One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 235 The next one to appear is Big Mom!

Bang! !

Rhodes punched Whitebeard's chest heavily. Under the force, Whitebeard's body retreated repeatedly, gasping for breath.

I'm old after all!

A thought flashed through Whitebeard's mind.

His physical strength is no longer enough to sustain a long fight. Compared to youngsters like Ba Quan, although his strength is still strong, his endurance is not as good.

The longer the battle lasted, the more uneasy feelings I began to feel in various parts of my body.

The wounds on his chest, legs, arms, and even his no longer young organs were all sending out warnings to him.

"You lose, Whitebeard!"

Rhodes' body was covered with scars, but his eyes were unusually bright.

Given his physical fitness, he can definitely withstand a battle of this intensity!
After all, Whitebeard is a fruit ability user, and after so many years of development, integrating his ability into combat has become his instinctive reaction.

For Whitebeard, not using the power of the fruit is like having his hands tied.

Not only that, with Rhodes' physical fitness, this level of fighting is even another way of "fighting to support fighting" for him!
With the golden finger of "Whatever doesn't kill me will make me stronger", and Rhodes' life return now integrated into his instinct, if he cannot defeat Rhodes by relying on absolute strength, he will only become stronger as the battle goes on!

However, as the battle progressed and his body continued to be injured and repair itself, Rhodes could increasingly feel an invisible ceiling.

Physical ceiling.

Rhodes had already realized before that after his physical fitness reached a limit, it became increasingly difficult to improve, as if there was an invisible ceiling preventing him from going any further.

In the battle with Whitebeard, Rhodes repeated the process of "injured - recovered - became stronger", and he felt more and more clearly that his body had reached a limit and it was difficult to continue to improve.

Even if he had a golden finger, he couldn't make his physical fitness jump up like before, and could only rely on hard work to improve it bit by bit.

"Lost? I'm Whitebeard!"

Whitebeard stepped down heavily, and his originally staggering steps were steady again.

As the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, he is responsible for 1600 members, 16 squad leaders, and 43 affiliated pirate groups. How can he give up so easily?

"Too ugly, Whitebeard!"

A thundercloud rose up, and the aunt stood under it, flying towards this side quickly. Behind her, there was a sun burning brightly.

"Even I can't stand it anymore! Let me take over the rest of the battle!"

The aunt grabbed the hat on her head and turned it into a long sword. The "sun" floating behind her turned into flames and merged into the long sword.

"Lingling!"

Whitebeard shouted loudly and wanted to take action, but he stumbled again.

The long fight with Rhodes almost exhausted his physical strength.

"Baquan little devil, go to hell!"

"Napoleon! Prometheus!"

The aunt's long sword and the "sun" responded, and the flames wrapped around the sword and combined with it, erupting with even more terrifying power.

"Blade Mother Flame!!!"

Flames were entangled, the sword was fierce, and powerful domineering aura blasted out along with Big Mom's slash. Black lightning flashed in the void, and the power of the domineering aura was also restrained by the long sword in Big Mom's hand, and she chopped down fiercely at Rhodes together.

"Hahaha, good time!"

Rhodes grabbed the "Kurokumo-Kiri" that Whitebeard had stuck in the ground.

"This weapon belongs to me!"

Almost at the moment when he grasped the "Kurokumo-Kiri", Rhodes completely mastered the weapon. Countless techniques flowed in Rhodes' mind. Whitebeard's fighting style no longer had any secrets in his eyes.

If they were to engage in hand-to-hand combat again, Rhodes could easily find the opponent's weaknesses with his familiarity with Whitebeard's fighting skills.

Whitebeard's technique of using Haki was also something that Rhodes had mastered!
Sizzle——!
Black lightning flashed in the air, and domineering aura flowed violently through Rhodes' body, converging on the naginata in his hand. The originally somewhat awkward domineering aura was mastered in an instant. The powerful domineering aura was restrained by Rhodes on the naginata in his hand, and he faced Big Mom's heavy blow and slammed into her fiercely.

boom! ! !
A strong gust of air exploded, and the place where Rhode and Big Mom's weapons collided was filled with an invisible and domineering violent collision impact.

