Elbaf Spear

The World Government was quite efficient; they didn't keep anyone waiting long. A large hummingbird, each claw holding a box full of Devil Fruit, quickly flew to the White Ghost.

Even though he doesn't have the petite size of a hummingbird, as an ability user, he still inherited the hummingbird's extremely fast speed. Just in terms of speed alone, there are fewer than ten people who can surpass him in flight or on the sea.

Such a rare Devil Fruit also demonstrates the World Government's powerful foundation.

However, judging from his aura, he was not very strong. He came to White Ghost's side to prevent pirates from attacking him. He only felt safe when he was next to White Ghost.

Furthermore, this was a deal between White Ghost and Rediat; Devil Fruit to White Ghost to complete his mission.

White Ghost reached out, and two ghosts materialized from his palm, one with a sinister smile and the other with a naive one, as they caught the two boxes of Devil Fruit.

He presented it to Rediat, saying White Ghost a smile, "Is this alright?" while looking at Rediat.

"Of course." Rediat nodded, took the two boxes of Devil Fruit, and threw them downwards.

Jin transformed into Pteranodon and caught the two boxes in mid-air with his claws, quickly returning to the warship.

Upon opening the box and taking a look, one is greeted by rows of precious Devil Fruit, causing a collective gasp to rise in astonishment. Despite being somewhat prepared, the sight still leaves one stunned.

All sorts of Devil Fruit, with their Devil Fruit patterns and symbols.

Jin quickly finished counting the items and nodded to Rediat.

"Make way," Rediat ordered, looking down. One by one, warships and pirate ships moved their positions, and the pirates belonging to Alex's side maneuvered their warships to Gari and King's side.

A wide road soon appeared before the allied forces; the wait was agonizing for them.

For them now, it's more about the hope of surviving a catastrophe.

"Quickly, set sail!" Most of them were somewhat numb, and seeing this scene, they seemed to feel a little unreal. The officers who quickly came to their senses shouted the order.

One by one, warships left the "protective umbrella" created by Kuzan and sped towards the passage cleared by the pirates.

Only after witnessing this scene did the Marine Headquarters, the World Government, and the other allied forces on the battlefield breathe a sigh of relief, their tense hearts calming down slightly.

The allied warships continued to move away, and soon they could only be seen as black dots.

The White Ghost remained suspended in the air, maintaining a subtle standoff with Rediat, until the Allied warships were completely out of sight, at which point the White Ghost finally felt relieved.

"See you next time." White Ghost greeted Rediat with a smile, then turned and quickly left, flying in the direction the Allied warships had gone.

Rediat did not answer. He could sense the sinister intent hidden beneath the White Ghost's calm face. Naturally, they would meet again next time, and then they would truly clash.

Rediat was also considering what to do next now that the Allied forces had gained an additional Admiral, White Ghost.

Admiral White Ghost is no Vulture. He is strong in both strength and strategy. To become Marshal, he must be able to take charge of the overall situation.

The commander of the allied forces will inevitably be the White Ghost next, and the White Ghost is not as easy to deal with as before.

Moreover, having learned from this experience, the allied forces are unlikely to fall for his tricks.

What follows is a contest of overall combat strength.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Rediat reacted, looked around, and quickly returned to the warship. "Let's go back."

After such a long battle, Rediat was exhausted, not to mention the others, who needed to rest and recuperate.

The benefits of these Devil Fruit also need to be distributed.

Thus ended the battle, and the pirate alliance returned to Gaya Island in triumph.

The higher one's position, the less one can act recklessly; there are many more things to consider.

The impact of this battle was quite widespread. Rediat, who had been hiding for so long, not only became famous overnight, but the arrival of the Allied forces to provide support also sparked much discussion.

How could an old man possibly inspire such fear in Rediat had defeated Army Admiral Vulture?

While fifty Devil Fruit may seem like a lot, they are insignificant compared to the benefits of the Golden Sea that will follow victory in the war.

The information about the White Ghost was quickly exposed, but thanks to the World Government's cover-up, very little information was revealed, namely his identity Army Admiral concurrently serving as an Army Marshal.

This was enough to Seaquake. Since he was Marshal, his combat strength must be stronger than the other two Admiral.

