Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

Page 248

This is the scene that comes into view.

Above the frozen inland sea.

Marco and Jozu face off against Aokiji and Fujitora.

Not far away, Whitebeard and Akainu were engaged in a fierce battle.

The magma battle shook the earth, the ice battled the diamonds, and gravity battled the phoenix... The battlefield instantly became incredibly lively and the momentum was extremely powerful.

Above the plaza above the surrounding wall.

Garp and Ron exchanged blows, their punches landing with brutal force!

Each strike was incredibly heavy, powerful enough to shatter mountains. Every time their fists and feet, hardened by Armament Haki, collided, it was like a muffled thunderclap. The terrifying pressure gathered together created a gust of wind that made it impossible for anyone to get close to them.

The shockwaves generated by the collision of fists caused cracks to appear in the air, and the ground was blown away layer by layer.

The elite naval forces clashed with the Whitebeard Pirates at that narrow rift.

boom! boom!

Artillery fire roared.

The battles of the others were also raging fiercely. Devil Fruit users unleashed a variety of abilities, and even the huge rocks floating in the air became battlefields. The entire Marineford was filled with countless roars and tremors, as if it were about to collapse and sink at any moment. The battle had entered its most intense and heated phase, with both sides fighting with bloodshot eyes.

Blackbeard and his crew stared blankly and in shock at the battlefield that had exceeded their expectations.

"Has this war... escalated to this point?"

"Captain, what should we do next?"

Burgess looked at him and asked.

Van Augur said, "In my opinion, it is not a wise choice for us to join the war now."

"Hahaha, that's right. Now all we can do is wait, right?"

Blackbeard laughed as he looked towards Whitebeard, a greedy glint in his eyes: "However... no matter what, I must obtain the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!"

…………

It is located hundreds of kilometers offshore from Marineford.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and dark clouds filled the sky.

A colossal dragon, soaring through the clouds, twisted its massive, serpentine body toward Marineford.

Behind it, the Red-Haired Pirates' ship chased after the giant dragon, also heading towards Marineford.

Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, stood at the bow of the ship, gazing at the giant blue dragon that Kaido, another of the Four Emperors, had transformed into in the distance. His hand rested on the hilt of his sword, 'Griffin,' his expression solemn, his eyes cold, and his aura overwhelming.

214, Green Bull and Momousagi make their move.

Naval Headquarters.

The sky over Marineford was thick with dark clouds, a heavy, oppressive cloud overhead.

Countless enormous rocks float high in the sky, and some people use this place as a battlefield to wage life-or-death battles.

On the plaza in front of the execution platform, Garp and Ron, like two humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex, clashed fists with each strike, each imbued with Armament Haki and immense power.

"Boy."

Garp grinned, his face beaming with satisfaction: "You can't beat me with just your fists and Haki!"

As he spoke, the power in his pair of jet-black iron fists suddenly surged, shattering Ron's fist force in one fell swoop and slamming hard into Ron's chest.

A brilliant light flashed in Ron's azure eyes, and his figure vanished instantly.

Garp's punch landed on empty air.

A terrifying force erupted, shattering the air like a piece of glass, causing the ground to sink and crumble inch by inch in all directions.

"Did you dodge it?"

Garp grinned and turned to look at a spot to his side.

"That wasn't a shave, was it? What kind of technique was that?"

Ron emerged from the smoke and dust.

He looked at Garp and smiled, "Spatial teleportation."

"Spatial...movement?"

A look of surprise flashed across Garp's eyes.

He then grinned at Ron and said, "No wonder Kizaru isn't your match in speed."

"Let me make this clear: I have no intention of holding back when dealing with you now."

"It's ok."

Ron glanced at Ace on the execution platform, and at Sabo Ace who was blocked by Green Bull and Momousagi not far away, then looked at him and smiled, "Old man Garp, you are indeed very strong. Your Observation Haki has reached the advanced stage of the third level, and your Armament Haki should be close to the fourth level, right?"

"This claim... was told to you by Rayleigh, wasn't it?"

Garp grinned and chuckled.

Ron didn't deny it, looking directly at Garp, who was enveloped in invisible Ryuo Haki, and asked, "Old man Garp, what kind of power is the fourth stage of Armament Haki?"

"The pinnacle of Armament Haki..."

Garp looked at him, his eyes narrowing slightly, and said, "That's very strong, very strong power."

"Is it……"

Ron nodded and raised his hand to Garp: "I wonder who is stronger, this power or this one?"

As he activated his eye power, a dazzling light flashed in his pair of azure reincarnation eyes.

"Shenra Tianzheng."

An invisible repulsive force rushed towards the unsuspecting Garp, sending him flying as his eyes widened slightly.

"Lieutenant General Garp!"

The flying squirrel couldn't help but shout.

Just then, a dazzling light flashed across the sky.

Kizaru, who had lost a leg, suddenly appeared in the air, holding a giant sword made of photons that was a hundred meters long, and slashed down at Ron from top to bottom.

"So he's still alive... Logia-type Devil Fruit users aren't so easy to kill after all."

Ron glanced at Kizaru in the sky, then drew his sword and slashed.

A crimson slash, wreathed in black flames and exuding an aura of dominance, shot into the sky and collided violently with the lightsaber.

The impact of the swords colliding caused a strong wind to blow across the square.

The dazzling light was so intense that it was difficult for people to open their eyes.

"Old man..."

Sentomaru stared at Kizaru, who had lost a leg, in the sky, gritting his teeth.

"That guy actually..."

He glared angrily in Ron's direction, waved his hand, and roared, "Pacifistas, attack Traveler Ron!"

Six pacifists, looking exactly like Tyrant Bear, raised their hands and opened their mouths, converging their lasers towards Ron.

Empress Hancock narrowed her eyes upon seeing this scene.

"Don't think about it!"

She lightly touched her lips with her finger, conjuring a huge pink heart-shaped substance, which she pulled back like a bow and arrow, firing a barrage of pink arrows towards Sentomaru and the Pacifistas.

"Captive Arrow!"

Even non-biological pacifists will be instantly petrified if they are hit by those pink arrows.

"What are you doing? Pirate Empress!"

A naval officer angrily rebuked.

Hancock gave him a cold glance: "Whether it's the Navy or pirates, anyone who attacks that person is my enemy!"

"absurd!"

The naval officer charged at her in a rage.

Empress Hancock raised her long leg, hardened it with Armament Haki, and kicked the blade in his hand, shattering it, and then kicked him hard in the chest.

"Fragrant feet!"

……

"This is truly an extraordinary war."

Luo, carrying the longsword Ghost Cry, stood in a corner of the square, gazing at the battlefield and adjusting his hat.

As one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea recruited by the Navy, he had already done his part for the Navy by stopping the Straw Hat crew, so he had no reason to take action again.

Trafalgar Law stared intently at the figure wielding a blood-stained blade and fighting Kizaru in the distance, his expression complex.
