"Uh, young man, you'd better put your fists back before saying things like that!"
Looking at Borsalino's fists, which trembled slightly even though they were behind his back.
Rowan shook his head slightly.
Zephyr was right; this Admiral Kizaru is indeed a bit of a waste in terms of taijutsu.
After those two Yata Mirror that exceeded the range, quantity, and specifications were fired.
The man's fists started trembling.
So what if he only threw about 800,000 punches twice? And he's already trembling?
This physique...
Rowan shook his head and chuckled to himself.
He wanted to see how many more times Borsalino could pull off that move!
Across from him, Borsalino paused slightly upon hearing Rowan's words, then disdainfully pulled his left hand out from behind his back.
"Fists? Ha, as long as they're effective enough, that's fine."
Look at the 800,000 people around us.
After taking those two punches from me, how many people can still stand up?
And among those who stand up, who can withstand the third and fourth punches?
At this point, the Yata Mirror in Kizaru's hand suddenly lit up, and he once again moved at the speed of light through countless lines of light particles, rushing to every pirate who could come into contact with the light and smashing a punch into them!
That's right, compared to the countless light particles flying swords of the Yasakani no Magatama, the Yata Mirror itself does not have any direct damaging ability.
The ability of the Yata Mirror is that Kizaru uses his own light particles to communicate with and assimilate the sunlight in the vicinity, thereby constructing an optimized channel that is more suitable for Kizaru to move at high speed within the light particle lines.
In other words, the Yata Mirror is a magical artifact used for traveling.
However, this speed of travel was so fast that Kizaru could be like a beam of light, arriving in front of anyone who had come into contact with the light in an instant.
So, all Kizaru needs to do is get into position and then throw the right punch when he makes contact with each enemy!
If only the Yasakani no Magatama is used, the simple light particle attack will injure countless enemies, but it will not be enough to render everyone incapable of fighting.
In particular, the large number of enemies Kizaru is currently facing are all excellent pirates who have been raised in the New World by the sea and have almost all mastered Haki.
In this way, the Yasakani no Magatama has enough control over the field, but its damage output is slightly insufficient.
Compared to the damage caused by simple light particles, the power of a monster like Kizaru's punch is obviously much, much greater.
How powerful is a monster's punch?
Garp's punch could even leave Marco with bandages on for three months.
Shanks could even render Kid has a bounty of three billion, incapable of fighting with a single punch.
Although Kizaru's physical skills are lacking, they are not something that a small-time pirate can easily handle.
Therefore, Kizaru's attack using the Yata Mirror was extremely effective!
But to put it another way...
How many people did Kizaru attack in that instant?
That means he threw just how many punches!
Then...
Bang!!!
With another explosion echoing around them, nearly 800,000 pirates nearby were once again inexplicably blasted away by the attack.
By the time the third punch came, few could withstand it. To the naked eye, hundreds of thousands of marines nearby stared at their opponent with utter bewilderment.
Nearly forty percent of them are now completely without opponents!
This attack has left at least 300,000 pirates dead!
What should you do if an entire war zone suddenly becomes deserted on the battlefield?
I need help urgently... (Awaiting your reply online)
The answer is, shout "666!" to the missile forces!
The nearby sailors immediately raised their hands and cheered for the Admiral in the sky whose left hand was trembling.
Borsalino nodded in satisfaction as he listened to the marines' cheers.
It had been a long time since I had used the Yata Mirror to throw so many punches. Both the energy expenditure and the pain were much greater than I had expected.
But looking at the results, all the effort was worthwhile.
Thinking of this, Kizaru shook his wrist with difficulty.
In less than two seconds, I used the Yata Mirror three times, which is equivalent to throwing more than 2.4 million punches out of thin air!
That's 2.4 million punches!
And yet, Zephyr calls himself trash in physical combat?
I'm just unbalanced in some subjects, I'm not a piece of trash!
As he pondered this, Kizaru put away the Yata Mirror.
Reaching this level is sufficient for dealing with pirate attacks in the war zone under my responsibility.
After a little more time has passed, the marines in their own combat zone can even provide defensive assistance to the marines in the surrounding areas after gaining an advantage.
Only they could do this, because if it were other monsters, they would be too busy dealing damage to the enemy pirate minions to create an effective area of effect.
