"Boom!"

Shockingly, countless barren mountains tore through the ground and rose up, while a meteor with a long tail plume fell from the sky. Ye Chen was seen pressing Garp's head deep into the ground.

Rushing forward at high speed, the entire shattered earth exploded, and Ye Chen, his face bloodshot and eyes red, pressed Garp firmly to the ground.

With a jolt, Garp punched Ye Chen in the stomach, causing blood to gush out instantly. Ye Chen felt as if his internal organs were being churned together.

Unwilling to let go, Ye Chen grabbed Garp and slammed him heavily onto the ground.

With a muffled groan, Garp's eyes rolled back slightly, and blood oozed from his seven orifices.

With extreme ferocity, Garp gripped Ye Chen's right hand, his feet stomping like cannons, shaking the very air.

With his crimson eyes darting around, Ye Chen vanished from his spot, leaving Garp with only an afterimage.

The figure appeared behind Garp, and the elbow suddenly slammed down. As the ground was lifted, Ye Chen only managed to attack Garp's afterimage.

The earth paled, time seemed to stand still, and the two flashed around one after another, but all they managed to attack were afterimages.

Because of the speed, the person could only be heard but not seen at the scene.

Walking close to the ground, the two collided like meteors, a ring of air pressure spreading from their knees, causing the area within a radius of ten thousand meters to collapse.

It rose into the air, the extreme airflow creating an explosion, a perilous and terrifying journey.

Amidst the Nitro Fire, Ye Chen's severed left hand was replaced, and he punched Garp in the throat, each move aimed at killing him.

Garp, with his extensive combat experience, opened his right hand, which was covered in Armament Haki, and tried to grab Ye Chen's fist.

With a cold glint in his eyes, Ye Chen simultaneously pulled out his right foot, attacking from both sides.

Garp's pupils contracted. If it were just ordinary physical techniques, Garp wouldn't be afraid of anyone. But the key was that Ye Chen's physical techniques were not ordinary; they were Explosive Body Technique.

The Nitro Fire, and the destructive power exploded in an instant. The enormous impact caused Garp to cough up blood, and his entire figure was transformed into a cannonball and crashed to the ground.

As he plummeted downwards, Ye Chen rapidly formed a force with his right foot, while his left foot stomped towards Garp's heart.

With a quick somersault, Garp used one hand to brace himself and delivered a sweeping leg kick. Ye Chen lost his balance, and he blocked with both hands in front of his chest. The next second, Garp kicked out.

He shot out, smashing hills one after another. Ye Chen rolled around in the ruins like a ball before finally getting up amidst the billowing dust.

Panting heavily, Garp stood on the ground, his body shrouded in increasingly hot steam. He was far from his previous heroic self, looking extremely disheveled, especially with a bloody, empty hole in his left eye and his body covered in cuts and lacerations.

Across from him, Ye Chen's chest caved in slightly, and he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face deathly pale; clearly, his condition wasn't good either.

He stared intently at Garp. Regardless of whether Ye Chen admitted it or not, he couldn't kill Garp, but killing someone was far too easy for him.

Moreover, after venting his anger, Ye Chen no longer wanted to kill Garp. He wanted to make Garp wish he were dead. Sometimes, living is the most painful thing, like Ye Chen right now.

His flowing silver hair returned to normal, Ye Chen calmly glanced at Garp, and then spoke, "Retreat."

At the same moment, Enel, Rob Lucci, and everyone else heard Ye Chen's voice.

Everyone was confused by Ye Chen's order. They clearly had the upper hand, so why retreat?

However, Ye Chen's orders were paramount, so Enel and the others suppressed their anger and slowly began to fight and retreat.

"What happened?"

"The country is retreating."

"How could that be? Didn't our country have the upper hand?"

Both the navy and the outside world were filled with confusion as they watched the country gradually consolidate its power.

His expression was unpredictable. Garp watched Ye Chen without making a move, because he knew he couldn't kill the man before him.

Furthermore, he didn't understand why Ye Chen had issued the order to retreat.

Completely disheveled, Sengoku watched the retreating soldiers with a sense of foreboding in his eyes. Considering Ye Chen's previous actions, if he couldn't kill Ye Chen here, the Navy would face even more terrifying retaliation in the future.

We must never let God and the others leave.

Just as Sengoku was giving the order, the Den Den Mushi in his pocket suddenly rang.

"Hello!"

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, something terrible has happened! Impel Down has been attacked by the Blackbeard Pirates! Requesting reinforcements!"

"What."

With a pale face and wide, angry eyes, Sengoku wondered if he had misheard.

"Ah"

But the only response from the Sengoku was a scream.

"Hateful"

Sengoku's face turned green as he watched the members of the navy gradually withdraw. This news was like adding insult to injury for the navy.

If Impel Down unattended, the imprisoned rioters might escape, and the consequences would be unimaginable even to the Sengoku.

However, if the country were allowed to leave, the navy would face the constant threat of bounties, and most importantly, Sengoku did not believe that God would let it go so easily.

It's a terrible situation for the navy in every aspect.

"Stop! Let them go!"

Holding a megaphone, Sengoku made a decision after careful consideration: if the country wanted to leave the navy, there was no way to stop them; it was better to let them go.

Both sides suffered heavy losses. Strictly speaking, the Navy has succeeded, after all, the Rogue Rabbit is dead, but the price paid was quite heavy.

As the nation withdrew, the battle situation gradually became clear. The entire Marineford was almost reduced to ruins, with bits of flesh and mutilated corpses scattered everywhere, a truly nauseating sight.

Across the pit, Ye Chen stood in mid-air, followed by Enel and Kalifa, while everyone else entered the mirror created by Kaku.

"Sengoku, Garp, listen to me! I, Ye Chen, will make you wish you were dead. Because dying is too easy, too blissful. I want you to live, I want you to know that living is the most painful thing."

"I'll play with you slowly, and we'll get started."

Ye Chen's calm face suddenly broke into a strange smile.

Looking at that sickly smile, both Sengoku and Garp felt a chill run down their spines.

This is a madman, a madman who is beginning to turn into a ruthless, morbidly twisted madman.

"Yes."

Beside her, Kalifa slammed her hands down, and then the entire sky, crackling with lightning, began to explode, and a medium-sized island crashed down with a sonic boom.

"What?"

"There are even islands?"

All the sailors looked up, their eyes filled with fear.

After taking one last look at Marineford, Ye Chen turned and entered the mirror.

"This will be troublesome from now on."

When Garp landed next to Sengoku, his first feeling was fear. If it were a real fight, Garp wouldn't be afraid of anyone, but now that he was being targeted by a reckless madman, the outcome was completely different.

"We can deal with the rest later; let's resolve this problem first."

Suppressing the tremor in his heart, Sengoku looked up at the falling island.

The outside world is still finding it hard to accept the sudden end of the war. Why did the country, which was in the lead, retreat?

"What's going on? The country was clearly about to win, why is it retreating at this crucial moment? Has God gone mad?!"

"What kind of bullshit God? Did he know he couldn't win, so he ran away?"

Laymen see only the surface, while experts see the details.

"This time the navy has thoroughly angered God. They'll probably have to live in fear from now on. I like that!"

"Haha, the navy is in trouble this time."

"I'm really looking forward to it. Look at the desperate expressions on the faces of those naval officers, like they've eaten shit. Isn't it hilarious?"

"That's satisfying! It really is satisfying. It seems this war isn't over yet; the real climax is yet to come."

"This sea is about to descend into chaos."

"Death is not scary; what's scary is living."

Did everyone think it ended too quickly? Were you surprised? I'm quite satisfied with this turn of events, though.
