"This is bad. Pops is about to unleash his full power. Everyone be careful and dodge properly. If you get caught up in this, you will die," Marco said, his expression changing dramatically.
A thick layer of white light surged over Whitebeard's fist.
The white glow looked gentle and soft, yet it radiated an incomparably dangerous aura.
This was the world's strongest power, the power said to be capable of destroying the world. The Tremor Tremor Fruit was about to activate.
The punch had not even been thrown yet, and the air itself had already begun to vibrate endlessly.
Rosinante felt an intense sense of danger from that fist.
An extremely solemn expression appeared on his face as a will of eternal silence slowly spread outward from his body.
Under the influence of that eternal silence, the world lost its color, turning into a hazy gray-white expanse.
As Rosinante's strength increased, the awakening of the Silent Silent Fruit could finally be used freely.
Seeing Whitebeard activate the Tremor Tremor Fruit, Rosinante knew he could no longer hold anything back.
He directly released the power of his awakened Devil Fruit, and in an instant, heaven and earth lost all color.
What is this?
This is practically changing the sky and the earth.
Is this Dragon King Rosinante's ability?
No wonder he can stand shoulder to shoulder with Pops and be called a Sea Emperor. This ability is terrifying. I can feel the pressure of the entire world crushing down on me.
This is bad. This power suppresses Devil Fruits far too strongly.
All the Whitebeard Pirates stared at their surroundings in shock. They wanted to shout something, but no sound came out. They could only exchange stunned looks with one another.
My power is being suppressed? And this pressure… is this Devil Fruit awakening? Even Whitebeard showed a look of surprise.
The power of eternal silence naturally countered vibration. That was beyond doubt. Not just vibration, but gravity, resistance, friction, any form of force or energy would be restrained.
However, suppression was relative. While the silent power suppressed vibration, the vibration was also consuming the power of the Silent Silent Fruit.
Whitebeard bared his teeth in a grin as the vibration energy in his hand grew stronger and stronger.
Within the colorless world where no light should exist, a white glow began to shine from Whitebeard's hand as he increased the strength of his vibration.
Then Whitebeard swung his fist down at Rosinante with overwhelming force.
This was completely different from twenty years later. In the future, a single punch from Whitebeard would at most shatter the air.
But at his peak, this punch did not just shatter the air. Even space itself trembled.
In front of his fist, it was as if invisible glass was shattering. Layers upon layers of formless vibrational force surged toward Rosinante, so powerful that even he was left utterly shocked.
The air fractured, space twisted, and extreme vibration stacked layer after layer of force upon itself.
The power produced by this punch was beyond imagination.
Only now did Rosinante truly understand why Whitebeard was called the strongest man in the world, without anyone daring to object.
This world was filled with powerful figures. On the surface alone, the Marines had Kong, Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, and others. The World Government also possessed countless hidden powerhouses.
Across the world, no one knew how many monsters still lay concealed.
Yet none of those true powerhouses ever disputed this fact.
In a world where might reigned supreme, even the slightest hope of defeating Whitebeard would have been enough for someone to challenge that title.
And yet no one did.
Because they had witnessed this despair-inducing power.
They had seen attacks that made all other seem insignificant by comparison.
Only then would one wholeheartedly acknowledge that Whitebeard truly was the strongest in the world.
Under this punch, Rosinante's colorless domain shattered like glass.
Layered force crushed down upon him, as if it intended to shatter everything in existence.
This power that crushed all before it filled one with despair. This was the Tremor Tremor Fruit.
But Rosinante was not someone who would wait for death. He raised his hand and threw a punch of his own, striking directly into the crushing vibrational force.
At the same time, the backlash pressure of the colorless world surged entirely toward Whitebeard.
Even so, the endlessly stacking force pushed Rosinante backward against his will.
"I refuse to believe it. Silence it for me!" Rosinante roared as he resisted with all his might.
As he shouted, waves of eternal silence poured from his body, continuously muting Whitebeard's vibrations.
Yet no matter how much Rosinante silenced, Whitebeard's vibration rose to match it. Whitebeard's power seemed endless.
"Ha!" Rosinante crazily gathered every ounce of power into his fist, determined to punch back this crushing force. Even the will of eternal silence surged entirely into his fist.
The colorless domain around them rapidly shrank and disappeared.
Not because Rosinante had run out of strength, but because all of his eternal silence had been concentrated into his fist.
As that will gathered more and more densely, a faint purple glow slowly emerged around Rosinante's fist.
The moment that purple light appeared, it erased all energy it touched. Even the oncoming vibrational force was wiped away.
Yes, wiped away. Not silenced, but completely erased.
Silence merely caused energy to halt and sink into stillness. But this purple light annihilated energy altogether, making it vanish entirely.
Seeing this purple glow, even Whitebeard's face filled with shock.
Amid that shock, the two fists collided.
One carried white light, the other purple.
The two fists crashed together.
The white and purple lights intertwined, then vanished.
There was no sound. No vibration.
Both the white light and the purple glow disappeared without a trace.
Only afterward did the shockwave from the collision of their fists erupt, sending everything around them flying.
"That was close. I nearly died. Old man, you went a bit too far," Rosinante said as he raised his head.
"Kurararara. So this is the power of the Silent Silent Fruit?" Whitebeard asked, his eyes narrowing.
"Silence? Maybe. But I think this power is better called annihilation," Rosinante replied.
"What was that just now?"
"He actually caught Pops' attack. That was the strongest attack in the world!"
"I didn't see it wrong, did I? Rosinante's power just now actually erased Pops' ability?"
"A power that erases everything. That's terrifying."
Only then did the members of the Whitebeard Pirates finally react, exclaiming in shock.
