Standoff: Reinforcements arrive
The seas of the New World are bitterly cold, and the lingering smoke of battle hangs heavy in the air. Sea fog, carrying the lingering warmth of the war, tightly seals off the entire battlefield, creating a suffocating atmosphere of oppression.
The deserted island and the naval fleet faced off across the sea, their powerful auras clashing violently, resulting in a stalemate with no room for maneuver.
The Three Admirals suspended in mid-air, while thousands of warships were arrayed to lock down the sea surface, their black cannons all aimed at the entire deserted island.
Layers upon layers of Armament Haki and Logia abilities spread out, supporting the World Government's absolute domineering authority over the Four Blues.
On the deserted island, the Uchiha clan members stood in formation, forming a formidable wall.
The Sharingan shone brightly everywhere, and the terrifying Chakra surged against the tide, tearing open a piece of Uchiha territory amidst the overwhelming aura of the Navy.
We will not retreat, we will not yield, and we will not be afraid.
There was no roar of cannons on the sea, no clash of weapons in the air, but this deathly silence was far more suffocating than a brutal bloodbath.
Everyone present knew perfectly well that if even one person acted rashly or made the slightest mistake, this sea area would ignite an earth-shattering war that would overturn the world order of the past millennium.
Just as the stalemate was completely deadlocked and war was about to break out, a continuous, Four Blues -shaking booming sound suddenly erupted from the depths of the thick clouds in the sky, reaching ten thousand meters high.
Rumble--
A series of deep, resounding roars pressed down on the sky, the air currents in the upper atmosphere churned and surged wildly, and the waves on the sea suddenly rose several meters high, surging and churning.
A dark shadow tore through the thick clouds, plunging down at breakneck speed, instantly obscuring most of the sky and plunging the entire battlefield into darkness.
One after another, jet-black giant eagles with wingspans exceeding ten meters pierced the wind and arrived, their iron feathers as hard as refined steel and their sharp claws gleaming with a chilling frost.
Each flap of its wings tore through the sea mist, whipping up a domineering and violent gale, carrying an overwhelming force to ruthlessly suppress the entire sea area.
On the broad, sturdy back of each giant eagle stands a tall, aloof figure.
The uniform gray-white Night Owl Guard looked neat and orderly. Despite the raging winds and wildly dancing robes, everyone remained as steady as a rock, not moving an inch.
Each face was indifferent and cold, devoid of joy or sorrow. Only pairs of scarlet Sharingan slowly rotated, their icy and sharp gazes piercing through layers of wind and waves, looking down indifferently at the densely packed, heavily armed main fleet of the navy below.
This is the elite Night Owl Guard force of the Uchiha Clan, who have traversed the Four Blues and are feared by all!
Dozens of figures stood in orderly formation in mid-air, their movements measured and precise.
A chilling and murderous aura instantly filled the sky and earth, making the already stagnant and oppressive air even heavier, so heavy that it was almost impossible to breathe.
At the very front of the formation, two of the most robust and imposing eagles stood side by side, fixed in the very center of the sky.
Two figures, whose aura far surpassed that of ordinary Night Owl Guard, stood silently at the eagle's head; they were none other than the twin brothers Uchiha Yaoyu and Uchiha Yakumi.
The two looked exactly alike, shared the same aura, and had Chakra that was condensed to the extreme. They were calm and composed, yet possessed an absolute sense of oppression, as if they were top-tier experts looking down upon all living beings.
The next instant, two eerie and profound Mangekyō Sharingan bloomed simultaneously, their intricate and delicate pupil patterns slowly flowing and shining.
Two powerful Chakra, each capable of crushing an entire sea area, were no longer deliberately suppressed. They poured down from the heavens with a thunderous roar, like two towering mountains falling from the sky, crushing the hearts of every naval officer and soldier.
Countless marines suddenly stopped breathing, their bodies stiffened and tensed, their hands gripping their weapons trembled uncontrollably, and a chill ran through them.
Uchiha Yaoyu's gaze was indifferent as he coldly surveyed the group of high-ranking Marines on the sea. His clear, deep voice pierced through the howling wind, resounding across the vast ocean, each word sharp and commanding. "What? The Marines are arrayed and refusing to leave, eyeing us covetously. Do they intend to take advantage of our clan's post-war regrouping to test the strength of my Uchiha Clan?"
There were no passionate roars, no violent outbursts. A seemingly mundane question, yet it carried an undeniable provocation and absolute deterrence, instantly causing the atmosphere in the entire sea area to plummet to freezing point once again.
On the deserted island beach, the Uchiha array on the ground instantly responded to the reinforcements from the sky.
Uchiha Yashiro and Uchiha Tetsuka simultaneously raised their eyes, their dormant Chakra pulsating and rising slightly, resonating and intertwining with the powerful aura of Yaoyu and Yakumi in the sky.
The Chakra on the ground and in the sky instantly connected to form a dense giant net, completely covering the entire battlefield, encircling from the inside out, and unifying from top to bottom, with the aura completely connected.
The Night Owl Guard stationed on the ground suddenly shone brightly, their Sharingan glowed red, and their fighting spirit rose higher and higher.
Chunwu and Lin led the new generation of clansmen to look up at the sky, their eyes flashing with utmost calmness and determination.
Having undergone the brutal tempering of this battle, they have long since shed their youthful naiveté. Now, backed by the elite forces of their families, their vigilance remains undiminished, and their confidence has surged to unprecedented heights.
Ace and Sabo, who had finished their meditation, were also deeply shocked by the overwhelming aura of this top-tier powerhouse. Their expressions became even more solemn and composed as they stood steadily in the formation, quietly waiting for the situation to change.
The naval camp on the sea fell into a deathly silence.
At the bow of the lead ship, Akainu Sakazuki's brows were tightly furrowed, his resolute and cold face covered with a heavy and solemn expression, and his eyes were filled with turbulent undercurrents.
His body was surrounded by molten lava energy that was subtly boiling and distorting the surrounding air with its scalding heat, yet he remained silent and motionless.
Known for his iron-fisted and radical nature, and his unwavering determination to fight, he forcibly suppressed the surging fighting spirit within his chest and focused his mind on weighing the pros and cons and analyzing the battle situation.
The support has arrived.
These three simple words represent Akainu's deepest fear at this moment.
He was already well aware of the formidable reputation of the Yaoyu and Yakumi brothers.
On the brutal Summit War, the twin brothers fought side by side with seamless coordination and unparalleled combat prowess, directly defeating the veteran elite Elite Vice Admiral Onigumo, achieving instant fame and completely shaking the Marine Headquarters.
After the great battle, both of them successfully Awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan, achieving a qualitative leap in their combat power and firmly establishing themselves as Uchiha Clan's top combat force.
Looking at the entire Uchiha, their strength is only second to the three top-tier powerhouses, Natsu, Fugaku, and Madara, placing them alongside Kei, Yashiro, Tekka, and Taoho as the core backbone of the clan.
What's even more frightening is their combined fighting power.
The two brothers are of one mind and complement each other in battle. The combined power they unleash is extremely strong, even slightly surpassing that of the Uchiha Fugaku. They are a top-tier combat combination capable of shaking the level of Admiral-Yonko Level.
Previously, the ten Night Owl Guard on the deserted island had already crushed and annihilated an entire Four Emperors pirate crew.
