Chapter 195: Return To Marine's Invitation, Susanoo Opens
The entire Enies Lobby fell silent, save for the hum of the slowly descending Ark Maxim.
Countless eyes were fixed on the two combatants.
Madara stood on Kaido's mace with an extremely contemptuous smile. "What? Is this the power of the strongest creature in the world? Is the Pirate Emperor only at this level?"
Hearing Madara's sarcasm while still amazed that his Thunder Bagua had been broken, veins popped on Kaido's face.
Powerful Haki surged. As he lifted the mace, he threw Madara into the air. Madara rotated quickly and landed steadily, acting with ease.
But the moment he landed, Kaido took a step, rushing forward like a thunderbolt.
Boom buzz!!
With one blow, the ground shook continuously. Madara dodged quickly. His Mangekyō Sharingan once again foresaw Kaido's next attack.
Stepping forward with extreme speed, Madara jumped up and kicked Kaido in the chest.
There was a dull impact sound. Kaido's movements only paused for a moment; he was completely unharmed by Madara's attack.
"Hahaha!"
"It's like scratching an itch! You ninjas are too weak!"
"I don't care about such an attack at all!"
As he spoke, he waved his mace and began to attack continuously. Madara kept dodging. Kaido's attacks were strong, and every strike entangled with Haki had shocking power. But if he couldn't hit the target, the power was useless.
Kaido drove Madara back wildly, roaring waves of force destroying the ground and surrounding buildings. Madara avoided all attacks perfectly, selectively counterattacking to test Kaido's defense.
Both moved extremely fast. The battle scene was intense, but to those who truly understood, this stalemate was meaningless.
Above on the Ark Maxim, Yuichi didn't want to wait any longer. He glanced back at Enel and Shiki.
"I'll go down and have a look too! I really want to fight against such a powerful enemy!"
Yuichi jumped out without waiting for a reply. Unlike Kaido's freefall, Yuichi stepped on a path formed by invisible Spirit Particles, sweeping down at high speed. It looked like a dive, but he was accelerating.
It took almost one breath for Yuichi to land smoothly on a nearby roof.
The appearance of Yuichi made Madara, who was fighting Kaido, even more excited.
Here comes another capable guy! Then don't get entangled with this big brute who only knows how to use brute force!
Thinking this, Madara suddenly stopped. The falling mace was about to hit him!
Suddenly, a huge skeletal palm grabbed Kaido's mace.
Susanoo... ON!
Blue Chakra burned as a skeletal right arm emerged from the ribcage around Madara, holding Kaido's weapon tightly.
Kaido's eyes widened at the sight of the weird bone structure. This force completely suppressed his Haki!
The three Admirals looked dignified.
"That ability... isn't it just for defense?" Aokiji said in surprise.
The phantom-like skeleton slowly emerged, overwhelming Madara. It seemed this ability was not just a simple defense, but a powerful integration of offense and defense.
"Sure enough, this guy hasn't used his full strength yet," Aokiji noted. Even without full strength, he had repelled the three of them. This man's strength was terrifyingly high—perhaps even greater than Kaido's.
The first form of Susanoo was active. Although the skeletal form wasn't the strongest, Madara's use of it amazed countless people.
Yuichi's eyes fixed on Madara. His right hand slowly moved to the handle of his Zanpakutō, Senbonzakura. He could use Uchiha Madara to confirm his own level relative to the Ninja World and prepare for the future war.
But the moment Yuichi grabbed the handle of Senbonzakura, two auras locked onto him. Or rather, three.
Yuichi suddenly looked in the other direction. Two figures jumped up from the ground and landed on the roof opposite him, only ten meters away. These were naturally not ordinary soldiers.
"Mr. Garp. Mr. Sengoku," Yuichi said softly.
Garp and Sengoku looked at Yuichi with complicated expressions. Garp sighed, squinting at his old friend. Sengoku was assessing whether his plan could be realized.
After a few seconds of silence, Sengoku spoke slowly. "Yuichi, you can come back. I've already talked to the Five Elders. They promise they won't make a fuss about the Tailed Beast Chakra inside you! That power can belong to you. Come back! The Marines need you!"
The Marines wanted to recruit Yuichi back!
This didn't matter much to the people of the Ninja World, but it was significant to the Pirate World. Ordinary people naturally preferred "Marine Yuichi" over "Pirate Yuichi," as the Marines were the defenders of justice.
But as many looked at Yuichi expectantly, he showed an unruly smile. Seeing this expression, Sengoku felt disappointed. He had managed to convince the Five Elders, but convincing Yuichi seemed far more difficult.
"It doesn't matter whether I go back or not," Yuichi said suddenly. "For me, the purpose of fighting is to become stronger. It doesn't matter if I'm in the Marines or not!"
Sengoku's eyes lit up again. "Then Yuichi, go back to the Marines! The previous situation will never happen again, and after you return, you will be the core candidate for the next Fleet Admiral!"
What was this? Giving him a blank check to get him back? Yuichi was no three-year-old child to be cheated so easily.
Yuichi shook his head. "No need! Being a pirate is quite free!"
Seeing Yuichi's decisive refusal, another person jumped up, standing behind Sengoku and Garp. He was older than the two, yet his momentum was much stronger. Although Yuichi had never met him, he guessed who it was.
The Commander-in-Chief of the World Government, Kong!
