"boom!"
The entire island shook. Whitebeard's huge, burly body fell to the ground, and his head was instantly pressed into the ground.
Black and red lightning shot out, and the ground shook violently like ocean waves.
Dust stirred up, covering everything in the blink of an eye.
"Dad!!"
Marco and others' expressions suddenly changed, and they all shouted in worry.
The next second, they were about to jump off the boat and rush forward, but soon, a piece of sand swept in and stopped everyone there.
"This is a fair fight! Do you want to disturb them?"
Crocodile said coldly.
"Crocodale!!"
Marco gritted his teeth.
"Or are you saying that the Whitebeard Pirates are just a group of people who can't afford to lose and are trying to steal their reputation?"
Crocodile sneered.
He stood in front of everyone without any fear on his face.
"asshole!"
Marco roared.
But because of these few words, I could only continue to stand on the boat, staring at the battlefield ahead, waiting for the results to appear.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept out.
"Ku la la la la!"
With loud laughter, the dust quickly dissipated, and a huge figure slowly stood up.
"Marco, daddy, am I such a weak person?"
"A punch like a mosquito bite makes you so worried?"
"Don't let outsiders underestimate us!"
A low, rich voice came out, Whitebeard raised his head, and an invisible powerful breath roared over everyone.
"Dad is okay!"
"Very good!"
Diamond Jozi said excitedly.
But soon, when they saw the face of the figure in the scene, their expressions changed drastically again, and a hint of panic and worry emerged.
"Dad?!"
"Is it really okay??"
Marco trembled.
I saw the figure standing proudly like a mountain in the field. Its head and cheeks were completely covered in blood, and the blood was even dripping down its cheeks.
Anyone looking at this tragic scene would never think that nothing was wrong.
"It's your turn, Whitebeard!"
Immediately afterwards, another figure in the field said calmly.
Everyone's eyes looked at Xia Le again.
He folded his hands and his face was stained with blood, but this man's eyes were as bright as the sun, as if burning with fire.
"This monster!"
Diamond Jozi gritted his teeth.
Whitebeard clenched his fist, jumped up high, and then punched down.
"boom!"
The air wave vibrated out, but Xia Le did not fall to the ground this time, but his head tilted and his waist also bent.
"The last punch wasn't as hard as it was!"
"Like scratching an itch."
Xia Le grinned.
"Change!"
Whitebeard laughed.
Then Xia Le punched, and the same wave of energy vibrated.
"What's wrong? Boy, just scream out in pain. The power of this punch is also greatly reduced!"
Whitebeard scoffed.
"Soon, your mouth won't be so tough!"
Xia Le said.
The two punched each other one after another, and the sound continued. Every time they punched, they would despise the opponent's fist and state.
"You can't hold on anymore, can you? Fall down! Xia Le!"
"Haha, Whitebeard, your head is not as tough as your mouth."
"Ku la la la la, my strength is too weak."
"So do you, Newgate!"
"······"
The people watching were trembling with fear.
"These two people!"
Marco took a breath and his eyes changed.
They knew very well that it seemed that both sides were in good condition, but it was not impossible for the two of them to fall down at any time.
Visible to the naked eye, as the injuries on these two people became more and more serious, their strength became less and less.
But even so, the two still persisted, and neither one of them gave up first, and they were engaged in a decisive battle of punching each other.
"Punch to the flesh, this is a battle between men!"
Diamond Jozi clenched his fists and said.
Time passed and it was already the night of the second day in a blink of an eye.
The two men were still pumping their fists, and there was a series of shaking sounds on the island.
At this moment, everyone watching the battle felt sincere admiration for these two stubborn and persistent men.
"They have all been severely injured, but they are still persevering."
"Both dad and Xia Le are incredibly powerful!"
"The body, spirit, and will are far beyond us!"
Marco exclaimed.
Face to face, a head-on confrontation, this is a test for both sides.
Time continues to pass.
The frequency of the earthquakes on the island is weakening, but every once in a while, there are still sounds.
And this also means that both parties are still insisting.
In a blink of an eye, it was the morning of the third day.
"Admit defeat, Whitebeard!"
"Your eyes are blurred!"
Xia Le grinned.
"What a joke, who do you think I am?"
Whitebeard snorted coldly, then retorted with sarcasm.
"Look at your eyes, they're so swollen that even Garp can't recognize them!"
"I'm afraid your sons won't recognize you when you look like this!"
Xia Le scoffed.
From a distance, both of them looked like they had bruises on their noses and swollen faces. Their entire faces were almost distorted and looked purple and blue, their eyes were swollen, and there were bulges on their heads.
