Chapter 99: Ace Arrives!
At this moment, some of the Whitebeard captains began to sense something was wrong.
The enemies they were fighting weren't going all out—they were holding back, carefully restraining their own abilities.
Take the one fighting Vista, for example. A powerhouse with overwhelming Armament Haki and incredible muscle strength. Yet instead of attacking, he used his Haki purely for defense, sacrificing speed and offense to become an impenetrable wall.
Vista found it frustrating. His elegant swordsmanship was being rendered useless. Though he himself wielded Armament Haki, none of his slashes could break through the man's ironclad defense.
And Jozu? He had it worse.
The opponent facing him was absurdly fast. Jozu's famous diamond-hard body could take hits, but he couldn't land any of his own. All he could do was endure blow after blow.
...
The other division commanders were in similar predicaments.
It was like this whole enemy force had been assembled specifically to counter the Whitebeard Pirates.
And the scariest part?
