A Pause in the Battle

Sirius's body swelled up in an instant.

After the Fenrir Fruit Awakening, it granted him the ability to change his body shape at will.

Four years ago, when he fully unleashed his physical potential, he was able to instantly transform into a giant werewolf thousands of meters tall.

Now, after four years of training and continuous absorption that has allowed his physique to evolve to a new level, how big can he become?

Thick, dark clouds instantly enveloped the entire ruins of Marineford.

A powerful earthquake occurred, causing the ground beneath their feet to sink and the seawater to surge continuously.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, even Imu, who was hurtling towards Sirius, was momentarily stunned.

Behind the island, Vice Admiral Garp finally found his old friend who had been submerged in the water and nearly died. He was being helped up from the surface by Garp's arm.

Then he looked up and saw a sight that left him speechless.

"What is this?! Is that Black Wolf kid?! It's ridiculously big!!"

The giant werewolf's two lower legs were already submerged in the seawater, and just by standing there, the clouds could only pass over his chest.

"Wow, it's huge!!"

On the Sirius, the Straw Hat Kid looked up at the werewolf's head, which had already towered into the clouds, and his jaw dropped to the ground. "It's huge!!"

"That brat—"

Even Kaido couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

This kid was actually hiding such power!

"That's an incredible ability."

Imu hovered in mid-air, looking up at the colossal object before him. "Let me see, over eight thousand meters? You can even get bigger, right?"

Sirius did not answer.

He took a deep breath and then raised the greatsword in his hand.

With just a simple movement, a sudden gust of wind swept through the air above Marineford, instantly blowing away those who were not standing firmly.

"This monster!"

Bullet wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face filled with shock, and said, "He has completely surpassed Roger! How could there be such a powerful guy in the world!"

In the past, Roger was the strongest in his mind, but now, the strength shown by this guy known as Black Wolf has completely surpassed Roger's.

"This is the strongest!"

Raider smiled. "Although it's very disheartening, it seems that this man's era has truly arrived."

This is something that anyone with eyes can see at a glance.

"It's time to retreat."

Raider stretched and, taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was focused on the battle between Sirius and Imu and they had no time to pay attention to him, he turned and left.

The whale that brought them here is still over there.

Jinbe just passed by.

"Black Wolf-- "

Bullet's eyes gleamed as he looked at the giant werewolf.

This is a good thing!

Roger is dead; I can no longer defeat him.

But now there's an even more powerful one!

A new goal has emerged!

"Just you wait, Black Wolf! This isn't over yet!"

Bullet chuckled and got up to leave.

He was seriously injured; if he stayed here, he would be in big trouble.

He may be reckless, but he's not stupid.

Especially now that we have new goals.

Sirius was oblivious to what was happening on the ground; he simply swung his massive, mountain-like sword directly at Imu.

The blade moved with Inazuma speed.

Sirius possesses the Seimei Kikan, and has even evolved during these four years, so even though he is enormous, his sword-wielding speed is in no way inferior to that in his human form.

Therefore, it is only natural that the time spent swinging this sword is also the same.

The speed at which the sword flashed was astonishing.

"Prepare for defense!!!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru's expression changed drastically in an instant.

Even if it was just the aftershock, the destructive power of this sword strike was absolutely astonishing.

"That's really good."

Imu exclaimed in admiration once more, "Then let's see who's stronger!"

He did not choose to dodge. Sirius's sword swing speed was no less than usual, and he could also Future Sight. Choosing to dodge would definitely be a bad idea.

The light within the black robe intensified, and the individual orbs of light reflected within the robe could now be clearly seen.

Then, the ant-like fist collided with the mountain-sized sword blade.

Boom!!

The intense light turned the world black and white in an instant, and all sound vanished.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and everyone's movements froze.

Then, in a moment or a long time later, time begins to flow again.

The deafening roar shook the heavens!

The air crackled and popped as if it had a physical form, shattering apart.

The entire Marineford was sinking, as if something enormous was pressing down from above.

At Sirius's feet, the seawater exploded, the seabed beneath his feet shattered and caved in, and the seawater behind him splashed up to a thousand meters high, directly forming a massive tsunami that destroyed everything.

Even more astonishingly, behind Imu, a massive crack spread out from Marinevan.

The ocean was torn apart, reaching all the way to the seabed, and even the seabed and rocks below were ripped apart.

The crack stretched forward, reaching the very edge of sight.

The sea bears a scar.

"That's really exaggerated!"

Sirius was thrown backward by the shockwave, his hands throbbing with pain. "What is this force?!"

Such a slender figure, such astonishing strength!

If this guy had used this power right from the start four years ago, even if I had Awakening it, I would have been dead for sure.

So, the main point that time was to catch this guy off guard?

"Black Wolf!!"

Laughing loudly, a dark shadow suddenly shot towards Sirius.

"Emperor Sword-- "

Dark energy swirled around the blade as Sirius his sword.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom!

In just a few breaths, the two monsters had already clashed several times.

The catastrophic consequences began to appear; the entire Marineford was reduced to rubble, and the sea presented a desolate, apocalyptic scene of towering waves.

"What a joke! Those two bastards!"

Akainu roared.

They can only hide among the broken rocks, carefully taking cover and defending themselves.

It's almost time to wrap things up.

Sirius thought to himself.

There's no need to fight Imu to the bitter end right now.

Seeing that the light emanating from Imu was becoming increasingly dazzling and his power was rapidly increasing, Sirius took a deep breath.

He gripped the greatsword tightly with both hands, pouring all his Haki energy into it, the dark energy almost solidifying into a tangible form.

"Black Wolf!!"

Imu was almost enveloped in light, and his speed was like that of light itself.

"Get out of my way!"

As he became more familiar with the area, Sirius's size increased dramatically again, breaking through the 10,000-meter mark and continuing to climb.

Then, the monsters clashed again.

Boom!!

Marineford is completely engulfed this time.

Sirius retreated backward in a series of rapids, bringing with it another giant wave.

However, at the same time, a dark figure was also blasted away.

Imu, flying through the air, couldn't dissipate the force, making it quite difficult for him to maintain his balance.

Then, the opportunity arose.

"Luo!"

Sirius instantly reverted to human form.

"ROOM!"

Sirius vanished from his spot, and then, in the next instant, the Sirius also vanished.
