Chapter 663: Ten Thousand Restraints
"Boom!"
The terrifying Power of Tremors caused the air to vibrate.
As if time paused, Möbius's rapidly moving body was affected by the Power of Tremors.
Intense vibrations spread throughout his body, causing Möbius to instantly lose control over his body.
Around Whitebeard's body, terrifying Power of Tremors erupted.
If one were right beside Whitebeard, their body would likely be unable to move due to the terrifying Power of Tremors.
Möbius knew he had been careless.
As soon as Whitebeard got serious, his opening was seized.
Just a single instant was enough for Whitebeard.
A punch coated with a silver-white halo directly struck towards Möbius.
This time, Möbius could no longer evade.
Immediately, countless Black Sinews erupted from within Möbius's body, wrapping around Möbius's body and transforming into a Black Cocoon.
Terrifying destructive power landed upon the Black Cocoon.
The intense Power of Tremors seemed to want to tear Möbius's Black Sinews apart.
However, the powerful toughness of the Black Sinews was not directly damaged by this.
Under Möbius's control of his Devil Fruit ability, he promoted the restoration and growth of the Black Sinews, resisting the destruction brought by the Power of Tremors.
Part of the Power of Tremors was guided, following each Black Sinew, circling the Black Cocoon.
Passing directly through from behind Möbius.
The strength of Whitebeard's punch was weakened.
Yet, it still possessed powerful Power of Tremors that passed through the Cocoon, through each Black Sinew, and landed on Möbius's body.
Only then did Möbius clearly realize how powerful Whitebeard's destructive power was.
One by one, Black Sinews suddenly drilled out from the Black Cocoon, shooting towards Whitebeard like long guns.
At such close range, Whitebeard was simply unable to evade.
Under absolute Haki defense, the Black Sinews immediately wrapped around Whitebeard's arms and limbs.
The powerful strength made it difficult for Whitebeard to break free.
When Möbius's figure appeared again.
Whitebeard's body was already entwined by the sinews, which resembled giant pythons.
Möbius's strong sinews, after coating with Armament Haki, each possessed extraordinary strength and toughness.
Intense tremors might be able to split the great earth, tear steel apart, and cause mountainsides to collapse.
Yet, it was difficult to break a single rope.
The Devil Fruit Ability of the Muscle-Muscle Fruit, and the powerful flexibility of Möbius's body, inherently possessed a resistance to the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
Although the Power of Tremors was not weakened, it could not cause significant damage to Möbius, entirely within his endurance limit.
And now, Whitebeard was countered.
Black Sinews surrounded Möbius's body like armor, while the Black Sinews shot out branched continuously, transforming into thousands of strands wrapping around Whitebeard's body.
The strength possessed by a single Black Sinew might be limited, but what about a thousand?
Three thousand?
Or even more?
His limbs were all restrained.
The powerful strength made it difficult for Whitebeard to break free.
He was even lifted off the ground, forcefully pulled up into the air.
His entire body was completely wrapped, making it difficult even for his arms to move.
Including his neck, leaving only his head exposed.
This is Möbius's primary fighting style.
Facing Strongmen, whether in close-quarters or long-range battle, Möbius would seize the opportunity to control the enemy's body.
Once caught in this predicament, it was equivalent to becoming a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, completely without the power to resist.
Before leaving the Kronos Kingdom, he had tested this on many Strongmen.
Those who could break free were simply few and far between.
Even the current Army General Zoro was completely without the power to resist.
Because he simply could not exert his strength, nor could his swordsmanship be brought into play.
Now, many years later, Möbius's strength is even greater than before.
Currently, the only ones who can block this move of Möbius are Logia-type Devil Fruit Users, who can evade the restraint through elementalization.
However, even in a head-on great battle, Möbius is equally fearless.
"How can this be?"
Whitebeard's current posture made it seem as though he had already been defeated, his entire body completely controlled.
Möbius's ability couldn't help but make everyone feel extremely apprehensive.
Even other Strongmen were thinking, if they faced Möbius themselves, could they break free from such a restraint without blind spots?
As for evading, it was simply impossible.
Möbius's speed was too fast.
The answer is no!
Möbius's ability could almost be said to be unsolvable, the bane of any Martial Arts Expert.
Unless one avoided a head-on battle with Möbius.
But who could guarantee that what Möbius was currently exhibiting was his full strength?
At the very least, Möbius's long-range battle would not be weak.
Although Möbius hadn't revealed many abilities, these were enough.
Especially the Marines, they actually knew even more.
At the Sabaody Archipelago, even more people had personally witnessed the strength Möbius exhibited.
Defeating the strong with the weak was not a difficult matter for Möbius.
"Truly worthy of being Hades's Son."
Facing this situation, Whitebeard's face actually revealed a smile.
Even though he had said it once before, Whitebeard still had to say it now.
Because, whether it was Kasa or Möbius, they were simply too outstanding, practically flawless.
"However, you brat, now let this old man teach you what awe is!"
As soon as Whitebeard's voice fell.
The air became terrifyingly oppressive.
From Whitebeard's arms, Power of Tremors erupted that was terrifyingly many times greater than before.
Möbius frowned, sensing danger, and felt even more unease in his heart.
Black Sinews intertwined and wrapped around, strengthening the strength of the restraint under Möbius's control.
However, Möbius's pupil suddenly contracted.
His Black Sinews were trembling.
Whitebeard, having become completely serious, possessed strength that destroyed everything, completely exceeding the endurance capacity of Möbius's Black Sinews.
One by one, the Black Sinews snapped.
Möbius hadn't expected that Whitebeard would actually tear apart his restraint with absolute power.
Kasa's Distortion Power further strengthened.
Whitebeard became his primary target.
He had to control the destructive power generated by Whitebeard.
"This little fellow is certainly worthy of pride. Whitebeard has truly used his full strength."
No one understood Whitebeard's strength better than Sengoku.
The strength Whitebeard used to break free from Möbius's restraint completely reached the level he used during his great battle with him.
That destructive power that destroyed everything, few people on the World Government's side besides him could withstand it.
Being able to achieve this, isn't that enough to be proud?
Equally outstanding was Kasa, whose ability to limit the spread of Whitebeard's strength, how could such an ability be lacking?
The Black Sinews rapidly underwent restoration.
Möbius still maintained absolute composure.
Facing Whitebeard who had broken free from the restraint, his body had just intended to move.
Whitebeard's punch already struck down.
"Dong!"
Shattered space.
Terrifying shockwaves descended from the sky.
Like a great bell falling, enveloping Möbius within it.
For Whitebeard, Möbius was indeed difficult to deal with.
In order to regain face, Whitebeard not only used his full strength, but also used the Future Sight ability of Observation Haki.
By the time Möbius adjusted, Whitebeard had already appeared before him.
Möbius wanted to repeat his old trick: Black Sinews forming a great cocoon for defense, and thousands of Black Sinews attempting to wrap around Whitebeard's body.
Even if he couldn't completely restrain him, he could still interrupt Whitebeard's attack.
Möbius's imagination was beautiful.
But reality?
The terrifying Power of Tremors tore apart the Black Sinews one by one.
The same move was already ineffective before Whitebeard's even greater strength.
"Boom!"
Möbius's entire body was wrapped in Armament Haki, and thousands of Black Sinews were wrapped around himself.
The terrifying, irresistible strength sent Möbius flying directly away.