As for Conqueror's Haki?
No one would use Conqueror's Haki on such a battlefield, because it's a double-edged sword.
One Conqueror's Haki's Haki will take down the enemy minions, but your own marines will also fall down with them!
If the enemy's numbers are only tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
So, they used Conqueror's Haki.
At worst, we'll all lie down together; after all, the outcome of the war is only decided by the monster's victory.
But on a battlefield of this scale, once someone unleashes Conqueror's Haki...
The area he was in charge of would instantly become the target of attacks from the surrounding areas.
Even Gawain's Conqueror's Haki couldn't possibly affect this battlefield that now encompasses nearly thirty million people!
A new era of pirate alliance consisting of nine million marines plus the crew of the Dark Bird Ship, and a terrifying number of over 800,000 ships and more than 20 million people.
Even now, it would be difficult for Gawain to wipe out such a Gawain number in one go using Conqueror's Haki!
However, if Conqueror's Haki cannot clear everyone's path, then entering the room will inevitably result in a loss.
At this point, only the vanguard of the pirates had launched an attack on the headquarters of the Gawain. The remaining approximately 70% of the pirates were still on their ships, drifting on the sea.
In other words, their formation was very loose!
As for the navy and the Dark Bird Ship, they all stayed on land for defense, and their formation was too dense compared to the loose navy!
If Gawain were to actually use Conqueror's Haki 'Conqueror's Haki, Gawain believed that at least 50% of the pirates would be affected.
As for the pirates further away, howling and waiting for their chance to attack.
Gawain was caught off guard.
Gawain estimates that at least 80% of the Marines will be affected by this Conqueror's Haki!
What's this called?
Using Conqueror's Haki is like using the Thousand Years of Death on the back of a Marine.
Backstab, that was a blatant backstab!
Therefore, rather than using Conqueror's Haki as an offensive weapon, Gawain used it more as a Conqueror's Haki one.
He stayed there, fighting Beckman and the others while remaining ready to provide support to other battlefields.
Once a pirate unleashes Conqueror's Haki attack, he will instantly arrive nearby and use his Conqueror's Haki to block the attack!
This is the true way to use Conqueror's Haki.
Enough of the small talk, let's get back to the main topic.
After using the Yata Mirror three times in a row, Borsalino, who had thrown 2.4 million punches, had his right hand numb and no longer wanted to fight.
So he decisively went back to his old ways, which was to coast along.
Of course, this war is far more important than any previous battle.
Although Kizaru was just paddling, this time he was paddling so much that it was practically an entire ocean.
While continuing to use his speed to restrain Rowan, Kizaru also took the opportunity to approach Izo of the Whitebeard Pirates.
While involving a monster-level powerhouse from the pirate faction, he also restrained a gunman who, although only at the level of Shichibukai, was of course a skilled gunslinger.
It's important to understand that while gunmen aren't particularly strong in one-on-one combat, they are among the most dangerous individuals on the battlefield.
Bullets are everywhere, and they can take the life of a strong person at any time. The battlefield is the perfect environment for a skilled Teuchi sniper shots!
It's important to know that in the Pirate World, there are plenty of monster-level powerhouses who have died or been injured by guns and cannons!
No one would be foolish enough to believe that those powerful individuals were actually killed by ordinary bullets and shells, right?
Because ordinary bullets and shells can't even penetrate the bodies of powerful monsters, let alone their Observation Haki through countless trials.
Therefore, most of the monsters that died from gunfire were killed by unknown sniper shots!
As gunmen, they may not need a prominent reputation or public glory.
Their very existence is like a scorpion's venomous stump, something even Buddha must be wary of!
Gawain shares the same thought as Kizaru, which is why Gawain readily agreed to fight alongside Beckman and Yasopp.
Or perhaps, this is the result Shanks wanted.
On the one hand, Shanks was happy to see Gawain entangled with Beckman and Yasopp.
After all, Beckman and Yasopp aren't the type to rely on sniping; their strength has already surpassed the level where monsters can only be killed by sniping.
On the other hand...
Shanks clearly saw that Gawain wouldn't be able to get entangled with someone!
Gawain, who was focused on supporting the battlefield, could easily become the final straw for the navy in any small-scale battle.
