章 13: Whitebeard vs Bullet
"Let's see if you can surpass me!"Whitebeardvs Bullet
Bullet shouted, his arm covered in Armament Haki delivering a powerful blow to Whitebeard.
Their clash created a series of sonic booms, and the impact on the air was tremendous. Despite such a formidable attack, Whitebeard made no attempt to evade it, and even his own Devil Fruit ability, the Shock Shock Fruit, remained dormant.
Both fighters had their arms enveloped in Armament Haki as their fists collided. The shockwaves from their clash rippled outward, causing the ground beneath them to shatter.
"Goo la la la~"
"Bullet, you're challenging me, but you've got a long way to go!"
Whitebeard chuckled lowly. He spread his entire arm with Armament Haki, intensifying the force behind his counterattack.
Boom!
Bullet, caught off guard, was pushed back several steps in quick succession. His feet pounded against the ground as he struggled to regain his balance.
Despite his initial setback, Bullet didn't falter; instead, he grew even more excited. He sensed the familiar pressure that he had experienced when facing Gol D. Roger, and this thrill fueled his determination.
"Once more!"
With another resounding roar, Bullet charged forward, his body propelled by Armament Haki-infused fists. He swung both fists with tremendous force.
Whitebeard faced this attack without utilizing his Devil Fruit power either. He relied solely on Armament Haki, matching Bullet's approach.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Their fists collided once more, generating shockwaves that reverberated through the area, causing the cell doors to shake and rattle.
"Monsters, they're all monsters!"
Crescent Hunter Daifugo wiped cold sweat from his forehead. He had previously thought that the Level 6 prisoners were already exceptionally powerful, but witnessing this battle made him realize the vast gap between his strength and their true potential.
"That's for sure!"
Crocodile sneered. "Old Whitebeard is renowned as the strongest man in the world, and Bullet is an absolute monster in his own right!"
"Monster?"
"However, Whitebeard won't be an easy opponent!"
Ryder remarked, his lips curling into a faint smile. He might not know the precise extent of Bullet's strength, but he understood that, if Whitebeard were still at his peak, it wouldn't matter how formidable Bullet was; he wouldn't be able to best Whitebeard.
"Pops's going to win for sure!"
Jinbei affirmed with determination. He wasn't just blindly expressing faith in Whitebeard; rather, it was based on the acknowledgment that Whitebeard was widely known as the world's strongest.
"It's fortunate that I didn't oppose Whitebeard back then!"
Shiryu of the Rain wiped the sweat from his brow. He couldn't help but feel relieved by the wise choice he had made, refusing to confront Whitebeard on Magellan's orders. Otherwise, he might have met his demise at Whitebeard's hands.
Boom!
While the onlookers discussed the situation, the fierce battle continued. Whitebeard's powerful punches, driven by his peak strength, put even Bullet, who was nearly at the level of One Piece, at a disadvantage. Following Whitebeard's assault, Bullet was pushed back.
"This spectacle should come to an end!"
Whitebeard proclaimed as he sent Bullet reeling with a powerful punch. He then raised his right fist high into the air.
Boom!
The air split asunder, and a powerful shockwave struck Bullet before he could defend himself with Armament Haki. His robust body collided with the iron railing of the prison door and then slid down.
"It's not over yet!" Bullet shouted as he quickly got to his feet.
He felt a mixture of excitement and anger. The excitement stemmed from encountering a master of such caliber, worth striving to surpass. The anger arose from his inability to match Whitebeard's strength.
With another roar, Bullet rushed forward, launching an air-shattering attack with his iron-fisted Armament Haki.
"Bullet, you're not my match!" Whitebeard's voice remained steady.
Despite Bullet's claims of strength comparable to that of the Emperors, this was mainly due to his abilities granted by the combined fruit. Without the ability to use his fruit, his inherent power fell short of Emperor-level strength.
With swift agility, Whitebeard sidestepped the attack and countered with a powerful downward strike from his raised fists.
Boom!
The air ruptured, and a tremendous shockwave erupted. Cracks spread across Bullet's body as he was struck down to the ground, causing the earth to shatter upon impact.
Bullet received the blow, and his robust frame quivered. Blood sprayed from his mouth, followed by a scream. He attempted to rise but struggled to do so immediately.
With just a single punch, Whitebeard had demonstrated his immense power and dominance.
"You lose," Whitebeard declared, looking down at Bullet with a dismissive glance. Seeing Bullet's dissatisfied expression, he shook his head and added, "Whether you accept it or not, this battle is over. I have important matters to attend to. If you wish to challenge me again, we can do so after this matter is resolved."
Bullet, enduring the pain coursing through his body, eventually stood up and panted heavily. However, he had no intention of continuing the battle, recognizing the limitations of the small prison cell that restricted his ability usage.
Instead, he decided to postpone the challenge until he could face Whitebeard under more favorable conditions outside the prison. If he still lost, he was prepared to accept any consequences, even becoming Whitebeard's "son."
"If you intend to challenge me again, keep up," Whitebeard said before turning away with his group.
As they moved through the long prison corridor toward the exit leading to the fifth floor of the freezing prison, the sound of approaching footsteps reached their ears.
"Father, someone is coming," Jinbei whispered.
Whitebeard nodded and looked ahead, spotting several figures running toward them with a mix of anxiety and excitement in their voices.
"Ace, I'm here to save you!!!" one of them yelled as they approached.
