[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You've earned 800,000 negative points!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for obtaining the ability: Tremor!]
[Tremor (Passive): 5% of the damage you deal becomes true damage!]
[True Damage Effect: Cannot be blocked by any form of defense!]
The rewards had arrived.
This also meant that the "treatment" was a success.
Whitebeard had been successfully pulled back from the gates of the afterlife.
But he still hadn't woken up—likely due to his soul being too weakened.
That series of little combo moves earlier probably had some effect on Whitebeard's soul... right?
But it didn't matter. Since the system had already given out rewards, it meant Whitebeard was out of danger.
At this moment, Vir was still a bit stunned as he looked at the rewards he had just obtained.
True damage effect.
Cannot be blocked by any form of defense.
What this meant didn't even need to be explained.
No matter how strong your physical defense was, no matter how overpowered your Armament Haki was—
If Vir land a hit, even Imu's gonna feel the pain!
In the world of pirates, this was an incredibly powerful ability!
Why did battles between top-tier fighters often last for days? Because both sides were just too damn tanky!
But with this ability, in those drawn-out, multi-day battles, it would be like having divine assistance!
At first glance, 5% might not seem like much, but it added up over multiple hits.
And if the hits were fewer, then having high burst damage would also work.
Take his ultra-high burst combo, for example.
The damage from the moves themselves, plus this 5% true damage—
It was absolutely explosive.
And the system had specified: 5% of the damage dealt.
Since charging up attacks could multiply the damage by three, rounding it out, wasn't that basically 15% true damage?
Absolutely broken, unstoppable, overwhelmingly powerful!
Now, even if Garp took one of his Thunder Bagua strikes, he'd probably be crouching on the ground, clutching his head and crying.
And then there were those 800,000 negative points.
From Impel Down to healing Whitebeard, after some spending here and there, he still had 8.76 million Negative Points left.
A very impressive number.
He was practically a Negative Point multimillionaire.
Who knew if this crappy system would upgrade again after hitting ten million?
But that thought was still a bit of a stretch.
It was hard to imagine how this piece of junk could upgrade any further...
Still, with so many points saved up, he felt a lot more secure.
When new items dropped in the shop, he wouldn't have to worry about not having enough points!
This trip had been extremely profitable. As expected of the Summit War—the biggest event in the pirate world.
Bullet's clank-clank, Blackbeard's darkness, Magellan's poison, Marco's phoenix rebirth, Ace's flames, and now Whitebeard's overpowered passive.
Plus these 8 million+ negative points, and if he added in Kuma later...
Tsk tsk tsk.
Absolutely perfect.
Too damn perfect! All the effort he put into preparing for Whitebeard's role in this war was worth it!
In an excellent mood, Vir kicked the now-useless Jozu toy off Whitebeard's face and into the sea.
Right now, he was like a certain pink-haired warlord—use and discard.
Crouching down, Vir was about to check on Whitebeard when—
He leaned his head into the crater Whitebeard's skull had made in the ground...
And came face-to-face with Whitebeard's furious, wide-eyed glare.
Whitebeard's face was... slightly deformed at the moment.
His chin had been "accidentally" stomped on by Vir earlier, dislocating it on the spot.
So now it was a bit crooked.
As for his face... nothing too serious.
Just a couple of butt-shaped imprints on it.
Overall... ugly as hell!
"Uh... you're awake, old man. You had me so worried! I thought you weren't gonna make it, so I used just a tiny bit more force. You're not mad, right—"
*Boom~!*
Before Vir could finish—
*Crack!*
The sound of splitting air erupted right next to his ear!
Fissures spread through the air, nearly reaching his face!
The intense vibrations made Vir's eardrums tremble.
But Vir wasn't stupid.
He had long suspected Whitebeard would pull something like this!
He was already on guard!
The moment Whitebeard threw that quake punch, Vir had already dodged to the side.
The shockwave grazed his cheek and shot straight toward—
Garp, who had been grinning smugly in the distance.
Garp, who had been happily enjoying the show, suddenly felt something slam into his face.
No time to react—absolutely none!
In an instant, he was sent flying at a speed surpassing Soru, blood spraying from his mouth!
Watching Garp sail into the distance, Vir smirked and shook his head.
'Heh, I dodged it, so the unlucky bastard is him!'
'Can't blame me for this, Garp! I didn't stand there on purpose! It was an accident~'
But Whitebeard wasn't done with just one hit!
Right now—both literally and figuratively—he had no face left!
This damn brat had ruined his dignity!
If he didn't beat the crap out of this little bastard today, how could he continue being a father figure to his crew?!
With a furious roar, Whitebeard slammed himself upright—
His right hand already gathering another quake bubble.
Vir broke out in a cold sweat.
All he had done was have Jozu "reincarnate" Whitebeard a bit and give him a slight makeover.
Was this reaction really necessary?!
Finally, the others snapped out of their daze.
The Whitebeard Pirates swarmed toward their captain.
They weren't stupid—they could tell Whitebeard just wanted to teach Vir a lesson.
After all, he'd been messed up pretty badly just now.
But Vir? You really can't hit him.
Because now, he was basically their godfather.
Pops fighting godfather? Who do you side with?
Screw that! Break it up first!
They formed a human wall between the two.
"Pops! It's fine! You still look handsome! Handsomer than Jozu!"
"Yeah, Pops! More charismatic! A little crooked, but it suits you!"
"Pops! If you're still mad, why don't you punch Jozu's face a couple more times to vent? Beating up Vir is no fun!"
"Yeah! I don't mind, Pops! I'll always be your son! No need to change our relationship! You don't have to call me 'Dad'!"
Jozu, while saying this, even tried to rush forward and hug Whitebeard—
Trying to pacify him with love.
But... the result was predictable.
*Boom~! Crack!*
With a deafening blast, diamond fragments scattered everywhere.
Jozu, the man with the strongest defense, was instantly knocked out.
Watching Jozu foaming at the mouth, nose bleeding, and eyes rolled back, everyone gulped.
Jozu... you really had to open your mouth, huh? You deserved that.
But after throwing that punch, Whitebeard suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood—
Then his eyes rolled back, and he passed out again.
