Chapter 172: Ryujin Jakka, Hot Hell, Island Destruction
A monster from the same era as Dad?

Ha ha……

Marco smiled inwardly and said no more.

After checking on Vista's injuries, he knew part of his father's purpose.

Perhaps the future relationship between Fishman Island and the Revolutionary Army is the focus, but taking this opportunity to let them put aside their arrogance must also be one of the goals.

In this case, the guy from the revolutionary army must not be very old, and he will probably scare them in the end.

Even the World Government didn't know the true identity of the Cloaked Man, let alone them. But Dad was old, and there was nothing he didn't know about the strong men of the previous generation.

So this guy, at the very least, is of the same new generation as them.

……

At the same time, Whitebeard glanced at Joz, who was watching the battle calmly, and the veins on his forehead twitched unconsciously.

Among the group of sons, he is the only one with a simple mind.

But thinking about what Roger said at that time, it is understandable. After all, after being turned into diamond, the brain will also be as hard as diamond.

Sighing, Newgate looked at Kevin and said, "Good job, kid."

Kevin said helplessly: "If I didn't understand what you meant, I would have really cut him off with that knife. Then it was you who asked me to draw the knife. It was you who came to me for revenge after my son was killed, right?"

Hearing this, Newgate's big white beard trembled: "Don't be prejudiced against pirates, kid. Ninety-nine percent of the pirates on this sea are ruthless and do nothing but burn, kill, plunder and rob. But the Whitebeard Pirates are not like that. I, Whitebeard! I am not like that either!"

The voice was full of arrogance and conceit.

Kevin recalled that when Wano Country was fighting Kaido, he once said that Oden was as naive as Whitebeard and Roger.

Although Kevin felt that Oden was no match for these two, in terms of morality and bottom line, it seemed to be true.

At the beginning of my memory, Whitebeard led a group of orphans in his hometown, but he was not a gangster.

Later, even though he died in the Battle of Marineford, Marco still protected the poor island.

"Even if Vista was really killed by you, that was his own choice. We will not shout about revenge under such circumstances."

Whitebeard held the Kusakumo knife tightly and said, "It's not a life-and-death battle, is it? Before this, you held back when you trained Marcosage and the others. The last blow was also requested by Vista himself..."

Kevin spread his hands and said, "So if I really die, the worst that can happen is that you beat me up to vent your anger, right?"

"Kulalala... you are really funny, kid!"

Whitebeard laughed loudly and held out his hand: "Be my son! You should have seen that we are like family. This is the only true feeling in this sea."

🇧🇷
Kevin exhaled, realizing that this scene actually happened to him.

"You know, I don't agree with your ideas."

Kevin refused straightforwardly, and continued, "He suffered hardships in his childhood, and chose to keep to himself when he grew up, maintaining the dissatisfaction that can be seen in his eyes..."

"Although there is nothing wrong with doing this, and the Revolutionary Army will not force anyone to sacrifice themselves for others, the ideas are different after all."

"My dream and will is to change this corrupt and dark world and bring the light of dawn to all the oppressed people in this world."

Kevin pushed the hilt of the knife with his thumb: "And if I become your son... you know what? It will not be me who will carry your name and travel the sea, but the Whitebeard Pirates will bear my name and become a thorn in the eyes of the World Government."

As soon as he finished speaking, Newgate laughed out loud.

He admitted that he had taken it for granted.

In a sense, it is not arrogant to say that the Whitebeard Pirates bear his name.

He killed five Celestial Dragons, two of whom were killed during the invasion of Marijoa. The World Government would never let such a guy go, even for the safety of Marijoa.

He just said that on impulse, but now that he thinks about it, the Whitebeard Pirates will really be targeted by the World Government, and become a threat to force this guy to show up.

"Interesting kid, let's get started!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Whitebeard, who was nearly seven meters tall, suddenly appeared in front of Kevin and fell from the air.

