On the other side, at the Marineford.
"Bang!"
Sengoku slammed his fist on the desk, shattering it into pieces in an instant.
"What did you say?!"
He looked at the general who had come to report, his words filled with disbelief.
The latter told him that all the marines sent to the Sabaody Archipelago had lost contact, and not only that, but even the Admiral could not be contacted.
"They must be in a tough fight..."
"But those are two Admiral!"
Sengoku had tried his best to think of Ulquiorra in a terrifying light, placing his personal strength on par with Whitebeard's.
Then his deputy, with Gion and that idiot, shouldn't have any problems.
According to intelligence, Ulquiorra's other companions are all quite mediocre, and it's impossible for them to wipe out the entire marine force that was sent there!
"But Sakazuki, that guy, actually went to the New World..."
The Sengoku period was in a state of headache. At that level of battle, if the top-tier combat forces were not deployed, the outcome of the battle would not be affected at all.
"Report! Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
At this moment, another officer came to report from outside the door.
"What's wrong now?"
"Vice Admiral Garp has been deployed!"
"How many Belly do you guys make in a month? Why are you risking your lives like this?"
After several more rounds of fighting on the battlefield, Cifer's clothes were also damaged in several places.
In contrast, the four opponents were all dressed in tattered clothes and covered in bruises.
"I don't want to continue fighting either~ How about we stop here?"
Kizaru said this, but his hand on the Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi did not slow down. Together with Aokiji, who was holding an ice blade, and two others, the four of them joined forces to besiege Cifer.
They dared not let Cifer unleash another attack like Garganta, because that level of destructive power would mean that if someone were hit by it, they would be skinned alive or die.
"I think you're all prepared to smash the whole island to pieces!"
According to Cifer's Neural Scan, the entire Area One, along with people from more than a dozen nearby areas, had been dispersed by that guy named Sentomaru.
Now, it can be said that they are the only group of people within a radius of dozens of miles.
"After all, we're going to treat this place as your gravesite, so naturally we'll give you a grand send-off!"
Ice Age!
Aokiji had already sensed this, and from this moment on, he completely let go of all restraints.
Centered on him, frost spread rapidly, and an extremely cold aura enveloped the entire Area 1, and it continued to spread.
The fact that the entire island was frozen over also indicates that the entire island was his home ground.
"Ice Block - Beast Form!"
As they fought, two ice blocks resembling wolf heads suddenly emerged from the ground and bit into Cifer's feet.
Just a hair's breadth away, Aokiji's ice blade and Kizaru's Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi were about to strike him when they suddenly missed.
"It's gone!"
The four of them looked up at the sky in bewilderment, where Cifer's figure blocked out the sun.
The latter's disappearance was so sudden that even with his Observation Haki, there was no trace of him.
"Is this the legendary 'Observation Kill'? I really should take a vacation..."
Kizaru pushed up his sunglasses, panting heavily.
"That's all for the game. Although you guys aren't very strong, I've had my fill."
Cifer has already used the battle just now to figure out his current strength after undergoing a Resurrección.
He could probably rival three generals at the level of Yonko, but any more would be too much for him. Unfortunately, only two of his opponents had reached the level of Admiral.
"Now, let's embrace true despair!"
"Oh no! It's his final form!"
Aokiji and Kizaru were both flustered. As fellow Admiral, they had both heard Sakazuki mention that the other had another form.
Aokiji waved his hands, and two sharp ice pillars on the ground quickly pierced towards Cifer. Kizaru transformed into a beam of light, wielding the Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi, and teleported in front of him to slash down.
"It's too late."
A black Spiritual Pressure enveloped his entire body, Kizaru was thrown away by the enormous impact. The two ice pillars were shattered by the overflowing Spiritual Pressure.
Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky, leaving only a sliver of sunlight shining on Cifer.
As the immense Spiritual Pressure dissipated, the true Black Winged Great Demon was revealed to everyone for the first time.
The armor on his head disappeared, replaced by a pair of long, crescent-shaped horns.
Her clothes were gone, the hole in her chest was even bigger, and the two tear stains were almost pure black.
The whites of his eyes turned dark green, his pupils turned yellow, and there was a completely black vertical line in the middle.
Most striking are its claw-like hands and its demonic tail spikes.
"That's really outrageous!"
Cifer clenched his fist; the power within him was unbelievably strong.
Moreover, this form has a strange sense of comfort.
However, a strong sense of loneliness and confusion also struck, making Cifer feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"Captain Cifer ~"
"Cifer ~"
Nolan and Chopper were drooling. They never imagined that their captain would have a third form.
