Gion and Issho Join the Battle!

With his legs buried in the ground, Silver Axe, relying on the terrifying strength bestowed upon him by his Riki Riki no Mi, managed to hold off Ortolan in his Sulong form.

The next moment, Ochoku appeared above Ortolan, his long sword thrusting downwards as he yelled, "Silver Axe, are you out of your mind? Why are you grabbing his horns?!"

However, before Ochoku bring his longsword down, a beam of lightning burst forth from Ortolan's body, shooting into the sky. Ochoku didn't have any special physique, so he naturally didn't dare to exchange injuries with Ortolan. He immediately changed his move and disappeared again.

Silver Axe, who had been acting impulsively, seemed to have come to his senses after being scolded by Ochoku.

Holy crap, why did I grab his horns?!

For a brief moment, he was intimidated by Ortolan's imposing presence, who truly mistook him for a raging bull.

Actually, Ortolan isn't really in beast form!

At this moment, the Silver Axe was gripping Ortolan's horns, while Ortolan's hands were free!

There was no way to escape, since both legs were pinned to the ground and the distance was too close!

By the time Silver Axe reacted, Ortolan's powerful punch had already slammed into his face. The punch instantly caused his nose to collapse and his entire face to be deformed. His legs, which were stuck in the ground, were pulled out by the force. Then, Ortolan's punch sent him flying hundreds of meters away, crashing heavily into a pile of ruins, where he lay motionless.

Normally, after injuring Silver Axe with a single blow, Ortolan should have pressed his advantage. However, at this moment, Ortolan had absolutely no interest in Silver Axe; all he could think about was killing Shanks!

Therefore, after knocking the Silver Axe away with a punch, Ortolan's crimson gaze instantly locked onto Shanks, who had just gotten up from the ground in the distance.

With another wild roar, Ortolan crackled with electricity and appeared in front of Shanks in the blink of an eye, throwing a punch straight at Shanks' face.

Shanks didn't have time to create distance, so he didn't care about manners. As Ortolan threw a punch, Shanks immediately ducked down, the wind from the punch passing over his head, and Ortolan's follow-up attack also erupted.

As Shanks crouched down, Ortolan raised his knee to deliver a swift strike, startling Shanks into a cold sweat. He instinctively dropped to the ground, then rolled away in a daze, barely managing to dodge the blow.

Meanwhile, at the port, Beckman, watching the battlefield almost entirely dominated by the crazed Ortolan, swallowed hard and said, "I've always heard Shanks say that guy is incredibly brave, but now I've truly seen it for myself. This is a huge problem. Even though Shanks overestimated that guy's strength as much as possible, it's obvious he still miscalculated. There are still some top-tier Marines who haven't entered the fray, and the first wave of attacks failed to truly injure Ortolan and render him unable to fight. If this continues, things are not going well. Yasopp, you and Lucky Roux go prepare the ships, I'll go support Shanks!"

Yasopp also had a gloomy face. He hadn't finished off Ortolan here, and now he had truly made an enemy of them. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to survive in the New World anymore. His future was bleak... It was really painful!

When we came to Hachinosu Island, didn't we agree to rise up by stepping on Ochoku and Silver Axe?

How the hell did the plot suddenly turn into this mess?

On the other side, Shanks dodged several of Ortolan's punches with a clumsy effort, but he was unable to create distance from Ortolan and found himself in a very dangerous situation. In particular, during the first exchange with Ortolan had knocked his sword out of his hand, leaving him in a very awkward position. Counterattack? In his unarmed state, he simply couldn't break through Ortolan's defense!

Just as Ortolan's punch was about to land, a gunshot rang out, and Beckman, dozens of meters away, fired a shot that struck Ortolan in the shoulder.

His Haki infused the bullet, making the shot powerful enough. Although it failed to break through Ortolan's defense, it did cause Ortolan's movements to deviate to some extent, allowing Shanks to seize the opportunity and avoid the punch once again.

At the same time, Ochoku appeared right next to Shanks, grabbed Shanks' arm, and disappeared with him in a flash.

Ochoku pulled Shanks down next to Griffin. Shanks grabbed his new dagger and said, "Thanks..."

However, Ochoku's expression was somewhat gloomy as he said, "That guy... although he seems to have lost some of his rationality, he's become even more terrifying..."

"His physical abilities are already terrifyingly strong, and the Mink Tribe's Sulong can further enhance his physical abilities. Combined, in this state, even Whitebeard might not be able to suppress him... Fortunately, he has lost his mind, so his use of Goro Goro no Mi's abilities is very rudimentary. If he could really control his behavior in this state, then he would probably be the true World's Strongest!" Shanks immediately exclaimed.