Instead of using Flying Thunder God to dodge, Kevin, who was also ready to attack, suddenly drew his sword.

Fu Zhan!

"boom!"

At the moment of collision, black thunder swept all around.

The halo of light that seemed to explode spread out, and the ground that had already been cracked by the previous blow shattered again.

Joz, who was left aside, had half of his body turned into diamond to resist the aftermath of the impact.

The posture of a king, surrounded by domineering aura, such an attack is the standard of top-level combat power, because in front of those at the top of the New World, even an attack with armed aura is no more than this.

A guy like this, who can clash with Dad, is too strong.

That appearance is a disguise, so he must be quite old, otherwise how could he be so strong.

……

In the first tentative collision, Kevin could feel the violent vibration coming from the shallow impact.

Or rather, it was not just a shallow blow, the ability of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit attached to the big sword made his entire body, including his internal organs, vibrate.

If it weren't for the innate steel bone enhancement, the only option for facing this kind of attack with the strengthened body would be to escape by teleportation. Otherwise, the damage caused by the vibration would only cause the internal organs to be shattered after a few times.

"It would be disrespectful of me to hold back against the strongest man in the world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kevin pulled away.

"The sins of the world will all be reduced to ashes. The flowing blade is like fire!"

After the words of liberation, a terrifying flame erupted.

With the long sword in Kevin's hand as the center, the temperature of the entire island suddenly rose, and even Whitebeard Newgate, who was closest to it, also activated his ability at this moment.

"Crack!"

With a punch, the space shattered like a mirror, and the terrifying heat wave was broken, but it swept back immediately afterwards.

“Kulalala…”

Whitebeard also became interested at this moment: "This flame is much hotter than that little guy in the navy who can only light candles. So this is your strongest?"

Amid the flames, Kevin replied calmly, "It is indeed the strongest form at the moment, but none of the people I killed before were as strong as you. And strictly speaking, the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit can also restrain my flames."

Kusunokiri swung, and Whitebeard leaped up and slashed straight at him: "Then give it a try, kid!"

Ryujin Jakka also swung, and the huge force collided again.

The blazing blade with a core temperature of six thousand had been successful in all previous operations, whether in the Sabaody Archipelago or in Tenshangjin's East Sea.

Under high temperature, even if the opponent's weapon is covered with Armament Haki, it will also become soft after several collisions due to such temperature, and may even be dissolved in the end.

But facing the skilled entanglement of the Domineering Haki and the halo on Kusunokiri that could shatter space, the high temperature seemed to be isolated from it.

"Little devil, if this is all you can do, you are not qualified!"

Whitebeard's voice rang out, and the big knife split the flames. The fruit power on his left hand formed a halo and smashed down directly.

"Click! Bang!"

The space shattered like a mirror, and the flames were shaken apart.

Kevin also swung his fist, and black lightning exploded in the air.

"boom!!"

The aftermath continued to shake, and the blazing flames swept across the deserted island. The entire ground with Kevin as the center was like charcoal, and was directly shattered the next moment.

On the coastline, waves roll in one after another.

Marco turned into a phoenix and flew over, then returned to the deck with a look of shock on his face.

Izou beside him looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Marco frowned and looked at the deserted island: "The temperature of the sea water has reached at least 60 degrees. This is so far away from where the battle took place. You can imagine that the core temperature inside is probably terrifyingly high!"

Izang was stunned: "Are you worried about Dad?"

Marco waved his hands: "How is that possible? Dad's power is stronger than this temperature. I'm worried about that guy Joz!"

"If the temperature continues to rise like this, if this island is destroyed and he falls into the sea, he will probably be boiled to death."

On the other side, the chef Sachi stroked his chin and said, "It's not very fragrant if it's half-cooked. If it's cooked for a few days, it should be almost fully cooked."

On the other side of the deck, Teach looked at the island with satisfaction.

This guy from the revolutionary army not only has the ability to teleport, but he also has the power to use such high-temperature flames.

