Chapter 437: 438 Experimenting New Ability
"This... this is..." Kaido, Big Mom, Aokiji, and Enel were all stunned because Whitebeard's attack possessed both thunder and vibration attributes at the same time.
When Whitebeard used his vibration power, it usually produced white light waves. But now, instead of light waves, there was a swift and intense white light on the lightning.
Whitebeard could also control the direction of the vibration force through the lightning, making it easier for him to use.
"Oyaji, how did you do that?" Enel asked in confusion.
"Guurarara, it's simple. I can use your fruit power now. I've named this new technique 'Thunder Vibration.' What do you think?" Whitebeard smiled, pleased with himself.
"'Thunder Vibration'—it's a prestigious name. But Oyaji, will you need my lightning in the future, or can you just keep using this move?" Enel asked.
"No need for more lightning from you. Once absorbed, it stays with me forever. I can combine and use it whenever I want," Whitebeard explained.
Seeing Whitebeard's new moves, both Kaido and Big Mom were astonished. They were shocked to find out that Whitebeard had a hidden card.
Kaido thought, 'Whitebeard seems to have endless abilities. How many more does he have hidden?'
Big Mom wondered, 'Every time I see Whitebeard, he reveals even greater strength. Does he have any limits?'
Neither of them knew the answer.
"Alright, Aokiji, let's see what happens when we fuse your abilities. Use your Devil Fruit power to attack me," Whitebeard said.
"Okay,"
Aokiji agreed. He then released a blast of cold air at Whitebeard. Whitebeard swallowed the cold air, then fused it with his own power before releasing it.
A powerful freezing force was quickly released, creating a strong impact as it burst into the open space. The cold spread out, and after the fog cleared, Whitebeard saw that the area was left with a large, round pit.
"This is an ice burst!"
Whitebeard was surprised. He hadn't expected this. After merging with the Vibration power, the freezing ability had transformed into an ice burst effect. The resulting blast was much more powerful than just freezing.
It was as powerful as the previous Thunder Vibration. The cold fog created was so dense that it instantly blocked visibility, reducing it to less than two meters within a 100-meter radius.
"Guurarara, this is really interesting," Whitebeard said with a smile.
"It's too strong, Oyaji, can you fuse any fruit power? I can't wait to see how you fuse other fruit powers." Enel said expectantly.
"It's not possible with any kind of fruit,"
Whitebeard replied, looking at Kaido, who has Zoan devil fruit. Zoan fruits transform the user's power internally, not externally. He can't absorb Kaido's power like that.
So, this absorption fusion cannot merge the power of Zoan-type fruits, which focus on internal transformations.
"However, Linlin's fruit power could be very interesting after fusion." Whitebeard looked at Linlin. Her Soul-Soul Fruit allows her to separate and eat human souls.
If this unique ability is combined with Vibration power, what kind of effect will it create? Everyone present, including Whitebeard, was eager to find out.
"Linlin, Whitebeard has spoken. Release your power quickly," Kaido urged Big Mom, eager to see more of their combined abilities in action.
"Of course I know; I don't need you to remind me." Big Mom shot Kaido a glare, then stepped back and used her Soul Focus ability.
When Big Mom uses this move, it instantly steals the opponent's soul if they feel fear, causing them to die. It's a terrifying ability.
However, this move has no effect on Whitebeard because he's not afraid. So, Big Mom never used her soul power against him before.
Whitebeard quickly absorbed the fruit power and then released an invisible impact. This power affects the soul and the spirit, rather than having a physical form.
Everyone present felt the impact and clutched their heads in pain. Whitebeard realized this was a soul vibration attack—an undefendable move that could easily cause mental breakdowns.
However, the drawback is that the soul impact is indiscriminate and cannot be directed at a specific person. As a result, everyone present was affected when Whitebeard used it.
Kaido and Big Mom were somewhat affected but managed to endure, while Aokiji and Enel were knocked to the ground by the force. Fortunately, Whitebeard quickly stopped the attack.
Even after stopping the attack, Aokiji and Enel still felt lightheaded. The soul impact had a big effect on their mental state, making recovery much harder than healing physical injuries.
"This is terrifying, Whitebeard. If you use this power against us, the outcome will be decided quickly," Big Mom said in shock. She hadn't realized her fruit power could be so much more frightening in Whitebeard's hands.
This kind of soul Vibration is even more effective than Haki. It can easily disrupt someone's mind. With controlled strength, it can make people dizzy or, in severe cases, cause mental breakdowns and death.
This skill also shocked Kaido. He realized that his previous idea of defeating Whitebeard was too naive. Such thoughts shouldn't even exist for a moment!
"Fusion is really a powerful ability," Whitebeard said with satisfaction. Then, they prepared to return.
When Whitebeard returned to the Flower Capital, he was warmly welcomed. People from other parts of Wano also came to the city to thank him.
"Look, Whitebeard really defeated Kaido!"
"Yes, Whitebeard saved Wano. We can look forward to a better future!"
"And he also defeated Big Mom. She's still alive, but she, along with Kaido, tried to defeat Whitebeard and failed."
People on the street welcomed Whitebeard and quietly discussed his victory, with Kaido being led behind him.
