"Then let's see who's stronger. Don't worry, I won't go all out," Wang Han said, his figure rushing towards the white-bearded man at lightning speed.
"Kurarara, what an arrogant brat!" The white-bearded man laughed, and charged towards Wang Han with his pheasant sword.
"Bang..." The two swords clashed, and a huge, loud sound wave echoed far and wide. Wang Han and the white-bearded man's swords clashed, neither giving way.
"You say you didn't use your full strength? It's truly astonishing that such a small body has such great power," the white-bearded man said with a smile.
"I said no, and I mean no. If I were to go all out, I could finish the fight in no time," Wang Han retorted, adding that he hadn't even used any cheat codes yet.
"You can take me down in a minute. If that's the case, even better. Let me see for myself and prove you didn't need to do it." The white-bearded man pressed his pheasant-shaped sword down on Wang Han. "Don't be stubborn. I'll beat you down in a minute."
"Power, doubled. I hadn't even used my full power yet," Wang Han murmured. His power suddenly doubled, and the Miao sword in his hand actually pushed back the white-bearded man's pheasant sword.
"I never expected this kid to have such abilities." Feeling Wang Han's power, which had doubled, Whitebeard was also astonished. This powerful force had already surpassed his own by quite a bit.
"Kid, I haven't even used my ability yet. You're talking big too soon. You used your ability before I did." Whitebeard took a step back, removed his pheasant sword, and raised his fist to strike Wang Han. His fist was covered in a white halo, clearly indicating that he was using his ability.
“It’s not early at all, that’s the truth.” Wang Han disappeared into the distorted space and appeared behind Whitebeard, punching him in the back.
Whitebeard was prepared for Wang Han's sudden punch from behind. As he stepped forward, he swiftly swung his pheasant sword at Wang Han behind him.
The pheasant blade pierced through Wang Han's body, but it had no effect whatsoever, as if it had struck a phantom.
"Bang..." The white-bearded man took a solid punch from Wang Han in the back and staggered forward more than ten steps before stopping.
"Kurarara... Your ability is truly unpredictable." The white-bearded man laughed as he looked at Wang Han. "Just now, you hid your body in space until you attacked. So, to attack you or defend against your attack, you can only do so when you are attacking."
"You're quite experienced," Wang Han said with a smile. "You're right. If you don't have a way to deal with my spatial abilities, you'll only have a chance to attack me when I'm attacking."
"That's really lucky," Whitebeard said with a smile, "because my ability is just right to counter your spatial abilities."
"Tch." Wang Han curled his lip. "Even if you can deal with my spatial abilities, you'll still need to keep up with my speed. And don't forget, I have more than just these two or three abilities. Once I hit you, you've lost."
"Then try and see if I can attack you before you can attack me." Whitebeard laughed and used the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to slam the space around him.
"Crack crack crack crack crack..." The space around Whitebeard's hands began to tremble, as if cracks were appearing.
"Phew." Wang Han breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. It wasn't that space itself was shattered; it was just that the air vibrated and shifted, making it appear as if space itself had been shattered. But thinking about it, it made sense. If Whitebeard truly possessed the ability to shatter space, few native inhabitants of the pirate world would be his match. The spatial rifts created by shattering space would be enough to instantly kill most people, including Logia-type users. Akainu would definitely not have survived a punch from Whitebeard.
"Whitebeard, it seems I overestimated you, and you overestimated yourself too. This isn't space-vibration at all." Wang Han's figure vanished instantly, passing through walls and using his speed boost simultaneously. In the blink of an eye, he appeared beside Whitebeard, gently patting him with his palm. Red runes covered Whitebeard's entire body.
After finishing everything, Wang Han took a few steps back, formed a hand seal, and said to Whitebeard with a smile, "Whitebeard, do you believe me now? It'll only take a minute to kill you. After all, I have more tricks up my sleeve than you can imagine."
"What is this?" Whitebeard stared at the red markings and runes on his body. Not only could he not use his Devil Fruit power, but he was also in pain.
“A seal,” Wang Han said with a smile. “Once you’re hit by this kind of technique, you’ll almost never be able to use your Devil Fruit powers, not even Haki. It’s similar to the Dark-Dark Fruit’s power, except my seal can last much longer, even a thousand years. Of course, a seal isn’t absolute; there are ways to break it. The most direct way is to break it by force, but that might not work.”
"Brute force." Upon hearing this, the white-bearded man laughed.
"Sigh! You definitely can't break the seal I set by force, so you've already lost." Wang Han looked at Whitebeard's smile, sighed, and formed a hand seal, activating the talismans on Whitebeard's body with chakra.
"Ugh." The next moment, Whitebeard was in so much pain that he almost couldn't stand up.
"Father." Marco and Jozu looked at the white-bearded man, who was in so much pain he could barely stand, and were extremely anxious and surprised. However, they didn't act rashly, because they already knew that Wang Han meant no harm.
"Release." Wang Han changed the hand seals, releasing the seal on Whitebeard's body. He laughed and said, "Whitebeard, want to try again? I'll finish you off in a different way."
The runes on Whitebeard's body shattered and dissipated into the air.
"You little rascal, you've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve," the white-bearded man said, shaking his head. "But I'm not coming. Your strength is indeed formidable, and we're not enemies. There's no need to fight any further. We can just go through the motions from now on."
"Looks like I'm not the one who's stubborn as a mule," Wang Han said with a smile, turning to look at the sea. A bloody aura emanated from his body, and with a wave of his hand, huge flames burst into the sky, falling into the sea like cannonballs.
"Bang, crack crack crack crack crack." Whitebeard also unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, simultaneously punching the space beside him. Or rather, the air. This also extinguished Wang Han's flames.
“I know you’ll definitely go back to save Ace.” Wang Han said as he unleashed a massive sword aura with his Miao sword, “I will also participate in the rescue, but before that, I have some things to take care of.”
"Kurarara..." Whitebeard laughed, "With you involved, our chances of winning are even greater."
————————————
"The battle has become even more intense." The departing members of the Whitebeard Pirates watched as the sea of fire and giant waves surged in the distance, with enormous sword energy appearing intermittently and space itself constantly shifting.
