Chapter 21: Chapter 21: The Battle Shakes the World! Hashirama Vs Whitebeard!
Hashirama quickly formed a seal with both hands, "Wood Style: Jukai Kotan!" Hashirama shouted loudly.
Huge chakra energy was immediately released by Hashirama and simultaneously a lot of tree trunks appeared directly from underground and grew at high speed towards Whitebeard with the aim of binding Whitebeard's body.
"Gurarara~ The power to control trees? Good power! However, you met me wrong!" Whitebeard immediately clenched his right hand which immediately gave rise to a white halo that enveloped his right hand. The white halo is his devil fruit ability.
Whitebeard ate the Gura-Gura no Mi devil fruit which turned himself into an earthquake man.
*Kacha!*
The fist that was coated with the devil fruit ability was immediately released towards the front. The air around the location immediately collapsed along with the tree trunks that were about to attack Whitebeard immediately destroyed due to the impact of Whitebeard's attack.
"I don't think I can attack him using only my ninjutsu abilities" Hashirama said seriously while looking at the front where at this time the ohon-tree created by him had been destroyed by Whitebeard.
Hashirama immediately re-formed his hand seals and released more chakra energy than before, "Wood Style: Wood Man!" Instantly from underground which became Hashirama's foothold appeared a wooden man measuring 100 meters high.
"Gurarara~ You can also do something like that?" Whitebeard's face did not show fear but a grin full of enthusiasm.
Hashirama immediately controlled the wooden man to move towards Whitebeard while the right hand of the wooden man was ready to attack Whitebeard. The woodman's right hand had been coated with Hashirama's Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki.
Saw the wooden man ready to attack him. Whitebeard didn't relax himself either. Whitebeard immediately pushed his body forward at high speed while his right hand was also instantly coated in his Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki coupled with his devil fruit power.
*BOOM!*
The two fists bumped into each other. Even so, it seemed that the two blows had still not hit each other. However, there have been clashes. A very strong wind blew in the surrounding area where due to the wind the trees surrounding the place were instantly destroyed. The lands around the place were also immediately destroyed due to the impact of the clash.
Both forces are equally strong.
Hashirama and Whitebeard were instantly repelled back.
"Wow! Very frightening physical strength. This is the first time I've met an opponent who can withstand my woodman's direct hit" Hashirama said with a face full of surprise looking at Whitebeard.
"Gurarara~ Your wood-human strength is decent, Hashirama. It's been a long time since someone could compete with me" Whitebeard said while grinning excitedly and continued, "Now it's my turn to attack!"
Whitebeard without waiting for much time immediately accelerated forward and in just a split second he had appeared in front of the wooden man.
*Danger!*
Even though the current Hashirama still hadn't awakened his Observation Haki. Through his battle experience that had been obtained by him in his previous world. Hashirama could feel the danger from the attack that Whitebeard would unleash. Hashirama immediately jumped high into the air while using his spiritual energy to condense the air so that he could stand above the sky.
*BOOM!*
Whitebeard's punch using Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, along with his devil fruit ability was immediately released towards the front of the wooden human's body. The wood man was immediately repulsed along with the wooden man's body immediately destroyed due to the impact of the attack from Whitebeard's devil fruit.
"Gurarara ~" Whitebeard's excited laughter was heard again when he saw Hashirama who managed to escape from him who was currently standing in the sky, "A very troublesome ability" said Whitebeard.
Hashirama ignored this and immediately fell back to the ground. The moment Hahsirama hit the ground. Whitebeard has clenched his right hand which is currently covered by his devil fruit ability to attack Hashirama.
"Bad!" Hashirama said as he quickly bit his ring thumb on his right hand and immediately pressed it to the ground, "Summoning: Gojuo Rashomon!"
Instantly five very large gates appeared in front of Hashirama to withstand the impact of Whitebeard's blow.
The power released by Whitebeard at this time was his full power.
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
Through its full power. Whitebeard managed to destroy two of Hashirama's gates. This made Whitebeard narrow his eyes, "A very strong defense"
The Rashomon Gate didn't last long. after successfully resisting the attack unleashed by Whitebeard. All the gates disappeared immediately followed by Hashirama quickly forming hand seals, "I have to absorb Whitebeard's Haki. His Haki power is quite troublesome for me."
"Wood Style: Wood Dragon!"
Instantly from underground where Hashirama stepped on, three wooden dragons appeared, about 500 meters long for each of the wooden dragons. Hashirama immediately coated his wooden dragon with Armament Haki and immediately climbed onto one of the wooden dragon's heads and then controlled the wooden dragon to attack Whitebeard.
Whitebeard's gaze became very serious looking at the wooden dragon. Whitebeard quickly immediately accelerated towards the wooden dragon which was currently the location where Hashirama was standing to destroy it. However, before Whitebeard could arrive in front of the wooden dragon. Hashirama's two other wooden dragons immediately attacked Whitebeard.
Whitebeard couldn't let go of these two wooden dragons and immediately unleashed his attacks using his three powers.