Hearing this, Ochoku cursed in frustration, "Damn it, what's wrong with Linlin? How did such a monster fall into the hands of the Marines..."

The two sipped their liquor briefly, and Shanks seemed to have calmed down; his arms stopped trembling slightly.

At the same time, Ortolan's wild offensive was so overwhelming that Beckman could hardly breathe. It was as if he would be injured if he was grazed and killed if he was touched. If Ortolan's offensive hadn't been so unpredictable, and if Beckman hadn't been so agile, the battle would probably have ended with a single blow.

Amidst the ruins, Silver Axe finally regained consciousness from his dazed state, clutching his bleeding nose, and staggered to his feet.

To be honest, this guy is definitely a physical monster. He took several heavy blows from Ortolan head-on, yet he can still stand up like this. He's really something.

Before Silver Axe could even get his footing, Wang Zhi and Shanks appeared beside him in a flash. Wang Zhi immediately said, "Right now, the only one who can stand up to that guy head-on is you. Hold on a little longer, and we'll find a way to severely injure Ortolan!"

"Damn it!" Silver Axe cursed first, then said, "I can't hold him off for long, you guys need to step up!"

"Beckman!" Shanks called out.

Beckman didn't even turn his head. He slipped and rolled over like Shanks, dodging Ortolan's attack. The next second, Shanks' slash was already flying over.

Ortolan remained incredibly wild. With a flick of his arm, imbued with Haki power, he deflected the slash directly in front of him. In the next instant, the Silver Axe had already rushed towards Ortolan, and a punch landed squarely on Ortolan's chest.

With no shortage of power, the punch indeed forced Ortolan to take two steps back. At the same time, Wang Zhi reappeared beside Ortolan in a flash. He had become clever, and with a sharp angle, he slashed at the wound on Ortolan's arm, intending to sever Ortolan's arm bone.

At this moment, Ortolan had just taken a heavy punch from the Silver Axe, and the force of the blow hadn't dissipated yet. Coupled with the loss of his rationality, it seemed that he really couldn't dodge Wang Zhi for a moment.

But at that moment, an invisible force of gravity instantly enveloped everyone, causing even Ortolan to stumble and nearly fall to the ground.

Caught off guard, Wang Zhi couldn't withstand the gravity and his body was pressed directly towards the ground. However, just as he was about to be pressed into the ground, his ability activated, and he was out of the battle zone in the blink of an eye.

As the Wang Zhi, gravity immediately followed and the pressure subsided.

At the same moment, a figure swift as Rabbit Escape darted out from behind Ortolan and instantly arrived in front of Silver Axe.

It's Gion!

Gion's Konpira was already drawn, gleaming with a sharp, cold light, as it slashed diagonally upwards.

Just as the blade was about to decapitate the unsuspecting Silver Axe, a gunshot rang out, and Beckman's shot accurately struck Gion's blade!

This gave Silver Axe a split-second opportunity to react; his burly figure stepped back, missing Gion's blade.

But the next moment, blood flashed on Silver Axe's chest, and a cut appeared on his body.

"Wind pressure!?" Silver Axe, disregarding his surprise, quickly took two steps back, widening the distance once again.

However, Gion had forced Silver Axe back with a single strike, did not pursue him. Instead, she took two steps back and came to Ortolan's side. A large syringe had appeared in her hand at some point.

Without a word, he plunged the needle directly into the wound on Ortolan's arm and injected all the medicine inside into Ortolan's body.

At this moment, Ortolan seemed to recognize Gion, so he did not struggle or dodge, and let Gion give him a needle.

At the same time, a smiling figure descended from the sky, landing on the other side of Ortolan, and said, "Luckily, we have Dr. Vegapunk's potion, otherwise, if he really went berserk, Hachinosu Island probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it..."

They came here to wipe out Wang Zhi's gang, that's true, but they didn't say they wanted to sink Hachinosu Island. This place is meant to be left to Moria and will serve as a trade hub. Sinking it would be a real problem.

You know what, it really lives up to Dr. Vegapunk's reputation. After that injection, Ortolan's wild aura quickly subsided, his long silver hair began to recede, and soon, the crimson in his eyes faded, as if he had regained his sanity.

"It hurts so much, Gion..." Ortolan said.

Upon hearing the voice, Gion smiled, knowing that Ortolan had recovered, and then said, "I'm not a medical professional, so it's understandable that my technique is rough."

At this moment, Shanks, Beckman, Silver Axe, and Wang Zhi stood facing each other, several dozen meters apart, from Ortolan, Issho, and Gion.

Compared to the relaxed demeanor of Ortolan and his two companions, Wang Zhi and the others looked extremely solemn.

After all... Ortolan alone was already quite troublesome for them, and now, the Marines's high-level combat forces have also joined the battle!

This pressure is a bit much!