And he's so handsome!
"Whether we'll feel hopeless or not, we'll only know after we fight."
Aokiji's face was covered in frost. He had already given it his all, but it hadn't worked at all.
"Just by looking at his stance, you can tell this form is terrifyingly strong! I must apply for a bonus when I get back!"
Kizaru adjusted his sunglasses and stood next to Aokiji.
"Justice will prevail!"
Gion stood silently beside the two Admiral, his eyes already filled with the determination to die.
Weevil was in the worst condition, with a bruised and swollen face, multiple wounds on his body, and half of his beard torn off.
"Then!"
Cifer tossed the Banlong into Nolan's hands.
"Captain Cifer, don't you need it anymore?"
Nolan caught the Banlong, sheathed his sword, and asked softly.
"I have everything I need now."
As Cifer finished speaking, he disappeared into the air.
As Kizaru and Aokiji were still searching for him, two large hands were placed on their heads.
The two were pinned to the ground and dragged along by Cifer.
"So fast!"
Gion could react, the two people beside her had already been taken away.
"Frozen Time!"
Aokiji gripped Cifer's arms with both hands and unleashed his Devil Fruit power with all his might, instantly freezing Cifer's left arm.
"The Yasakani no Magatama!"
At such close range, Kizaru launched an attack, with all the beams hitting Cifer.
It's just a pity...
With a slight exertion, the ice on Cifer's left arm shattered completely. After dragging them for dozens of meters, he pulled them up and their heads slammed together.
Aokiji and Kizaru simultaneously coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Cifer let go, and the two swayed, their eyes seeing only a double image of Cifer.
"Give me your life!"
Weevil felt he had found an opening and slashed down hard from behind with his naginata.
"Pathetic weakling, after all this time of hopping around, it's time for you to get on the road."
Cifer simply extended his right hand and caught Weevil's greatsword in mid-air.
With a slight exertion, he threw the entire person into the air and raised his finger.
"Garganta!"
A swift black Spiritual Pressure pierced through Weevil's chest and then shot into the sky.
"Boom!"
After the deafening sound, all the dark clouds in the sky were instantly dispersed, revealing a clear blue sky.
"So, will you get hurt too?"
When Aokiji's ice blade and Kizaru's Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi struck Cifer simultaneously, it caused a violent explosion, and the latter was even blasted back several steps.
As the smoke cleared, Cifer touched his chest and found two scars with some blood flowing from them.
He was somewhat surprised that the Steel Skin he was invincible in had been torn.
Cifer subconsciously assumed that the two of them couldn't break through his defenses, which is why he didn't dodge or stop them.
The two were even more shocked; they had launched their strongest attacks simultaneously, yet this was all they could achieve.
"It's a pity that if you two were both at your peak, these two moves might have caused me a little trouble."
In the blink of an eye, Cifer's wounds had healed.
"I've really run into a formidable fellow!"
Kizaru tried to force himself to fight Cifer again, but Cifer's tail whip wrapped around his ankle, lifting him up and swinging him towards Aokiji.
"You villain!"
Although Gion knew he had no chance of winning, he still charged forward with his sword drawn. Kompira struck Cifer's shoulder, creating a spark.
"I almost forgot about you."
"Cero Oscuras."
The violent impact struck her abdomen, Gion collapsed to her knees, feeling as if her internal organs were about to be shattered.
The two Admiral and one Admiral Candidate were all covered in wounds, but they still stood up, panting heavily, and assumed a fighting stance.
"So, do you want to join my ranks?"
Standing in front of them, Cifer asked the question once again.
The three did not answer, but their resolute gazes had already given Cifer the answer.
"You are no match for me. It would be such a waste and boring for you to die like this. Let's make a bet!"
"Since you've already cleared the area, it would be a waste not to play."
Cifer took to the air, allowing Nolan to use the power of the Float-Float Fruit to bring the people back to the ship in another area.
"Lightning Spear!"
Cifer clasped his hands together, and when he opened them again, Spiritual Pressure like an arrow was formed.
"I don't play like this every time."
Go and seek your own hearts!
If they still oppose him for the sake of the corrupt World Government and hypocritical justice, then Cifer can only conclude that he has misjudged them.
Cifer released his grip, Lightning Spear fell straight to the ground. He then turned and disappeared into the sky.
"Boom!"
The violent explosion instantly swept across multiple areas, its power even reaching the sky.
With this, the Sabaody Archipelago is now nearly half missing!
