Chapter 92: Clashing with a Monster
***
<Awakening: Emperor Form>
I slowly started changing, and my physical form buffed like a balloon at first. Then strangely the muscles settled down and left me at about twice Whitebeard's size. The bones on the top of my head also appeared like they were arranged into a crown.
Akainu glanced at me through the corner of his eye and nodded. While the man could be a little steered by emotion sometimes, he still understood what to do at this time.
Whitebeard clutched his fist and got prepared for another fight. "You sure you wanna push me brat?"
Of course, unlike some people, I don't go into a fight without it having a high possibility of victory. Though occasionally plans don't translate well into a real battle, I still had some idea just where Whitebeard was strength-wise.
The top of his halberd was enveloped by a white translucent bubble that at first shook as if it was about to pop but then settled down. Whitebeard grinned in confidence and swung down his weapon, by now I was close enough to be within its range.
Infusing my fist with Haki, I understood that the only way I could show my power was to clash with this monster.
*CRACK!*
My fist and his halberd clashed, though our attacks didn't touch at all. The people that were around us were shot off by the power of our skirmish. His ship trembled too, but during all of this Whitebeard wasn't tugged back at all.
Though the same could be said about me. While Whitebeard had an overwhelming fruit, in this form I also had overpowering physical strength. I was confident in taking some of his hits.
We both took a step behind after our clash and got ready to strike again. I also crooked back my fist and got ready to attack.
*CRACK!*
The air cracked in front of me and the shockwave was about to hit.
<Soru>
Fwish!
In an instant I was behind Whitebeard, his back was left exposed. Gathering all of my strength and imbuing Haki on my fist, a devastating blow land on Whitebeard's unprotected back.
I feel a couple of his ribs break under my punch, and this caused the old man to fall on his knees. Whitebeard dropped his weapon, clattering on the ground as he had to use his hands to hold himself from having his face smash into the floor.
Whitebeard never had an injury on his back, he never ran away from a fight, so what? That only showed me that he wasn't used to taking hits there, and I just went all out in that one. Though it hadn't crushed his lung as I had intended, the attack still injured him exponentially.
As I got closer he swung his fist backward in an instant trying to hit me. But by now I could see a glimpse of the future and sidestepped his attack, standing behind the large crack he created in the air.
The arm that he had extended was left there like another opening. So I punched once again with all my might, Haki spewed out like a waterfall and Whitebeard's arm made some nasty crunching sound as it deformed in an unnatural angle.
That arm was no longer usable for the rest of the war. I wasn't going easy on the old man and had thought of countless strategies on how to dodge his attacks. They weren't easy to dodge either, since each attack spread out like a shockwave and would hit everything in that direction it was shot at.
Ironically, the best way to dodge Whiteboard's attacks was to be close to him, where he was the most dangerous. If one was fast enough to slip past his attacks and appear behind them, then they could be dodged.
Suddenly, Whitebeard extended his other hand and caught my ankle in his grasp. "Brats nowadays can all see the future. That's annoying."
He guessed that I had Future Sight so quickly? Well, it was expected from someone as experienced as me. But suddenly I got a vision of the future and in an instant tried to use my claws to cut off the man's arm.
Clang!
He used Armament in his arm too and slowly got up again, looking me straight in the eyes with an angry look. "Go die, brat."
A white bubble surrounded me, Whitebeard still had a grasp on me. By then I knew that it was too late, he was using a variation of the same technique he used to engulf his weapon with his quake power. Instead, this time he was using my body.
*CRACK!*
By the time the attack came, I had covered myself with Armament Haki, turning my brown fur dark.
I wasn't sure this even helped as the attack hit me. It was something that someone like Big Mom would never be able to replicate. The power slamming my body was like being in the midst of the composition of an earthquake.
My body was being shredded apart, muscles were ripped, bones snapped, and my flesh was beaten.
Even once the attack was over, I staggered slightly and fell on my knees. I didn't have the power to jump back and dodge the next attack. Whitebeard smashed me in the face with all the strength he could muster.
*CRACK!*
It felt like my head was going to explode and it probably would have if I didn't have my Devil Fruit. I could feel my head morphing due to the strong power of the attack.
