Whitebeard and Red-Haired struggled to their feet, exchanged a glance, and then unleashed their respective abilities once again to attack Senga.
With a flick of his wrist, Senga summoned the Sword of Susanoo, which clashed with the Griffin in Red-Haired' hand.
With his other hand, he unleashed Shinra Tensei Whitebeard, who was charging towards him. However, Whitebeard was prepared this time. His muscles suddenly bulged, and a shockwave enveloped his entire body.
The Repulsion Force generated by Shinra Tensei struck the shockwave, creating numerous cracks in space. Whitebeard was forced back several steps, but this was significantly better than being thrown hundreds of meters away previously.
This move by Whitebeard piqued Senga's interest; Whitebeard had never shown this method of application in the anime.
With a single strike, he forced the Red-Haired back, Senga appeared before Whitebeard like a bolt of lightning. His hand was covered with the patterns of the Destructive Armament, and he punched the shockwave surrounding Whitebeard's body.
The instant his fist made contact with the shockwave, Senga felt an extremely strong tremor spread from his fist. His right horn immediately released a milky white halo, absorbing all the shockwave that had entered his body.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Whitebeard Murakumogiri and slashed fiercely down at Senga's back. (Tianlai Novel Network)
Whitebeard's arm went numb from the shock. He looked closely and saw that a suit of armor made of deep purple energy had firmly wrapped around Senga's upper body. Murakumogiri slashed at it, it only created a faint ripple.
He recognized that the armor on Senga was exactly the same as that on the half-giant who had appeared earlier.
He had already grasped the defensive capabilities of the half-giant, and it blocked his and Red-Haired's attacks with almost no effort.
Now, this miniature armor seems to have even stronger defensive capabilities. Whitebeard quickly put away his Murakumogiri and retreated rapidly, putting distance between himself and Senga.
Senga stared at his fist, lost in thought. The tremor he had just experienced was truly unforgettable; he had never imagined that the Tremor-Tremor Fruit could be used in this way.
After thinking for a while, Senga smiled. The better the Tremor-Tremor Fruit performed, the happier he would be, because it was very likely to be the last Tomoe in his Rinnegan.
Seeing the smile on Senga's face from afar, Whitebeard felt a sense of crisis. He released another shockwave to envelop his body and covered it with Armament Haki.
Senga looked up at Whitebeard. This time, he didn't rush forward for hand-to-hand combat. Instead, he extended a finger and aimed it at Whitebeard. A purple sphere of energy gathered at his fingertip, and then a thick bolt of lightning shot out.
"Cero."
This time, Senga's Cero was much stronger than the one he used against Blackbeard. Whitebeard first used Observation Haki to predict it, then crossed his arms to protect his face, and lightning struck his arms, leaving a charred mark on them.
However, this was only the first strike. Cero, like the lasers Kizaru emits from his fingertips, can be released continuously.
One Cero after another bombarded Whitebeard, causing his body to slide backward, leaving two long grooves in the ice beneath his feet.
Just as Whitebeard was struggling to withstand Senga's attacks, Red-Haired finally made his move. He gripped his Griffin and unleashed a deep red slash at Senga, crackling with red and black Inazuma.
Senga did not choose to fight back, and once again transformed into lightning and disappeared from the spot.
Although Red-Haired's attack missed, it gave Whitebeard precious breathing time. He pushed off with both legs and instantly appeared next to Red-Haired.
The two stood side by side, confronting Senga.
On the other side of the battlefield,
Beckman seized the opportunity to break free from Kizaru's control. Kizaru shrugged indifferently, as he hadn't expected to subdue the Red Hair Pirates -captain Beckman so easily.
Beckman, who appeared in front of Kizaru in a flash, didn't waste any words and raised his pistol to fire a burst of shots at Kizaru.
Kizaru's body immediately turned into countless points of light and scattered in all directions. However, as one of the few powerful people in the entire Pirate World who uses guns, Beckman's Observation Haki has been honed to the extreme.
He fired several more shots at an empty spot, and the next second, Kizaru appeared exactly where he had fired.
This wasn't the first time Kizaru had fought Beckman, and he remained completely calm in the face of this situation. He swung his Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi, deflecting all the incoming bullets, and then extended his finger to shoot beams of golden laser at Beckman.
The ice surface where the two were standing was soon shattered by the laser beams and bullets imbued with Haki. Fortunately, Aokiji was frozen solid enough, otherwise this environment would have been quite troublesome for Kizaru.
After a long exchange of blows at the central gate, Kizaru suddenly transformed into specks of light that converged into the air. A faint glint flashed across his brown sunglasses. Then, he crossed his arms, making a finger-snapping gesture that emitted two cross-shaped beams of light.
"The Yasakani no Magatama!"
Countless light projectiles rained down from the sky, indiscriminately bombarding the location where Beckman was below.
Beckman dodged and weaved through the explosions, but the attacks from the Yasakani no Magatama were too dense. After the attacks stopped, some holes appeared in his clothes, revealing burn marks on the exposed skin.
Kizaru chuckled softly, and once again transformed into specks of light that converged on the ground.
He put his hands in his pockets and spoke in a rhythmic, melodic tone.
"Kow, Ben Beckman, you only suffered minor injuries from that attack?"
Beckman's face remained extremely serious as he glanced down at the burns on his body, some of which still shone with a golden light.
He couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.
"Damn, this guy seems a bit different today?"
Not only Beckman, Kizaru's actions also stunned Aokiji on the other side. He reached up and lifted the eyepatch on his forehead, saying incredulously,
"Oh my, is that still Borsalino?"
However, he quickly shook his head, thinking that even Kizaru, who always liked to slack off, had gotten involved. If he didn't show some real skills, he wouldn't be able to keep up!
Thinking of this, Aokiji looked up and gave Marco a dangerous look.
The ice on Marco's arm had been shattered in the previous battle. Upon seeing Aokiji's expression, he sensed something was wrong and immediately flapped his wings to fly into the sky.
Aokiji didn't give Marco that chance. He raised his hand and released a beam of almost solidified freezing air, which struck Marco's feet, which were still on the ground.
Marco was completely stuck to the ice by the ice blocks under his feet.
Just as he was struggling to break free, Aokiji appeared in front of him and punched him on the head.
"You'd better behave yourself!"
