Chapter 396: Be Yourself
The cracked sea quickly closed again.
Sakura petals danced on the sea, as if mourning another strong man who had fallen in the vast expanse of this turbulent and chaotic sea.
"This... Is this the end?"
Marco, Jozy and the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates took a few seconds to wake up, as if waking from a dream.
But their expressions still showed a trace of confusion, and part of their minds were still immersed in the battle at this point.
They didn't know exactly what happened.
He only saw that the Traveler used the same attacks as Captain John, as he suppressed him again and again.
The physical strength and speed, as well as the terrifying will of weaponry, were practically the strongest the Whitebeard Pirates had seen so far!
The outcome of the battle between Captain John and the Traveler was decided in just four moves, but, more surprisingly, Captain John was completely overwhelmed in every one of them!
He had been at a disadvantage from the beginning of the battle!
This suggests that He Traveler's strength is not just slightly different, but at completely different levels!
"Such a willingness of weaponry and physical strength..."
Whitebeard whispered under his breath, replaying in his mind the scenes of the brief battle between the Traveler and Captain John.
Although Whitebeard is generally considered a terrifying monster, but in his own opinion, he gradually reached the top step by step, putting in a great effort as a completely ordinary person.
The traveler looked much more like a monster!
At the age of twenty, he already possessed the highest level of armament will, and the ability to anticipate and use the same moves as Captain John clearly indicated that his will of observation was already developed to the level of foreseeing the future!
As for the Haoshoku no Haki.... its strength is also beyond doubt!
At the age of the Traveler, Whitebeard was not even close to having such overwhelming power!
The title of Closest Man to God seemed to be even higher than the title of Strongest Man, but the Traveler received this title solely for the destruction of the Holy Land of Marijoa.
Now, according to Whitebeard, the Traveller's strength and age fully correspond to this title!
Truly the closest to God!
...
In the midst of a gradually calming sea.
Several of the severely wounded pirates from the crew of the John Pirates never drowned at the bottom of the sea, and continued to cling to the wreckage of the Black Pearl.
They all looked up at the Yeruashi in the sky with a fear and terror that was impossible to describe in words.
That man...
He's a monster!
Perhaps the Whitebeard Pirates did not understand the true nature of what was happening, but John's Pirates were well acquainted with their captain's swordsmanship.
The traveler repeatedly used Captain John's moves, while completely suppressing him, including the last strongest move!
How is this possible?!
They simply couldn't understand!
"Almost."
Yeruashi said calmly, looking at the sea calming down below, "Still weak and hasn't reached the level of a Sword Grandmaster..."
Not strong enough.
In Naruto's world, he was able to cut the planet in two with the strongest blow of the sword.
But this planet is much bigger.
It is impossible to cut it with a single sword strike, unless you develop the weapon will to the maximum and reach the level of a Sword Grandmaster.
Although Yeruashi is invincible in this world, he will begin to feel some inferiority if he is not able to cut the world with a single swing of the sword.
"..."
John's Pirates' eyes snapped open sharply.
Although Yeruashi's voice was very low, bordering on an unintelligible mumble, John's surviving Pirates had good strength and the severe wounds didn't have too much of an impact on perception.
If they listened well...
It seems the Traveler was not happy with his strength after killing his captain?!
At that moment, looking at the Traveler in the sky, John's Pirates had the same thought.
Is he a human being? could he be even stronger?!
But the next thought made John's Pirates feel that his wounds had become even more severe and painful.
After all, if you think about it, there is nothing surprising in such thoughts of a Voyager, for he bears the title of The Closest Man to God in the vastness of this sea!
The Closest Man to God...
The nearest thing to God is not yet God, nor is it beyond God.
Robin, who was standing on the deck of the floating ship, shook her head and sighed helplessly as she heard Yeruashi's words, "Sir, do you really feel weak with such amazing strength? Then what kind of power do you find sufficient?"
"Exceeding the upper limit of what the world can withstand, it can hardly be considered strong."
Yeruashi answered thoughtfully, while looking at John's surviving Pirates.
Buzz!!!
A sky blue glow shone in his pupils.
He took the life of John's Pirates, using Rinne Tenseigan's ability to command life and death.
The eyes of the surviving John's Pirates, struggling to cling to the remains of the Black Pearl, were filled with indescribable fear.
It was as if they had seen a terrible and dreadful scene, and then their bodies shuddered and froze, rapidly losing their vitality.
One by one, the lifeless bodies of John's Pirates splashed into the sea.
Pooh!
Yeruashi's ship hit the surface of the sea and rose sharply, as if a huge monster was carrying it on its back.
He was not injured at all during the battle between Yeruashi and Captain John.
Silence.
Klang!
Yeruashi landed softly on the edge of the deck and returned the blade to its sheath.
Robin walked to the opposite side of the deck with Yeruashi.
As she looked at the shore of the nearby island, a strong surprise appeared in her eyes, "This..."
"The Whitebeard Pirates!"
Unlike John's Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates were high above the sea!
Their position was especially strengthened after the execution of the Golden Roger and the disappearance of the Golden Lion.
Now Whitebeard can safely be called a king without a crown!
In this tumultuous Age of Pirates, there is no opponent capable of stopping Whitebeard!
He can easily collect all the poneglyphs and go to the final island of Laugh Tale!
But Whitebeard is not looking for treasure, power or fame, for him the most important thing is family and sailing the vast expanses of the sea.
He was never interested in the pirate king's throne.
"The Whitebeard Pirates... in an earlier time, their captain, Edward Newgate, was on a par with the Pirate King himself, Golden Roger, and now holds the title of 'The Strongest Man in the World' and has a bounty of 5 billion 46 million belli."
Robin briefly told Yeruashi about Whitebeard.
Yeruashi smiled as he looked towards the island's shore, "I didn't expect to run into the Whitebeard Pirates this early."
"In that case."
"Let's... let's go visit Whitebeard."
