Chapter 1141: The Fourth Father-Son Duel? Kap vs. Whitebeard?

But then, Kap heard a familiar voice, his brow instantly furrowed, his gaze sharpening—he realized things weren't as simple as they appeared.

"Gurararara! My beloved son, Ace."

A seven-meter-tall figure appeared beside Ace, his voice booming and deep, shaking the very earth.

"Whitebeard has come too!"

"Whitebeard... how could he possibly be here?"

Kap and Itagaki Seiichi spoke almost simultaneously.

If Kap's reaction was pure shock, then Itagaki Seiichi's... was terror.

Clenching his fists, Kap stared seriously at Ace beside him.

And at Whitebeard, who held Ace tightly, his face softened with paternal affection.

After a brief silence, Kap's teeth ground with rage.

He stomped and shouted.

"Whitebeard! Put Ace down—he's my grandson! He has nothing to do with you!"

"You're full of shit! Ace is my son! That's beyond doubt."

"Shut up—he's my grandson."

"Rojie entrusted me with his only bloodline! Naturally, I must shoulder the responsibility that's mine."

"I've already said it, Kap—no one can change the fact that Ace is my son. You old fool, no matter how bitter you are, it won't matter. Gurararara... old man, just accept reality."

Su Han watched the scene, his lip twitching as he muttered, "Interesting—is Kap trying to take advantage of Old Man Whitebeard?"

Instantly, Kap and Whitebeard's shouting stopped.

Whitebeard need not be mentioned—Kap's Kenbunshoku was also exceptionally sharp.

Su Han's words couldn't possibly escape their notice.

After a brief silence, Kap suddenly burst into laughter, sweeping his gaze over Whitebeard, his eyes laced with contempt: "You're right! Whitebeard, just admit defeat!"

Watching Whitebeard fall silent, Mengqi Lage also fell silent. After a moment's thought, fearing his own grandfather might be killed by the enraged Whitebeard, he whispered softly: "Grandpa, Whitebeard's combat power... far exceeds mine."

Kap's laughter cut off abruptly.

He stared blankly at Whitebeard, then blankly at Drag.

Fuck! How the hell didn't you tell me this sooner, you piece of shit! "Looks like Kap wants to relive the old days!"

Whitebeard chuckled silently, his fist striking the air—a crack echoed, the void shattered into countless fissures that coiled into a dragon in midair.

The dragon slowly opened its mouth, circling the sky, its low roar echoing as if truly alive.

Kap's eyebrow twitched; he swallowed hard.

Though he believed Drag's words, he never imagined Whitebeard's power had reached this level.

This mastery of the... Gura Gura no Mi... had shattered every limit he could conceive.

"... We're done for!"

Itagaki Seiichi suddenly realized something, his eyes darting around the scene—his face turned deathly pale.

Ace was restrained by Whitebeard, Kap was held by Drag, Bofengshui Sect was present, and Naruto's side was clearly unreliable.

In other words... "Sarutobi Hiruzen! Come back and protect me!"

"Uchiha Sasuke! Don't you want your brother revived? Don't you want to rewrite all the tragedies? Come protect me now! If I die, your world's fate will remain as tragic as ever!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, locked in struggle with Bofengshui Sect, showed a flicker of helplessness in his eyes, his body trembling as he retreated at blinding speed.

"Why must it come to this?"

Bofengshui Sect sighed softly, his palm striking the air—the Raikō Rokudan Barrier instantly formed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt as if trapped in thick seawater, his movement slowing to a crawl.

Bofengshui Sect's hand clamped down—countless Flying Lei Shen seals materialized in the air, binding Sarutobi Hiruzen's body, sealing him instantly.

"Grandpa, bear with me a moment."

Bofengshui Sect's voice was calm; he gently tapped the air again.

The Flying Lei Shen Rokudan not only covered an immense area, allowing him to teleport freely within it, but also let him redirect any attack within the range—even swap the opponent's position.

He could even perform spatial slicing to injure his foes.

Without this, how could he have ever had the confidence to escape unscathed from Six Paths Madara? After all, escaping unscathed itself proves he's a Six Paths-level combatant.

Previous Shadow-level and even Super-Shadow-level powers, though terrifying, still fell within human comprehension.

But once one breaks through to the Six Paths level, one truly becomes like a god.

Bofengshui Sect is, among all known beings to Su Han, the only one—aside from Eight Gates Kaito—who reached the Six Paths level without relying on any Six Paths Sage's cheat.

Space twisted, and the whisker-marked Uzumaki Naruto appeared instantly before Bofengshui Sect.

"You... you..."

Uzumaki Naruto's lips trembled; he was in Sage Mode, his spiritual perception amplified beyond imagination.

Though he didn't recognize the man before him, he sensed a familiar aura emanating from him.

"To see you grown up... is wonderful."

"Naruto."

Bofengshui Sect's eyes softened; he stepped forward and gently embraced Uzumaki Naruto—unlike Whitebeard's rough grip, his embrace was like sunlight brushing the face.

One could only feel that warmth.

"I am the Fourth Hokage. Or... you may call me... Father."

"... Father."

Uzumaki Naruto stood frozen—his father was the Fourth Hokage—the one whose face was carved into the Hokage Rock, revered by the villagers.

"... Is it really you? No! If it were you, why did you seal the Nine-Tails inside me?!"

Naruto Uzumaki suddenly realized.

"...... Sorry!"

Bofengshui Senpai's voice carried a trace of regret as he reached out and lightly touched the seal on Naruto Uzumaki's abdomen, activating the chakra left behind by his counterpart from another world: "I will answer all your questions one by one."

Su Han and Xuanwozhang Sect watched in silence.

This grand drama was truly magnificent.

Look at the scene… how many times have we seen father-son reunions: Mengqi Lage and Kanpo's father-son reunion, Ace and Bai Hu Zi's father-son reunion, Naruto Uzumaki and Bofengshui Senpai's father-son reunion… oh yes, and also Kanpo and Bai Hu Zi's father-son scenes.
