Chapter 86
Whitebeard saw that Victor was already prepared for battle.
"Victor kid."
Whitebeard narrowed his eyes slightly, and a powerful wave of Conqueror's Haki erupted from his body. Murakumogiri was instantly wrapped in Haki, and dozens of red-black lightning bolts appeared in the surrounding sky.
Immediately after, Whitebeard punched the sky, causing violent earthquakes around the island.
"Ho ho, as expected of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit—its destructive power is truly terrifying."
Victor watched this scene and genuinely admired Whitebeard's strength. The Tremor-Tremor Fruit was indeed a disaster-level ability.
Marco and the others in the distance were startled by this sight. Were they going all out right from the start?
"Quick, keep retreating—stay far away from here. Don't get caught in the battle shockwaves."
Marco urgently ordered the pirate ships to move further away from this sea area.
But Victor, facing the super-destructive power of the earthquake, showed no panic at all—it seemed he didn't take it seriously.
He calmly raised his right hand and swung it toward the sky. In that instant, countless bolts of lightning appeared in the sky.
Immediately after, these lightning bolts struck the uplifted islands, massive waves, rocks, and everything else caused by the tremors. The enormous islands and rocks were instantly destroyed by the terrifying destructive power of the lightning; the giant waves were evaporated on contact.
As the lightning struck the sea, the fish in the upper layers of this area were instantly stunned or even killed by the electricity. At least it saved him the trouble of fishing—he could just collect them later.
"Whitebeard, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is impressive. It's really good for group battles." Victor said with a smile.
"Victor kid, as expected of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Its destructive power is astonishing."
Whitebeard had to admit the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit after seeing this scene.
"Then no more probing—come at me." Victor shouted loudly.
Immediately after, he turned into lightning and disappeared from the spot, instantly reappearing in front of Whitebeard.
Victor gripped his blade with both hands and swung down with mountain-crushing force toward Whitebeard.
"Guhahaha, bring it on then."
Whitebeard was already prepared. His two supreme-grade weapons collided once again.
The enormous destructive force once more ravaged the vegetation and terrain around the small island.
"Clang clang clang."
Whitebeard and Victor clashed more than a dozen times in an instant. Victor's blade wasn't just wrapped in Haki—it also carried terrifying black lightning.
Every collision caused massive thunder explosions, and the terrifying destructive power spread outward relentlessly.
Whitebeard, of course, gave no ground. He used the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to perfection. The Tremor-Tremor power on Murakumogiri continuously transferred through the blade to Polaris.
Indirect shockwaves constantly assaulted Victor. The power of tremors and lightning intertwined and clashed, their terrifying destructive force mercilessly attacking both of them.
External attacks didn't concern them—at this point, neither had suffered visible external injuries. The main damage came from internal forces: Haki and Tremor-Tremor power constantly caused internal destruction.
But Victor didn't care—his powerful physique could easily withstand such damage. Moreover, his body's extremely strong recovery wasn't a joke.
The moment he took damage, his body instantly repaired the internal injuries. This allowed Victor to maintain peak fighting condition at all times.
In contrast, Whitebeard's body was constantly taking impacts from Victor. The relentless destructive power of thunder, along with its paralyzing effects. The terrifying destructive force continuously damaged Whitebeard's body.
Not only that, the terrifying Haki impacts also caused internal damage. However, Whitebeard's monstrous physique could withstand these injuries without issue.
Victor's destructive power still wasn't enough to seriously injure Whitebeard. They probably wouldn't decide a winner for three days and three nights.
Meanwhile, Whitebeard's pirate subordinates in the distance were all stunned speechless.
"This battle is way too terrifying. In just this short time, the island has already been destroyed beyond recognition." "Victor's Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability is truly horrifying—this destructive power is unimaginable for a human." "It's so scary. Thank goodness we don't have to join a fight like this, or we'd already be dead under that terrifying lightning."
Whitebeard's pirates watched the terrifying battle scene from afar and felt lingering fear. Tremor-Tremor Fruit vs. Rumble-Rumble Fruit—this world-destroying power wasn't something ordinary pirates could withstand.
"The Rumble-Rumble Fruit truly ranks first among Logia types. In Victor's hands, it unleashes even more terrifying power."
Marco looked at the ruined battlefield and couldn't help but sigh.
At that moment, Whitebeard once again unleashed the full power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. A terrifying tsunami instantly formed, affecting the entire sea area where the Whitebeard Pirates were.
"Quick, keep retreating—get even farther away!"
Marco's expression changed, and he shouted again.
All the pirates now looked terrified. The helmsmen spun the wheels so fast they were practically smoking. In an instant, all the ships moved even farther from the battlefield.
Such a terrifying range was truly horrifying. The pirates who had barely escaped felt lingering fear.
"Phew, we're saved. That was really terrifying." "Who said otherwise? Dad's ability is truly monstrous." "But it also depends on who he's fighting. Victor's strength can't be underestimated—otherwise Dad wouldn't have gone all out."
These pirates couldn't help but marvel at the battle between Whitebeard and Victor—this apocalyptic power made them instinctively afraid.
While Whitebeard and Victor were fighting, Zephyr and Sengoku were also approaching the area. After they met up, they headed straight toward Whitebeard's territory.
At this moment, they could already feel the terrifying aftershocks of the battle. The towering tsunamis were undoubtedly caused by the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. The pitch-black sky and countless lightning strikes resembled a natural disaster.
"Hahaha, looks like Victor kid has already started fighting Whitebeard."
Garp looked at the apocalyptic scene in the distance and laughed heartily. He felt no fear—in fact, it sparked a bit of excitement.
Zephyr looked at Garp, who was eager to join, and helplessly shook his head.
"I really can't imagine it—this level of destructive power is enough to destroy all of Navy Headquarters."
Zephyr looked gravely at the distant scene.
