Chapter 196 If You Don’t Learn to Be Domineering, Don’t Even Think About Getting Past It!

"Bang——"

With a loud bang, Luffy's head was torn apart by a domineering blow, and blood splattered.

After flying back dozens of meters, Luffy felt as if he was about to faint, but the obsession of rescuing Ace in his heart made him hold on and try not to fall into a coma.

Enduring the severe pain and dizziness, Luffy struggled hard for a long time before he could barely stand firm. He did not stop, but gritted his teeth, forced himself to be energetic, dragged his scarred body to change direction, and continued to stagger forward.

"I told you, if you can't learn domineering, you can't move forward!"

Xiao's devil-like cold and ruthless voice suddenly came from behind Luffy, shocking him so much that he trembled all over and almost instinctively dodged in a certain direction.

Luffy, who narrowly avoided Xiao's fatal attack, shouted at him with his eyes wide open: "Stop joking! Who wants to learn Haki from you? Get out of my way! I'm going to save Ace!"

"Hehehe... Interesting, you can actually detect my attack and react. It seems that your observation Haki has been initially awakened.

However, this skill is far from enough! Take it - this time the Haki is twice as powerful as before. If you can't stop it, your mind will bloom directly!"

Xiao let out a sinister and weird laugh, and the already extremely rich black Haki in his hand instantly became deeper and deeper, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a heart-pounding purple-black color.

Then, Xiao shouted: "Second base!"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao swung the baseball bat covered with purple-black Haki and hit Luffy's head hard.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a huge sonic boom cloud suddenly exploded above Luffy's head.

Poor Luffy had no time to make any defensive moves, and was once again knocked out by the violent force.

This time, he flew straight in the direction of Whitebeard who was about to break through the encirclement and climb onto the square.

"Teach!"

Whitebeard roared, holding Luffy tightly with one hand like an iron clamp, and the other hand clenched into a fist, staring at Xiao from afar with cold and sharp eyes.

Then, he slowly loosened his grip on Luffy, letting Luffy, who was exhausted and confused, lie on the ground to receive treatment.

However, facing everything in front of him, Xiao seemed to be unaware, still holding the baseball bat, steadily blocking the road to the execution platform, quietly waiting for Luffy to stand up again.

He knew that Luffy had an extremely strong willpower. As long as the belief in his heart had not been wiped out, he would never easily succumb to difficulties, and fate would always help him stand up.

"Teach~"

However, Xiao did not wait for Luffy's counterattack. Instead, Whitebeard dragged the huge naginata - Kusukumokiri, and rushed over like a burning meteor.

The white shock wave was wrapped around the blade like a substance, and it chopped down towards Xiao fiercely with unparalleled power.

At this time, Xiao's attention was focused on Luffy and the fate he carried, watching how fate played tricks on him, and he didn't pay any attention to who was rushing over.

Therefore, when Whitebeard's attack was approaching, he almost instinctively stretched out two fingers, accurately pinched the falling naginata, and swallowed up the powerful shock wave attached to it.

"What are you doing~~~"

However, when Xiao saw clearly that the person coming was Whitebeard, he fell into silence instantly. The whole scene became silent because of this sudden change, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.

At this critical moment, when he was about to be exposed, Xiao suddenly had an idea.

The next moment, a familiar shock wave suddenly emerged.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a strong explosion broke out in front of Xiao. The huge impact force made Xiao fly backwards like a cannonball and slammed into the navy camp.

In an instant, Xiao's figure was shrouded in endless darkness, disappeared in front of everyone, and hid again.

"It's true!" Seeing this, the pirates breathed a sigh of relief, including Whitebeard himself.

They couldn't help but secretly rejoice: "I said, that damn guy Teach, how could he withstand the full force of his father so easily? It turns out that he used some means to delay the attack!"

In fact, just seeing his powerful blow being easily taken by the opponent, Whitebeard couldn't help but feel a little desperate in his heart.

Fortunately, when he saw Teach being blown away, he realized that it might be because the opponent's extremely special devil fruit had the ability to absorb energy.

However, this ability obviously has certain limitations. The power that cannot be fully digested and absorbed is eventually released in the form of an explosion, knocking Teach away.

Although he still has doubts in his heart, Whitebeard has no time to think about it at this moment.

He has only one thought in his mind - to save Ace at the cost of his life and lead the children home safely.

So, Whitebeard raised the heavy naginata in his hand again without hesitation and charged towards the execution platform without hesitation.

Every time he swung the huge and heavy weapon, it would release a shocking shock wave, knocking countless navy soldiers away, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

"Guhehe, if you don't want to die, just rush up!"

Whitebeard laughed in a low voice, and the naginata in his hand was once again wrapped by the shock wave. The surrounding navy retreated in fear for a moment.

Whitebeard chopped down the naginata in his hand again with a little pride. Although he was old, his prestige was still there.

However, at the moment when the shock wave was about to explode, a foot that turned into magma quickly fell and crushed Whitebeard's shock wave with one foot.

"If you continue to act recklessly, this island will be destroyed!"

Akainu stepped on Whitebeard's naginata and suppressed it with a calm expression. His arm turned into a lava fist and rushed over with unparalleled momentum.

"Lava kid!"

Not to be outdone, Whitebeard shattered the atmosphere with one punch, relying on the strong shock to block all the lava and attacks.

The two powerful forces of red and pale collided with each other, the earth was shaking, the air was hissing,

Just the strong wind caused the officers and pirates present to retreat one after another, fearing that they would be swept into the wind pressure and crushed into pieces.

The battle between the top strong men, the weak ones did not even have the qualifications to watch, the collision of the two top forces of the navy and the pirates.

Directly pulled the battle to the climax, everyone was driven to fight with all their strength, and began to kill each other.
