The Victor Is King, and That Is Justice

Faced with Sengoku's questioning, Ye Chen remained indifferent and did not utter a word.

"Tell me, where is your justice? Where is your duty as Marine Admiral?!"

With a furious roar, Sengoku clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot.

"Hmph, hahaha"

At this point, Ye Chen no longer needed to hide anything. He knew he had been exposed. Although he didn't know where the problem lay, from this moment on, he could no longer stay in the Navy.

He laughed wildly, his figure standing straight, a violent aura emanating from Ye Chen, stirring up a gust of wind.

"Justice? What is justice? Is the Navy justice? Is the World Government justice? Everyone isn't stupid; we all know that justice is just a tool for the victors. This sick world is inherently a dog-eat-dog world where the winner takes all and the loser is condemned!"

Justice, I once longed for it, but all I received was pain. This scar taught me many things: survival of the fittest, weakness is a sin!

Pulling back the clothes, the huge scar on the right chest was shocking and grotesque.

"Back then, I scraped away the shame here, piece by piece, and even now, the pain is still excruciating. At that time, no justice showed me mercy; only despair tormented me."

"From that moment on, I remembered that humiliation vividly. Justice? What bullshit! Might makes right!"

"Sengoku, Garp, Kuzan, all of you, tell me, what is justice? Is the Navy justice? Is the World Government justice?"

Staring at the scene, Ye Chen's face was cold.

"No matter what traumas you've suffered, you can't deny what the world would be like without the Navy and the World Government!"

Calm and collected, Sengoku stared at Ye Chen with a chilling expression. Even if Ye Chen's statement was true, as the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Sengoku absolutely could not admit it at this moment.

"No one can understand my pain. All I know is that the winner takes all, and that the winner can set the rules and do whatever they want!"

A bolt of lightning struck from a clear sky; in an instant, the wind and clouds surged, and a dark red bolt of lightning cleaved down, radiating an arrogant, King's Will.

"Thump thump"

One by one, the weak-willed sailors began to roll their eyes back and lie on the ground.

"You really Awakening Conqueror's Haki!"

"From this day forward, I am who I am!" Emptying his mind, he instantly erupted, his ferocious Conqueror's Haki intensifying. In an instant, a gale howled, and the entire sky darkened.

Having freed himself from the constraints of his heart, Ye Chen found himself all alone, and his Conqueror's Haki unexpectedly strengthened as a result.

"Grab him!"

Gritting his teeth, Sengoku felt that astonishing will, and his entire body radiated a dazzling Buddhist light.

"Hahaha, come on!"

With his arms outstretched, Ye Chen's hair flew wildly, and an aura of dominance and arrogance filled the entire arena.

"You traitor!"

A giant Buddha's palm appeared in mid-air above Ye Chen. Sengoku made the first move, creating a Shockwave that violently pressed down on Ye Chen.

He clenched his fist; all was pitch black, with Sisi of smoke and fire swirling around it, piercing through.

"Boom"

A pitch-black mushroom cloud exploded, shaking the earth, and a halo of light swept across the ground, forcefully engulfing everything in all directions.

Sengoku was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground with his feet sinking deep into the earth, before sliding sideways.

Faced with such a lineup, Ye Chen dared not underestimate them in the slightest and immediately used his abilities.

"You're really disappointing."

A deep sound came from behind him. Ye Chen's eyes turned cold as he felt the tearing air. He grabbed his body and kicked out.

A deafening roar erupted from the ground. Ye Chen held firm against Garp's fist, coldly sneering, "One day, you'll regret this!"

With a solemn expression, Garp didn't quite understand what Ye Chen was saying.

Creating distance, Ye Chen flipped in mid-air, but before he landed, he sensed a threat behind him.

"Pheasant Beak."

A chilling aura, a tremendous roar, and a colossal Ice Bird, wherever it went, turned everything into ice, devouring Ye Chen.

His fingernail snapped, a few drops of blood spurted out, and amidst a deafening roar, dust, and ice shards, Ye Chen flashed forward and kicked Kuzan.

In the critical moment, Kuzan crossed his arms in front of his chest and then moved sideways.

However, at that moment, Sengoku appeared behind Ye Chen and slammed his Shockwave down heavily.

Helpless, Ye Chen could only reach out to block, his entire body transforming into a streak of light as he crashed to the ground, his hands gripping the earth tightly. With an explosion, he came to a stop amidst the ruins.

A sonic boom erupted as Garp unleashed a kick as powerful as a mountain.

"Bang!"

The force was immense. Ye Chen reached out to block it, but the force was too strong. In an instant, Ye Chen's hands struck his own face, and his entire body collapsed to the ground. The shattered ground instantly cracked into dust, turning into a crater.

Blood dripped from his mouth, and billowing smoke and flames rose from his body. Garp's expression changed, and without a second thought, he vanished.

A thousand years passed in an instant. The sound vanished, an explosion erupted, and a mushroom cloud rose up, surrounded by two halos of light. It swept everything away, forming an unparalleled storm that instantly obliterated the entire coastline.

"His abilities have a time-dependent limitation."

With his hands raised in front of him to shield himself from the fierce wind, Sengoku somewhat disheveled.

At the same time, at the center of the explosion, Ye Chen's body began to solidify. Just as Sengoku had said, although Ye Chen's abilities were very strong, he had a time defect. After the explosion, he needed time to recover, and during that time, he could not explode again.

In that short period of recovery, a lot can happen.

After recovering, Ye Chen's face was grim. If things dragged on like this, he would surely die today.

Even with his arrogance, Ye Chen knew that continuing the fight would only lead to defeat against Sengoku, Garp, and Kuzan.

Uncertain of his mood, Ye Chen gritted his teeth, said nothing, and took off into the air, intending to leave.

Fortunately, Hina wasn't in Marineford, and there was nothing here that he would miss.

"After deceiving us for so long, are you just going to run away like this?"

As if anticipated, the golden light of the Sengoku glared angrily above Ye Chen, its dazzling golden light like a sun, exuding immense pressure.

"Buddha's Palm - Tremor"

An endless, immense power filled the entire sky, transforming into a colossal mountain that mercilessly plummeted down.

With a cold expression, Ye Chen clenched his fist, amidst swirling smoke and flames, creating a tremendous roar that clashed heavily with Sengoku's.

"Now."

Just then, Garp soared into the air, forcefully piercing through the aftershocks of the explosion, and appeared beside Ye Chen, delivering a powerful overhead kick that crashed down.

At this moment, Ye Chen's right fist was still recovering from the smoke of gunpowder and he could no longer use his abilities. He could only cover it with his left Armament Haki and block in front of him.

This is why Ye Chen cares so much about physical skills; the flaws of the Bomb-Bomb Fruit are simply too obvious.

Ye Chen has been thinking about how to make up for this flaw, but so far he has not found a good way. Perhaps only after Awakening can it be eliminated.

A meteor fell, overturning the earth, and hills rose up, forming a canyon.

He scrambled to his feet, spitting blood from his mouth. Before Ye Chen could even catch his breath, a chilling aura enveloped him.

"Partisan."
