Oboro's Whereabouts

What's going on? The situation is getting more and more absurd. The Hell Pirates are actually going to fight the Yonko Red Hair Pirates?

You must understand, this is Marineford, the Navy's territory.

Besides the Navy, there were also remnants of Whitebeard's crew in the arena.

Almost the instant Oboro responded, Marco, the surviving leader of the Whitebeard Pirates, analyzed the situation and immediately shouted, "Listen up, all members of the Whitebeard Pirates! We're temporarily joining forces with the Red Hair Pirates!"

"Hey, hey, hey... Marco, don't be so nervous."

Shanks smiled at Marco, "Our goal is to end this battle and get your people to retreat immediately. Then leave the rest to us... You guys hurry up and get on the ship and leave."

"This..."

Marco was stunned.

"Trust me, it'll be alright."

Shanks nodded.

Then, staring at Oboro and the Hell Pirates members on either side of him, he murmured, "He probably doesn't really want to fight us to the end; he has another purpose."

"Crocodile ...a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, a former Shichibukai, I'll take care of him."

"Shiryu of the Rain... His appearance has changed so much, I almost didn't recognize him."

"That's... Bare, right? You and Shanks must be old friends, right?"

On Shanks' side, Lucky Roux Strike, Yasopp, and the others quickly chose their opponents and began to discuss them.

"It's been a long time since we've had a serious fight. Let's begin."

Regarding the crew's discussion, Shanks simply said something in an excited tone.

Then, he instantly unleashed his Conqueror's Haki.

Crimson lightning swept across the land.

In an instant, he and Oboro, along with countless other marines standing on the ground, all fainted.

The fighting power he displayed was in no way inferior to Whitebeard's, and in terms of sheer momentum, it was even stronger... because Shanks was in his prime at this time.

But that was his absolute peak.

Then, the ground beneath Shanks' feet exploded and collapsed instantly; he had no intention of playing around with Oboro.

Go all out.

He transformed into a fiery red streak of light enveloped in Haki, rushing towards his target in the blink of an eye and closing the distance.

Then, he slashed out with his sword!

The rainbow-like light of this slash seemed to connect heaven and earth in the field of vision. Even before the strike arrived, the terrifying power of the blade already caused a stinging pain to the skin of those facing its light. As for Oboro, who was locked onto by the blade's light, a corner of his round hat was torn open.

However, he remained remarkably calm.

He even looked at Shanks charging towards him, still smiling... without making any move to defend himself.

Just as the slash was about to strike him, suddenly, a tall figure stood in front of Oboro.

With a simple flick of his arm, his fist precisely struck the Shanks's blade, deflecting the attack and changing its trajectory to another direction.

The blade flashed, but its momentum did not diminish. It sliced open a chasm that stretched for a thousand meters across the ground of Marineford, sending countless sailors flying into the air along its path.

Shanks' attack was broken, and he charged forward with lightning speed, wielding the Gryphon. The blade itself was aimed at Oboro's head, but as he got close, his weapon was caught by the man standing in front of the God Slayer with just a single hand.

Shanks' expression changed.

The person he was facing was his former 'comrade' and also his senior, Douglas Bare!

At this moment, the white-haired Bare, gripping the famous sword Gryphon, was wrestling with the Shanks.

Shanks tried to pull the blade from Barrett's hand, but Bare held on very tightly.

He then gave Shanks a mocking smile, "Shanks... it's been a long time. The apprentice kid on the ship back then has now become one of the Yonko. If Captain Roger knew, he would be very pleased."

"I don't remember having any relationship with you, so don't be so affectionate."

Shanks' expression darkened, but he still smiled and said.

Then, an even more powerful and domineering Haki enveloped his blade as he twisted his wrist.

In an instant, half of Bare's hand was severed.

Shanks then quickly retreated.

Create distance.

The moment the battle broke out, the other members around Oboro, just like the members of the Red Hair Pirates, rushed out in unison, each searching for their own targets.

Bare raised his bleeding hand, looked at it, and appeared completely indifferent.

Are you alright?

Standing behind him with his hands in his pockets, Oboro stepped forward and asked a question that seemed to be out of concern.

"It's a small problem, leave this to me... you go and take care of your business."

The sound was faint, and then it vanished from the spot in an instant.

Bare flashed two rows of white teeth and glanced at Shanks, "Although you're not Whitebeard... you can still arouse some of my desires. Let's catch up."

After he finished speaking, his hand instantly returned to normal.

This scene made Shanks' eyelids twitch.

Sure enough... just as his intuition told him.

Douglas Bare, this man...

Boom! In the instant that Shanks was lost in thought, Bare seized the opportunity and, with his own full Haki, flashed behind Shanks.

Even more astonishingly, the muscles in his raised arm suddenly writhed and changed, growing as large as a pillar! Moreover, other arms rapidly grew from his waist, abdomen, and other parts of his body, together forming a fist with the power of thunder, which smashed towards Shanks.

This scene is beyond words.

Suddenly, seven or eight limbs comparable to those of Giants appeared on one person's body, and Bare's Haki power was quite terrifying, easily allowing him to completely wrap his attacks with Haki! The special flesh and blood of his body allowed Bare's Haki level to reach a new level in a powerful way!

Shanks could only use Gryphon, who was lifted up with one arm, to block this incomprehensible and illogical attack.

A 'sinkhole' suddenly appeared in the square of Marineford. The residual force of the explosion caused by the two people's fight made it difficult for those around them to self-destruct. The ground beneath their feet was bulged by the overflowing force and shattered into countless stones. Not to mention standing still, their bodies were thrown off balance and they were about to be thrown into the air.

Dust and smoke filled the air...

Too fast! Even the strategist Sengoku couldn't react at this moment.

The clash between the Red Hair Pirates and the Hell Pirates happened in the blink of an eye.

The navy hadn't even had time to take any countermeasures.

The battle has already begun!

"Everyone... evacuate the central area!" Sengoku's command echoed throughout Marineford.

Douglas Bare! He and Garp were the ones who captured him and sent him to Impel Down.

So Sengoku was aware of Bare's strength... but the current situation had reversed his impression of him.

A monster with strength comparable to the Yonko.

"The God Slayer's divine blessing..."

The Sengoku was filled with rage as two of the Yonko clashed, and the situation spiraled completely out of control.

"Where God Slayer?"

Suddenly, Sengoku felt a chill in his heart and woke up with a start.

Instead of confronting Shanks -on, God Slayer left it to Bare to hold Shanks off.

What was he going to do? Sengoku immediately looked around, searching for Oboro's figure.

"Not good!"
