The vibration power contained in the bubble burst out, spreading out in all directions.
Crack! Crack!
Cracks appeared in the air like a shattered mirror, as if the space was about to be torn apart.
Rumble!!
The ground also cracked due to the force of the vibration, and huge cracks appeared with Nagasawa as the center.
The crazily shaking ground also affected the buildings. The buildings collapsed one after another, and the recently peaceful Amegakure turned into ruins in an instant.
The quake covered everything in the surrounding that the giant Water Dragon and the Hanzo's Salamander couldn't hit Nagasawa.
The Water Dragon was struck by the powerful vibration force and dispersed.
The Salamander that was about to attack from underground was injured by the earthquake, and was unable to move.
"Hu… Hu…!"
Nagasawa panted as if he had used up a lot of his strength.
This time, he was still pretending, but not as much as last time, as he really did use up quite a lot of his strength.
The old Whitebeard's physical strength actually couldn't keep up with Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power. Using all of his strength was actually dangerous for him.
It was mostly because of his lifelong injuries and the terminal illness he had. Moreover, he was already old.
Fortunately, the template only gave Nagasawa's physical strength, abilities, and experience. He didn't get Whitebeard's injuries or illness. Otherwise, Nagasawa would not dare to merge with Whitebeard's template.
Although if he obtained Whitebeard's physical strength, he should also receive Whitebeard's injury, he didn't get those disadvantages for some reason. He could unleash more power than the real old Whitebeard.
Although he got Whitebeard's physical strength, using Tremor-Tremor Fruit's ability was too much for his body.
However, in order to make Whitebeard's last battle even more splendid, Nagasawa pushed himself and destroyed Amegakure.
It did not reach the residential area on the outside, just the area around the tower.
There was not a single tall tower in the current Amegakure. It was full of ruins.
"This power..." A hint of vigilance flashed in Obito's eyes. Nagasawa's power was too strong. If he couldn't recruit Whitebeard, it would probably affect his future plans.
Nagato, who was controlling Pain, was also somewhat shocked when he saw this scene.
Although he had a technique that could also have a similar effect, it consumed a large amount of Chakra and would even reduce his lifespan.
Musashi was even more dumbfounded. Compared to Obito and Nagato, he was less knowledgeable and experienced. He had never seen such an apocalyptic scene before.
If he were to sum up his thoughts now, he could only come up with three words.
Pops is awesome!
Hanzo was saddened as he looked at the remains of the village he once ruled. He had even waged war against the surrounding three Great Shinobi countries around him for this village in an attempt to turn Amegakure into the Sixth Great Shinobi Country.
Unfortunately, he failed, and so did Amegakure.
Now, the village was destroyed just like that.
Perhaps it was for the better. Someone might be able to build a better one on top of it.
At this moment, Hanzo's mentality changed. Hanzo threw away his respirator to the ground.
Hanzo held his sickle tightly and said to Nagasawa in a low voice, "Edward Newgate, you are the most powerful enemy I have ever encountered in my life! I wish I could've met you ten years ago."
"Gu ra ra ra ra!" Nagasawa laughed and walked toward Hanzo with Murakumogiri in his arms. He said as he walked, "now is not too late, you know!"
Hanzo sighed and nodded. Indeed, it was not too late. Had it been a few years later, he would've weakened even further.
The two of them began to dash toward each other.
Clank!
The scythe and Murakumogiri collided!
Cling!
Hanzo threw the chain attached to his sickle toward Nagasawa with his other hand.
Nagasawa pushed Hanzo away as he laughed and then swung his Naginata to repel the chain.
"The remnants of the old era? More like the last glory of the Samurai. I didn't expect that someone like you would be one of them!"
Hanzo said in a deep voice as he firmly caught the chain.
In his opinion, Whitebeard was more like a warrior than a Shinobi because Whitebeard had never used Ninjutsu, and he rarely used Chakra. At most, he'd only use Chakra to reinforce and lengthen his sword.
"Gu ra ra ra ra, if Samurai is not a remnant of the past in the current Shinobi world, then what is? The era of Samurai has passed, just like how Hanzo of the Salamander's era has passed.
Nagasawa did not refute and just laughed.
Since Hanzo had given him a more appropriate background, why not?
Samurai was indeed more fitting for the word remnant of the old era.
"Samurai? Aren't they just slightly stronger than ordinary people?" Pain looked at Obito.
Nagato had never left Amegakure. In his mind, a Samurai was no different than an ordinary person in front of a Shinobi.
Because Obito had a lofty ideal, he knew about various places to a certain extent.
"I don't know about the other Samurai, but Land of Iron's Samurais were the remnant of the Samurai era. They possessed extraordinary strength. What you refer to must be the Samurai from other places." Obito explained briefly.
Hanzo gripped his sickle tightly and used his Body Flicker Technique as he charged toward Nagasawa.
Nagasawa suddenly slowed down a lot. At the last moment, he barely managed to react and block Hanzo's attack.
The situation on the battlefield instantly reversed. Hanzo, who had been cornered, suddenly got the upper hand.
This made the spectators feel a bit confused.
Hanzo didn't do anything. Why did the situation suddenly turn around?
"You made a grave mistake. You actually didn't wear a gas mask when fighting with me." A trace of a smile also appeared on Hanzo's serious face.
He knew that even if he defeated Nagasawa, he might not be able to survive today. Akatsuki would not let him go.
By that time, how could he get away from Akatsuki in his exhausted state?
But if he could defeat a strong opponent like Nagasawa before he died, Hanzo felt that it was worth it.
Perhaps because he was doomed either way, he seemed to admit that he had lost, which was why he threw away his respirator.
His breathing mask had two functions. One was to make it convenient for him to move freely in the water, and the other was to prevent the poisonous gas produced by his breath from paralyzing others.
Because he had been implanted with the venom sac of a black salamander when he was a child, his breath was poisonous. At the same time, he also developed a resistance to poison. In order to protect the people around him, Hanzo put on the respirator.
Throwing away the respirator was a sign that Hanzo would fight to the death.
Although that would allow him to gain an advantage in battle, if the poison sac in his abdomen were ruptured in battle, the resultant poisonous cloud released as the toxin vaporized would immobilize him for several seconds.
"Pops!" Seeing that the situation was against Nagasawa's favor, Musashi was quite worried. He was about to join in and help Nagasawa, but Nagasawa stopped him.
"There's no need to. Let us, the relic of the past era, settle it ourselves." Nagasawa stopped Musashi.
"As expected of the legendary Hanzo, you have many tricks up your sleeves." Nagasawa praised Hanzo. Then, he clenched Murakumogiri tightly and prepared to launch an attack.
Of course, he was not poisoned by Hanzo. As a transmigrator, he naturally knew about Hanzo's tricks. He had been delicately controlling his breathing, and coupled with his powerful physique, the venom had no effect on him at all.
The reason why he seemed to be poisoned was only to make Whitebeard's death seem more natural.
