Chapter 112 Battle with Whitebeard 2

Luo Tian floated down from the sky like a light feather, and stood steadily in front of the three people who had fallen to the ground.

Luo Tian revealed a disdainful smile and said sarcastically.

"Oh dear, no way, Brother Lao! With your paltry tricks, you actually dare to block my way? You're just dreaming!"

Luo Tian knew the Whitebeard Pirates inside and out.

In his view, apart from Whitebeard himself, who possessed terrifying strength, the strength of the others in this renowned pirate crew paled in comparison.

Even Marco, the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, was only barely acceptable in his eyes.

The so-called title of "Royal Crew" is nothing more than a facade supported by Whitebeard's unparalleled intimidation and the large number of crew members.

That's why Luo Tian never intended to bring his crew along on this mission.

Luo Tian believed that his Conqueror's Haki alone was enough to easily deal with this rabble in front of him.

Thinking of this, Luo Tian unhesitatingly released the surging Conqueror's Haki within his body.

In an instant, an aura so powerful it was suffocating spread wildly outwards from Luo Tian as the center.

The ground beneath his feet, which had been solid, began to tremble violently. Then, with a crisp cracking sound, the entire ground instantly shattered into countless tiny fragments of stone, which flew everywhere.

The Whitebeard Pirates members present at the scene were unable to withstand the impact of this terrifying power, and one by one they fainted and fell to the ground, unconscious.

However, at that moment, another equally powerful Conqueror's Haki suddenly roared in from afar, heading straight for Luo Tian's Conqueror's Haki.

"So, Whitebeard has finally arrived!"

Immediately afterwards, a massive black shadow, as huge as a mountain, leaped up from the sky like lightning, rushing towards Luo Tian with overwhelming force.

It was Whitebeard, who held a long naginata several meters long in his hand. As Whitebeard swung it, the long naginata seemed to transform into a roaring dragon, carrying earth-shattering power as it fiercely slashed at Luo Tian.

In an instant, the terrifying power contained within the blade swept out like a surging tsunami, and the surrounding space was shattered and distorted by this powerful force.

Faced with such a fierce attack, Luo Tian dared not be careless in the slightest and instantly completed the possession of the Candle Dragon Fruit.

At the same time, he suddenly raised his right leg, and his entire leg was quickly covered by a layer of Armament Haki.

The next moment, Luo Tian did not hesitate to use his leg, which was covered in Armament Haki, to meet Whitebeard's long sword.

In an instant, two earth-shattering forces collided, producing a deafening roar.

The entire world seemed to tremble, and the surrounding air was stirred up into violent currents that roared and swept in all directions.

Luo Tian and the white-bearded man retreated several meters away. The white-bearded man's wrinkled face, covered with a white beard, was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip from it. His sharp eyes were fixed on his fallen sons.

Whitebeard knew all too well the true strength of his sons; he understood that they were merely trying to ease his worries.

However, from the brief exchange just now, he also keenly perceived that Luo Tian did not show the slightest fighting spirit or killing intent towards his sons.

All that could be heard was the white-bearded man speaking slowly.

"These days, all the young lads are so arrogant and overbearing! After disappearing for so long, you still have the audacity to challenge me? Hmph, you're smart enough to know what's good for you. If you had dared to harbor any murderous intent towards any of my sons just now, you would have been dead by that one blow!"

Faced with Whitebeard's rebuke, Luo Tian smiled slightly, unconcerned, and responded calmly.

"Grandpa, please don't misunderstand. The reason I chose to show myself and take on this challenge is simply to make a name for myself. Besides, my target has always been you. Of course, I wouldn't lay a hand on your family."

After all, Luo Tian's initial target was Whitebeard, not his sons. Luo Tian knew that these sons were Whitebeard's Achilles' heel.

Moreover, Luo Tian actually admired Whitebeard quite a bit. Although he was powerful, he only wanted a family, and most of his crew members were people who were disliked by society. Whitebeard regarded these crew members as his sons and family.

After listening to Luo Tian's words, the white-bearded man narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded thoughtfully.

Then he stretched his muscles and bones vigorously, while laughing loudly.

"Kuralalalala... It's been a long time since anyone has dared to challenge this old man. It seems my silly sons are really adorably naive, actually thinking their old man is too old. In that case, come on, little guy, I gladly accept your challenge today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Tian nodded without hesitation in agreement.

In the blink of an eye, a black shadow moved like lightning to the front of Whitebeard. Then, an iron fist, carrying unparalleled power, slammed out, aiming straight for Whitebeard's broad face. The power of this punch was astonishing, causing the surrounding air to explode with a series of sounds.

At this moment, Luo Tian's fist was not only covered with a layer of Armament Haki, but also wrapped with a mysterious and unpredictable spatial power.

"Fist Bone Shattered"

Despite the fierce attack, Whitebeard remained completely calm.

He gripped the long sword tightly with both hands, instantly infusing it with the terrifying power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

In an instant, the longsword shone brightly, and visible ripples of vibration rushed toward Luo Tian.

A loud crash rang out as fist and knife collided violently.

The powerful impact caused the ground beneath their feet to crack instantly, sending debris flying and dust billowing everywhere.

Just then, Whitebeard suddenly spoke.

"Spatial abilities? Interesting..."

Thanks to his years of experience in using and controlling the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power, Whitebeard also possessed a certain degree of keen perception of spatial forces.

He had already sensed the slight spatial fluctuation the moment Luo Tian appeared in front of him.

At this moment, Luo Tian's spatial power collided and intertwined with Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, resulting in an extremely violent reaction between the two.

The once peaceful space seemed to be torn apart, with hideous and terrifying cracks appearing.

At the same time, the surrounding atmosphere exploded like a powder keg that had been ignited, shattering into pieces.

The earth trembled and split violently under the impact of this violent energy, forming huge, bottomless ravines.
