Feeling an indescribable power emanating from the sword, Yi Shuihan almost lost his grip on the wooden sword and dropped it.

The power of the shockwave traveled through the sword, reached my hand, and then entered my body, as if my entire body had been attacked.

"It's already reached the point where it's affecting my internal organs. If I weren't physically strong, this attack would definitely have caused me internal injuries!"

One strike followed by another, Whitebeard fully demonstrated what it meant to go berserk, like a berserker. Especially since he was a giant, he had a huge advantage in strength. With the amplification of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, his attack power completely reached the peak of Black Iron 8-star.

If they unleash their ultimate move, it'll probably be the attack power of a Black Iron 9-star! That's terrifying!

Yi Shuihan was shocked by Whitebeard's strength, and Whitebeard was also shocked by Yi Shuihan's domineering aura. Although it was different from ordinary domineering aura, he would not mistake it for domineering aura.

"It's even stronger than that old man Garp's Haki. These young people are getting more and more terrifying."

Suddenly, he raised the knife in his hand, and a groan came from his muscles as his upper body visibly swelled up several inches.

This is bad, they're about to unleash a powerful attack!

Will I let you succeed?

"Too late!" The white-bearded man looked at Yi Shuihan, who was trying to stop him, and a smile flashed in his eyes. "Air tremor."

With power and speed far exceeding what he had used before, he unleashed a punch.

The wooden sword stopped 10 centimeters from the white-bearded fist, unable to advance any further.

Even though there's only a 10-centimeter distance, it feels like two parallel lines in the world, never to intersect again.

"click"

Like the sound of shattering glass, a spatial rift appeared in the space around Whitebeard's fist, as if the space itself had broken apart.

The cracks continued to spread, and in the blink of an eye, dense black lines appeared, which looked shocking.

"boom"

The powerful shockwave sent Yi Shuihan flying backward, his entire body hurtling out at such a speed that only a blur could be seen.

With a "bang," Yi Shuihan's body crashed directly into the light shield, finally stopping.

"As expected of Dad, his strength is the strongest in the world!" The captains exclaimed in amazement as they looked at the arena, which looked as if it had been ravaged by a tornado.

"Is this Whitebeard?" Even the succubus was stunned by this power that transcended human limitations.

While Logia-type Devil Fruit users are capable of creating grander scenes, such as Aokiji's Ice World and Akainu's Volcanic Eruption, they still seem to fall short compared to Whitebeard.

The power of the shockwave shattered the very space around it. While other Logia-type Devil Fruits represent natural disasters, Whitebeard's power evokes images of world destruction—a shockwave so powerful it could destroy the world.

"Kurarara, I accidentally used a little too much force. Hey, are you alright?" Whitebeard's hearty laughter rang out.

Yi Shuihan's clothes were torn and somewhat disheveled, but his aura did not weaken.

"I managed to defend against it after all. It really gave me a fright!" My body is still a little sore, but it doesn't affect my fighting ability.

With a flick of his wrist, the sword vanished from his hand, and his eyes became more serious than ever before.

"I have a bad feeling!" The white-bearded man suddenly had this thought for no reason when he saw Yi Shuihan.

The next moment, Whitebeard's premonition came true. His body trembled, and he almost fell down because he was caught off guard.

"What is this?" Whitebeard looked at his hands. "It feels like my body has suddenly become ten times heavier."

At this moment, Yi Shuihan's perfected natural domineering aura was finally fully unleashed. When the natural domineering aura was at its perfected state, a characteristic was generated: when he fully activated his domineering aura, a gravity field would appear in an area centered on him.

When we first broke through, the gravity was only 8 times stronger, but now it's 10 times stronger.

Of course, this gravity field has no effect on Yi Shuihan himself, otherwise its existence would be meaningless.

Even Whitebeard struggled against 10 times the gravity. While he wasn't completely unable to move, it was undeniable that performing the same movements as before would require significantly more stamina.

Chapter 146, The Monster's Defense

"I knew before that when Haki reaches a certain level, it will give rise to all sorts of abilities, such as Roger's ability to hear the voice of all things. Has your Haki reached that level? Is this ability gravity?" Whitebeard suddenly asked.

At this moment, the people in the audience area suddenly realized that something was wrong with Whitebeard's condition; it turned out that he was being subjected to gravity.

Gravity is a very common ability, but that doesn't mean it's weak. On the contrary, it's an extremely powerful ability, and it's multifaceted.

