The three of them fought from the ground to the sky, and from the sky to the ground. The wind grew stronger, and the rain became heavier.

Rumble... Golden Lion was blasted down from the sky by Garp and Sengoku. crossed his twin swords in a defensive stance, his legs stomping on the ground. The hard stone slabs shattered, and two deep trenches appeared as he slid, finally crashing into a collapsed stone slab, which was pulverized.

Lion's Scatter!

Buzz buzz buzz... The two famous swords, Sakazuki and Kiyomizu, trembled in Golden Lion's hands. At a glance, both swords seemed a bit blurry. He swung his hands, leaving behind afterimages. Several terrifying moon-white Sword Qi cut through the rain curtain, slashing towards Sengoku and Garp, who were rushing down from mid-air, connecting the sky and the earth.

Bone Fist: Iron Star!

Great Buddha Impact!

The two repeated their previous move, blocking the Sword Qi unleashed by Golden Lion. This collision was slightly less intense than the last, but the destructive power was still extraordinary. The battle had only just begun, and more than half of the spacious plaza of Marine Headquarters had already been destroyed.

The observing Marines had retreated far away, not daring to interfere in the battle between the three.

Carlos hid in the darkness, a smile plastered across his face. He had gained a lot this time. What he couldn't absorb for now could be stored and digested slowly later.

However, there was one thing Carlos was eager to learn: Rokushiki's Soru and Geppo!

Rokushiki: Finger Pistol, Tempest Kick, Soru, Kami-e, Tekkai, Geppo. What Carlos wanted to learn the most were Soru and Geppo. These two techniques would greatly enhance Carlos's combat effectiveness in his normal state, increasing his speed, allowing him to step on air, and ignoring terrain!

Rokushiki was both simple and difficult.

Whether in the Marines or the World Government's intelligence agencies, those who could learn Rokushiki were elites. Most people trained from childhood, strengthening their bodies and honing their skills. Depending on their talent, they could master varying degrees of Rokushiki techniques.

Carlos knew the principles of Rokushiki, and his physical condition was sufficient. What he lacked were the minute and precise techniques, and today, those techniques had been completed.

Garp and Sengoku had demonstrated Soru, Geppo, and other Rokushiki techniques multiple times. Under the observation of the Byakugan and Sharingan, Carlos could clearly see the minute details: how the legs exerted force, how the body coordinated, and so on.

Carlos understood these things and could even practice them now. However, it wasn't suitable at the moment. Practicing now would easily cause him to miss out on more. It would be best to spend time on it after the great battle ended. Anyway, he had fully understood the techniques, and it wouldn't take much time.

Lion's Roar: Ground Roll!

The earth trembled. Countless ruins, turned into rubble by the three's battle, floated and squeezed together. Even parts of the uncrushed ruins were levitated, forming two giant lion heads. Each lion head was like a mountain, towering and majestic, imposing and grand, exuding immense pressure!

Beneath the three giant lion heads, Garp and Sengoku looked like ants, seemingly vulnerable, but in reality, they contained terrifying power.

Bone Fist: Steel Meteor!

Buddha's Wrath Shockwave!

Garp's expression was solemn. He grinned, revealing his white teeth. He stomped his right foot on the ground, causing a large area of the ground to collapse into fragments. His figure shot up into the sky, his right fist retracted. Before the punch was even thrown, the pressure from his fist was already apparent, violently pushing aside the wind and rain.

With a single punch, a formless, distorted, giant fist imprint condensed, like a falling meteor, carrying an unstoppable, forward-charging momentum, smashing towards the diving lion head!

Sengoku's golden figure was particularly conspicuous in the dark night. Sengoku frowned, his golden hands, as if cast from pure gold, clasped together. A vigorous white light emerged in his hands, constantly compressing, compressing, and compressing, turning into a single white dot.

With a clap of his hands, boundless white light erupted from his palms. The sky turned pure white, as if dawn had broken. The white light was a highly condensed shockwave. Wherever it passed, the wind stopped, the rain vanished, and the dark clouds in the sky were torn to shreds!

This collision was even more terrifying. The shockwaves it triggered completely shattered the grand plaza of Marine Headquarters, causing considerable losses to the Marines.

"Hoo... Garp, go all out and capture Golden Lion as soon as possible, or Marineford will be in trouble!" Sengoku let out a long breath and shouted loudly. Battles of this magnitude consumed stamina too quickly.

"Oh, got it!" Garp grinned.

"Ahahaha... You want to capture me?"

"Bring it on!"

"Come on!"

Golden Lion, holding a cigar, took a fierce puff and laughed wildly and arrogantly.

Who were Garp and Sengoku?

How could they let Golden Lion be so arrogant?

Without a word, they unleashed a barrage of punches at Golden Lion.

The battle continued. The fight at Marineford lasted an entire night, turning half of Marineford into ruins. The residents of Marineford trembled in fear all night.

In reality, battles of this caliber could normally last for ten days and ten nights. However, Golden Lion was alone and outnumbered. He was fighting two powerhouses who were no less than him. Not only were these two powerhouses going all out, but they had also known each other for many years and possessed perfect synergy. Their cooperation was far more than a simple sum of one plus one...

The fiery sun slowly rose from the sea, casting myriad rays of red light onto Marineford, which was now nearly half a ruin. Golden Lion lay on the wet ground, surrounded by debris. The cigar in his mouth had long since extinguished. His body was covered in blood, and he was severely wounded and exhausted, looking rather disheveled. However, his lion-like might remained, and not everyone dared to approach him...

Garp and Sengoku's black suits were tattered, and they were not unscathed. Garp, who had charged the fiercest, took three sword strikes from Golden Lion, while Sengoku took two. Their stamina was also greatly depleted. Despite their monstrous stamina, they were still panting heavily, unable to recover quickly.

"Capture Golden Lion, shackle him with Seastone handcuffs and leg irons, and send him to Level 6 of Impel Down," Sengoku ordered coldly after calming down slightly.

"Pah! Sengoku, Garp, don't get cocky. I'll be back!"

"Although you two defeated me together, there's no way you, Garp, and those useless Marines can arrest that bastard Roger!"

"He's a man I, Golden Lion, acknowledge. When I get out later, I'll gather my subordinates and wipe out you useless Marines!"

Golden Lion spat out the cigar from his mouth and roared like a madman, appearing mentally unstable.

"Hmph, take him away!"

Sengoku snorted and emphasized again.

Two Vice Admirals personally stepped forward, shackled Golden Lion with Seastone handcuffs and leg irons, and escorted him away.

Carlos had already left by the time the battle ended. He was busy digesting what he had learned from observing the fight, especially wanting to practice the techniques of Soru and Geppo.

Furthermore, staying longer carried the risk of being discovered. Before, there was thunder and lightning, wind and rain. Garp, Sengoku, and Golden Lion were engaged in a fierce battle. Now that everything was quiet, the risk had greatly increased, and there was no need to stay.

After Carlos left, he found a secluded forest near Marineford town and quietly practiced Soru and Geppo within it.

In just half a day, Carlos, who was familiar with the principles of Soru and Geppo, had the required physical fitness, and possessed meticulous control, had initially mastered Soru and Geppo. His progress was truly astonishing, and his learning efficiency was incredible. From now on, he only needed to continue practicing them.