*Kacha!*
*BOOM!*
One of the wooden dragons was instantly destroyed by the attack released by Whitebeard. However, there was still one survivor and immediately wrapped around Whitebeard's body while starting to attack his stamina energy as well as his spiritual energy very quickly.
"What?!" Whitebeard's face immediately showed shock as he felt his stamina and spiritual energy being absorbed out of his body so quickly.
Whitebeard with all his might immediately tried to break free from the wooden dragon's entanglement.
"I will not allow it!" Hashirama's words instantly increased the spiritual energy to increase the durability of the wooden dragon. The wooden dragon's defense increased compared to before due to Hashirama's supply of more spiritual energy.
Whitebeard also felt this and it became increasingly difficult for him to break free. Hashirama didn't wait long, Hashirama continued to use the wooden dragon he was currently occupying to increase Whitebeard's grip.
Whitebeard could feel that while his body was being tightly coiled along with it, Whitebeard could also feel that his stamina and spiritual energy were rapidly being absorbed by the wooden dragon that was possessed by Hashirama. This is also seen with Hashirama's wooden dragon whose body parts are starting to grow trees and it is becoming increasingly pressing Whitebeard's body at this time.
Despite seeing Whitebeard currently in a choking state. Hashirama did not allow Whitebeard to escape easily. Hashirama immediately flew to a safe distance then formed a seal,
"Wood Style: Kajukai Korin!"
Instantly underground in the 1 kilometer scope area of the battle area appeared a lot of tree roots. The roots of the tree quickly began to grow and there were several tree roots that began to give birth to a beautiful red flower. The red flower then begins to secrete a powder that can put a person to sleep.
By the time Whitebeard smelled the powder's scent. Whitebeard immediately felt the impact. Whitebeard's face immediately became gloomy because if he could not free himself at this time from this wooden dragon's entanglement. He will soon fall asleep due to the absorption of the pollen.
"Looks like there's no other choice" Whitebeard muttered as he immediately released the weapon ability of his devil fruit, namely.
Awakening!
As an Emperor of the Ocean and for a long time Whitebeard held the power of the Gura-Gura no Mi devil fruit. Whitebeard has reached the Awakening stage of the devil fruit. The Awakening power of Whitebeard's devil fruit can cause tremors in the surrounding area.
*Kacha!*
*Kacha!*
At the time Whitebeard released his Awakening. All of the trees in the 100 meter range around Whitebeard were instantly destroyed by the vibrations created by Whitebeard.
Hashirama's gaze looked at Whitebeard seriously, "This ability… Awakening?!"
"Gurarara~" Whitebeard who had just released himself from Hashirama's wooden dragon binding as well as some of the roots that were creeping earlier laughed excitedly gazing at Hashirama, "I never thought you actually had the ability to absorb someone's spiritual energy and stamina. . If I don't quickly use my Awakening ability, I'm sure my stamina and spiritual energy will be completely absorbed. You were the one who first forced me to use this Awakening ability of mine."
"Really? It's a huge honor." Hashirama smiled casually and continued, "How was this fight? Do we continue? I think, if we continue this battle. This island will be destroyed because of the two of us" Hashirama's gaze looked around and currently the area around the 3 kilometer sphere had already been destroyed due to their battle.
"Gurarara~ I think so too" Whitebeard said with an excited laugh then smirked, "How about we determine it through one last strike? We will unleash our strongest abilities and decide who wins?"
"That doesn't seem like a bad thing" Hashirama nodded and immediately descended from the sky then looked at Whitebeard with a serious look, "Before that I remind you, Whitebeard. I will not hold back and will release all my strength. I hope you can survive this strongest attack of mine."
"Nonsense! I'm Whitebeard! Do you think I can die so easily?! stop belittling me!" Whitebeard shouted angrily.
"Hahahaha… I think so too" Hashirama laughed excitedly and then immediately used his senjutsu abilities which Whitebeard felt.
Whitebeard's gaze became very serious looking at Hashirama, "You've never fought me with all your might, have you?"
"I am sorry. However, it was also requested by His Majesty. As long as the situation is not possible. I am strictly forbidden to use all my abilities especially using my strongest ability. However…" Hashirama's gaze became serious, "The current situation is different. I think His Majesty will also forgive me. And also, I was like you before. No one has ever forced me to use my full potential."
"What about your King?" Whitebeard asked with interest.
"Your Majesty doesn't have as strong a fighting power as mine" Hashirama said calmly, "However, that's for now. In the future, he will become someone so terrifying that even his strength will surpass me."
"I became more and more interested in meeting him. Someone who has no fighting strength but is respected by someone like you and you are also willing to follow suit. He is definitely not someone to be taken for granted."
"It's not always that people have to follow someone who is stronger than them. There are many other facts that can make a stronger person follow a weaker person such as willpower and so on" Hashirama said calmly, "That also applies to us. Even though we who are in the combat division have stronger strength compared to our current King. However, we are willing to follow him because he is someone we deserve to follow."
"Gurarara~" Whitebeard is currently becoming more and more interested in meeting Ars.