In combat, increasing gravity makes one less likely to be knocked down and stabilizes the body; decreasing gravity makes the body lighter, increases hang time, or even allows one to float; gravity can also change speed, increasing weight to accelerate or decreasing weight to decelerate when falling; in addition to these, there are various other applications.

Of course, Yi Shuihan could only increase Whitebeard's gravity by 10 times; he couldn't even change his own gravity.

Even so, ten times the gravity applied to Whitebeard's body—he was a giant, weighing about 500 kilograms, so ten times that would be 5000 kilograms, or 5 tons of force, equivalent to the weight of two or three small cars pressing down on him.

Whitebeard could sink an island with a single punch, but that was because he controlled the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which infinitely amplified his attack power.

The real power, at most, can only sink one ship.

Although the ship is certainly heavier than 5 tons, this also means that 5 tons is not a negligible weight.

In a battle between masters, a slight difference can lead to a huge disparity, and this difference was no small one. Therefore, Whitebeard's original advantage had now vanished.

The force of the attack did not decrease, but the speed was too slow, so slow that Yi Shuihan could easily dodge it.

He was breathing heavily. Under 10 times the gravity, the same battle was too exhausting. Even Whitebeard, who could fight for days and nights without batting an eye, was feeling physically tired.

We must act quickly; the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for me.

Having figured this out, Whitebeard immediately loosened his grip and abandoned his weapon.

While weapons can increase a person's attack power, some people are more effective when they are unarmed, and Whitebeard was clearly one of them.

As the greatsword vanished in a flash of light, the white-bearded man roared, the force of the shockwave spreading through the air, rippling outwards in concentric circles, much like the Lion's Roar.

Yi Shuihan's body paused for a moment, and in that instant, Whitebeard had already completed the accumulation of power.

The fist was enveloped in a nearly transparent white light shield, giving off an extremely dangerous feeling, as if it contained world-destroying power.

"Double-cracked"

With both fists thrown out simultaneously, the spatial rupture that had occurred before reappeared, only this time, it was faster and more powerful.

If the power of the previous airquake was 1, then this one is 10, or even stronger.

"Click"

Ignoring the spatial constraints, Yi Shuihan felt as if he were in a world composed of wind blades, with danger lurking everywhere.

"It's definitely the attack power of a Black Iron 9-star" was the first thought that popped into his mind, and then he instantly activated his burst attack.

Even so, Yi Shuihan was only barely able to hold on, and his body was once again forced to fly backward.

"Dad went all out. Aren't you afraid of killing that Yanlong guy?"

"That can't be true, can it?"

The hurricane raged for a full three minutes, shattering the entire dueling area with Whitebeard's attack. Fortunately, this was a gladiator arena; otherwise, outside, this attack would have been powerful enough to destroy the Marine Headquarters.

This is not the Whitebeard who was suffering from old illnesses and whose strength had declined during the Marineford War, but Whitebeard at his peak, whose strength was many times greater than at that time.

"Don't die!" The white-bearded man stared straight at Yi Shuihan's location. Only after launching the attack did he regret it. Why did he act so impulsively and recklessly?

At this moment, it seems that only the succubus is not worried about Yi Shuihan. Although Whitebeard's attack this time has startled her, even she herself believes that she would probably be in serious trouble if she didn't die from this move.

But the succubus could never have imagined that Yi Shuihan, who had countless trump cards and whose true strength was unknown, would be defeated.

"As expected." Seeing the guy who was in such a sorry state, with even a little blood at the corner of his mouth, the succubus felt a sense of relief for some reason.

Yi Shuihan did not look well at this moment. His upper garment was almost completely gone, and there were clear cuts as if he had been slashed by a knife. His hair was messy, and he looked like a beggar.

Upon seeing Yi Shuihan like this, everyone gasped in shock, not because of Yi Shuihan's current appearance, but because they realized that Yi Shuihan had not suffered any serious injuries under this attack that resembled a natural disaster.

They looked disheveled, but it was actually just some minor injuries. For strong individuals like them, it was equivalent to a normal person getting a small cut on their finger, about one centimeter long, and bleeding a little.

Whitebeard looked at Yi Shuihan and his lips twitched. "With this kind of defense, he wouldn't die even if the world were to end!"

He himself knew the power of the attack best; even he, with preparation, would have suffered at least broken bones and tendons under its force.

Originally, because of Yi Shuihan's miraculous performance, Whitebeard thought that if he went all out, the opponent would definitely not die, or at least suffer some serious injuries, such as breaking a few bones. But this is completely unexpected!

