After transforming into a giant, and now combining it with Bullet's Unión Armado ability...

An idea so absurd it bordered on delusional suddenly popped into Daren's head.

"Kahahaha! I've got it!!"

Just as Daren was spacing out, Bullet's eyes lit up and he burst out laughing.

"This is our blood-pumping combo move, Daren!!"

A blood-pumping combo move!!

Daren's eyes lit up as well.

No way...

His heart started pounding wildly.

A Gundam—that was every man's dream!

"Hahahahaha! Let's do it, Bullet!"

The gigantic Daren let out a booming laugh that thundered through the void, rumbling like distant stormclouds and even drawing arcs of black lightning into the sky.

Whitebeard, still bracing himself with both hands on the black greatsword, suddenly felt his chest tighten, his face flashing with alarm.

A combination technique!?

His mind flashed back to his time with the Rocks Pirates—Charlotte Linlin and that brat Kaidou were always scheming up some kind of joint attack...

Those terrifying moves that could level everything within dozens or even hundreds of kilometers.

Don't tell me... these two brats came up with something like that too!?

At that thought, a cold sweat broke out across Whitebeard's back.

"Let's go!!"

With a thunderous shout, Bullet leapt into the air, landing once again atop Daren's head. The power of the Gasha Gasha no Mi activated instantly.

A pale purple energy wave rippled outward as the metal on Daren's surface suddenly bristled like dragon scales and launched into the air.

The fragments quickly reassembled, melted, and fused in midair, wrapping around Bullet's body.

A warlike, blood-drenched aura pulsed outward with the forming energy, and even Whitebeard felt his nerves tighten from the pressure.

Twisting... morphing...

Then, rapidly "forging" into a very... peculiar shape.

Whitebeard's expression froze. The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Daren stood rooted in place, stunned.

"..."

"..."

"Kahahaha!! What do you think?! This is the fruit of our teamwork, Daren!!"

Bullet's triumphant laughter shattered the awkward silence.

Sitting atop Daren's giant head was now a bizarrely shaped structure.

A massive military green base was embedded into his forehead like an aggressive-looking "military cap."

And on top of that cap... was a giant black heavy cannon protruding outward.

Daren: "..."

"This is my masterpiece! Unión Armado—Ultimate Faust!!"

From inside the cannon, Bullet beamed with pride.

"Perfect for covering your lack of long-range firepower!"

From a distance, the towering giant now had a uniquely shaped cannon mounted on its head. It looked... downright ridiculous.

After a brief silence,

"I get the cannon part, but why did you have to make it green?" Daren asked through gritted teeth.

He sounded like he was forcing every word through clenched jaws.

"What's wrong with green?" Bullet asked, genuinely confused.

Just then—

"You damn brats!! Have you finished screwing around yet?!"

Whitebeard's furious roar exploded like thunder.

He was the strongest man in the world—yet these two brats were fooling around in the middle of a battle with him!?

Not even in his worst dreams had he imagined being underestimated like this!

Rip! Rip!!

Uncontainable rage erupted from his chest. Whitebeard's eyes narrowed as an overwhelming wave of power surged from his body.

Black and red lightning twisted and roared around him, rapidly surging up the shaft of his naginata, Murakumogiri.

Wrapped in Conqueror's Haki, his muscles bulged like flowing magma. Gritting his teeth, he roared and shoved forward!

The mountain-sized giant was actually forced back several steps.

Daren's expression changed instantly.

Gritting his teeth against the full force of Whitebeard's Haki, he swung his blade sideways once more.

The black greatsword ripped through the air, carving a massive trench in the ground as it surged forward with overwhelming force.

Whitebeard's bloodshot eyes locked on, and he too stepped forward, sweeping his naginata in a horizontal arc.

Clang!!

Two blades of vastly different size clashed in midair. Black and red energy surged wildly as if thousands of bolts of lightning were tearing the sky itself apart. The void twisted violently under the pressure.

"Die!!"

Whitebeard's eyes burst with a terrifying crimson light as his aura surged wildly.

Conqueror's Haki—fully unleashed!

A blood-red blade of energy shot into the sky, forcing Enma to stagger back from the sheer force.

"Leave it to me!!"

Bullet immediately took control of the massive cannon and fired a thunderous blast!

Boom!!

The force of the recoil sent Daren's giant head jerking back, making him momentarily dizzy.

A massive cannonball, over ten meters in diameter, streaked through the sky like a meteor trailing fire, aimed straight at Whitebeard.

Whitebeard's eyes flashed red again as he instantly locked onto the projectile's path. Gripping his naginata with both hands, he slashed out!

Shing!!

The blade flickered.

The enormous shell was cleaved cleanly in two, the split halves exploding in a distant mountain range, sending flames roaring into the sky.

The intense heat and shockwave from the blast outright flattened two peaks, each dozens of meters high.

Feeling the overwhelming impact from behind, Whitebeard's eyelid twitched slightly.

That kind of power...

These two brats weren't just playing around!

With firepower like that, they could easily level an entire country—or wipe a whole island off the map.

But even so...

"With just that kind of power, you think you can kill me—Whitebeard?! Not even close!!"

High above, the aura surrounding Whitebeard turned into crackling black-and-red lightning, frantically converging on his naginata.

"Die!!"

His white captain's coat whipped in the wind as he raised his Supreme Grade blade and slashed downward with all his might!

"Murakumogiri!!"

"Crap!!"

Bullet and Daren's faces twisted at the same time.

Without hesitation, they both instantly deactivated their abilities.

Their bodies shrank rapidly.

Whoosh!

The crimson slash barely grazed past them, tearing through the air, slicing through the distant Torikago, and plunging deep into the far-off sea.

On the coast, those locked in combat didn't even have time to react before they were horrified to witness a smooth, bottomless trench suddenly carve itself across the ocean's surface.

It stretched from the nearby shallows all the way to the horizon—kilometers, possibly even dozens of kilometers long!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The next moment, three figures came crashing down from midair.

Whitebeard, panting, stared at the cloud of dust ahead—only to see those two brats taking up a strange stance.

"That old man's completely lost it... This just got tricky, Daren..."

Bullet's breath was ragged, his voice hoarse.

"This wouldn't have happened if you hadn't held us back, Bullet."

Daren was breathing heavily too, clearly annoyed.

"Tch... Then I guess we've got no choice but to use that move."

Bullet growled, indignant.

"Yeah... This is Whitebeard, after all."

The Vice Admiral's sigh echoed through the air.

The wind blew away the swirling dust.

What came into view made Whitebeard's pupils shrink to pinpoints.

The two brats were standing shoulder to shoulder, knees bent, ready to unleash.

Their arms were cloaked in dense, jet-black Armament Haki—cold and hard as steel—crackling with visible black lightning.

Their eyes burned with unrestrained madness and defiance.

"This... looks familiar..."

Whitebeard's heart sank like a stone, his expression turning grim.

In that instant, a terrifyingly concentrated wave of destructive aura erupted from the two of them—locking onto him with lethal precision.

This was... a blow that couldn't be avoided!
