All members of CP0 moved at once.
Even in the eight-hundred-year history of the World Government—
Such a scene was exceedingly rare.
At the same time, they unleashed Tempest Kick.
Dozens of powerful slash waves filled the sky, enough to make one's scalp tingle.
However—
Just as those attacks were about to land on the Beasts Pirates' ship—
A massive hand, like a mountain, suddenly covered them all.
"Ow, ow, ow… that actually hurt my hand!"
The deep, rumbling voice echoed like thunder.
It was Sanjuan Wolf.
Already the largest giant in the world, standing over a hundred meters tall—
After consuming a Demon-level monster cell—
He had grown to over two hundred meters.
Every movement of his body shook the earth.
With a thunderous splash—
Sanjuan Wolf leapt into the sea, sending massive waves into the air.
He laughed as he slapped the water repeatedly.
"Die, you Marine and Government bastards!"
Crash! Crash!
The sea he churned rose into a tsunami, surging toward the dozens of Marine warships.
Though not as terrifying as Whitebeard's tsunami at Marineford—
It was still devastating.
If it hit—
Countless warships would be sunk.
Fortunately—
They had Aokiji.
"Ice Age!"
The tsunami—and the surrounding sea—froze solid in an instant.
"Fire!"
"Drive them back! Advance on Sabaody!"
Kong gave the order.
They couldn't afford to stall here.
Their objective was clear—
Reclaim Sabaody Archipelago.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Cannon fire rained down like a storm.
But while such attacks were deadly to ordinary soldiers—
They meant nothing to true monsters.
Shiryu swept his blade, destroying over a dozen cannonballs in a single motion.
Pizarro, Catarina Devon, Vasco Shot, and Wolf all moved as well—
Some swatted the shells away.
Some crushed them barehanded.
They looked like primordial beasts—
Untouched by conventional attacks.
At that moment—
Jinbe, who had already submerged beneath the sea—
Launched his next attack.
And this time—
He targeted the main warship.
"Fish-Man Jujutsu: Water Heart—Super Ocean Current Shoulder Throw!"
Jinbe's voice was low.
But the power behind it—
Was terrifying.
The Dragon-level monster cell had amplified his strength immensely.
The ocean current he controlled—
Was nearly ten times stronger than before.
And so—
This attack—
Was ten times greater.
BOOM!!!
A colossal column of seawater, hundreds of meters wide, burst through the frozen surface—
And shot straight toward the flagship where Kong and Sengoku stood.
Sengoku's expression changed drastically.
"Jinbe, you bastard—so you've betrayed us too!"
From beneath the sea, Jinbe replied calmly:
"No. It's not betrayal."
"The moment I was imprisoned in Impel Down…"
"I ceased to be a Warlord."
"Now we stand on opposing sides."
"Sengoku… take care of yourselves."
Sengoku's face darkened.
Suppressing his anger, he said:
"Then I'll execute you myself!"
Buzz—
Golden ripples spread outward.
Sengoku transformed—
Into a giant golden Buddha.
He raised his glowing palm—
And struck the massive water column.
"…?!"
His pupils shrank.
The density—
The force—
He couldn't disperse it immediately.
"Jinbe… he's eaten a monster cell too!"
Sengoku gritted his teeth.
These monster cells—
Were absurdly powerful.
He had no choice but to exert his full strength.
Finally, he shattered the water column—
Then unleashed a terrifying shockwave toward Jinbe beneath the sea.
Jinbe did not retreat.
His shark-like hand clenched into a fist—
And he struck forward.
"Fish-Man Karate Secret Art: Demon Brick Fist!"
The force of his punch formed a compressed air cannon—
Carrying massive seawater with it—
Colliding directly with Sengoku's shockwave.
BOOM!!!
A violent explosion erupted.
The resulting storm—
Sent wind and seawater crashing down like torrential rain.
"Well, well… every one of you really is a monster."
"But our mission… must be completed."
"Capture the king first… I'll go for the main target."
Kizaru, who had been watching until now—
Finally moved.
His body turned into a streak of dazzling golden light—
Rising into the sky.
He clasped his hands—
Aiming toward Sabaody.
"Yasakani no Magatama!"
In an instant—
Countless light bullets rained down toward Luo Xing and the others on the island.
Even from hundreds of meters away—
His range was overwhelming.
But—
None of the attacks reached their target.
A single blade—
Intercepted them all midair.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sword moved like a storm—
Perfectly cutting down every light projectile.
Kizaru tilted his head.
"Shiryu of the Rain… your swordsmanship has improved quite a bit."
Shiryu sneered.
"You'll understand once you experience it yourself."
Then—
He leapt upward—
And slashed down at Kizaru from above.
Kizaru raised his brows slightly.
His hands came together.
"Ama no Murakumo Sword."
A blade of golden light formed in his grasp—
Blocking Shiryu's strike.
The two clashed instantly.
Despite sending only one ship—
And six people—
Luo Xing's side was holding back the entire Marine force.
Aokiji.
CP0.
Sengoku.
Kizaru.
All had entered the battlefield—
Yet they still couldn't suppress those six.
Kong realized—
They needed more force.
Otherwise—
Being stalled by just six enemies—
Would crush morale.
He spoke:
"Momousagi. Chaton."
"You two—move out as well."
Both were Admiral candidates—
Each possessing strength close to that level.
Chaton's face twisted with killing intent.
Back at Impel Down—
He had already felt jealous of how much attention Momousagi paid to Luo Xing.
Now—
That jealousy had turned into murderous intent.
He would kill these enemies—
And then kill that man.
But reality—
Was cruel.
Pizarro and Vasco Shot blocked his path.
Pizarro grinned savagely.
"They say you're an Admiral candidate."
"Your blood must taste good."
Vasco Shot belched.
"Besides alcohol… enemy blood is my favorite drink."
Chaton's hair stood on end.
These monsters—
Drank blood.
Were they even human?
On the other side—
Momousagi faced Catarina Devon.
Devon, a Mythical Zoan: Nine-Tailed Fox—
Possessed terrifying abilities—
But her appearance was grotesque.
Compared to Momousagi—
Graceful, beautiful, elegant—
The contrast was absolute.
Devon's lips curled into a cruel smile.
"What a pretty little face."
"I'd love to carve it up—piece by piece."
Momousagi drew her blade, Konpira—
Her smile sweet… yet dangerous.
"So even a mass murderer like the Crescent Moon Hunter…"
"Gets jealous of another woman's beauty?"
A strange light flashed in Devon's eyes.
It was the Nine-Tailed Fox's illusion ability.
The moment Momousagi saw it—
Her mind wavered.
A wave of dizziness struck her.
Devon smirked—
Stepping forward—
Ready to slash that beautiful face—
But suddenly—
She staggered.
Almost losing her footing.
Momousagi let out a soft, playful laugh.
"It's not just you who can charm others."
"I can do it too."
After all—
Her codename was Momousagi.
Even hearing it—
Was enough to stir imagination.
Her ability—
Was just as dangerous.
Ordinary men—
Would become dazed in her presence—
Losing themselves—
Before dying without even realizing it.
Even women—
If careless—
Could fall under her spell.
