One Piece: Almost Exposed That I Am Stronger Than Roger - Chapter 233

Chapter 233: Power, Enough to Destroy the World

Following Solo’s roar, he swung his hand, and his blade engulfed in flames, released a tornado-like wall of fire that surged toward Whitebeard. This attack would not cease until its target was completely incinerated and reduced to ashes.

Solo’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he had already made up his mind. He was determined to defeat Whitebeard completely right here and to put an end to this ultimate battle!

The blazing wave surged into the sky like a sea, sweeping towards Whitebeard. An unprecedented heatwave spread throughout Marineford’s inner square. Even Admiral Akainu’s Meteor Volcano attack paled in comparison to Solo’s inferno.

Countless marines and pirates, even those far away from Solo’s attack, found themselves sweating profusely from their foreheads and backs.

“Wow, it’s scorching!”

“What kind of temperature is this?”

“Isn’t this guy not a Devil Fruit user? How does he possess such power?”

“I feel like Ace’s flames aren’t as intimidating as this guy’s.”

The pirates couldn’t help but discuss among themselves, a sense of foreboding creeping into their hearts. All eyes were fixed on Whitebeard.

They wondered if the old man could withstand Solo’s slash. He should have no problem, right?

But at this moment, they couldn’t be certain. Was there any hope for Whitebeard to defeat Solo? Because Solo’s performance was truly astonishing. Not a single flaw could be found in his movements.

On the other hand, Whitebeard remained calm, his face displaying no signs of panic. Facing Solo alone, he could sense the immense power behind the flames unleashed by Solo.

It was no exaggeration to say that the current Whitebeard didn’t possess much confidence in his ability to defeat Solo. But as the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, he had no way out.

Otherwise, the entire pirate crew would be wiped out by the Marines not just Ace but the entire pirate crew faced the risk of annihilation by the Marines.

“Brat!”

Whitebeard gritted his teeth, his eyelids twitching involuntarily. A sense of foreboding enveloped his heart. Murakumogiri, his trusted weapon for many years, shattered in Solo’s attack.

“Come on!”

Whitebeard slammed the ground, pivoting his right foot to the side and assuming a wide stance. Then, Whitebeard’s eyes became resolute.

“I am a remnant of the old era. In this era, there may not be a ship that can carry me. But I won’t easily lose to a brat from the Marine!”

In an instant, Whitebeard’s pupils dilated. He raised his hands high above his head, staring at the empty space before him, and clenched his five fingers tightly.

Soon, visible ripples emanated from the grasp of Whitebeard’s five fingers. It was a familiar sight. Suddenly, Sengoku on the execution platform became tense.

Even without Murakumogiri, Whitebeard was no ordinary swordsman. His true terror lay in possessing the mightiest Paramecia Devil Fruit power, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Among all the known Devil Fruit abilities in the Warlord era, it possessed the most destructive force. Perhaps none could compare as it could even easily destroy islands and cleave the seas.

Though Solo’s swordsmanship had left him shocked and amazed when compared to Whitebeard’s attack, which could rival natural disasters. In the mind of Sengoku, worries began to emerge. However, even Sengoku could only watch in amazement. There was no way to stop Whitebeard.
“Solo.”

“Father!”

Ace exclaimed.

But his concerns were entirely different.

“Ahhh!”

Whitebeard suddenly roared, his arm muscles bulging one after another. He appeared formidable. Whitebeard unleashed the full power of his Tremor-Tremor Fruit without reservation. He yanked downward forcefully.

This was the strongest attack he could muster at that moment. In an instant, the air in Marineford trembled violently, creating the most terrifying shockwave.

Merely witnessing Whitebeard’s display like this, every marine took a deep breath, their nerves were on edge. When Whitebeard first appeared, he summoned an immensely destructive tsunami, but thanks to Admiral Aokiji’s intervention, the crisis had been averted.

But this time, Whitebeard’s power shook the air itself. Even the fruit ability of Admiral Aokiji couldn’t easily halt it. What was even more terrifying was that the air shockwave spread in all directions.

The entirety of Marineford began to shake violently, unable to escape its influence. Numerous marine lost their balance and were thrown off their feet. The entire marine formation showed signs of disarray.

“This… Is this Whitebeard’s power?”

“What tremendous power…”

“A power capable of toppling the world.”

Even the Vice Admirals, who held esteemed positions at Marine Headquarters, were dumbfounded. They marveled at the power Whitebeard wielded, a power that exceeded their understanding. How could they possibly stop it?

Not even that monstrous, genius swordsman could be a match for Whitebeard. They even began to suspect that after witnessing Whitebeard’s overwhelmingly mighty power, even Solo might be taken aback.

However, when these Vice Admirals couldn’t help but glance at Solo. They discovered that in the face of the terrifying shockwave unleashed by Whitebeard.

Solo’s expression remained composed as if everything had gone according to plan. And indeed it had. After all, Solo was a traverser. His understanding of Whitebeard was no less than that of the Vice Admirals present.

On the contrary, if Whitebeard couldn’t unleash such power, Solo would truly be disappointed.

“I won’t be defeated in a test of strength.”

Solo stood firm, his eyes narrowed. He neither dodged nor avoided. He withstood the tremors caused by Whitebeard. Not only did it create shockwaves and earthquakes but these reverberations even spread to the surface of the sea.

The sea area near Marineford fractured into several pieces. In the face of such an event, everyone presents couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

However, the attack unleashed by Solo was no weaker than Whitebeard’s attack. No matter how one looked at it, the Zanpakuto in his hand was akin to raging fire. It was also the embodiment of sheer strength.

Rumble!

Amidst thunderous explosions, Solo’s sword collided fiercely with the shockwave caused by Whitebeard. For a moment, they were evenly matched. Each sought to overpower the other.

The shockwaves rippled out like waves. The marines and pirates engaged in battle had to temporarily separate. They had to find a way to protect themselves.
