"This aura..."
"Zehahaha... As expected of the World’s Strongest Man, truly domineering!"
Looking at Karl, whose aura was like an erupting volcano, so powerful that even they, as Emperors of the Sea, felt a sense of pressure.
Shanks’s and Blackbeard’s pupils contracted slightly, and their faces and hearts were filled with shock.
Even Blackbeard, who possessed the Dark-Dark Fruit that countered ability users, couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead at this mont, wondering in his heart if he could really defeat the monster before him.
Shanks was even more so. Besides his powerful swordsmanship and Haki, he didn’t have a Devil Fruit ability. His techniques might be the strongest among the Five Emperors, but in terms of destructive power, he was far inferior to the other four.
Seeing Karl eliminate two monsters, Charlotte Linlin and Kaido, in less than an hour from the start of the battle, and enter the special state he had used to defeat Charlotte Linlin two years ago.
Shanks, who realized that the other party had entered his full power mode, slowly sheathed Gryphon and said with a relaxed grin, "I’m not interested in the position of alliance leader, so I choose to forfeit."
"Teach, I’ll be watching your defeat from the ship."
After taking a deep look at Blackbeard, Shanks smiled and turned to leave.
"Damn peacemaker..."
Looking at Shanks’s retreating figure, it was the first ti Blackbeard had hated soone so much.
If it weren’t for Shanks, or if Shanks had been replaced by an ambitious fellow, with the four of them joining forces, even if Karl were the World’s Strongest Man, he would definitely not be their opponent.
But as it happened, a troublemaker like Shanks had appeared.
He was clearly not interested in the position of alliance leader, but because of the three scars he had left on his face back then and the bad impression of him killing Pops, he had stubbornly held him back, allowing Karl to fight one against two and use his full power mode to quickly eliminate Charlotte Linlin and Kaido.
As a result, he now had to face Karl alone.
If it weren’t impossible, Blackbeard really wanted to kill Shanks with one punch.
"Senior Teach, Senior Shanks has forfeited. Do you want to continue?"
Shanks’s forfeiture was sowhat out of Karl’s expectations.
But considering the other party’s personality, and the fact that he was evaluated as the freest man on the sea in his past life, and also the man closest to the Pirate King, Karl also understood.
It was better to let Shanks take his companions on adventures, eating, drinking, and having fun on various islands.
To let him lead a Five Emperor Alliance where they were wary of each other and not united, and lead them to conquer another world, that was a bit too much to ask of Shanks.
If it weren’t for the fact that he didn’t want to fall behind the others, to be surpassed by the four of them who could enter another world, and then have his brothers and sisters kicked out of the highest stage of the New World, or even hunted down, Shanks would not have joined this Five Emperor Alliance, which was similar to the Rocks Pirates.
After joining the Five Emperor Alliance, Shanks would not hand over the command to Blackbeard, Kaido, or Charlotte Linlin, those three ambitious fellows.
If a leader had to be chosen, Shanks would either be the one, or he would only choose Karl.
After all, compared to those three, Shanks was more inclined towards Karl, who was himself a holder of a "double-pass" and was very polite.
That’s right!
From the very beginning, Shanks was on Karl’s side.
"Zehahaha... Of course! I will not give up the position of alliance leader!"
Hearing Karl’s words, Blackbeard laughed loudly, then stretched out a hand covered in a thick layer of black smoke and shouted at Karl, "Dark Water!"
A gravity like a black hole imdiately pulled at Karl.
Whoosh—
Then the next second, Blackbeard’s face suddenly changed.
Karl used the gravity to transform into a teor and shot forward.
As if his Observation Haki had seen sothing, Blackbeard, without a second thought, stopped the attraction of Dark Water, raised his other fist, which was covered in a transparent white light wave, and, in just a few seconds, smashed a punch that could shatter everything at the blue-white teor in front of him.
Crack—!
Blackbeard’s fist completely hit Karl’s face.
The blue-white teor returned to Karl’s lightning-flashing appearance.
The cracks of the shattered atmosphere also appeared on Karl’s face like a spider web.
However, Karl, who had taken Blackbeard’s punch head-on, showed no pain on his face, and his features were not even distorted.
The shockwave that surged out from the cracks only forced Karl back a certain distance.
"Mon... monster..."
Looking at Karl, who had only been pushed back a few dozen ters, regained his footing, and was walking slowly with the background of the shockwave ravaging the land, Blackbeard couldn’t help but take a few steps back, his face full of disbelief and horror.
"Senior Teach, you can increase the force a little..."
Touching his face, Karl felt the slight pain from his face. After gaining a full understanding of this state, he couldn’t help but look at Blackbeard and grin, "Don’t worry, I can take it."
"Are... are you kidding ?! How can there be anyone in this world who can take the power of an earthquake and be fine?!"
Blackbeard roared, losing control of his emotions, and then took the initiative to attack Karl. A transparent white light wave quickly condensed on his fist, and from a distance of a dozen ters, he smashed it at Karl.
In this one punch, Karl finally felt the threat that he hadn’t felt just now.
"This feeling... Senior Teach, you really didn’t disappoint in these two years."
"Life Return: As Big or Small as I Please!"
Karl’s eyes lit up, and then he used his third trait, Life Return, to change his body size from five ters to three and a half ters.
After his body size beca the sa height as Blackbeard’s, Karl took the initiative to et Blackbeard’s attack, raising a fist wrapped in Armant Haki and colliding with Blackbeard’s fist, which was covered in the power of the earthquake.
Crack crack crack—!
Rumble rumble...
Under the ear-piercing sound of the atmosphere shattering, spider-web-like cracks spread out from between Karl’s and Blackbeard’s fists like a spider web.
Imdiately after, the entire super-large island began to shake violently.
The training ground, which was already in a battered state from the lee of the five Emperors of the Sea, and was equivalent to a destroyed large island, imdiately beca even more fragnted.
The scene of the earth shaking was captured by the five caras and transmitted to the whole world.
The shaking picture, as if one were there in person, plunged the whole world into an earthquake.
The scene of the strongest Paracia, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, versus the strongest Logia, the Rumble-Rumle Fruit
