Chapter 236: Shaking the World! The Extraordinary Beings' Mental Breakdown

Chapter 236: Shaking the World! The Extraordinary Beings' Mental Breakdown

Zhao Zheng activated the "Immortal Demon Body"!

A power that significantly enhances his strength, but only for ten minutes...

Zhao Zheng now appeared as if a demon lord had descended, exuding an unprecedented aura.

It was as if wherever he stood, the center of the world followed.

Whitebeard was astonished, "Rascal, what Devil Fruit ability is this?"

"It's not just any ability, it's the Demon Fruit!" Zhao Zheng replied.

"This state of mine won't last long, and I'm sure you're in the same situation, Whitebeard. Let's not waste time and settle this quickly!"

Hearing this, Whitebeard burst into hearty laughter.

"Hahaha! Rascal, you're my kind of guy! Let's have a good, clean fight!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Whitebeard unleashed a terrifying slash.

This strike was so powerful that it nearly cleaved the sky in two.

Facing Whitebeard's horrifying attack, even Zhao Zheng, with his steel body, was reluctant to take it head-on.

Although he could have easily blocked it with his Armored Color Domination and his robust steel body...

It would still hurt like hell! Fortunately, Zhao Zheng's speed was exceptional, allowing him to dodge effortlessly.

"Boom!"

Whitebeard's slash, despite missing its target, unleashed a formidable blade aura that swept across, killing every Navy member in its path.

More terrifyingly, the blade aura extended to the Naval Headquarters building, splitting the ground and the building in two...

Even a Vice Admiral who tried to intervene was slashed to death by the blade aura!

It was utterly horrifying!!!

In the instant Zhao Zheng dodged, he counterattacked Whitebeard.

He unleashed a powerful punch, but Whitebeard's agility saved him by a hair's breadth!

However, Zhao Zheng's fist gale maintained its ferocity, quickly transforming into a violent hurricane that surged forward.

As it passed over the sea, it tore the ocean apart, revealing a long underwater passage.

The gale then charged into Whitebeard's pirate crew, instantly disintegrating many of their ships.

Countless pirates didn't even have time to scream before they were torn to pieces.

The outcome was a massive gap in Whitebeard's formation, as the gale continued its relentless path into the distance...

...

In just one move, the two had caused devastating destruction, akin to an apocalypse.

A true battle of gods, with mortals suffering the consequences! Witnessing their brutality, both the Navy and the pirates felt a chill down their spines.

All they wanted at that moment was to stay as far away from these monsters as possible...

"Damn! The old man and that monster are going all out!"

Marco shouted, "All of you who are still conscious, scatter the ships immediately and be cautious of the aftermath of their battle..."

On the Navy's side.

Seeing the headquarters building split in two, Warlord Admiral Sengoku's face darkened with fury.

"We can't let these two continue wreaking havoc!"

Sengoku turned to the nearby Admiral Garp and said, "Garp, I'm entrusting Ace's custody to you for now. Be extra careful and don't make any mistakes!"

Leaving these words behind.

Sengoku ignored the uneasy Garp and leaped into the air, heading towards the real battlefield.

Midway, he activated his Devil Fruit ability, transforming into a colossal golden Buddha.

At that moment.

Zhao Zheng had just exchanged punches with Whitebeard, and the powerful recoil sent them both flying apart.

However.

Whitebeard's massive body retreated seven or eight steps before stabilizing himself with his great sword.

Zhao Zheng, on the other hand, only floated back five or six steps before landing steadily.

Although Zhao Zheng had the advantage of his Bio-Field, it was evident that with the activation of "Immortal Demon Body," he had surpassed Whitebeard in strength.

"Vice Admiral Zhao Zheng!"

A voice from behind caught Zhao Zheng's attention, and he turned around.

Seeing Sengoku's transformed Buddha form, Zhao Zheng was taken aback and asked, "Admiral Sengoku? Is there something wrong?"

Sengoku angrily said, "Are you two planning to destroy this place?"

Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment before realizing that the area where they were fighting was completely devoid of people, and the land was left in a pitiful state.

"If you don't want me to interfere in your fight, Vice Admiral Zhao Zheng, please take Whitebeard to the previous abandoned island and continue your battle there!" Sengoku added.

He knew his request was demanding.

But Sengoku was confident that Zhao Zheng could accomplish this.

As expected.

Zhao Zheng nodded immediately, "I understand."

As his words fell, Zhao Zheng turned his gaze towards Whitebeard.

And of course, Whitebeard had heard what Warlord Admiral Sengoku said, and he burst into laughter, "Sengoku, if you don't want Marineford to be destroyed, release Ace!"