But any ability of a devil fruit will be restrained by the dark-dark fruit.

As long as... as long as he can find that devil fruit, he will be able to bring this terrifying guy under his command.

True freedom, true pirate, that is his dream!
……

Time passed by minute by minute, and the raging flames had already burned the entire deserted island. The scorching flames could be felt even on the sea level, which was far away.

Moreover, the deserted island at this time had already broken into seven small islands, and the force of the shock was like an earthquake, shattering it into pieces.

As the morning sun shone, the water vapor in the sea had already formed a thick fog. Even the sea water near the island had been boiling all night. The fish that had not left the boiling frog water were now turning their bellies up and smelling fishy.

On the deck of the Moby Dick, everyone was sweating profusely, and their bodies were red as shrimps in a steamer.

"Walk……"

Finally, Marco roared, and the Moby Dick began to move away from the island. There was no other way, if the newcomers stayed any longer, they would probably be steamed to death.

Just as I was about to leave, the collision noise that had not stopped all night suddenly increased in intensity again.

"Oops!"

Thatch looked at the sea level in the distance, and sure enough, a huge wave was sweeping over.

Marco knew that he couldn't leave. This meant that the battle on the island had reached a fever pitch, and the huge waves raised by his father would probably get higher and higher.

"All newcomers! Get into the cabin, Captain, break through the waves, we have to get away from this island!"

……

When the Moby Dick wanted to get away, Joz, who was on the island, already wanted to die.

It’s…too hot!

Even with his diamond-like body, he could hardly bear the physical exertion after a whole night.

But as long as the diamond transformation is released, the temperature that can directly roast a person will make him continue to consume his physical strength to maintain his form.

"Whoosh..."

On the ground that had turned into charcoal like charcoal, Whitebeard Newgate looked at the flames beside him and the long sword in the hand of the little devil opposite him that was emitting a terrifyingly high temperature.

If this continues, the high temperature created by the battlefield environment will be unacceptable.

Thinking of this, Newgate swung Kusunokiri suddenly.

"Crack!"

A large area of ​​space was shattered, and the island, which had already been broken into seven pieces, began to shake violently again.

Kevin's expression was shocked and he suddenly turned around to look into the distance.

"what!!!!"

Amidst the roar of terror, a large ship was swept down by the huge waves, carrying Joz along with it.

"what!"

Kusunokiri swung his sword, splitting the huge wave in two with his domineering power, and the Moby Dick was sent to the other side of the island by this sword.

"Wow..."

The sea water fell like a waterfall, extinguishing most of the flames, and steam rose up. Although it was hotter, it was not as dry as before to drain away the water.

"Little boy, you have to be serious from now on."

Newgate's expression became more and more excited. He swept the sword across. The vibration force spread the flames and the impact knocked Kevin out.

However, the next moment, before Kevin landed, Newgate came towards him and swung his knife again.

"boom!"

"Crack!"

A large area of ​​space was shattered, and the strong vibration pushed Kevin back again.

Compared with Kaido, who is not yet one of the Four Emperors, the gap between Whitebeard Newgate, who is more than ten years younger, is simply unimaginable!

"Little brat! You're still far from being as domineering as you could be!"

Seeing and hearing the colors, clouds fell from the sky.

"Crack!"

The shattering sound was like a spell, and the island that was divided into seven parts split apart.

"Just this is not enough, little devil!"

Newgate threw a punch, hitting Kevin's head while shaking up the Ryujin Jakka.

"Crack!"

"boom!!"

A punch was smashed into the charcoal on the ground. If it weren't for the hardness of his bones, this blow would have knocked Kevin unconscious.

"what!!!"

Amid the roar, a flame suddenly erupted like a tornado.

Kevin, who had pulled himself away, was also trying to fully master the power of Ryujin Jakka's Shikai after a night of fighting.

torch!

He swung his sword horizontally, and a flame that seemed to be able to burn the sky swept across the sky, engulfing Whitebeard Newgate like a tornado.

