Monstrous waves rolled across the sea from the island in all directions.

Against the background of these waves, Moby Dick seemed like a small boat.

Huge anchors dug deep into the ground, bȧrėly held the ship, and the Pirates of Belous, faced with a fierce gust of wind, desperately grabbed the ropes and railing of the ship.

On the other hand.

Yeruashi\'s ship was also rocking violently on the waves, but it was supported with all its might by the lively water.

It seemed that Yeruashi\'s small Ship was much more stable than the huge Moby Dick of the Pirates of Belous.

Soon, the sea finally began to calm down.

The battle on the island has stopped.

The island was split from the center into five huge pieces and many small fragments.

The pirates of Belous looked anxiously deep into the island.

"Is this the end?"

Thatch, the commander of the 4th Division of the Belous Pirates, whispered with a tremor in his voice, by this time he could no longer maintain calm.

Phew!!

Marco turned into the form of a phoenix and flew deep into the island with all his strength.

In the midst of the colorful phoenix flames, Marco\'s anxious and worried eyes could be seen.

Belous, leaning on Murakumogiri, was standing on the ground in front of a deep abyss, and Yeruashi was floating in the sky, a few dozen meters in front of him.

"Father!"

Marco breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Belous seemed to be in perfect order, but did not hurry to fly up to him, but landed on a rock to the side.

Neither Yeruashi nor Belous paid any attention to Marco who appeared.

Klang!

Yeruashi closed his eyes, trying to feel the aftertaste of a good battle, and then looked at Belous opposite, returning the blade to its sheath.

"That\'s it, Belous."

"A draw is enough."

Yeruashi smoothly descended from the sky.

Volume and concentration are two completely different aspects of the will of weapons.

The will of the armament is the energy that comes from the flesh, and in terms of the strength and endurance of the flesh, no one in this world is able to compare with Yeruashi, so he stands at the absolute top, in terms of the volume of the will of the armament.

But the degree of concentration of his will armament was much lower than that of Garp.

It was like the difference between an ordinary metal and a high-strength alloy.

That is why Yeruasha had room for growth.

He could also bring the degree of concentration of the will of weapons from ordinary metal to a high-strength alloy.

After the battle at the headquarters of the Sea Patrol and the duel with Belous, the degree of concentration of his will of weapons was almost as good as Garp.

Now we can say that even using an equal amount of willpower, as well as lowering the physical strength and speed to the level of Garp, Yeruashi would still be able to resist him in a head-on collision.

The will of the Garp armament represents the peak and limit of this world.

As for the skill of the sword, there was not much progress in it.

Yeruashi, as before, was very close to becoming a Great Master of the Sword, but this level is not just a more effective use of physical strength and energy, but requires a certain understanding and feeling.

This power concerns not only the material, but also the mental level.

It is impossible to directly link the physical strength, soul and other material aspects of a swordsman with his transition to the level of a Great Swordsman.

"A draw..."

Belous whispered.

"Yes."

"You really are the strongest person I\'ve ever met in this world."

Yeruashi smiled at Belous and turned around, stepping in the direction of the island\'s shore.

Belous shook his head, looking after the departing Yeruashi: "... liar."

"You didn\'t go all out in this battle, did you? I feel that you have much more power, but you don\'t use it..."

"This battle was nothing more than honing the will of the armament for you, in fact, I couldn\'t even force you to fight for real, could I?"

Belous whispered, looking at the back of the departing Yeruashi.

Watching Yeruashi\'s battle with Captain John from the side, Belous couldn\'t judge his specific strength, but after the face-to-face encounter, Belous fully realized that Yeruashi\'s strength was like an abyss.

Immense and incomprehensible.

Belous enjoyed this battle, because in recent years there was no person who could make him fight with all his might, but he did not see such emotions in Yeruasha.

This clearly indicated that he simply could not truly awaken Yeruashi\'s fighting spirit.

According to Belous, his title of the Strongest Man in the World was nothing in this battle.

He clearly felt that Yeruashi\'s body contained a terrifying force that he had never encountered in his life.

Even Belous was stunned by this feeling.

As a person standing on the absolute top of the sea, and the holder of the title of the strongest, Belous faced a lot of very strong people.

In the days of Belous \' youth, there was even a man who surpassed him — Captain Rocks.

But since the days of the Rox Pirates, Belous has never suffered defeats, even from the Golden Roger.

He is a person who stands at the absolute top.

It seemed that only the heavens were higher than him.

But today, Belous was surprised to find that this was not the end of the road.

Above such a familiar sky, another one was unexpectedly discovered, and the figure of Yeruashi towered there.

"What is it...your true strength?"

He really wanted to know the answer to this question.

As the owner of the power of Gura Gura no Mi, Belous is able to cause huge damage to the environment with every blow, which is why he often had to restrain himself during battles, so Belous was able to vaguely feel that Yeruashi was restrained much more than he was.

"Maybe you\'ll see it in the future."

Yeruashi said calmly, continuing to walk further and further away.

After a few seconds of silence, Belous said: "All people go out to the expanses of the sea for some purpose."

"Someone does it for the sake of wealth and power, someone for the sake of strength and women, there are even people like me looking for a family..."

"What are you traveling for?"

He was very much interested in the answer to this question.

Yeruashi stopped and turned his head, looking at Belous behind him.

A sky-blue radiance flashed in his eyes, giving the feeling of a boundless starry sky.

At that moment, it seemed that endless time was flowing in the depths of Yeruashi\'s eyes.

"Meet different people and see a different future."

"This is my goal."

The island was plunged into silence.

Diamond Joz, Flourishing Blade Whist, and the rest of the Pirates of Belous, who were watching from the side, were silent.

No one spoke.

After a few seconds, Yeruashi suddenly laughed, breaking up this quiet and strange atmosphere: "Stop asking pointless questions already, aren\'t you going to invite me for a drink?"

«...»

Belous froze for a moment, and then grinned: "Marko, quickly prepare everything....we will have a feast!!"
