roar!
A Sea Kings, a hundred meters long, let out a deep roar.
It suddenly broke through the water when it was only thirty or forty meters away from the warship.
The speed and momentum of the attack clearly exceeded the expectations of all the naval soldiers.
" Zhan Sha!"
A figure resembling a gaunt skeleton, draped in a naval justice robe, suddenly stepped forward from the crowd.
He swung his longsword in a powerful slash at her.
Boom!
The Sea Kings, hurtling from a hundred meters away, emitted deep rumbling and colliding sounds.
A neat slash mark tore open the gaping maw.
Ultimately, even the most robust part of the skull was severed in two with a single stroke.
Its two-hundred-meter-long body was split in two, passing over the warship before crashing heavily into the sea.
Along with some of the attacking Sea Kings, they were also forcefully pushed into the ocean.
The perilous situation was instantly resolved.
"As expected of Brigadier General Peng En, he was able to break through even a hundred-meter-long Sea King. He's incredibly strong. After this battle, his nomination as a Rear Admiral is practically a done deal."
A colonel shouted with delight.
This T Bone was formerly the captain of the guard of a certain country in the North Blue, and he possessed considerable strength.
Unfortunately, after the country was destroyed by pirates, he joined the Marine Headquarters and became a recruit officer in the Marine Recruit Camp.
He eventually passed the assessment and was exceptionally promoted to colonel. After several missions, he was further promoted to Commodore general.
He's just one step away from becoming Rear Admiral.
"As expected of a general personally trained by Zephyr in the recruit camp, what was the method you used to instantly enhance your physical abilities just now?"
Ryokugyu, who had been hesitant to make a move, also looked at T Bone with admiration.
To get a Admiral to admit that he is different from others.
This is enough to show that the strike just now was not simple.
" Admiral Ryokugyu, don't you know about the Eight Gates Released? It's a Taijutsu technique developed by Admiral Bai Yu that can instantly break through the body's limitations. I heard there are Seventh Gate or Eight Gates in total."
T Bone couldn't help but speak up.
"However, my aptitude is a bit lacking; I can only open three gates."
"However, opening these three gates has more than doubled my strength; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to cleave a hundred-meter-long Sea Kings in two with a single strike."
" The Eight Gates Released? Can anyone learn it?"
Ryokugyu paused for a moment, a hint of surprise on his face.
Regarding the Eight Gates Released that suddenly appeared within the Marine Headquarters six months ago.
Actually, I had already heard about Ryokugyu before.
However, he is not only Great Swordmaster, but also Devil Fruit User.
Ryokugyu was known for his lazy nature and never took the matter to heart.
Later, at Marine Headquarters, Marineford fought desperately and witnessed Akainu firsthand, feeling amazed at the sight.
I never imagined that these Eight Gates Released would be learned by other lower-ranking officers within the Marine Headquarters.
Although he has only opened three doors, he doesn't seem to be very proficient.
However, this clearly overturned Ryokugyu's perception.
At least in his eyes, shouldn't ultimate techniques be kept secret?
Why is it so well-known? And why can anyone manage learning?
Could it be that Bai Yu isn't worried that once others truly learn this skill, they might turn against him?
Isn't that incredibly audacious?
However, when one thinks of Bai Yu's unleashed combat power and endless methods, one cannot help but feel a sense of urgency.
Ryokugyu gave a helpless, bitter laugh and dismissed those worries.
If anyone can threaten him.
Even the Five Elders of the World Government probably wouldn't be in such a predicament.
" Admiral Ryokugyu, don't you know? Any Marine can learn the Eight Gates Released."
T Bone paused for a moment and said.
"However, there are still level restrictions for learning the Eight Gates Released. Ordinary naval soldiers can learn the First Gate, while those who rise from private to captain can learn the first three gates."
"I'm now Commodore, and I should be able to receive the training method for the Fifth Gate, but unfortunately I've been too busy lately and haven't been to the recruit camp, so I'm still stuck on the Third Gate."
"However, according to those seniors, whether you go or not is meaningless."
" The Third Gate is a watershed moment; breaking through it is not easy, but once you do, your strength will undergo a qualitative change."
"Now that everyone has lost their Devil Fruit abilities, the only path left is Taijutsu, so everyone's enthusiasm and diligence in training the Six Powers and Eight Gates Released have become exceptionally high."
"I believe that, given how this situation evolves, physical Taijutsu will eventually replace Devil Fruit as the true mainstream."
Ryokugyu paused for a moment, looking at T Bone, who had written a long and heartfelt speech, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
As fellow Admiral, I am inferior to Bai Yu!
No!
There are a total of five Admiral within the Marine Headquarters.
He's not as good as Bai Yu either.
At least, looking back on everything Bai Yu has done...
I doubt anyone can replicate the path Bai Yu has taken!
"Hmph, what do you mean by Taijutsu replacing Devil Fruit? Only a bunch of good-for-nothings who have lost the favor of the ocean's treasures would utter such words."
"Originally, I wanted to wait and find out whether that brat was actually here."
"Now it seems that after waiting so long and still not showing up, he's resorting to targeting you all."
"Although I don't know why that broken tower can't be breached, since you're courting death, I'll kill you first. I'll show you what Taijutsu are worthless."
Within the gathering thunderclouds in the sky.
A the Roar roar suddenly erupted.
As the rolling roar subsided, the accumulated leaden clouds parted, revealing a gigantic dragon head that came into view.
Seeing this figure come back from the dead, no one present was surprised at all.
Even the Five Elders Nusjuro were able to be resurrected three or four times.
This kind of occasion is nothing.
On the contrary, upon seeing Kaido appear on his own initiative, they knew clearly that this great battle had probably just begun.
" Bolo Breath!"
Boom!
Blazing Kakkō rapidly appeared on Kaido's abdomen.
The next moment, the Kakkō finally poured into his mouth.
The moment its gaping maw opened, Bolo Breath, like a bolt of lightning, shot out towards the warship below.
Bang!
The distance of a kilometer was closed in the blink of an eye, and the space along the way seemed unable to withstand this force, stirring up large ripples in the air.
Even before the attack got close, it created an inexplicable feeling of suffocation.
Seeing the rapidly enlarging attack in his pupils, T Bone's expression changed, but a resolute look flashed in his pupils, and he was about to strike back head-on.
However, a figure had already appeared in front of him first. The katana in Ryokugyu's hand erupted with a sharp blade aura and slashed down hard.
