New World, Dressrosa Kingdom!
At this very moment, as the strange scene in the sky unfolded before everyone's eyes, the entire crowd held their breath, their gazes filled not only with shock but also with apprehension.
When the young figure appeared, it immediately commanded the entire audience's attention. Even the fearsome Emperors, renowned for their might, couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
One of the Four Emperors, Big Mom, wore a look of utter disbelief! Given her status as a seasoned powerhouse in the New World, it was only natural that if a young upstart challenged her, she would strike back fiercely. But now, despite being one of the Emperors, Big Mom was frozen mid-air, unable to move!
Because she had realized, in horror, that when the terrifying figure of Shiro appeared below, not only did her attacks come to a halt, but she also lost control over Zeus and Prometheus!
How could this be possible?
"Come!" Shiro's voice thundered, and before he had even finished speaking, Zeus and Prometheus were surrounded by lightning and flames, swiftly flying to his side. These two powerful 'weapons' of Big Mom now cowered before Shiro as if they were loyal pets, bowing in submission to a king!
"You insolent brat, how dare you!?" Big Mom roared in fury, her anger boiling over. Even though she was a long-standing powerhouse among the Four Emperors, how could she let a mere youngster insult her?
"Gurararara, Linlin, you're in a battle with me, and you still dare to be distracted?" Whitebeard's hearty laughter echoed through the air, sending chills down Big Mom's spine.
But before she could react, a space-tearing attack struck her directly, sending her massive form reeling as if she had taken a severe blow!
Whitebeard then unleashed two more powerful punches from a distance, and on the other side, Kaido of the Beasts and Red-Haired Shanks tried to move to Big Mom's aid, only to be blocked by Shiro's young yet unyielding figure.
Though Shiro appeared somewhat youthful in front of Kaido and Shanks, his presence gave him the strength to stand his ground against two Sea Emperors without flinching!
"What kind of brat are you to appear on these seas!?" Even Kaido, with all his arrogance, couldn't help but express his surprise when facing Shiro.
While he and Shanks stood against Shiro, Kaido couldn't shake off a sense of unease, a sensation of danger he hadn't felt even from legends like Oden or Whitebeard!
Could it be that Shiro's power had already surpassed even that of Whitebeard at his peak?
"Kaido, hold him off for me!" Shanks, as the orchestrator of this battle, reacted quickly. He knew that if Big Mom were to be incapacitated or even killed by Whitebeard, they would have no chance to stop him from disrupting the world's balance entirely.
Three against two. Even with Shiro's immeasurable strength, the combined might of Shanks, Kaido, and Big Mom seemed sufficient to subdue both him and Whitebeard!
"You think too little of me, Shanks, and far too much of yourselves, the so-called Four Emperors!" Shiro sneered.
Yet Shanks and Kaido were not the kind to be intimidated by mere words. As seasoned warriors, they understood the threat that Whitebeard posed. With Big Mom trapped, their priority was clear: prevent her from falling into Whitebeard's hands and losing the advantage.
As the battle raged on, Shiro remained calm, his eyes burning with a fierce desire to fight. Despite the pressure from Kaido and Shanks, he exuded confidence, having used the past months to push his limits and grow even stronger.
Kaido transformed into his fearsome dragon form, unleashing a roar that shook the kingdom of Dressrosa. His massive jaws opened wide, ready to devour Shiro, while Shanks unleashed his potent Conqueror's Haki in a powerful assault!
"Bring it on!" Shiro's battle spirit flared even higher as he faced the onslaught of these two emperors.
In response to the challenge, Shiro clasped his hands together, causing the ground beneath Dressrosa to tremble violently.
"Wood, Thunder, Wind, Fire—Heavenly Transformation: Buddha!" he roared.
With a deafening crash, a colossal Buddha emerged, towering over the land. The sight left the onlookers in awe, from the pirate crews to the civilians witnessing the clash. Even Kaido's dragon face twisted in shock.
They had all forgotten one crucial fact: this young man before them was the very same who had single-handedly razed Marineford, the former Headquarters of the Navy!
Kaido's mighty dragon attack was halted mid-strike by the enormous Buddha, whose single hand stopped the beast in its tracks. Even Kaido, in his gigantic form, seemed small before this monumental deity.
Meanwhile, Shanks' expression tightened as he took in the sight before him. He had thought Shiro's use of the Buddha technique would drain him, but Shiro stood steady, not even the slightest bit fatigued!
Just as Shanks began to doubt his plan, a wave of Haki as potent as his own crashed toward him.
"Shanks, I'm going to show you that your beliefs are wrong!" Shiro declared.
The two clashed swords in a battle of sheer will and strength, the sheer intensity of their duel stunning everyone around them. Even the strongest members of the Emperor crews were left speechless.
One man, standing alone against two Emperors! The might of the Central Authority was truly beyond comprehension!