"Enough talking! Let's finish this battle!" Hashirama said.
Whitebeard nodded seriously and immediately released all of his devil fruit abilities which caused the area around Whitebeard to vibrate so violently that Whitebeard had also used all of his Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki abilities to cover this final attack.
Hashirama also immediately formed hand seals and shouted loudly while releasing enormous chakra almost like the ocean, "Senpo : Wood Style: Shinshuu Senju!"
A stone statue with a height of 1000 meters immediately emerged from underground and the area of the stone statue was 100,000 square meters. On the back of the stone statue there are 1000 hands, each of which has a size of 100 square meters.
Whitebeard's face that saw the appearance of the enormous statue was immediately shocked and there was also a hint of fear that rose in his heart because Whitebeard's gaze was currently looking at the back of each hand of the stone statue where each hand of the stone statue had been coated with Haki. Hashirama's Armament and Conqueror's Haki.
"This power…" Whitebeard's words paused and continued with a laugh, "Gurarara~ It's an honor for me to receive your strongest attack, Hashirama!"
The fear that Whitebeard had shown earlier immediately disappeared and was replaced with a very high spirit. All of his strength was instantly mobilized. Although right now Whitebeard knew that he would lose. However, it had been a long time since Whitebeard had felt this kind of excited feeling. Because he has been standing on top of the world for a long time. Whitebeard had not felt such a threat for a long time.
A few kilometers from the island where the battle was fought.
There is a Navy ship currently commanded by Vice Admiral Momongo. Momonga's arrival here was due to Sengoku's orders to watch the battle and see the outcome. Also, if Momonga had the opportunity to invite the person who was currently fighting Whitebeard to join the Marines.
The first time he heard this, Momonga found it hard to believe that there was someone who possessed an even more terrifying ability of Conqueror's Haki than Akagami no Shanks who was said to be the possessor of the strongest Conqueror's Haki. However, when he met a Navy ship that had previously monitored and saw that everyone there was unconscious due to the effects of the Conqueror's Haki. Momonga could only believe this and immediately ordered his troops to hurry up to see the battle.
"What's that?!" One of the Marines who was currently in the observation tower immediately shouted loudly, "How could there be such a big thing?!"
"What is it?!" Momonga immediately asked quickly and immediately moved to the front of the ship's hull. The moment he arrived there, Momonga saw something very frightening.
"How could it be?!" Momonga saw a statue that was very tall and even exceeded the height of the mountains on the island where Whitebeard and Hashirama fought. It wasn't just the height of the statue that made Momonga very surprised and shocked. However, the size of the statue itself already covered half of the island.
*BOOM!*
Instantly an extremely terrifying wave rushed over. The wave came from an uninhabited island or rather it came from the current clash of attacks between Whitebeard and Hashirama.
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
The clash of attacks immediately caused the sea around the location to become very violent and slowly a frightening tsunami wave emerged. The ship currently occupied by Momonga became unsteady because he had to survive the tsunami waves. All Navy soldiers had to fight hard to stabilize the ship.
Meanwhile Momonga was currently holding a den-den mushi and was broadcasting the battle that was taking place to Sengoku and the others.
Grand Line, Naval Headquarters, Fleet Admiral's Office.
Sengoku, Garp, Tsuru, Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru who were currently watching the battle between Whitebeard and Hashirama broadcast by Momonga returned their faces showing surprise and fear when they saw the wooden statue that had a very large size.
"How is that possible... Who exactly is the person Whitebeard is fighting?!" Sengoku asked with his eyes wide open in shock at the terrifying sight.
"Whitebeard… That old man…" Garp looked intently at the screen which currently saw a lot of black lightning striking the uninhabited island where the lightning was the result of a clash of Conqueror's Haki.
New World, Naval Ship.
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
*BOOM!*
The clashes between the attacks released by Whitebeard and Hashirama continued, which resulted in the clash of attacks that caused the island that previously had excellent and good geographical conditions to be destroyed.
Finally after a few minutes clashed attacks from the two. The outcome of the battle has been determined. Hashirama and Whitebeard won the friendly battle between Hashirama and Whitebeard. Whitebeard could only withstand 500 hits from Hashirama's abilities and he was hit by 500 attacks from Hashirama's attacks.
Luckily Whitebeard had previously healed his dark wounds by Hashirama. This caused Whitebeard to survive Hashirama's consecutive attacks. Whitebeard was also quite lucky because when Hashirama's attack hit him. Whitebeard had already used Armament Haki to protect himself. Although at this time Whitebeard's entire body had suffered very severe injuries from the attacks released by Hashirama.
The battle between Whitebeard and Hashirama has now been covered by a reporter who deliberately went along with Momonga on this trip. The reporter's face showed joy at having managed to get the news that would shake the world. Even though he didn't know the outcome of the battle.
However, seeing that the stone statue attacked in full force for a few minutes. The reporter had concluded that in the battle that ensued, Whitebeard suffered defeat while the victor of the battle was the opponent who fought Whitebeard,
The reporter immediately contacted Morgans and told him about it.
