The appearance of Whitebeard and his crew was surprising, but no one paid much attention to it. Instead, everyone focused their attention on the figure standing on the ruins of the harbor, who would be the key to this war.
Although the strange and eerie atmosphere puzzled Whitebeard and the others, they did not speak to disturb them, and instead looked at Wang Hao.
" Zephyr!"
Upon seeing Zephyr, Whitebeard felt a sense of apprehension. Although Rayleigh hadn't mentioned who created the techniques when he gave him them, a little thought was enough to make it clear who the other person was.
After all, only that man in the entire world has that ability.
He was well aware of the terrifying power of that Shake and Shatter the Firmament Technique, and even now he had not been able to cultivate it to its peak and break through that level.
This gives an idea of how terrifying its founders must have been.
He truly hadn't expected that this man would still be alive and appear here.
This is going to be troublesome!
" Zephyr, you are a talent that appears only once in ten thousand years. As long as you submit to the World Government, the Five Elders have promised to provide you with treasures that can prolong your life."
At this moment, Kong appeared in front of Wang Hao and spoke to persuade him.
Although the World Government and even the Five Elders were very wary of Wang Hao's power, they also coveted his talent even more.
Vegapunk alone has advanced the technological level of their World Government by over a century. If they were to recruit an even more genius and prodigy like Wang Hao, their World Government would become the true overlord of this planet, and might even be able to venture into the universe!
So they were willing to give this man a chance!
Of course, the reason why Kong dared to say this was because this man, after his fierce battle with Weevil and the others, was much weaker than before, and obviously wouldn't last much longer.
Even if the opponent unleashes an attack at this moment, he will not be afraid!
After all, it wasn't just Sengoku and others who improved in the past few years; his strength also increased significantly!
"Ha ha ha ha..."
Wang Hao suddenly threw his head back and laughed, then said with a sorrowful expression, "Twenty-nine years ago, you arranged for the murder of my wife and children; eight years ago, you arranged for Weevil to kill my students; and this time, you have even plotted to destroy the navy Douluo I. Now you still have the nerve to recruit me? Do you really think I'm afraid of death?"
Finally, Wang Hao's sharp gaze turned to Kong in front of him. The chilling killing intent emanating from him made Kong freeze, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"However, thanks to your arrangements today, the last doubt in my heart has been resolved, and it is time to make the final choice!"
Turning his gaze away and looking up at the sky, Wang Hao muttered to himself, "Do you really think I can't break through that barrier?"
"What?"
Kong was horrified again, looking at Wang Hao in terror.
An even more terrifying aura than during the previous battle erupted from Wang Hao's body. His previously hunched body became upright and strong again, and his pale short hair stood up like steel needles with the force of his aura.
This wasn't the end. After the momentum reached its peak and paused slightly, Wang Hao roared "Break!" and an even more terrifying momentum erupted.
Wang Hao's pale, wild hair turned a brilliant gold color and grew wildly, only stopping when it reached his knees.
That wasn't all. Magnetic Field Power, almost tangible, erupted, forming a powerful aura, with terrifying lightning flashing across it intermittently.
If there were Huaxia people here, they would surely exclaim in surprise, " Super Saiyan!"
That's right, Wang Hao simply copied the Super Saiyan art style, which perfectly corresponds to his own golden, raging hair after consuming Devil Fruit.
"Yo-ho-ho, Zephyr, why are you copying my design? Do you want to join my pirate crew?"
A burst of wild laughter came from the sky. Everyone looked up and were horrified.
Suddenly, a vast continent, stretching as far as the eye could see, appeared in the sky ahead and was rapidly approaching the Marine Headquarters.
"Damn it, why is that old bastard joining in the fun too?"
Sengoku's face darkened on the Execution Platform. He recognized the loud laughter as coming from his old rival, the Golden Lion, also known as the Flying Golden Lion, a top-tier pirate who was on par with Whitebeard and Roger.
Its Float-Float Fruit power is incredibly strong, capable of manipulating a continent tens of thousands of miles in size to float. If this continent were to crash down, the elite naval forces here would likely be wiped out.
The Golden Lion was floating in mid-air, laughing wildly, but its eyes held endless solemnity and apprehension.
Even though they were thousands of miles apart, he could still sense the power of his old rival—a terrifying power that was probably enough to kill him instantly.
"Looks like you're the most troublesome, so let's deal with you first!"
Looking up at the Golden Lion suspended in mid-air, and then at the continent rapidly approaching behind it, Wang Hao assumed a horse stance, placing his hands loosely at his waist.
"This is..."
"That move?"
Sengoku and Kong's expressions changed drastically. They had witnessed the terrifying destructive power of this move in the waters surrounding the Sabaody Archipelago years ago, and it was said that the move was only a half-finished product back then, and its power had not yet reached its peak.
Now that several years have passed, that man must have perfected it, and with his even more terrifying strength and cultivation, this move, once unleashed, truly possesses the power to destroy the heavens Earth Annihilation.
" Kamehameha Wave!"
Wang Hao let out a low roar and forcefully pushed out the energy ball that had gathered in his palm.
Although the Golden Lion, suspended in mid-air, did not know what kind of killing move Wang Hao was going to use, he was not afraid. He amplified the power of the Float-Float Fruit and controlled the continent behind him to accelerate towards the Marine Headquarters.
