"Looking at the charging angel, Whitebeard held his naginata horizontally, blocking the twin-winged angel's long sword, halting its advance, unable to move an inch.
At this moment, the twin-winged angel freed an arm, and a Holy Light Spear materialized in its hand.
Grimm's current ordinary skills could be imitated and released by the twin-winged angel.
"Be careful, Pops!" Whitebeard's crew immediately felt a sense of crisis and couldn't help but warn him.
"Judgment, Verdict!" the twin-winged angel solemnly uttered four words, and the spear whistled out.
Whitebeard's lips moved beneath his mustache. An astonishing aura erupted from his body, soaring straight into the clouds. The naginata in his hand unleashed immense power, directly forcing the twin-winged angel back, causing the angel's movements to falter. The Holy Light Spear grazed Whitebeard's shoulder.
It was Conqueror's Haki again.
Whitebeard thrust his naginata into a nearby red rock and twisted the air in front of him with both hands, as if tearing something apart.
"I am… Whitebeard!"
An aura of "I alone am honored in heaven and earth" was released. The destructive power annihilated and pulverized everything in front of Whitebeard. Under everyone's gaze, the space where Grimm and the two-winged angel were located began to shatter like glass. Only after a loud bang did they see Grimm, the angel, and over half of the island's area shattered like scattered building blocks.
Grimm's body was buried under the rubble, and countless broken stones rained down from the sky like a downpour.
No matter how many times, it was always this spectacular. The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, capable of destroying the world.
The members of the Whitebeard Pirates and the affiliated pirate crews on the Moby Dick couldn't help but cheer again.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…
Blood continuously flowed from the rubble. There seemed to be something strange inside, causing Marco and the others' faces to pale.
Suddenly, a humanoid creature radiating a solemn golden aura, composed entirely of golden light, burst from the ruins and soared into the sky.
"What is that?"
"What kind of ability is this…"
Gradually, the golden humanoid Holy Light floated higher and higher. Suddenly, a pair of pure white feathered wings grew behind him.
They knew this was Grimm himself.
[Divine Baptism: Wings of Faith]: A DNF Paladin's second awakening skill, and Grimm's most powerful move at present.
Upon activation, he immediately gains double strength and speed, and can coexist with [Wrath of the Berserker].
He can release it again with his will, causing a devastating Holy Light bombardment in a designated area.
He can store 1 hour of usage time every 24 hours.
At this moment, Grimm was under a double buff, his strength and speed more than triple that of his normal state.
"Young Pops, I admit you are the strongest enemy I have ever encountered. In terms of destructive power, not even Roger can compare to you!"
Grimm was telling the truth. Whitebeard's destructive power was definitely above Roger's, making him several tiers more threatening than Roger. Moreover, Roger lacked powerful AoE abilities.
The last time Roger and Grimm fought, it was merely a minor skirmish. Roger didn't use his full strength at all. But Whitebeard was the first to make Grimm experience the world's peak combat power.
Grimm clasped his hands together at his chest. "The Holy Light shall not be blasphemed. Pops, you are now an enemy of the Holy Light. Feel this… the infinite power of the Holy Light!"
The moment Grimm finished speaking, Whitebeard saw a sun suddenly appear in the sky. Blinding light shone down, completely eclipsing the original sun's radiance.
"Hey, hey, what's going on? I can't open my eyes!"
"So blinding! Why is there an extra sun!"
"This is Grimm's move, Pops. You must be careful…"
However, although Whitebeard's eyes stung and he could barely open them, his excellent Observation Haki showed no fear, at most only a trace of confusion and impatience.
Instantly, Grimm raised both hands and condensed. The Ash Messenger and the Hammer of Divine Punishment appeared in his left and right hands respectively. At the same time, a golden beam of light shot directly towards Whitebeard. The twin-winged angel, which had been shattered by the previous tremor, reappeared behind Whitebeard, condensed from photons.
[Gemini Shield]
The twin-winged angel waved its hand, and two giant shields appeared before and behind Whitebeard, sandwiching him in the middle.
"All of you, fall back!"
Sensing danger, Whitebeard became slightly serious. He crossed his hands, let out a muffled groan from his throat, which then deepened.
Marco and the others were shocked at this sight and quickly shouted to the others: "Hurry and retreat, Pops is getting serious!"
As the more than ten pirate ships retreated frantically, Grimm slowly descended from the sky towards Whitebeard. He had lost his white trench coat, his messy hair fluttered in the wind, his body was entirely forged from Holy Light, and the cross hanging on his chest pulsed.
"What's wrong, Pops? Hesitating to make a move? Are you worried about your sons?" Grimm said with a smile. He was also waiting for Whitebeard to make a move, wanting to see what kind of power this man would unleash and whether he could withstand it with so many buffs.
Whitebeard cared too much about his sons. As long as his sons were in danger, he would ensure their safety, even if a knife were at his throat.
Truly a great father.
"Heaven and Earth Collapse!"
Finally, Whitebeard slammed his hands outwards to the sides.
Gulp!
Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack, crack~
Cracks appeared in the shattered air hundreds of meters into the sky. Two seconds later, the entire island began to shake violently. The sea, which had just calmed down, began to roar again.
Although Whitebeard's pirate ships had retreated from the island, the furious waves still caused chaos on their ships.
At the same time, the Gemini Shield created by Grimm shattered in an instant, turning into specks of golden light and dissipating.
Whitebeard's attack came, carrying a pure white light sphere, a testament to his Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability.
"Holy Legion!"
Grimm roared. Eight twin-winged angels descended from the sky where the sun was located.
One of the angels was the first to thrust its long sword towards Whitebeard's shoulder, but it was caught by Whitebeard's hand in mid-air and torn in half at the waist by its wings, instantly disappearing into photons.
Grimm beckoned with both hands, and the other angels instantly swarmed forward.
"Ha!"
With a low roar from Whitebeard, he met several angels with a single punch, shattering the space. Spiderweb-like cracks instantly engulfed these angels.
With his Observation Haki, Whitebeard suddenly slashed backwards with his naginata. Photons instantly condensed into Grimm's likeness, which Whitebeard then cut in half at the waist.
Swish, swish, swish!
Grimm immediately cast "Divine Smite" on himself to heal his body and continuously fired Holy Light Spears from his hands.
"A mere trifle!"
Whitebeard roared in anger and disdain. His Conqueror's Haki combined with the tremors he unleashed forced the Holy Light bombardment from "Divine Baptism" to a standstill in the air for half a second.
Whitebeard moved his naginata from bottom to top, swinging his fist. Crack! All the light rays were distorted by the tremors and crashed into the distant sea, creating colossal waves!
Furthermore, Whitebeard pushed off and continued to swing at Grimm.
"Hahaha, Pops, that's the spirit!" Grimm laughed, condensing the Ash Messenger and the Hammer of Divine Punishment and charging forward.
