Rimuru and Ultima Goes To One Piece (Rimuru and Ultima x One Piece)

Chapter 22: Clash of Titans

Rimuru and Ultima advanced through the battlefield of Marineford, their presence sending waves of terror through the ranks of Whitebeard's pirates. Every step they took was marked by destruction. Pirates who dared to cross their path were swatted away like insects, their combined Haki turning the tide of battle wherever they moved. With each swipe, each blow, the two Shichibukai inched closer to their ultimate goal: the world's strongest man, Whitebeard.

"How much longer until we reach him?" Ultima muttered, her voice laced with impatience as she easily sidestepped an attack from a pirate who immediately collapsed under the weight of her Conqueror's Haki.

Rimuru grinned. "Just a bit more. We can already see him."

Through the chaos, the towering figure of Edward Newgate, Whitebeard himself, loomed on the horizon. Even from this distance, Rimuru could feel the immense pressure of his presence—a living legend who stood against the world. Pirates rallied around him, forming a protective wall to stop anyone who dared approach. But to Rimuru and Ultima, this was nothing more than a minor inconvenience.

Whitebeard, from his position on the front lines, observed the battlefield calmly, his deep eyes taking in everything. He saw them—the two Shichibukai cutting through his men like a hot knife through butter. His frown deepened.

"Shichibukai..." he muttered under his breath, tightening his grip on his massive bisento. He could sense their strength, feel the ominous aura surrounding them. This wasn't going to be a simple battle.

Suddenly, Rimuru stopped in his tracks, his gaze locking with Whitebeard's. The tension in the air thickened as if the very world was holding its breath for the upcoming clash.

"Ultima," Rimuru said with a smirk, "looks like we're finally here."

Ultima's eyes gleamed with excitement. "It's about time. I've been itching for a real fight."

With that, both of them launched forward, their advanced Armament, Observation, and Conqueror's Haki activated to their fullest potential. The ground beneath them cracked as they propelled themselves toward Whitebeard, a burst of power that sent shockwaves through the battlefield.

Whitebeard's commanders, sensing the danger, tried to intervene. But Ultima flicked her wrist, unleashing a wave of Conqueror's Haki so strong that dozens of pirates collapsed instantly, unconscious before they even hit the ground.

Whitebeard's brows furrowed. "You two...you're strong."

"Of course," Rimuru replied casually. "But let's skip the pleasantries, shall we? We're here for a fight."

Without another word, they charged at Whitebeard. The sound of their clash was deafening. Rimuru's fist, wrapped in black Haki, met Whitebeard's bisento with an explosive force. Sparks flew, and the ground beneath them shattered under the pressure.

Ultima, with a maniacal grin, leaped in from the side, her armament-infused fist hurtling toward Whitebeard's ribs. But Whitebeard, ever the seasoned warrior, anticipated her attack. He twisted his body, deflecting her blow with his bisento while simultaneously activating his Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

A massive quake erupted from his weapon, sending tremors rippling through the air. The shockwave hit Ultima head-on, but she gritted her teeth, digging her feet into the ground to withstand the force. Her advanced Armament Haki shielded her from the worst of it, but the sheer power of Whitebeard's attack was undeniable.

"You've got some power, old man," Ultima sneered, wiping a trickle of blood from the corner of her mouth. "But you'll need more than that to stop me."

Whitebeard's eyes narrowed. "I've fought stronger people than you, girl."