It was evident that Whitebeard lacked confidence.

He never expected that this young man before him would be so difficult to deal with.

Zhao Zheng alone was enough to hold back the "World's Strongest" Whitebeard!

Within the Whitebeard Pirates, Whitebeard was the core and soul of the crew!

Aside from him, the others were unlikely to achieve greatness.

Even the captains, including the Phoenix Marco and Diamond Jozu, could only barely match the strength of a Fleet Admiral.

Now, with Whitebeard held back by Zhao Zheng, the Navy had two more Fleet Admirals, as well as Sengoku and Garp, who were even more formidable than the Admirals...

Could they really rely on Marco and the others to rescue Ace?

It would be a miracle if they didn't suffer a complete defeat.

So.

Despite Whitebeard's imposing aura, he was actually very anxious inside.

He was well aware that his current state couldn't last long.

Once the effects of the drug wore off, his life might very well come to an end...

With this in mind,

Whitebeard clenched his massive fist and activated his Quake Fruit Technique, enveloping his fist in a white energy shield.

He made a threatening gesture as if he was about to strike the ground and said, "Sengoku! If you don't hand over Ace, I'll sink all of Marineford!"

Sengoku's face turned extremely ugly.

He never expected that Whitebeard, a trustworthy and honest man, would resort to threats.

He took Whitebeard's threat very seriously because he knew Whitebeard had the power to sink Marineford with a single punch.

At that moment,

Zhao Zheng suddenly made his move.

"Huff!"

A sound tore through the air.

Zhao Zheng's figure was like a bolt of lightning, quickly rushing towards Whitebeard.

Previously, when Zhao Zheng fought Whitebeard, it was purely a test of strength, and he hadn't utilized his speed advantage.

With Zhao Zheng's current speed, using it now would be an absolute bullying tactic!

Facing Whitebeard's threat, Zhao Zheng made the right choice without hesitation.

Although it was a bit unfair to Whitebeard...

But!

To achieve an SSS-rank mission evaluation in this Spirit Realm, he had to inconvenience Whitebeard and the entire Whitebeard Pirates crew.

...

Seeing Zhao Zheng charging towards him, Whitebeard's eyes widened in shock.

Even though Whitebeard's reaction speed was considered fast, he chose to strike with a punch, but it was no match for Zhao Zheng's speed.

His fist didn't even touch the ground before his massive body was sent flying by Zhao Zheng.

Then,

Zhao Zheng tightly grabbed Whitebeard and soared into the air, flying away at incredible speed.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the horizon.

Warlord Admiral Sengoku was left with a dumbfounded expression!

Not just him...

Akainu: "⊙▂⊙"

Kizaru: "O_o"

Garp: "⊙o⊙"

Marco: "⊙﹏⊙"

Doflamingo: "⊙﹏⊙"

Seven Warlords of the Sea: "⊙︿⊙"

Not a single person could believe what they just witnessed!

The entire Navy: (°ο°)!!

...

Everyone was left speechless.

Wow! In the midst of the battle, the main force had disappeared...

This situation was unprecedented, with no one before or after experiencing such a turn of events.

For a moment,

Everyone was stunned, unsure of what to do next! Especially the Whitebeard Pirates, who were at a loss, feeling leaderless and confused.

It was Warlord Admiral Sengoku who reacted first, immediately ordering, "Capture all the pirates!"

"Zashasuzi, Bepo, pursue the pirates! Don't let a single one escape!"

Upon receiving the order, Akainu and Kizaru fixed their gazes on Marco and the others.

"Captain Marco!" a pirate asked anxiously, "What should we do now?"

Marco glanced at the powerful Navy camp, his face turning ugly.

After a moment of thought, he gritted his teeth and said, "Continue the rescue mission! Old Man Whitebeard will definitely defeat that guy and come back."

Hearing this, the pirates' spirits were lifted.

Although they knew the chances of Whitebeard returning were slim, they had no choice but to believe in this and see it through to the end.

They had already entered the bay of the Naval Headquarters, and there was no time to retreat.

Moreover, the Whitebeard Pirates' code of honor wouldn't allow them to abandon their comrades and flee.

They were truly caught between a rock and a hard place.

...

On the other side,

Zhao Zheng's flying speed was astonishing. In just a few breaths, he had brought Whitebeard to a nearby abandoned island.

In fact,

If Zhao Zheng had chosen to throw Whitebeard into the sea halfway, it would have caused significant trouble for Whitebeard.

