chapter 82

"So strong, is this the domineering color of a super strong person!?"

Dewey's flying speed slowed down slightly, and he felt a sharp pain like a needle pricking his head. From his perspective, Whitebeard seemed to have changed his appearance, from a giant old man to a domineering demon king, like a mountain, which made people subconsciously feel fear.

And this fear is not just the weak fearing the strong, it is more like a powerful person facing the sea, feeling as uncomfortable as drowning.

At this moment, Dewey finally understood why those pirates with over 100 million in the New World said that they couldn't even resist a look from Whitebeard.

People with average psychological quality, let alone being unable to withstand a look from Whitebeard, some people who have just mastered Haki may be frightened to death and lose the power of Haki directly.

Dewey wanted to release his domineering color to resist the mental impact, but he found that he seemed to have suffered silent damage. The domineering color could not burst out at all, as if it was held down by a hand, unable to break through the thin film. He could only alleviate the severe pain of the needle and restore his movements to normal.

In front of the real overlord, the false overlord will reveal his true face and have nowhere to hide.

Only a true hegemon can have an equal dialogue with a true hegemon.

Dewey is the false overlord.

Before they even started fighting, Dewey was taught a lesson by Whitebeard.

At this moment, Dewey obviously didn't have time to pay attention to all this, and could only swing the knife at Whitebeard.

Seeing that Dewey's body was only in a stalemate for a few tenths of a second, Whitebeard was not surprised. After shocking him with a look, he took back his domineering aura on his own initiative, and holding the hilt of the sword with one hand, he blocked Dewey's "203" sword of fire, which was emitting scorching heat and was enough to evaporate the moisture in the human body in an instant.

clang–!

The sound of metal collision just sounded, and the golden flame covering Qiu Shui's body, as if instilled with consciousness by the Unlife Return, instantly came to life, transformed into a fire snake and pounced on Whitebeard's face, trying to burn off the title of the world's strongest man and the symbol of the world's strongest pirate group.

The result was that before the fire snake had a chance to get close to Whitebeard, it was as if it had hit an invisible barrier. Not only was it bounced back, it was also instantly shattered.

This is not the shock force of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, it is just a simple domineering block.

After blocking the fire snake that was flying towards him, Whitebeard raised his other fist and hit Dewey directly.

It was a straight punch that demonstrated strength and ferocity, mixed with the sound of breaking through the air.

In response, Dewey, who had lost his agility while floating in the air, had no time to dodge and was hit head-on.

Fortunately, his Observation Haki had already predicted this scene, and he used elementalization in advance to remove Whitebeard's attack covered with Armament Haki, and the whole person turned into a fireball and fell to the ground.

"You are able to develop the fruit to this extent at this age, and your domineering aura is not lost. You have quite a talent."

Looking at Dewey who stood up unharmed, Whitebeard praised him again.

Although elementalization is the most unsolvable ability of nature-type ability users, it can only be dealt with by attribute restraint, seastone weapons, and superb domineering power.

However, Dewey's Flame-Flame Fruit can only barely squeeze into the top natural system. The speed of elementalization is not as fast as those of the top natural systems, but it can still escape the domineering capture of the world's strongest man. There are only two reasons for this, that is, the fruit has been developed to a certain level, or the observation Haki and elementalization have a very high tacit understanding.

Dewey didn't say anything, his figure turned into a shadow and rushed towards Whitebeard.

After suffering a loss just now, Dewey didn't dare to fly high in the air to be on the same level with Whitebeard. He could only use his short stature to make the strongest man in the world put away his contempt.

But obviously, no matter how powerful Dewey is, he can't make Whitebeard take him seriously.

To use the terminology of the game system, the gap between him and Whitebeard is at least ten levels, and this is just the level of ordinary strength, not including special fruit abilities.

Just like how Dewey completely defeated Ace just now, except for the fact that his fruit ability was well developed and Whitebeard needed to use Haki to block it, the rest of Dewey's abilities were not worth mentioning.

clang–!

When Dewey appeared in front of Whitebeard at an incredibly fast speed, before the sharp sound of breaking through the air could be heard, a huge black shadow appeared and covered him.

Dewey's Observation Haki, which had completed its second qualitative transformation, seemed to have sensed something. The blade that he swung towards Whitebeard temporarily changed direction. While blocking the naginata that was chopping down, his figure quickly leaped back, using the help of flame jets to instantly create a distance of dozens of meters between him and Whitebeard, avoiding the kick that even the giants could not take head-on.

