Chereads / One Piece: The Odyssey of Portgas D. Ace / Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Blue Hole!

Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Blue Hole!

As Garp's words echoed, the purple-black flashes in his pupils took form, roaring out like a tempest. Terrifying purple-black lightning materialized, illuminating the atmosphere. Countless bolts converged on Garp's right fist, which had transformed into a purple-black mass. The force seemed imprisoned, coiled tightly around his fist.

Ace watched, awe-struck, as this menacing purple-black energy stirred his own Conqueror's Haki.

"Watch it, Ace!" Garp's voice cut through the tension.He leaped dozens of meters into the air, ensuring he wouldn't harm Ace.

His right fist descended, and the imprisoned energy burst forth like a liberated beast king.

"Boom!"

The purple-black energy swept across the atmosphere, unleashing violent power that shattered the earth. The ground crumbled like fragile tofu, fragments rising and turning to ash. Garp grinned. "Blue Hole!"

Ace stared at the ravaged earth and the lingering purple-black lightning. Was this the power Kaido spoke of—the Conqueror's Haki entanglement that surpassed all? Though he'd seen it in the original work, experiencing it firsthand was entirely different. It truly was a force to be reckoned with.

But then, darkness enveloped Ace. Suddenly, he stood in a dense forest. A warrior-like figure staggered backward, pushed by a purple-black slash.

Kozuki Oden?

Ace couldn't believe it. This scene…

"Damn it! What's happening? I can't accept this!" Kozuki Oden, defeated by the slash, roared in defiance and charged forward again.

"Whoosh!"

But before he could reach Ace, a tall figure emerged from the woods, halting Kozuki Oden in his tracks.

"Here he comes"

Whitebeard! Edward Newgate! Had he finally arrived?

Ace's laughter echoed, eyes flashing crimson. The red hue seemed to infuse his famous sword, 'Ace.'

"Boom!"

The violent purple-red Haoshoku no Haki surged around him. With a single step, he crushed the ground beneath his foot.

"Roger!"

Whitebeard laughed loudly, his aura enveloping the famous sword "Murakumogiri."

"Boom!"

Ace and Murakumogiri clashed, their supreme sharp blades meeting in midair. The island trembled under the impact.

"They didn't touch at all!"

In the distance, Kozuki Oden strained to open his eyes amidst the collision of energy.

"Hahaha!"

The two men's Conqueror's Haki surged unrestrained, shattering the atmosphere. Lightning danced, earth fractured, and the sea churned. Roger Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates alike were overwhelmed.

And even the sky seemed to tear apart in this entangled confrontation of Conqueror's Haki.

Conqueror's Haki—a clash that defied the very fabric of reality.

"Call!"

The next second, the screen shattered, and Ace's perspective returned to the Nameless Island. "Your understanding is incredible. Through visualization, you've grasped the essence of the Conqueror's Haki—the entanglement!"

"Your understanding is incredible, indeed. Witnessing 'Garp's Fist - Blue Hole' has allowed you to comprehend the depths of the Conqueror's Haki! - 'Flame Ring - Blue Hole'"

In my mind, two lines of text slowly emerged, a testament to the profound insight gained from the clash of titans.

"Hahaha, my strength has really declined a lot!"
