Chapter One Hundred: The Six-Armed Asura (Part Two)

“Asura...”

“As expected! No wonder he carries a bounty of eight hundred million—the new face bearing the title of the world’s most notorious criminal!”

In an instant, the battle began.

Chu Yi summoned the Asura arms behind him, and with both his true body and the Asura arms, he unleashed ‘Divine Push’ in tandem—twofold ‘Divine Push’ crashing toward the island where Whitebeard stood.

The power of the double ‘Divine Push’ swept through the waves, transforming the calm sea into a tempest, as if a miniature tsunami surged forth.

At that moment, Marco, Joz, Vista, and the elite of the Whitebeard Pirates finally understood the meaning behind Chu Yi’s earlier warning.

They had to distance themselves from the arena where Chu Yi and Whitebeard would clash. Otherwise, the mere few thousand meters separating them could easily draw them into the aftermath.

As the Whitebeard Pirates recognized the gravity of the situation and, heeding Chu Yi’s warning, hurriedly steered the Moby Dick away from the battlefield...

A familiar aura suddenly spread from the island where Whitebeard stood, enveloping the surroundings.

Sensing that aura, Marco—who had just been marveling at Chu Yi’s strength—felt his pupils constrict once again. He murmured to Joz and Vista beside him:

“Father is getting serious!”

“That’s... Father’s Devil Fruit power!”

Indeed.

As Chu Yi’s double ‘Divine Push’ swept in, stirring a miniature tsunami, Whitebeard, bearing the same formidable power, smiled and activated his Devil Fruit ability.

The Quake-Quake Fruit.

The strongest of the Paramecia-type Devil Fruits.

Of course, the true power of this fruit depends on its wielder. Otherwise, its title as the ‘strongest’ Paramecia-type could become meaningless, as was the case with previous users before Whitebeard.

The Quake-Quake Fruit’s ability allows the user to freely generate vibrations, adjusting their intensity. In the hands of someone with insufficient strength, its power is hardly enough to harm others. That is why its fame truly began with Whitebeard.

Whitebeard’s mastery of the Quake-Quake Fruit was nothing short of world-shattering.

A seemingly casual punch, amplified by its power, could make the very air tremble, split the sea, and summon vast tsunamis, wiping out countless islands in an instant.

Even Fleet Admiral Sengoku once said: Whitebeard, wielding the Quake-Quake Fruit, possesses the power to destroy the world.

Now, as Chu Yi’s double ‘Divine Push’ triggered a tsunami, Whitebeard, noticing Chu Yi’s nearly identical ability and feeling a sense of rivalry, planted his naginata into the ground ahead. Harnessing the Quake-Quake Fruit, his left fist gleamed with a bright white radiance.

Then—

A sharp cracking sound burst forth!

Whitebeard punched, and the space before him shattered like glass, fissures spidering out, as a terrifying shockwave erupted, obliterating Chu Yi’s double ‘Divine Push’. The force surged onward, causing Chu Yi’s floating figure to sway violently in midair.

“What a domineering Quake-Quake Fruit!”

“What a powerful Whitebeard!”

His body still trembling from the aftershock.

That punch from Whitebeard, empowered by the Quake-Quake Fruit, clearly targeted Chu Yi. The destruction of Chu Yi’s double ‘Divine Push’ was only the beginning. What truly astonished Chu Yi was that the shockwave broke through his attack and penetrated his body completely.

Had Chu Yi’s physique not been so formidable—his flesh, bones, and organs far beyond ordinary human strength—

Whitebeard’s punch could have killed him instantly.

Though now only lightly wounded, the shockwave left hairline fractures in Chu Yi’s ribs.

Yet—

Wiping the blood from the corner of his lips, faced with such a mighty Whitebeard, Chu Yi merely smiled.

And in the next moment—

A crimson gleam flashed in his eyes!

Suddenly, the Asura arms behind Chu Yi split from two into four.

Two solid, powerful Asura arms fully formed. As Chu Yi, with Asura’s remarkable regenerative ability, dispelled the shockwave lingering within his body—

Thunder rumbled!

Both Asura arms unleashed ‘Divine Push’ simultaneously!

Combined with Chu Yi’s own ‘Divine Push’, he raised his power by another level, unleashing triple ‘Divine Push’!

Instantly—

The sound of space collapsing echoed as Chu Yi unleashed triple ‘Divine Push’.

This proved—

The power contained in Chu Yi’s triple ‘Divine Push’ was nearly equal to Whitebeard’s previous punch!

Whitebeard, meanwhile, was caught off guard. He hadn’t expected Chu Yi to recover so quickly and retaliate so fiercely.

So, as he hastily activated his Quake-Quake Fruit, his punch merely neutralized Chu Yi’s triple ‘Divine Push’.

Then, as Whitebeard’s Observation Haki locked onto Chu Yi’s figure once more—

Suddenly!

Whitebeard’s pupils constricted as he saw Chu Yi enveloped in crimson light again!

Now, shrouded in that red radiance, Chu Yi’s face still wore a smile. Wrapped in the glow, the only change was that his two Asura arms transformed into a flurry of afterimages.

The afterimages flickered, and Chu Yi’s Asura arms multiplied from two to four.

Yet four was not his limit!

As the crimson light gradually faded, condensing behind him—

Swish! Swish!

Chu Yi’s Asura arms grew from two to four, and from four to six!

No longer merely the standard Asura form, Chu Yi now stood before Whitebeard as a six-armed Asura!

“Ha, Whitebeard, surprised?”

“Six-armed Asura—this is my strongest form!”

With palms pressed together, a strange vertical pupil in his eyes radiated purple light.

Having achieved his fruit’s ultimate form, feeling the surge of strength from each Asura arm, Chu Yi reveled in the overwhelming power, his smile growing ever broader.

Then, as his smile faded, and his six Asura arms opened their palms—

In the form of the six-armed Asura, Chu Yi was about to use his strongest state, his most powerful ‘Divine Push’, to drag Whitebeard down from the throne of the world’s strongest!

“Asura Path! Secret Art!”

“Tenfold!”

“Divine Push!”
