Kizaru Gets Serious, a Brand-New Mangekyō Sharingan Blooms
"Your seriousness is somewhat unexpected, Kizaru." Shanks ' voice pierced through the roar and resounded through the sky.
Kizaru transformed into a flash of light, moving at high speed between beams of light, his voice carrying a hint of coldness. "A battle between Four Emperors cannot be taken lightly, Shanks."
In the distance, the clash between Ryokugyu and Ben Beckman was equally perilous.
Although Ryokugyu's strength is at the level of Admiral-Yonko Level, he is still inferior to Kizaru, Akainu, and Aokiji.
He knew perfectly well that he was no match for Shanks, so his goal from the beginning was not to win, but simply to hold them back and drag the ship out until reinforcements from Marine Headquarters arrived.
Countless thick vines grew out of thin air from the sea, coiling and strangling towards Beckman like giant pythons, their tips covered with hard thorns.
Beckman remained unfazed, the muzzle of his pistol flashing as bullets, imbued with powerful Armament Haki, fired in rapid succession, each bullet precisely severing the attacking vines.
"The Admiral himself is coming to deal with me? He really thinks highly of me." Beckman fired his gun while taking small, incremental steps backward, calmly observing the weaknesses in Ryokugyu's abilities.
"I don't have time for idle chatter with you." Ryokugyu's face was grim as he formed hand Hand Seals, unleashing even more plants. "My mission is to buy time."
On the sea, a fierce battle unfolded between Navy Soldier and the Red-Haired Pirates.
Sword flashes, cannon fire, and clashes of abilities rose and fell in waves, with the aftershocks spreading outwards and creating continuous tsunami-like waves.
For powerful figures like Kizaru and Shanks, the aftershocks were not enough to cause damage, but the ships below had to withstand the impact of the huge waves.
Not far away, aboard the Thousand Sunny, the expressions of the crew changed drastically as they watched the sudden outbreak of battle.
Franky quickly manipulated the ship's machinery, activated the propulsion system, and shouted, "The aftershocks of the fighting on both sides are terrifying! We can't stay here any longer! Quick, get Ace and Sabo on board! We're retreating at full speed!"
Ace and Sabo, who had just been recuperating on the deserted island reef, were quickly transferred to the deck of the Thousand Sunny.
The two men, their wounds still not fully healed and their faces still pale, could only lean against the ship's railing, gazing solemnly at the distant sea where explosions were taking place.
Inside the cabin, Chopper was busy non-stop, with medicine, bandages, and equipment scattered all over the floor as he raced against time to treat the serious injuries on Sanji and Zoro.
Luffy, who had just woken up from his coma, was still covered in wounds. Without saying a word to his companions, he grabbed a large pile of meat and food and wolfed it down, swallowing large chunks of meat in a flash.
His mouth was stuffed full as he chewed, mobilizing his Life Return to frantically squeeze out his body's potential, accelerating the repair of his damaged organs and bones, and replenishing his depleted strength.
"Damn it... I can't fall down yet..." Luffy swallowed his food in large gulps, his eyes still stubbornly fixed on the war-torn sea in the distance.
Meanwhile, far out at sea, shrouded in sea fog, Big Mom Pirates's reconnaissance boats remained hidden in the shadows.
Several scouts, holding binoculars, watched the scene of the Navy and the Red-Haired Pirates locked in a full-blown battle on the sea, their expressions filled with shock.
One of his men picked up Den Den Mushi and dialed Katakuri's number.
"Lord Katakuri! The situation has changed drastically! The Marines and the Red-Haired Pirates are now fully engaged in battle! Blackbeard is also surrounded by powerful Uchiha members. With multiple forces locked in combat, this is the perfect opportunity to intervene! Should we directly intervene on the battlefield?"
Katakuri's calm voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
"Don't act rashly. The situation is too chaotic right now; entering the fray is extremely risky. I need to ask Mother for her opinion. Until we receive orders, continue to lie low and observe, and don't expose our whereabouts."
"Understood!" The scout hung up the Den Den Mushi, his gaze returning to the distant, smoke-filled battlefield, and continued to observe quietly from within the sea fog.
On the Marine Headquarters ' route, a massive naval reinforcement fleet cut through the waves and sped off at full speed.
Akainu, dressed in a scarlet suit, stood at the bow of the flagship, his body radiating an aura of molten lava, his eyes sharp as knives.
He has already set off for the battlefield, with Vice Admiral Momonga and Vice Admiral Momousagi by his side, and warships following closely behind, all their cannons on high alert. The massive fleet is rapidly approaching the battleground.
High above the deserted island, Yashiro and two Night Owl Guard continued to relentlessly surround Blackbeard.
The barrage of attacks from the Gale-Flame-Water Prison: Chain Burial continued relentlessly, Blackbeard, relying on the Titan Giant's formidable physique and the uncanny power of the Dark-Dark Fruit, fought desperately to launch counterattacks from the brink of defeat.
The wounds tore open and healed, only to be torn open again; the burden of the two Devil Fruit working overtime constantly eroded his body.
Just then, from the distant sea, the deafening roar of the battle between Kizaru and Shanks, and the continuous explosions, reached his ears.
Blackbeard's crimson pupils suddenly lit up.
With a large-scale battle breaking out at sea, the attention of powerful figures from all sides was diverted, and this chaos actually created a fleeting opportunity for him to exploit.
His chest heaved violently, his heavy breathing echoed through the sky, and his fists slowly clenched.
Yashiro noticed the change in Blackbeard's expression, his brows furrowing suddenly, and alarm bells ringing in his mind.
The towering waves were stirred up by the aftershocks of the battle between the powerful forces, and wave after wave of tsunamis swept up from the sea.
A massive wave, carrying rubble and seawater, surged from the ensuing chaos and crashed towards Uchiha Rin was still trapped in the Genjutsu.
Standing in the shadows, Uchiha Tetsuka's pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes instantly transforming into Mangekyō Sharingan. Chakra surged as he raised his hand to summon his own Susanoo to shield Rin from this crisis.
But just as the Chakra at his fingertips was about to burst Setsuna, he suddenly stopped, and a playful smile slowly appeared on his lips.
In the world of illusion.
Rin watched helplessly as Tokikake's blade pierced Chunwu's heart, warm blood splattering across her vision.
Heart-wrenching despair, like an icy tide, completely overwhelmed her reason.
She wanted to rush forward, to shout, but the shackles of the illusion bound her limbs tightly, rendering her unable to do anything.
The extreme grief, helplessness, and regret exploded deep within my spirit.
Swish--
Two streams of piercing bloody tears streamed down her face. The Three Tomoe that had been spinning continuously began to twist Tomoe wildly, interlocking and reforming into a bizarre new pattern.
The Mangekyō Sharingan officially Awakening within the illusion.
The surging, boundless spiritual power, like a ferocious beast breaking free of its cage, directly tore apart the Genjutsu barrier that Tekka had placed on her.
