Chapter 120.2: Fourth Raikage vs. Whitebeard, Severed Arm!

[Hashirama Senju: Haha, the old monkey loved to boast. His strength wasn't even Kage-level. Sigh, since he's dead, I won't roast him any further. But I do think Whitebeard is pretty powerful.]

[Jiraiya: I wonder who will have the guts to challenge him this time?]

[Fourth Raikage: If no one else dares, I'll take him on!]

Originally, Neji Hyuga wanted to step forward, but Hiashi Hyuga stopped him.

"Neji, there's no need to take unnecessary risks. Anyway, others have agreed to fight on our behalf, so our Hyuga clan will still receive rich rewards. The key is, Whitebeard is hailed as the strongest man, and his strength is surely far more terrifying than the previous two opponents. The Fourth Raikage's current strength is close to Six Paths level, and he also has a strike comparable to Six Paths power. Let him go!" Hiashi said.

"Yes, Uncle!" Neji responded.

In the arena, Whitebeard and the Fourth Raikage faced each other.

Compared to Whitebeard, the Fourth Raikage appeared small and delicate.

"Damn, why are people from another world so tall and huge? Are they even human?" the Fourth Raikage muttered.

Seeing Whitebeard up close made a big impression.

Indeed, Whitebeard was gigantic!

Still, the Fourth Raikage was unfazed.

Buzz!!!

Lightning Release Armor enveloped him, and terrifying lightning surged from his body. At the same time, his Eyes of the Thunder Dragon was constantly activated.

Given his opponent's formidable reputation, he had to take this seriously!

Just then, Whitebeard made his move.

Although Enel was dead and Crocodile crippled, Whitebeard, as a fellow Pirate World native, felt the need to defend the pride of his world.

Whitebeard threw a punch, unleashing the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Crack!!!!

The air in front of him shattered, and it seemed like the space itself was being torn apart.

The ground ahead was ripped open, and the terrifying shockwave struck the Fourth Raikage.

Crack!

The lightning armor around the Raikage's body began to fracture, forcing him to push the Eyes of the Thunder Dragon to its limits, amplifying the power of his armor to barely withstand the attack.

"What terrifying power! He shattered space with a single blow! No, he didn't completely break space, but it created cracks, as if it was about to shatter!" the Fourth Raikage thought, realizing that Whitebeard's power was far beyond that of the previous two opponents.

Even a relatively weak super Kage-level fighter could have been instantly killed by that attack.

Whitebeard charged forward.

The Fourth Raikage, still unafraid, immediately launched one of his signature moves—Liger Bomb!

He gathered all his chakra and charged at Whitebeard at top speed, using his powerful arm strength to strike.

However, Whitebeard countered with a punch infused with the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

In an instant, the Fourth Raikage's Lightning Release Armor shattered, and he was sent flying, his body trembling violently.

"What devastating power!" the Fourth Raikage frowned.

In the Golden List Livestream:

[Killer Bee: It's over! Big bro seems to be outmatched! Big bro, surrender now!]

[Darui: Lord Raikage is in danger! That Whitebeard is indeed terrifying!]

[Third Raikage: Could it be that A is really in danger this time?]

Many ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village hoped the Fourth Raikage would surrender, but at this moment, he couldn't hear them, nor was he willing to give up.

"I still have one trump card—the Thunder Dragon Armguard, an attack comparable to Six Paths level!"

The Fourth Raikage thought.

It was a strike beyond his limits, one that could only be used once, but it was indeed a Six Paths level attack.

However, he feared Whitebeard might dodge it, so he decided to provoke him: "You're strong, but I have one more move. Do you dare take it?"

"Why wouldn't I?" Whitebeard replied coldly.

"Then let's settle this in one move!"

The Fourth Raikage gathered all his chakra and pushed the Eyes of the Thunder Dragon to the extreme, transforming his right arm into a Thunder Dragon's arm.

He then used the Liger Bomb technique again, but this time with the Thunder Dragon Armguard.

Whitebeard, undeterred, gathered all his strength and unleashed the full power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Whitebeard's fist collided with the Thunder Dragon Arm of the Fourth Raikage.

Crack!!!

