Boom!
A massive blast wave swept back like a hurricane.
On the open sea, towering waves were directly unleashed.
However, as the giant wave tore through, rain poured down from the sea like a torrential downpour.
A warship hidden in the void gradually emerged clearly.
Looking at the figures of naval officers standing on the bow deck.
Besides Akainu, who was just defeated, there were also Kizaru, Aokiji, Ryokugyu, and even Fujitora.
The most eye-catching sight is the Sengoku atop the highest watchtower.
The only thing missing is the Marine Garp the Hero.
However, this is normal.
Among the Navy's top fighters, only Garp is a pure master of Taijutsu.
Among them, Akainu and others are able to use Lineage Factor to cultivate clones, which are then combined with the powers of Devil Fruit that they have already developed.
Their actual skill level is indeed lower than it appears to be.
However, at the very least, they are definitely a formidable fighting force.
If you simply copy Garp, let's not even talk about how muscular Garp has already become.
At the very least, if Vegapunk wants to replicate Garp's strength, he'll lose one shortcut he could take: a Devil Fruit.
To put it another way, even if Garp were actually copied...
However, reaching Garp's level of Taijutsu is probably not something that can be achieved by adding together a hundred or a thousand people.
That's why Garp isn't among these clones.
Of course, if there really were a perfect clone of Garp, that would be a real headache.
" Akainu, it seems the most troublesome time is yet to come. Don't hold back your new strength; how many can you take on alone?"
Aokiji's languid expression faded.
Looking up at the familiar faces before me.
He had also imagined that one day the entire navy would be mobilized to fight the enemy.
However, what no one expected was that they would become the enemy.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Aokiji wouldn't have believed it.
"I also want to take them all on myself," Akainu said coldly.
"But is that even possible?"
"If I manage to pick them all off, it would indirectly make people look down on the Marine Headquarters."
"However, compared to others, it must be admitted that Fleet Admiral Sengoku is the most troublesome. If he targets you, you might end up seriously injured without even realizing it."
"So, leave this imposter to me. I also want to know whether the former Fleet Admiral Sengoku was more powerful, or the current one is stronger."
Aokiji paused for a moment, somewhat puzzled by Akainu's last sentence, but quickly recovered and replied.
"It seems that the Fleet Admiral Sengoku has also gained new power."
"In that case, I'll really have to wait and see."
"Shall I cover for you from now on?"
Um!
Akainu responded coldly.
It's fair to say that since that battle, Akainu never imagined he would team up with Aokiji again.
However, this time is clearly different from the past.
At least, compared to their previous independent actions, there's a slight improvement in their mutual understanding.
"Do it!"
From afar, the imposter from the Sengoku spoke first in a deep voice.
From the moment these clones were born, apart from combat memories replicated through special means...
Only one thought remained.
Even if it means death, I will obey orders.
Ice Age!
The imposter Aokiji pressed down with both hands in the air first.
The biting cold wind swept in like a tidal wave.
A massive, overwhelming wave of ice swept in.
At the same time, Kizaru in the distance also burst forth with dazzling light, instantly transforming into a beam of light and appearing directly in mid-air.
" Yasakani no Magatama!"
Bang bang bang bang!
Beams of light filled the sky, falling like a torrential rain.
In an instant, the entire ruins of the Totto Land were once again engulfed in a fierce battle.
Whitebeard and his crew lost their Devil Fruit abilities, which significantly reduced their strength.
However, his Taijutsu are still intact.
Meanwhile, Hawk-Eye, Red Count, Benn Beckman, and others are all masters of Taijutsu.
Seeing the barrage of attacks raining down from the sky, those of them who had preserved their strength acted first.
One Sword Style: Wind Breaker!
Death Snipe!
Swallow Return Thrust!
Attacks rained down like a storm, colliding with the incoming waves of ice and laser beams.
In an instant, a massive blast wave swept across an area of several kilometers.
The sky was filled with countless ice crystal fragments, which formed a white mist that blotted out the sun.
"They're here!"
Aokiji, who had been standing beside Akainu, suddenly changed his expression and his muscles tensed up.
" The Seventh Gate of the Eight Gates Released is open!"
Bang!
The Seventh Gate were instantly breached. Feeling the surging power within his body, Aokiji did not hesitate for a moment. He reached out and threw a punch at the Wood Dragon that broke through the ground beneath his feet.
Bang!
With a single punch, the Wood Dragon shattered the surrounding icy white mist, which was directly dispersed by the burst of gale force, giving people a feeling of seeing the clear sky after the clouds had parted.
However, before everyone could react, a golden figure, as tall as Buddha Form and reaching ten meters in height, appeared in the sky before them.
" Buddha Shock Wave!"
The imposter Sengoku roared in a deep voice, his right hand striking directly at Akainu from a distance.
An indescribable, terrifying pressure, like Dotō wave, pressed down on Akainu.
Feeling this terrifying pressure, Whitebeard, Red Count, and their old rivals, who had fought each other before, couldn't help but tense up.
Even at their peak, they had to be careful with such an attack.
Not to mention now that they've lost their Devil Fruit and their strength has been greatly reduced.
However, Akainu seemed completely unconcerned about all of this, taking a step forward into a lunge stance and opening his hands like flowing water to begin his attack.
Seeing Akainu choose to confront him head-on, he once again adopted an unfamiliar posture.
Everyone's reaction was a bit unreal.
This was still the Akainu they knew.
However, before they could react, Akainu made his move.
" Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist - Roaring Aura Sky Ripping Fist!"
Boom!
A barrage of fist shadows, unleashed by the explosive power of the Seventh Gate, rained down like a raging storm.
With each punch, the heavens and earth seemed to tremble violently, as if a god were beating a giant drum, and the four directions of the sky were rumbling.
The Buddha Shock Wave, crashing down from the sky, were like a mirror lying across the void, which Akainu managed to withstand.
As the fist accelerated, a crisp cracking sound rang out.
The spiderweb-like cracks were spreading rapidly.
Seeing this, Akainu's eyes narrowed like a hawk's, and he roared in a deep voice.
"Break!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surging energy within Akainu's body burst forth like two writhing dragons.
The Daytime Tiger formed from its two fists unleashed an even stronger shockwave under the application of the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist.
The already accumulated internal energy shattered with a deafening roar.
Bang!
A burst of golden light exploded, and the imposter Sengoku, who had transformed into Buddha Form, was sent flying backward like a cannonball.
Seeing this, everyone's pupils suddenly contracted.
An extremely absurd thought also entered his mind.
Holy crap, I want to learn those Taijutsu too!
