Bab 80: Broadcasting the Battle
"Whitebeard!"
Amidst the stunned crowd, a thunderous roar reverberated through the sky.
Inside the battleship, Bullet seethed with rage. Despite employing all his abilities, he found himself unable to match Whitebeard's formidable strength, a fact that rankled him to no end.
With a resounding stomp, Bullet aimed to crush Whitebeard beneath his colossal feet.
Unperturbed, Whitebeard stood his ground, refusing to yield.
As the massive foot descended, Whitebeard raised his arm, muscles swelling with power as he delivered a mighty blow.
The sound of impact echoed, rippling through the air. The forceful punch shattered the atmosphere, leaving behind a trail of fissures and vibrations.
The shockwaves emanated outward, causing the island to convulse in chaos. The ground quaked as if stirred by the awakening of an earthbound dragon, while the cacophony resembled the thunderous charge of a stampeding horde.
Fear gripped the onlookers as they beheld the awe-inspiring spectacle.
"Quick, flee for your lives!"
"This battle surpasses any natural calamity! We must evacuate before we're caught in the crossfire!"
With panic driving them, the populace scattered in a desperate bid for safety.
"This confrontation rivals the mightiest of tempests!" remarked Donquixote Doflamingo, his brow dampened with sweat, as he and others hastily retreated, acknowledging the perilous nature of the clash.
Once the bystanders had cleared the area, the full force of Whitebeard's vibrational onslaught collided with Bullet's mechanical frame.
The colossal steel form recoiled under the onslaught, its surface marred by cracks.
"Curses!" bellowed Bullet, incredulous at Whitebeard's overwhelming might even against his own formidable abilities.
The conflict intensified, unleashing devastating power that rent the ground asunder and stirred tempestuous hurricanes.
"Hehehehe~" chuckled Buena Festa from his vantage point atop the island, reveling in the unfolding spectacle. With urgency, he contacted the proprietor of the Den-Den Mushi projection company, swiftly arranging for the broadcast of the battle across the festival island.
Meanwhile, at Sabaody Archipelago, tranquility reigned since Whitebeard's departure, until the serene atmosphere was shattered by the sudden illumination of a public square's massive screen.
Passersby halted in their tracks, drawn by curiosity to behold the live broadcast displayed upon it.
And there, on the screen, loomed a formidable figure—an imposing titan draped in a long coat, sporting a distinctive crescent-moon mustache. His fist cleaved through the air amidst a furious fray, unleashing a cataclysmic burst of energy that rent the very earth asunder.
Opposite him stood a towering black behemoth of steel, its futile attempts to withstand the onslaught evident in the cracks marring its surface.
As realization dawned, a collective gasp swept through the onlookers, their features contorted in horror.
For the figure projected before them was none other than Whitebeard!
"The one who emerged victorious in the Summit War of Marineford.
Feared and revered as the strongest force in the world!
Dread seeped into the minds of those who passed by.
"Whitebeard, it's him!"
"That man, more terrifying than any outlaw, locked in combat with another?"
"Where's the clash? Who dares challenge Whitebeard? How did this unfold so suddenly?"
"Is the island doomed? Whitebeard's wrath knows no bounds!"
A chorus of fearful cries echoed.
As terror spread, the intensity of the battle on the screen escalated, drawing more onlookers into its grip.
As the crowd swelled with newcomers witnessing the tumultuous spectacle, their reactions mirrored those before them—shock and trepidation hung heavy in the air.
They were paralyzed by fear!
As the image portrayed Whitebeard unleashing a devastating blow, the colossal robot cowered, emitting anguished cries.
"Whitebeard's locked in combat once more?"
Rayleigh observed from a corner, disbelief etched on his face. Just two months since parting ways with Whitebeard, and now this.
"Huh~"
"Don't you find his opponent familiar?"
Shakky, exhaling a lazy smoke ring, remarked casually.
"Indeed."
"Who else but Bullet could commandeer a battleship like that?"
"I never imagined him facing off against Whitebeard."
Rayleigh nodded knowingly. He and Bullet shared a past as crewmates, so upon glimpsing the robot, he recognized the adversary.
"But it seems your former crewmate is thoroughly outmatched,"
Shakky teased.
"Ah~"
"It's to be expected. With Whitebeard at his peak, Bullet's Clank-Clank Fruit won't tip the scales in his favor,"
Rayleigh replied nonchalantly, though a flicker of concern danced in his eyes.
Logically, the broadcast of Whitebeard and Bullet's battle should have been clandestine. Its public airing raised suspicions of conspiracy.
"This may just be the start. Sabaody Archipelago might not be the sole site of the broadcast."
Shakky noted Rayleigh's unease.
She was onto something.
Rayleigh's apprehension was justified.
The live transmission of the clash between Whitebeard and Bullet was indeed part of a larger scheme.
And it wasn't confined to Sabaody Archipelago alone.
From the archipelago to the New World, cities and islands alike broadcasted the showdown.
Initially bewildered, viewers soon recognized the combatants.
"How could it be Whitebeard?"
"Who could challenge the mightiest man in the world?"
"Though I know not the circumstances, witnessing such ferocity is a rare privilege!"
The world erupted in clamor as the live broadcast captivated audiences far and wide.
Whitebeard's indomitable strength on display reignited primal fears.
...….
On the Festival Island.
Whitebeard, locked in combat with Bullet, never anticipated his struggle to be broadcasted live.
Though ignorant of the broadcast's ramifications, one thing was certain.
After this unprecedented airing,
Whitebeard's legend would soar to unprecedented heights, cementing his status as an unparalleled force!
