Chapter 167 - Thunder beasts!

Suddenly, bolts of lightning flew from Nicholas's godlike figure toward the thunderclouds above, beginning to connect with the thunderclouds in the sky.

"Beast Horde!"

With a raise of his right hand, followed by a fierce swing toward Whitebeard in front of him, the thunderclouds in the sky lit up, and then from within the thunderclouds, it seemed as if the roar of a beast was emanating.

The charges roaming in the thunderclouds quickly converged, forming thunder beasts in the blink of an eye as the potential difference between positive and negative charges formed, and thunder quickly generated. Then, quickly outlined, in an instant, they formed into thunder beasts, creatures emanating lightning, charging toward Whitebeard on the ground.

"Roar!"

"Boom boom boom boom!"

A series of deep roars, accompanied by thunderous rumblings, echoed in the sky above the island.

At this moment, Whitebeard also stopped in his tracks, standing still and looking up at the thunderous sky filled with thunder beasts, his gaze solemn.

Without a doubt, while these thunder beasts were not formidable individually, now with thousands upon thousands of them, they posed a considerable threat even to him.

With high destructive power lightning, if only for a short time, he could easily withstand the attacks.

But as someone who had fought long battles on the open sea like Whitebeard, his combat instincts were sharp. He could clearly sense that, in this state, after Nicholas established a connection with the thunderclouds in the sky, the thunder attacks he emitted did not consume much of his stamina. His only task was to guide the massive thunder stored in the clouds to manifest as a horde of thunder beasts charging toward him.

Once the thunder beast horde formed, unless all the thunder in the clouds was exhausted or Nicholas was dealt with, it wouldn't stop.

"Roar!"

At this moment, one thunder beast after another moved, roaring towards Whitebeard.

"Clang!"

With lightning flashing, the thunder beasts were already in front of Whitebeard, viciously attacking.

But Whitebeard's movements were equally swift. At his peak, his strength was terrifying. With a sweep of his naginata, he directly cut down dozens of thunder beasts.

However, after cutting down ten, there were twenty more thunder beasts rushing forward, and it seemed they were coming relentlessly.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

Accompanied by the thunderous charge of the thunder beast horde from above, the thunder echoed deafeningly above the island, and lightning flickered on the island, illuminating the surroundings. Some sea creatures that hadn't had time to leave this area appeared on the sea surface, belly up.

"Phew!"

After punching a thunder elephant, Whitebeard's eyes flashed with a touch of anger. At this moment, he had already lost his shirt, and his pants were also a bit tattered, all destroyed by the thunder beasts just now.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

Soon, under the continuous assault of the thunder beast horde, Whitebeard was injured. One or two thunder beasts didn't matter, but when dozens, even hundreds of thunder beasts' attacks arrived, there were inevitably gaps in his defenses. After all, those thunder beasts he had dispersed had already formed a small area of intense electric field around him. Although he couldn't be said to be completely paralyzed, but due to the stimulation of lightning, his movements had undoubtedly slowed down.

With lightning flashing, every thunder strike from the thunderclouds above made the island shine brightly.

Even Whitebeard, a flesh-and-blood being, when continuously bombarded by such high-intensity lightning, would still get hurt.

"Dad!!"

The people on Whitebeard's pirate crew suddenly panicked. When had they ever seen Whitebeard in such a sorry state?

"Wow hahaha, what an amazing battle! Gaban, quickly pull up that octopus over there, I want to have sashimi tonight."

With his terminal illness alleviated, Roger's mentality had obviously improved a lot, pointing to the octopus floating on the sea surface similar in size to Oro Jackson and shouting loudly to Gaban.

"Tsuru, what do you think?"

In the Marine Headquarters, Zephyr looked at the scene of the beast horde charging towards Whitebeard and asked Tsuru beside him in a deep voice.

"I can only say that the abilities of the top-notch Devil Fruit users in the logia series are like moving disasters. Let's have Garp focus on cultivating that young man called Kuzan whom Garp found."

"I'll communicate with the Fleet Admiral later. Those two Devil Fruits sent by the World Government should also strengthen the reserve strength of the Marines now that the situation in the sea is turbulent."

Putting on his glasses, Zephyr said. The Devil Fruits sent by the World Government should have been given to the young talents in the Marines a long time ago, but because of the influence of Dragon, it was delayed until now. Now, with the turbulent situation in the sea, the Marines indeed need reinforcement.

In the jungle, Nicholas watched as Whitebeard was submerged in the horde of thunder beasts.

At this moment, Whitebeard, enveloped in lightning, suddenly looked towards Nicholas through the thunderclouds.

Then, he directly inserted the halberd into the ground.

His sturdy arm reached out, and with a tug like that of a tiger's claw, the space in front of him suddenly shattered, cracks appearing and spreading toward the distance.

Nicholas widened his eyes in shock, looking at the shattered space in front of him. It seemed as if it had split apart, and Whitebeard had directly torn apart the space!

Nicholas's heart was filled with horror, and at the same time, he quickly retreated.

He didn't want to try the sharpness of the cracks in the space with his body.

"Phew phew!"

After a while, the shattered space gradually restored, and Whitebeard's heavy panting also came from afar, evidently the move just now had taken its toll on him.

"Wow hahaha, what a delightful battle! Nicholas."

Even after being repeatedly injured by Nicholas, Whitebeard still laughed heartily.

Because, besides Roger, Garp, Zephyr, Sengoku, and a few others, he now had another opponent with whom he could engage in such exhilarating battles!

Boom boom boom!

The thunder resounded from the sky, and Whitebeard's towering figure was already in front of Nicholas, the naginata swinging down heavily.

"Nicholas, lets Enjoy the battle!"

Whitebeard roared like thunder, shaking Nicholas's ears with pain. At the same time, the naginata, carrying terrifying vibrational force, came crashing down.

Nicholas's expression changed, and he reached out with both palms towards his head, seemingly intending to directly catch the blade with his bare hands.

"Boom!"

As the naginata descended, there was a loud explosion between the two of them.

Instantly, a vast force erupted, spreading to the entire island.