And this was only visible from his face. Marco could tell from his father's condition that his ribs had also been severely damaged internally.
Of course, Xia Le also felt uncomfortable.
Crocodile held one cigar after another in his mouth, his eyes always staring at the field.
Of all the people present, he was the one feeling the most uncomfortable at the moment. From the time he met Xia Le until now, he had never seen him like this.
What made him tremble even more was that this duel was entirely due to his stupidity.
"Xia Le, you shouldn't have come!"
"Just let me bear my mistake alone!"
There was a glimmer of water in Crocodile's eyes, and something inexplicably filled his heart, making his nose feel sour.
In the blink of an eye, the time came to noon on the third day.
The two people in the field were still punching. They had reached their limit, and the intensity of their punches was completely incomparable to yesterday.
Even after a punch is thrown, it takes a while before the next sound is heard.
Even after falling down, it takes a long time to get up.
But what is shocking is that this duel is still going on.
The sun sets and it's nighttime.
"How's it going? Whitebeard, have you suffered enough from my fists?"
Xia Le grinned.
But as soon as he moved, he bared his teeth and grinned. His face, limbs, abdomen, and whole body were all in burning pain, as if there was no complete place.
"Are you kidding, you brat!"
"I have a white beard!"
Whitebeard stared, and kept inhaling in pain.
"Keep going, I won't lose to you!"
Xia Le said.
"Come on, will I be afraid of you?"
Whitebeard yelled.
After about four or five breaths, two bursts of laughter came out at the same time.
Marco, Crocodile and others all looked incomprehensible. As bystanders, they naturally felt the sympathy between the two people in the battle.
This is a complex emotion that only strong people of the same level can have.
They recognize each other, are not convinced by each other, and at the same time want to defeat each other!
"Evenly matched."
"Their spirit, will, and combat effectiveness have all reached the same level."
"It's too difficult to decide the winner. It's only possible after all your physical strength is exhausted!"
Marco sighed.
Everyone else nodded silently, also realizing that it was not easy to determine the winner of this battle.
From the beginning of the war, the two men showed equal fighting power. In the middle, the battle plan was changed and a men's duel began with physical fists.
Even so, it is still difficult to distinguish who is strong and who is weak.
The night passed quickly, and on the morning of the fourth day, the first ray of sunlight shone down.
Everyone waited for a long time, but there was still no familiar shaking sound.
Looking closely, everyone's eyes suddenly widened!
"it's over!"
"The war is finally over!"
"Wait, those two people!"
But soon, when the dust cleared from the scene, they were shocked again.
I saw two figures facing each other in the field, like two mountains, standing there steadily, and no one fell down.
This shocking scene left everyone speechless.
After a long time, Marco finally came to his senses and stepped forward to check.
"Not even conscious, passed out!"
"All their physical strength and energy are exhausted."
"But even when they reach their limit and their consciousness is lost, their bodies still stand on the ground like instinct, not allowing themselves to fall."
"What a strong competitive spirit!"
"In other words, they are unwilling to lose to each other."
Standing silently around the two of them, all the cadres of the Whitebeard Pirates had expressions of shock and admiration.
Then, they stepped forward and carefully helped dad up and carried him back to the boat.
Crocodile supported Xia Le and looked at the others in front of him solemnly and warily.
"This is the strongest battle in the world, and it ends in a tie!"
"We, the Whitebeard Pirates, are not people who take advantage of others' danger."
"You take him away!"
"but!"
Marco's eyes grew cold.
"If we meet on the battlefield next time."
"We won't show any mercy, then."
"It will definitely be a life and death battle!"
Crocodile was startled, then smiled and said: "I will not hold back on you either."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately picked up Xia Le and ran towards a ship on the other side of the island that other men had already snatched.
The two waves of people soon separated, and a battle that shocked the world ended in a draw.
"Quick! Get out of here right now!"
"Pirates are never trustworthy!"
Crocodile immediately shouted in a low voice after boarding the ship.
The other men around him quickly started the ship after hearing this.
After the ship sailed for about two hours, Crocodile looked around and saw no other Whitebeard Pirates ships before he let out a breath.
"These guys are quite trustworthy."
It was also at this time that Xia Le, who was lying there on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Whitebeard is not such a bad guy."
"Laosha!"
Crocodile turned his head, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "I woke up so quickly!"
"I'm just a little tired, just take a rest for a while!"
Xia Le gritted his teeth and sat up.
The next second, he suddenly moved his right hand, pulled out the long knife from his waist, and wiped it towards his neck.
Crocodile was stunned, and the pupils of the men who were watching shrank.
What is this for? !
