Chapter 59 - Chapter 58 The Strongest Man in the World

The classic gacha animation appeared.

Qi Yan started to get nervous.

The panel screen still flickered with starlight, constantly converging in the starry sky.

Qi Yan's eyes were fixed on the screen: blue, green, white, blue, green, green, white, blue... The first few were almost not worth looking at. He had pretty much figured out the system's pattern for purple and gold draws; if a ten-pull had purple or gold, they would all appear at the very end.

And based on his gacha experience, the best result for a ten-pull was one gold and one purple. The probability of hitting the jackpot was still very low; two out of ten cards would definitely make him a chosen one.

"Purple! Purple! Purple!"

Qi Yan prayed that the second to last card would be purple. If it was purple, then the last one had a high probability of being gold. Even if it wasn't gold, getting two purples in one ten-pull wasn't a loss. As for two golds, he hadn't even considered it.

If the second to last card wasn't purple but blue, then the last card could be blue, purple, or gold.

Blue!

Seeing this color, Qi Yan's heart sank. Now he could only gamble on the last card.

"Gold! Gold! Gold!"

Whoosh—!

A golden light lit up from the horizon, falling like a meteor.

"It's gold—!!!"

When Qi Yan saw the golden light, he jumped up excitedly.

Half a year! It had been a full half a year!

He hadn't seen a golden legend in half a year!

Did he know how he had spent the last six months?

Working diligently every day, only to not see gold in forty pulls. He almost thought he had hit an achievement, like 'Pity Master' or something.

He had started to doubt if his luck had run out.

Now it was proven: he was still a chosen one.

It was just that he must have picked the wrong time.

"System, speak!"

"Speak? What should I say? Getting gold in 50 pulls, Host, are you proud of that?"

"..."

Uh, he got a little too arrogant by accident and told the system to speak again.

At this moment, the card-drawing animation ended, and the cards began to flip.

He didn't need to look at the first nine cards; they were all experience packs, and he wouldn't recognize them anyway. The focus was still on the last card.

Soon, the last golden character card flipped over.

When Qi Yan saw the character's image on the card, his eyes widened.

"It's him!"

This was an extremely tall and burly old man, wearing a black bandana on his head, his upper body bare, with strong muscles and large scars.

He wore light yellow pants, black boots, a black cloth belt around his waist, and a white coat with a red lining, holding a huge bisento very similar to a Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

The most striking feature was his iconic upward-curving, crescent-shaped white mustache.

That's right!

It was none other than the man known as the 'Strongest Man in the World' from the Pirate King world—

—Whitebeard Edward Newgate.

"White... Whitebeard!"

Seeing this person's image, Qi Yan recognized him at first glance. If one were to pick the most unforgettable character in the Pirate King world, Whitebeard would definitely be on the list.

At the Marineford War, the power Whitebeard displayed still left a fresh memory for Qi Yan.

It could be said that the Marineford War was the peak moment in the Pirate King anime.

To counter Whitebeard, Marineford went all out, deploying Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Marine Hero Garp, the three Marine Admirals—Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji—the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Pacifistas, and 100,000 Marines.

Even with this setup, Akainu still treacherously deceived Squard into backstabbing Whitebeard at the start, severely wounding him.

Fighting against the three Marine Admirals while severely wounded, he ultimately died in battle, but the demeanor of the Strongest Man in the World was fully displayed.

The only regret was that this was not Whitebeard's peak state.

Of course, from later story developments, it could be seen that even a peak Whitebeard would undoubtedly be defeated by the Marineford War's Marine lineup.

The World Government was unfathomable. Not to mention the legendary T0 Im, even the Five Elders' individual strengths were only slightly weaker than an Admiral's, and there was also the God's Knights, each possessing immortality. The Whitebeard Pirates had no chance of winning.

Yet, even so, an old man who needed tubes just to live, bravely stormed Marineford Marineford to save his son without fear.

He truly was Pops!

"I hit the jackpot! I really hit the jackpot this time!"

Qi Yan clenched his fists excitedly, shouting and cheering.

He now had four golden character cards.

Ulquiorra's overall strength was quite good, capable of fighting, tanking, and super-speed regeneration, plus a super ultimate move like Lanza del Relámpago. But even with all that, he could only be described as 'quite good.'

In the later stages of the Bleach anime, there were many characters stronger than Ulquiorra.

Tsugikuni Yoriichi was a character with a huge gap between his upper and lower limits. In terms of energy level alone, Tsugikuni Yoriichi could be said to be the weakest.

Sun Breathing Technique was the strongest breathing technique in the Demon Slayer Corps world, but it only enhanced physical abilities and added a burning effect to attacks.

The enhancement was still very limited; pushing a giant rock was the most it could do, something many minor characters in the Pirate King world could even do with a rock of similar size.

Tsugikuni Yoriichi's true strength lay in the 'Transparent World' and his unparalleled swordsmanship.

With the enhancement of magic, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's strength could be said to have received an epic boost. His single-target burst attacks could even break dragon scales and severely wound giant dragons, with lethality even more terrifying than the World's Strongest Swordsman Mihawk in the Pirate King world.

However, in terms of his own attributes, Tsugikuni Yoriichi was still the lowest, especially his defense, which was pitifully low. If he was accidentally hit by a regular magic attack, he could be severely injured.

He was a character who completely abandoned his own defense for extreme offense.

Fushiguro Toji, on the other hand, was the opposite of Tsugikuni Yoriichi. Fushiguro Toji's basic attributes were maxed out, reaching a level that Sun Breathing Technique, no matter how profound, could not achieve.

His lower limit was terrifyingly strong; he was a terrifying combat machine. He once almost killed Gojo Satoru with a single slash, assuming Gojo Satoru was dead and not finishing him off. After all, it was hard to imagine someone surviving with their head pierced. He was ultimately counter-killed by Gojo Satoru, who had mastered Reversed Cursed Technique, and was taken offline before the main story began.

Whitebeard was different. He inherently possessed monstrous strength, top-tier three types of Haki, and the strongest Paramecia Devil Fruit—the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Strength, speed, defense, attack, Devil Fruit ability—all MAX!

A true super all-rounder.

In the Pirate King world, filled with powerful individuals, he could still be called the 'Strongest Man in the World.'

He was even evaluated by Fleet Admiral Sengoku as a man capable of destroying the world.

Undoubtedly, this was the strongest golden character card Qi Yan currently held.
