Multiverse Mastermind: Starting in Naruto-Chapter 542 - 439: Whitebeard: Your Journey Has Only Begun, It Shouldn’t End Here
But...
This is only natural!
Because Uchiha Sasuke is by no means inferior!
Or rather, Uchiha Sasuke is the first person Jinbe has ever seen, who can collide with Whitebeard and stand toe-to-toe like a pirate!
Whitebeard gripped his large sword tightly, slowly striding towards Uchiha Sasuke, a slight smile curling his lips, and he laughed aloud: "Gurararara... Kid, you didn’t go too hard on my sons, did you?"
"That depends..."
Uchiha Sasuke slowly unsheathed his sword, taking step by step towards Whitebeard, his voice gaining a chilling edge: "...on how hard you went on my captain!"
"What an interesting kid!"
Whitebeard looked at Uchiha Sasuke, with an even broader smile on his face: "Gurararara... Compared to Red Hair when he was young, your strength seems greater. No wonder you dare to be so arrogant..."
There’s no one in the entire sea to make a suitable comparison. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Even for Whitebeard, having witnessed decades of storms, he couldn’t find a single person to rival Uchiha Sasuke in sheer strength.
After all... Not everyone can easily break through the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates single-handedly, especially when this kid looks only to be a teenager!
Uchiha Sasuke swung his Kusanagi Sword downward, slowly approaching, his voice growing colder: "Don’t compare me to the red-haired guy!"
"Don’t even regard the Four Emperors?"
Whitebeard’s eyes twinkled, and the smile on his face deepened: "Kid, I must say I’m increasingly interested in you!
But your choice of captain isn’t bad. That Ace, he’s indeed qualified to be a captain!"
"Then just obediently give him your head!"
Uchiha Sasuke swung the Kusanagi Sword at Whitebeard, his body engulfed in a gust of wind, instantly rushing to Whitebeard’s front!
Clang!
Whitebeard gripped his large sword tightly, blocking Uchiha Sasuke’s attack. In his hands was a Supreme Great Blade named Murakumogiri!
The moment their blades clashed, energy waves surged from their sides, and the clouds in the sky rapidly dispersed!
It must be said...
Their Armament Haki and Supreme King Haki flowed outward, swirling around them, crashing into each other, sending shockwaves scattering and countless people flying!
On the coastline, the ground instantly split with deep grooves!
On the sea surface, waves dozens of meters high continually surged outward!
"Gurararara... It’s been a long time since I enjoyed a battle like this!"
Whitebeard shook off his cape, and the large sword in his hand suddenly flickered with a burst of light—this was the power of the Quake-Quake Fruit!
Paramecia-Type: Quake-Quake Fruit!
This fruit is acclaimed as the most powerful Paramecia-Type Devil Fruit, rumored to possess the power to destroy the world!
Whitebeard has wielded this power for many years, and the power of the Quake-Quake Fruit is like part of his body, ready to burst forth at any time!
Uchiha Sasuke’s body was instantly sent flying!
The skeleton of Susanoo quickly enveloped him, shielding against the Quake-Quake Fruit’s assault, but the first form of the Susanoo skeleton cracked under the force!
Uchiha Sasuke gazed at Whitebeard’s towering figure in the distance, a flash of surprise passing over his face—this was the first time he’d seen such terrifying power!
This guy...
No wonder he’s called the strongest man in the world!
The surprise on Uchiha Sasuke’s face gradually faded, his lips curling into a smile: "Heh... So this is the power of the Quake-Quake Fruit... It wasn’t as strong as I imagined..."
"Gurararara..."
Whitebeard slowly clenched his fist, his smile unchanging: "Kids nowadays are much more arrogant than back in our day..."
Before he finished speaking, Whitebeard’s fist suddenly smashed towards Uchiha Sasuke!
His fist pounded the air itself into cracks—or maybe even space!
Sasuke’s Observation Haki instantly sensed this surging power, a force that Susanoo couldn’t block!
In the next moment, Sasuke’s eyes flashed, and using Amenotejikara, his figure instantaneously vanished from his original spot!
A rock appeared out of nowhere where Sasuke had been, and was instantly pulverized by a force that materialized out of thin air!
"Interesting ability..."
Whitebeard clenched his fist tight once more, smashing into the air. More cracks appeared, and the colossal force rushed towards Sasuke again!
"Susanoo!"
Complete Form of Susanoo suddenly enveloped Sasuke!
The towering Susanoo was directly blown away by one of Whitebeard’s punches!
The force of this punch even caused cracks to appear on the extremely sturdy Susanoo, and even though Sasuke was inside the Susanoo crystal, he felt the sheer power of the Quake-Quake Fruit!
This attack is nearly impossible to defend against!
Merely dealing with such pure brute force, it’s tough to withstand without using some kind of Kinjutsu; otherwise, there’s no assurance at all.
It’s even hard to say if he could hold out for long...
Whitebeard’s power is just too strong.
Uchiha Sasuke’s eyes flickered slightly. Should he concede now that things have reached this point... or should he really risk his life against Whitebeard?
To continue fighting, Sasuke himself felt a bit uncertain.
Whitebeard also hadn’t exerted all his strength, perhaps due to his body.
Just as Uchiha Sasuke was pondering how to speak, Whitebeard was the first to offer him an out...
This man saw through Sasuke’s dilemma.
But Whitebeard thought Uchiha Sasuke might be planning to use some potentially self-harming technique for victory, so this towering man took the initiative to suggest ending the battle.
The strongest man in the world showed a hint of a smile, extending his hand towards Uchiha Sasuke: "Gurararara... Sasuke kid, let’s end today’s fight here! If we both go all out, we can’t control the battlefield’s situation!"
"You think you can definitely win?"
Uchiha Sasuke was a bit displeased, slowly curling his fingers, speaking in a deep voice: "I was just starting to get excited!"
"Gurararara..."
Whitebeard laughed loudly, shaking his head and looking at the stubborn-faced Uchiha Sasuke: "Kid, I’m an old man now, all I can do is pave a way for you young ones, you still haven’t seen much yet, you shouldn’t cut your path short here..."
If a youngster who might reach the summit fights with him to the end here and perishes, it would indeed be a huge loss for the whole world.
The problem is...
To Sasuke’s ears, these words sounded...
A bit like that damn Will of Fire from Konoha?
Uchiha Sasuke slowly lifted his head, gazing at Whitebeard, his face subtly discontented: "I hate this kind of talk the most!"
Every single one...
It’s always the same.
Everyone always says you are young, the future holds many hopes, the future rests on the shoulders of young people like you.
Sasuke originally thought this Pirate World was still a bit normal, but he never expected that at this juncture, Whitebeard would also bring this out...
Don’t these people know how much pressure young people face?
They, the young, have to face Uehara Naraku, that guy! They have no idea of the truth yet speak as if the future for young people like them is hopeful...
"Gurararara... Kid, this world ultimately belongs to you young ones, that’s just a fact!"
Whitebeard chuckled, spreading his hand towards Uchiha Sasuke, speaking warmly: "Uchiha Sasuke, you and your captain aren’t bad, become my sons, and freely do what you want in this vast sea!"