Whitebeard couldn't fly and could only use his physical prowess to briefly hover in mid-air. Without a place to exert force in the vast ocean, falling into the sea was inevitable.

Even if Whitebeard knew how to swim, and with his Devil Fruit ability, once he fell into the sea, his chances of survival were slim.

But Zhao Zheng didn't do that.

He wasn't the type to resort to any means for victory.

And Whitebeard didn't struggle.

Perhaps he knew that causing chaos on the high seas would be extremely unfavorable for him...

Although Whitebeard wasn't afraid of death, it wasn't his time to die yet.

After landing...

Whitebeard's face turned extremely gloomy. He glared at Zhao Zheng, his eyes filled with rage.

Zhao Zheng suddenly displayed astonishing speed and flight abilities, taking him away from the Naval Headquarters, effectively cutting off any chance of him saving Ace.

In other words, from this moment on, the Whitebeard Pirates could be considered defeated.

"Whitebeard, don't look at me like that," Zhao Zheng said with a smile. "I know you're angry right now, but don't get too worked up."

Whitebeard didn't speak, only clenching his large sword and staring at Zhao Zheng.

Looking at his expression, he seemed ready to slash the bastard in front of him.

Zhao Zheng continued, "I actually bear no ill will towards you, and I even admire your character. But I'm a Navy now, and stopping you is something I must do."

"If you want to return to the battlefield as soon as possible, then you can only defeat me first!"

"As long as you can defeat me within ten minutes, I'll send you back..."

Upon hearing this...

Whitebeard no longer hesitated and charged towards Zhao Zheng with his large sword.

...

At the Naval Headquarters.

After Zhao Zheng took Whitebeard away, the numerous Navy soldiers felt a sudden relief.

Although the remaining Whitebeard Pirates were still a tough nut to crack, they couldn't cause much trouble anymore.

Marco was entangled by Yellow Monkey and couldn't break free.

Diamond Jozu was enduring the lava punches of Red Dog, barely holding on.

Compared to Yellow Monkey's leisurely attitude, Red Dog showed no mercy.

If it weren't for Jozu's tough skin, he wouldn't be able to withstand Red Dog's relentless beating!

As for Great Swordsman Vista, he was engaged in a confrontation with Hawkeye.

Several powerful captains were also occupied by experts.

The other pirates were surrounded and overwhelmed by the Navy.

In this situation, not only was rescuing Ace out of the question, but even ensuring their own safety became a significant concern.

Many ordinary Navy soldiers couldn't get involved and could only stand by and watch.

At this moment...

A group of Extraordinary Beings were slacking off.

"I still can't believe it. Zhao Zheng... he's so strong?"

"Yeah! He's incredibly powerful! Compared to us, he's on a whole different level."

"Whitebeard, at the peak of his abilities, is already at the King-class level, right?"

"Of course... Damn, I wonder who first spread the rumor that he was a pretty boy. If I find out, I'd like to beat that bastard up. What kind of pretty boy is this strong?"

"I now seriously doubt that Song Haitang's consecutive Divine Evaluations were not due to her own abilities but because of Zhao Zheng!"

"Don't doubt it; it's a hundred percent true. Sigh! We've all been deceived!"

"So, the Krypton Star Bloodline is actually the most powerful talent? I knew it! How could such a rare talent be considered garbage?"

"I believe that once we leave the 15th Spiritual Realm and the news spreads, it will shock the entire Blue Star!"

"Indeed, a King-class powerhouse from the 15th Spiritual Realm is undoubtedly world-shaking news."

"Why did he choose to reveal his strength now after hiding for so long?"

"What's there to ask? He was probably afraid of being targeted before! Now that he's this strong, there's no need to hide anymore. Who would dare to target and snipe a King-class powerhouse?"

"Damn, I'm so envious! Just now, when he clashed with Whitebeard, that aura... it was truly awe-inspiring!"

"Before, many people said that Song Haitang was the most promising candidate to become a Godly Powerhouse, but now it seems that Zhao Zheng is... No! We can almost certainly say that the future Zhao Zheng will be a Godly Powerhouse!"

"That's right. Since Whitebeard can destroy the world, Zhao Zheng, who also possesses the Quake Fruit ability, can definitely do it too!"

"Holy shit! Why is there an earthquake all of a sudden?"

"Don't be surprised. It's probably those two monsters fighting again, and the aftermath of their battle is reaching us."

...

Similar discussions echoed in various corners of the battlefield.

In a team from Beijing University...

An Extraordinary Being suddenly spoke up, "Brother Ma, I finally understand why you always lose to Song Haitang. She has a powerful backer!"

Ma Jun: "..."
