The center of the island ruins had already become a forbidden zone for life.
Three figures collided and separated frantically at speeds hard for the naked eye to capture; every clash erupted with deafening roars and shockwaves that tore through the atmosphere.
"Gwahahaha! Garp! Sengoku! Is it just the two of you? That's not enough!"
Rocks laughed wildly. His saber, entwined with dark red electric arcs, swung with the power to crumble mountains and split seas. His dark red Conqueror's Haki, like tangible armor and impact, constantly clashed with Garp's iron fists and the giant palms of Sengoku's Golden Buddha form.
"Shockwave: Buddha Shines Upon the Mountains and Rivers!" Sengoku transformed into a Golden Buddha, his massive palms carrying majestic shock energy, pressing down like a mountain in an attempt to suppress Rocks' madness.
"Fist Bone: Meteor Swarm!" Garp, like the most violent god of war, turned his fists into countless afterimages. Wrapped in top-tier Armament Haki, they blasted toward Rocks from various tricky angles, each punch enough to shatter a steel fortress.
The collision of three top-tier powers caused the earth to crack and sink continuously. The clouds in the sky were repeatedly torn apart and gathered again. The aftershocks of the battle even affected the distant sea surface, kicking up monstrous waves.
"Join me! Garp! Sengoku!" Rocks remained wild and unrestrained even in the heat of battle, issuing an invitation.
"This decaying World Government doesn't deserve your strength! Join me to overthrow this hypocritical Order and build a New World that belongs to the strong! Gwahahaha!"
"Shut up, Rocks! My justice is to protect the civilians of this sea, not to create chaos!" Garp roared, a single punch blasting away the incoming blade light, his fist wind plowing deep furrows into the ground.
"The justice that reigns over the world shall not be provoked! Rocks, your ambition will only drag the world into the abyss!" Sengoku's voice was grand as his Buddha palm struck down, radiating ten thousand golden rays with a majesty that could purify everything.
The convictions of the two were as solid as rock. Without hesitation, they rejected Rocks' "invitation," and their offensive became even more fierce.
Around the gibeck
Compared to the peak duel on the main battlefield, the combat around the gibeck appeared even more chaotic and tragic.
Relying on their absolute numerical advantage, the Marines surged forward wave after wave like a tide.
"Jiehahaha! How annoying! It's never-ending!"
Golden Lion Shiki danced wildly with his dual swords, his golden sword qi crisscrossing. He not only had to deal with the entanglement of three swordsman Vice Admirals but also had to distract himself to intercept countless cannonballs fired at the ship.
Although his sword qi remained sharp, the prolonged high-intensity combat and split attention caused sweat to break out on his forehead.
Other executives guarding the ship, such as Shikaku, John, and Xiong, were similarly surrounded by Marine Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals who outnumbered them several times over.
Each of them faced the rotating attacks of at least three Marine Vice Admirals.
The Marine tactics were very clear—utilize their numerical advantage to exhaust the executives' stamina at any cost!
"Pfft—!" A Marine Vice Admiral using a long blade spat out a mouthful of blood. His chest was slashed by one of Shiki's sword qi, leaving a wound deep enough to see bone. He was sent flying back, losing his combat capability.
"Die, Marines!" A fierce light flashed in Shiki's eyes as he prepared to deliver a follow-up strike to finish off the opponent.
