The Space-Transfer Ability and Intangibility
Tianqi ignored them and looked at Sengoku and the others, saying, "I'll say it again, if you retreat now I can pretend I didn't see anything, but if you remain obstinate, don't blame me for unleashing a massacre!"
Despite Tianqi's warning, Sengoku and the others remained unmoved. What a joke! Historically, only pirates have ever escaped, never the navy. Besides, this time so many top-tier fighters have arrived. They have to fight it out, no matter who's stronger.
"This seems to be a very special ability, requiring specific hand gestures to activate. It looks incredibly versatile!" Sengoku and Karp both wore solemn expressions, clearly indicating that Tianqi's unpredictable abilities had exceeded their expectations.
"With so many people mobilized this time, it would be a joke for the Navy to Conqueror Pirates is Uchiha Tianqi. As long as we keep him occupied and capture his crew, we can definitely make him hesitate to act!" Sengoku was also a little unsure. Uchiha Tianqi was indeed a bit difficult to deal with. Even if he didn't want to do such a despicable thing, he had to do it for the sake of the Navy's justice.
"Sengoku's behavior is a bit inappropriate. We are the most legitimate and righteous navy of the World Government!" Karp frowned and reminded him when he heard that Sengoku was going to do something underhanded.
"It's precisely because we're the Navy that we have to do this. The higher-ups have given us the strictest orders: we must nip Uchiha Tianqi in the bud and prevent him from continuing to develop. For the sake of our righteous Navy, we have no choice but to do this!" Sengoku looked at Karp with a serious expression. He wouldn't have wanted to do this if he hadn't received a death order from above.
"This... well, fine, you arrange it!" Hearing that it was an order from above, Karp compromised, but at the same time, he felt even more disappointed in the Navy.
"Karp, Akainu, and Kizaru, you'll come with me to deal with Uchiha Tianqi. As for his crew, Aokiji and the rest of the Marines will handle them. We must take care of them this time!" Sengoku had arranged everything, but whether the outcome would be as he expected was uncertain.
Ice Age!
Aokiji jumped off the warship and placed his hands on the sea surface, instantly freezing the entire sea. All the navy personnel jumped off the ship, grabbed their weapons, and rushed towards the Conqueror.
As Aokiji led the Marines charging towards them, with Sengoku and the others keeping a close eye on him, Tianqi frowned slightly. This attack pattern made him think of something. He was strong enough, but Hancock and the other two were a different story. Moreover, facing such a large-scale attack Shanks and Beckman would probably have a hard time holding on. It seemed that Buddha Sengoku was planning to play dirty tricks.
"Shanks, Beckman, you must protect Hancock and the other two no matter what. I will deal with those so-called Navy strongmen as soon as possible!" Tianqi said calmly.
If Sengoku dares to play dirty tricks, then he shouldn't blame him for going all out. He originally planned to use the power of the Hokage world as little as possible, but these Marines didn't give him a chance to train peacefully. Since that's the case, then he shouldn't blame him for bullying people with ultimate power.
"Yes! Don't worry, Captain. We'd rather die than let these people set foot on the Conqueror!"
Shanks and Beckman nodded and jumped off the ship to guard the Conqueror. Although their expressions were solemn as they watched the approaching navy, they showed no fear. The greater the danger, the easier it was to unleash a person's potential, and the two were not afraid of fighting at all.
Seeing the two disembarking, Tianqi wasn't worried about them. With their strength, dealing with these marines shouldn't be a problem. However, Aokiji was a concern. With this vice admiral, the marines might be able to break through and board the ship.
"Since that's the case, then I'll start with you!" He drew his Heavenly Cloud Sword and charged at Aokiji Tianqi.
"Uchiha Tianqi, where do you think you're going?" Just then, Sengoku and the other three blocked Tianqi's path, and Sengoku nodded to Aokiji.
Aokiji immediately understood what was meant and was about to leave to deal with Shanks and the other two. Just as he was about to leave, Tianqi Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan Kamui, and appeared directly in front of Aokiji, raising his leg to deliver a kick.
