One Piece: Almost Exposed That I Am Stronger Than Roger - Chapter 242
Chapter 242: You Guys, Let’s Go At It
“Swordsmanship surpassing even Mihawk Hawkeye. Not inferior to Whitebeard’s physical prowess. And… the advanced technique of combining Conqueror’s Haki in combat.”
Sengoku observed every move of Solo and couldn’t help but swallow nervously, his throat rolling.
For any of the three mentioned above, a person possessing them would be considered strong in this sea. If it were a pirate, it would become a supernova within a year and be invited by the World Government to serve as a Shichibukai.
However, Solo alone possesses all these abilities simultaneously. He has now obtained the most coveted treasure of Marineford, the Tremor Tremor Fruit.
“Swordsmanship, physical prowess, Conqueror’s Haki, and the strongest Paramecia Tremor Tremor Fruit.”
Sengoku couldn’t help but feel excited just thinking about it. Solo truly deserves to be the strongest man in this sea now. Not to mention the entire Blackbeard Pirates.
They probably can’t even be considered opponents against Solo, even if all the criminals from Impel Down Level 6 were brought together. This paramount war can already be declared over.
The greatest war of this century is destined to end in the Marine’s victory. At the same time, Solo eating the Tremor Tremor Fruit caused an uproar throughout the battlefield.
Ace, Marco, and all the others turned their attention toward him. Strong resentment flashed in their eyes.
“Father’s fruit, damn it!”
Ace clenched his teeth, wishing to eliminate Solo right there. However, his hands were firmly restrained by seastone, rendering him powerless.
Ace was well aware that if he turned back at this moment, many of his comrades would follow suit. That would render the sacrifice of Whitebeard completely in vain!
“Marine.”
Marco gritted his teeth, feeling the anguish in his heart. However, his remaining wisdom told him that now was not the time to act recklessly. Escaping from Marineford was their top priority.
Aokiji and Kizaru both took a deep breath simultaneously, finding the situation incredible.
“Solo, kid, be prepared from the beginning.” Aokiji fixed his gaze firmly on Solo.
He didn’t believe that Solo had simply lucked into obtaining Whitebeard’s Tremor Tremor Fruit right after his death. Knowing Solo’s character, he must have planned all this from the beginning. It was his intention to acquire the Tremor Tremor Fruit, and now he had indeed accomplished it.
“The current Solo’s strength should far surpass that of all Marine Admirals.”
Aokiji couldn’t help but complain, feeling that he was no longer Solo’s match. Kizaru shared the same sentiment.
“He really ate the Tremor Tremor Fruit. The power of Whitebeard. It’s terrifying.”
While the strength of a fruit’s ability is influenced by the user’s mastery, it was hard for Kizaru to imagine a scenario where Solo wouldn’t develop the fruit’s power. Moreover, Solo had just received a lesson from Whitebeard himself on how to use the Tremor Tremor Fruit’s abilities.
“Those pirates made the worst decision of their lives.”
Kizaru folded his hands together and showed no intention of intervening.
Although Marines were not allowed to attack Shichibukai, the moment Blackbeard committed a crime by freeing the criminals from Impel Down, he was no longer considered one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Furthermore, Blackbeard took the initiative to attack Solo. Now, even if Solo were to kill Blackbeard right there, the higher-ups in the World Government wouldn’t say anything.
Of course, Kizaru believed that Blackbeard would be dealt with directly on the spot. It’s not necessarily a bad thing.
“Marine!”
Doflamingo, in the distance, was even more grim, with veins bulging on his forehead. He had long coveted the Tremor Tremor Fruit’s power. If used properly, it might enable him to defeat Kaido.
However, just as he made up his mind to obtain the Tremor Tremor Fruit at all costs, the sudden appearance of the Blackbeard Pirates disrupted his plan. Not only that, but the dark water used by Blackbeard also disturbed his plan, causing him to miss the best opportunity to seize the Tremor Tremor Fruit.
As a result, Solo took matters into his own hands and consumed the Tremor Tremor Fruit, becoming a capable user. This was undoubtedly terrible news for Doflamingo!
“Damn it!”
However angry Doflamingo was, it was of no use. Because Solo, after eating the Tremor Tremor Fruitt, had become a full-fledged user of its powers, possessing the same abilities as Whitebeard.
If Doflamingo were to attack Solo at this moment, he would undoubtedly be the one to die in this pinnacle war. After assessing the power gap between himself and Solo, Doflamingo, reluctantly, had to abandon his insane idea.
At the same time, Vice Admiral Garp, known as the Marine Hero, also noticed this scene. In his eyes, Solo, the one who had consumed the Quake-Quake Fruit, was the embodiment of both Whitebeard and Roger, if not even stronger.
Perhaps the current Solo was far stronger than the combination of Roger and Whitebeard. Garp couldn’t help but sigh as he thought about it. The strongest Marine ever. Perhaps, he was truly born like this.
“After this pinnacle war, Solo will undoubtedly become the new Marine hero. Perhaps it’s time for me to retire peacefully and entrust the justice of the Marines to this young man,” Garp contemplated within himself.
If Solo became the second greatest hero of the war, no one in Marineford would dare to claim the top position. As for Blackbeard and the criminals behind him, Garp believed that Solo would handle the matter adequately. He wouldn’t let them escape!
In fact, Solo had the same plan in mind.
After consuming the Tremor Tremor Fruit, Solo discarded the remaining fruit and turned to face the entire Blackbeard Pirate Crew, gripping the Sakura wood tightly in one hand.
“You…Let’s go together.”
Solo stood confidently in the darkness emitted by Blackbeard, his expression calm as if there was nothing in the world that could threaten him.
The Blackbeard Pirates, upon hearing these words, stared at Solo with wide eyes, dumbfounded and unable to believe it.
How could this Marine in front of them be so self-assured?
Did he truly believe he was invincible just because he had eaten the Quake-Quake Fruit?
“Zehahaha
Blackbeard let out a wicked laugh. He had come to Marineford to fulfill his dream. He wouldn’t allow anyone to hinder him in any way!
“Marine, perish here for me!”
Blackbeard’s eyes turned red as he emanated a murderous intent. He was here to eliminate Solo.
“Well, I think the same,” Solo responded lightly upon seeing this.
