Crossover Anime: Starting with a Life Index, Join the Chat Group

Undeniably, Whitebeard was unwilling to submit to Luo Hao's command, because that would mean he could no longer take care of the children as before.

He is now the leader of the Whitebeard Pirates and has absolute authority.

With just a word, all the "children" would flock to him, becoming his strength and helping him protect each and every one of them.

But what if you surrender?

There will be checks and balances above him, and more problems will arise, making it impossible to protect him so recklessly.

Therefore, he was unwilling to accept it.

Of course, there might still be a bit of wishful thinking involved.

For example... maybe he really can remain invincible against Luo Hao?

Whitebeard couldn't say he didn't have this idea either.

After all, they've never truly risked their lives before.

Therefore, Whitebeard was still hesitant.

Luo Hao had already figured this out.

"How about we make a bet?"

Luo Hao spread his hands and glanced at the entire Whitebeard Pirates.

Starting with Whitebeard, the gaze swept over Marco, Jozu, and others one by one.

"I won't attack first. All of you come at me at once. I'll give you one day. If you can make me move even one step, then... I'll turn around and leave!"

"what!!!"

Upon hearing this, many of the Whitebeard Pirates' captains revealed ferocious expressions.

These words go beyond simple provocation and insult; they're practically rubbing their faces into the ground.

Anger ignited within them all, and they prepared for battle, awaiting Whitebeard's command to launch their attack.

"Gurala la la la~~~"

The white-bearded man laughed heartily.

He got it.

I understand what Luo Hao means.

This was his way of crushing any remaining hope in his heart, of utterly defeating him, and making him understand that it was either death or submission.

"I have a white beard!"

I want to emphasize this point again.

He waved his hand, signaling everyone to put away their weapons.

He alone picked up his weapon, the Supreme Grade Sword, Kumogiri, of which there are only twelve in the world.

"Let this old man test the skills of the world's greatest criminal in history!"

The blade was enveloped in jet-black Armament Haki, while Conqueror's Haki transformed into streaks of crimson lightning that intertwined with its surface.

The air surged, the starlight gathered, and an astonishing distortion formed on the blade, changing even the sky in an instant.

The vibration waves of the "Tremor-Tremor Fruit," possessing world-class Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, and hailed as the strongest and most destructive Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, converged together.

This would be Whitebeard's strongest attack at his peak, enough to unleash a boundless tsunami, destroy mountains and islands, and permanently damage the natural environment.

As Whitebeard's attack landed, space itself was torn apart, and visible cracks, like spider webs, tore out in all directions.

The many division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates all changed their expressions and retreated to avoid the aftershocks of Whitebeard's attack.

Even the aftershocks were enough to tear apart the Diamond-Diamond Fruit user, the toughest man in the entire Whitebeard Pirates.

No one in the entire pirate crew dared to step forward and experience their father's strength.

"As expected of my father, he's too strong... This kind of spirit is exhilarating and makes one's body and soul submit to him."

Marco stared fervently at the white beard unleashing its overwhelming power, shouting in his heart.

Immense pressure descended upon Luo Hao, as if the sky were collapsing, and everywhere one looked, there were countless cracks.

The intense vibrations continuously assaulted Luo Hao's body, yet were completely absorbed by him, causing him no harm whatsoever.

There was no need for Luo Hao to use Observation Haki to predict the attack; he knew very well that the blow would come down on him from above.

Because the Conqueror's Haki that Whitebeard had applied had transformed into chains, binding Luo Hao's body and attempting to suppress his consciousness.

With this attack, apart from those with equal Conqueror's Haki binding techniques, everyone else was completely unable to move and could only take the hit head-on.

Luo Hao could certainly escape, and easily at that.

However, if they escape, then there's no hope of subduing Whitebeard.

Even if you take the hit head-on and get defeated, you may still have a chance in the future.

But if he runs away, he will be a despicable person no matter what, and the Whitebeard Pirates will never recognize Luo Hao as their leader.

Even if they were to die, they would probably never allow Whitebeard to submit to Luo Hao.

That means there's absolutely no chance.

Therefore, the word "avoidance" didn't even cross Luo Hao's mind.

Furthermore, he didn't need to hide at all.

Armament Haki twisted on the surface of his body, turning into a pitch-black gale. Conqueror's Haki was withdrawn, turning into streaks of crimson lightning, which intertwined and mixed with the gale of Armament Haki.

Luo Hao raised his hand, and the twisted wind and thunder entangled and coiled around his arm.

Facing Whitebeard's full-force attack, Luo Hao had to use one hand to block it.

Buzzing sound~~~

The violent impact swept across the entire Moby Dick, and the fierce shockwave made it impossible for the crew to open their eyes; some were even pushed directly out of the ship.

At this moment, Marco bursts into flames, transforming into a phoenix, and quickly rescues the members who have been blown away.

At the same time, they watched the battlefield with horror.

Currently, few people can clearly see the battlefield; only the top-ranked captains are watching in horror as Luo Hao catches Whitebeard's earth-shattering attack with his bare hands.

The distorted shockwaves and the impact of Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki were all forcefully suppressed by that hand, unable to push it any further.

Not to mention Luo Hao, this terrifying attack failed to crush the deck beneath Luo Hao's feet.

Whitebeard's terrifying attack, capable of destroying an island, was actually intercepted.

This situation shocked everyone.

"Incredible!...Incredible...I've lost!"

As the shockwave subsided, Whitebeard slowly raised his sword, Kumogiri, his expression complex.

He has come to terms with reality.

His full-force attack couldn't even make Luo Hao take a step back.

The gap is enormous.

Therefore, he acknowledged Luo Hao's strength and announced his surrender.

However, despite this, Whitebeard's feelings were still quite complicated.

He once roamed freely in the new world, dominating a region, and was known as "the strongest man in the world".

He was knocked down at the peak of his life.

It's the same kind of failure where you can't even find an excuse.

A sense of loneliness inevitably rose in his heart.

But he is no ordinary person. He has no intention of becoming the Pirate King or ruling the world. What he wants is very clear: to protect his family.

Since we've lost, let's put aside unnecessary pride and choose to bow our heads.

He could accept this outcome.

The entire crew of the Moby Dick fell silent.

No one said anything, and the atmosphere became deathly silent.

The god they once held dear was defeated and then recruited by them. For a time, they didn't know how to think or see things, and they felt lost about the future.

"Gurala la la~~"

At this moment, the white-bearded man laughed heartily and shouted, "Sons, let's have a feast to celebrate our new captain!"

After the initial disappointment, Whitebeard quickly recovered. Since things had come to this, he naturally had to look forward.

And nothing brings people closer together more than a banquet.

Although everyone was still confused, Whitebeard's words still carried considerable authority, and everyone put on a smile, starting a lively banquet.

At the banquet, the white-bearded man led the way, pouring wine into Luo Hao's hands. The group drank heavily, eventually getting completely drunk.

Only Luo Hao and Whitebeard remained conscious.