Moreover, some of the older generation still have a deep impression of the White Ghost, especially the current Four Emperors. The White Ghost appeared in the battle of God Island twenty years ago, and was sent by the World Government to participate in that great battle. Many people faced him.

In that battle, White Ghost suffered a severe and indelible injury; otherwise, with his strength, he could have lived for several more years without any problem.

Teach had also investigated the intelligence about that battle. Most of the information had been concealed or even erased by the World Government. Most of the pirates who participated in that battle had already died, and the remaining Rocks Pirates were now dead.

Not much is known, but the World Government suffered significant losses, and the forces it mobilized were beyond imagination.

At least the navy alone would have little chance of stopping the Rocks Pirates.

Seemingly on orders from the White Ghost, the allied forces on the other two major battlefields began to retreat.

Similarly, the pirates on the other side also received Rediat's orders.

The arrival of the White Ghost alone brought about many changes, and some things needed to be replanned.

Meanwhile, the smaller battlefields outside the two major fronts also ceased fighting one by one.

Both sides seemed to have returned to their initial state, with their combat forces beginning to contract and return to the front lines.

White Ghost needs to reorganize his forces, since the previous plan was based on Vulture and the Staff Department. Now that he has arrived and taken over as commander, things naturally need to change.

This will take a considerable amount of time, and it will also require understanding the situation inside the Golden Sea.

Rediat, however, was now serious and thoughtful. He had underestimated Vulture Rediat, but he did not underestimate White Ghost. Such an old guy was not so easy to deal with.

Furthermore, he was unsure whether the World Government would send powerful reinforcements after the White Ghost; this depended on Teach's intelligence, and Teach, in turn, had to rely on Stephanie.

Rediat predicts that this brief truce will last for ten days to two weeks.

At least until the Vulture recover their fighting strength, the coalition will not dare to start a war easily. Their weakness in combat strength will definitely lead to suppression. In that case, it is better not to start a war.

This timeframe is already the limit; World Government need to see results, and they can't hold out for much longer.

The distribution of Devil Fruit is naturally based on merit. At this point, it's necessary to consider the interests of one's own pirate crew. Rediat's contributions are undeniable; he directly took twenty Devil Fruit on behalf of the Night Pirates.

No one else said anything. King, who was with Gari to hold off Kuzan, took six Devil Fruits on behalf of the Beasts Pirates, while Alex, who broke into the rear of the Allied Forces, took eight Devil Fruits on behalf of the Flying Pirates.

The remaining sixteen Devil Fruit were also distributed among other factions.

To avoid gossip, the factions that qualified for the Devil Fruit allocation sent members who performed well in the war but were not Devil Fruit users to randomly pick and eat a Devil Fruit.

In any case, the abilities the World Government uses won't be anything special; most of them will be very ordinary. This is also a test of luck; maybe you'll suddenly eat a pretty good Devil Fruit.

Since it's Devil Fruit, it greatly enhances one's combat power, so basically no one would refuse it.

Devil Fruit manages to obtain a rare Devil Fruit, how could they possibly have a chance to get one?

Overnight, fifty pirates became Devil Fruit User. Pirates who can eat Devil Fruit are generally quite strong and can quickly master Devil Fruit abilities. As their strength increases, the overall combat power of Gaya Island also increases, which is considered a remarkable story on Gaya Island.

The end of the Golden Sea Battle does not mean the end of the war between New World pirates and the Navy.

The war continues, and the navy has only five naval fortresses left in the New World, G1 to G5.

The other fortresses had already been destroyed in the horrific battles, and under pressure from the pirates, the Navy had no intention of rebuilding them.

Why build a fortress? Just to be demolished? Demolition is much easier than construction.

At the G5 Branch, Ares single-handedly stormed into the ruined fortress and fought a fierce battle against the Admiral Black Arm Zephyr who was stationed there.

Meanwhile, there are also battles between Big Mom and Akainu, Kaido and Garp, and Uranus Rhine and Admiral Kizaru Borsalino.

Ares, Kaido, and Big Mom occasionally switch opponents.

Kaido, for example, has been relentlessly attacking Garp, but he always ends up getting beaten up, as if he has some kind of Skomoire syndrome. The more he gets beaten, the more excited he becomes, and he rushes in again.

