Momousagi was stunned. She had known that Whitebeard was powerful, but she hadn't anticipated his overwhelming strength. Even facing the combined attack of two Admirals and two Vice Admirals, Whitebeard didn't seem pressured at all and could counterattack effortlessly. This made her understand why he was called the strongest man in the world.
"Boys, if you've got any other trump cards, now's the time to use them all!" Whitebeard laughed calmly. His arrogance was evident.
"Don't you feel arrogant for easily countering the attack of the four of us?" Momousagi asked, taking a deep breath to steady herself. She was impressed by Whitebeard's calm demeanor, which only heightened her respect for his strength.
"Gion, are you okay?" Tokikake rushed over, full of concern for his Vice Admiral.
Momousagi frowned, trying to keep her composure amidst the intense situation. Whitebeard's calmness was disconcerting, and she knew they had to be cautious.
"Go all out, this time we must get rid of Whitebeard!" Akainu shouted, summoning a pillar of molten lava.
Whitebeard didn't evade the attack; instead, he raised his fist and delivered a heavy blow. The two attacks collided, causing a deafening explosion and filling the sky with smoke.
"Let's try the power of this new card!" Whitebeard said, producing a card from within the smoke.
[Haki Awakening: This card can improve one of the three Haki of the user, bringing it to an unprecedented peak]
Whitebeard had obtained this card after defeating Bullet, intending to use it later. However, now besieged, he decided to test its power immediately. As he squeezed the card, a warm current surged through his body, awakening his brain countless times and echoing a voice in his ear.
Amidst the chaos, Vice Admirals shouted orders while pirates screamed in panic. Explosions from cannonballs and Pacifista lasers filled the air.
Simultaneously, Akainu and his comrades' every move, even their breaths, were laid bare in Whitebeard's perception. His heightened senses allowed him to perceive every detail on the island. For instance, he detected the presence of CP0 lurking nearby and observed Byrnndi World and Jack the Drought teaming up to break through the Marines' encirclement.
Further, his keen senses pinpointed the familiar auras of Garp and Sengoku aboard a warship docked in the bay.
Whitebeard marveled at this unprecedented enhancement of his Observation Haki, a profound improvement that granted him unparalleled insight into the events unfolding around him.
"This unparalleled Observation Haki?!" Even Whitebeard's typically composed demeanor was shaken. This was no mere enhancement—it granted him omniscient awareness of the island's events.
With a gentle breeze clearing the smoke and dust, Momousagi charged toward Whitebeard, her katana poised for attack.
"Guurarara~" Whitebeard chuckled calmly, his heightened Observation Haki enabling him to anticipate her every move.
Reacting swiftly, he stepped back three paces and stood still, narrowly evading Momousagi's sword strike.
"What?!" Momousagi's eyes narrowed in bewilderment, puzzled by Whitebeard's precise evasion.
Frustrated, she swung her sword once more, aiming for a diagonal slash to sever Whitebeard's arm.
Yet, Whitebeard effortlessly sidestepped her attack, demonstrating his unmatched skill and mastery in combat.
Seeing this, Momousagi's face displayed even more shock. She struggled to believe it and continued to attack repeatedly. No matter how she struck, Whitebeard seemed to anticipate every move, foreseeing the future.
Faced with this uncanny ability, Momousagi launched one attack after another, yet Whitebeard effortlessly dodged each move.
"How can it be?!"
Momousagi couldn't help but yell out loudly in disbelief. The sense of absurdity hit her even more directly, and she stood frozen not far away, staring blankly at Whitebeard with eyes filled with disbelief.
She couldn't comprehend it; she really didn't understand. How did Whitebeard see through all her attacks? Each dodge appeared like a calculated move, avoiding with extreme precision.
His terrifying predictive ability left her in shock, feeling as if she'd been directly struck.
"Guurarara~"
"Your every move has been seen through by me."
Whitebeard laughed.
"What?!"
Momousagi trembled, recalling the amazement she felt moments ago. Confusion and awe appeared on her mature and beautiful face.
"Does he truly see my future, allowing him to predict my every move?"
Momousagi swiftly considered how Whitebeard achieved such a feat. Drawing from her years of experience, she focused on Observation Haki.
As Whitebeard possessed the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, it was impossible for him to see the future with this power. Since it wasn't a Devil Fruit ability, the only explanation was that Whitebeard could see the future using his Haki.
Exactly, among the three types of Haki, it seemed only Observation Haki had the ability to foresee the future, as Whitebeard demonstrated.
The realization that Whitebeard's Observation Haki had reached such a terrifying level left Momousagi in shock. Despite being an Admiral Candidate, she couldn't help but feel speechless with surprise, realizing her Observation Haki was nowhere near such a state.
In that moment, apart from the shock on her face, there was also a hint of awe as she witnessed the truly formidable strength of Whitebeard.
