand the attack so as not to attack him. With his strength, Whitebeard managed to cut off the attack released by Hashirama very easily while staring at Hashirama, "Gurarara~ A decent attack. However, it's still not enough!"
"I think so too" Hashirama smiled and said, "It was an attack that I just developed. Ok, I'll get serious now. Whitebeard, I hope you use all your strength. I don't want you to die accidentally due to the attack unleashed by me."
"Nonsense! Don't underestimate me, Hashirama! I am Whitebeard! How could I die just because of the toy attack you released" Whitebeard said angrily while looking at Hashirama.
"Okay. Then, let's get serious." Hashirama said turning his gaze into a battle gaze.
