Chapter 307 Take a step to speak

At this moment when Uchiha Guang was secretly calculating.

The situation on the battlefield gradually began to change.

how to say……

Whitebeard is actually stronger than Kaido. And in terms of mechanism, he is slightly more restrained than Esdeath.

The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit itself has a penetrating effect. When combined with the supreme sword "Kuromoku" and "Ha Chan", the sum of the two can be greater than one. Even if Esdeath activated the "Ice Demon" comparable to Susanoo, it was still difficult to resist the opponent's fierce attack. After a while, the giant made of ice and snow was torn into pieces and was on the verge of falling apart.

under these circumstances.

Esdeath can only fight Whitebeard with a sword in her original form.

But the quality of the long sword in her hand was much worse than that of "Kuromoge". After only a dozen moves, it was directly broken and turned into several pieces that flew far away. She herself was also repelled by the heavy force, and her right hand holding the sword began to tremble violently from the wrist.

At first glance, it seems that Whitebeard has the upper hand.

but……

It was just a moment.

For Esdeath, the fight just now was just an appetizer before the main meal. Although the last fight did hurt her, the impact was limited because only one arm was inconvenient to move. If she had not deliberately adopted a head-on tactic to test Whitebeard's strength, this injury might have been avoided.

but……

For Whitebeard, the series of fierce attacks just now was already close to his current limit.

——After all, he is already over seventy years old, the oldest of the current Four Emperors, and he has been suffering from a serious illness for several years. He was even on the "Modibic" with an IV drip half an hour before the battle.

Therefore, although he burst out with amazing strength in a short period of time, Whitebeard's breathing soon became disordered and his movements became visibly slow. Several places on his body where the needles had just been removed were seeped with dark red blood, dyeing the gauze red.

Uchiha Guang was the first to notice these details.

Esdeath is the second one.

"……Um?"

"Do you have a hidden disease?"

Question to Esdeath.

Whitebeard took a deep breath and laughed loudly: "Gulala, it's just a minor illness, but it's not enough to stop me from fighting. Come on! Let me see your skills. You should have other tricks that you haven't used yet, right?!"

As he spoke, Whitebeard gritted his teeth and chopped a few more times.

Of course, these few slashes were mixed with the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and "Ba Chan", but both the speed and momentum were far from comparable to when the battle just started.

Esdeath also dodged a few times easily, avoiding the oncoming blade, then leaped away from the center of the battlefield.

"That's it for now."

"If you can't maintain the level you just had, I won't be able to enjoy your strength. Go back and get your body in shape before trying again."

"..."

Whitebeard frowned, as if he wanted to say something else.

But Uchiha Guang had already stood up at this time, and with a tap of his toes, he floated lightly into the air not far from the former.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Uchiha Hikaru, the vice-captain of the 'Dimension Pirates'. This is my companion Esdeath."

"Although you may not have heard of our name, our arrival is related to a captain of your fleet, who is also your son... Before we get down to business, eat this first."

Uchiha Guang fumbled in his pocket, then broke something in half and threw it out.

Esdeath caught it, took a look at it, and threw it into her mouth without thinking. Whitebeard, on the other hand, raised his hand to grab it, looked at his palm a little hesitantly, and then raised his head: "What is this?"

“It’s a little hometown specialty.”

Uchiha Hikaru smiled and said, "Why, are you afraid that we will poison you?"

"...People who would resort to such despicable means cannot reach this level of strength."

Whitebeard swallowed the contents of his hand in one gulp.

then……

"?!"

What Uchiha Hikaru threw out was naturally the Senzu Beans.

This thing was extremely precious, and she didn't want to waste it. However, seeing Whitebeard's body oozing blood was a bit scary. He might die early, so she could only give him one to help stabilize his condition.

As the Senzu beans went down his stomach.

Esdeath and Whitebeard's strength is recovering rapidly.

The torn muscles inside the former's arm and the bleeding on the latter's body surface healed in a very short time at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, the old scars on Whitebeard's body did not show any changes.

Moreover, his breath only recovered to a state close to that before the battle, and then gradually stagnated, and he still felt a little weak.

This is also normal.

Senzu beans can heal wounds, but the "injuries" here refer to recent injuries and do not include adult injuries incurred when one is young.

Moreover, Whitebeard probably has some complications such as organ failure in his body, which are beyond the treatment range of Senzu Beans.

but……

Even though the effect is not that outstanding, the appearance of Senzu Beans is still a very surprising thing for Whitebeard who lives in the world of pirates.

"Little ghost, what you just gave me, is it some special medicine? Although I don't know where you got this magical medicine from, thank you anyway!"

After another round of laughter, Whitebeard regained his composure and said, "What did you just say about my son?"

Whitebeard had no partiality towards his many "sons". In his opinion, every son was equally important, except for the traitorous Teach. However, the "captain" mentioned by Uchiha Hikaru made his eyelids jump, and he suddenly had a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Whitebeard's fleet has a total of 16 captains.

At this point in time, the only person whose whereabouts are unknown is probably...

"Yes, it's Portgas D. Ace.

"The captain of the 2nd Division is also the son of Pirate King Roger."

Uchiha Hikaru casually gave the answer, then glanced at the destroyer behind him and issued an invitation:
"One of our crew members is an old friend of his. We happened to learn about his recent situation from somewhere else, so we decided to come and see what's going on... I wonder if you mind speaking to us for a moment?"