This is also how Kaido stronger. It's true that nowadays, the only way to become stronger is through such means. Otherwise, why would he go around causing trouble for others and committing suicide?

Garp's punches were undoubtedly very powerful to him.

The battles in the New World were even more intense than the battle in the Golden Sea, and the entire G5 Branch trembled with each clash.

Apart from these powerful individuals, other marines and pirates dared not approach and instead engaged in battles elsewhere.

Ares's massive nine-meter-tall body now displays most of the features of his original body, including a golden exoskeleton armor covered in barbs and the claws of Gold Devouring Ant.

With those four arms and the terrifying aura of ferocity and tyranny, he looked like a demon god.

His towering frame hindered Ares's agility in battle, and his powerful fist slammed towards Zephyr.

The air exploded with a deafening roar, and the ground beneath their feet cracked from the immense force. The impact of just that punch and kick reached a radius of hundreds of meters.

Zephyr's expression remained unchanged, his face resolute, his upper body clothes torn, revealing his strong physique.

His entire body leaped up like a cheetah, and he threw a punch, unleashing astonishing power.

The name Black Arm Zephyr still resounds throughout the New World; his powerful Armament Haki cemented his Black Arm.

However, Ares is not to be underestimated either. A born monster, he possesses terrifying power. In terms of sheer strength, Ares is probably unmatched in the New World.

Furthermore, he possesses terrifying talent and an astonishing growth rate, to the point that even Zephyr is alarmed.

In just a few days, he could clearly sense Ares's growth, the improvement in his physical skills, the progress in his Armament Haki, his innate kingly aura, the terrifying Conqueror's Haki, and the faint flashes of black and red Inazuma on Ares's body.

Ares has already touched upon the Conqueror's Haki Entanglement. Although he hasn't reached the level of proficiency yet, it won't be long before he can fully master it, given Ares talent.

Moreover, the battlefield of the New World is now a perfect opportunity for Ares to improve his strength and hone his skills.

Even Black Arm Zephyr couldn't budge Ares' massive body, and he hadn't forgotten that Ares had four arms.

In the battle against Ares, Zephyr could not gain the upper hand. Even with his superior speed, Ares's wild instincts would detect him and launch a counterattack.

This is a powerful monster, but that doesn't change the fact that Ares young. Like Teach and Rediat, he is actually younger than Teach in terms of age.

He also possesses terrifying potential. As the battle continues, Ares becomes more and more accustomed to Zephyr's fighting style and rhythm, and Zephyr becomes increasingly unable to suppress Ares.

This is unimaginable to outsiders. In the previous era, Zephyr was a formidable figure who could fight against Golden Lion Shiki. He, Sengoku, and Garp were the face of the Navy and were comparable to the three legendary pirates.

This is also the reason for the decline in Zephyr's condition. He burned through his lifespan in the Sabaody Archipelago incident six years ago. Now he is fifty-six years old, but in reality, he is sixty years old or even more.

Even if combat strength has not decreased, physical weakness is unavoidable.

More importantly, Zephyr developed asthma due to his age. Although it was still very mild, it was an age-related condition that was difficult to cure with medication; at most, it could only be relieved.

Ares's strength is absolutely formidable and remarkable. When Rediat rose to fame in the Golden Sea Battle, Ares also demonstrated his terrifying power.

Aside from their captain, "Dark Emperor" Teach, the other two major figures of the Night Pirates have made a name for themselves in the world through their strength, demonstrating the terrifying dominance of the Night Pirates.

Some have already realized that the Night Pirates are fully qualified to become emperors. As for when they will become emperors, that depends on the thoughts of "Dark Emperor" Teach and Teach actual combat strength.

"Go to hell, old man." Ares stared intently at Zephyr. Although Zephyr was powerful, his keen senses allowed him to detect a trace of decline emanating from Zephyr.

This kind of opponent is not what he wants.

They have been fighting for seven days now. Apart from Garp and Kaido, who have been fighting continuously, the other four have stopped to fight at times.

Zephyr's condition deteriorated significantly after seven days of intense fighting, and he also had to endure an asthma attack, which further hampered his combat effectiveness.

Ares's innate exoskeleton armor and terrifying vitality give him an advantage.

"Elbaf Spear - Annihilation!" Ares roared, his thick golden hair standing on end and fluttering.

