The Fleeing Second Golden Lion
This is by no means a newly emerging force with only one powerful figure from the Yashiro. Natsu's unfathomable depth, Ban's unparalleled fame, Fugaku's steady foundation, and a group of core members with unpredictable strength such as Qi, Yaoyu, and Yakumi, each of them is a top-tier existence capable of stirring up the world order.
If this conflict continues to escalate, forcing the Uchiha Clan to completely break off relations and engage in rampages without restraint, then this war will completely spiral out of control, overturning the entire balance of the ocean, and no force will be able to remain unscathed.
After weighing the pros and cons, Shanks had made his decision. He had to forcefully stop the chaos today and prevent the war from spreading further.
The next instant, his previously gentle eyes suddenly darkened, all gentleness vanishing, leaving only a chilling and oppressive aura. His gaze, sharp as a knife, was fixed on the distant Marine warship and the still-dying Second Golden Lion. His voice, powerful and resonant, carrying the overwhelming domineering Haki of Yonko Level, echoed throughout the entire sea, "Do you all want this conflict to become even more chaotic?! Don't push your luck!"
The sharp rebuke exploded like thunder, instantly drowning out the roar of battle.
An invisible Conqueror's Haki quietly spread out, its gentle yet extremely intimidating pressure precisely enveloping the Navy and the Flying Pirates, bluntly warning all parties not to interfere in the battle or provoke trouble.
At this moment, the Second Golden Lion was already at his limit. After several rounds of intense battles, his physical strength was completely exhausted. His body was covered with hideous wounds, his clothes were soaked in blood, and his domineering Haki was chaotic and unstable. Even his figure, which was suspended in mid-air, was swaying slightly. He no longer had any of the aura of a top expert.
Upon hearing Shanks ' warning, he was overjoyed, keenly sensing that this was his only chance to escape, and he didn't hesitate for a moment.
"Everyone retreat! Evacuate this area immediately!"
King Second Golden Lion gave the order in a stern voice, his weakness barely concealed.
The surviving members of the Flying Pirates were already terrified by the fierce battle. Upon hearing this, they immediately turned the ship around and propelled it with all their might, trying to get away from this dangerous place.
Stussy, standing to the side, felt a chill run through him, his old face turning deathly pale.
In a short, chaotic battle, she had offended both the unpredictable Revolutionary Army and the terrifyingly powerful and domineering Uchiha Clan.
She knew perfectly well that staying on this battlefield would only mean certain death.
Without daring to delay for even a moment, she flashed and quickly caught up with the Flying Pirates, hoping to escape this terrifying battlefield as soon as possible.
On the Marine warship, witnessing the enemy's complete withdrawal, Ryokugyu Aramaki frowned, his eyes brimming with deep resentment.
They finally got a perfect opportunity for all the forces to fight each other and suffer heavy losses, but Shanks forcibly blocked it, and the opportunity they had in their grasp was lost. No one could let it go.
However, he was wary of the Red-Haired Pirates ' top-tier combat strength and dared not provoke them rashly, so he could only suppress the urge to attack.
Kizaru maintained his lazy demeanor, with his usual perfunctory smile on his face, but in his heart he was weighing the pros and cons.
He knew that Shanks's intimidation was no exaggeration. If the Navy intervened, it would inevitably lead to a complete confrontation with the Red-Haired Pirates, and the situation would only become more out of control.
After a moment's thought, he turned to look at Chaton Tokikake beside him, his tone slow and somewhat dismissive. "Oh dear, this isn't something we can just leave as we please. We'll have to ask the Fleet Admiral."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kizaru raised his hand, signaling Tokikake Kake to immediately send someone to dial Den Den Mushi) to urgently contact Fleet Admiral Sengoku of the Marine Headquarters and await further instructions.
For a time, the navy ceased its advance and attacks, merely stationing its warships, forming a delicate three-way standoff with the Red-Haired Pirates at the front and the Uchiha forces on the shore, and the battlefield situation temporarily stagnated.
The fierce battle on the shore did not stop in the slightest despite the easing of the external situation.
High in the sky, the Uchiha Yashiro single-handedly held off Blackbeard for a long time. He seemed to be suppressing Blackbeard with his aura and pressing him step by step, but in reality, he was already starting to struggle.
Blackbeard's Devil Fruit, a fusion of the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Mythical Zoan Titan Giant, is truly monstrous.
The Titan Giant Form grants him top-tier physical defense and terrifying self-healing abilities. His recovery power and raw strength are second only to Kaido's Azure Dragon Mythical Zoan. In addition, the Dark-Dark Fruit has the bizarre characteristics of devouring everything and nullifying abilities. Apart from being slightly inferior in terms of top-tier Haki, Blackbeard at this moment is completely comparable to the top-tier Four Emperors like Kaido and Whitebeard.
It would be extremely difficult for Yashiro to completely overwhelm and kill his opponent by Yashiro alone. In a prolonged battle, he would inevitably become too exhausted and gradually lose ground.
Just as the Yashiro's offensive slowed down and he began to struggle, two gray-white figures suddenly broke free from the chaotic battle, soaring through the air and arriving at the high-altitude battlefield in an instant.
The two top Night Owl Guard, exuding a chilling aura and unleashing their full combat power, with their Chakra surging violently, landed directly on either side of the Yashiro, forming a stable encirclement.
Without needing any further communication, the three of them already had an unspoken understanding that was perfect.
"Joint Technique!"
With a low shout, Yashiro and the two Night Owl Guard simultaneously flipped their hands, Hand Seals so fast that they were just afterimages.
The Chakra of the three attributes instantly merged, superimposed, and fused together. The power of the three Ninjutsu of wind, fire, and water harmonized with each other, constructing a top-level composite Ninjutsu barrier with power far exceeding that of a single Ninjutsu.
A deafening roar suddenly erupted, and a torrent of intertwined Ninjutsu, carrying a world-destroying force, crushed down upon Blackbeard.
Blackbeard's pupils contracted sharply, and his expression turned completely grim.
Faced with the combined attack of three top-tier Yonko Commander Level experts, even with the enhancement of two Devil Fruit, he instantly felt a deadly pressure.
The Titan Giant's massive body tensed instantly, its dark, gravitational currents surging wildly around it, and the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit was activated at full force, attempting to devour and neutralize the incoming Ninjutsu attack.
However, the combined Ninjutsu of the Yashiro and the Night Owl Guard was both offensive and defensive, with layers of restraint, making it impossible to easily devour and dissipate.
A terrifying force crashed down on Blackbeard, and the explosive shockwave swept across the sky, tearing apart the surrounding clouds.
At this moment, Blackbeard was completely engulfed in a fierce battle from all sides.
With the Titan Giant's abnormal physical defense and rapid self-healing ability, he withstood wave after wave of fierce attacks, his wounds healing instantly. His physical endurance was monstrous. Even so, he could only passively parry and retreat step by step, completely losing the strength to counterattack. He no longer had time to consider his plans to capture Rin and break through to retreat.
The ground team battles were even more one-sided and overwhelming.