If you only read comics and anime, some people might think that Whitebeard's huge body makes him a very easy type to deal with.

But when facing this giant in the real world, Dewey finally understood why this strongest man in the world had no scars at all.

Only the strong are qualified to fight him head-on, and it is extremely difficult for others to even get close to him.

"Why, you don't dare to come closer?"

Looking at the silent Dewey, Whitebeard seemed to sneer.

"…"

Dewey, who had finally realized what it meant to be powerless, gave up the idea of ​​using his natural advantage to attack from a distance, slowly closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

The golden flame on half of the body shrank and returned to its original appearance.

When he opened his eyes again, a golden flame flashed in his eyes. The next moment, Dewey's whole body was covered with a layer of black substance, and then the golden flame surged out again, this time it no longer covered half of his body, but covered his entire body, turning into a black and golden fire god.

"This is… full body armor!?"

Are you kidding me? How old is he?

"His whole body is covered with Armament Haki. Is his Haki level so terrifying?"

"Is this the strongest newcomer in history?"

"…"

Seeing Dewey's condition, Marco and other captains were completely upset.

Everyone looked horrified, their eyes widened and they lost their voices.

The difference between domineering quantity and intensity varies from person to person.

The more domineering a person is, the higher the strength of his armament color.

It is not uncommon to find strong men in this sea who can harden their entire body with Armament Haki, but those who can do this are all powerful Haki who have cultivated Haki to a certain level.

Being able to master Haki at the age of eighteen is already a very eye-catching existence in the New World.

For example, their second squad captain Ace is a genius who has mastered the three colors of domineering.

Being able to harden his entire body with armament color at the age of eighteen undoubtedly refreshed the views of Marco and others.

Of course, they didn't know that in the near future, a monster who had only been practicing domineering for two years and mastered advanced armament color at the age of 19 would appear on the sea.

Seeing Dewey's whole body hardened, Whitebeard's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"Gulala… He still has another trick up his sleeve? What a monster brat." White Beard exclaimed with laughter and changed the way he addressed Dewey.

"This is the first time I've used this form."

Dewey said calmly, his figure transformed into a black and gold arrow, shooting towards Whitebeard.

After his Armament Haki reached level 20, Dewey's Haki amount not only skyrocketed, but his new ability was to harden his entire body.

From this point, it is not difficult to conclude that the additional power added at level 30 should be released externally.

After covering his entire body with Armament Haki, Dewey appeared in front of Whitebeard in a hurry, raised the Great Fiery Sword in his hand, which had also turned into black and gold, and swung it down with great force.

"Fu Zhan——"

The earth had already turned to scorched earth, and the flames hidden deep underground suddenly erupted like a volcano, erupting in the form of pillars of fire.

As if instilled with Dewey's consciousness, the pillar of fire turned into endless golden flames, all rushing towards the Sword of Unparalleled Fire, seeping into the air flow torn apart by the Breath of All Things, forming a cyan-gold slash hundreds of meters high, trying to completely submerge Whitebeard.

"Gulala…"

His eyes were completely occupied by the cyan-gold light, and Whitebeard couldn't help laughing again, this time with joy from the bottom of his heart.

Then, Whitebeard was seen holding a naginata in one hand and clenching his other hand into a fist. A transparent white light wave appeared on his fist. It was the strongest power known as the one that could destroy the world – the Parahuman-type Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

In fact, with Whitebeard's strength that could stop a huge foreign ship with one hand, Dewey's slash that was hundreds of meters high was not worth mentioning in his eyes, and he didn't need to use the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit at all.

But alas, Whitebeard was too happy.

How long has it been?

Ever since he dominated the sea and sat on the throne for decades, how long has it been since there has been a younger generation as brilliant as Dewey?

The last imp who left a deep impression on me was Ace, who was willing to stay and face himself for the sake of his companions.

Even Ace didn't allow Whitebeard to use the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

And now, Whitebeard responded to Dewey with his own abilities, which shows how good his mood is. How many times has his evaluation of Dewey improved in this short period of time?

Snap——!

