Chapter 220: Chapter 221: Challenge the Four Emperors Jotaro’s action was completely a declaration of war against the Whitebeard Pirates, something almost no one would have expected to happen. After all, in this world, who would have the guts to start a fight with the Four Emperors? But those familiar with Jotaro were not surprised at all. Nami, seeing this scene, covered her eyes in despair, wanting to cry but unable to. "I knew it would turn out like this!" Miss Wednesday glanced at Nami, mechanically turning her head and asking, "Nami, where are you going?" "We should hurry up and run for our lives!" Though she said that, of course Nami couldn’t actually run away. She had long since regarded Jotaro as a companion, so naturally she would not abandon him. She was just a little annoyed that Jotaro always acted without considering the consequences. "That’s the Four Emperors we’re talking about!" ——— Whitebeard took Star Platinum’s punch directly on his face, the force so great it even shattered the deck beneath him, but his body itself was unharmed. The instant he sensed Jotaro approaching, he had already covered himself in Armament Haki for defense. Though his body was fine, the terrifying power behind that strike still startled him. If he hadn’t activated Armament Haki in time, that punch might have rattled his brain into a concussion. "Brat, you’re too insolent!" Whitebeard growled in a low voice. At the same time, he spread his arms and stood tall with pride. BOOM!! Jotaro suddenly sensed the space around him vibrating. Looking down at his chest, he saw cracks spreading across the very air in front of him. "What is this?" In that instant the ground shook, the seas surged, and waves roared. Without hesitation, Jotaro called on Star Platinum to defend. "Ora ora ora ora!!" But the moment Star Platinum clashed with that power, cracks began to form along its fists. Tiny fractures spread outward at terrifying speed. Riiip!! The flesh of Jotaro’s hands split open instantly. Blood gushed out in torrents. ’So this is his ability? To cause vibrations!’ BOOM! Whitebeard’s attack did not end there. Another shockwave burst forth. Jotaro’s arm twisted under the impact, and the sheer force sent him flying. Watching Jotaro get blasted off the Moby Dick, Whitebeard curled his lips into a cold sneer. "Kid, this is what happens when you provoke Whitebeard." But Jotaro did not fall overboard as he wished. "Star Platinum!" Star Platinum hovered behind him, its sharp eyes locking onto an anchor point. At the last moment, as Jotaro lost balance, it slammed its fist into the mast of the Moby Dick. The mast snapped apart instantly, but Jotaro was able to redirect the momentum and shed the force. Though he hadn’t been thrown off the ship, his situation was far from optimistic. "This isn’t good..." Looking at the grotesquely mangled muscle of his arm, ravaged by destructive resonance, Jotaro’s thoughts raced, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. Whitebeard’s power was beyond anything he had imagined. The Devil Fruit he had eaten was simply too terrifying. Whitebeard could control the vibration waves he released, adjusting their frequency close to Jotaro’s body’s own vibrations, amplifying them rapidly, and unleashing devastating destructive force. "Oh? Your arm isn’t completely useless?" For Jotaro to steady himself under that power without falling overboard already shocked Whitebeard. And now, seeing his arm not completely destroyed by the resonance wave made him even more surprised. Whitebeard knew better than anyone just how terrifying the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was. "Could it be that you adjusted your own vibration frequency at that instant?" That was the only explanation, otherwise, Jotaro would never have gotten off with such minor injuries. Whitebeard grew more serious. It was the first time he had faced such a troublesome opponent. In only moments, Jotaro had grasped the essence of his ability. Resonance energy could accumulate endlessly, stacking higher and higher, the longer it dragged out, the more disadvantageous it would be. Jotaro understood this well. That was why he had to defeat Whitebeard in the shortest time possible. Star Platinum fused with his body. Jotaro stomped down hard. The recoil launched him like an arrow, soaring high into the air, shooting straight at Whitebeard. "Kid, I admire your courage, but right now you are not qualified to challenge me!" Realizing Jotaro could counter his shockwaves, Whitebeard couldn’t be bothered to keep using the Tremor-Tremor Fruit on him. After all, they were on his ship. If he unleashed energy recklessly, the Moby Dick would be torn apart. So instead, he directly released his Conqueror’s Haki, intending to finish Jotaro in one decisive move. The Conqueror’s Haki surged from his body like a tidal wave. In that instant, the glow of the world dimmed, the heavens fell silent, and all creation trembled. "What overwhelming Conqueror’s Haki..." Tsuru, watching from afar, was aghast. "He actually forced Whitebeard to this point?" Beside the Moby Dick, blue flame-tipped wings flapped, and Marco slowly landed back on the deck. The others who had been punched away by Jotaro also climbed back aboard in their own ways. Even though they had long since witnessed Whitebeard’s terrifying Haki, they still shivered to the bone seeing it again now. But what horrified them even more was that, in the face of such a torrent of Haki, Jotaro’s expression did not change. His aura was completely unaffected. He did not weaken in the slightest under the intimidation of Conqueror’s Haki. Not only that, his own body erupted with a surging wave of Conqueror’s Haki. In that instant, the two forces clashed at equal strength, deadlocked against each other. "I underestimated this kid... I didn’t think he also had the qualities of a king!" The violent collision of Haki split even the storm clouds gathering in the sky. ’To possess such terrifying Conqueror’s Haki at this age... could he be a born king?’ Whitebeard thought to himself. If this deadlock continued, he himself wouldn’t suffer, but the Moby Dick would be devastated. With that in mind, Whitebeard drew Murakumogiri. His Conqueror’s Haki surged, instantly wrapping around it. Haki infusion, a technique only a handful of the strongest could master. Its power was immense. "Star Platinum!" Jotaro shouted lowly, channeling his Haki through his hand into Star Platinum. The Ripple, serving as the medium between them, burst into dazzling golden light. At that instant, Star Platinum’s form manifested before all eyes, sparks leaping around its body, a deep Haki cloaking its form, like a god descending. "!?!!" Everyone on scene gawked wide-eyed. Marco stared at Star Platinum and muttered, "So this is his ability...?" At last, he understood what had knocked him off the ship earlier. Star Platinum and Murakumogiri clashed. The released energy carved a chilling scar across the Moby Dick. "Stop, boy!" Whitebeard roared, twisting his body, swinging horizontally to block Jotaro. His Haki-infused slash tore open Jotaro’s skin. At that moment, the weakness of range was revealed. For Jotaro to coat Star Platinum in Haki, it had to be in direct contact with him, reducing its effective range from ten meters down to just one and a half. Meanwhile, Whitebeard’s Murakumogiri was over seven meters long, and the Conqueror’s Haki coating extended its reach even further. Jotaro’s Haki infusion was already slightly inferior. Now, with range suppressed as well, he was completely at a disadvantage. Their battle pressed forward at terrifying speed. Even if Jotaro wanted to stop time, he still needed at least a few breaths to prepare. Whitebeard never gave him the chance. ═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═ patreon.com/XenosX ????Joining Patreon keeps me motivated and eager to work diligently, so please consider joining.????
