Bang...
The fist Extreme Speed grew larger in front of Rayleigh, who immediately drew his sword to block it.
The powerful energy was transmitted through the sword, producing a buzzing sound and rippling waves.
"Hey, wait a minute, Garp! This is your grandson's idea to come here on his own, it has nothing to do with me, stop right now!!"
Rayleigh, naturally unwilling to face Garp, who was in a fit of Wrath and using him as a toy to vent his anger, immediately spoke up to dissuade him as he raised his sword to defend himself.
"Hmph, without your help, how could Luffy have so easily broken into this place? You can't escape responsibility. Prepare to die! Fist Bone... Meteor!!"
call out...
Garp withdrew his fist, and Armament Haki swirled around the fist imprint, like a star streaking across the sky and striking Garp's chest.
"No matter what I say, it's no use. Since that's the case, I'll use my power to bring you to your senses... Pluton Might... Rainbow Pierce!!"
Rayleigh knew that saying anything to Garp now would be useless; he only wanted to vent his bitterness by fighting him. So he stopped talking, swung his longsword back, and a small vortex of advanced Armament Haki formed at the tip of the sword as he trembled and met the attack head-on.
boom...
The sword tip collided with the fist, and a deafening explosion resounded throughout Marineford. The atmosphere was once again compressed by the Impact, and ripples spread rapidly.
Bang...
The two did not gain the upper hand in this exchange; each was thrown back several dozen steps by the recoil before coming to a stop.
"... I never expected you weren't as old as Whitebeard, Rayleigh the Drunkard, or rather, the Coating Master Old Ray!!"
After Garp stopped, he looked at Rayleigh with particular surprise, and grinned as he spoke.
"Hahaha, I never expected that your navy would have tracked my movements on the Sabaody Archipelago. However, I never thought I could hide it from you either..."
Rayleigh's serious expression relaxed, and he smiled at Garp.
"Yes, we had already received reports of someone resembling you from the garrison in the Sabaody Archipelago, but I suppressed them all. If you hadn't gotten involved in this war, our navy would have turned a blind eye. Now, your actions have become intolerable, and we've decided to take action against you. Let me arrest you... Fist Bone... Meteor!!"
After saying that, Garp swung his fist at Rayleigh again.
Bang...
The two engaged in fierce combat once again, with roars echoing and aftershocks reverberating, turning the area around them into a deserted wasteland.
" Six Powers Play Technique... Storm!!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
As the sound rang out, Luo Chen's fingers moved with Extreme Speed, leaving afterimages in front of him, and streaks of dazzling black starlight aimed directly at Red's vital points.
"Such attacks are still useless against me, Blood Shadow... Star Adornment!!"
Faced with Luo Chen's Storm- like attack, Red remained calm, his eyes slightly closed, his Observation Haki activated, and he drew his sword to meet the afterimages.
Bang bang bang...
Red sensed each Shigan about to strike him and used his umbrella blade to precisely deflect it at his fingertips.
The resounding booms echoed through the sky, and the aftershocks rippled outwards, causing the surrounding ground to tremble and crack, with rubble flying everywhere.
"Too slow... Red Bat... Elbow Strike!!"
As he countered, Red gradually closed in on Luo Chen, and in an instant, a flash of blood-red light appeared as his left elbow Elbow Strike slammed into Luo Chen with tremendous Impact.
boom...
Luo Chen was instantly blasted away, crashing into the wall behind him, and then collapsing more than a dozen houses before finally coming to a stop.
call out...
"... Crimson Shadow... Slash!!"
Clang!!
Red didn't let him off the hook. In One Flash, he appeared above Luo Chen, who was lying on the ground, and swung his blade, unleashing a crimson Flying Slash that instantly descended.
"Um..."
boom!!
In the nick of time, Luo Chen reacted quickly, rolling to the side and leaping up, the Flying Slash instantly striking his side.
A loud explosion rang out, the ground was cleaved open, Giant ravines spread out, and large areas of the ground collapsed.
"Hmph, you bastard, I'll settle this after this is over..."
Luo Chen knew that he was no match for Red now. Even when he had just Impel Down, his strength was less than a third of what it was at its peak, but he was still no match for him.
To knowingly charge headlong into an opponent when you are no match for them is not just knowingly doing the impossible, it is foolishness.
" Shadowless Step!!"
Swoosh...
With a loud bang, Luo Chen disappeared from that spot, heading towards safety.
"Huh?! You want to leave? You really think that'll work?"
Buzz...
After Red finished speaking, he opened his eyes, and an extremely powerful Observation Haki burst forth from his body, instantly spreading to most of the battlefield.
"There!!"
In Red's perception, Luo Chen's aura formed an image in his mind, constantly fleeing in the westward direction.
"... Crimson Shadow Slash!!"
Red maintained his Observation Haki while simultaneously slashing with his sword.
Clang!!
A crimson slash was unleashed from the sword, whistling as it hurtled toward his back.
"Oh no... Armament... Black Gold!!"
As he ran, Luo Chen sensed a strong sense of danger from behind. His body reacted immediately, his skin Hardening, flashed with a metallic sheen, and was wrapped in a thick, dark Armament Haki, activating his defense to its maximum.
boom...
"Puff..."
Even so, when the Flying Slash struck his back, Luo Chen still couldn't help but cough up blood, and was violently blasted away, crashing heavily into a tall building.
Rumble...
The entire high-rise building could not withstand the damage; the violent shockwaves transmitted to the top caused it to collapse instantly.
Gravel flew up, and gray dust filled the surroundings.
"Cough cough... Damn it, Red, are you really going to keep chasing me like this?"
Luo Chen stood up again from the collapsed building, covered his nose with his left hand, coughed twice after being choked by the smoke and dust, and glared at him angrily.
"Hehehe, don't say that. I only made a move to test your skills and see if you could still say that boast you made in Level 6... Red Bat... Heart Pierce!!"
call out...
Having said that, Red One Flash in front of him, his five fingers spread wide, like sharp spears piercing into his chest.
"Don't underestimate me... Sword skill... Shattered Jade!!"
Seeing this, Luo Chen was also enraged. He drew his sword, a thick Armament Haki coating the blade, intending to sever his fingers directly.
Clang!!
Unfortunately, even with the sword blade imbued with Armament Haki, it failed to sever Red's finger when it struck the back of his finger. The impact produced a clanging sound, and Red's finger was forcibly stopped, but Luo Chen's blade only left a white mark on it.
"Is that all? In that case, then prepare to die... Armament!!"
With a disdainful tone, Red raised his right foot high, his Armament Haki swirling around it, and with a loud crack, he swept it towards Luo Chen's waist.
Bang...
Although Luo Chen managed to draw his sword back in time to defend, his feet firmly planted on the ground like stakes, his muscles bulging as he prepared to forcefully withstand the attack, he still couldn't fully withstand it and was sent flying backward again, crashing into the ground once more, creating a large crater.
"Hateful..."
Luo Chen slowly stood up again, his anger rising, and said furiously.
" Asura Form... Release!!"
A cloud of blood mist surged from his body, obscuring his surroundings like a fog. Within the mist, people could only see a blurry figure rapidly growing larger, with a pair of large, blood-red wings unfurling. His body suddenly rose three or four meters in height, and Blood Breath condensed into a suit of armor on his body, making him appear before the people like a god who had fought on all sides.
