Fujitora's gravitational field propelled the platform made of rubble into the air.
Propelled by gravity, it rapidly ascends towards the sea Onigashima.
"Trying to run away?"
Roy's voice came from below, not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.
The pale blue aura of his soul suddenly surged.
The Awakening spiritual power was no longer an invisible oppressive force, but transformed into visible blue light patterns that surged out of his body like a tide, instantly covering the entire airspace.
The giant stone platform that was rising into the air suddenly stopped.
It felt like hitting an invisible wall.
Fujitora's expression changed drastically. He activated the Press-Press Fruit with all his might, and purple gravity ripples spread wildly, trying to push away the force that was suppressing the boulder.
But Roy's mental power was too immense, like an entire ocean pressing down on a fishing boat. The giant stone platform was nailed in mid-air, unable to advance or retreat, and could only tremble violently under the confrontation of the two forces.
Cracks began to appear on the surface of the stone.
"So heavy..."
Fujitora's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his hand holding the blind man's cane was trembling slightly.
For the first time, his Press-Press Fruit encountered an opponent he couldn't overcome, and the feeling was just like the helplessness he felt when facing a powerful foe for the first time.
Roy's Telekinesis was like an invisible hand, gripping the entire platform.
Everyone on the platform felt their feet sink.
The feeling was very strange. It wasn't just gravity, but a feeling of being squeezed from all directions at the same time. My legs felt like they were filled with lead, and even my eyelids felt heavy.
Fujitora tapped the stone surface repeatedly with his cane, and purple ripples spread outwards in waves.
They tried to use the power of the Press-Press Fruit to break Roy's blockade, but to no avail.
"Damn it..." Cold sweat beaded on Fujitora's forehead, and the veins on his hand gripping the cane bulged.
Garp stood at the edge of the platform, his gaze fixed on the dark-haired man below.
Roy stood in the center of the ruins, surrounded by a pale blue aura of his soul.
One hand was raised, the five fingers slightly bent, as if grasping something in the void.
" The Sengoku," Garp suddenly spoke, his voice unusually deep.
The Sengoku had already risen to power.
The golden Buddhist light on his body flickered intermittently, and he still bore the wounds left by Roy, but there was not a trace of hesitation on his wrinkled face.
"I know."
The tacit understanding between comrades-in-arms over the years was pushed to its limit at this moment.
The two leaped off the edge of the platform at the same time, their figures, one in gold and one in darkness, falling towards the ground like two meteorites falling from the sky.
" Galaxy Impact!"
Garp's fist slammed out as he fell.
His entire right arm muscles bulged, and Conqueror's Haki Inazuma erupted from his fist, turning his entire arm a dark reddish-black.
Roy raised his hand, and a pale blue light screen unfolded.
The fist slammed into the light barrier.
The shockwave compressed the surrounding air into a visible white ring of air that exploded in all directions.
The light screen caved inward from the punch, and the power of the soul surged and churned like a pot of boiling water.
Roy frowned slightly.
It seems this old guy is indeed getting a bit anxious.
The old man's full-force punch was indeed far superior to any ordinary Conqueror's Coating attack.
The soul barrier formed by the Devil Fruit Awakening and the Telekinesis-Telekinesis Fruit Awakening began to show fine cracks under the constant impact of Conqueror's Haki, like the fine spider silk marks left on porcelain before it explodes.
Roy also had to concentrate some of his energy on maintaining the soul barrier.
As a result, the Telekinesis Domain began to weaken slightly.
However, it was only a momentary loosening, but that was enough for Fujitora at the moment.
The blind man's cane slammed into the stone surface, causing purple gravity ripples to explode. The rubble platform shot out like a cannonball, hurtling towards the Wano Country.
Luffy stood at the edge of the platform, looking at the ground receding into the distance, and at Garp and Sengoku growing smaller and smaller, his fists clenching involuntarily.
Nami clung to his arm, afraid that this idiot might do something rash and jump again.
" Luffy!" she called out.
Luffy didn't move.
Of course he wanted to jump.
But Garp's words were like nails stuck in his mind, and images of his comrades covered in wounds flashed through his mind as well.
He closed his eyes, forcefully suppressing the impulse.
On the ground.
Garp landed a powerful punch, but the recoil sent him staggering back several steps, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth.
Sengoku didn't look at him. Instead, he flashed out from behind, his Buddha palm wrapped in golden light, and slapped towards Roy.
To stop Roy from trying to control Fujitora again.
Roy dodged to the side, and with a sweeping motion of his Shusui, the Buddha's Light was cleaved in two.
Sengoku, however, did not linger in battle. Instead, he turned and charged towards Garp.
Before Garp could even react to what was happening, Sengoku delivered a powerful palm strike to his chest.
The palm strike didn't injure him, but the force of the strike sent him flying into the air, precisely chasing after the retreating boulder platform.
" Sengoku --!!!"
Garp's roar tore through the night sky.
He reached out as if to grab something, but his body was supported by the Buddha's light, and he couldn't stop.
He could only watch helplessly as the Sengoku stood alone on the ruins, the golden Buddha light fading into the distance.
"You are a hero of the navy; you cannot perish here."
The voice of the Sengoku came from below.
"This place is enough for me, this old man."
Fujitora caught Garp.
Gravity ripples enveloped his body, pulling him onto the platform.
Garp landed on the platform and rushed to the edge, but was stopped by Fujitora's gravity.
"Lord Garp! Please respect Sengoku Sengoku's decision!"
Garp slammed his fist on the platform, sending rocks flying and shaking the entire platform.
He didn't jump again, but stared intently in the direction of Onigashima, his bloodshot eyes filled with blood, and his lips pressed into a thin line.
The platform, carrying everyone, disappeared into the night sky.
Amidst the ruins, Sengoku turned around.
Jhin, Queen, Jack had surrounded him from three directions, while the Flying Six were scattered on the outer perimeter, blocking all his escape routes.
"Former Fleet Admiral, please don't blame us." Jin drew his flaming blade, the flames reflecting off half of his mask.
Sengoku laughed, and the golden Buddhist light reignited.
"Bring it on."
"This old man has been waiting for this day for a long time."
Kaido walked over from a distance, hoisted the Hassaikai onto his shoulder, looked at the vanished rubble platform in the sky, then glanced at Sengoku surrounded by his subordinates, and frowned.
" Roy, are we just going to let them get away like that?"
Roy retracted his soul light screen, dusted off his clothes, and showed no sign of disappointment on his face.
"Let them run away then."
Luffy's Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika has Awakening, but he doesn't know how to use it yet.
This newly Awakening state is the most unstable and doesn't last long.
You've cornered him now. At most, he'll unleash a desperate attack, but the result will be the same afterward.
"Let him go back and digest this for a while."
"Wait until he truly masters the power of Awakening, then that will be the battle you can truly enjoy."
Kaido grunted, seemingly satisfied with the explanation.