"Great job, Baquan kid!"

The old lady had an exaggerated smile on her face and looked at Rhodes with her mouth wide open.

"You actually have such power. It makes me want to tear you apart completely more and more!"

"Me too, Big Mom!"

Feeling the tremendous power coming from the naginata, Rhodes' spirits became more and more excited.

His already extremely strong body became even stronger after the battle with Whitebeard.

Not only that, with the help of Whitebeard's [Kuromogeki], Rhodes became more proficient in the use of Haki, and completely mastered the entanglement of Conqueror's Haki. In terms of the use of Haki, he can almost be said to be one of the best people in the world.

"Are you ready? Prepare to die here today!"

Rhodes slightly relieved the force, and his body retreated instantly, pulling out the [Elephant Blade] that was stuck in the ground. The power of the Elephant-Elephant Fruit was added to his body again. Under the ability of the Animal-type Devil Fruit, the damage he suffered in the battle with Whitebeard was recovering at a faster rate, driving Rhodes' physical fitness to take another small step forward.

"Well, well, well, you really dare to brag, you little brat!"

The old lady grasped the hilt of the long sword with both hands. The flame on the blade became hotter and hotter. Even the long sword stretched a little longer and revealed its ferocious fangs, as if it wanted to devour everything in front of it.

"Emperor's Sword·Broken Blade!!"

The old lady twisted her body, holding the huge long sword in her hand and swung it down fiercely.

boom! !

Whitebeard swung his fist suddenly.

Click—click—!
Everything in front of her eyes was like a shattered mirror. Cracks appeared in the space, and the shock force was transmitted forward, blocking Big Mom's attack. The terrifying shock force made Big Mom's body involuntarily take a step back.

"Lingling, this is my battle!"

"Well, well, well, well, you can't even defeat a rising star, and you even lost your own weapon. Don't say such things, Whitebeard! It's really too ugly! You are no longer qualified to continue to be a Yonko!"

"You're a hundred years too early to give me orders!"

Whitebeard clenched his fists so tightly that cracks even appeared around his fists.

Although he was briefly exhausted, it only lasted for a moment and Whitebeard recovered the strength to continue fighting.

The most important thing is that this is not a pure hand-to-hand fight like the one agreed upon between men like with Baquan, but a bloody fight between pirates.

Whether it is domineering or fruit ability, all kinds of means can be used.

"Dad!"

As Whitebeard took action, the elite soldiers of the Whitebeard Pirates quickly stood behind him, looking at Big Mom with calm eyes. As long as they followed their father, they would not be afraid even if they faced the Four Emperors!

"Oh, I can't just turn a blind eye. Are you planning to do something to Lingling, Whitebeard?"

A flash of lightning fell from the sky, and Kaido dropped from the sky with a mace in his hand and smashed heavily on the ground.

Marco's drooping eyes brightened up a little.

It might be difficult to face two of the Four Emperors at the same time.

Moreover, the red-haired guy is still watching over there, and I don’t know whether he will take any action.

Hawkeye is also on Red Hair's ship, and he is also an important influence that cannot be ignored.

In addition, Kizaru and Garp are also on the navy side.

Marco's eyes, which had been slightly sharper, returned to their previous listless look.

The situation on the scene was too complicated, which meant that a full-scale war was unlikely to occur, and at most it would just be some gestures.

"You two want to join forces? No problem. It won't be a big deal even if we deal with both of you at the same time."

Whitebeard looked at Big Mom and Kaido who were standing side by side.

As early as when they were in the Rocks Pirates, the two of them often hung out together and had fought each other before.

"Well, well, well, well, I haven't seen you for so many years, but you're still so arrogant, Whitebeard!"

"Oh no, no, no, no, I'm afraid you'll be hit to death by me!"

Although each of them spoke more arrogantly than the other, the three "Four Emperors" just stood there and no one took the initiative to take action.

The fourth of the Four Emperors, Red Hair, looked at the navy's warships vigilantly. Even the cadres of the Red Hair Pirates focused most of their attention on the navy's warships.

Compared to the three "seniors" over there, Red Hair was more worried that the navy would take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.