The surrounding space shattered, and a terrifying shockwave struck the arena's protective barrier, though it had no effect on the shield.

Pfft!!!

The Fourth Raikage's body was sent flying, and the Thunder Dragon Armguard on his right arm dissipated. In the next moment, that arm exploded due to the overload, combined with the impact of Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Moreover, the Fourth Raikage's body cracked, and he was severely injured.

Of course, Whitebeard wasn't in good shape either. After all, the attack was on par with a Six Paths-level strike. It triggered the latent injuries in his body, causing him to cough up blood, and his face turned pale.

But he remained standing!

"I concede!" the Fourth Raikage immediately declared.

He had truly exhausted his chakra. The Eyes of the Thunder Dragon could no longer be activated, and with his right arm gone, he had lost all his combat strength.

[Edward Newgate wins, and is rewarded with the Life Essence, which can heal any injury or illness and extend one's life by fifty years.]

Amidst the eyes of the crowd, the Life Essence descended and was swallowed by Whitebeard in one gulp.

Immediately, his complexion visibly improved, and his aura grew stronger.

Not only that, his aged appearance became increasingly youthful, and the aura around him intensified.

Boom!!!

An even more terrifying aura erupted—this was Whitebeard's strength at his peak, at least several times stronger than before!

The Fourth Raikage's pupils constricted, utterly shocked.

Was this the strongest man in the Pirate World? Just a single dose of the Life Essence had increased his power severalfold.

Clearly, the old man had hidden injuries, and his advanced age had caused his combat power to decline significantly.

But even with his strength greatly diminished, he still surpassed the Raikage.

"I don't feel wronged losing to him," the Fourth Raikage muttered just before fainting.

His body was immediately transported back to the Hidden Cloud Village by the arena.

The moment he arrived, medical ninjas from the Hidden Cloud rushed over to heal the Fourth Raikage's injuries.

Killer Bee also hurried over.

In the Pirate World, countless people were stunned by Whitebeard's reward.

Whitebeard had regained his youth, and his combat power was at its peak.

"Oh my god!"

This meant the balance of power in the Pirate World had shifted. Many people had believed that Whitebeard was old and nearing his end, waiting for a new power structure to emerge.

But now, with Whitebeard rejuvenated, how could anyone challenge him?

For a moment, the top brass at Marine Headquarters were in over their heads.

Meanwhile, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates were overjoyed.

"Hahaha! Dad's injuries have healed, and he's regained his youth. This is amazing!"

"Not only that, Dad has gained an extra fifty years of life! Most people only live for a few decades, and now he's practically living another lifetime!"

"The rewards from battling beings from another world are incredible! If only I could get in on it too!"

"You? Didn't you see what happened to Crocodile? He was defeated, and even had his Sand-Sand Fruit powers stripped away, turning him into a cripple!"

"Uh, never mind then. The fighters from the other world are really strong. That guy even injured Dad with his final attack. He's definitely stronger than any of us!"

At this moment, the other members of the Pirate World were all extremely excited. The rewards were just too tempting. Not to mention anything else, just the fifty additional years of life were worth fighting for.

"The next match, we have to defeat the fighters from the other world at any cost!" the people of the Pirate World thought to themselves.

In the Golden List Livestream chat:

[Senju Hashirama: The Fourth Raikage really suffered this time. He lost the fight, didn't get any rewards, and even lost an arm!]

[Third Hokage: It seems the Fourth Raikage is destined to lose an arm. The earlier scene showed him losing his left arm, but this time it was the right! He better be careful not to fight Susano'o in the future. Otherwise, if he loses his left arm too, he won't have any arms left!]

[Killer Bee: No worries, my brother can always transplant Hashirama cells. But we don't have the technology for that in the Hidden Cloud!]

[Kakashi: He got lucky. His abilities weren't stripped away. In the Pirate World, once you lose, your abilities get taken and given to us as extra rewards. They've got it worse!]

[Tsunade: Of course, the Competition Card were made by the Hyuga Clan, so it's naturally skewed in our favor.]

[Senju Tobirama: The fighters from the Pirate World shouldn't be underestimated. They do have Six Paths-level combatants!]

Just then, the fourth match was about to begin.

From the Pirate World, the fourth contestant appeared.

Kaido!