When the scorching heat and the slashing force that could tear everything apart came before him, Whitebeard just punched out, and a spider-web-like crack instantly appeared in the air in front of him, and then an incomparable shock force immediately surged out from the crack…

In just one second, Dewey's Fufu Slash, which made countless pirates in the New World despair, was shattered by the shock wave, and the remaining power turned into a hurricane, which blew Dewey away from the slash. The whole person turned into a fireball and flew hundreds of meters away.

The shock force mixed with Whitebeard's joy tore a huge gully in the scorched earth, and the strong shock force spread in all directions.

"…"

Marco and the others, who had not seen their father use his abilities for a long time, fell silent, and then all showed proud smiles.

This is their father, the strongest man in the world!

On the Moby Dick, Marshall D. Teach looked at Whitebeard with ardent eyes. The admiration he had for Whitebeard was even greater than that of Marco and other captains.

This is the invincible power!

At the same time, it is also the ability that Teach wants most.

If he couldn't find the Dark-Dark Fruit, Teach would stay in the Whitebeard Pirates for the rest of his life and follow the strongest man.

"What kind of ability is this? Is the boss okay?!"

Kalina grabbed the railing of the boat that was shaking violently due to the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, looked at the island covered in thick dust and fog ahead, and asked Nami with a worried look on her face.

"Don't worry, Boss, he's fine."

Nami, who had been using her Observation Haki to lock onto her boss in case he could teleport over to save the situation, quickly spoke to comfort him.

Seeing the strongest superhuman power for the first time, both Kalina and Nami had their views refreshed.

This kind of shocking force is more terrifying than the elemental force between heaven and earth.

Moreover, this was just an ordinary punch from Whitebeard.

Is this the strongest man in the world?

"Damn, is the gap that big?"

When the dust and fog dissipated, Dewey looked a little embarrassed. Looking at the figure that was like a mountain at the moment, he said what Ace had just said.

The hardened Armament Haki that covered his entire body was also destroyed by Whitebeard's punch just now.

"Fortunately, it's not without gain…"

Then, Dewey's mouth curled up slightly, and he thought to himself: "At least I understand… The Flame-Flame Fruit is like the Conqueror's Haki. It belongs to a special category in the game system, and its level cannot be confused with other abilities."

If the huge increase is tenfold every ten levels, Dewey's Flame-Flame Fruit should not be so weak at this time.

If the temperature just after eating the Flame-Flame Fruit was several hundred degrees Celsius, then after level ten it would be several thousand degrees Celsius, and now at level twenty it should be tens of thousands of degrees Celsius.

Even if it is not a tenfold increase, the temperature in Celsius should still exceed that of the surface of the sun.

However, after the Flame-Flame Fruit reached level 20, Dewey's Flame-Flame Fruit was no longer as hot as the surface of the sun, let alone tens of thousands of degrees Celsius.

From that moment on, Du 4.3 Wei suspected that his Flame-Flame Fruit might be a special type just like the Conqueror's Haki.

In other words, the huge increase obtained by the Flame-Flame Fruit every ten levels is only secondary to the increase in degrees Celsius, and the main increase is in other aspects.

Such as range, control, speed of creating flames, etc…

But now, after seeing his own abilities and knowing that he was vulnerable to the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Dewey had another incredible idea.

Maybe it's not just his Flame-Flame Fruit, perhaps all powerful devil fruits are special.

After all, the abilities of devil fruits have their own advantages and disadvantages. Even if level 39 is the ceiling, it is impossible for a low-level animal-type ability user at level 39 to defeat a top-level natural-type ability user at level 39.

"Hypothesis: The potential of the Flame-Flame Fruit cannot produce flames with the temperature of the sun's surface in this world…"

Dewey thought to himself, "So if [Level 39] is defined as the ceiling of this world, and I want to use my body to create flames at the level of the surface of the sun, I must use the power of the game system to upgrade the Flame-Flame Fruit to [Level 39] or above. Is this possible? In other words, it is possible that the Flame-Flame Fruit cannot be increased tenfold, but that this world does not allow it… Once I break through this limit, maybe the temperature of the Flame-Flame Fruit will skyrocket every time it reaches ten levels in the future?"

At this moment, Dewey seemed to have a clear mind, all his confusion completely dissipated, and there were no more obstacles ahead.

The Conqueror's Haki, which had been stuck at [Level 9 99%], finally jumped forward to [1%].

boom–!

A powerful aura suddenly burst out from Dewey's body, sweeping across the entire battlefield.
