Whitebeard: "Gurarara! I feel Dagu said nothing wrong, Marquis."
Whitebeard: "Or are you saying you want to battle this old man?"
One Piece world—Whitebeard's eyes also carried slight displeasure.
He was the World's Strongest Man, Whitebeard!
Same level as him—was this unacceptable to Voban?
Though during this period he'd spent more time on these stinking brats, didn't mean his strength hadn't progressed at all.
Marquis Voban merely broke through some so-called status. Even if able to improve—how much improvement could occur in this short time?
Perhaps stronger than him, but absolutely limited.
Most Ancient Godslayer: "Do you know what you're saying, Whitebeard?"
In the Campione world, Marquis Voban also frowned.
Most Ancient Godslayer: "Did this old man consecutively losing to Madara Uchiha and Holy Lord make you mistakenly believe this old man's strength has declined to your level?"
At these words, the chat group instantly fell silent.
Even in reality, Su Yunxiao and others couldn't help holding their breath, nervously yet excitedly watching the chat group situation.
Marquis Voban's words were practically pointing at Whitebeard's nose saying "Where do you get the confidence to think you can compare with me?" With Whitebeard's pride—absolutely wouldn't tolerate this.
Both were their respective worlds' top-tier powerhouses. Though strength had differences, their pride was equivalent.
Who would sincerely think the opponent was stronger than themselves?
What was weak wasn't themselves—but their world systems.
So next would definitely be a battle full of firelight and blood—from words to bodies!
Just when everyone anticipated this situation's occurrence, one person stood forth.
Uchiha Dance King: "Meaningless disputes between the backward."
Uchiha Dance King: "Rather than time saying these meaningless words here, better to hurry and strengthen your own power."
Uchiha Dance King: "Does Dagu's words being right or wrong matter? You don't think he's praising you, do you?"
Uchiha Dance King: "Look at your strength—can't even beat Dagu."
Naruto world—Madara Uchiha, arms crossed, proudly watched the clash between Marquis Voban and Whitebeard in the chat group. This utterly meaningless behavior simply made him want to laugh.
Marquis Voban—not hurrying to enhance his own strength—actually here dissatisfied that Dagu placed him and Whitebeard at the same level.
Whitebeard also dissatisfied that Marquis Voban considered his strength not the same level.
Uchiha Dance King: "Why does Dagu think your strengths are similar? Because in his eyes, you're all weaklings—just as you are in my eyes."
Uchiha Dance King: "Though your strengths have progressed from before, progress margins are too small—far inferior to others."
Uchiha Dance King: "Even some backward ones have already caught up and surpassed you. Yet you're here fussing over these trivialities."
Boil Dagu Into Soup: "I didn't! Don't talk nonsense! I didn't mean that at all!"
Dagu directly triple-denied.
Originally bewildered why Marquis Voban got angry. Now Madara Uchiha's line "in his eyes you're all weaklings" plunged him into secondary bewilderment.
When had he viewed Marquis Voban and Whitebeard as weaklings?
One was One Piece world's Strongest Man. One was Campione world's Demon King.
If these counted as weaklings—what counted as strong?!
Uchiha Dance King: "What are you afraid of? Having already executed the transmigrator mission and obtained rewards—far surpassing plot Tiga's strength—you still think you're inferior to Voban and Whitebeard?"
Uchiha Dance King: "Wake up. Change your perception of them. The current you has already surpassed them."
Uchiha Dance King: "You can be prouder. No need to be so humble."
Uchiha Dance King: "The strong must have a strong person's bearing."
Boil Dagu Into Soup: "This..."
Madara Uchiha saying this—he felt like maybe his and Whitebeard's, Voban's perceptions still remained stuck in the past "big boss" stage?
Thinking carefully—current chat group big bosses should be Brandon White, Angel Yan, Luo Hao, Madara Uchiha, Holy Lord and others.
Marquis Voban and Whitebeard had long fallen from this position.
Even he was closer to this position than them.
So... I'm actually truly stronger than them?!
Dagu fell into contemplation. But Marquis Voban hadn't.
Most Ancient Godslayer: "Quite daring to say, Madara Uchiha."
Most Ancient Godslayer: "If not for that transmigrator mission, you think you could progress this fast?"
Rinnegan and Tenseigan's dual strengthening even triggered Ōtsutsuki bloodline atavism, producing various strange and powerful ocular techniques.
This strengthening wasn't just potential leap—even strength underwent terrifying enhancement.
Though he broke through Campione Status, this was more in potential—letting him not rely on idealism, through his own efforts step by step strengthening his power to the degree he could originally only burst forth through idealism.
This required time!
Naturally, Madara Uchiha's current strength exceeded his—even far exceeded.
But without that transmigrator mission, Madara Uchiha fundamentally couldn't directly leap to current strength.
Even more impossible to speak to him so condescendingly.
Uchiha Dance King: "Don't make excuses for your weakness."
Uchiha Dance King: "If Brandon White said such words—fine, because his strength could completely resolve that transmigrator alone, occupying the largest output percentage, rather than choosing to give me the opportunity. But what qualifications do you, Marquis Voban, have to say such things?"
Uchiha Dance King: "Did you not participate in that transmigrator mission? Didn't you attack the transmigrator?"
Uchiha Dance King: "Just because your strength was too low—damage inflicted on him was limited."
Uchiha Dance King: "Recognize your own weakness, Marquis Voban."
Uchiha Dance King: "Similarly breaking through Campione Status, the gap between you and Sect Leader Luo Hao is worlds apart."
He'd fought Sect Leader Luo Hao once. Result—no victor. Both sides' strength was evenly matched. Both possessed means to continue battle. But continuing was meaningless.
After coming out, Luo Hao directly said she'd lost. To her—not winning was losing.
Same for him.
From Luo Hao's body, he saw that fervent passion for growing stronger.
Unlike them having various reasons to become more powerful, Luo Hao seemingly only had the goal of growing stronger—she simply became more powerful for the sake of growing stronger.