A powerful Haki centered on Ares instantly pierced through the clouds, the innate Conqueror's Haki sweeping across everything around him with terrifying pressure.

On the distant battlefield, the pirates and marines engaged in fierce combat all wore expressions of terror. Some even fainted, their eyes rolling back in their heads, unable to withstand Ares's terrifying aura.

Ares's voice echoed throughout the island, causing Big Mom and Kaido, who were fighting, to stop abruptly, as did everyone else.

They are very familiar with the Elbaf Spear; both Big Mom and Kaido know it.

I didn't expect Ares to have learned this trick too.

Ares had fully transformed into human form, violently swinging his fist with terrifying power. Black and red Inazuma appeared, and he was also enveloped in his still-developing Conqueror's Haki.

"Don't underestimate me, kid." Zephyr panted, his fist, now blackened by Armament Haki, unleashed a devastating punch with overwhelming force, "Black Arm - Mountain and Sea!"

Zephyr dared not underestimate it; the Elbaf Spear had a formidable reputation, and he could clearly sense the threat posed by it.

As Ares threw that punch, the air fell silent. The unparalleled, terrifying impact carried an extreme penetrating force.

This seven-day battle seems to be coming to a close.

A deafening collision, a dazzling flash of light, and the entire world seemed to lose its luster.

The two continued their stalemate, their powerful shockwaves spreading outwards and stirring up endless dust.

Zephyr's entire right arm was trembling, his teeth were clenched tightly, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were fixed on Ares.

Suddenly, Zephyr's pupils contracted, and his breathing became rapid.

Damn it, at this time of year!

At that moment, Zephyr's asthma suddenly flared up. Although it didn't have a significant impact on him, in the midst of a collision, any slight impact could be fatal.

Moreover, Zephyr's all-out punch was disrupted by a sudden bout of asthma, which broke the balance of the punch.

With the balance broken, how can they possibly withstand Ares?

Ares looked at Zephyr, who was suffering from illness, with disdain. "Get out of here. Don't embarrass yourself." Ares was domineering and contemptuous of everyone.

Ares directly thwarted Zephyr's punch, and his own fist slammed into Zephyr's body.

A terrifying penetrating impact passed directly through Zephyr's body, and behind Zephyr, a spiraling shockwave swept through everything in its path, leaving a semi-circular trench in the ground.

The ocean, stretching for several kilometers, was divided in two, forming two large waves that swept outwards to opposite sides.

Zephyr, facing Ares's punch head-on, arched his body, spat out a mouthful of blood, and flew backward helplessly, blasted into the sea through the path created by Ares's punch.

"Teacher Zephyr!"

"Admiral Zephyr!"

The other navy personnel watched this scene in shock, exclaiming in disbelief.

"You're really getting old, you should retire soon." Kaido as he looked at Garp.

Covered in wounds, with blood-stained and shattered dragon scales, and the spiked club that Garp had shattered down to just the handle, it was enough to demonstrate how intense the battle was and how strong Garp was.

The situation Zephyr had just experienced could not escape the notice of these top experts. It was rather laughable that a figure who once dominated the seas was now suffering from illness.

Although it is currently very light, it can be extremely deadly in a battle between strong individuals, as clearly demonstrated in the recent collision.

As time goes by, his asthma will definitely worsen, and he no longer takes Zephyr seriously.

Garp remained silent, assessing the situation. He realized that the attack had failed to defeat Zephyr; the monster's physique was no joke. However, he was severely injured as a result.

After waiting a while, Garp saw Zephyr's figure again on the sea, which reassured him.

Zephyr hasn't lost yet; that asthma attack just now was incredibly untimely.

However, seeing that Zephyr still seemed to want to fight, Garp was somewhat worried. Zephyr was seriously injured and had been fighting for seven days. Even if he continued to fight, it would be difficult for him to be a match for Ares.

Moreover, as Zephyr's condition deteriorates, the frequency of asthma attacks also increases.

"We'll fight again tomorrow!" Garp wasn't stupid; he shouted and led the other marines away.

This G5 Branch can no longer be considered part of the Navy, as it has now evolved into a battlefield between the Navy and pirates.

Kaido didn't stop them; they needed to rest for a while, after all, they had been fighting for so long.