Under the game of multiple forces, the new world has finally formed such a stable situation temporarily. Once the balance is broken, it will not be easy to rebuild it again.

"Don't look at me like that, it's scary!"

Kizaru waved at Hongfa.

"I am only here to bear witness, but I have not received any orders to go into battle."

"Hahahaha, I really want to see them fighting!"

Garp laughed and looked towards the island.

On Kaido's pirate ship, Jin held the weapon at his waist, his muscles slightly tensed, ready to join the battle at any time.

On Big Mom's boat, Perospero licked his tongue and nervously watched the situation on the island. Behind him, several of his younger brothers and sisters were also watching nervously.

"Whitebeard, our battle is over!"

While Whitebeard and the others were threatening him, Rhodes had already asked Luo and Manshirley, who had followed quietly, to give themselves simple treatment.

After recovering most of his condition, Rhodes walked forward carrying Whitebeard's naginata. Compared with the huge bodies of these three, Rhodes' body seemed particularly small.

"As agreed, this weapon belongs to me!"

"Gulala, good boy, I'll keep my weapons with you for now!"

A hearty laugh emanated from Whitebeard's mouth.

In a pure physical fight, he indeed lost because of his physical strength.

"Next, it's my battle with the others!"

Whitebeard laughed again, then nodded and stepped aside with his sons.

Squard and Whitebee have been rescued, and Joz's arm that was cut off by the opponent has been reattached. The children are safe and sound, but the weapon he has used for many years has temporarily lost to the Tyrant Fist.

However, there is always a chance to win back, and this time the conflict with Ba Quan ends here!
"Kaido, are you going to be my enemy too?"

Seeing Whitebeard move aside, Rod looked at Kaido.

"I just saw Whitebeard coming over to say hello!"

Kaido opened his mouth.

Lingling was his old friend, but Luode was his good friend now.

One is an old friend who once gave him the [Blue Dragon Fruit] and helped him become stronger; the other is a good friend who can now bring him a large number of animal-type devil fruits, allowing him to realize his dream of forming a legion of animal-type ability users.

Kaido was a little hesitant for a moment.

The result described by Linlin is indeed wonderful, but Kaido, who has fought with Rod before, knows in his heart that Linlin may be able to defeat Rod, but she will never be able to kill him.

The power displayed by the members of the Rod Pirates in the previous battle should not be underestimated.

Destroying the Lot Pirates together with Linlin can only be said to be an unlikely dream.

In this case, it would be better to maintain the relationship with Rhodes.

Anyway, there is no interest transaction between them and the Big Mom Pirates now, so it doesn’t matter even if Linlin is unhappy.

"We are friends, how could I fight with my friends?"

"You are so useless, Kaido!"

Big Mom glanced at Kaido with disdain, then looked at Rod with a big laugh.

"But that's okay!"

"Mom can kill you alone, you're done, little Tyrant!"

A powerful domineering aura emanates from Big Mom, which is the mighty spirit of the Pirate Emperor of the New World.

"At this time, the islands you occupied have probably been trampled by ministers from all nations, and your companions have probably been killed!"

The aunt looked at Rhodes with a victorious smile.

She is the Pirate Emperor and one of the most powerful people in the world. It is a simple matter for her to deal with a new pirate like Tyrant Rod who has annoyed her.

Just like she had done countless times before, seize his territory, kill his subordinates, and then let him be killed in despair!
This is the way pirates do things!
"Tianman is the God of freedom!!"

The thundercloud under Big Mom's feet carried the opponent into the air. Powerful thunder and lightning were brewing on the thundercloud. As Big Mom shouted, countless thunder and lightning flashed and began an indiscriminate bombing in the air. One after another, terrifying lightning pillars fell from the sky, covering all the members of the Rhodes Pirates within the range of the attack.

"The situation is clear now. I just need to kill you!"

After sorting out the relationship between the enemy and us, Rhodes felt that everything suddenly became clear.

The Whitebeard Pirates avoided it and no longer interfered in the subsequent battle; Kaido retreated for the time being and would not fight with Big Mom; the Red Hair Pirates and Hawkeye were working together to deter the actions of the Navy to prevent the Navy from making a big move.

Now is the best time for me to kill the aunt!
