Absorbing the Power of Space

He then looked at Bullet, as if remembering something, and said with some emotion, "You must be that kid from Roger's ship! It really brings back memories..."

Redfield and Bullet's gazes also fell on Whitebeard.

Redfield's lips curled into a slight smile, "Long time no see, Whitebeard."

They were reminiscing here, but Sengoku's face was ashen and frightening...

Who is Redfield?

He was a man who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Whitebeard and Roger all by himself. Bullet was a genius in Roger Pirates; probably only Red-Hair could surpass him.

These two individuals alone are equivalent to two Four Emperors- level powerhouses.

Even though their strength has been affected by being imprisoned in Impel Down, they still have no problem holding off an Admiral one-on-one.

But in this way...

Whitebeard, Bullet, Redfield, and Marco could hold off Garp and the Three Admirals.

He was still calculating the combat strength of both sides.

Moke immediately began assigning tasks. "Jinbe, the one fighting Smoker is our first mate Enel. Go and take his place. He's being entangled with Smoker and can't unleash his full power."

Jinbe nodded, then immediately rushed towards Enel and Mogg.

"Stop him..."

The Navy is full of discerning individuals who immediately understood Moke's intentions. This was because once the Logia Rumble- Rumble-Rumble Fruit Devil Fruit User broke free from Smoker...

If anyone were to hold him off again, it would probably be Marine Admiral. But right now... Garp, Kizaru, Aokiji, Akainu —which of them could possibly be free?

He had long been under the watchful eyes of Whitebeard, Marco, Redfield, and Bullet.

Therefore, this guy absolutely cannot be allowed to leave Smoker. Otherwise, only Fleet Admiral Sengoku will be able to personally intervene in the entire Marine Headquarters.

But if that happens, who can suppress Moke, Shiryu, Katrin Deme, Basque Vasco Shot, and Avalo Pizarro?

"Brush..."

Marine Vice Admiral Onigumo forced back Whitebeard Pirates ' "Lightning Lord" McGuy with a single sword strike.

Then he rushed towards Jinbe, attempting to stop Jinbe. However, another figure flashed out and blocked his way. It was none other than Whitebeard, the greatest Great Swordsman under Vista's command, known as "Flower Sword".

"Rumble..."

On this side, Bullet made the first move, his target being Garp, the strongest of the four Marines. True to Bullet's style, he'd fight the strongest.

"Galaxy Impact!"

Garp no longer held back. He came out strong right from the start...

Bullet remained unfazed and threw a punch in return.

Their fists collided violently...

Whitebeard Redfield each faced off against Kizaru and Aokiji, respectively.

Marco, "Diamond" Jozu, Ace, Shiryu, Katrin Demi, Basque Vasco Shot, and Avalo Pizarro then charged at the Marine Vice Admiral.

Only Akainu and Moke remained standing face to face, a deliberate arrangement by the others. Moke's target was clear: they were leaving this guy to Moke.

Akainu coldly said, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, making you Shichibukai was a mistake."

Moke waved his hand. "Wrong, I still have some old friendships. For Smoker and Tashigi's sake, I won't provoke the Navy... This time, if it weren't for the Marine Headquarters being misled by Gild Tesoro and wanting to end me here after this war, I wouldn't have turned against them... At most, I would have remained neutral and watched the show from the sidelines."

"Um?"

Akainu was stunned; he really didn't know this. At least not at this moment. He turned to look at Sengoku on the high platform.

His brow furrowed slightly, then the corners of his mouth turned up. "It seems I misunderstood Fleet Admiral Sengoku."

At this point, the tone shifted.

Staring at Moke with murderous intent, he said, "A guy like you should be nipped in the bud. Otherwise, you'll become a future problem..."

Meanwhile, doubts had already begun to creep into Akainu's mind.

Even he, a Marine Admiral, didn't know this yet, so how did this guy in front of him know?

It seems this guy has an informant in the Navy. And their status is definitely not low.

But who is this person with the eyeliner?

What he didn't know was that, as the commander of G1, Vergo had already been instructed by Sengoku that as soon as Moke was dealt with, he and the other commanders would immediately take action to eliminate the rest of Moke's group.

This allowed Vergo to obtain the intelligence that Sengoku was plotting against Moke.

The more Akainu thought about it, the stronger his desire to kill Moke became.

"You must die..."

Moke sneered in return, "What a coincidence... that's what I was thinking too."

"Meigo!"

Akainu first turned his arm into lava, then transformed the lava arm into the shape of a dog's head and extended the lava limbs to attack Moke.

This move was very fast.

The dog's head, made of lava, opened its mouth and bit at Moke.

Moke was not afraid at all and threw a punch. He activated his Quake-Quake ability and blasted the lava dog head in front of him into dust.

"Rumble..."

But the next second, the ground beneath Moke's feet instantly turned into lava. Moke's expression changed drastically, and he leaped into the air, hovering there.

Only then did he realize that one of Akainu's feet had turned into lava. He realized that this was why his foot had turned into lava earlier.

Sure enough, it's a new move again.

Moke's vigilance increased significantly, and he immediately punched Akainu. His Quake-Quake ability was activated once again, and Akainu was directly wounded.

However, the wound immediately healed under the Elementalization ability.

However, although Akainu wasn't injured, Akainu eyes narrowed. He saw Moke's hand reach out and touch the space that had been cracked by a punch.

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

At that moment, as his hand touched the cracked space, he could no longer suppress his excitement. His eyes gleamed with anticipation.

"It really works..."

Time reigns supreme, space is king. Fate is unpredictable, cause and effect are supreme.

These four things are absolutely revered throughout all realms. But time is something that cannot be touched. The same goes for fate and karma...

However, when he saw Whitebeard punch out Spatial Rift, he suddenly realized... something he could see but couldn't touch normally.

And there it was, right before my eyes.

So what else is there for him to hesitate about?

However, during their clash with Whitebeard, he obtained the Tremor-Tremor Fruit first. After all, with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, what was there to fear about space-time manipulation?

Moke pondered this carefully.

Then, he swung his Shusui sword out suddenly, unleashing a powerful slash aimed directly at Akainu...

"???"

Akainu looked completely bewildered, because in his view, this was utterly foolish. Flying Slash simply couldn't bind Armament Haki, and Moke hadn't mastered the Armament Haki Emission.

Therefore, such a slash should not be ignored by Logia users... Isn't that just a waste of stamina?

But just as the slash reached him, he realized how terrifying it truly was.

"Not good..."

Akainu's pupils trembled...
