Sengoku watched the state of the battlefield with a grave expression.
Originally, the war between the Divine Court and the Navy had been evenly matched. Even though Meru's strength exceeded Sengoku's expectations, the Navy had more top-tier fighters.
So neither side had gained the upper hand in their contest with the Divine Court, and the battle had settled into a stalemate.
But then the Water-Controlling Giant Beast had appeared, pushing the battle toward a state of chaos.
The Ninja World's wariness of and reliance on Tailed Beasts showed just how irreplaceable such immensely powerful monsters were in large-scale battles.
What's more, Samehada wasn't a rampaging Tailed Beast that couldn't tell friend from foe. It was a Tailed Beast-like creature with high intelligence and obedience.
So it could still play a decisive role on the battlefield of the One Piece World.
As even more powerful waves of energy surged through Samehada, its aura of utter destruction spread across the battlefield.
The warning signs from Sengoku's Observation Haki told him that things were about to get out of hand.
Countless dark-red energy particles gathered in front of Samehada's mouth, forming a tremendous mass of energy that made the air tremble.
"Tailed Beast Bomb!"
In an instant, a massive Chakra sphere took shape. Samehada leaned its enormous body forward, and the Tailed Beast Bomb shot toward the Navy like an arrow loosed from a bow.
"Damn it!"
Sengoku cursed under his breath. This was clearly some kind of devastating explosive attack. His Observation Haki was screaming warnings, telling him that even if he took the attack head-on, he would still be badly injured.
But with countless Navy soldiers on the battlefield, Sengoku acted without hesitation!
"Great Buddha Shockwave!!"
A golden radiance, every bit as large as the Tailed Beast Bomb, burst into view
