Chapter 512: Usurping Emperor Throne

Chapter 512: Usurping Emperor Throne

Buggy receives the report of how the Straw Hat Pirates and Heart Pirates were defeated by the team he made. It's not really an impressive battle because those 3's easy victory was mainly caused by the rookies' carelessness and the 3 were not giving them a chance to fight back.

But that's also something that can decide life & death in this world, so those rookies need to learn that. Only by winning battles can they survive in this dangerous world. Many people would do anything to win because their lives are the most important thing to them.

"Where are they right now?"

"They are on Babel Island now."

"Oh? What a coincidence. All of them are gathering there now."

"Yes, all crews that have been defeated by our teams are on that island now because it's the closest island and it's also a neutral location not controlled by anyone."

"Yeah, but that means there's no law there. It's like the smaller version of Hachinosu, after all. Well, that doesn't matter. Just prepare to do what I asked."

"Understood."

Meanwhile, a big war breaks on Whitebeard Pirates' base. 2 Pirate crews are attacking Whitebeard Pirates. They are Legend Pirates and Charlotte Pirates which are parts of Clown Pirates' Fleet.

"Gurararara! It has just been a year since you challenged me, little brat Alan. Do you think I would get weaker in just a year?"

"It's exactly because you haven't gotten weaker that I come to fight you again. If you've gotten too weak, then it would be meaningless for me to defeat you, old monster."

"Hmph, you are just like that red-nosed brat."

"I'm not as amazing as Grand Captain who defeated you at your prime."

Alan sends a powerful punch at Whitebeard and the old man counters it with a punch too. Their punches aren't touching each other because Alan uses advanced Conqueror and Armament haki while Whitebeard uses his devil fruit power.

The impact of their clash is so powerful that the area around them is breaking apart. Everyone else has gone far from them that fight in the center of the island. They are also fighting now because this is a war, not a duel.

"Are you guys trying to take the Emperor title now, Katakuri?"

"That's right, and we won't return before we get it, so prepare yourself, Marco!"

"Tch! Are you fine with this, Katakuri? Even if you win, it's Alan who'll be the Emperor, not you."

"Haha, don't worry, we have talked about this, so no need to concern yourself. Just try to keep that Emperor crew title for as long as you can."

Katakuri thrusts his trident, but Marci avoids it by jumping into the air. Then Marco rotates his body midair as his hands become blue phoenix wings. He then sends a strong kick from above toward Katakuri, but it's blocked the trident.

"Hmm, but they are actually very impressive, I mean Whitebeard Pirates. Instead of getting weaker, they are actually getting stronger as a crew. Whitebeard himself is stronger than 2 years ago after being cured. He is still not as strong as his prime self, but he still has the power to destroy an island easily."

"Then, just how strong was the Grand Captain who defeated Prime Whitebeard?"

"...."

"I don't want to imagine that. He defeated prime Whitebeard years ago when he himself was still young and now he is entering his prime age. He will still dominate this world for years."

"Yeah. Even if someone else managed to find Laugh Tale and find Gold Roger's treasures, I don't even know if they can be called the Pirate King while he's still around."

*RUMBLE RUMBLE*

They suddenly hear a powerful rumbling sound coming from the island. Their eyes widen as they see a powerful shockwave spread across the sea and then hit their ship. They get pushed, so their crew tries to control the ship.

That shockwave was caused by Whitebeard & Alan who went all out just now. Whitebeard sends an all-out quake vertical slash using his weapon and Alan sends a modified version of Rokuogan that gets combined with Hasshoken, which then called Rokuoken which Cricket taught him and improved by him.

But Alan improved it further by combining his Acid devil fruit ability into it. He was covering his fists with a thick layer of acid before shooting the Rokuoken. To add more power, Alan also used advanced haki in his attack.

Alan shot it from below to counter Whitebeard's attack from above and the impact of their clash was utterly powerful. The clash is not only causing a powerful shockwave, but the ground where Alan stands also starts breaking, unable to hold the impact.

*BAM*

Both of them finally get pushed back by their own clash. Alan rolls on the ground because he was in the lower position in the clash while Whitebeard gets flung back quite far because he was above Alan when clashing.

Whitebeard crashes onto a few trees and breaks them as he flies back. Alan who rolls on the ground stops after balancing himself and sliding on the ground. He stands up without any visible injuries and as for Whitebeard, his hands feel a little numb and some blood drips from a corner of his mouth.

"This brat has become much stronger. Seems like he really can defeat me. That red-nose brat has raised a monster."