"Now that I'm here, you think you can just leave?" Tianqi sneered, not taking these people seriously at all. With his speed, he didn't need to use his Kamui to stop Aokiji, but he had to reveal his strength to intimidate them.
Sengoku and Karp exchanged a shocked glance as Uchiha Tianqi used a new ability.
"Is this spatial ability? How interesting! The methods are truly varied!" Karp looked at Tianqi, becoming increasingly interested.
"It seems the spatial ability is a bit troublesome. Let's have Aokiji stay and deal with him together!" Sengoku frowned. With a spatial ability, Aokiji probably wouldn't be able to leave. In that case, it would be better for him to stay and deal with Uchiha Tianqi together, rather than wasting time leaving.
"Last Buddha Sengoku, I thought you were just an ant and didn't want to waste my time with you, but I didn't expect you to still dare to bite me. Do you really think that a lot of ants can kill an elephant?" Tianqi said arrogantly to Sengoku.
"Hmph! Who's the ant and who's the elephant is still up in the air. Your abilities are versatile, but that's also your weakness. You can't bite off more than you can chew. Today we're going to teach you a lesson!" Sengoku retorted, showing no weakness in making threats.
"Greed leads to indigestion, but if you chew it thoroughly, you become invincible. Sengoku and Karp, you used to chase after the Pirate King Roger all over the world. In your minds, you must look down on pirates. Today, I'll show you what the real power of a pirate is!" With that, Tianqi unleashed his Kamui and disappeared.
He then walked directly in front of them and kicked them several times. Although Sengoku and Karp, the strongest among them, did not know where Tianqi would appear from, their strong combat awareness still made them make defensive hand gestures. They were only kicked back a few steps, but Akainu and the other two were kicked dozens of meters away before they stopped.
"Heh, the Navy's top experts are nothing special!" Tianqi said, looking at the group with disdain.
Karp frowned slightly as he looked at Tianqi. He was finally beginning to understand why Sengoku was so troubled by this young man. What a strange spatial ability! His Observation Haki hadn't been able to predict where he would come from at all.
"Take this punch!" Ignoring everything else, Karp's fist was enveloped in Armament Haki, and he instantly appeared in front of Tianqi with a Soru and delivered a punch.
"Bang!" The terrifying force punched a large hole in the ice.
However, Karp showed no joy at his success; instead, he frowned deeply, as did Sengoku, because he clearly saw Karp's fist pass right through Uchiha Tianqi's body, as if the man didn't exist—it was incredibly bizarre.
"Not bad strength. If I were to actually take that hit, I'd probably cough up a few mouthfuls of blood!" Tianqi looked at Karp, Luffy's grandfather, and acknowledged his strength. Karp was indeed one of the top figures in the Navy. His Soru was almost like teleportation, and his fists wrapped in Armament Haki were incredibly destructive.
"What kind of ability is this?" Karp asked, pulling out his fist in confusion.
"It's the ability to teleport. I can transfer the attacked parts of my body to another dimension, and this takes a very long time. In other words, as long as I want, your attacks are meaningless to me!" Although he could have left it unexplained, Tianqi still wasted his breath explaining it in order to make them fully understand his ability.
"Spatial transfer? There's such an ability..." Karp understood upon hearing this, but also looked at Tianqi with a strange expression. If he had such an ability, wouldn't he be truly invincible? No wonder Sengoku suffered a loss before; it turns out he had a trump card he hadn't used yet.
"Hmph! That's an exaggeration. If you really had such an invincible ability, you pirate would have already wreaked havoc in Mary Geoise. How could you still be wandering around here? Your ability definitely has a weakness!" Sengoku retorted through gritted teeth. He really didn't want to accept that pirates had such invincible abilities, and he also felt that there was no such thing as a truly invincible ability.
"Heh, I don't need to explain anything to you. Believe it or not, I have no interest in causing trouble on your territory. What happened in the Sabaody Archipelago was just because I couldn't stand it. Right under your noses, you can even buy and sell children as slaves. That's why I can't stand your navy. You wear the cloak of justice but do nothing. I really don't know how you have the nerve to wear the word 'justice'!" As he spoke, Tianqi gave the group a disdainful look.
