Bab 329: 329. Old Guy, I’D Better Send You Down To See Whitebeard
Swoosh—!
After dealing with the projectiles, Atlas swiftly swung his hand, lifting the lengthy blade he held. With a forceful motion, he slashed the Groseade with a large, blood-red arc that cut through the sea.
The seawater retreated in succession, creating a sudden, narrow trench charging towards the world with an intense appearance!
This slash surpassed any previous ones from Atlas. The Haki surrounding it was opulent, blanketing the entire area seamlessly, reaching the pinnacle of armament Haki.
Despite the formidable power of Atlas' Haki, he still sensed a void around his waist. Fortunately, the Horse Talisman quickly replenished his energy.
His objective was clear – to cleave the Groseade in two!
"This is the first time I am witnessing a slash of this magnitude." Kyros's eyes gleamed.
As a swordsman emerging from the gladiatorial arena, every move is geared towards ending lives. However, it's undeniable that Atlas' swordsmanship goes beyond mere elegance; it's filled with an unending intent to kill.
Despite shadowing his opponent for an extended period, he had never witnessed Atlas unleash such an immense slash!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to deem it the finest slash in the world, would it?
Facing the colossal slash hurtling towards him, World couldn't conceal his surprise.
The sheer amount of Haki displayed...
Doesn't this guy have any weaknesses?
Taijutsu, swordsmanship, Haki, and even those peculiar abilities!
It's crucial to understand that human energy is finite, making it impossible to excel in multiple fields simultaneously.
Take him, for instance. Despite having muskets and long knives among his weapons, his most potent assets remain his fists. Other external objects merely serve as tools to complement the Devil Fruit powers.
Yet, based on the recent clash, the individual before me appears remarkably formidable in both physical prowess and swordsmanship!
"World..." Byojack observed World slowly descending from the turret with concern.
"...this wastes!"
World surveyed the destruction surrounding him, expressing disdain with a furrowed brow.
It appeared that no one could withstand the onslaught of the Thunder Kid.
Is this enough to earn the title of World's subordinate?
And... what became of Gairam?
Despite not being particularly strong, as the sole other Devil Fruit user on the ship, he met his demise before Sebastian!
"It seems to be that Hakuryu guy's ability... *cough, cough, cough*," Byojack speculated, eyeing the bloody wounds on Gairam's petite form.
"And where is Nightin?"
"Captain! I'm here!"
In the corner, Nightin, who had recently dashed out of the cabin, spoke up immediately, "Captain, what should we do now?"
"A slash of this magnitude would probably cleave the Groseade into two pieces, right?"
"Don't be hasty. Instruct the helmsman to shift the ship's direction at an angle first, and make sure not to harm the cannons!"
Despite Enel's recent sweep of the deck, the helmsman and navigator safely concealed in the bridge remained unaffected.
"You... brace yourselves!"
World sensed the ship's movement beneath his feet, pressed his hands against the deck, and shouted:
"More More Gojubai (More More Fiftyfold)!"
The already immensely colossal Groseade instantly expanded, surpassing even Atlas' Ryu-Sen.
Although the initially enormous slash appeared to shrink slightly, World persisted. Veins protruded on his neck as he shouted, "More More Hyakubai (More More Hundredfold)!"
"More More Hyakubai Soku (More More Hundredfold Speed)!"
In an instant, the colossal Groseade rapidly expanded once more, nearly engulfing the sky and the sun. Combined with its terrifying speed, it triggered a tsunami on the sea!
Swish!!
The slash swept through, barely nicking some sawdust at the ship's tail!
"..."
Atlas hadn't anticipated that this guy would willingly expend so much energy just to rescue the Groseade.
It's crucial to note that the enlargement of the More-More Fruit does not have infinite growth. Physical consumption is directly linked to the original size of the target. The Groseade itself is already massive, and a hundredfold increase poses a significant strain, even for World.
At this moment, the embarrassed Groseade, still in retreat, abruptly turned back and collided with Atlas!
"Be cautious! Admiral Hakuryu!"
Kyros and the others, who had just handled the artillery shell threat, witnessed this and hastily shouted.
Regrettably, it was too late.
Although Atlas hovered in mid-air, with the Groseade doubling its size a hundred times, it managed to encompass Atlas within the impact range.
"In that case..."
Atlas' eyes narrowed, and he sheathed the Kaminari. His expression grew serious, and the muscles all over his body involuntarily twitched and swelled.
"I want to see. Can my rabbit talisman plus the ox talisman still defeat you?"
As far as he comprehended, the More-More Fruit could only increase its size, with no alteration in its weight whatsoever.
Therefore, no matter how potent the attack from the Groseade, it was merely a façade!
Buzz—!
Suddenly, the scenario shifted. Black and red lightning enveloped the body, Haki becoming more concentrated, and a red sun-shaped pattern emerged on his chest.
An existence surpassing the Bushintai (Martial God Body), it intertwined with Conqueror's Haki while incorporating the armament color!
"Kid, you can't stop me!"
At the ship's bow, World, with his beard and hair tousled by the sea breeze, bellowed fiercely, undeterred even as the strong wind filled his lungs.
"Old guy! What nonsense are you spouting..."
Atlas's muscles bulged, a hazy white mist suddenly enveloped his entire body, his eyes took on a blood-red hue, and the power of fire and explosion ignited in his fist!
"I should send you to stay with Whitebeard!"
Upon treading the air, the surrounding space felt slightly distorted, and the passage of time around him seemed to slow down considerably.
"Magatsu Hikari (Calamity Light)!"
The figure, shrouded in white light, surged towards the massive Groseade.
The vast difference in body size created the illusion of an ant daring to challenge the gods.
Yet, it remained uncertain who played the role of god and who assumed that of the ant!
Rumble—!
A thunderous roar echoed, and the impact seemed to eclipse the light in the sky.
The entire world appeared to be left with nothing but an echo...
