Chapter 231: Murakumogiri Collapses
Chapter 231: Murakumogiri Collapses
The more Solo fights against Whitebeard, the more he understands.
Whitebeard possesses not only the strongest Gura Gura no Mi (Quake-Quake Fruit), but also an overwhelming dominance in his fighting style and combat experience. He is considered the strongest in the sea.
Despite being under the control of Banshō Ten'in, Whitebeard manages to turn his disadvantages into advantages. With the help of Banshō Ten'in's suction, he unleashes immense brute force, swinging his weapon, Murakumogiri, towards Solo.
In such close proximity, Solo feels overwhelming oppression as the clash between Shusui and Murakumogiri creates a terrifying airflow, spreading in all directions. Solo is swept away by the force of Whitebeard's attack.
"Little devil!"
Whitebeard's feet slam into the ground, veins bulging on his forehead. Determined not to let Solo escape, he bends his knees and propels himself like a swift black panther. In an instant, he catches up to Solo.
Not only that, but Whitebeard's attack bursts forth with tremendous force, shattering the ground beneath his feet and forming a massive pit. It is an unstoppable display of power.
Many believe that Solo's legendary battle may come to an end here, but Solo remains calm, stating that it is still challenging for conventional forces to deal with Solo.
Solo narrows his eyes, undeterred by the thoughts and opinions of others. With complete focus, he locks his gaze on Whitebeard as he approaches. The speed of his hands is astonishing.
Within seconds of throwing Shusui aside, Solo draws Zanpakuto, a sword that surpasses its fame and quality.
Whitebeard, seeing Zanpakuto in Solo's hands, can't help but be surprised. He knows that Shusui isn't the best sword Solo possesses. On Solo's waist, there are 3 more blades, and two of these blades, once owned by the Golden Lion Shiki, are on par with Whitebeard's Murakumogiri.
Realizing Solo's intention to change swords, Whitebeard instinctively decides to face him with his own weapons. However, to his astonishment, Solo pulls out a sword from his waist—an unremarkable Zanpakuto.
"You little brat, do you think you can block my attack with such a weapon?" Whitebeard's eyes flare with anger.
Among all the powerful opponents he has faced, Solo is the first to dare to despise him to such an extent.
"No," Solo shakes his head, sensing the confusion in Whitebeard's eyes. He explains, "Whitebeard, this weapon is the strongest."
Without waiting for a response, Solo disregards whether Whitebeard can comprehend his words or not.
"Flowing Blade-like Flame!"
Solo declares, pronouncing the true name of his Zanpakuto. Flames burst forth from the blade, enveloping it in a swirling rotation. At this moment, Whitebeard is less than five meters away from Solo—close enough for Solo to enter Whitebeard's attack range.
Whitebeard furrows his brow, fixated on the Zanpakuto in Solo's hand. A feeling of unprecedented danger washes over him. Though he doesn't understand Solo's trick, he knows it is not something to be taken lightly.
Despite this realization, Whitebeard shows no intention of stopping. He takes a deep breath, holds it, and puts all his strength into sweeping Murakumogiri.
No matter what secret card Solo holds, Whitebeard cannot lose himself. He is determined to save Ace.
With unwavering resolve, Whitebeard once again releases his domineering aura, utilizing the power of the Gura Gura no Mi to create a white dome around Murakumogiri. It sweeps toward Solo's neck.
At this critical moment, the flames on Solo's flowing blade are instantly extinguished. The blade itself undergoes a transformation.
If the previous Zanpakuto seemed ordinary, the current Ryūjin Jakka reaches a top-level transformation, surpassing Oto and Kogarashi in terms of advancement.
Even Whitebeard, stunned for a moment, can't help but marvel at Solo's weapon. He never expected to encounter such weapons in the sea. He wonders what kind of marine brat stands before him.
With a resounding clash, Whitebeard's powerful slash, accompanied by an air shockwave and domineering aura, collides with Solo's scorching blade. The flowing blade, now resembling fire, emits an unprecedentedly high temperature. A heat wave surges forth, directed at Whitebeard.
In a bizarre twist, a group of scorching fire dragons erupts from Solo's blade, fiercely clashing with Murakumogiri, forcefully countering the violent destructive force released by Whitebeard. The clash is so intense that the fist-sized blade shatters into fragments, scattering in all directions.
Whitebeard is left holding only a decorative staff, his cherished Murakumogiri completely destroyed by Solo. He stares wide-eyed, struggling to accept what just transpired.
"This... How is this possible?" Whitebeard blinks repeatedly, questioning whether he's experiencing some hallucination. He staggers backward, his footsteps faltering.
Solo, holding his razor-sharp blade, flicks it toward the ground, acknowledging the greatness of Murakumogiri while asserting that it pales in comparison to Zanpakuto. The knife is a magnificent sword, surpassing even Zanpakuto in its sharpness.
And thus, the battle between Solo and Whitebeard rages on, with their clash resounding throughout the area.