Once again, Whitebeard pulled back his fist and got ready for another punch.
*CRACK!*
Once again, he slammed me straight in the face.
But by now I had gotten used to the feeling of these attacks and yanked Whitebeard by the wrist. He seemed surprised by it, I gave one claw mark on his chest, making sure that it would scar. That was when I saw the old man gather his Quake Power on his foot.
I instantly let go of him and jumped back. By now my body had suffered heavy trauma, something that I wouldn't be able to recover from during the war. But, by now I had gotten what I wanted.
"Well, this was a learning experience," I murmured to Whitebeard before jumping off his ship. Landing on the ground, I tugged his ship with one hand, and with a casual throw, I flipped it over like it was a toy.
BOOOOOOM!!!
As the ship crashed, many people within it died. This was Whitebeard's ship, so doing something like this was the same as spitting on his face.
Whitebeard had jumped out and survived of course, but now he wouldn't be able to stand up there like he was in his mighty throne. I had bloodied the Yonko well, and only my attacks had shown any outward injury. The burns Akainu had inflicted in the old man's arms weren't that visible.
Now I had established myself as someone who could fight against a Yonko.
____
-Raynare POV-
Seeing Max fighting against Whitebeard was startling. Especially since the Yonko wasn't in an old and susceptible form. Ain had been tasked with shooting one of her beams at the old guy, turning him over a decade younger physically.
Essentially Max was battling someone who was in his prime. Though Whitebeard's Haki might not be what it once was even with Ain's help, he still was strong as hell. Even Aokiji, an Admiral, had quickly fallen against the old man.
It was scary just how fast Whitebeard adapted to Max's fighting style and countered his Future Sight. How many fights had the old Yonko been in? Thousands? Tens of thousands?
That by itself showed just how scary he could be. I couldn't imagine ever reaching a level where I could even survive one of those hits.
Fwish!
Suddenly I sensed an attack coming at me and crouched down. I saw a white pearl-like leg attempt to hit me. The owner of it was a woman that was said to be the most beautiful in the world.
"Boa Hancock," I muttered. "Why are you attacking me?"
"Why? Do I need a reason to attack you?" The Pirate Empress inquired, leaning backward while pointing at me. "Know your place!"
Flying back, I got a good glance at her and chuckled. "You look stupid like that. I guess you fit the stereotype, big-breasted but dumb."
That enraged the Shichibukai, just like I had intended. Max always said that if we fought an enemy we weren't sure we would win, then try to anger them. It would always make the fight easier.
Hancock sent a flurry of kicks my way. She was fast and with the help of her snake, her movements were restrictive to me too.
One of her kicks clipped my wing slightly and started turning those feathers into stone. In an instant I made those feathers fall so as not to turn the rest of my wing into stone. From what I knew, her power worked on those that found her attractive, I didn't, that was something I could say with 100% certainty.
But… Hancock can use attacks that turned a part hit by her into stone no matter where they found her attractive or not.
"You are quite beautiful." Hancock praised me. "But you are still nothing compared to me!"
Fwish!
Suddenly, a shadow covered both of us, I looked up and saw Max in his Emperor Form right behind Boa Hancock.
Baaam!
His punch rains down on the most beautiful woman in the world and plummets her on the ground.
Yeah… Max never was someone who cared whether his opponent was a kid or woman. Don't know why I thought Hancock would be any different.
"The plan has shifted," he growled. "I am going after the targets now. Cover my back."

A/N: Whitebeard's fruit is overwhelmingly strong, and he isn't quite that old now due to Ain. But the old man is still very skilled, remember when he fought against Blackbeard who could cancel out his Devil Fruit? Yeah, in an instant he had made a plan of attack and made it seem like he threw his halberd up. Only later having it land perfectly where he wanted it to and attack Blackbeard. So his fruit isn't all there is to him, because Whitebeard also had a very good strategic mind. Though that is overshadowed by his raw power most of the time.

HolyJoker P.S: No, Max doesn't care if he has to hit a beautiful woman. In his eyes an enemy is an enemy, even if they were a kid or a man who could barely walk.
