"Buddha's Wrath - Vajra Tremor!"
Seeing that things were not going well, Roy was about to draw his long sword and retreat, but seeing Sengoku's palm coming at him, he had no choice but to abandon Frost Snow and Snow and retreat rapidly.
"Boom--!!!"
Centered on the Sengoku, a ring-shaped shockwave composed purely of extreme Haki and shock waves exploded out!
It was no longer the shockwave of before, but a terrifying, indiscriminate, all-around shock!
Roy, who was the first to be hit, could only form several invisible Telekinesis shields in front of him.
"Bang bang bang~"
A series of shattering sounds rang out. Roy was as if he had been hit head-on by a speeding train. Blood gushed out of the air as his sternum cracked with a sickening sound.
Consciousness almost blurred at that moment!
" Roy!!"
Bullet caught Roy as he flew backward, spun around swiftly, and used his own body to shield Roy from the subsequent impact.
"Bang!"
Bullet's massive white tiger body was also thrown away by the subsequent impact, crashing heavily to the ground.
Hawk Eyes and Tesoro were also shaken, their blood churning and they staggered backward.
The closest sailors were caught in the crossfire, screaming as they were thrown back.
The entire battlefield fell into a momentary deathly silence because of Sengoku's furious outburst!
"Cough... cough cough..."
The Sengoku figure knelt on one knee, with " Frost Snow " piercing his chest. The golden Buddha statue was dim, and blood kept oozing from his wounds and the corners of his mouth.
Clearly, Roy's strike had caused him extremely serious injury; he stared intently at Roy, who was flying backward, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
In all these years, he had never suffered such a serious injury, especially from a young junior! This boy must not be allowed to live!
" Borsalino! Kuzan!"
"Take them down at all costs! Death or life is no object!"
Understood~
Kizaru's figure materialized in the rain, his tone still carrying his usual flippancy, but his eyes were icy cold.
He glanced at the heavily injured Sengoku, then at Roy lying motionless in the distance, and at Bullet, who was clearly in poor condition. He knew this was the best time to completely eliminate this major threat.
"Oh dear... what a troublesome situation."
Kuzan exhaled a breath of cold air mixed with icy shards, barely managing to straighten his body.
Although he was also severely injured, his Logia nature still allowed him to fight.
With his hands pressed down, extremely cold air began to spread towards Roy and his companions, attempting to freeze them along with the ground.
Vice Admiral Momousagi Gion, Chaton Tokikake, Momonga, and Yamakaji, despite their injuries, gathered around again.
"Are you alright, Roy?"
Bullet reverted to human form and helped the pale-faced Roy to his feet.
"Cough cough, it's alright, you're not going to die!"
Releasing Bullet's support, Roy's voice was hoarse as he spat out the remaining blood from his mouth.
Despite the excruciating pain from the displacement within his chest cavity, he used his mental power to precisely control his body and his remaining life energy to forcefully reposition the broken sternum.
Large beads of sweat mingled with rainwater and rolled down his forehead, but the burning flame in his bright eyes never went out.
He glanced at his companion beside him, who was also covered in wounds but still stood tall.
Bullet, covered in blood and looking ferocious; Hawk Eyes, silent as a mountain; and Tesoro, gritting his teeth and barely holding on.
An indescribable emotion surged within me—guilt, anger, and above all, resolve!
Facing such a formidable lineup of future Fleet Admiral, two Admiral, Admiral, and elite Vice Admiral, it's nothing short of a miracle that they've managed to hold out this long.
Kuzan's freezing air spread like the tentacles of death, causing frost to form on the ground beneath their feet, and the biting cold eroded their already limited strength.
Kizaru's figure flickered in the rain, golden light locking onto him, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
The blades of Gion, Chaton, and the others reflected a cold gleam in the rain.
"It seems... we're really going to be defeated here this time."
"However, before I fall, I'm at least going to take that Marine Admiral with me!"
Bullet grinned, revealing a smile mixed with blood and madness, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles cracked.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
"The fall of Great Swordsman must be commemorated with the blood of a strongman."
Hawk Eyes slowly raised his Black Blade Yoru, the tip pointing at the Navy. The sword intent, which had become even more profound after the breakthrough, made the surrounding Water 7 seem to be cut by an invisible force.
Tesoro didn't speak, but silently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Faint arcs of electricity began to jump around his body again, the last bit of power he had gained by squeezing out his life essence.
Roy took a deep breath, suppressing the metallic taste in his throat.
"Gentlemen..."
"It is my honor, Roy, to fight alongside you."
His gaze swept across the faces of each of his comrades, finally settling on the relentlessly advancing navy officer. A fierce and resolute aura rose from his body.
"Since there's no way to retreat... then let's fight to the very last moment!"
"Let this battlefield remember our names!"
" Roy Pirates--!!"
"Roar!!"
Bullet unleashed a deafening tiger roar, launching the first attack. He slammed his fists into the ground, shattering the spreading ice. Then, his body suddenly expanded, transforming into a white tiger as he charged into the naval ranks, launching a suicidal attack.
"Struggle to the death!"
Kuzan coldly, his hands turning into ice, intending to freeze Bullet directly.
Gion, Tokikake, and the others also made their moves, unleashing sword energy and Six Powers shockwaves at the White Tiger.
At the same time, Hawk Eyes made a move.
The black figure seemed to blend into the rain curtain, appearing before Kizaru in a few flashes, the Black Blade Yoru slicing through the air.
A faint, almost invisible black trail pierced through the rain and struck directly at Kizaru, who was gathering Laser Beam.
Kizaru's expression changed slightly. He could feel the power contained in this strike. He interrupted his movements, and with a flash of golden light, he instantly split into several Phantom while his real body retreated rapidly.
Tesoro appeared in a flash, assisting Bullet's attack while also helping to block the attacks aimed at Bullet.
Roy, taking advantage of the precious moment that Bullet, Hawk Eyes, and Tesoro had bought for him, unleashed his full Observation Haki, allowing his mental energy to spread outwards.
"Splash... splash... splash!"
Ignoring the excruciating pain tearing through his mind, he forcefully communicated with the boundless seawater surrounding the Sabaody Archipelago.
Looking at Roy in the distance, Sengoku felt a sudden surge of panic.
What do you want to do?
"Since your navy intends to bury us here, then let this island and all its inhabitants perish with us!"
Roy's voice was hoarse, yet carried a chilling calm.
With a sharp look in his eyes, taking advantage of Sengoku's distraction, he manipulated Frost Snow to pull it out directly, causing Sengoku, who was trying to get up, to spit out another mouthful of blood.
Roy abandoned all the finer manipulations, pouring all his mind, will, and even his burning life force into a single, simple, primal, yet terrifying command.
As Roy roared as if from the depths of his soul, the seas surrounding the Sabaody Archipelago suddenly underwent a dramatic change!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sea, already turbulent due to the torrential rain, seemed to be violently stirred up by an invisible giant hand!
The sea roared with a deep, terrifying sound, and began to rise wildly in a way that defied all reason!