Even this kind of attack was dealt with so easily; Whitebeard couldn't imagine how he could possibly defeat his opponent.

Thinking of this, Whitebeard was suddenly astonished to find that if there were no other way, it seemed that Yi Shuihan would win and he would actually lose.

Losing to a junior? Whitebeard finds it completely unacceptable.

"That was close!" Yi Shuihan didn't know what the white-bearded man was thinking. At this moment, he was also a little surprised. Under the triple protection of violent energy, natural domineering energy and iron block, he was still injured. This attack power was unmatched.

Chapter 147, Winning and Losing

Although I haven't figured out how to defeat Yi Shuihan yet, admitting defeat is out of the question.

Whitebeard braced himself, preparing to face Yi Shuihan's counterattack.

But, the next moment

"Wait!" Yi Shuihan shouted.

"What? Are you going to surrender?" Whitebeard's tone was slightly relaxed, but deep down he knew that was impossible.

So what exactly does Yi Shuihan want to do?

"Give me one minute!"

After he finished speaking, Yi Shuihan's figure was enveloped in something resembling a fitting room, and then a rustling sound could be heard.

1 minutes later,

When Yi Shuihan reappeared before everyone, he was no longer in his previous disheveled state; he looked exactly the same as before the battle began.

She had changed her clothes, her hair was back to normal, and even the marks on her body had disappeared.

"What's going on? Why is his body sparkling?" the captain said unconsciously.

The reactions to Yi Shuihan varied, but the only thing they had in common was their admiration for his ability to make such a big difference in just one minute.

"My head may be severed, my blood may flow, but my hairstyle must not be messed up." Yi Shuihan uttered these words indifferently, giving people an inscrutable feeling.

Although I don't understand why, it just feels very impressive.

Among the crowd, the succubus reacted the most, her eyes sparkling with admiration. For women who love beauty, Yi Shuihan's move was nothing short of divine.

"Was the reason for stopping it before this?" Whitebeard felt like he was out of touch with the times and no longer knew what young people were pursuing these days.

"Alright, sorry to keep you waiting. Let's continue our unfinished battle!"

Now that he had activated his burst power, Yi Shuihan had no intention of turning it off. His strength had reached the Black Iron 9-star level, completely surpassing Whitebeard.

"So fast, more than twice as fast as before." In the white-bearded man's eyes, Yi Shuihan seemed like a completely different person. The speed that he could barely keep up with before was now completely beyond his reach.

Although her mind knew what to do and she could see Yi Shuihan, her body couldn't react in time. Her movements were delayed, and by the time she did it, it was too late.

If Whitebeard at this moment is the meat, then Yi Shuihan is an enhanced version of the assassin warrior meat.

Needless to say, Yi Shuihan is the only one who can beat Whitebeard. Even if Whitebeard wants to unleash a powerful attack, he can't because Yi Shuihan can interrupt the skill directly.

The battle didn't last long; in less than a minute, Whitebeard was completely defeated.

When Marco and the others saw their beloved father, the invincible white-bearded man, being utterly defeated by Yi Shuihan, their hearts were filled with complex emotions.

Dad's going to lose? How could Dad lose? You must be dreaming!

However, the facts did not change according to their will, after they said "I give up".

In the duel area, the word "winner" appeared above Yi Shuihan's head, while "loser" appeared above Whitebeard's head.

The small door opened again, and Marco and the others rushed like the wind to Whitebeard, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Dad, are you alright?"

"How is Dad?"

The concerned voices brought a relieved smile to Whitebeard's face. He was somewhat unable to accept that he had actually lost to Yi Shuihan, but he was still the Whitebeard who dreamed of having a large family. Being the strongest in the world was not his pursuit. Seeing the concerned faces of his sons, he felt relieved.

"Roger, you're right, our era has passed." Recalling past events in his mind, Whitebeard seemed to have come to a realization.

"Hmm?" Yi Shuihan suddenly felt that the white-bearded man seemed like a completely different person, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Whitebeard stood up, still looking like a towering hero, and said to Yi Shuihan, "You won, but I did not lose."

Yi Shuihan didn't understand what Whitebeard was saying at first, but when he saw the way Whitebeard looked at Marco and the others, he understood. He had won in terms of strength, but not in other aspects.

Strength and weakness can certainly be compared, but when it comes to a person's dreams, there is never a distinction between superior and inferior.

They left the arena and returned to the deck of the Moby Dick.

Recalling the scenes from before, everyone felt as if they were in a dream, and their eyes were somewhat dazed as they looked around.

"It really has no impact on this place at all."
