Strongest Swordsman In One Piece - Chapter 230
El didn’t know that his actions in the past two years had made the future Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach coveted his Float-Float Fruit. Even if he knew, El would just laugh it off.
It is undeniable that Teach is indeed a hidden powerhouse in the New World, but before becoming an unprecedented two devil fruit user or to be more precise, before becoming the Quake-Quake Fruit and Dark-Dark Fruit user even if Teach is a hidden powerhouse, there’s still a long way to go.
If he focuses on the Quake-Quake Fruit, he can target Whitebeard’s old body and exploit his obvious weaknesses toward his family.
If he focuses on his Float-Float Fruit, he doesn’t mind teaching Teach by letting him follow Shanks’s steps.
As the protagonist of this Era, his different from Teach and Luffy who is the next protagonist of the next era, their biggest difference in each other is that El is a decade ahead of them and he successfully developed.
El, who is already an end-game player and with the advantage of being a traverser, he can achieve many miracles that countless people can’t do.
For example, when he was only fourteen years old, he have a bounty as high as 5 billion bellies, ranking No. 2 in the world in this era. It is a miracle that cannot be replicated. Or for another example, he let Carina become The World Worst Devil Fruit user.
Such a miracle, in eight hundred years of history, maybe only Blackbeard in the future can do it.
However, Blackbeard is an extraordinary freak, and Carina and the others are ordinary girls. It was El who brought them to this level with his own abilities.
After the medium-sized island stopped, a silver-white ship slowly flew down from the island, it did not land on the sea but only stop in the air slightly higher than Moby Dick.
“Welcome to Moby Dick Captain El!”
Looking at the figure emerging from the ship, Marco shouted loudly and as his words fell, those pirates who were originally on the deck moved to the left and right sides of the ship to make way for El.
El, who flew from the deck of the Pegasus, landed on the deck of the Moby Dick with one hand on the handle of his sword and the other on the trousers of his pocket as he walked towards Whitebeard who was sitting on a special chair.
Behind him, there is also a special wine jug that is also made of Jewel Tree Adam and it is filled with the wine that the giant from the underworld
especially given to him when they established cooperation with the City in the Sky.
Although El did not deliberately imitate Shanks when he looked at the 6.6-meter-tall little giant who was much taller than him even when sitting, his red eyes still flashed a dark purple light, and then a ghostly aura emerge from his body and turned into a hemisphere-shaped aura that covers the entire Moby Dick.
As El strides forward, the weaklings who have not mastered Haki suddenly fell to the ground with their eyes turning white and faces becoming sluggish, and the powerhouses who master haki, at this moment, their world seems to turn into a dark purple color.
It was originally a hot day in the afternoon, but because of the aura that was infused with conqueror haki these masters, who were called powerhouse in the new world, all felt cold in their bodies and mind.
“How many years has it been since another kind of this conqueror haki appeared?”
Looking at El, who was walking slowly towards whitebeard, Marco leaned on the side of the boat and sighed slightly.
“The last time I saw this kind of conqueror haki was more than ten years ago.”
Jozu sitting next to Marco folded his arms and said solemnly. “At that time Demon Heir, Douglas who’s another successor of Asura conqueror haki was already the main member of the Roger Pirates despite being the same age as us.”
“Conqueror haki is the embodiment of will, the stronger the will, the stronger the conqueror haki is, this guy has become a pirate emperor at a young age, and it is not uncommon to have such conqueror haki.”
After speaking, Marco ignored El’s Conqueror haki provocation and looked at whitebeard who was drinking quitely and a look of sadness flashed in those half-closed eyes.
As one of the spectators who witnessed Whitebeard and Roger’s peak confrontation, Marco had to admit that his invincible Pops back then was really old now.
If it was more than ten years ago, his father still had that dazzling blond hair and if El dares to unleash his conqueror haki as provocations, his Pops will teach him to be a human with his unparalleled conqueror haki.
Pops not only lost his agility but even his Haki can’t be used recklessly.
Time is really the biggest enemy of strong people, especially mutated humans with huge sizes, they are more affected by time than ordinary people of the same age.
It’s like an equivalent exchange.
When he was young, a mutated human body possessed strength, defense, and even the speed that ordinary people envied. However, when he gets older, his huge size takes away his speed and makes him a bulky
live target.
Especially the deep wounds left behind after hundreds of battles are many times larger than ordinary people.
They have no medical technology that is at the level of the Navy Headquarters, so Whitebeard, who is addicted to alcohol and does not know how to maintain his health, if it is not for the Quake-Quake Fruit, and if he only has a Haki and swordsmanship he is no longer the opponent of Rayleigh and Garp, but this world has no ifs.
Although Whitebeard has lost his agility, a mutated human’s physical strength and Quake-Quake Fruit still gave him the power to break through all those walls that block his path.
Seeing that Whitebeard didn’t respond to his provocation, El didn’t know whether he didn’t take himself seriously, or he didn’t want to waste unnecessary conqueror Haki and hurt his sons.
El just stunned all the pirates who didn’t have Haki and some who had mastered haki but were still not worthy enough to watch this conversation before putting away his conqueror haki.
Standing less than three meters away from Whitebeard, El looked at the little giant in front of him, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly: “I’ve admired your name for a long time, the strongest man in the world, Edward Newgate.”
At this moment, the No. 1 and No. 2 pirate in this era finally ushered their first meeting.