Shanks even simulated countless outcomes, suggesting that even if Whitebeard or Shanks himself were to fight Gawain would be too lazy to linger in the battle. Instead, he would constantly rush to other places, shamelessly joining other wars, and quickly crushing his opponents and seizing the spoils of war.
This is indeed Gawain's style, and the Navy and Dark Bird really need to end the battle as soon as possible!
Therefore, after observing the future countless times and confirming that neither he nor Whitebeard could stop Gawain's actions, Shanks had no choice but to resort to a trade.
Let us exchange two of our most dangerous super gunmen for Gawain, a nimble and even stronger speed-type support character than Kizaru.
This is the core reason why Shanks allowed Kizaru to use the Yata Mirror!
Because Shanks foresaw in the future that if Kizaru couldn't unleash this move that seemed to determine the course of the war, then the gradually weakened Marines and the lower-ranking forces of the Dark Bird Ship would become the reason why Gawain was determined to get rid of Beckman and Yasopp!
See? Who would have known that Shanks was always behind everyone, strategizing and helping them?
Who would have known that even in battles of equal scale, Shanks was constantly observing and simulating the future!
This is Shanks, the man with the strongest Conqueror's Haki and Observation Haki in the world of pirates since Roger!
He had long ago decided to shoulder the responsibility for the future and was truly grasping its direction!
Unfortunately, the future he wanted was different from the future Gawain wanted.
He placed more of his hopes on destiny and prophecy, and in order to maintain all the future he had envisioned, he truly gambled on his past ability to become the world's number one!
Even with one arm missing, Shanks can still become a powerful figure comparable to Garp, Whitebeard, and Mihawk.
Now, imagine what would happen if Shanks' body remained intact.
Who dares to deny that Shanks, at his peak, wouldn't truly become an exceptional being like Rocks?
While Shanks was still observing the future.
On the battlefield between Sakazuki and the Big Mom.
Sakazuki raised his left hand and used his arm, which was covered in black energy, to catch Big Mom's Emperor's Sword.
The Big Mom gripped the sword blade tightly, her massive body straining with all her might, looking like an exploding volcano!
He tried desperately to pin Akainu to the ground, but no matter how hard he tried, Akainu was still able to hold his own against him!
Looking at Akainu in front of her, Big Mom became increasingly dissatisfied. Of course, she wasn't dissatisfied with Akainu; she was just dissatisfied with herself!
Even that old, Whitebeard could beat Akainu to the ground!
The result was that it happened to me...
I'm truly inferior to Whitebeard...
Thinking about this, the Big Mom was really unwilling. Although she was indeed weaker than Whitebeard, she felt that she should still be slightly better than Akainu.
At least that's what she thinks.
She believed the reason she couldn't suppress Akainu was...
Because she arranged for both Homitzes to be placed there!
If only Hera and Pronos could help.
Then I can definitely teach this damn stubborn marine a lesson, just like Whitebeard taught Akainu a lesson!
What the Big Mom didn't know was that at the same time he felt regret, Sakazuki was also feeling regret.
He felt a little regretful; he had expended too much energy on Whitebeard!
This was his first battle with Whitebeard, and before the battle, he didn't think he was no match for Whitebeard.
However, once the fight actually started, Sakazuki had to admit it.
Whitebeard is probably a step above him!
If monster levels were also divided into different tiers.
That makes it clear that Rocks is in the first tier, the highest tier.
There are currently about three people in the tier below Rocks.
Whitebeard, Garp, and Red Count!
These three individuals are clearly positioned above the other monsters!
Both Whitebeard and Garp have a record of defeating opponents of equal strength on more than one occasion. They can also withstand attacks from two monsters simultaneously without being easily defeated!
Whitebeard fought Big Mom and Kaido one occasion.
Garp fought Roger Rayleigh and Jabba simultaneously on more than one occasion.
Neither of them suffered a crushing defeat; at least they managed to make the enemy hesitant to act for fear of losses in such battles.
As for Red Count, Red Count has definitively defeated Kong!
As for Kong's strength, just look at the fact that even though he clearly lost to the pirates, he could still be promoted to the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. You should know how strong he is!
As for Whitebeard, Garp, and the Earl, who is closest to them in terms of status?