Regardless, even if Sengoku Garp, and the rest of the crew were present, they wouldn't be able to stop a continent tens of thousands of miles in size from crashing down on them.
Not to mention that this continent was created by him by diving millions of miles into the seabed. Over countless years, it has been compressed by the immense pressure of seawater, making it incredibly hard, enough to destroy the Marine Headquarters.
Unfortunately, the Golden Lion, who was smoking a cigar, hadn't been happy for long when a beam of energy shot out from below, forcefully pushing the immeasurably heavy continent upwards. When it reached an altitude of tens of thousands of miles, the energy sphere, having reached its limit, exploded and swallowed the entire continent.
And then...
That was the end of it. Most of the continent was obliterated by the Kamehameha, and the remaining small portion was blasted into countless fragments that crashed into the sea.
"Gulp!"
" Pops, are we really going to fight that man?"
Marco couldn't help but swallow hard, and asked in a trembling voice.
The other members of the Whitebeard Pirates were also filled with fear; the scene they had just witnessed was truly terrifying, and the two sides were simply not on the same level.
" Pops, this is a trap targeting us and Marine Headquarters! Go back now, don't come to rescue me anymore!"
At this moment, Ace, who had come to his senses, knelt on the Execution Platform and shouted that he really did not want to see his Pops fall into the trap set by the mastermind and perish together with the Marine Headquarters.
Moreover, with that terrifying man around, Pops and his men have no chance of winning; they will only sacrifice themselves in vain.
"Hmph! Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving!"
Sengoku, standing nearby, snorted coldly and shouted to Kizaru below, " Kizaru, let's begin!"
"Old battlefield rose with Whitebeard, cherish your last moments!"
Kizaru stood up and launched a golden beam of light into the sky, which exploded high in the air.
Ice Age!
On the other side, Kuzan, who was fighting the All-Stars of the Beasts Pirates, saw the explosive beam of light, retreated from the battle, and slammed his palm hard on the sea below. With a clear shout, an extremely terrifying cold current surged out, instantly covering an area of millions of miles in radius.
Millions of miles of ocean were Ice Seal solid by this cold wave, turning into glaciers.
This is not just a Ice Seal the surface of the sea, but a complete Ice Seal of the entire area, with ice blocks covering the seabed hundreds of thousands of miles deep.
In recent years, Kuzan's strength has increased terrifyingly. This Ice Age technique is his masterpiece, capable of Ice Seal a sea with a radius of millions of miles.
With the sea Ice Seal, the pirates' ships are now useless and escape is impossible; at least most of them cannot escape.
Long before they realized that the Marine Headquarters could not be saved, they devised this plan of mutual destruction, intending to have all the Four Emperors' pirate crews in the New World perish with the Marine Headquarters.
If you don't want our navy to have an easy time, then you shouldn't expect to have an easy time either.
On this glacier covering a million-mile radius of sea, his combat power will be greatly enhanced, and he will possess the ability of Ice Body Flicker, allowing him to move instantly within a radius of tens of thousands of miles using the glacier below, increasing his mobility many times over.
Even if those members of the Four Emperors' pirate crews wanted to escape, they would have nowhere to run.
" Katakuri, you guys hold off that mad dog, I'm going to check out the main battlefield."
Charlotte Linlin also realized that something was wrong. She gave an order to her children and rode the thunderclouds and the sun to rush to the main battlefield.
She had just seen the continent controlled by the Golden Lion. She thought she could completely destroy the Marine Headquarters and end the war, but unexpectedly, it was blown up ahead of schedule.
Keep in mind that was a continent spanning tens of thousands of miles, and it appeared to have been created from the seabed, possessing extremely high strength, yet it was blasted apart just like that.
Clearly, something happened on the main battlefield; it's very likely that the navy has secretly hidden a powerful weapon, and I must go and see for myself.
Similarly, Red-Haired Shanks of the Red Hair Pirates used a clever technique to withdraw from the battle with Garp, and in a flash, he rushed towards the main battlefield.
This almost made Beckman and the others, who were facing Garp's iron fist, want to curse.
For some reason, Garp's strength has increased to an extremely terrifying level. When Shanks was around, they could only barely hold their own against Garp. Now that Shanks, their main force, is gone, they're really in trouble.
" Red Hair!"
Garp roared and tried to chase after them, but Beckman and the others stubbornly stopped him.
The Four Emperors pirate crews had already secretly discussed this. Facing the united Navy, they absolutely could not gather in one place to fight them. After all, compared to the united Navy, their Four Emperors pirate crews were scattered in four different places and were hostile to each other.
It's impossible for them to unite like the navy; if they come together, they'll only hinder each other.
Rather than that, it would be better to disperse and fight separately, forcing the navy to spread its forces, thus giving them the opportunity to defeat the enemy one by one.
However, Garp's Hero far exceeded their expectations. They could barely hold him off, let alone defeat or kill him.
However, they had no choice but to risk their lives now; they absolutely could not let this old fellow go to the main battlefield and disturb the captain.
On the other side, the Beasts Pirates' All-Stars were also desperately trying to hold off Kuzan, preventing them from supporting the main battlefield and rendezvous with the Marines there.
Their leader, Kaido, had already infiltrated the area. Their current mission is to hold back the Navy's top combatant— Admiral Aokiji!
