Chapter 39: Tremor-Tremor Fruit Activated
"Can't I just knock you down?" Garp took off his cloak of justice, stomped on the air at super high speed, and rushed towards the golden lion in the sky.
Like a flash of blue light, it reached the air in an instant and fought with the golden lion.
The huge island flew over the naval fleet, blocking out the sky and the sun, making people nervous and terrifying.
"The fleet disperses, quickly!" Sengoku ordered, calmly looking at Garp who was fighting fiercely with the Golden Lion in the sky. He did not take action, but waited for potential enemies to appear.
"Can I cut this island in half?" Arthur was also shocked by the sight. If he hadn't gone out to sea, he would probably not know how the guys in the old times fought.
With the devil fruit working like this, he couldn't remember how Luffy and his crew defeated someone like Golden Lion.
At this time, the Golden Lion Shiki had no rudder on his head, was not bald, and was not old. He looked like he was in his prime.
"What should we do, Major Arthur?" One hundred marines ready to go behind Arthur asked him.
"Remember, Cooper, under no circumstances should you fight with the man with long, thick golden hair and a knife in each hand. Run away when you see him." Arthur first instructed Cooper, then turned and looked at the one hundred soldiers under his command.
The soldiers looked nervous, filled with fear of death, waiting for Arthur's orders.
"After the island falls into the sea, everyone go ashore." Arthur gave them orders: "He brought an island here, isn't he just going to use it as a battle site for the conflict between the two forces?"
"understood."
The island fell into the sea, the warships scattered in all directions, and the raging and violent waves overwhelmed everything around them.
The waves hit the side of the boat, just like the end of the world after a flood, which is really tempting.
Some warships that did not have time to withdraw from the island sank into the cold seabed on the spot.
The two people who were fighting in the air soon fell onto the flaming island covered with lava.
"Dock, the entire army will land on the island!" With a command from Zhan Guo, dozens of warships sailed towards the coast at full speed.
The pirate fleet also landed on the island from the other side, and a war was about to break out.
……
On the nearby sea.
On the deck of a giant sailing ship that looks like a white whale, a pirate group of a thousand people are watching from a distance. A conflict occurs between the Navy and the Flying Pirates.
In addition to the crew, the ship was filled with children aged 10 to 16 serving as cadres.
Most of them are people who were despised and abandoned by the society. They were adopted by him as his sons and formed a big family pirate group.
"That's amazing, Dad. Is this your former shipmate?"
"He is a Devil Fruit user, right? He actually turned an island over and used it as a battlefield for the conflict between the two armies!"
On the giant sailing ship named Moby Dick, a man with golden algae hair was looking at the distant island calmly and listening to his sons' conversation.
"Gulala~" Whitebeard held a bottle of wine several meters long and suddenly smiled.
"After all, we stole a lot of treasure from his territory as starting capital. It's natural for that guy Shiki to be angry, right?"
Whitebeard was a huge and sturdy man with perfect muscles. He sat on a chair specially set up on the deck of the Moby Dick.
He is nearly seven meters tall, and his crescent-shaped white beard that bends upwards gives him the nickname "White Beard".
Looking at the battle on the distant island, he probably had already guessed in his mind why Golden Lion, who was also a cadre on the Rocks Pirates' ship, came here to find him.
"Are we going to help him? Dad, after all, no one likes the navy!" A little boy with pineapple hair asked White Beard on the Moby Dick.
Everyone on the deck had a strong desire to fight and seemed to want to join in the conflict.
Whitebeard drank the wine in the bottle in one gulp, then grabbed his weapon, stood up, and walked towards the bow of the Moby Dick:
"If you dare to cause trouble around here, the Flying Pirates and the Navy are our enemies!"
As he spoke, a circular halo appeared out of thin air on his hand, tightly wrapping his fist.
"With no friendly forces to speak of, it's time to expand our territory and our pirate group in the New World, sons!"
Hearing Whitebeard's order, the morale of the pirates on the ship instantly rose and they cheered.
They all looked at Whitebeard's tall and majestic back, steadied their steps, and swung their right arm with the halo solidified as they stretched out their strength towards the sea in front of them.
Crack! The air layer above the sea was torn apart like glass, causing a terrifying earthquake force to rush towards the burning island ahead.
In an instant, the entire surrounding sea began to shake violently as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart—!
……
On the island, Arthur, who was leading a team of 100 people to fight pirates, was shocked by the sudden violent shaking.
"What's going on...the island is tilted..." Arthur's first action was to look up at the sky.
We immediately discovered that there was a huge spider web tearing through space in the distant sea, which was continuously causing earthquakes and tsunamis in the surrounding sea areas.
The familiar scenery and scene made Arthur recognize it as the ability of Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit at a glance.
Like a wonder——
The navy and pirates on the island were attracted by the huge movement. A hearty laugh of "Gulala" was heard, and two hundred-meter-high waves hit both sides of the island.
"This laughter...hahahaha!" The golden lion flew into the sky with a knife in hand, looking at the familiar figure on the bow of a giant sailboat in the distance on the island.
"Whitebeard, you bastard, I finally see you!"
After saying that, Shiki, for the sake of his members, swung the blades in his hands more than ten times in a row towards the hundred-meter tsunami.
The tsunami that was powerful enough to submerge the entire island was chopped into pieces and poured down on the island like a torrential rain, extinguishing the fire created by Sakaski.
Tons of seawater fell from the sky, and parts of the warships and pirate ships anchored on the island's coast were washed to the bottom of the sea.
"It's been many years, Shiki!" Whitebeard greeted the golden lion with a smile on his face and veins popping out on his forehead: "You brought the war to this sea, so I guess you are ready to sink into the sea?"
Sphinx Island is Whitebeard's hometown. The Golden Lion brought an island and navy here to start a war, which undoubtedly put his hometown under serious threat.
Whitebeard had nothing but hostility towards him at this moment.
The two were a hundred meters apart, yet they were able to communicate freely.
"You are still the same as always, an irritating guy. The purpose of my coming this time is very simple..." The golden lion floated in the sky and extended an olive branch to Whitebeard in the distance: "Become my right-hand man, Whitebeard!"
"Huh?!" Upon hearing this, Whitebeard revealed a look of disgust, and the halo of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit in his hand solidified again: "What are you talking about? Do you want me to be your little brother?"
He was even a little angry and didn't want to join the Golden Lion team from the bottom of his heart.
I just want to take my children and travel across this sea.
Shiki continued to say to him, "As long as you join us, we can rule the world together! The captain was too foolish, reckless, and impulsive, which led to his fall in the Valley of Gods!"
"With your current strength and my ambition and huge military force, anyone will surrender to us!"
Such an open and aboveboard attempt to win over former companions has already made the general Zhan Guo worried.
