"Knock knock"

Two powerful footsteps echoed from the dust, and every now and then, a flash of blue lightning could be seen. An oppressive atmosphere, so thick it was hard to breathe, pressed down on everyone.

Finally, things gradually became clear, the dust settled, and everyone who saw the two figures appearing all had their pupils shrink and their mouths agape.

His figure was tall and straight, with long hair flowing down his back. His right eye was filled with gunpowder smoke, and his face was cold and stern. He wore a luxurious dark gold trench coat and ordinary black trousers. His gold and black boots were somewhat large, but they landed steadily on the ground.

He exuded an overbearing and cold aura, a heavy presence that made everyone instinctively tense up.

Beside him stood a shirtless man, whose body was occasionally crackling with electricity, exuding an extremely violent aura.

The atmosphere around them instantly became still and heavy with the appearance of these two people.

"God Ye Chen!"

"Thunder God Enel!"

Almost simultaneously, both the Big Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates were somewhat astonished and solemn.

Thunder God Enel, didn't care, because they had seen each other many times in the past two years. They had fought against both Katakuri and Marco, and even their captains couldn't do anything to each other.

But the people around them are what they fear most.

In recent years, this person has rarely appeared on the high seas, but just the fact that he is the captain of Thunder God Enel shows how terrifying he is.

However, the long-lost God appeared at this moment, causing Katakuri and Marco to break out in a cold sweat.

First, his cold pupils looked at Marco, and then Ye Chen disappeared.

Without uttering a word, Ye Chen launched his attack right away. Sakura was in pain, and he didn't have time to waste.

A strange change occurred throughout his body; Observation Haki Control directly.

"Boom"

A dazzling blue streak flew over everyone's heads, creating a hurricane, and crashed onto a barren mountain. In an instant, the earth shook, and the entire barren mountain collapsed, turning into ruins.

All of this happened too fast.

"You'd better think this through, it has nothing to do with the Big Pirates."

Enel condensed electrons and appeared beside Katakuri, his eyes a deep blue, giving him a cold look.

"You've got your eyes on the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Katakuri's pupils dilated slightly as he looked at Enel in disbelief. After all, that was the Whitebeard Pirates. Even Mom wouldn't dare go too far, otherwise, no one could stop Whitebeard when he went berserk.

"This is none of your business, get out!"

Turning to the side, Enel watched as the Whitebeard Pirates reacted, intending to stop Ye Chen. After leaving behind a single sentence, he transformed into electrons and vanished.

The next second, Enel appeared in front of Namur and kicked out directly.

Armed with Armament Haki covering his hands, even though Namur immediately tried to block, he couldn't escape the immense force and was sent flying, knocking several pirates away on the spot.

"Boom"

Conqueror's Haki swept across the sky, lightning crackled around Enel, and half of the pirates who charged forward collapsed to the ground.

"Katakuri- go".

At this moment, Brulee, Daifuku, and the others walked up to Katakuri and looked at the battle in the distance; their expressions changed drastically.

"That Thunder God guy actually dared to show up again! Mom's still furious about what happened at the last banquet."

Many of the Four Emperors now know Enel, after all, they've hated him to the core these past two years.

"Is that person God?! They've got their eyes on the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Daifuku, on the other hand, remained calm and frowned as he observed the current situation.

"Go back and tell your mother!"

Katakuri looked up at the two figures, one black and one blue, in mid-air, his face filled with disbelief, because Marco, who had just been fighting him, was completely on the receiving end of the beating.

Katakuri and Ye Chen still had a battle to fight, but now was not the time for a confrontation, because Katakuri only glanced at them before putting away his trident and preparing to leave.

"Katakuri, who is that person? Don't we want Wheat Island anymore?"

Brulee didn't know Ye Chen, so she was a little puzzled as to why Katakuri abandoned Wheat Island. Logically, Katakuri shouldn't be afraid of Thunder God.

"Brulee, that's God. It's probably a ruined island after the Battle of Wheat Island."

Daifuku had heard of God before, but he never expected to encounter him here, especially since he made such a big move right away. It was clear that he had come for the Whitebeard Pirates.

"But!"

"No buts, we're retreating!"

Katakuri's eyes narrowed, leaving no room for refusal, and he walked towards the coastline.

Resentful but helpless, Brulee stomped her foot and followed after them.

At this moment, no one paid attention to Katakuri and the others' departure; the most important thing was the battle that was taking place nearby.

"Thunder God Enel, are you challenging the Whitebeard Pirates?" Blood dripped from his mouth as Namur stepped out from the rubble, exuding a powerful aura, and stared directly at Enel.

"I've seen you before, from the Whitebeard Pirates."

Enel vaguely remembered Namur; he had obviously seen him on the ship when he challenged Whitebeard.

"You've forgotten how Pops beat you half to death last time, yet you dare to provoke us."

Namur's face was grim as he looked at his unconscious subordinates around him. His hands, now Armament Haki with discoloration, were filled with rage.

"Click"

A flash of lightning, Enel, his face grim, appeared beside Namur. He unleashed a thunderous kick, crackling with electricity.

Clenching his fist, combining Armament Haki with immense strength, Namur unleashed a punch that shook the very air as it collided heavily with Enel.

The ground beneath their feet exploded, cracks spreading outwards, and the entire ground was blown away in a chaotic mess, causing many pirates to scream in agony.

The immense force caused Namur to grunt and be thrown sideways.

With a disdainful look, Enel arrogantly looked at Namur and said coldly, "I will get my revenge on that old man for this humiliation sooner or later. I originally intended to spare your life, but your words have made me very unhappy."

On the shattered ground, a stone seemed to be squeezed by a magnetic field, slowly floating in the air before turning into powder, with streaks of blue lightning scattering in all directions.

An aura of ferocity pressed down, Namur's body to swell violently, his sharp, cold teeth gleaming with a chilling light.

It should be noted that Namur is Fish-Men, and a shark- Fish-Man at that. On land, he is ten times stronger than a human, and he is also proficient in Armament Haki, having reached the intermediate level of Haki transformation.

As is generally known, Armament Haki can be roughly divided into three levels.

The first level is the invisible armor, which Materialization and has a slight black tint, initially increasing attack and defense.

The second level is complete Materialization. Those who are empowered can directly change the color of their Armament Haki according to their own power, such as red, dark blue, purple, etc.

At the second level, the attack and defense capabilities are even stronger, and the ability to strike the body of Logia is even more precise.

Above that is the third level, where the colors become even more intense and the object's shape can be altered, to the point that even a leaf can be transformed into a longsword for killing.

In other words, the third level allows one to transform anything into a weapon of their choice using Armament Haki, with unimaginable attack power, defense, and so on.

As for whether there are any levels at the third level, perhaps there are, but they have not yet appeared.

However, one thing is certain: there is one person in this world who has reached the limit of the third level, and that is the naval Garp the Hero.

Of course, there may be many others who have reached the third level of Armament Haki, but as of now, no one on the high seas has reached such a deep level as Garp.
