The Battle of the Sabaody Archipelago 8
Madara's attention remained focused solely on Garp, who was charging towards him.
The next second, the Tachi collided violently with the fists wreathed in Conqueror's Haki!
Boom--------!!
A deafening roar erupted, as if the thunder of the entire ocean had burst forth at that moment.
At the point of impact between the azure Chakra Blade and the jet-black Conqueror's Haki, space violently collapsed, and a clearly visible ring of shockwaves spread outwards wildly.
The clouds were crushed into nothingness by the impact, the gale suddenly became several times more violent, and a giant wall of water hundreds of meters high was erected on the sea surface. The seawater was suspended in mid-air for a moment before crashing down, creating a boundless tsunami.
The remaining buildings in the Sabaody Archipelago have collapsed in large sections, with rubble, broken tree trunks, and seawater flying everywhere.
This devastating aftershock swept outwards indiscriminately, affecting both friend and foe, and surged towards the secondary battlefield below.
Akainu and Kizaru, who were locked in a fierce battle with six Night Owl Guard, were jolted awake. Their fighting suddenly stopped, and they instinctively looked up at the sky.
The scalding magma slowly solidified on Akainu's shoulder, and the photon light flashing around Kizaru dimmed briefly. Both of them were filled with shock.
Kizaru muttered to himself, his tone tinged with disbelief. "Oh my god, a collision of this level... it's practically the end of the world."
Akainu clenched his fists tightly, lava hissing between them, and said in a deep voice, "This power has surpassed the realm of humanity!"
High in the sky, the shockwave, carrying a violent force, continued to tear apart.
Garp's muscles trembled, and the bones in his arms creaked and cracked as his Conqueror's Haki Coating fists endured the terrifying force of Susanoo Blade's crushing blows.
He gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, his white hair flying wildly in the wind, his feet sliding backward little by little in the void, each inch he retreated causing a Haki ripple to explode in the space beneath his feet.
A turbulent storm was churning within him.
What terrifying power!
The weight of the azure giant's slash seemed to press down on the entire earth.
Even when he faced Rocks alongside Roger, he had never felt such immense pressure.
This Uchiha from an unfamiliar world is incredibly powerful!
The more difficult the situation, the more fiercely Garp's fighting spirit burned in his chest, his hot blood surging endlessly through his aged body.
"It's not over yet!" Garp roared, his Conqueror's Haki erupting once more, the black Haki on his fist thickening again, forcefully withstanding the downward momentum of the Tachi.
Madara Uchiha looked at Garp, who was gritting his teeth and stubbornly resisting, between the eyebrows of Susanoo. His Mangekyō Sharingan shone brightly, and a joyful smile appeared on the face of the young Elder.
"Very good! Continue! Let me truly experience the strength of this strongest warrior of the sea!"
The three Saint Saturn standing nearby watched the sky filled with light and mist explode at the center of the collision, their hearts clenching painfully.
Their sneak attack was as insignificant as a mosquito bite compared to the combined power of these two facing off head-on.
The fight between the two people in front of them had already kept them out of the fray.
Even with their relentless offensives, they could hardly budge Ban in the slightest, and could only watch helplessly as this epic clash transcended eras.
Beneath the horns of Thatcher's Maffey, his expression grave, he whispered a warning to his companion, "Don't approach rashly! With power like this, even a Deep-Sea Contract might not guarantee survival if you get caught up in it!"
A fierce wind howled across the sky, the sea swirled and churned in mid-air, and fragments of the broken island flew everywhere in the shockwave.
The power of the two strong individuals continued to clash, with the blue Chakra and the black Conqueror's Haki constantly eroding and clashing with each other, causing the entire Sabaody Archipelago to continue to tremble.
In the secondary battlefield below, the six members of the Night Owl Guard also temporarily halted their fierce attack, their crimson Sharingan all gazing at the awe-inspiring figure high in the sky.
One of the Night Owl Guard, who had activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, murmured in admiration, "The Elder's power is indeed unfathomable."
On both sides of the battlefield, everyone was completely captivated by this epic showdown. The entire ocean was filled with the deafening roar of the two forces colliding, echoing between heaven and earth for a long time.
The stalemate of opposing forces has finally reached a critical point.
The sky-blue Susanoo's Tachi relentlessly shattered Garp's fists, which were wreathed in Conqueror's Haki. The two completely different forces eroded and neutralized each other, and spatial fragments, like shards of glass, shattered and scattered at the core of the collision.
The violent energy, a mixture of Chakra and Conqueror's Haki, could no longer maintain its balance.
First, the surface ripples of power shattered with a deafening roar, and then, the two powerful attacks collapsed completely in Setsuna, like a taut string snapping!
Boom----!!
The explosive shockwave swept outwards in a violent ring, without any deviation, violently blasting the two figures at the center of the confrontation to either side.
Garp was violently thrown backward by the terrifying force, his aged body performing a series of high-speed somersaults in mid-air—one, two, three.
With each roll, he precisely mobilized the Haki within his body, using the rolling motion to gradually dissipate the immense force carried by the shockwave. His white hair danced wildly in the gale, and his Haki outer garment shimmered with light and shadow as he rolled.
After flying hundreds of meters backward, Garp suddenly shattered the void, stomping heavily on the air with both feet to stabilize his backward trajectory.
His chest heaved violently, and a dull, tearing pain still emanated from the muscles and bones beneath his arm skin; sweat trickled down his face.
On the other side, Madara Uchiha stood between the eyebrows of the sky-blue Susanoo.
The enormous, sky-blue Chakra body was propelled backward thousands of meters by the shockwave. Its heavy Chakra form left long trails in the void, and its giant feet shattered the clouds, stirring up a storm.
The Susanoo's massive body trembled slightly, and ripples of sky-blue Chakra spread across its surface. These ripples subsided quickly, and the chakra came to a steady stop high in the sky.
Madara sat atop the giant's head, his Mangekyō Sharingan silently locking onto Garp in the distance, his fighting spirit undiminished.
"Now!"
The three Saint Saturn, who had been waiting for their chance, seized the opportunity when the two men's offensive faltered and they were briefly unable to defend themselves fully, and launched a new round of joint attacks.
Their target was extremely clear: all their power was focused on the sky-blue Susanoo's arm holding the Tachi!
Shepard Saint Shepherd Somaz unleashed the full power of his Thorn-Thorn Fruit ability, with jet-black, steel-like thorns bursting forth from the gaps in the clouds. Thick, thorny vines twisted and coiled around Susanoo like countless venomous snakes, heading straight for the joints of Susanoo's arm, attempting to lock it in place while it swung its sword.