"Boom boom boom!!"

There was a loud explosion, and the terrifying high temperature evaporated all the sea water that had just fallen. The broken islands swayed up and down like small boats, and the entire sea was filled with high-temperature steam.

“Kulalala… This is more interesting, kid!”

Loud laughter rang out in the tornado's flames, like the sound of a mirror shattering.

The torch, an explosive flame that would not extinguish until the enemy was burned to ashes, was now directly shattered into pieces by the space.

Amid the explosion, a dark figure all over the body leaped out, with a shaking halo on the broadsword and black thunder exploding in the air, striking down!

Kevin also had a solemn look in his eyes, and his domineering aura and lower blade Jakka also stirred up an even hotter flame.

"Then come!!!"

Amid roars, Kusunokiri and Ryujin Jakka collided again.

There was a loud explosion, and the flames that swept across the entire sky enveloped Whitebeard Newgate, but were also swept away by the shockwaves.

"You're still a little naive, kid!"

"boom!"

The domineering aura erupted again, and Kevin's power under the black thunder fought against Whitebeard.

The entire broken island was like a sailboat, pressed into the sea.

"Old man who only cares about his own business, this is no longer your era! Whitebeard Newgate!"

With an explosive roar, Kevin held the knife with both hands to sweep away Cong Yunqie, and then swung the knife down.

Hot hell!!
"Boom boom boom..."

In an instant, a column of flames shot up into the sky and surrounded Whitebeard Newgate, and a terrifying high-temperature explosion sounded!

The entire deserted island was burned to ashes. Even the island that had been shattered by Whitebeard before was now reduced to ashes by the nine giant pillars of fire.

It was as if a flaming hole appeared on the sea level. The sea water evaporated in an instant. The speed of the reflux could not keep up with the speed of evaporation. The raging flames that shot up into the sky seemed to pierce through the sky!

"Dad!!"

The Moby Dick was trying desperately to get away from it. Everyone was looking at the huge column of fire with worry, but they didn't dare to stop what they were doing.

At this time, all the newcomers of the Whitebeard Pirates had fainted one by one, and the water content in their bodies was close to a dangerous level. They were all thrown into the cabin.

Even at the captain level, he tried his best to protect the ship from being affected.

Because the sea water was evaporating and flowing back, he was now dangerously controlling the rudder, trying to escape the current that was sweeping back.

"How can that guy be so strong? Dad..."

"Why are you so dazed!"

Marco picked it up and hit Joz. Under the huge waves just now, this silly guy cleverly emerged for a while and came back holding on to the mast.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll really have to go to the bottom of the sea to find a well-cooked one like Thatch said.

"Hurry up and pull the sail! Do you want all of us to be swept in? I can fly, can you?!"

Qiao Zi was furious when he heard this, and pointed at the huge pillar of flames that seemed to pierce the sky: "Dad, he..."

Marco quickly grabbed the rope he had loosened, "I'll be a fool if I team up with you next time! Don't you know the power of your father? Pull the sail, bastard!"

Upon hearing this, Joz hurried to help, but his peripheral vision was still fixed on the huge pillar of fire over there as the ship swayed.

Amid the bursting flames, the sound of explosions never stopped, but this was not the strongest power of the hot hell.

Originally, there could be dozens of sky-high fire pillars formed by the explosion, and it was not impossible to destroy a small island in an instant. After surrounding the enemy and gathering together, they would explode with all their power at the same time.

This is the strongest form of Hot Hell.

However, for now, Kevin's mastery of the Shikai is still a little lacking. He only has nine pillars of fire that reach the sky, and they are unable to gather and explode at the same time.

"Bang bang bang..."

The entire island was reduced to ashes. At this moment, Kevin could only step into the air with the Moon Step, staring closely at the hot hell that was about to end.

“Kulalala…”

A familiar laugh sounded, and Newgate, whose entire chest and back were covered in black and white beard, swung his sword.

"Crack!"
